  By the time of the live recording on July 4, 2002, at the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival, Al Kooper had a long and storied career that included numerous influential projects. Prior to this performance, he released the album "Black Coffee" in 1998, showcasing his signature blend of rock, blues, and jazz influences. In the years leading up to the 2002 recording, Kooper continued to perform and build his legacy, notably through his work with the band The Rekooperators, which celebrated his classic hits. The performance of "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" demonstrates his enduring impact as a songwriter and musician, as this track originally appeared on his debut album with Blood, Sweat & Tears in 1968. During this period, Kooper's ability to adapt his musical style while remaining authentic is particularly noteworthy, solidifying his status as an artist whose contributions have shaped multiple genres over decades.
