I was ten year's old, I useto lived far down the street
from it. I did not know that they the whole documentry.
That was probably, 1972, or 1973, at the time. And,
that was long before 1992 riot came alone. Do you
remember the good old days? dsoblue!

So cool to see Mr. Albert King full of energy. He is the only act i've seen out of this lineup. It was the best live concert I ever attended by a longshot. He came to Fargo, ND in '01.
5000 white people, maybe a dozen black people, and he played so earnest and heartfelt, like he was sitting in a jukejoint filled with close friends, deep in the bayou
