Description:

This DVD and its companion, Acoustic Blues Live at Sweetwater, both seem like slight misnomers, if only because each does what the other purports to. Just as Acoustic Blues Live rocks surprisingly hard at times, so Electric Celestial Blues dials things back a few notches for some tasty and acoustically rootsy numbers. Hot Tuna, at center, consists of guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Cassidy, both founding members of the Jefferson Airplane. This set, videotaped at the Fillmore in San Francisco in late 1994, features a plugged-in performance with a band that also includes Pete Sears and Michael Falzarano. The onstage footage ranges from the mellow, almost Dead-like "Candy Man" to a more rockin' and bluesy "Stop Breaking Down." DVD bonus features include almost 40 additional minutes of audio from the concert, as well as a backstage conversation between the enduring odd-couple team of the button-down Cassidy and Kaukonen, who looks like an aging biker. --Marshall Fine
