“East-West” - Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Fillmore Auditorium, October 14, 1966
That Michael Bloomfield/Dylan guest spot I posted a few weeks ago got me digging back into Bloomfield’s oeuvre, which naturally sent me to “East-West,” that incredible jam from his days with the Butterfield Blues Band. Unbelievable stuff — not sure if anyone else in the world could do what Michael was doing on guitar at that point? Just a perfect mix of guts, tone, technique and adventurousness. This version, taped towards the end of his Butterfield tenure cuts off around the 15-minute mark. Not sure how long the original performance was — maybe they’re still playing it?
