Yes. Sterling and I were captured at work for 38 seconds in Rattle & Hum in the spring of 1987. (The movie was released in 1988.) At that point we were not yet known as Satan and Adam, but that's how we're known now. Please visit my website, Modern Blues Harmonica.
After listening to a few of the Satan & Adam tunes, I am thinking that Satan has given you a very special slant on the harmonica. His style goes beyond traditional blues into a funky thing that I have never heard anywhere else -- not on the harmonica anyway.
Loved it. I don't know how he can play the guitar stomp his feet on the cymbals and sing at the same time. Also loved your harp playing. Was the 10 hole blow bends the Magic Dick influence?
You both are very good at listening. I think that is the key, the magic here. That is why I think a DUO is the best possible assembly you can have. For me it represents freedom of aural visions. You really hit the nail on the head with the harp in this one.
you two are so dynamic on stage, youve got sterling, the funky blues master an eccentric spirit, then you have adam also an eccentric spirit but in the package of a clean cut white guy just rockin out like all hell.
adam, you are the one who make me interest in harp. As my english is not so good, i'm not gonna say too much here. All i want to say is 多謝!!! (i'm from hong kong and it means "thank you very much")
Whats with Satan and the helmet. I love you guys though and he can pull it off.

Thanks man, Do you play much in G thats all I have right now, and would you recommend a Hohner Marine Band Deluxe or a Suzuki Bluesmaster more.

So glad to find this. Satan and Adam are one of my favorite live music memories. Saw a show in Cleveland many years ago. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, we played several places in Cleveland, including Fatfish Blue.

You're right. His originality challenged me to be original, rather than trying to recycle a bunch of thirty-year-old Little Walter licks.

All I can hear is the harp, but my body wants to move with Mr. Satan's guitar. Wish I could have been there live!
