this is  on a DVD called Gunsmoke


The DVD is called Gunsmoke Blues. There's a great story behind it. The film  
crew for the TV show "Gunsmoke" were all blues lovers and party animals. One  
weekend they loaded up all their gear into a van and drove to Seattle, WA for  
this blues show. They got permission to film it, and film it they did, with 
all  their expertise. What is wonderful is that the DVD includes the whole  
performance, no editing out of mistakes. It's great to see Big Mama give her  
rhythm section, what looks to be like a local pick up band, dirty looks when  
they miss cues, etc. This is how shows really are, not the sanitized versions  
that are put out after editing.
