Showing its age and quality
The first Paul Butterfield Blues Band album and Hard Road by John Mayall started me on a course of loving the blues. The Butterfield East-West album was memorable particularly for the best Michael Bloomfield track ever "I've got a mind to give up living" and for "Work Song" and "East-West". After...

Use your own ears
The previous reviews cover a lot of ground, and show how individual Butterfield / Bloomfield fans might hear East-West Live in an entirely different way. My two cents: if poor recording technology interferes with your enjoyment of music, don't bother, but if it doesn't, and you love electric...

If you love Bloomfield...
The previous reviews seem to divide on the issue of sound quality. So let me say that, especially on the first track, the sound quality is about third-rate. But the music itself--first-rate. For someone like myself who has spent a good amount of time listening to music from 78 RPM records (Robert...

Bloomfield's Baby=GENIUS!!!
If you're like me and dig jam-oriented music, then get this disc. The studio version of this song is mind-blowing, but when they played it live, it turned into a whole new monster. These live cuts are on par with the likes of Cream, John Coltrane(sorry guys, he's still gotcha beat on time!), and...

Groundbreaking historical performances
When I left the Beatles and Beach Boys for other forms of rock and roll, I found the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and East-West. This album was SO good that my mother even let me play it a high volume and eventually drove me to the Fillmore to see the band when I was in 9th grade. Unfortuntely,...

Great CD, with a few problems
For any fan of the PBBB or of jams, this is great find. The sound quality isn't great, but what do you expect given how it was recorded. This CD gives the listener a rich variety of styles on this jam, with the real feeling that is lost in the studio. This is a great album for anyone who loves jams.

an absolute masterpiece
the importance of the butterfield blues band was among other things, the introduction to the world, and some of the supreme recorded moments of mike bloomfield, one of the finest guitarist to grace this planet in his short existence. butterfield's first album, though very good, had nothing to...

Very strange concept
This is a CD I heve very mixed feelings about. If this and Strawberry Jam, considering their low sound quality & low production values, had been offered as a less than full price CD, like the Velvet Underground did with Live at Max's Kansas City, they would be great. You can fool around with the...

Interesting CD! Sound quality poor, but music worth hearing
About the comments on sound quality for this CD: ITS BAD, but nothing like Epitaph, Vol. 1-2 [LIVE] by King Crimson- now that is a HORRIBLE live recording. If you can be a little forgiving of the overall sound and realize that it is extremely lucky any of these live shows were preserved for...

A RARE, RARE DOCUMENT OF A GREAT SONG
Sure the sound quality is not the greatest. OK, I admit it. Recorded on portable tape recorders in 1966-67.........what would you expect? But if you can get past that, this is a great, rare chance to hear how East/West developed onstage - three great versions taped by a band member over about a...
