Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff

Help Please!

I've Seen several blues artists live that were just amazing...topping that list is Buddy Guy back in the 80's. But, like others, his CDs never seemed to translate that raw club energy/presence I witnessed live. Blues has always been something I enjoy in person...but never really energizes me when I listen at home. I suspect It's out there and I am missing some great artists/performances. I would like some recommendations for:

Some blistering guitar driven/energetic/possibly live stuff--I don't want the slow stuff (I have that). (I guess when I think about it...it's more rock than blues I'm looking for)

Hello Qdrone, I remember watching Point Blank in Dallas area clubs. They were very powerful in the smaller venues. A great bar band. That power is hard to transfer to recordings for some reason. What recordings of Point Blank would you recommend that capture that power?

The first three are the ones to own (self titled, 2nd season, The Hard Way). They then became splintered with new personal and started going more mainstream. I've seen em on vinyl on ebay.

Recently listened to The Joe Perry Project-Let the Music do the Talking. This is a great guitar album!!! Many are familiar with the great title track, but Rockin' Train and The Mist is Rising are also equal to the best Aerosmith tracks.

Rory Gallagher - If you want the live blues experience at home start with Irish Tour '74, either the CD or DVD.
