Bo Diddley "I'm A Man" (Live) 1977

Live double LP MF 2002, released by Manny Fox Productions, Inc.
Rare BO DIDDLEY! The following are amongst the rarest BO DIDDLEY-related recordings from around the world.
"A person is an individual and being an individual person is a gas. I have my own way of expressing my soulful feelings. I never wanted to be like anybody else and I can't copy anybody else. I got my own bag of tricks." -
"It's my rhythm that makes music penetrate to the followers I have. What you do has got to penetrate. You can be a good speaker and know what to say, but if you ain't shooting it out right, it just ain't gonna do right. You almost gotta write it on a piece of paper and sing it at the same time, just so as to make sure people don't misunderstand. You got to get it out there, produce it, make the people feel it and if they like it well, you got something going." -Bo's work is true ensemble. The instrumental group melds together with dynamic rhythmic backbone that carries Bo's concise and moving voice' "Know something? I'm classed as a Negro but I'm not: I'm what you call a black Frenchman, a Creole. All my people are from New Orleans, the bayou country. Just like Fats (Domino). French, African, Indian, all mixed up. I like gumbo, dig? Hot sauces too. That's where my music comes from, all the mixture. Some people are known for this, some for that. Mix 'em and it can get weird, hah!" -
These Records recorded on October 21 & 22, 1977 at Joyous Lake Nightclub in Woodstock. N.Y. are a testament to Bo Diddley's power and talent. With his ever-present wide-brimmed Stetson and his guitar that shoots his magic. Bo Diddley lifts you up and out, clapping and shouting "Have Mercy". - liner notes by Bo Diddley and Johanna Cypis

note: I have bought this regular double LP splitted in two different LP's with different covers - one printed in France, the other one in England. But obviously it is the same concert produced by Bernard Fox.
