The greatest Irish leader that Chicago ever knew. He was always proud of his Southside Irish roots. So here's to his honor, to his memory we'll be true
This movie taught me three things: 1) I hate Illinois Nazis 2) Never piss off your girlfriend 3) You can get away with anything as long as your on a mission from God
@@randyhutchinson9910 The shopping mall scene came out by accident. John Landis was doing recon, looking for shooting locations, and they came across that shopping mall. It was actually abandoned, went out of business several years before the movie was made. And Landis envisioned the car chase scene right there. So they had to write it into the script, and then get permission to use the mall, as well as permission from the various companies whose stores are seen in the mall. That mall actually stood for another two or three decades, vacant the whole, before it was finally raised about 10 or 12 years ago.
In my opinion, 'The Blues Brothers' was one of the most cosmopolitan movies of the 1980's, infusing jazz, blues, and popular music, with a modicum of diverse performing artists.
This was the all-time favorite movie for my roommate and me in 1984. When we were in music school we would watch at least a portion of this movie every single day when we would get home from classes! Great memories.
My dad would rent this constantly and mute the TV every time they sweared. He knew down to the millisecond when it was coming. But he still felt it necessary to show this to me. I guess this is why I got bass lessons and bought a Chrysler product with a 440.
The scene right after this in Chez Paul with Mister Fabulous is a guaranteed belly laugh for me every time! "How much for the little girl?" LOL. Paul Reubens (Pee Wee) too!
The wife loves to watch Christmas vacation every Christmas eve after waffle house. We watch this on memorial day weekend! She quotes her movie and I quote this, verbatim!
Nothing equals it. Every scene is perfect. It's the most FUN and one of the most genuinely meaningful movies underlying the slapstick comedy I've ever seen...
I remember laughing at this part when I was a child watching this with my Dad. Lol! Awesome stuff! 0:33. They are trying their best and no one is in the audience barely, yet they keep singing then, I couldn’t understand. Lol! So many memories with this movie.
This was the first movie i ever "taped" when i got my tv/vcr combo in my room as a kid. I then duct-taped a pair of headphones to the microphone to my karaoke machine, plugged the headphones into the tv, and watched it with surprisingly better audio quality than the tv had on its own.
Funny how this holiday inn is supposed to be shitty by 1980s standards, but today I’d love to go to a holiday inn that actually has a night club inside.
What's funny is I took a chick on a date back in the early '90's to a Holiday Inn night club and it was just like this one; two other people there and a band playing twenty year old elevator music. I don't think she was impressed.😂
Fun fact, Murph is the son of Chicago politician George Dunne. In a 1992 interview Murph cheekily said he moved from Chicago to LA because, "I'd done a number of free music festivals in Chicago; one erupted into a riot. I'd also harmed my father's career as much as possible." ;D
Saw this ALLTIME classic at the Capri Theatre on Fordham Road, Bronx NY when it first premiered back in '80 and about 30 times since!!!....GOOD Memories!!!...GREAT MOVIE!!!
this is without any doubt the best rendition of "quando quando quando" I've ever heard. " si vuoi dirmi di ssiii divi dirlo perchèè non ha senso per meee la mia viaaa senza teee dime quando tu verai dime quando quando quando e baciando tu verai non te lecheremo mai mai mai quandooooooooOOHHoooOHHH" - thank you Magic Tones you are Marvellous
Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
Hey "@@itwontcomeout5678", do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too "New Wave" for my taste. But when SPORTS came out in '83, I think they really came into their own. Commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear crisp sound and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87 Huey released FORE! their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square". A song so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics - but they should. Because its not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey "itwontcomeout5678" - AAAAARRRRRGGAAA!!!!!!!!!! Try hijacking a Blues Brothers comments section again you F-ing stupid Bastard!!!! AAAARRGGGG!!!! AAAAHHHAAA!!!! *Axe Drop*
Holiday Inn's famous sign with the flashing star at the start - it's a damn shame Holiday Inn cannot bring back that sign! It's the sign of a classic back in the 1970s and 1980s. BTW there was once a Holiday Inn in Elgin just off the I90 tollway on River Road now the Providence Baptist college owned by Northwest Bible Baptist Church in Elgin.
The thing about the exterminators on the sign reminds me of the movie Roadie, which came out a couple years later, where the western swing band Asleep At The Wheel are shown playing at a tire salesmen convention or something like that. Ray Benson, their lead singer says "Who booked this gig?".
I remember vividly Mannheim Rd was under construction to widen it to what we now know to 6 lanes. This Holiday Inn was in Schiller Park, Il. Great memories.
I think the clients at the Holiday Inn didn't realize they had one of the best R&B bands of all time for their own pleasure... but it's a movie, isn't it ? ;-)
Yes but to many there's a Stigma playing a Holiday Inn. Yet you'll play when you need to eat and pay your rent. Bernie Taupin even admitted that "Your Song" was a Holiday Inn Song.
@@kevinkuenn5733 yep, polka was huge in the suburbs of the northeast and upper mid-west during the 60s-70s; especially with the middle age and senior crowd.
You see that Holiday Inn marquis as they are driving in...I worked at the Holiday Inn in Somerville MA back in 1980 as 16 year old. I used to climb a ladder to put up those letters...
The BOYS!!! seen this movie at least 60 times!!! Luv it. I was in college when animal house came out, so U can imagine how wild I was. John Belushi and I would of really got Along well.
I love Jake's look,when Elwood told them,the reason he got locked up in the slammer,for sticking up a gas station to cover you're guys. I mean, just look at Jake's face. I laugh heard all the time on that part.
I just read the new Blues Brothers book. The stunt director brought several Bluesmobiles to the Chez Paul scene, expecting a few wrecks before they got the scene. One take, never mind, didn't give the driver enough credit. And I love the way the guy just opens the door for Jake.
I for one would most certainly love to pull into a Holiday Inn and catch Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn playing cheezy schmaltz to the patrons. Encores would include Booker T and The MG's tunes and Otis Redding...

