My dad was a country man who loved the blues. Thanks for leaving me with this gift dad. Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, James Cotton, B B King, and so many more. The blues speaks to me via my heritage.
I’m from Barcelona, so blues is not part of my heritage, but I just love Blues, as well as Soul and Jazz! I’ll never forget all the wonderful artists I had the privilege to attend to their concerts, Nina Simone, BBKing, Duke Ellington, Chick Corea, etc!
Some blind clicker hit the thumbs down? Stone cold deaf? How could anyone not love this? My goodness what do they have to do to please? This is heart and soul of the blues!!! Loving every tone here!
Hey partner I've been listening and playing to blues 4 almost 55 years and some people just don't get it there lost once I was engaged to a gal she sang opera took me to every performance she even took me to Italy now I appreciate all music but that I never could figure out if was singer's acting or actor's singing my point some just don't get it there lost but we must not judge P/S she loved the blues
I saw this pair open for the Rolling Stones a few years earlier than this performance. October 5th, 1970 to be exact. They completely, utterly and totally stole the show. Real hard core Chicago electric blues played loud as hell. Remember it to this day...
This is truly amazing stuff. It should be required listening for any musician and any music lover. The range of feelings, the extraordinary dynamics, the total control, the intensity of the entire performance is just remarkable. I first saw Buddy Guy in 1967 and was astounded then. I remember that he had an outrageously long guitar cord--long enough to let him leave the stage, go up the aisle, and outside into the lobby while he was playing an absolutely blistering solo. My young mind was transformed that day. And he's even better today than he was then. Truly a player for the ages.
I saw Buddy at City Stages in Birmingham, Alabama. Saw Junior another time. Must have been 80s. Buddy left the stage and climbed up a fire escape at the rear of the crowd without missing a beat. Crowd loved that.
This is truly magnificent. One can see two extremely talented musicians giving it all in a historic performance. The quality of the music is just out this world. In my opinion Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at their best. One of the best slow Blues videoclips in RUclips.
Yes, THE Bill Wyman on bass. THE Dallas Taylor, drums (CSNY, etc.); THE LEGENDARY Pinetop Perkins, piano; Terry Taylor, guitar (cofounder with Wyman in 1997 of The Rhythm Kings.)
I saw Buddy Guy at Chastain in Atlanta in the late 1990s. During the show he did a medley where he would play in the style of various guitarists. He sounded just like them.
I saw him a few years ago and he certainly doesn't play with the same soul anymore. He is like a cheesy comedy show. Such a pity as he was always my favourite.
Hey... c'mon, his 86 and still playing well, course he has no force anymore. In his 70's he still was a tempest, I wish many people had half of his energy.
I've been fortunate to see many blues legends live in concert, including Buddy Guy, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Koko Taylor, Etta James, and Otis Rush. I regret missing Junior Wells though.
I saw Buddy many times at Chicago's Checkerboard Lounge '78 - '81. Junior often was a "surprise" guest. I never did get to Junior's hideout at Theresa's. Great times. One winter night the audience was sparse, and Buddy sang Tobacco Road... Junior scared me sorta -- so good, and a very intense performer.
Awesome blue's. I would really like to see "The Blues," have a strong come back in 2024, and going forward. I miss the long ago bluesmen, from back in the day. There was such a strong appreciation of the art back then. The "blue's bug" had me, by the time I was 8 yrs old. I was just a kid, loving and somehow already appreciating the deep down feelings that those songs would cause my heart to feel. It was the 1960's and I would listen to my radio, on an AM station in Dallas Texas. I would be playing with my Barbies, and listening to that music in my room at the same time. I just loved that soul moving music. There was nothing like it! My parents even took me to New Orleans one summer, so I could watch it be played in person. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world! It was so cool. 🙏❤️😎
some true blues right there,,,,,and the drummer, wearing a silver surfer shirt,,,,,good memories,,,,good times,,,,if ya ever get a chance to see buddy guy,,do not pass it up!!
I saw these gents open for Muddy and friends (Pinetop, et al), then there was a jam: Muddy, Buddy, Junior, and a stage full of blues masters. Albany, NY, around 72 or 3.
Nothing like some slow blues! All I need is a short glass of Crown and a dark room filled with smoke! Just let me sit there with eyes closed and enjoy the music!
saw these two at the marble bar in Baltimore remember helping them down the steps from the stage they were fried they gave their all so so blessed to have seen these two ledgens
No words..just awesomeness. This performance made me cry. At the end Junior tells Buddy that that was really good. See the mutual respect and admiration they had for each other and the fact that they could have that effect on each other, let alone the audience, just blows me away. Thanks for sharing this vid!
This is a lost genre of music and it is a crying shame. There are great players out there today Kirk Fletcher comes to mind but, nobody today stinks with funk like Buddy!!! Thank God there are recordings of nights like this for the world to have forever.
As long as black people exist our art form will exist. There are plenty of people in the world who have this same soul, you just don’t know them. I know plenty.
Buddy's really good, but his old Chess recordings and the guitar playing he did on them back then are a million times more superior than anything he's done in these last 40 years. He just sounds commercial now.
@@msaintpc I wonder how much of what you are saying is because people like Clapton made Guy's playing familiar. Then Guy felt he had to give the people what they want.
I never really understood what the Blues really meant until I heard BB King say it is all about timing. He was right on because anyone can play the notes but until you can time them and put your heart and soul into it you are only playing just another song.
Wow Chicago blues is so powerful and dynamic, we play this song with Billy Branch and the S.OB.’s, they played “Hoodoo Man” a lot slower than us so, cool to hear it as a slow blues! 👍🏿
que barbarooo que bonita experiencia grandes momentos... es un catarsis de la música, y el poder contemplarlo en video es una gran graaan!!! experiencia y esto por tratar de describirlo... Muchisimas gracias por tan grande joya que podemos contemplar...
Papa Michael and Walter Mull, I'm so glad that you guys understand this. Anybody who closes their eyes and just listens to the music and not say that they don't like this unless they're totally blind
So glad I posted on this one and someone commented on my post, cause here I am again! Holding up my hands! Such heart and soul, such quality blues singing, guitar and blues harmonica, the timing, the delivery! OMG thank You for the ears to hear and heart to feel this! Oh an you too Rick Davis for posting these geniuses at work!
@4Q2 smith Yeah I was born and raised in Chicago my uncle Tanner 'Red'Johnson was very close friends with Jimmy Rogers he played guitar with Jimmy and Muddy mostly side gigs off and on at house parties...
I saw Buddy Guy 25+ years after this, touring with BB King, Susan Tudeschi, and Blind Boys of Alabama. He was just as crisp, no loss for the wear! 🎉
My dad was a country man who loved the blues. Thanks for leaving me with this gift dad. Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, James Cotton, B B King, and so many more. The blues speaks to me via my heritage.

