- Eddie 'Big Town Playboy' Taylor - TV gig France 1970 with the Aces … Eddie did a gig for me in Liverpool a couple of years later. This is the only clip I have of him. Anybody out there got anything?
This video should be launched into outer space so that extra terrestrials can learn what the Blues is all about. So terrific.
Fool! Where you think it came from?? Get some order bout you
agree!!
You just took tell it on the mountain to new heights. 😂😂
Not many deep and dirty Chicago blues performances like this on video. This is truly a historical record.
Watching Eddie Taylor playing his Gibson ES-335 guitar, is like watching a musician who had TOTAL command of the fretboard!
It's not a 335 but a 355. But I agree with you. I never met Eddie, but somehow like to think of him as my mentor when it comes to blues guitar.
My father Eddie Taylor sr bigtown playboy my king my everything thank you for the greatest gift you left your children your music you is always with me every day I will always carrer you with you are the king of the music I love you so much Eddie Taylor sr
Eddie Taylor, the man credited as the driving force behind most of Jimmy Reed's great recordings! This clip just proves how good he actually was!! Utterly fantastic!!!
Had the pleasure of seeing Eddie Taylor with Hubert Sumlin, Carey Bell and the great Freddy Below in Berlin in the 1970s .... he was fabulous...
" .. thanks Bob for sharing this video footage with us ... "
I never thought I will ever get a chance to see Eddie Taylor in motion : he's been one of my blues hero for so long. Thank you so much fot the thrill.

Wonderful document never seen Eddie TAylor playing live up to now ! What a blast thanks for sharing
Must be a contender for the best blues video on RUclips. What a fantastic piece of music played by a genius and with the greatest back-up band ever.
Eddie Taylor was THE guy in the electric Chicago blues scene…played on Jimmy Reed and Bill Doggett records. So incredibly under appreciate.
Eddie Taylor was the most underrated of the great Chicago blues guitars
Not by other Blues musicians.
Thanks for posting another treasure
THE BEST, EDDIE TAYLOR !!!
Another Pearl! Looks like most of rare videos of Chicago blues survived thanks to European/Japanese tours and TV stations recording it. Thank you for sharing Bob!
Tasty indeed! I can listen to him all day long.
Thank you for sharing this rare treasure. Eddie, Roosevelt and the Aces.. incredible!
this is absolutely brilliant
Believe it or not, I played this very guitar - thank you & RIP Eddie Taylor Jr.
Was it red or black?

If you are one of the freaks who gave this thumb down I'm afraid there's little hope for you.
Fred Below , so cool , Eddie Taylor serving some real greasy shit ,the whole band was so smooth kind of shit you can't get enough of ...

Thank you! Shared once again. Remembering *Eddie Taylor* - January 29, 1923 - December 25, 1985
Thanks for sharing this gem! Amazing blues there...
Great video. I can't wait to see his son Eddie Taylor Jr. in Boston in April 2017!
Treasure Bob!! I didn't see anything like this on the web. Absolutely greatm thanks for share!

Aces were indeed aces

If Eddie is working with the Meyers brothers he's in good company.

