During Ronnie Earl's college years, he attended a Muddy Waters concert at the Jazz Workshop in Boston.

After seeing Muddy Waters perform, Earl took a serious interest in the guitar, which he had first picked up in 1973.

Within 6 years, by 1979 he had joined the band Roomful of Blues as lead guitarist.

After leaving Roomful of Blues, Ronnie collaborated with Ron Levy, Jerry Portnoy, Earl King, Jimmy Rogers & Jimmy Witherspoon.

In 1988, Earl formed his own band which he called The Broadcasters.

Through the years the band line up would change for every album and tour.

The band line up Ronnie uses for this gig is different than the line up he had 4 months earlier, when he opened for ABB.

The only name i could understand during the intros was the drummer. I also don't know the complete set list.

If anyone has anymore info, I'd appreciate to know more.

The sound qualty is very good.
