Recorded by Larry Steele who had this to say about Hound Dog Taylor at The Kent Kove:
"I talked to Hound Dog on this night -- I study astrology, so i asked his birthday - surprise, it was April 12th, 1915. I was surprised he was that old and out there playing & swinging that guitar around, drinking whiskey & smoking dope. I remember that he turned his back to the audience so they wouldn't see him doing that, which I found hilarious. He played the Kove more times when Brewer Phillips was gone but his young guitar player replacement was not nearly as good & Hound Dog seemed to sense that. I think I even recorded one of those shows but it was so bad i didn't keep it. Brewer Phillips was the star."
Larry had this to say about recording the show on this night at the Kove:
"I had/have a big reel to reel recorder and I would put it midway in a booth behind the long wooden seats that were down front. Then I had two different 40 foot mics stretched out to both sides of the stage, so i was getting everything in between onstage. Hound Dog seemed to be perfect. People were yelling & bottles were breaking. When you hear Hound Dog asking for 'the doctor', he meant for anyone to be the doctor & bring him his medicine - whiskey. It was a great night at The Kent Kove."
