One of the handful of bands responsible for bringing real American Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly roaring back into the spotlight during the 1980s, The Blasters are captured live on stage in 1986 with a storming performance packed with classics and raw energy. Their sound drew on Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly, Country and Rhythm & Blues, combining those great American musical traditions with the urgency and punch of a formidable live band.
This is The Blasters in full flight, tearing through a set that includes Rock And Roll Will Stand, Trouble Bound, Mystery Train, Jubilee Train and Somebody Done Hoodooed The Hoodoo Man before hitting a succession of their best-known numbers. I'm Shakin', Border Radio, Dark Night, American Music, Long White Cadillac and Marie Marie all feature, with Phil Alvin on guitar, vocals and harmonica, Dave Alvin on lead guitar, John Bazz on bass and Bill Bateman on drums.
17 live tracks recorded at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano in 1986, capturing The Blasters at full strength and doing exactly what they did best: taking the roots of American Rock 'n' Roll, Country and Rhythm & Blues and turning them into a powerful, hard-driving live show. With both Alvin brothers at the front of a superb four-piece line-up, this is a terrific document of one of the key American bands of the 1980s roots revival.
