Remember this is the birth of the hippy festival, look at the sartorial elegance, the expressions, the end of the beat generation and the start of another...
i never saw butterfield but i did get to see bloomfield in a free concert in golden gate park and elvin bishop in a free concert on the berkeley campus. great shows
The first time I saw Butterfield was in 1971, at the now defunct Sunset Series at The Common, which was a summer concert series that was held at the Boston Commons. Paul still had the big band version of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, just before he started Better Days and he was the opening act for BB King. ---------- Sincerely, Barbeque Bob Maglinte Boston, MA http://www.barbequebob.com CD available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bbmaglinte
@BarbQbob you have certainly been around-my best experiences in live blues was on vanderbilt campus in the early 80s seeing muddy waters and paul butterfield and the next year willie dixon and james cotton did go to helena in 93 all free concerts-proves the best things in life are free
The 1st time I saw Butter was in Burlington Vt. in 1965 when I was 15. He had Bloomfield, Bishop, Lay, Arnold, & Naftalin. That night was my inspiration. East West, The Work Song, Born in Chicago, Mogo, Sceamin. How could anyone reach those soulfull depths on a ten hole harmonica?
