Post Description

Etta James, Dr. John and Allen Toussaint - 1982 - WTTW Studios Chicago, IL



Ondanks dat dit een videobandtransfer is, zeer de moeite waard vanwege zn documentswaarde, beeld is gezien de leeftijd van de band verrassend goed, geluid is prima. Gedenkwaardige uitvoering van I'd Rather Go Blind.


Have fun with it.
