It's one INCREDIBLE STORY. In Autumn 1983 Otis Clay was invited to this Tokyo university's school fes as the main act of a hall concert. At the same time this JP blues band Breakdown (Vo/Gt. Fusanosuke Kondo, who was pretty unknown to general public at the time) and friends were playing in a tiny makeshift tent live house. Breakdown asked Otis Clay if he could visit their tent and sing some for JP core blues fans, --- and Otis DID COME! What a lovely man. That's what this video is. My friend was there and told me about the experience with tears of joy :-)
Thank you I didnt forget...I toured on drums with Otis Clay to Canada in 88" performing shows with the Chicago Fire horn section and this is why I know how to play the Blues.
I love this guy.I have 2 albums made for only japanese market, Live(1978)and Live Again(1984), both simply sensationals.Thanks a lot for posting this video.
（ここにいた友人が感激中、Facebookから転載）『UA-camってすごい！！幻の映像が見つかりました。1983年11月5日に行われた 国立一橋大学の学園祭にオーティスクレイが呼ばれ、本堂でのコンサート前に、一橋大学のブルース好きの学生たちが企画して学園内に設置したテントに、その当時活躍していたブルースバンド(10バンドぐらいだったか）を呼んでオーティス・クレイをこの小屋に呼ぼうという企画のライブやったのです。結果オーティスが本当に来てくれ感動で涙がとまりませんでした。オーティスの横でギターを弾いているのはブレイクダウンの近藤房之助。』
