Yeah boy. Hot Stuff. I have one of the old LP's or cassettes..one or the other...can't remember. Lotsa good listening there.

...OOPS didn't see the link. Yeah, that's different stuff....Thanks for that.

Thanks for posting that link.
That guy has posted some cool board recordings, I've listened to many of them in the past.
Never heard these guys together live before, I just wish he could have posted who else was on stage. If it was all the same ones as on the studio album?

I loved Jernigan's solo rendition of "Streets of Laredo"-- Very cool!

Was Ellis Padgett the bass player in the band?

This is a great find. I have the vinyl double album - C Jam Blues is fantastic.
