Hi,
I learned more about tone variety and tone control from the number of times 
I saw him during the 70's than all the recordings I ever bought. However, on 
the Blues Brothers movie, from some inside info, that's him on the Maxwell 
Street scene there, but he was so badly drunk when it was filmed and played 
so below par for him that another player who was a disciple of him and Jerry 
Portnoy, the late Joe Berson, was actually overdubbed, and that's who is 
actually the playing you hear on the movie.
