Thanks for the link . It looks like the options for buying are for albums and mp3( whatever that is )

So it looks like there is no cd version, but the good news is Amazon will allow me to listen to the entire album on their website :cool:

They're one of those groups that, when you check out their history, are not only amazingly good, but legends of the genre.

Fwiw, here's a Tex Mex equivalent.

I have their Live From the Limo cd which was recorded in Austin,Tx back in 1998.

That song got my heart started this morning 🥳

Please indulge me...

So I have been running errands and listening to my "old school" CDs. Jazz/Blues Fusion popped in and I thought I would share. Us older folks remember John Mayall who had a band that included Eric Clapton back in the day.

I am a blues and jazz fan so Jazz /Blues Fusion is my absolute CD favorite of my 1200 CD collection.
Every song is so so good !

I had the opportunity to see John Mayall at the Art Center several years ago and get him to autograph my Jazz/Fusion CD

Anyway here is a sample of this great CD and hope it may even appeal to our young whippersnappers ;)

I got the chance to see John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers in Nashville in 1994 - opening act was Keb Mo’. Great concert. Free. On the riverbank.

There's something special about free concerts. Most of my favorite concert memories involve "free" concerts (one way or another)
  • In school, Stevie Ray Vaughn was playing Memorial Hall, but alas I was in old East Studying. His first power chord blew the power in all the surrounding buildings, including Old East. So i went over the check it out, the concert was delayed a couple of hours and a couple who had somewhere else to be were walking out and offered me a ticket stub so got to go in and see that concert.
  • Also in memorial Hall, The Violent Femmes were playing I was broke and had no money. At intermission a bunch of folks walked outside to smoke, I just walked back in with the crowd and enjoyed the second set and encore, including a (possibly staged?) fistfight among the band members
  • Broke again, my brothers and I went over the endzone wall at Carter Finley, got chased by a bunch of ROTC (who were there to catch people who went over the wall), got away, and enjoyed a phenomenal Pink Floyd concert.
  • And more recently (this millennium), finally not broke, on a work trip I was jet lagged in a hotel in downtown Malmö Sweden trying to rest up and heard music in the main square, I wandered over, and I'll be damned if the Avett Brothers weren't doing free concert in the square.

I was in Nashville (Murfreesboro) from 95-2001. Those free concerts on the river were great. Saw lots of great shows. Not sure what year those stopped, but I don't think it happens anymore.

The Pink Floyd gig… was that “The Wall” tour?
That would be ironic… 😎
