This is the first half of the evening at the Rock 'n' Bowl. The second set, featuring Snooks Eaglin and Eddie Bo together, hasn't surfaced. But the two play a few songs together here. The whole show is terrific, and the mystery saxophone player is fantastic.

Bo's piano is very high in the mix, and it sounds like one of the house speakers may have been blown because the bass is sometimes distorted even though the levels on the tape were just fine. Don't let that give you any pause.

Enjoy!
