I'm glad my mom dated hippies back then otherwise I'd never have gotten to know this track.
Absolutely freakin awesome!
I first heard of the PBBB in 1965 before they evenplayed at Newport and backed Dylan electric. Saw them probably 20-30 times with the classic line-up. You haven't lived unless you did see them and I was one of the fortunate few to see them at the Clun 47 in Cambridge, Mass. It was a small room that seated between 150-170 and when they came in they literally blew the roof of the place and our minds! Butter and Bloomers forever!
Being an 11 year old punk kid in the sixties I remember hearing this for the first time on "underground" FM radio and thinking," Who is this?! It sounds like the Yardbirds but the harmonica player is so much better." It still stands up. It's not about playing fast. It's about musical ideas and most importantly listening to your bandmates and feeling the groove.
This is still one of the greatest instrumentals of all time & my personal favorite.
We gotta get these guys into the R&R Hall of Fame!They influenced everyone all down the line.
Elvin's timing..when he comes in..and lays back really compliments Mike and the rest of the band.
Wow......Amazing!! This should get an official release. Absolutely LOVE the first two albums by these guys!!
LOVE THIS!!!! My (at least) once a year check in on Zinedine. Still kickin’ out here in Boston. I think we lost Pete The Madman down under. Have not been able to find him.
I attended my first live Paul Butterfield Blues Band concert in November, 1966 at JD's Riverbottom Room in Tempe, AZ . I'd been listening to Butterfield for over a year - and was playing professionally at the time. When I heard "EAST-WEST" during this performance, (it hadn't been released yet), I was absolutely STUNNED! We all were. This version is very close to the one I remember that evening. I still consider that concert to be among the best I've ever attended. They were spectacular! !
Unfortunately, I wasn't born when this music was going on (was born in '71) I'd love to be able to go back in time just to be able to witness Paul Butterfield, Jimi, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, etc. Anyway, I first heard this song about a year ago. PURE electric blues right here. I love to crank it up & just groove.
killer modal Bloomfield' solo ,one and only never heard first
What a groove just as good and fresh as I first heard it back in 66 - just magic!
The best. I am still catching my breath from the last solo.
Brings back memories...heard "East West" first when played by underground radio's godfather Tom Donahue played it. He was the first to program a station focused on eclectic music that did not have a place on commercial radio such as the explosion if alternative music coming out of San Francisco in the mid 60s. The station was KMPX and I could pick it up barely 100 miles away with a home made FM tuner and directional antenna. I did not care much for music at the time, just electronics as a 15yr. That one song alll 12-13 minutes long changed everything not only for me and my career but many already established musicians who were influenced by it including the Stones. :It is structured more like a movie than song, and has development that just was not part of the rock vocabulary. I moved to SF as soon as I could and was immersed in that extremely vibrant and creative music scene that existed nowhere else before or since the gave rise to hundreds of noteworthy bands that were all unique spanning what would be 30 genres today but it was just music, all heard on the same nights in the many dance/music halls. Where else would an electric Klezmer band open for a big funk band, which preceded an acid rock band or Ravi Shankar and ending with a 3 hour Grateful Dead performance, all for one cheap ticket. I have heard from several other people in the industry who repeated the same story, having that song change their life in music.
Wow....ITs good to know someone remembers Tom Donahue...Miss Rea and the rest of the pioneers of FM's KMPX...and the down south the mighty KMET
Zinedine my Brother....... I STILL listen to it at work when I need that Friday night "pick me up" ( which used to come in different forms) . Chris
this is when musicians were REALLY MUSICIANS
East/West still the BEST.
This version wipes the floor with anything on "East/West Live". I wonder if the entire recording is in "Wolfgang's Vault" somewhere?
AWE YEAH!!! This takes me to another place and time...Gets me high just listening...or am I experiencing?!
