On June 18, 1982, a concert by John Mayall's Original Bluesbreakers at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic turned into what was probably the most star-studded blues jam the Garden State ever has scene. The core band for this show was Mayall on keyboards, guitar, harmonica and vocals, former Rolling Stone member Mick Taylor on guitar and Fleetwood Mac co-founder John McVie on bass (both had played in early versions of Mayall's Bluesbreakers band), plus Colin Allen on drums. But a lot of guests showed up at this show, and for the epic encore version of the blues standard "C.C. Rider, " below, the core quartet was joined by Albert King, Etta James, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Sippie Wallace and Hubert Sumlin. This is the first set from that show pressed on 180 gram colored vinyl. John Mayall has just been announced as a 2024 Inductee to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. John receives the Musical Influence Award, along with Alexis Korner and Big Mama Thorton, both influential figures in his musical journey.
