Proud to have followed Popa on tour in France in 2001. Myself and 2 crazy friends took some time off and travelled to France and watched 12 shows in a month. Became friends with the entire touring musicians at that time, cant forget Larry Crockett on drums.....What an adventure 20 years ago!.
why isn't this guy way more known? Never heard of this guy and just randomly ran across this video today. Now I'm checking out as much as I can. Amazing! Favorite section 01:50 to 02:30 with the harmonics and bends. Killer!
Every time I hear him play this through the years, his rendition of this song is the best. His 2011 Rockpalast rendition is my favorite. Such soul, feel and energy , a statement of versatility and out of the box artistry.
I’ve watched this video countless times, I think it’s the best cover of Hey Joe hands down. Watching tonight and staring at that Fender I just realized how much he manipulates tone with that switch. It’s absolutely incredible the tone he gets.
When you hear such talent you get goosebumps! How is this guy so good? It’s like he is one with the guitar. How very lucky these people were to hear this performance!
I tell you how he got so good: When the other dudes his age were starting to date, he was sitting alone at home - the destiny of many big kids. But obviously he used the time wisely :)
Paul Marshall Pm . Don’t know about you but I heard Jimi and Rory in amongst that . I’ve now binned all my musical instruments and have taken up spoons . What a fuckin performance .
What a “ Magical combination “ here , Popa , your Fender Strat and your Fender Vibrolux ….. still my favorite version on RUclips. Gives me chills . Using the full range of sounds from pickups and pedals and Amp …. Simply Amazing. Thanks for sharing this with the world Anthony. 👍👍
Today is a bad day, been retired I get given jobs to do around the house, today is house work Friday, bonus I get to play all my music, here's one Popa Chubby I love this old rockers music here's his version of " Hey Joe",
hell yea!! this dude is awesome, i see these guys play at our local harley davidson dealer on weekends sometimes during danbury harley davidson events. great musician.
I' ve known this musician for more than 15 years - back then he has already been huge in every sense of its word. I have admired his originality. His unique voice paired with his guitar skills. I have to admit I am almost surprised to see him still well and making music almost just like 15 years - only his beard has gotten grey... Which helped to convince me that this was really something most recent...
Et on ne peut pas comparer cette version et celle de 2011 !! 8 ans sont passés par là !! Les 2 sont différentes et énorme !! Bravo popa tu continue à me faire dresser les poils 😃😄
It doesn't matter how old are you No Matter how you look , once you hold your guitar and you good at it , You are the coolest Man on the Earth Keep Rocking popa 🤘
Funny seeing this 2 1/2 years later - was at this concert sitting about 3 person deep from the stage right in front of him, first time seeing Poppa, this was great!!!!
I have a few popa cd's all fantastic . but live this man is a god on guitar.I'm sure if Jimi were here he would love this .Every note is as clean as can be ..Its hey joe made better if you can ever do that. Deserves more .He is the blues..Any haters out there , you keep listening to j bieber ..We keep popa to our selves .A large bow to popa.Thank you .
I truly believe this guy is one of the greatest blues guitarist of all time !!!!!!
Fu... Eric Clapton :(
Rory Gallagher🎵🎸
Put Popa on the list of 100 Greatest Guitarists!!!
AWESOME COVER BY A LEGEND HIMSELF. SEPTEMBER 2022 SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. THANKYOU.
Nothing sounds better than a Fender Strat, a Fender amp and a wah pedal in the hands of a talented player. Awesome Popa !
Awesome the algorithm nailed it this time. Love it

Man, if you're a guitar player, Popa Chubby deserves serious respect. The guitar becomes one of his appendages.

Love the originality of Popa's lick's with his Stratocaster through that Vibrolux Reverb.
Popa...dude just ROCKS! Every single time I've seen him live...blown away!!!
Saw him in 1994 in a tiny record store in Brookfield ct, was blow away as a teenager and still blown away now. Truly underrated player

I like it better than the original
I' ve known this musician for more than 15 years - back then he has already been huge in every sense of its word.
I have admired his originality. His unique voice paired with his guitar skills.
I have to admit I am almost surprised to see him still well and making music almost just like 15 years - only his beard has gotten grey...
Which helped to convince me that this was really something most recent...
This is among the best blues guitar player i ever heard, his beats sounds special
I've never in my life and I am 60 year old to watch a person play the code on rythme/lead and vocal, thumbs up popa,rock on brother

I used to live a mile away from Callahan's, how did I miss this? Love Popa!!
Absolutely brilliant...
The best I have heard
I'm old and Jimmy was one of our own "in country" his sound was ours you did him justice Papa.
No one is old . just living tests all......
Papa keeps reinventing the solos on this so it never gets boring.
Excellent memories with the great Popa Chubby, we had made together, the opening of Montreux Jazz Festival in 2000. Symbolic year
Der absolute Hammer
Seen Popa many times... phenomenal!
Très bien moderniser, super arrangements, un bon moment....Merci.

This guy is amazing! Second rendition of ''hey joe'' I've seen him do. Both AWESOME!
Great !

......greetings from Italy
I said 25 years ago that it sounded like he slept with his Strat,it sounded that personal with the way he plays
Hendrix did. He took a guitar and a recorder with him everywhere too.
WOW, Robin Trower 0:30.... ;-). Must have seen this video 100 times..... Incredible
