For those who like something a little more traditional sounding than Nels Cline, here is a great show from The John Scofield Trio. John Scofield has recorded with Jack DeJohnette, Miles Davis, Billy Cobham, Gary Burton, Medeski Martin & Wood, and many others. He also has a few different Jazz bands including John Scofield's Ubber Jam band which does very well at the Jam Band Festivals bringing Jazz to fans of Spin Doctors, and Widespread Panic .

This is a challenging listen, at times harsh and at times almost tranquil this hour long improvisation my be a little too much for some Jazz fans. Fans of Experimental Music such as Earth, Boris, SunnO)), Orthodox, King Crimson, Lou Ree'd Metal Machine Trio and Experimental Jazz artists such as Nils Petter Molvær & Dave Douglas, will love this. I downloaded this and today's other featured Sunday Morning Jazz offering from The Live Jazz Lounge. A great site for unofficial Jazz recordings.

Great show from early in The Jeff Healey Band's career. Lots of cool covers in this set. Bob Dylan, Cream, The Doors, Blind Faith, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, Leadbelly and John Hiatt are all covered for this concert. While John Hiatt's "Confidence Man" and ZZ Top's "Blue Jean Blues" were both on Jeff's debut album, and The Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" was on the Roadhouse Soundtrack, I don't think he ever recorded the rest of the songs covered here.

Digitized from an original radio broadcast 2 CD set By Draftervoi.

Draftervoi's original notes:
Live From The House of Blues Presented By Pontiac Sunfire was a syndicated radio show distributed on two cds, with a concert recorded at a House of Blues club (at the time, in Los Angeles, New Orleans, or Cambridge).  The live music was interspersed with national commercials, and the House of Blues was promoted by short comments from patrons.  The syndicated radio show premiered on January 27 and appears to have run for about a year.

Also in 1995, 26 live shows were television on TBS (Turner Broadcast System).
This Thorogood show was also on television, so there may have been overlap
between the television and radio shows.

The shows don't turn up very often, so it's likely the number of stations participating in the syndication was fairly low, compared to shows like King Biscuit Flower Hour.

This show was hosted by Pat St. John...who had previously hosted some of the "SuperGroups In Concert" shows in the early 1980s, and the "Live From Electric Ladyland" shows in the early 1990s.

Thorogood tears through a set of classic blues, and there's a "guest spot" by John Hammond on a cover of John Lee Hooker's "Father Was A Jockey" (mistitled as "Ride Till I Die" on the cue sheet).
I cut out the radio commercials but left in the (very short) promos for the House of Blues, and the disc jockey commentary and introductions.  FLAC files of wavs.  I've included scans of the cue sheets, CD discs, and an ad for the series from Billboard.
