On May 5, 1977 John Lee Hooker and his band were recorded at the Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club in Montreal, Quebec, Black Night Is Falling finds the King Of The Boogie in excellent voice and backed by a powerful band composed of John Garcia on guitar, Steve Jones on bass, and Larry “Wild Man” Martin on drums, with the end result being an outstanding example of live Hooker at his best. Highlights include impressive romps through two of Hooker’s signature tunes, “Boom Boom,” which simply blazes with raw energy here, and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” which is delivered as a brilliantly paced barroom cautionary tale. This is what live Hooker sounded like with a sympathetic band behind him, a band that luckily wasn’t afraid to push him a little.

thnks for this and all the others off course!!
Thanks BT. I was there. We went for a drink at the bar next door 'cause the band was late, and the band and John Lee walked into the bar and bought us another round ,invited us to join them for a loosener up round or two, as he called it, and then we all walked next door and they walked right up on stage and started playing. 2 hours late. a pretty good night...
Thanks for this BT. I think I've got about 55 million albums by JLH but didn't have this particular one so nice to get a copy.
@happymonk, great story, it's always good when you get a chance to socialize with the bluesmen/musicians.
TYVM Bluestender. Good one to listen to.
