The Paul Butterfield Blues Band is known as one of the few original Chicago Blues followers. In 1965 and 1966 they made their legendary albums with the original line-up: the self-titled Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the Indian influenced East-West. Among others they played at the Monterey International Pop Festival 1967, too.

Two years later much has changed for them. The original members (except the founder, Paul Butterfield himself) have left the band. They added a horn section but the albums didn't get better. The Woodstock gig seems like the last great struggle of the band.

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band played in the morning hours of Monday, the 18th. The starting time is supposed to be 6.00 am.

[edit] Details

By the time of Woodstock the Paul Butterfield Blues Band has abandoned its roots of Chicago Blues. The horn section adds a big band touch to the music which reminds of Blood, Sweat & Tears at times. Only the slow number "Driftin' and Driftin'" shows the virtue of Paul Butterfield's harmonica playing.

[edit] Availability

Available songs are scattered over several official releases. "Born Under A Bad Sign" is not available at all.
