Live in Long Beach 1997

This was the 2nd or 3rd of these blues unplugged shows put on by KLON (now KJAZZ) radio. It's bare bones, but something you will not hear anywhere else. This Live In Long Beach 1997, annual 'get-togethers' on the campus of Cal State University Long Beach continuously scheduled musicians who had not performed together before and threw them together for a Unplugged night of blues. On this 1997 show in Long Beach, Dave Alvin played a solo set of 6 songs paying homage to 'Big Joe Turner. Eventually, playing a duet with Alvin is harp and songwriter Billy Boy Arnold performing Billy Boy's own I Wish You Would originally done in 1955. Gatemouth Brown comes out for 5 songs playing his fiddle and challenging the crowd, it seems, with country, polka, and a cajun tune
