JOHN HAMMOND 

HARVARD STADIUM, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 

PRE-CONCERT (1970) 

John Hammond is still singing the blues, after all these years: "For four-plus decades, Hammond has, like many itinerant country-blues artists before him, played acoustic guitar with a fast-fingered finesse that leaves audiences marveling at his technique. Like [Robert] Johnson, Hammond sometimes gives the impression he’s playing two guitars simultaneously – one holding down the bass line, and the other delivering fiery rhythm work and solos." – Russell Hall
