This release got me googling Caribou Ranch recording studio, where everything from Chicago VI on was recorded.
There's a Dick Clark special from '73 on YouTube showing them working there, Al Green guests: https://youtu.be/B98vT8GLFjs?t=7m22s
I can well remember stopping in tiny Nederland in 1970 and seeing the sign "Only two hippies allowed in the store at a time."
