  1. I saw Otis Rush in 1980 in a small club in West-Berlin. Very crowded, very good. I am surprised about that extremely naiv comments (relative many) regarding the crowd. It is obvious that this was filmed by only two cameras and the "crowd" was edited afterwards. They would not have wasted a camera to show the "reaction of the crowd". This was way before the self-centered smartphone-generation and their "reaction-videos about everything". And the theory about western, northern or maybe eastern european countries and the way how they allegedly behaved is more than silly: Take for example the Star Club in Hamburg were everybody played from Ray Charles to the Beatles to Jimi Hendrix or Chuck Berry or Little Richard and ask the people who attended these gigs as audiences, listen to Jerry Lee Lewis' so-called Star-Club-recordings (done btw in West-Berlin before a crowd of 6000) or just watch news reels when Bill Haley, Lionel Hampton in the 1950s or the Stones toured there in 1965 or Wilson Pickett 2 years later and you see actually how "stiff, Cool, calm and collected" the crowd really had been. Of course you can hardly listen to the music because you are hearing mainly the crowd. I wonder if these commentators would really appreciated this much more. I have the feeling these commentators really feel somekind of superior which is more than silly. The problem with Blues (or Jazz or Soul) acts in Germany (for instance) in the early to mid 1960s was that there was no infrastructure and venues for these musicians. There were few and the few were too small for many of better-known american musicians. People are forgetting how many cities even looked back in the 1950s after the war. The bands had to play either sport arenas or concert halls for classical music. The sport arenas had a terrible acoustic (sportpalast) and the concert halls were build for classical music and not for a beer-drinking and dancing crowd. Neither were suited for amplified music.
