Though almost always well intentioned, events like this usually don't pan 
out on record let alone DVD. Usually. Thankfully, this is not one of those 
occasions. John Mayall in his 70th birth concert is as spry, ferocious, and 
on his game as ever. There is nothing tired about the presentation or the 
performances. Mayall's own umpteenth version of the Bluesbreakers is yet 
another example of his uncanny ability to pick the right cats for the job. 
They play with plenty of fire, brilliant musicianship and taste. There are 
two discs in this package encompassing 19 cuts. The show broke down as 
follows: The band play two burning tracks on their own -Grits Ain't 
Groceries" and "Jacksboro Highway," -before Mayall joins them for three 
including a stunning rendition of "Dirty Water." Mayall then invites Mick 
Taylor to the stage for no less than four cuts-two of which are "Blues For 
The Lost Days," and "Oh Pretty Woman." But it gets better. Eric Clapton and 
Chris Barber joining the Bluesbreakers for seven cuts- "Hideway" (what 
else?) and a beautiful duet performance of "No Big Hurry" between Eric and 
John. Both Clapton and Taylor are in hungry fine form and hold nothing back. 
The last finale features Taylor and Clapton and is a guitar orgy as one 
would expect. What it all adds up to, however, is a stinging, overdriven 
performance of modern electric blues by a master bandleader who shows no 
signs of slowing down physically, and most importantly creatively. Highly 
recommended. Thom Jurek

The one question I would ask about the concert, is no. 1, the cd is the full 
concert I presume? and no. 2, does Eric sing at all on any of the songs?
thanks
