Live at the Cafe Au Go Go is the debut album by the American band the Blues Project, recorded live during the Blues Bag four-day concert on the evenings of November 24–27, 1965 at the Cafe Au Go Go in New York City. The recording finished up in January, 1966 at the same venue, by which time Tommy Flanders had left the band.[2] They scaled down their usual lengthy arrangements for the album due to time constraints and record label wariness.
