What it must have been like to see Magic Sam live. The energy heard in the studio is also heard on each of his live sessions. During the first set, Sam covers familiar tunes of the time, with the crowd frequently singing along. The set at Ann Arbor takes place only four months before Sam's untimely death. Includes a nice 16-page booklet.
