- A superb pressing of this Must Own Live Blues Album with Double Plus (A++) sound throughout – remarkably quiet vinyl too
- Accept no substitutes – no reissue of the album can ever give you the energy, size and you-are-there presence that’s on this disc
- Finding originals with sound this good and surfaces this quiet is quite a feat, but here is a knockout one
- 4 1/2 stars: “Live Wire / Blues Power is one of Albert King’s definitive albums. Recorded live at the Fillmore Auditorium in 1968, the guitarist is at the top of his form throughout the record — his solos are intense and piercing… he makes Herbie Hancock’s ‘Watermelon Man’ dirty and funky and wrings out all the emotion from ‘Blues at Sunrise.'”
This is one of the all time great live Blues albums. This Is Blues Power!
