Boz Scaggs Greatest Hits Live (2004)

Singersongwriterguitarist Boz Scaggs has kept a fairly low profile since his heyday in the 70s and 80sa circumstance more than rectified with Greatest Hits Live a greatlooking greatsounding concert recorded in San Francisco in 2004 For the most part this is Silk Degreesstyle Boz drawing from a large catalog that favors ballads some quite lovely like Harbor Lights Were All Alone and Look What Youve Done to Me and deft popRampBjazz à la Steely Dan albeit with more soul and less verbal wit and sophistication But while Lido Shuffle and other expected hits are here so are several grittier bluesier moments including Earl Kings It All Went Down the Drain and extended versions of the big band blues Runnin Blue and the slow lament Loan Me a Dime a tune from Scaggss 1969 solo album that featured great guitar playing by the late Duane Allman
