Wonderful stuff! Thanks for posting it, it brings back a lot of great memories.
This video had to have been shot c. 1980 or so, and it looks like the band backing Carey is Aron Burton on bass, Illinois Slim on guitar, and although he's not shown except for a brief glimpse of his arm, I think it's Steve Cushing on drums.
The guy in the audience Carey is playing to when he steps down off the stage is former Howling Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin.

It's totally insane that I can see this. I used to hang at B.L.U.E.S so heavy back then. I used to live around the corner and blues was my thang!

Thanks for picking up on Hubert. For me, the best part is watching Carey talking and Hubert listening. Big Walter was great for that too.
