American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966 - Volume One DVD

The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966 two DVD set contains nearly three hours of previously unseen performances filmed during the famed American Folk Blues Festival tours that were originally produced by Horst Lippmann & Fritz Rau. These two separate DVDs contain staggering performances by such blues legends as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, T-Bone Walker, Lightning Hopkins, Memphis Slim and many others. Filmed in a small TV studio in Germany during the Festival's tours of Europe, these tapes have been stored for nearly 40 years until rediscovered by Reelin’ In The Years Productions.

Rediscovered after 40 years in the vaults, these priceless recordings of legendary blues artists have been lovingly remastered for the DVD format. Between 1962 and 1966 huge tours were undertaken by the likes of Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Memphis Slim, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, and many others. A popular stop-gap on the tour was a small TV studio in Germany, where the acts would record their songs for posterity. It is from these shows that the recordings contained within are from. An amazing document of a historic time, rediscover these bluesmen in the flesh as they take to the stage in their prime.
