Really too bad. To get to see someone like that in such a good setting and then have terrible sound.
I was so lucky and spoiled. I've seen many of the blues greats in the very small intimate clubs around Chicago from the 60s to the 90s. Spent evenings partying with Lonnie and Ronnie Brooks sittin at my table between sets. Same kind of nights with KoKo Taylor, Buddy Guy, Sun Seals, on and on. Fitzgeralds on the west side had some of the best club sound I've ever heard and all the boys came there to get away from the crowds downtown. If I could turn back the hands.........

Every once-in-a while I think that I could replace my approx. 14 cu. ft. (up to 500Hz) hi-efficiency enclosures plus compression driver MF/HF horns with something smaller.
I use the Michael Murry An Organ Blaster Sampler CD 80277 whenever I want to shake test my sub-setup and room. Man that big organ digs DEEP and strong.

Wow! Lonnie Brooks and Buddy Guy are some of my favorites. I do have CDs of Koko Taylor and Sun Seals too.

I discovered this band when they played a small pub in Somerset, they were amazing, and have been every time I've seen them since then. They get described as neo trad, whatever that is, all I know is it's impossible not to have a good time at their gigs. Play loud, the kick drum is well recorded on this.

I want the original and as far as I'm aware there is no CD or DVD. Aired on SVT2 (Swedish national public TV broadcaster) at 2016-01-30. Bloodborne suite at 53:40 is great.
