    I am indeed blessed. I'm a Brit Blues man transplanted in Sacramento CA for the past 7 years or so. Capitol Radio is the local NPR radio station and Saturday afternoon belongs to Mick Martins Blues Party which has been going strong for over 25 years. 4 hours of top quality blues, accompanying stories and a show dedicated to keeping the Blues alive in it's myriad forms. Mike Bloomfield In his various incarnations ia frequent feature. Can't recommend the show highly enough for any Blues afficianado. I've lived here for 35 years and it's the best blues show I've ever heard.

    He was a superb player with an amazing tone and great licks. More than others, he showed us how a Les Paul should sound. I've got nothing but the greatest respect for him. He's in my personal pantheon of guitar gods, along with Hendrix. Clapton, Duane Allman, Peter Green and a few others.

    Mike Bloomfield continues to entrance me every time I hear him play. I never saw him in person. I'm an amateur drummer , not a guitar player. I was lucky to live in SF from 05 to 10, and I played with a bassist who once hung with Bloomfield. I can't talk about tone or phrasing like a guitarist can. Bloomfield was a seeker, a lover of the music, and he cut his teeth on the South Side with Muddy, the Wolf and Spann. He will never be forgotten. He moves me todo los dias.

    Bob Dylan said he's the best guitar player he ever heard. "Only the good die young" dates back to Greece, circa 445 BC, and was a hit song for Billy Joel but rings so true when looking at guitar players. Bloomfield, Hendrix, Duane Allman, Randy Rhoades, Hillel Slovak, Jeff Buckley, Brian Jones, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Danny Gatton all left us too soon. But Jimi is jamming with some serious talent in the next life.

      Michael used 13 gauge strings. That and Twin Reverb with JBL speakers. Its not possible to get that sound from any modern Gibson Les Pauls, because they are nothing like the original Les Pauls. His riffs are very simple and can be learned with practice. In fact, he is a good artist to learn from because his note choices are simple and predictable. He learned from the black blues Masters, all the really good white blues players did the same thing.

    I picked up this album second-hand in '72, and this track in particular blew me away completely. Mike's blues tone was, and still is, unsurpassed by any of the greats .. and that's saying something. But what makes this track such a gem is the way it builds at the beginning and grabs you by the throat until it finally lets go at 8.45. Then Mike smooths everything out with some of the sweetest, most sensitive and tasty choruses humanly possible, before finally handing back to NG for the vocal finale. I've heard lots of Mike's stuff, and this is without a doubt the very best. Absolutely sublime throughout. So sad he had to leave us when he did.

      He was his own worst enemy. Paul Butterfiled and Bloomfield had the greatest combi-

      due to their own demons. Such a shame.

      What did you expect them to die from? Hoping and feeling too much? They internalized the pain of the "underclass" beginning with field hollers of masters and slaves. Jews wear their pain on the inside while Aframs wear it on the outside. Guilt??? White Man's burden? "You are a better man than I, Gunga Din". Let's get real!!

    I bought this album, when it first came out at a Tower record store in San Francisco. When I got home, and played it, there was no doubt that this was Bloomfield at his finest.. I love that they kept in the fall start on It Takes Time. The band missed the downbeat. Many of the cuts can also be found on Nick Gravenites album, My Labors.

      Plus, this reissue was good but the Japanese mini LP sleeve versions has the full versions of all of this (with the false start on "It Takes Time") as well as more of the banter between tunes from the musicians. And extra tracks. Same goes for the Nick Gravenites "My Labors" - extra tracks, mini LP sleeve. It's weird, I must have bought this record half a dozen times now but I keep looking for more material from that magic night - they were ALL firing on all cylinders that evening.

      Bloomers was the best. Listen to allof his stuff and he could do what anyone else could but he was a gentleman and never sought to upstage or get the better of anyone else. an all found good person

      Today's players are generally frightened of that upper mid lower treble howl that Bloomfield and a few others used to devastating effect. I love it myself.

    I saw him play several times at Fillmore West with Paul Butterfield in the late 60's. To get another fix on Mike, you could try listening to his soundtrack of The Trip which he played with his band The Electric Flag. It's outstanding and gives you an idea of a much larger range of guitar playing and style than you typically hear from him.
