The 1990 show finds Hooker making a triumphant return to the Montreux stage with an expanded band that includes female vocalist Vala Cupp, an additional guitarist, and a sax player. After a raucous introduction boogie, Hooker delivers another hit-filled set with some new additions, including the title track from his 1989 album The Healer. His bone-shaking rendition of “I’m In The Mood For Love” is the ultimate in amorous blues and is positively percolating. A new slow blues simply called “Mabel” is noteworthy, too, and Hooker gives it his plaintive and soulful all.
