Known Faults: Several passages of pre-recorded introductions and commercially released music are removed.

I can not tell you how much every single one of you needs this show in your collection! Look at the list of performers above! Wow! All to pay tribute to Roy Orbison and raise money for the homeless in America. The sound is really good on this one, everything seems to come through pretty good. As with a lot of audience recordings the louder you play it, the more you hear! That's said a lot about audience recordings but when they are recorded right it's true.

To have Roger McGuinn, David Crosby and Chris Hillman reunite as The Byrds with special guest Bob Dylan is worth the download. B.B. King jamming "The Thrill Is Gone" with Al Kooper! Bonus! John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt together on "I'm In The Mood". I could go on but I should not have to....

I've been looking for a copy of this festival since I first saw the Woodstock Nation LP Box at my favorite Used Record Store Solo Records. I don't say my favorite lightly either I have been going to them for over 30 years. So I been looking for this show for a while. When I found it, I downloaded it right away then promptly forgot about it in my very over full download folder.

So I'm going through my folder and came across it, I immediately zipped it up for this download. It's a nice listen, you will listen to it more than once. It's also a Piece Of History, I had not heard of this festival till my initial finding of the record years ago. I looked it up, if you want to know more about it you should look it up too. It's an interesting line-up though I am trying to figure the out the addition of Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes and Sha Na Na to what looks to be a predominately Blues Festival. The only thing I could think was it's the Bill Graham influence. He would put Eddie Money and Kiss on the same stage.

Been a while since I've brought The Blues, even longer since I brought The King. So not only did I bring The King, I brought 2 Kings. Not only that but I even brought a man who's middle name is Blue. Albert King opens the show and is soon joined by Bobby "Blue Bland. After that warm up B.B. King drifts in to let the good times roll (ok so I'm not a good comedian). At the end you get B.B. King, Albert King and Bobby "Blue" Bland jamming together. It could be longer but it couldn't get any better. I mean, how much Blues could one stage hold. Maybe some Paul Butterfield on the harp and Pine Top Perkins on the piano. A little Eddie "Bluesman" Kirkland or "Honey Boy" Edwards for some diversity in the guitar style. If you can't tell I been listening to some of my old Blues records...

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to adjust some volume issues and smooth out some transitions between tracks. The DVD audio was lossy so the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps with Trader's Little Helper. Some sources are a little muddy but the whole recording is an enjoyable listen from beginning to end.

I just finished this one recently hope everyone enjoys it!

Like everyone else, there are some bands that I only like certain periods of. Some bands go through a lot of style shifts in there career. At these times some long time fans leave the circle of appreciation as new ones enter. It happens, as I said, to me too. I have appreciation for early and late Rolling Stones  but my only CD purchases when upgrading my collection was The Mick Taylor era. I was a Metallica fan from the demo days. The last Metallica CD I bought was Master Of Puppets. I was gifted And Justice For All, which I like but that doesn't count as the last of theirs I bought. I have the Remaster Box Sets, but I don't listen to any Geneses after Abacab. I don't own a Rainbow album after Down To Earth, or a Ted Nugent album after State Of Shock. I gave up on Rod Stewart when Blondes Have More Fun came out. U2 I discovered on an early tour of America when they played Harpo's Theater in Detroit. I hung out there a lot because I was in a Metal band and Harpo's was a Metal/Rock bar. When U2 played I went, it was cheap. I loved it, I went to a Harmony House the next day to buy some U2. I think it was Boy, it was a hell of an album. I did not buy Achtung Baby, my last U2 album was Rattle And Hum.

This is over 2 hours of Rattle And Hum era live U2. U2 are joined on stage buy the Legendary B.B. King (R.I.P.) and his orchestra. Can't miss with this CD which is a compilation of a 3 day run of shows in Dublin, Ireland. It doesn't get much better.

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #4

Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf etc, were very instrumental in the genesis of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal. The Blues is the foundation for Rock & Roll and all it's children. If you want a little proof just listen to any Hard Rock group from the 1970's, Free, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, Mountain, The Jeff Beck Group, Humble Pie, and more played a Heavy Blues/ Hard Rock that morphed into the Traditional Heavy Metal of bands like Thin Lizzy and UFO.

With a very quick search, I couldn't find any info on B.B. King's piano player Kato, if any one could elaborate a little please leave the info in the comments section.

This is a very nice sounding set of soundboard recordings from B.B. King at the legendary Fillmore East. I intended on posting this tribute to The King Of The Blues earlier but the Filefactory snafu made me run a little late. I couldn't think of a better tribute, from my collection, than this pair of shows. I've kicked this set out quite often in my car on the way to work. I can't get enough of it, and highly recommend it. It has a nice clean sound for a 1971 soundboard.
