AFBF
series! They too would be gems I'm sure.

They are amazing. Some of the best blues footage out there, but
unfortunately they compiled the discs out of order and didn't show the
intros or other parts of the shows. There were some VHS copies circulating
on Ebay that had the complete shows, but the video quality was much worse.
The DVDs have much better quality, though. The Little Walter footage was
great, even given the limitations. There are some amazing DVDs out now for
blues harmonica lovers:
