Widely held to be the greatest live blues album, capturing King's call-and-response mastery and impeccable phrasing. Joyful and electric. A blues essential. Released in 1965, it set the tone for everything that followed.
On vinyl: Originals are widely faked and graded inconsistently — stick with a trusted reissue.
