I have finally realized that Bloomfield is probably the greatest blues guitarist in history. He owns the essence and free flowing originality of blues. Not to take anything away from the other greatests Johnny Winters, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix. Bloomfield is the dive bar blues master hands down.
I can't even imagine a better electric blues guitarist. Bloomers was both MELODIC and MEAN at the same time, characteristics that are usually exclusive to each other. Thanx for posting this track.
Incredible soft touch and rich tone by Mike B. Just the best Les Paul blues player. Let's you savor every note and phrase. Nick G vocals the perfect counterpoint. Great trade off between them.
Let's not miss the lyrics... "I'm gonna build me a little snowman, baby; Oh I'm gonna cover him with my tears; Yes, and when he melts in the spring time, Lord, yes, he's gonna take all my thoughts of you; Beautiful imagery, easily missed because it's so slow and there is so much soulful response going on from the guitar.
you prolly dont care but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
To Zinedine......here is my twice a year THANK YOU...for "Wintry" and all the other Bloomfield you have graced us with. It's 1 a.m. in Boston, Ma...and I'm alone in a dark house....fuckin DIGGIN....this track. Cheers.............
I came up as a young guitar player idolizing MB. Still love this old stuff. He had developed a very tasteful style, incorporating sensitive dynamics and tonal subtleties, use of space, interesting modal lines, and one of my fav's... his distinctive pitch-bend down, rather than merely up. He died too young: I think he was left by friends in his car during a heroin overdose.
Michael asked me if I would like a request. I requested a smouldering slow blues, this is what I got, thanks Michael RIP never was anybody so nice. This song is take fom an earlier Gravanities tune, thank to you too Nick
From 1969's My Labors by Nick Gravenites-vocals by him too.Bloomers was as good as it got.Thanks,ZINEDINE05, for posting his stuff-there are things posted by you that i didn't know Mike did.
you met michael?wow,thats awesome!thanks for checking my videos out,hope you like some of my other selections.mikes music and guitar playing are very special to me and i'm glad i get to share this stuff with his fellow fans. see you on the tube Curt!take care. Terence
Hey, lay off, Mark's piano is usually excellent and this guy is just noting it. I love Bloomer, listen to him since 1965, but nothing wrong with praising Naftalin.
this is one of my favorites. its an absolute shame how pennebaker edited out the flag's whole set from the movie. i would love to hear that speech too.
Great track! Long live Mike Bloomfield! I am waiting for someone to upload his 10 minute great speech he gave the "Love Crowd" at Monterey Pop Festival about "how beautiful and groovy they were. This is some GREAT guitar playing.
@stonemojo This isn't the Electric Flag. It's MIke Bloomfield & Friends.It's from the same set of shows that the material from "Live At Bill Grahams fillmore" was taken from.
I agree Chavee49. If youve noticed I'm starting to do that,because I have way to much extended material that I want to share with everyone.I hate the 10 minute max on videos.
Thanks Z...I'm amazed at the wealth of Bloomfield you have. I've always thought there was a limited amount of his recorded stuff. Apart from the Kooper/Bloomfield recordings, I have "Don't Say That I Ain't Your Man! Michael Bloomfield Essential Blues 1964 - 1969". Listening to the stuff you've posted has blown me away! BTW, there's one song missing from the 'Super Session' collection in your posts - "You Don't Love Me". Would be nice to hear that again. Thanks again...
i read somewhere that pennebaker showed truman capote the monterey footage. capote then told pennebaker that the electric flag looked tacky and that he shouldnt put them in the movie.sad but true!!
I saw it live in person this and another show the audience was transfixed. At that time Michael was the best slow blues player with Albert king they had this slow blues power awesome to behold. It was Gravinites gig, that is the way Michael worked it.. this song and blues on the Westside on album "My Labors". The horn section wasn't too good though here.
"i hate posting edited tracks" - ZINEDINE05 Hi Z... I know it's a drag to post edited tracks, but you could do us die-hard Bloomie fans a favor by posting them in 2 parts. These days there are numerous software programs that can join them with ease. Thanks dude!
this is from the my labors cd.the song actually begins with a really nice 3 minute piano solo by mark naftalin that i had to remove to upload the track.youtubes 10 minute maximum for videos really stinks.i hate posting edited tracks,but mikes work on this was to good not to share it.
Love and miss you forever. Mike Bloomfield 💙
Terrific, all the way around! Mark Naftalin on the keys is killin; it too,
Michael ignored by the phony ass critics, greatest blues guitarist period👍🏻

Add Peter Green and you cover them all
Otis rush, elmore james, earl hooker, Wayne bennett, lafayette thomas 😊
Best I ever seen , only cat I ever seen, make love to his guitar, the whole time

This is straight up Brilliant!! The Best There Was IMHO!! RIP!! Missed By Me!!
I'm on a Bloomfield jag and it wouldn't be complete without some Mike and Nick. Loved this song for almost 50 years & it sounds as good now as then
I can't stop listening to him. Just re-discovered him after 45 plus years
Damn he was so good!!!
They were brilliant.
Nick, Michael and Mark ...my old nocal neighbors~ miss those boys their music and those years!!
Let's not miss the lyrics...
"I'm gonna build me a little snowman, baby;
Oh I'm gonna cover him with my tears;
Yes, and when he melts in the spring time,
Lord, yes, he's gonna take all my thoughts of you;

Omg, Mike's tone is too die for! And so is his playing!
STILL STILL STILL loving it.........

we all miss his wit and humor!!
I love Mark Naftalin's piano on this.
Hey, lay off, Mark's piano is usually excellent and this guy is just noting it. I love Bloomer, listen to him since 1965, but nothing wrong with praising Naftalin.
@@stevemendelson9882 He became very prominent in subsequent years in the Bay Area, organizing the annual Blues Festivals.
bloomfield music magic me
Still Loving It........After all these years.......
nice vocal by Nick Gravenites!
@GarySchipper1 and his tone ranged from subtle sighs to angry biting comments. never heard anyone that had such emotional expression in the guitar.
I like your channel Zinedine05 like I liked Michael Bloomfield! Miss you Mike...
this song is a true treasure...
thanks for the post...i am forever in your debt zinedine
PERFECT TONE.....delicious. must be that burst' through a blackface twin reverb and his magic hands, of course!
Still Loving it brother.........................WUSS
this is one of my favorites. its an absolute shame how pennebaker edited out the flag's whole set from the movie. i would love to hear that speech too.
Mike and Nick couldn't have meshed any better... who are the 3 idiots that thumbed down
This is a fine bit. It just puts me in a relaxed frame of mind. Some people don't get it.
this very best guitar sound
Great track! Long live Mike Bloomfield!
I am waiting for someone to upload his 10 minute great speech he gave the "Love Crowd" at Monterey Pop Festival about "how beautiful and groovy they were.

Man he makes that thing 'HONK" - damn, the true genius of blues rock guitar, so good it's almost unlistenable!
Ya Baby ! OMG, I so so so enjoyed this, thank you very much for posting

If you get the complete Monterey Pop Festival, there is a dvd of the outtakes which include Electric Flag and Butterfield among others.