I just came here to hear hin sayin' that line
I've never heard that line said any better!
Giggle, the thought of Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn playing at a Holiday Inn lounge cracks me up.
Kind of a "if things hand turned out differently for them" scene.
That’s a pretty good house band.
I would go to the Armada room every night to hear these guys.
No, sir, Mayor Daley no longer dines here. He’s dead, sir.
The greatest Irish leader that Chicago ever knew. He was always proud of his Southside Irish roots. So here's to his honor, to his memory we'll be true

That line is still a classic after 42 years ago and PRICELESS!!!!

I love how the valet opens the door for Jake after the Bluesmobile executes a modified parallel parking maneuver.

Duck Dunn. Coolest bass player ever.

He is playing the famous red P bass with the Jazz neck, awesome.
Smoking a Bing Crosby pipe.

I love how the doorman at the Chez Paul opens the car door like it's the most normal thing to do.
100 times watched it and counting. this movie is a MUSICAL, my fav musical
Almost as good as #Fiddlerontheroof.
The wife loves to watch Christmas vacation every Christmas eve after waffle house. We watch this on memorial day weekend! She quotes her movie and I quote this, verbatim!

We are putting the band back together. Best line ever
Got to meet Tom Bones Malone he was outstanding at 75 years old still playing his trombone.
I remember grabbing a drink in one of those Holiday Inn bars a few times on road trips and it looked just like that!
"Oh, yeah? Well, me and the lord -- we got an understanding." That's gold, Jerry. Gold.
You'll never get Mr. Fabulous out of that high paying gig. He's pulling down six bills a week.
I want to park my car exactly like that in front of every fancy place I visit!😂😂

HA. It’ll NEVER be old. It’s hilarious! Cuz it starts out friendly then its like “u got our money…” 🤣
I've loved that drum set since I was a kid. Nice old slingerland kit.
Yes I thought it was a Ludwig.
yeah- played more than a few rooms like this, with the same type of crowd, for the better part of 15 years. And yes, I do miss it every day....
"Candy-ass Monkey Suits" is a term I still use quite often.
The greatest movie band of all time and that ain't no shit niether.
Adewale Ogunboro pretty good band in real life also. Those guys were some of the best studio musicians in the world.
Yeah, the set at the end should have been about an hour longer with more soul standards!
Nothing equals it. Every scene is perfect. It's the most FUN and one of the most genuinely meaningful movies underlying the slapstick comedy I've ever seen...

A classic scene from a classic movie. I grew up on this and the warriors back in the great 1980's.
The Peter Gunn Theme in the beginning was perfect. Like they were on a secret mission to track down somebody.
"We're on a mission from Gaad."
We'll be back with the Magitones for the Armada Room's two hour disco swing party after this short break. Til then, don't you go changing.
And then snaps on a recording of them playing a lounge version of "Just The Way You Are". *shudder*
