The Blues Band – Bye Bye Blues - The Blues Band Live (1983)
The Venue fue una de las salas de conciertos más famosas del sur de Londres. Inaugurada en 1989, permaneció activa hasta 2020. Nuestros protagonistas de hoy pasaron por su escenario para cerrar una de sus etapas. The Blues Band comenzó su andadura en 1979 de la mano de Paul Jones (vocalista y armonicista) y Tom McGuinness (guitarrista), antiguos miembros de la banda Manfred Mann. Posteriormente se incorporaron el bajista Gary Fletcher, el guitarrista de slide Dave Kelly (quien había tocado con Howlin' Wolf y John Lee Hooker) y el baterista Hughie Flint (John Mayall's Blues Breakers).

The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
