Wikipedia defines blues rock as follows:
“Blues rock is a musical genre combining bluesy improvisations, commonly over the twelve-bar blues, with rock styles. The core of the blues rock sound is usually created by the electric guitar, piano, bass guitar and drum kit, with the electric guitar often amplified…The style began to develop in the mid-1960s in Britain and the United States. British bands, such as John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds and the Animals and American bands such as the Butterfield Blues Band and the Siegel–Schwall Band, experimented with music from older African-American bluesmen…”
Out of John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers came Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor while the Yardbirds helped to develop Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck.

70th Birthday Party is a live album or DVD by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and Friends. The friends are Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Chris Farlow.
It was recorded in Liverpool on July 19 2003. The celebration was a little premature since Mayall was born on 29 November 1933.
While former Rolling Stones lead guitarist Taylor returned to play with the Bluesbreakers in the early 1980s, this was the first time for nearly forty years that Clapton and Mayall had appeared together on stage. Back in early 1966 they had recorded the classic studio album John Mayall & The Blues Breakers with Clapton reading the Beano comic on the cover.
This isn’t the over-the-top guitar album that you might have expected with younger versions of Clapton and Taylor. Both are aware that they are honouring the contribution that John Mayall has made to the British blues and are sharing the limelight with John Mayall rather than seizing it away.
The album therefore lies in the intersection of blues and blues rock.
