J-Card Comment JAMES COTTON & CHICAGO SLIM w/MIKE BLOOMFIELD BAND
-1971-04-08-Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, CA---Superb Aud-
plus Superb sbd filler from M. Bloomfield & Friends Seattle, Eagles Auditorium 2/27/70!!

Friends, here´s a superp recorded, fine uptempo Blues show, by Chicago "Lightnin´" Slim & James Cotton,
backed by the complete Mike Bloomfield Band, opening for John Mayall!
This could be a kind of additional support for James Cotton, after Mike Bloomfield played on
the 1970 James Cotton, Capitol Records Lp "Taking care of Business", on 2 tracks.
This show was billed originally as "Mike Bloomfield & Friends with Chicago Slim"(poster scan incl, in torrent)

This is another superp Audience recording by Harry Kraslow,
which easily everybody in the 80´s would have traded as a sbd recording!

As a nice Filler for this Blues show , Pat sent me a encore of
