Skip James gave in Bloomington, IN, on March 30, 1968. He is in fine form here, with his high, haunting vocals and delicate guitar work sounding wonderfully intimate as he delivers solid versions of "Illinois Blues," "Cypress Grove Blues," and "Catfish Blues" before closing things off with a handful of spirituals, including an affecting version of "Look at the People."
