    Re: I'd like to see some shows by the late great Paul Butterfield Blues Band, my favorite of all time

    Since the Butterfield Band was part of the musical dna of the time ('65-'67 and into the '70's) the scene (Filmore et al) and a vital connection with past (Muddy, W. Dixon, W. Jacobs) masters and the outpouring of the likes of The Electric Flag, Janis Joplin, The Loading Zone, and many others, then the vaults must be holding Butterfield shows that need to be available for fans and for American musical history. The '65 P Butterfield B B album cuts raw and authentic from the opening Born in Chicago to the closing Yonders Wall, with not one mistep. The followup, East West takes it up a notch to blazing and throws in the extended play and improv of Work Song and the expansive and psychedelic East West. Especially influential is the later use of horns by Butterfield and by Mike Bloomfield. Bring out the shows!
