This was the first performance of Junior Wells that I saw and my first reaction was to pick my jaw off the floor....he's got a quality that is rare huh?
I passed New Years there once. And later jammed with Johnny Winter on a Blue Monday in Teresa's too. That video is so real. A neighbour hood bar-those guys played and clowned like hell in there. Sounded, acted differently than outside the city. Enjoy this to it's fullest!!
Theresa's was on the South Side, 47th and Indiana. See Steve Tomashefsky's great liner notes for the Delmark Live at Theresa's album for the most accurate description in print.
No one. An era has passed -- Junior Wells, Louis Myers, Pinetop, Detroit Junior, Sunnyland, Moose Walker, Jimmy Rogers, Carey Bell -- they're all gone. People still play the music -- and do it well -- but a lot of the original context is gone as are the real creators. At least we got to hear them before the end. Billy Branch in Chicago and Marquise Knox is St. Louis keep a little of the flame alive.
Check out Junior Wells "Southside Blues Jam," on Delmark Records, recorded in December 1969 and January 1970, with Buddy Guy on guitar and the great Otis Spann on piano.
Thankyou to whoever recorded this!!! Attention all hipsters, youngsters etc..this is no cellphone captcha...had to be a reel to reel portapack video (read real to reel) or actual FILM..it was a huge deal and I thank whoever understood how important and fleeting these moments were. RIP Junior et al....I was one of the white chicks in love.
Junior Wells, Phil Guy, Dave Myers, Buddy Guy - Just To Be With You (Live @ Theresa's Lounge) "Nooo, there ain't nothing in this world, baaaaby Oh Lord, little girl, i wouldn't do for you Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord..." - 01:16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. That hat just screams the blues! 2. "sweet, soft and funky" just like i like my women... I could go on aaallll night ...but seriously folks, this music right here is DEEP.
i look at music 1 way if u get the natural high u can get the emotional content needed 2 b tru,every tru bluesman has lost people they love n lived hard.they put these exspeariances n emotions in2 their music.so many made original music n the roots of blues has music in its purest n original form.but when fred mcdowell covers a tune its freds,when skip james plays its pure skip like many others they live 4 ever,cos they have tru emotion identitiy n creation.but on old vinyl its like yr there.
Hey man, sorry to bother you, but I bought the track "Goin' Down Slow" from the Live at Theresa's 1975 album- and there's 2 guitarists credited- Phil Guy and Sammy Lawhorn. I was wondering if you knew which one was doing most of the soloing on that particular track.

In VERY loving memory of Mrs. Theresa Needham (1912 -1992 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).

Oh Lord, little girl, i wouldn't do for you
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord..." - 01:16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody has or ever will, in my humble opinion.
Oh, thanks DannyTsun, now I see, he's playin' a A Harp 1st Postion, thanks
M A S T E R P I E C E!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
you'd be talking about the good old days !
damn right !! they got the blues
R.I.P. Phil Guy
Mistake at 2:57. Theresa's was on the South Side, not the West Side. I spent lots of time there in the early 70's.
ppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaala. en heroina todos. pero todos eh. qué bueno. thank you!!!
This song is called Just To Be With You by the great Muddy Waters.
Isaac Hayes M.K. It's called "ships on the ocean"
JUNIOR WELLS DIED IN 2005 R.I.P.
Looks like Phil and Buddy playin with Junior.
Real stuff ..
Buddy Guy looks High! great song from a harp maestro
Just one dollar cover and one dollar beer? That means one could enjoy himself the whole night for under 10 dollars?
😍❤️
so good
Can someone please post the whole video/film? Thanks in advance!,❤
yoo wee i sure got da blues today
@blues999z Good analogy there.
As good as it gets and doesn't get that good again
This the $hit ! ! !
The bass player is Ernest Johnson...
Unseen drummer is probably Nate Applewhite...Also, I remember fondly the tongue clucking Junior does when he is deep in a groove
Michel Lacocque Nate had a long stint with Chi-town legend Magic Slim, perhaps after Steve Cushing's time with the band?
Junior's vocal style is awesome, and quite unique.
Hey man, sorry to bother you, but I bought the track "Goin' Down Slow" from the Live at Theresa's 1975 album- and there's 2 guitarists credited- Phil Guy and Sammy Lawhorn. I was wondering if you knew which one was doing most of the soloing on that particular track.
You mean the bass player shown at 2:55? I don't recall the bass player's name at the moment. but it's definitely not Magic Slim.
so real...it scary...I can smell the cigs and beer...
buddy showing off his conducting skills haha
I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that's Magic Slim ... for just an instant ... at about 2:55 on the video.
phil guy... buddy guy's brother
Does anybody know what the song Junior Wells is singing is called?
Xavi Lynn "ships on the ocean" It's on the Hoodoo Man record
Who is going to fill these shoes?
bass player is earnet johnson
ok how do you know it's him taking the solos though? as opposed to lawhorn
The bass player is definetly Dave Myers. I don't really know the big guy is Magic Slim, but he could be, he always jammed in the Southside.
Bass player is definitely NOT Dave Myers!
What's the name of this documentary?
The couple is as big o maybe better then Ike and Tina Turnes !!!..so good
Name of the song?
@OldGoldSoul WRONG. He died in 1998.
JW could get real blue.
@OldGoldSoul wikipedia on Junior_wells
song is ship made out paper
How's that song called?
Daniel Soares "ships on the ocean"
"Just To Be With You"
What kind of harp microphone is that?
It's not a harp microphone, it's a vocal / PA microphone.
checker764 cool! Do you know if Wells was using a harp microphone for the Hoodoo Man Blues album?
I don't know for sure, but it sounds like he's playing through a vocal mic on that album.
No. The guy at the bar. Shown for only an instant.
Incorrect. That is not Magic Slim, and Phil Guy is in the afro wig, playing guitar, not bass.
1:02 mafia.
South side, not West side!!!!!!!!
Talking over the music? - Yaarkk.
nobody
