Worth the price just for the Sam Cook Medley at the end.

The guy who said Elvin couldn't sing doesn't have an appreciation for joyous noise delivered straight from the heart. I happen to love Elvin's gritty southern-style drawlin' 'n' twangin' vocals, but if that's not enough for you, Mickey Thomas is also here, as well as the obligatory black female background singers belting out the soulful "Yes Sir's" and "halleluja's" in fine fettle.This album, predominantly recorded in California theater style venues in '76, has it all in Elvin's inimitable style of country, boogie, blues, rock, gospel, and soul, all rolled into one, complete with bold brass, funky keyboards and superb slide and blistering lead guitar, all supported by a solid rhythm section.Included in the selections is a 6+ minute Muddy Water's blues tune, "Brown Bird," masterfully rendered, and a medley including the Sam Cooke blast from the past, "A Change is Gonna Come."This is a definite MUST for Elvin lovers, and for the uninitiated, this good time rock and soul live album rates with the best of them for pure pleasure and near perfect quality.5 Stars all the way!

I broke my own rule ! Yes I did it because I have seen Elvin Bishop back when I was still in my teens and I had a smile plastered on my face from EAR to EAR and I simply could not stop dancing that night. That man can sure play the Blues, he was on a billing with BB King in a Fieldhouse which meant that the sound was NOT the best but the place was wide open and a person could dance and play about for the whole show. Tickets back then were still cheap $5.00 could get you in to see someone like EB & BB King for the whole night. What fun we had and Elvin played just about everything he does on this disc with the exception of he played Boogie till the cows come home, which isn't on here...Too Bad, that is a heck of a tune. So if you want to ask me why I broke my rule I will simply say THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES...If you have never seen Elvin Bishop well buy this disc anyway that and a 5th of whiskey will make up a poor second....Spigomars

I first bought this on 8 track in 1978 when it came out. I saw Elvin in concert in 1980 and had a blast. He's a great guitar player and it's displayed throughout this album. Travelin' Shoes, Raisin' Hell, Sure Feels Good, and Struttin' My Stuff are the best songs on this CD. I'm so glad this is back in print on CD because haven't been able to find it for years.

This CD is a great study not only in Elvin Bishop's song library, but in the awesome sounds which characterized the halcyon days of the early 70's. Whether it be the gratuitous Moog solos on "Rock My Soul", or the "whacka whacka geetars" of "Stealin' Watermelons", these sounds will transport you into an LA club of the early '70s. I was particularly happy with the improvement in the quality of the horn section (F.Y.I- sitting in from Tower of Power...) which were tinny on vinyl.

I saw Elvin on BBC4 on their 2012 Southern Rock documentary & was taken by his lively style & excellent musicianship & never having really considered Southern Rock as a genre took to it immediatley & wanted to know more, so bought this & for a live album it is very well engineered & you get a good feel for him as a live act. This is a 1977 recording & it is still fresh & if you want a good intro to him as an artist - buy this. He must be good he's still going strong in 2013!!!

Elvin Bishop en concert, c'est de l'énergie,du rock, du blues et du rythm'n blues aux taquets. Inutile de répéter qu'Elvin Bishop est un guitariste excellent et inventif. Accompagné par de fameux musiciens, ça envoie du bois. Perso, j'aime ce que fait Bishop même si, il faut le reconnaître, il y a eu de tout dans la carrière du bonhomme qui a commencé, je le rappelle, à la fin des 60's Ce type a donc eu le temps de ratisser large. Pourtant il y a toujours ce son blues chicagoan qui est unique et qui oblige à taper du pied.Inutile de se compliquer la vie: Elvin Bishop et ses musiciens sont là pour nous faire rigoler et pour nous donner du fun!

Sans doute par souci d'économie, les éditeurs de musique nous infligent des "boîtiers Digipack" ou même de qualité inférieure qui ne valorisent nullement le produit et n'incitent pas à l'achat. Quand une branche d'activité est en déclin il n'est nul besoin de "tirer sur l'ambulance" pour tenterd'améliorer la performance, et c'est pourtant ce qu'ils font tout en continuant à se plaindre de leur propre déclin, ce sont des pompiers-pyromanes!Ce CD en est l'illustration et c'est fort dommage.Amazon devrait préciser le type d'emballage afin que le client ne se fasse pas abuser et améliore ainsi son offre, d'avance, merci.
