Robert Cray and his band were the opening act. It was perhaps the worst- kept secret in Chicago that weekend that EC would be coming to jam with Buddy Guy during his final set at The Limelight, a nightclub on Chicago's north side, after the Rosemont show ended. The taper who recorded this actually bolted out of the Horizon and beat the traffic back to the city in order to set up and gain a good taping spot for the EC set (I considered posting his Horizon tape as well, but the sound is not nearly as good, I can't find the second encore, and there are already four soundboards in circulation from that week that have the same setlist). The recording, after some tweaking, is excellent. The jam session is very entertaining -- it's very much a Buddy Guy show in that he veered all over the map without a setlist or clueing his bandmates where he was headed -- and the lineup is truly amazing: Chicago blues legends Sunnyland Slim, James Cotton, and Sugar Blue took part in the jam in addition to Clapton, Cray, and of course the world-renowned blues drummer Phil Collins. Every time I listen to this I'm newly amused at the idea of Phil Collins backing this lineup on a bunch of blues songs he probably had never heard before, but he actually did a very credible job. I'm not sure whether both Sugar Blue and James Cotton were onstage through the whole set or if they rotated out between songs; I'm certain that Clapton, Cray, and Phil Collins played for the full hour. One additional note is that Clapton's and Cray's guitars are not as prominent in the mix as one would hope for. The overall mix is rougher than one would like (Buddy's vocal and guitar dominate everything else), but after all, it's a blues show in a nightclub and one can't have everything. * Conversion notes: I used Audigy for the following: (1) Reduce portions of low end slightly to eliminate distortion; (2) reduce 1 khz band to reduce echo; (3) increase 6 khz and 13 khz bands to emphasize guitar (particularly Clapton's); (4) increase 800 hz band slightly to offset midrange loss from #2 above. I also applied light dehissing/noise reduction and slightly increased stereo separation. There is still a little hiss; I was afraid to remove too much and dull the sound. | |||||
