The review

This recording is from Helsinki where the Wentus Blues Band celebrated its first 20 years of activity, they played in fact 3 shows in Helsinki, from 14 to 16 September 2006, with lots of guests. The shows were filmed by director Heikki Kossi for the upcoming documentary Family Meeting which cane out on DVD; in the audio release of Family Meeting (Ruf Records 1134) from 2007 Mick Taylor plays on 2 tracks that were not from the 15 or 16th September so they have to come from the 14 September): Blind Willie McTell and Ventilator Blues; there is also one song from 16 September Can’t You Hear Me Knocking plus tracks from 15 September show (4 tracks). For Blind Willie McTell it was added a 2nd version coming from a private film with a better spectrum.

To complete the disc some sequences coming from the video rip and for which the exact dates are unidentified have been added: a shortened rehearsal version of Blind Willie McTell (note some crowd noises were added but the film shows an empty theatre) and two little sketches from backstage that are the first 3 tracks here.
