The Shadows Of Knight Live 1966
Besides releasing two classic longplayers and many more singles (including the smash, Gloria), touring/behaving badly all across America and appearing on TV shows like Upbeat and Where The Action Is, the Shadows of Knight also ruled at suburban Chicagos hands-down hippest teen club, The Cellar. Over the decades, their Cellar performances have become the stuff of legend. Miraculously, two reels of tape of the Shadows of Knight live on stage at the Cellar (in 1966!) were eventually uncovered by Sundazed. As early as their Gloria album debut in spring 66, the Shadows of Knight had separated themselves from the garage band pack with a heavily Chicago Blues-based, wildly rocking repertoire. Their trademark sound is on full display in this attitude-drenched, anarchic live recording from late in that exalted year.For this expanded edition, the original sets and correct song sequence have been faithfully restored. And to top that, additional and until now completely unheard bonus material is rescued from those old reels. Specifically, added to an already scorching set are previously-unheard takes of Peepin and Hidin (sung by blues legend Joe Kelley), Willie Jean (with a vocal from drummer Tom Schiffour) and Any Way That You Want Me. Equally important, the packaging now equals the musical contents thanks to an all-new, eye grabbing sleeve highlighted by John Horas amazing original photography from 66. Unlike their comparatively harnessed studio recordings, the Shadows of Knight are presented here raw n alive, sloppy bordering on brilliant and with all the subtlety of a bulldozer. Would you want em any other way? Also available on compact disc!
