Elvin Bishop: That's My Thing - Live In Concert

This Is A Wonderful Show! The Interview is also Fantastic!
Well I haven't done a review in a little while (since 2011), but this DVD is really fantastic! I saw Elvin many times in New York's Cafe Au Go Go, while growing up in NY, with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. He was the first white person I ever saw do the BB King trill! Elvin is an excellent entertainer and the actual set is diverse, interesting and contains some great standard Blues such as Muddy Water's "Little Brown Bird" and others. Bishop's band also includes Ed Earley, the once dancing trombone player, who is just fantastic, he toured with Albert King in Japan in the 1980s and also once played with Little Milton and others. He is a gem. The whole DVD is well produced, laid back and has a lot of diverse blues influences, including Delta and Piedmont Blues. Elvin and Bob Welsh handle the guitar section very well and the whole set is just delightful, you can also see that Elvin spent some time around the Allman Brothers! The production quality is great, but I still would have...

Excellent DVD
This is an excellent DVD. The production work is great. It is like being at the show. Elvin Bishop looked like he was having a great time, and the audience was too.

Perfect Production
I was at the recording and I also own a copy of this DVD. This is some the very best production work I have ever seen anywhere. My only issue is the order of the songs on the DVD are very different from the live show, so that makes it a little confusing for me. That should not be an issue for anyone else, because the camera work is outstanding! You will truly believe you are there live at the Club Fox when you watch this DVD!
