All I can say about the negative reviews is peole are either too young to remember or they just don't know and they don't want to know. A very good album with some of the best rhythm and blues talent that ever walked the planet.

Loved the movie. One of the greatest comedy chase movie musicals of all time. But their music (at leat on this album) really isn't blues, it's rhythm & blues, R&B. With the horns blaring, there's no room for real range with the guitars despite having Steve Cropper on board with his Booker-T partner Donald Dunn on bass. It's too cheerful to be buesy. There's no longing. No despair. And little feeling. I'd stick with the movie. The jovial upbeat soundtrack fits that better than this album fits the blues.

I’ve listened to this over, and over, and over and it is just and incredible album

This isn't the soundtrack but equally good. Classsic blues music . People who are learning the blues learn from this type of music

I remember listening to this a lot when I was younger. Great stuff.

This live album turns out to be The Blues Brothers at there best. Even tho, this was suppoe to be a joke when they debut it on Saturday Night Live and it pushed Dan Akroyd and Jokhn Belushi into Super Stardom. All the songs on this album are great. It surly shows how much they love the blues by singing cover songs from the Blues Greats and the supportting band members are a jamming breed apart from everyone else. If John Belushi never died, who knows how high in the stratosphere they would climb?

Hey Bartender has been downloading to my IPad for 36 hours now and I cannot stop it. I can download songs around it, I just cannot stop the nonstop downloading. A POX on this site. Ken A.

This is album got me to start getting into the Blues and have been a huge blues fa never since

I hear a lot of noise and what sounds like good old-fashioned vinyl pops and clicks. Maybe it adds to the enjoyment, like a trip back to 1978 when this album was recorded, and times were oh-so-much simpler. Recorded live on September 9, 1978, at the Universal Amphitheater, Los Angeles, as the opening act for Steve Martin.

Love it
