Lol, it was meant for the songs,but now that ya mention it...
I bought this in '61 in my senior year of h/s
"This CD was originally issued as a double LP by Vee-Jay in the early '60s, and the title is decidedly odd considering that none of these songs are recorded live, or at Carnegie Hall for that matter.
The first dozen tracks, which made up the first of the two original vinyl LPs, are some nice middle-period studio tracks, while the following dozen constitutes a "reissue" of sorts of the Vee-Jay label's "Best Of Jimmy Reed album.
If you're looking for a live document of Jimmy Reed, this ain't it, but stereophiles will love this as the sound is Mobile Fidelity impeccable, even on the mono masters, while stereo masters of such classics as "Baby What You Want Me To Do" and "Big Boss Man" sound almost revelatory.
The various musicians include Reed's lead guitarist and childhood friend, the great Eddie Taylor, as well as Willie Dixon, Curtis Mayfield and Phil Upchurch on bass, pianist Henry Gray, and guitarists Lee Baker and William "Lefty" Bates (who was indeed lefthanded and played his instrument upside down)."
