Summary: I felt like I was there. I could almost smell the cigarettes
Comment: Has become one of my all time favorite live performances. The guitar work is amazing, his vocals are very strong. From reading the liner notes, this concert used new recording techniques to capture the quality and the energy of the performance. And In my opinion they achieved it well beyond expectations. The sonic qualities rival many of my studio recordings. A must for any true chicago blues fan.
Customer Rating:
Summary: WOW!
Comment: get this disc, listen to this disc, and your thoughts will be "wow!" "man!" and you will be telling people, "you have got to listen to this". otis is a guitar playing wizard. this recording leaves you wanting more, much more. and in track 10, the word is not bah-gum, but it is ball game. get it and don't question that decision.

Summary: This Is The Blues !
Comment: I grew up in the 60's and most of my exposure to the blues was the kind you got from John Mayall and Johnny Winter. Listen to Otis Rush and you hear the sound they were trying to copy but never did. In my opinion this is Otis's best live recording. This is his Cold Day in Hell backup band and they let Otis play while complementing his sound. I would pay anything to see a show like this live. Unlike the statement of another reviewer the sound is excellent. Peter Green and Eric Clapton have covered some of the songs Otis plays in this set and you can see why they admired his style. Otis is a lefty who doesn't restring his guitar that gets a unique sound out of basically playing upside down. He had a stroke a few years ago and regretfully will probably never play a guitar again. This CD is a worthwhile investment and I would say buy it before it goes out of print.

Summary: One cut alone is a must have...
Comment: "You're Breaking My Heart".
If you want a single cut to add to your collection of must-have, 5-star Chicago blues music this is one of them.
This is 8 minutes of live Chicago blues at a near psychotic nuclear meltdown intensity of lead guitar licks. The passion in the vocals must be witnessed to be believed.
Guitar players: You can hear so much Clapton in the lead solos it's not funny. Kinda like SR Vaughn vs. Albert King.
Awesome track. Up there with James Cotton's 'Sweet Sixteen' with Luther Tucker on guitar.
Wouldn't mind a vinyl release either...

Summary: Living Legend
Comment: For almost fifty years Otis Rush has been one of the most powerful singers and innovative guitarists we have ever had. But what is truly mystifying is that for most of this time--and this continues to this day--Otis has been an unsung hero of the blues. He is taken for granted.
At the beginning of HIS career, John Mayall did everything he could to spread the word about the greatness of Otis Rush. He recorded one of Otis' masterpieces, All Your Loving (I Miss Loving), on his legendary Clapton/Bluesbreakers LP. And Mayall is now called the "Grandfather of British Blues." So that gives you an idea of the stature and longevity of Otis Rush. Clapton and Vaughn and Cray and Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne and hundreds of others have gone on to great fame and success and riches, singing the music of Otis Rush and others. Ironic that the young followers got most of the props and recognition. But they are all very good musicians and it is not my intention to denigrate them; more power to them for keeping the blues alive! As technically proficient and talented as these guys are, at best they are only interpreters; at worst, imitators or even plagiarists.
Please, don't bother listening to them unless you have listened to the real thing first. This is the real thing: live electric blues wonderfully recorded at a small blues club, by one of the all-time greats, one of the innovators, one of the originals. Otis Rush is to Chicago blues as Robert Johnson and Son House were to country blues. Incredibly and fortunately, he is still with us, still vital, still performing.
There are only a handful of truly great original Chicago blues performers still around, and Otis, with Buddy Guy, is at the top of the list. I would not hesitate to call Otis THE greatest combination blues singer/guitarist ever.
How can someone this fabulous so be relatively unknown?

Editorial Reviews:

|
This CD, the only Otis Rush live in Chicago album, results from the fortunate conjunction of three significant forces in the 1970s Chicago blues scene: Otis Rush, the Wise Fools Pub, and the WXRT "Unconcert." Though I was on hand when the recordings were made and knew of course that the tapes existed, I had long given up hope that they would ever be issued. Their appearance now, some 30 years later, is cause for tremendous excitement among lovers of Chicago blues. Otis Rush is one of a handful of Chicago Blues artists who is both a fluent and innovative guitarist and a singer of tremendous range and power - the soul-baring singing and the long, sustained guitar lines tell you why you love the blues. -From the liner notes by Steve Tomashefsky.
