Albert was at his best live...This is awesome guitar playing and Albert's singing is awesome as well. One listen to this and one realizes that Albert King is truly THE master of the blues guitar. ALL songs are excellent! "Don't throw your love on me so strong" is the VERY BEST BLUES GUITAR PLAYING I've ever heard and that includes SRV, Hendrix and the rest of King's followers. He was the BEST!!! Thursday Night and Live Wire/Blues Power are also MUSTS!!!

Albert King recorded this CD on Wednesday June 26, 1968, one day prior to his more popular and better known release, "Thursday Night In San Francisco". This disc represents the first day that Albert performed at the Filmore as the headliner. Prior to that time, he had appeared as the opener for Jimi Hendrix and John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. Albert's "best" performance that evening, as well as the next day, (according to Stax anyway) was originally released by Stax on the "Live Wire/Blues Power" CD. The songs contained on both, the Wednesday and the Thursday CD were thought to be a cut below and were not included. Fortunately for us, Stax took another look at the material, albeit 22 years later, and released the remainder of the material as it occurred on two separate discs. In order to gain a full understanding as to what occurred on those two nights, King fans should purchase all three of these excellent recordings. As with the other two discs, King's performance is outstanding.

Blues album are best when they recorded live. It gives the musicians a chance to work on the different instruments and not try to focus on the 3 1/2 minute. The playing is outstanding as is the sound quality. Albert King along with Peter Green are by far my top favorite pure blues guitarist. This album is not as good as the Thursday night, simply based on the fact that Thursday had Stormy Monday. The pair together makes a great 2 CD set for a live performance of one of the greats.

Essential for any blues collection. Well mixed, the great Albert King swings and jams through some great material in this companion set to the Thursday Night In San Francisco that is equally fulfilling. Whoooooooooo!!!!
