New John Lee Hooker DVD : Cook with the Hook 1974


The official Facebook page of John Lee Hooker updated us on the "Cook with the Hook" Live DVD, which is now available for sale at Amazon and other stores.

The black and white DVD features rare footage of the 1974 concert in Massachusetts; here's the official description:

On Saturday, July 6, 1974, Mississippi-Delta bluesman John Lee Hooker was one of the star attractions at an all-day festival attended by 6,000 people. The event in the town of Gardner Massachusetts was called ""Down in the Dumps"" perhaps the first in what was proposed as a series of musical events to be held in the city landfill area. Luckily, very luckily, Hooker's performance was captured on a three camera shoot and broadcast on cable television in local cities and towns. Tracks: It Serves You Right to Suffer, Sweet Sweet Thing, Boom Booom, Whiskey & Women, Boogie, Encore/Medley

Also, there's a free MP3 you can get for "Serves me Right to Suffer" here.

Finally, here's a clip from Youtube:
