About this album
The Live Adventures Of Mike Bloomfield And Al Kooper is a fiery live blues-rock landmark that turns loose performance into the point. Recorded in 1968 and released in 1969, the album captures the pair with a sharp backing band in extended, spontaneous readings of blues, R&B and rock material. Bloomfield’s guitar and Kooper’s organ and piano drive the set through songs such as “The 59th Street Bridge Song”, “The Weight” and “Dear Mr. Fantasy”, giving familiar material a gritty, in-the-moment urgency. Long admired for its musicianship and feel, it stands as one of the defining documents of the West Coast blues-rock era.
