legends.

Great to see these legends in their prime. The English audience is more lively than the German one. March 7, 2008

Vol. 4 -

Can't wait for the arrival of V 4 of this series. V1-3 are must haves for any serious students of American Blues. The DVD captures performances of some of the the greatest - Bluesmen/women - America has ever produced.

As iternated in the booklets of V. 1-3, many modern rockers/bluesmen - ie Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Robert Plant . . etc. say, these gaints were major influences on their careers.

Don't hesitate - - - order it !!!

Just as good as all the rest-And that's the best there is!

WOW! I don't know how much they found of this stuff, but I can't get enough! Fantastic footage of the legends in their 60's prime--Muddy, the Wolf, Lightnin', Sonny Boy, and all the rest, as always preserved in two more incredible hours of super clean B&W footage with beautifully preserved live audio. The railroad station show is weird, but I sure loved seeing Big Joe Turner accompanied by Otis Rush, and Willie Dixon backing nearly everyone on accoustic bass (as he did on most of the previous 3 vols.)Dig Sonny Boy's two tone suit, and the phenominal funk of Junior Wells, who kicks hell out of "What'd I Say" without even picking up his harp! Sugar Pie, a fish out of H2O, is the only weak link. Long live Reelin' In The Years and the Hendrix family! December 24, 2007
