Bloomfield was just unbelieveable at this point.

@Building529 Some say if it weren't for the British Invasion we'd all be playing like Mike Bloomfield

Wish ppl would mellow down easy these days!!!

Done at a slower tempo with more swing and less drive than the studio cut, which is one of the greatest tracks they ever put on record - Butter and Bloomfield lock in on the break there....

Paul did cover this on his debut album 'The Paul Butterfield Blues Band' a few months later but that studio version was nowhere as urgent or pacey as this. Record producer Paul Rothchild was keen on a debut album of live cuts and tried but failed. A mixture of studio cuts and stuff done at Newport might have been tried.

the harp riff is legendary, made me love the harp til these days.

[Mastas999]

Long and spontaneous solo by the faboulous Mike Bloomfield (only 22 years old was his age)
