John Mayall: 70th Birthday Concert
Here's a two-hour, double-CD/single-DVD concert celebration of John Mayall's 70th birthday, recorded and filmed in Liverpool in July, 2003. Mayall and the Bluesbreakers are joined by guests Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, and Chris Barber, about whom Mayall graciously writes in the sleeve notes: "One other soloist came to mind as someone who I believed audiences would be thrilled to see and that was trombonist Chris Barber. I surmised that some of the younger generation of British blues lovers might not have been aware that Chris was one of the pioneers of the movement back in the Fifties when he brought over to England at his own expense some of the greatest American blues stars..."
