Wolf was a TITAN of a man and he didnt even have to _try_ --- all he had to do was just SPEAK and the accompanying band just played. KUDOS to the Rolling Stones for giving this LEGEND the stage, and BILLY PRESTON killin it on the piano. Rest in LOVE King. ❤ 👑
We’re so fortunate that clips like this have survived. Never seen a bad performance from Howlin’ Wolf. The Stones knew to pay homage to the true greats .
Brian Jones was instrumental in not only making this happen but turning the rest of the Stones onto many other bluesmen and alternative musical instruments. Howlin' Wolf will always be a foundation of the blues...a corner stone.
Try the film Cadillac Records (chess records) Eamonn Walker does a great job of playing him in the film. Beyonce is brilliant as Etta James. Jeffrey Wright as Muddy Waters.

@jjjmm Umm... yeah, Jones's behavior was erratic, but that's not what's at issue here. At issue is the fact that *Shindig* was known for promoting mostly white bands. The host was nattering on in hopes of killing enough time that Howlin' Wolf wouldn't be able to perform more than one number. Look at the desperation on the poor host's face as he flails for ways to keep the Brits at the mic.
@@johngore7744 I'm 67, but I never saw this clip until about three years ago. Did you catch it on VH1 or something? Yeah, the stodgy old guy (nice description) needed to be cut off before he panicked and lost his head completely. Man, they _really_ didn't want the old black guy to perform long, did they?
I swear Mick is stoned on something. His eyes are super intense. This is my favorite era for the Stones, right here and during Beggars Banquet. They were so into the blues and so tight. I heard they told these producers that they wouldn't do this show unless they booked Howlin' Wolf, too. Don't know if that was true. And Howlin' Wolf is my favorite early blues man from all the way back in the '30s. He and Muddy Waters were some of the first to migrate to Chicago from the delta region in Mississippi.
Currently reading his biography and that seems to be exactly what happened. When I heard that this was recorded I immediately came to see if I could find it and lo and behold! Very happy to see this performance. I totally share your sentiment on Howlin Wolf being one of the greatest, he's also my favorite. Such a unique artist, and a true powerhouse of blues in every performance. Gotta love him.
his eyes reflect the intensity of his soul he is sincere and truly feels the music as an AFRICAN AMERICAN i truly respect the fact that he gives credit where it is due his honesty that has help in his longevity as the leader of the greatest rock band ever i was 13 years old listening to the stones back in 1960s the greatest rock band ever
The Stones made it a condition of their appearance on *Shindig* that Howlin' Wolf had to be on the show, too. I like how, when the host tried to suck air time away from Howlin' Wolf, Brian Jones cut him short. I suspect the producers were wary of what kids' parents would say.
@Southeastern777 I was born in 1956. My parents didn't listen to stations like that. Their musical taste was strictly MOR -- Andy Williams and Petula Clark were more their speed -- but they let my sister and me listen to what we wanted. Golly, some good music was airing then. I'm sure it is now, but the music scene is so fragmented, I've simply lost track.
Alot of people loved the Blues in the UK especially after the great blues Singers did a tour of the UK, tryjng to see what chords they were playing etc BB King Muddy Waters etc, Sonny Boy Williamson and many more 👍👍they were the people who inspired Rythmn and Blues and Rock.
The story that "the Stones insisted that Wolf be on this show" is not as simple as it seems. The Shindig! creator-producer, Jack Good (the guy talking to Brian and Mick in this clip), hired Wolf to be on this show. But then some TV executive didn't like the idea of Wolf performing on the show. Good threatened to walk off this show if Wolf wasn't on it, and the Stones backed him up and said they would, too. But that wasn't much of a threat. The Stones didn't have the professional clout in 1965 that they did just a few years later and weren't the industry titans that they are now, almost 60 years later, so the TV executives wouldn't have been bothered much by the Stones walking off the show. Good's threat was a much bigger problem for them. He created and ran the Shindig! show and hired all the talent for it, so the show couldn't go on without him. Here's what Wikipedia says about Shindig!: The integration of black and white artists, however, displeased some executives and affiliates, particularly those in the South. As a result, Darlene Love of the Blossoms recalled, "Even after Shindig! was a hit, he [producer Jack Good] continued to get grief from the network about the 'color' of the show, and the more grief he got, the more black acts he booked." Here's what Good's obit in the Guardian said: Unlike most of the middle-aged producers responsible for putting early rock’n’roll on television, Good would definitely not rather have been dealing with the tuxedoed crooners of the swing era. “I prefer vulgarity to the excessive refinement that has long stifled British society,” he later wrote. In the middle of the 1950s, the era of the juke box and the teddy boy, he responded instinctively to the aesthetic of the new music and grasped the importance of the revolutionary culture that it fomented. I tried several times to interview Good about this show in the years before he died, but he refused to talk about it or anything else having to do with music. He'd become a painter in middle age and was quite religious in his old age. It seems he thought his TV endeavors were worthless, if not sinful. Wikipedia includes this tidbit about him: Good converted to Roman Catholicism and devoted his time to Christianity and icon painting, including a wall painting portraying the television as the Devil.
It's so nice to hear the person sing live and it sound just like the recordings. I suppose thats what happens when you actually have to give a full performance in the studio, nothing to save you but your perfectly homed skill.
@@bazzbling1 The guitarist is the LEGENDARY James Burton, Master of the Telecaster, lead guitarist for Ricky Nelson....and when Elvis started touring again he asked James Burton to be his lead guitarist and form the band known as the TCB (Takin' Care of Business) Band
@@momotata7233 Just shows how little you know. The blues was considered old hat by the mid sixties. It was over. No one bought blues records anymore and the blues men thought their careers were over as they were back to playing tiny gigs in small towns to try and scrape a living. Then the Beatles and Stones came along, and the Stones in particular resurrected the blues almost single-handedly. Howlin’ Wolf is on record as saying the Stones resurrected his career.
@@momotata7233Oh ye of little knowledge. Do some research. It’s okay to admit when one artist helped another flourish. Howlin’ inspired the Stones, and it turn the Stones helped to resurrect his career, and give him the money/recognition he deserved.
I may be wrong, but I think that's the M.G's backing up the Wolf🐺. I recognize Cropper and Dunne, and I think that was their drummer. However,the piano player appears to be Billy Preston.

