^ Billy's reference to being careful and that "it's only music" was directed at a good sized number of ... crowd surfing kids. Moshing at a Feat show, who'd a thunk it? The band was on!

I received my copies of these three shows around Labor Day and have only had the opportunity to listen to the July 16th show (I picked it first because I attended that show.) The band was in great form and DPK did an absolutely wonderful job capturing the set for posterity. Thanks Dave and thanks to the Mag 7.

By the way, 44 Blues with Ricky Brothers on harmonica absolutely rips. It could be, IMHO, the definitive 44 Blues.

Howdy TB. I had the opportunity to catch Chester Burnett doing 44 Blues and IMHO, it smokes anything that anyone else has ever (or will) attempt(ed), though Lowell came damned close.

Just something about the combo of Wolf and Sumlin gets it no end...

FWIW, that LF 7-16-04 is a soundboard take. Howard had a good mix for sure. I have an Aud pull of the same show but it requires a couple trips through the fluff cycle to remove some digi lint. In time it may surface...

I used too much starch and I think I'm calling my aud DOA. SBD is all I'll let out. 9-26-04

[threebeards]

I've been reading a book title "Escaping the Delta: Robert Johnson and the Invention of the Blues" and it has some pretty interesting history of the song, "44 Blues" along with the raft of imitators "32-20 Blues", etc. It was written by Elijah Wald and I highly recommend it. It amazes me when I make the connections between the really old blues artists of the '20s and '30s and their music and venues and the influence it has had on the music that has become an ingrained part of my life.

Now, tell me more about Chester.

TB

[DPK]

Lowell often dedicated Apolitical Blues to Chester AKA Howlin' Wolf...

[threebeards]

And for all the well deserved acclaim that Howlin' Wolf received it is amazing to realize that he was a relative late-comer to the blues scene.

Tim

[Little Feat]

Wolf got a relatively early start. In his youth he ran around with Sonny Boy (Rice Miller), Charley Patton, Willie Brown and Robert Johnson.

He was working in bands long before he got famous. If I remember correctly he was gigging in the early 40's with Son House. Later in the 40's he worked with Matt Guitar Murphy, James Cotton and some other guys I can't recall.

One of the best musical marriages of all time was the relationship between Wolf and Hubert Sumlin. They could just flat ass get it.

Chester was a crazy man and big. A certain unnamed drummer told me a story of Sumlin screwing up in a gig and it pissed of Wolf. He didn't say anything to Hubert at the time, but in those days they travelled to gigs in cars. On the way to the next gig, Wolf just kept burning and he eventually stopped the car. Sumlin knew what was up so he jumped out the car door and took off running through a cotton field.

Wolf chased him, caught him and beat him senseless. Knocked out most of his teeth, and they were friends. They played music togehter till Wolf died...

From my understanding, Wolf in his younger days was a very animated showman. He would lay on stage squirming with a broom between his legs during "Dust My Broom" and other antics such as that. When invited to play at the blues "revival" shows, Wolf, and other professional performers were urged to tone down the showmanship (and wear plain, non-flashy clothes), so as to give the crowd a sense of "authenticity." Apparently, it was believed by many that blues artists were just a bunch of country hicks, not professional, polished musicians. Man were they ever wrong.
