**********************************************
Alligator Records' Chicago Blues legend Lil' Ed quickly got the attention of the audience and held it as he rocked the house (tent) down. This show was so much fun. Lil' Ed's Blues was full of energy, incredibly talented and got your toes tapping. At one point, Lil' Ed came off the stage and played in the audience to enormous delight. The crowd packed in tight and was a bit overly excited but they mostly settled down quickly enough.
This was superb show sure to delight Blues enthusiasts. Enjoy.

No compression was used in the post-processing of this recording to preserve it's dynamic range, listenability and authenticity.
This recording will naturally sound much better cranked up loud with quality headphones!
Peace & enjoy,
