The Blasters - two old long gigs

[Kari Salonen]

On a personal note: The Blasters were instrumental in getting me and my wife together back in the day. And now I found a long live video from the same tour, 1991. Gee, shucks!

Another lo-fi goodie, from 1982: a TV special with Carl Perkins and Willie Dixon:

Why them all of a sudden? I have been enjoying the latest Phil & Dave Alvin album quite a lot these past a couple of days. And I have been checking for info on that tour every now and then. It turned out somebody uploaded that first clip only recently. A nice find.
