5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking Compilation, 4 Dec 2003
Very often when you have experienced something in the flesh and you look forward to a souvenir of the occasion you can be disappointed. I was lucky enough to attend performances of four of the annual Folk Blues tours. I have waited long enough for a video recording to make its appearance. We already have the boxed set of CDs of the concerts which added to the original LPs. This DVD is a superb bonus. Revues elsewhere suggest that the surroundings subdue the performers. Take my word for it that people such as Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf or any of the others were totally unfazed by their surroundings. I have seen many of them in clubs as well as concert halls and dance halls. They always ignored their surroundings and this comes across in these performances. If you buy no other video for a year, make this the one. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An epiphany!, 30 Sep 2004
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Well, okay...but it is revelatory to finally be able to see men like T-Bone Walker, Lonnie Johnson and Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller) performing live, even if it's only on TV.

This DVD includes 18 excellent black-and-white recordings, most of them taped in a small studio (although a few are "real" concert footage). Otis Rush is here, doing his first and biggest hit, "I Can't Quit You Baby", in front of a solely white (and quite formally dressed) audience. John Lee Hooker does a gritty solo "Hobo Blues" solely for the benefit of the camera. Pianist Eddie Boyd plays his classic "Five Long Years" (a great performance, marred only by his own awful solo). "Mississippi" Fred McDowell (from Tennessee) plays a great acoustic "Going Down To The River". And Lonnie Johnson, then in his mid-60s, plays a soulful "Another Night To Cry", introduced by the towering Aleck "Rice" Miller, whose performance of "Nine Below Zero" is another highlight.

Muddy Waters' "Got My Mojo Working" is a bit more subdued than you might have expected, and he doesn't play his guitar, but it's great nevertheless, and Rice Miller on harmonica is an added bonus. And speaking of harpists...Junior Wells performs a slow "Hoodoo Man Blues", and Big Walter Horton is here, too, doing a tremendous swinging instrumental. And Sippie Wallace's spirited and supremely confident performance of "Women Be Wise" is a wonderful thowback to the 20s when brassy female blues belters were the order of the day.

The glossy 22-page booklet is well illustrated, well written, and very informative, and the DVD is worth its weight in gold. Keep 'em coming!
