I had the pleasure of seeing Buddy play this song live in Oswego, N.Y. during this tour. He played this song, which is my favorite ZZ Top song. It was incredible. He played on a college campus music room. There was maybe 50-100 people there. It was incredible. Very intimate. One of my favorite live-music moments.
"Sure got cold after the rain fell" is one of my favorite ZZTop songs ever. I've never seen anyone playing it live with such talent and class. Man, you absolutely nailed and rocked it ! Congrats from Brazil !
@@killablooz Ha ha! Really? Must be just the John Mayall fans like me who know Buddy. We're friends on Facebook and I view that as a big deal, having Buddy acknowledge a nobody! Mayall opened the door for Buddy when he included him in one of the Bluesbreakers line ups many years ago now. Mayall also "discovered" Coco Montoya and he and Buddy were in the same lineup if my fading memory is correct. I have the live CD of one of their concerts somewhere.
Sad that there's no live footage of ZZ playing this. But good lord, this is as good as the real thing. I first saw this video about 5 years ago, and I always come back. So good.
Buddys' playing moves me as much as any guitarist I know. He has such a delicate touch yet can wang it on and alter the mood in a flash. He is using the pick up selector to change the tone to fit the mood as well. His years with Mayall were superb also
I love that song! Been playing it for years at my solo gigs. Every now and then someone will request it. Usually an older ZZ Top fan I love your version!!
To quote Buddy... "I stolt every note from Billy G himself"...Great man, Fabulous blues guitarist, Good friend. Thank you Buddy for April 17, 2017. The Journey's ride benefit.
I was looking for ZZ Top's version of this song live, found Buddy Whittington's version of it ... what a treasure!! My first time to hear Buddy play, what tone, phrasing and feeling! An amazing musician.
Anyone that knows Blues & Mr.Mayall knows Buddy's a masterclass player & though he may not have the recognition the gang of six stringers that have gone through the ranks with John have he's still one of the greats & most certainly not underrated at all. One listen if your not familiar with him is all it takes to hear he's a master. Man that slide section shows that to a T.
The greatest guitar tones in blues rock, not in order.. Rev. Billy Buddy W. Johnny Hiland Early (Truth) Jeff B. Honerable mention Jimi in studio versions..
For all those who are wondering if there is a better version of this timeless classic here on RUclips - forget it. There isn't. You don't only listen to this version from Buddy Whittington - I've discovered that for maximum impact of the song it is way better to actually feel it. And to go one step further, it tends to sink in even further when the scenario has happened to you. Rain fell this mornin', make me feel so bad On account of my baby walked off with another man. Like takin' eyesight from the blind man and money from the poor That woman took my lovin' and walked on out that door. And it sure got cold after the rain fell, Not from the sky, from my eye. Somebody, can you tell me just what make a man feel this way? Like river without its water, like night without a day. And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell, Not from the sky but from my eye. If you're home early in the mornin' you hear that rain to fall, With thunderbolts and lightning the wind begins to call. Your worry's superficial 'cause you slept on through the night But stormy weather keep you wond'rin' if ev'rything's all right. And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell, Not from the sky but from my eye, Not from the sky, from my eye.
just got hip to buddy yesterday, he is one of my new favorites. i hear ya bloobear1 i think this version is righteous just like the original is, dig em both.
Buddy is an amazing player, I found out about him searching Lentz guitars, as I think he's sponsored by them. He was playing for John Mayall's Blues Band for some time, very talented person. Love the sounds he gets out the strat's that Scott builds him, singing is great as well.
extra tasty 3 20 on then where the slide come from PURTEEEEEEE NICE TOUCH ON THE VOLUME SWELLS AND THAT XTRA SOUNDS RIGHT NICE... HOW BOUT A NUTHER COLD BREWS FROM BACK THERE......?

Buddy is the most melodic of blues guitarists. This song grabs me and throws me right out the window. My absolute favorite Buddy tune!

Mi-Tee Fine, boys! Mi-Tee Fine! Buddy nails it. So proud he's from Fort Worth!
I met Buddy in a small pizzaria in Pueblo CO. A true gentleman, a class act and a mountain of talent.

Mine too.
Zz top was my neighborhoods garage band when I was in high school and Buddy is a friend. You have good taste my friend.
Why isn't this bloke famous? More musicality here than in 1000 Swifts and Cyrus's. Something very wrong with this world.
he's a big deal in Texas, especially Dallas..!!
I always thought he WAS famous! We all know about him in Australia.
@@arthurblackhistoric I'm an Aussie. Never hear about him in my part of the world...

From start to finish, this video is excellent. Beautiful performance.
Been listening to Buddy for several years now, he plays here in the DFW area; what a talent!
WOWW!!
I love that song! Been playing it for years at my solo gigs. Every now and then someone will request it. Usually an older ZZ Top fan
I love your version!!
If you jam this style of music, I'd check the show out.
Damn 10 years ago, Im smoking legal weed in a free state these days. Praise God. Nothin but goosebumps when the slide came out.

I truly say Buddy Whittington is a good friend of mine miss you bud
Buddy is a true Texas bluesman.
A great guy, too.
Buddy Whittington ist ein dermaßen guter und cooler Gitarrist da fehlen mir einfach die Worte ...........

I’m here to tell you one of the greatest blues tone you will ever hear
I totally agree. Nobody kicks the blues like Buddy. One of the hidden blues guitar talents on the whole damn planet!
@@guitarzan34 He burns Clapton at Mayalls 70th Birthday concert.
MAN, His voice and that groaning Strat is MAGIC!!!!
The blues are just drippin off that guitar, good stuff!!!
rip dusty hill..i still refrerence this often for my own practice and tone's sake
The greatest guitar tones in blues rock, not in order..
Rev. Billy
Buddy W.
Johnny Hiland
Early (Truth) Jeff B.
Honerable mention Jimi in studio versions..
Magnificent!!! That strat is moaning that tone...greezy tone!!! Very well done!
Buddy is so good and he just kills these ZZ Top covers!
Absolutely the most melodic bluesman alive today! Gimme more!
Thank you for this Mr. Whittington..
Buddy is just amazing. I've had the honor to be on stage with him and as great a guitar player as he is...he's an even better person.
I know exactly what you mean! He has a superb talent. If I had 1/10 of his talent and humility I would be on my knees with thanks!
Love this song. Very rare and you guys did a good job!
Best cover I ever heard of my favorite ZZ Top tune. Right on!
Agreed!
WooooW! Very nice!

Rain fell this mornin', make me feel so bad
On account of my baby walked off with another man.
Like takin' eyesight from the blind man and money from the poor
That woman took my lovin' and walked on out that door.
And it sure got cold after the rain fell,
Not from the sky, from my eye.
Somebody, can you tell me just what make a man feel this way?
Like river without its water, like night without a day.
And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell,
Not from the sky but from my eye.
If you're home early in the mornin' you hear that rain to fall,
With thunderbolts and lightning the wind begins to call.
Your worry's superficial 'cause you slept on through the night
But stormy weather keep you wond'rin' if ev'rything's all right.
And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell,
Not from the sky but from my eye,
Not from the sky, from my eye.
Bad ass brother !!!

Oh My.......Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. Love It.
