Eagle Rock Entertainment will take audiences back to the famed Montreux Jazz Festival again next month.
The company is scheduled to release John Lee Hooker Live at Montreux 1983 & 1990 on Nov. 6. The presentation will release on separate 2LP, digital video & digital audio platforms. The 1983 set features fan favorites, such as ‘Boogie Chillen,’ ‘Boom Boom,’ and ‘Worried Life Blues’ while his 1990 show featured ‘I’m In The Mood,’ ‘Baby Lee’ and ‘The Healer’ as well as another rendition of ‘Boom Boom’ and ‘Boogie Chillen.’
On a side note, Eagle Rock Entertainment’s recent live recording from The Rolling Stones, Steel Wheels Live also featured Hooker performing ‘Boogie Chillen’ alongside Mick Jagger and company. The recording is available now.
Hooker was joined by the Coast to Coast Band for each of the featured performances. The 1983 show saw the group’s performance of ‘Boogie Chillen’ expand to a 13-person jam session that featured performances from famed blues figures, such as guitarist Luther Allison and harmonica great Sugar Blue.
