From Amazon.co.uk
The blues world lost a treasure when Luther Allison died in 1997, just as he was finally garnering the recognition he so richly deserved. If there's any question of that, this live album, recorded at the 1995 Chicago Blues Festival and at Buddy Guy's Legends, will dispel any such notion. A performer and songwriter of the first order, Allison had the sort of mastery of his instrument that comes from long experience; whether rolling off licks on the "Gambler's Blues/Sweet Little Angel" medley, or playing extended solos on "All the King's Horses", Allison's on the ball and in control at all times. This album contains mostly newer material previously recorded for Alligator Records, like "Soul Fixin' Man", "Bad Love", "All the King's Horses", and "What Have I Done Wrong?" Overall, this is an excellent memorial to a musician who should be remembered. --Genevieve Williams

Album Details
The first CD contains the complete set of his live-appearance at the 1995 Chicago Blues Festival, which was hyped up by the press as the hottest gig of the entire Festival, and celebrated by thousands of fans. Recorded by radio and broadcasted nationwide, this great moment of blues live performance has been documented for the posterity. The bonus track (Gamblers Blues/Sweet Angel) delivers the Jam Session with Otis Rush and Eddie C. Clearwater of the same evening. CD 2 contains a live appearance at Buddy Guy's Legend, Chicago's famous live club, recorded in September of the same year. "Live In Chicago" is the first document out of the archive of the Luther Allison Holding Co., which was founded by Luther and his longtime companion Carolyn Brown (Rocky) some days before he died.

カスタマーレビュー

壮絶な彼の遺作。
'70年代にパリに移住し何枚かのアルバムを発表して、アメリカよりもむしろヨ－ロッパで認められた感のある人だが、晩年は異常なくらいにギタ－が先鋭的になっていた。その円熟した姿で故郷のシカゴに凱旋を果たしたのである。音源は'95年のシカゴブル－ズフェス、バディガイズレジェンドでのものと、'97年のズ－バ－というライブハウスでの音源。特にブル－ズフェスでの演奏は壮絶そのもの。メドレ－ではO.Rush,Eddie C.Campbellも参加。完全燃焼のル－サ－を聴く事が出来る。本当に惜しい人を亡くしたものだ。