Eddie Taylor with the Aces - France 1970 (Live video)
Magnificent!
Fabulous.
Pure historical records......
i feel 15 again , exploring the blues.
THANK YOU BOB !!!!
Amazing material !!!!
If ain't no one done got a clue this music has its ROOTS in the Twin Stars, they need to wake up out of their slumber, man. Serious.
Love Eddy.. esp the work he did with Jimmy Reed. Met him when we opened for Jimmy at the Golden Bear.
Beautiful stuff! Thanks for posting this...
In Keith Richards book 'Life' he writes about being a big Jimmy Reed fan. I'm wondering if who Richards was actually hearing was Eddie Taylor?
Great share. Thank you. Looove.
superb!!!!!!
Fantastic!!!!!
I saw him a couple of years after this in Glasgow, maybe the same time he was in Liverpool. It was one of the shows with several artists - Doctor Ross, Big John Wrencher, Boogie Woogie Red and Eddie T. He played solo and was very good. I would have loved to have seen him with a great band like this. Great singer, great guitar player.
That must have been the year because I also booked Big John Wrencher around the same time who - I understand, had not long lost his arm in a car accident ..
Hi Robert, I just remembered a friend of mine knew a Blues enthusiast from Liverpool, you maybe knew, called Eddie Cousins. He produced a booklet on the tour. Still got it.
Hi Hugh - I seem to remember the name - was he a photographer? Any chance you could scan your booklet and let me see it? BTW I also booked a couple more blues artists including: Lightnin' Slim; Whispering Smith; Chicago pianists Erwin Helfer amd Blind John Davis; Gene 'Mighty Flea' Connors (who I actually played with a couple of times years later when he lived in Germany) etc.
Hi Robert,
Yes he photographed and followed the Big Bear tour. It is called "Travelling with the Blues" (A photographical survey) : Blues-Gospel Research Library Publication No 1 I'd be glad to scan it for you. Give me your address and I'll scan it and send a copy to you. I saw Lightnin' and Whispering Smith too. Lightning Slim was a real star. I can still see him in flared trousers, big tulip lappelled jacket and cap all in matching tweed!
Hi Hugh - send me an email address to connect to - I'm at bob.juke@gmail.com
Lawd. It don't get much betta than this. Love it...
Man you got some crazy great vids! Legends !
Merci.
What a great guitar player!!
QUE BUENO ESTO, A DISFRUTARLO! GRACIAS
Electrifying...!!!
Eddie's daughter lives in Chicago and sings there sometimes. I've seen her recently on Rosa's Lounge RUclips channel.
Five giants of the blues, all gone too soon. I never heard Eddie play that super-fast riff before!,(or since). The first time he played it here, the camera wasn't on either fingerboard, so I thought it must've been Louis.
Pianist keeping up with Eddie note by note!
❤️❤️❤️
While I respect the 70's-era Muddy Waters Band for calling themselves "The Legendary Blues Band," IMHO The ACES are the TRUE legendary Blues band. How can you beat Louis and Dave Myers and Fred Below? And here they're backing Eddie Taylor, who was THE guitar man for Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Walter Horton, and so many more.
Gooooööööd Good Feelings!
That is most definitely Roosevelt Sykes on piano.
Thanks! that was going to bother me.
FANCY!
The skyyyyyyyyyyyyy is cryiiinnnn
them blues
👌
カッチョいい！
I can see where Freddie king and Albert along got some of these licks from.
Sounds similar to Micheal Bloomfield. Great sounding blues guitarist.
💙💛🇺🇸👏👏👏👏
Curious...could that be Roosevelt Sykes on piano? I thank God for you and anyone posting anything with Eddie Taylor in it.
+Les Forgue - Yes it's Sykes …
Dear Bob the video is PERFECT, that's for sure, but i think that the right title is "Wreck On The Highway"...
Diatton BluesHi - You're right of course! ... But the French TV companies put these titles on and there are one or two errors in nearly every broadcast... you've got to remember though that English is not their language so I think it's easy to see why this would happen... I thought I'd just leave them the way they were. I'm just glad (as I'm sure you must be) that we have these recordings. Incidentally I had a club in Liverpool during the mid-70's and I booked Eddie Taylor on one occassion - he was amazing!!
Bob the Juke Many thanks that you answered me, dear Bob! Nice message of yours! Good that we all love the Blues so much...
Diatton Blues Actually the accurate name of the song is "Wreck On 83 Highway"
Isaac Montoya Many thanks my friend...
+Isaac 'Down Home Ike' Montoya yes sir runs north from Baltimore up in to p.a.theres a wreck near everyday!
There's another version of this same song available, apparently from the same festival. Louis takes a strong solo on that one (Eddie calls out his name, so you know it's him). He also calls out, "Okay, Mr. Sykes" before the piano solo. If this works, it can be found here:
ruclips.net/video/h1X2BpJQJ8o/видео.html
(Also -- Why is the title of this song always transcribed as "Rockin' 83 Highway" or "Rock On 83 Highway," when it's obviously "Wreck On 83 Highway"? )
same herw
Is this an example of the West Side Sound?
シカゴブルースのお手本✨
That's Roosevelt Sykes on piano!
John Hedger Indeed it is! Great player . My friend met all these guys during numerous trips to Chicago and Mississippi. He says they all had incredible charisma to go along with the talent. I have no doubt of it..great clip!
R Dewar That leaves me with a lot to think about. What I mean is the only people who can demand the law be enforced have to have the money for lawyers. But let me think about what you're saying.
Funny thing, the time stamp on this reply says 2 years ago!
My king my everything my father Eddie Taylor sr here doing what he loves to do best making some great music and i am Eddie Taylor sr baby son Milton Taylor sr and i am on here to be announced that me Milton Taylor sr and my business partner Ms Sarah Barlow we are putting out a brand new Eddie Taylor sr DVD release that called ready for Eddie Taylor sr live and December and so be lookout for the brand new Eddie Taylor sr DVD release that called ready for Eddie Taylor sr live and thank you so much and love and peace to everyone
is that Louis Myers on the other guitar?
Yes it's Louis Myers
... anybody able to tell me/us where this has been originally published/broadcast? which (French) TV channel (unfortunately I cannot identify the logo bottom right)?
Hi Stefan - The logo is mine .. I use it to track reappearances of this material on other sites , primarily to see if anyone else is actually making material like this available to others using other social media outlets - Bob Hardy
Big Town Playboy. Weird nick name for real life family man Taylor.