Meet me at the bottom & bring my runnin shoes😅stunning slide guitar, he was a cat who could play anything - exactly what was said about Brian Jones🎉
His Majesty, prince Jones and The Wolf, that's history.
Brian Jones was a real fanboy I can only think of how that must’ve felt to open for such a legend
Brian Jones brought Howlin Wolf out actually. thats whats crazy about it. Blues was looked down upon untill the brits started doing it.
Now it makes sense why Mick plays the harmonica so damn well. 🔥
HA HA
I met Memphis Slim piano player on the howlin wolf tour 1963 , my dad knew him , I wanted to meet Sony boy Williamson , Willie Dixon , Hubert Sumlin ,
This " Rolling Stones" band are pretty damn good, these youngers might just have a future and some success....
For me he's the king of the blues.
Mick unbelievable white Blues Singer.
The Stones opened for Howlin' Wolf !!!
As it should be.

Brian Jones was in his element here. He clearly revered Howlin' Wolf.
How true it is, that the Stones made it a condition that Howlin Wolf appear on the show, to present Them.

Actually the Stones taking a stand like that was impressive, precisely because they were still new on the scene and not protected by popularity.

Nice one! any idea of who is on guitar looked like clapton before disraeli gears?

My favorite thing is how into it Wolf is. That guy just cannot keep still!
What a legend
the stones showed some honest respect.
The Wolf! Yes, Sir!
This was the man who ignited the existence of the Rolling Stones, No Wolf, No Stones.
