This concert was filmed in The Netherlands, in 1988. Joe "Guitar" Hughes & his band, were from Houston, Texas. Joe died from a heart attack during 2003. This is a great, electric blues concert, however, it does not have a running time of 120 minutes, as described in the Amazon Product Description. I'm not sure of the offical running time, its not included in the dvd package, but I'd estimate it to be around 60 minutes, excluding the bonus material. If this concert was longer, I'd probably give it a 5 star rating.
Even though this is only a fairly short concert, it is excellent Texas Blues. Joe has a great backing band, some of the members even wear Cowboy Hats. Joe even wears a Cowboy hat at one point in the show, but he took it off because, he said it bothered him while performing. His band includes both Black & White members. Joe is an excellent blues guitarist & vocalist, plus he has another great guitarist backing him up, Michael Johnson.

9.I Wanna Boogie (written by Joe Hughes - this song includes some "samples" of ZZ Top's "La Grange", "haw, haw, haw, haw, to that Texas town…", it's a great song).
The bonus portion includes: Biography, Picture Gallery, and according to the information on the dvd package, it's suppose to have previews of other dvds, of lesser known blues musicians. However, when I choose this option, I only got one other preview. They call this line of lesser known blues artists the "Swingmaster Series".
