Description

The story of this vibrant night of Blues, filmed over a decade after the so-called "Blues Boom" in the UK stimulated a worldwide rediscovery of the roots of Rock 'N' Roll, is the story of John Mayall, the pioneer of British Blues, and roving global ambassador fro the genre. Memphis and Chicago Blues legends joined British Blues icon John Mayall and his Bluesbreakers on stage, one special night in June 1982 at New Jersey's Capitol Theater. The concert turned out to be a summit gathering of some of the greatest names in Blues music, when guitarists Albert King and Buddy Guy, harmonica player Junior Wells and singers Etta James and Sippie Wallace, all showed up to sit in with the band.

Musical history was written that night, when John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, featuring former Bluesbreaker and one-time Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, bassist John McVie (Bluesbreakers, Fleetwood Mac), and drummer Colin Allen (Bob Dylan, Solomon Burke), paid homage to, and played with these five immortals of the genre.
