The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966 two DVD set contains nearly three hours of previously unseen performances filmed during the famed American Folk Blues Festival tours that were originally produced by Horst Lippmann & Fritz Rau. These two separate DVDs contain staggering performances by such blues legends as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, T-Bone Walker, Lightning Hopkins, Memphis Slim and many others. Filmed in a small TV studio in Germany during the Festival's tours of Europe, these tapes have been stored for nearly 40 years until rediscovered by Reelin' In The Years Productions.

Rediscovered after 40 years in the vaults, these priceless recordings of legendary blues artists have been lovingly remastered for the DVD format. Between 1962 and 1966 huge tours were undertaken by the likes of Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Memphis Slim, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, and many others. A popular stop-gap on the tour was a small TV studio in Germany, where the acts would record their songs for posterity. It is from these shows that the recordings contained within are from. An amazing document of a historic time, rediscover these bluesmen in the flesh as they take to the stage in their prime.

The American Folk Blues Festival was a music festival that toured Europe beginning in 1962.

German jazz publicist Joachim-Ernst Berendt first had the idea of bringing original African-American blues performers to Europe. Jazz had become very popular, and rock and roll was just gaining a foothold, and both genres drew influences directly back to the blues. Berendt thought that European audiences would flock to concert halls to see them in person.

Promoters Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau brought this idea to reality. By contacting Willie Dixon, an influential blues composer and bassist from Chicago, they were given access to the blues culture of the southern United States. The first festival was held in 1962, and they continued almost annually until 1972, after an eight-year hiatus reviving the festival in 1980 until its final performance in 1985.

The concerts featured some of the leading blues artists of the 1960s, such as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker and Sonny Boy Williamson, some playing in unique combinations such as T-Bone Walker playing guitar for pianist Memphis Slim, Otis Rush with Junior Wells, Sonny Boy Williamson with Muddy Waters. The Festival DVDs include the only known footage of Little Walter, and rare recordings of John Lee Hooker playing harmonica.

Attendees of the first London festivals are believed to include such influential musicians as Mick Jagger, Eric Burdon, Eric Clapton, and Steve Winwood, who were the primary movers in the blues explosion that would lead to the British Invasion.

Sonny Boy Williamson's visit to London with the 1963 festival led to him spending a year in Europe including recording the Sonny Boy Williamson and The Yardbirds album,[1] (first released on Star-Club Records in 1965), and recording with The Animals.

Sites where the festival was held included London, Hamburg, Paris, and others.

Blues musicians who performed included: Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, John Lee Hooker, Sippie Wallace, T-Bone Walker, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Memphis Slim, Otis Rush, Lonnie Johnson, Eddie Boyd, Big Walter Horton, Junior Wells, Big Joe Williams, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Willie Dixon, Otis Spann, Big Mama Thornton, Bukka White Howlin' Wolf (with a band made up of Sunnyland Slim, Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon and drummer Clifton James), Champion Jack Dupree, Son House, Skip James, Sleepy John Estes, Little Brother Montgomery, Victoria Spivey, J. B. Lenoir, Little Walter, Carey Bell, Louisiana Red, Lightnin' Hopkins, Joe Turner, Buddy Guy, Magic Sam, Lee Jackson[disambiguation needed], Roosevelt Sykes, Doctor Ross, Koko Taylor, Hound Dog Taylor, Archie Edwards, and Helen Humes. wikipedia
