Great live performance!

This is really, as someone has already pointed out, a great live recording. Surely one of the best live electric blues album that I own. Recorded at the Montreux Blues and Jazz festival in 1986 this CD is packed wall to wall with extraordinary feeling and great playing from all the musicians present on the stage. It appears immediately evident from the first note of the first track that Otis Rush was in a great form that night, and his singing and guitar playing is simply superb through out the entire concert. If you add to the mix an inspired Eric Clapton (that when plays the blues is second to none) sharing the centre of the stage on 4 songs and "dulcis in fundo" even the great Luther Allison for the closing act, you may start to have an idea of the final result. As a plus, and not a minor one, the quality of the sound is excellent and all the instruments sound clear. Very difficult not to mention the killer version of the classic "Crosscut saw" and an even more intense "All your love (I miss loving)" with Otis and Eric jamming together. In conclusion a five stars plus record that I suggest you should add to your collection if you are a blues fan and you like your blues very much guitar driven.

That's what i'm talkin' bout.

This is one of the best live albums i've ever heard.I'd put it right up there with BB King's Live at the Regal and The Allman Brother's live at the Fillmore.

Otis's Best Live Album Far Superior to New Delmark 70's Live CD!

First of all I'm a fan of Delmark Records but their new live recording too me is thin & weak no oomph & this new album is so much superior it's not funny, imagine the San Antonio Spurs playing a junior high school basketball game, that's how much better this album is. Frankly, I was totally surprised, as I'm not a fan of Otis's later recordings as well, I hate slick blues that has horns & crap but no balls!, but this album is incredible blues. Excellent material, excellent playing & best off, excellently recorded. I had a few of Otis's prior live albums, and this is the best one by far.
