Format:Blu-ray
I first became aware of this splendid concert when excerpts were shown on TV around the time of recording in July 2003. The DVD was an essential purchase for me shortly afterwards.
It wasn't until hearing the double CD a few years later that I realised the DVD was an edited version of the show and that three songs had been cut to enable it to be fitted onto a single disc.
'Grits Ain't Groceries' and 'Jacksboro Highway' were originally played by The Bluesbreakers prior to John Mayall's arrival on stage at the beginning of the gig and featured Buddy Whittington's excellent vocals. 'California' appeared later in the set and developed into blues jamming at it's best (although still very fond of 'The Turning Point' version I saw JM perform in Sheffield in the late '60s).
I'm pleased to say that this blu-ray edition brings these three CD-only tracks to a visual format for the first time. A slight criticism is that they appear as bonus tracks rather than part of the concert (but I'm not complaining!) As a drummer, I finally have the opportunity to appreciate the way Joe Yuele plays those interesting little snare drum touches during the previously unseen performances.
There are lots of highlights in this concert, far too many to mention. I'll just say that each musician expresses himself beautifully within the framework of a very tight band. 'Have You Heard' is a particular favourite of mine.
Highly recommended for fans of the 'Father of British Blues' and in high-definition as a bonus!

Format:Blu-ray
Brilliant DVD - I have lots of music DVD's and this is one that I play more than most. John Mayall introduced many brilliant musicians to us over the years and there are some class acts on here too. All music DVD's should come out on Blu - Ray and with the sound system turned up loud it's just like you are there. Good sound and picture quality through out and none of that annoying 'clever' photography
Format:Blu-ray
having great sound and visuals this concert is really worth having, despite the age of the famous musicians they play with strength and allow you enjoy it very much.
