Rec. Info:
Sony ECM717 -> Zoom H1 (@ WAV 16/44) -> Memorycard -> HD -> WeTransfer -> my HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by my dear friend Blueshacks from Set1: app. 12th row, Set2: 3rd row almost center. Set1 suffers from many chatters here and there, Set2 is much better. Packed venue
(it was the evening b4 a holiday), so there's much enthusiams in the "bierselige" crowd. So this is it, warts and all, loud claps and boohoos...Sorry, no pics..no setlist
(though it was not to difficult to guess the songtitles).

About 37 years ago this band much surprised me watching the famous ROCKPALAST night on April 19th when they opened the celebrations. Blues music wasn't on top of "popular music"
those days, but this "all-blues-star-supergroup" of already then "veteran" musicians of the british scene blew away the crowd and the TV audience with a high energy set of classic RnB.
Almost half a life's span later, things slowed down a bit (those gents are in their 70's now), but the musical brilliance didn't vanish at all. Lots of interesting and funny introductions
between the songs (I named them "Stage banter", as different members of the band are involved) and - of course - fine harp, great guitars, soulful singing, solid backbone section.
Hope you'll enjoy this one. SB.
