Let's put it this way, if my house were on fire I would run back in to get this video. I already own it and I am ordering a back-up. I need to be able to watch this when I'm old and grey, in a nursing home.

This concert and mini bio video shows koko doing what she does best getting people fired up belting it out and tearing up the blues.Filmed in her hometown of Chicago with guests Buddy Guy and willie Dixon this is a testament to Koko Taylors gusty growl and passion for her music.All hail the queen!

The Queen reigns supreme in this heated romp recorded in a down home jook joint. Koko epitomizes the blues and brings it home to you so well, you almost feel like you were there. Her voice is on point from the first to last note. Grit, growl and earthshaking power is the only way to explain this phenomenon. Excellent video. I have friends that come by just to watch it. She tells her story with truth and holds no punches at some of the music industry's biggest names when speaking of the blues heritage. Guest appearances by blues legends Willie Dixon and Buddy Guy make this video a must have for your collection.
