    Re: Concert Vault Feedback

    The Vaulsters have finally put up a Paul Butterfield Blues Band show from 1966.  These tapes reveal what guitar players know and what many blues and rock fans know -- that Mike Bloomfield was incredible.  Of course, Butterfield was a king too with his powerful harp playing and stylistic vocals.  This is THE band that inspired a ton of young guys to put together a blues or rock band.  People like Neal Schon and Robben Ford say it was the Butterfield Band that inspired them to play.  And "East-West" is clearly the most groundbreaking composition of it's day. IMO, it took something like "Voodoo Child" to surpass Bloomfield's genius of turning music upside down as we knew it.

     

    I think that one song is mis-labeled in the setlist.  "Never Say No" sung by the venerable Elvin Bishop is called "Harry's Blues" for some reason.  This tune is off the album "East-West."
