Walter Trout - ALIVE In Amsterdam

180-gram 3LP set, recorded live in Amsterdam

Walter Trout has never sounded so alive. The date is November 28th, 2015. The location is Amsterdam's opulent Royal Theatre Carré. And the occasion is a live performance of the blues-rock legend at full-throttle. "We were rocking," remembers Trout of the comeback concert captured on ALIVE in Amsterdam. "If people are expecting a laid-back show, that's not what they'll get. This is potent stuff..."

ALIVE in Amsterdam is the sound of a man announcing his resurrection after a period on the ropes. As Trout's army of international fans are painfully aware, recent times have taken the bandleader to the brink, following a bleak diagnosis of life-threatening liver failure and hepatitis C in 2013. Trout's rebirth began with a successful transplant in May 2014, and gathered pace with 2015's Battle Scars: the acclaimed studio album that channeled his near-death experience into raw autobiographical songs.
