Mike Bloomfield & Nick Gravenites – “Blues On The Westside” – Live
Blues On The Westside by Mike Bloomfield & Nick Gravenites.
HQ Bootleg recording! Live at the Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, February 8, 1969. Reportedly from Mark Naftalin’s personal soundboard tapes.
Absolutely stellar tone. His phrasing is basically perfect, and the lovely tone and melodic choice of notes are second to none. Absolutely wonderful live performance ever! Absolutely masterpiece. Great singing by Nick Gravenites as well.
Mike Bloomfield is one of the most underrated soulful and accomplished blues guitar players ever!
