In 1966 there existed a short-lived European television music show titled The!!!!Beat. Thisdisc contains guitarist Freddie King's appearance on the program.

The DVD release of the show also includes three additional performances from a 1973 Swedish appearance. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

On April 28, 2007, Houston-born blues guitarist Vince Converse, former Savoy Brown vocalist Nathaniel Peterson, guitarist Jon Paris, and Scandinavian bluesman Clas Yngstrom descend upon the New York stage for the once-in-a-lifetime all-star jam that would set the blues world ablaze. In this release featuring the performance in its entirety, fans who weren't able to make the show in person can now experience just what it was like to witness blues history in the making. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
