3.0 out of 5 stars
5 stars for the performance / 2 stars for poor sound quality, August 11, 2006
This review is from: Blues Forever (Audio CD)
While you'd never know it from the 60's era photo on the cover, these are live performances from the 1987 version of the Bluesbreakers, with Walter Trout and Coco Montoya featured on guitars. They and Mayall are in excellent form, however many of their solo's are mixed too low to really appreciate them. Joe Yuele's drums on "Room to Move" are mixed so loud you can't hear the vocal percussion that make the song such a concert favorite. Even more frustrating there is inserted silence between the tracks that interferes with the banter with the audience and song introductions. The continuity of the CD as a live set is lost. On the other hand, this was a wonderful version of the band so if the price is right and you can live with the poor production it could be a nice addition to your Mayall collection.