Two absolute blues legends ! RIP , Junior and Buddy keep on rockin’ in 2022!
Let only music rule the world fans & let it sound just this good, turn back in Montreux & let it happen again, who is willing to sing along?🎉❤🎉
Some blind clicker hit the thumbs down? Stone cold deaf? How could anyone not love this? My goodness what do they have to do to please? This is heart and soul of the blues!!! Loving every tone here!
I'm not one of them, but, seriously, that bottleneck sliding like a snail turn me crazy. No congratulations to Bill W. & Dallas T. , btw.
I'm with you. How could ANYONE not like this?
@@uncleenore Taste is different, look at the charts 90% bullshit.

Speaking of the Rolling Stones, that's Bill Wyman on bass. You can see him best at 5:43 and 8:52

Yes
The way he controls the guitar is just amazing. One of the best ever.
I saw Buddy at City Stages in Birmingham, Alabama. Saw Junior another time. Must have been 80s. Buddy left the stage and climbed up a fire escape at the rear of the crowd without missing a beat. Crowd loved that.
😂Buddy Guyis the perfect foil for Junior Wells....Superb !!! The kid playing slide doing a great job !!
Buddy Guy's singin makes me wanna cry. Jimi lives through this music still.
There are no words to describe these beauties. Wow.... Buddy... WOW!!!!
This is truly magnificent. One can see two extremely talented musicians giving it all in a historic performance. The quality of the music is just out this world. In my opinion Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at their best. One of the best slow Blues videoclips in RUclips.
Well said
@@murph3001 Amen to that!
So clean and pure love the harmonica love Buddy guy at his best definitely one of the Better Blues guitarist around IAM glad I heard it makes my night
These fellas both singing their asses off right here. With authority.
Yes, THE Bill Wyman on bass. THE Dallas Taylor, drums (CSNY, etc.); THE LEGENDARY Pinetop Perkins, piano; Terry Taylor, guitar (cofounder with Wyman in 1997 of The Rhythm Kings.)
thank you!
Brilliant backing band...thanks 4 naming them
Buddy Guy has aged well. He doesn't look a whole lot older today than he does in this video from 50 years ago.
Lord have mercy. I don't think there is a guitar player today that can play with this soul.
I saw Buddy Guy at Chastain in Atlanta in the late 1990s. During the show he did a medley where he would play in the style of various guitarists. He sounded just like them.

@@wadeolder7193 You are correct!!!
A true force of nature and a sweet compliment to mankind 🌻:)🌹
Real good music like this makes my head happy
been lucky to live in Chicago my whole life. saw these 2 many times live. nothin like it ever again. this IS the blues
Again, is this not the greatest 12 min of life you can spend? Thank you gentleman

My God ! Junior Wells was WONDERFUL. Buddy IS PURE ENERGY too! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
the emotional intensity is simply spellbinding.
Junior Wells was one talented dude!
Buddy guy and Jr. wells are two fantastic musicians. They are blues legends.
Tru dat.amazing show.cheers
Yes yes. And Fantastic together
Junior Wells's singing is so good - I'd really only thought of him as a harp virtuoso.
Probably one of America's greatest gifts to the world!

