Elvin Bishop "Struttin' My Stuff"


From Elvin Bishop's 1977 live record "Raisin' Hell", here is the favorite track of yours truly.  It's "Struttin' My Stuff" with Elvin Bishop and Mickey Thomas on vocals, Bishop and Johnny Vernazza on guitars, Melvin Seals on Hammond organ, Bill Slais on Hohner Clavinet, Michael "Fly" Brooks on bass, and Don Baldwin on drums.  Some of the horn parts for other songs were also played by Slais and by members of Tower of Power like the late, great Mic Gillette, and Stephen "Doc" Kupka.  But here, it's the guitars, the keys, and the vocalists that get top billing.  This performance, and the whole album, were recorded at Civic Theater in San Diego, California, in 1976.
