This is A+. Picked up on Mr. Mann while stationed overseas. Thanks to him and Charlie Baty and have been a changed man ever since. Rest in Peace, sir.

YEAH!Thanx to all involved in this footage. The camera work is terrific.Stevie Ray and Michael Mann were the best guitar performers in the entire 80s.

Katie & Bos BOTH saw ALOT of Fats... i saw him the first time in 84' & did see his first stint as a Blaster a year or so later... he is, without a doubt, the best player ever from the recent era ( 79' or so onward) MFM is the alltime Jefe for me & about everyone else from So Cal from this era...

This guy was unbelievable! I've just been listening to Kirk Eli Fletchers' tribute to H.Fats from his 1998 CD "I'm Here & I'm Gone". The track is called "Mr.Mann" and is a real soulful blues instrumental. Kirk has been flying the flag for Fats for yrs. It's a shame Albert King was so jealous of the attention Fats was getting.Fats bothered Albert more than SRV did.I wonder why?

i was at this show and almost any gig Fats played in so-cal from 1980 to 1986..listen closely to part 2 and you can hear the Wild Cards yelling "go Fats" during his solo..they were the 1st band playing that night

Fats grew up in Los Angeles playing with PeeWee, shakey jake and others...he was a musical prodigy..at 16 he went on the rode with muddy,this was before he got fired by Albert King. |
