Live electric blues albums

Mr Grieves · 01-16-2011, 11:04 AM

I'm a really big fan of electric blues artists like freddy king, magic sam, albert king etc. Anybody know any good live albums by these or any similar artists?

of course the classic: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King - In Session

Stevie Ray Vaughan-Live Alive

if you are looking for contemporary live Blues...

Joe Bonamassa-A New Day Yesterday-Live:

Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band-(there is a bootleg cd of this performance-original vocalist)

a lot of contemporary live albums seem to be bootlegs...but there are numerous videos on youtube of contemporary electric blues artists...

As you say, Love-song, there is just so much live electric blues to choose from.
You`ve set the bar pretty high with your clips: a phenomenal solo in the Bonamassa song, but I think my favourite was the Kenny Wayne Shepherd performance.

Another guy who shouldn`t be forgotten is Ronnie Earl, who does a lot of blues instrumentals. Here he is in Germany playing Blues for Westside , which also features on his album, Blues Guitar Virtuoso Live in Europe :

Listen to Eric Clapton's album; EC was here from 1975. In my opinion this is Clapton playing at his peak. Six tracks long, all taken from live sets (One with Steve Winwood) and **** hot! Have a listen.

One of my favorite live blues albums is Muddy Waters' At Newport 1960.

If you download/buy the cd this is what you'll hear (but better quality):

Thanks to my college mentor, I'm able to enjoy this kind of music. Beforehand, I was a stupid mainstream listener.

The aforementioned "At Newport 1960" by Muddy Waters, as well as "Fathers And Sons" and "Muddy 'Mississippi' Waters Live" (this one is my personal favourite of the three). "Live Wire/Blues Power" by Albert King is a great one, too. And definitely check out "Live At The Regal" and "Live At Cook County Jail" by B.B. King.
