Notes: Great sounding SBD of Buddy blues jamming. The first two songs of each set are played by Buddy's band. Buddy calls Stevie to the stage for a few songs, starting on D2t04. In mastering, I tracked out the second set as listed; however, this is really just a long blues jam by Buddy and you can occasionally hear Stevie adding some fills here and there. For people that already had this tape, you might want to pick this up because I spent a lot of time mastering it. There were huge level swings during this tape, so much so that there were many passages that were nearly silent followed by others that blew the speakers out. I mastered this so as to smoothe the wild swings, but to preserve the feel of Buddy's performance. As everyone knows, it's the volume changes that can add the emotion to the performance, so I didn't want to destroy that, but I did want to make the recording more listenable overall than it was before.

I don't want to sound negative about Buddy, because I love his music, but if you're like me, your opinion is that Buddy's shows of late lack the originality and fire that we all know that Buddy has. That 'play the blues so funky you can smell it' line, along with the samples of Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, etc. just got very old for me the 5th show I saw Buddy. I wondered why he didn't play his ass off like the blues-man that he is. Anyway, you'll find this recording satisfies your thirst for the REAL Buddy Guy. Even though he did bring that same shit out even back then, his playing in the small blues club scene is really where Buddy is Buddy. I just wish that he'd play like this for all of his shows. I'd go back and start seeing him. Instead he just rehashes the same old shtick over and over and over, while maybe unveiling 2 or 3 songs off his latest album. It's very boring and diappointing after you've spent $20 for the 10th time hoping to see something new and original from someone that you just KNOW has the God given ability to knock the living socks off everyone whenever he touches a guitar or comes within miles of a microphone. I hope this doesn't make anyone mad...just my opinion. Like I said, this recording is different.
