“I own a lot of Buddy Guy and a lot of blues music. Context - I particularly enjoy the '60s Delmark stuff from Chicago.
This is a wild rough concert where the crowd noise is up front and part of the scene. At one point I wanted to turn around and tell a yammering woman to "shut up" then I realized I was in the car by myself. :)
However, the playing is great, the audience is absolutely there with them and it is one of my favorite Buddy Guy recordings. It would have been a great night to be there, although likely I would have told that drunken woman to shut up, then her drunken boyfriend would have probably killed me with a straight razor and I would not be writing this review. That's just the kind of night it was.”
