Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0038153078126 Format: Live Label: Delmark Manufacturer: Delmark MPN: 781 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Delmark Release Date: November 22, 2005 Studio: Delmark Editorial Review: Album Description: This CD, the only Otis Rush live in Chicago album, results from the fortunate conjunction of three significant forces in the 1970s Chicago blues scene: Otis Rush, the Wise Fools Pub, and the WXRT "Unconcert." Though I was on hand when the recordings were made and knew of course that the tapes existed, I had long given up hope that they would ever be issued. Their appearance now, some 30 years later, is cause for tremendous excitement among lovers of Chicago blues. Otis Rush is one of a handful of Chicago Blues artists who is both a fluent and innovative guitarist and a singer of tremendous range and power - the soul-baring singing and the long, sustained guitar lines tell you why you love the blues. -From the liner notes by Steve Tomashefsky. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I felt like I was there. I could almost smell the cigarettesHas become one of my all time favorite live performances. The guitar work is amazing, his vocals are very strong. From reading the liner notes, this concert used new recording techniques to capture the quality and the energy of the performance. And In my opinion they achieved it well beyond expectations. The sonic qualities rival many of my studio recordings. A must for any true chicago blues fan. Rating: - WOW!get this disc, listen to this disc, and your thoughts will be "wow!" "man!" and you will be telling people, "you have got to listen to this". otis is a guitar playing wizard. this recording leaves you wanting more, much more. and in track 10, the word is not bah-gum, but it is ball game. get it and don't question that decision. Rating: - This Is The Blues !I grew up in the 60's and most of my exposure to the blues was the kind you got from John Mayall and Johnny Winter. Listen to Otis Rush and you hear the sound they were trying to copy but never did. In my opinion this is Otis's best live recording. This is his Cold Day in Hell backup band and they let Otis play while complementing his sound. I would pay anything to see a show like this live. Unlike the statement of another reviewer the sound is excellent. Peter Green and Eric Clapton have covered ... Read More Rating: - One cut alone is a must have..."You're Breaking My Heart". If you want a single cut to add to your collection of must-have, 5-star Chicago blues music this is one of them. This is 8 minutes of live Chicago blues at a near psychotic nuclear meltdown intensity of lead guitar licks. The passion in the vocals must be witnessed to be believed. Guitar players: You can hear so much Clapton in the lead solos it's not funny. Kinda like SR Vaughn vs. Albert King. Awesome track. Up there with ... Read More Rating: - Living LegendFor almost fifty years Otis Rush has been one of the most powerful singers and innovative guitarists we have ever had. But what is truly mystifying is that for most of this time--and this continues to this day--Otis has been an unsung hero of the blues. He is taken for granted. At the beginning of HIS career, John Mayall did everything he could to spread the word about the greatness of Otis Rush. He recorded one of Otis' masterpieces, All Your Loving (I Miss Loving), on his legendary Clapton/Bluesbreakers ... Read More |
