Blues Legends - Junior Wells - Live At Nightstage


With special guest Buddy Guy!


"Do you really want to hear some blues that you don't hear much about anymore? Well, watch this shit!"

Live at Nightstage is a raw presentation of a raw musical form. There is no post-processing of the sound from the stage, and the video quality is rather poor by today's standards - but remember, this was 1986. 
The backing band kicks off the show with the rolling groove of (but unfortunately we are not told anywhere who these people are). Guy creeps onto stage for a straight-up slinky guitar solo in "Crazy About You" and his frenetic bursts of distorted lead guitar wander in and outside of the musical lines on "I Just Want to Make Love to You." You sometimes find yourself wondering if he'll ever get back - but he does, of course. Wells comes in with crystal harmonica arpeggios and a rumbling, growling vocal on "Everything's Gonna Be Alright." The two are together for the remainder of the disk, which includes "Tribute to Muddy Waters", "Trouble No More", "Little Walter's "Juke", "Sonny Boy Williamson's "My Younger Days", "Got My Mojo Workin'". They finish the Nightstage performance off with a tribute to James Brown on "Super Bad" and "I Got You (I Feel Good)." Special features include the additional performances of "Little By Little", and "Better Than I Love Myself" (which, for some reason, are separated out from the rest of Live at Nightstage) and Don Wilcock's backstage interview with Wells and Guy from March 11, 1989 at The Channel in Boston.
