Man that's great. About as busy as I've ever heard B play but excellent. What a band too. Nice seeing Levy on piano.

The cameraman must have been a guitarist. Great framing of the two players in the first half of the vid.

Looks like a Fender Twin that BB was playing through.

That will drive your band crazy, modulating 1/2 step down.

BB's vibrato was insane back then. Awesome stuff there.

I used to have the whole concert on VHS. They showed it on Swedish TV at the time B.B recieved the Polar Price.
He also did a fantastic concert at that same stage (30 years later). I'm very happy to have seen him play live.

B at, perhaps, the top of his game! I love his distorted archtop early fifties stuff, and the five-piece sixties band was stupendous (see the Rhino "Jazz Casual" release!), but B was killing it in the seventies. Also the concert footage from the Rumble in the Jungle event!
