Magic Sam Live

Magic Sam Live is a live album by the American blues musician Magic Sam, recorded in Chicago in 1963/63 and at the first Ann Arbor Blues Festival in Michigan in 1969, that was released by the Delmark label in 1981.

[1][2][3][4] Allmusic reviewer Al Campbell stated "While the sound quality leaves something to be desired, fans of electric Chicago blues should hear Magic Sam Live.

Recorded at two separate locations ... this disc captures the raw energy not only of the musicians, but the crowds' tremendous response to them.

Ignore the rotten sound quality, this is raw blues power and provides a priceless document of Sam Maghett's vital showmanship".

[5] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said "The gig tapes ... are of indifferent quality but they can't mask the energy coming from the bandstand.
