Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Three songs by Howlin' Wolf are the highlight of this second set of blues performances recorded in the 1960s, when an extraordinary lineup of musicians (among the 18 tracks here are tunes by Lightnin' Hopkins, Willie Dixon, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, and Big Mama Thornton) toured Europe, thrilling (among many others) the young Englishmen playing in bands like the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds. As with Volume 1, the monaural sound and black-and-white video are superb, making the release of the footage four decades later even more welcome. And Wolf? He was still in his prime in '64, perhaps equaled only by Muddy Waters (who appears on the first volume). "Did you ever been in the groove?" he asks at one point. "Well, I'm gonna put you way down in the woods." That he does, and blues fans will be only too happy to tag along. --Sam Graham
Description:
Reelin' In The Years Productions, in association with Experience Hendrix, bring you the American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966 Volumes One & Two. The AFBF was an annual event that featured the cream of American blues musicians barnstorming their way across western Europe every fall from 1962 through 1966. Recorded live in a small TV studio in Germany, these historic and unseen performances have been lost for nearly 40 years. Filmed with superb camera work and pristine sound, each DVD contains 18 complete performances from the greatest blues musicians of all time. Captured during their heyday in an era of scant video documentation, these DVDs are truly one of the most unique and precious visual documents of the blues.
The American Folk Blues Festivals featured a dazzling array of talent that included such greats as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker and Sonny Boy Williamson playing alongside other legends such as T-Bone Walker, Lightnin' Hopkins, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Memphis Slim and Big Mama Thornton to create the most significant group of blues artists ever assembled!

I'v been avoiding writing a review about these dvd's (American Folk & blues festival vol 1, Vol 2, vol 3,) for a while now, mainly because I get so emotional when I think about them. So I wont even try. But I will say this much....The ONLY place in the world where you can see the fabulous T-Bone Walker on dvd... is on these sets (he appears on all 3 volumes). And where else are you gonna see Lonnie Johnson, Shakey Horton, Junior Wells, Big Joe Williams, Willie Dixon, Otis Span, Sonny Boy Williamson, ... Read More

Worth having this film that was recorded live on the European tour. Far superior to volume 1, but not quite as good as volume 3.

These performances are great as well.The product quality is exceptional in every sense. Sonny-Boy had a bit too much whiskey that night( as he was sometimes prone to do), but Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny Terry/Brownie McGhee, Howling Wolf, and Magic Sam are sharp as razors! Please buy this collection, and treasure it. Those days, and heroes, are gone. Here, in this medium, they live on!

Excellent DVD great coverage of Blues artists performing in Europe in the 60's and msot of them in their prime. Very good camera work and sound.

The bonus section featuring Magic Sam is the most incredible piece of footage I've ever seen or heard. It's even better than his studio stuff and the audio quality is awesome (which can't always be said for his live records and bootlegs though the performances are still downright unbelievable). What can you say about Magic Sam to someone who has never heard him? For me, at least, it was like watching Robert Johnson perform. Magic Sam was the best to ever sing or play the electric blues and unfortunately ... Read More
