If you're into the blues....AT ALL....you MUST buy this tape. Video is excellent, and audio is good too. I don't think The Beat TV show sound engineers were the best, but you can still hear everything. There are a couple of tunes at the end of the tape that were recorded at a concert in Europe a few years after The Beat sessions. HOLY COW! Those are the crown jewels of this tape. Makes me wonder why Freddie isn't more famous. To listen to Freddie is to love his musical ability, and to WATCH him is quite rewarding. We miss you Freddie.
