アメリカン・フォーク・ブルース・フェスティバルの記録はCDでは出ていたが、2003年になって、遂にDVDが登場しました。オーティスは1曲のみだが、若き頃の彼、コブラからのデビュー曲"I Can't Quit You Baby"でどうだ！と言わんばかりの力のこもった演奏を聴かせています。額に汗を滲ませて歌うその声にははりもあるし、ギターの切れ味も抜群。リーゼントのオーティスは写真ではよく見るけど、動いている映像は他にはそうないのでは？モノクロだけど、映像はきれいです。お薦め！

ビッグ・ジョー・ターナーのバックでギターを弾いている。多分、上記のCDに入っている演奏の映像だろう。目立ってないけど、曲の最後の方でギター・ソロも披露している。