Get the album Junior Wells "Live from Pepper's Lounge" on the south .side of Chicago. Buddy Guys on it too. Real Goood!
2 Blues Icon!!! Buddy Guy my favorite guitarist of all time!!!! Jr & Buddy a perfect combination of straight funky down home blues!!!!!!
some true blues right there,,,,,and the drummer, wearing a silver surfer shirt,,,,,good memories,,,,good times,,,,if ya ever get a chance to see buddy guy,,do not pass it up!!
Actually they are both at their best, and Juniors and Buddys outfits are smokin.
Man Buddy Guy is soooo good and just keep getting better!!

Buddy Guy singing the blues is pure joy. He is in a class all by himself
He is--but this is Junior Wells singing here.
@@CriticalListener buddy starts half way thru you didnt even watch it wells is amazing thou different tones both
I saw Buddy Guy just a few months ago and he still is amazing. Even at 87.
Rough and tough blues from the heart. Good Morning Little Schoolgirl. Classic, raw and wonderful
Can anyone here feels the pain and strength to live from this awesome performance?
Si sente. Non c'è bisogno di capire le parole. E' il sound che le trasmette
I feel it
saw these two at the marble bar in Baltimore remember helping them down the steps from the stage they were fried they gave their all so so blessed to have seen these two ledgens
You don’t get better than this,because this is it!! Junior and buddy what a stellar line up
Memories.......
Was working backstage at the show sound engineering.
Great event!
Became unconditional fan!
Rolf do you know what amp buddy was using for this show?
Tooo good....im from india n im a big fan of the bluse.
This song brings me to my knees!!!!
whitch one ?
Somebody Done Hoodooed the Hoodoo Man
Hits the heart

Have watched a gazillion times PBS American Masters episode " Buddy Guy : the blues chase the blues" ❤️💞😘❤️💞💕.
EXCELLENT 👌👍
@@suzannewhite758 oh lover is si good for My ears
This is a lost genre of music and it is a crying shame. There are great players out there today Kirk Fletcher comes to mind but, nobody today stinks with funk like Buddy!!! Thank God there are recordings of nights like this for the world to have forever.
One grateful person right here trying to play with them.
Funky deep blue soul he is buddy will not be topped
As long as black people exist our art form will exist. There are plenty of people in the world who have this same soul, you just don’t know them. I know plenty.
Amazing blues, Buddy , Junior, and don't forget Bill.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Junior one of the most underrated Blues Singers of all time, listened to the emotions in his song Viet Cong Blues.
There’s that word again…
I saw them in the late 70" in a small bar in Quebec City. Fantastic musicians.
_Goddamn_ , that was a good performance.
this is a THICK one. one of the top blues lineups.
These 2 played of each other so well
Hoodoo Man -- and while Clapton says he stole everything Buddy Guy had, I don't think he has quite exactly the same "attack." Guy is one of a kind.
clapton was too polished. buddy was raw blues
Eric dont come close. The late Mike Bloomfield at times perhaps
Buddy's really good, but his old Chess recordings and the guitar playing he did on them back then are a million times more superior than anything he's done in these last 40 years. He just sounds commercial now.
@@msaintpc I wonder how much of what you are saying is because people like Clapton made Guy's playing familiar. Then Guy felt he had to give the people what they want.

sensational. I'm from Brazil. listening this big mans
They are deep in the heart and soul of the blues .. is that Dallas Taylor and Bill Wyman..man!
It looks like it - great stuff.
Now on to my buddy, Buddy Guy. God damb.... when he started singing, it was, WHAM BAM DAMB.... RIGHT YALL. he'll ya im right. It was awesome .....
2 biggest Artists of the Blues.
what a great pair of performers , understated yet sooo powerfull
Now this is the low down blues. Just what I needed after a pity party
Damm this is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a badass performance by everybody!! Love some Junior and Buddy 🙌😎💙🖤
Love me some Chicago Blues!
It’s hard to find deeper, and more expressive music than being displayed here. This is the best of blues.
Love, love, love it! I listen to this song over and over. Talented, makes me feel proud to be black 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I like that kind of song I love it it’s beautiful music the blues is one of the grooviest music ever heard
Outstanding
Buddy Guy, the "heart' and Junior Wells, the "soul", of the hot, Chicago blues scene, at their best!
Wow Chicago blues is so powerful and dynamic, we play this song with Billy Branch and the S.OB.’s, they played “Hoodoo Man” a lot slower than us so, cool to hear it as a slow blues! 👍🏿
Excellent slow burning BLUES love it
Well that’s my Strat up for sale. I’m never gonna play it as good as that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUNIOR WELLS!.. 09.12.2024
Been listening to the album for years and years; finally seeing a video accompaniment is awesome.
Buddy's got a great guitar sound here!
たまりません❤
First time I heard of Buddy Guy, I was 5 years old and it was in a video clip of him from like 1968...
I was floored by him.
It just does not get any better than this.
Best live act I ever saw.
