Live in Chicago is a live album by the American blues musician Luther Allison, recorded in Chicago in 1995 and Nebraska in 1997 and released by the Alligator label in 1999.
[1][2] Allmusic reviewer Cub Koda stated "Pulled from performances at the Chicago Blues Festival, Buddy Guy's Legends club with a couple of strays recorded in Lincoln, NE, that were too good not to include, this two-disc set captures Allison at the absolute peak of his powers ... Luther simply played his heart and spirit out right to the end and these recordings spotlight it in a very fine manner.
[3] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said "the band is so well rehearsed that these versions of songs from the three previous Ruf/Alligator albums are easily the equal of the studio originals, apart from the longueurs of stage performance that don't translate to the living room.
Rock-blues bombast is also present but for the most part kept in check".
