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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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...
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! 👍🏿
Why don't today's record labels find young black blues artist now ,they still out there .No one can sing and play with soul like them and those born in the experience. Just my opinion 60 year old white man can't sing the blues as good .
Kingfish Ingram, who I saw live, is getting some recognition. But it's true it's not enough for many of these artists. Funny thing it's actually Buddy Guy that's helping these younger artists find their voice. Buddy is an amazing person who I met in person. He cares about the future. Ingram often accompanies him these days.
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!
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...
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
Brilliant & amazing and so moving is there anyone out there in the current sea of dross pretending to be musicians today could even lick these guys boots , hmmm no we love you Buddy
Slow, painful wailing voice, harp and guitar expresses blueness actually felt. When you're down, energy for exceptional speed is lacking. Fast blues is boogie blues for shaking the blues out of yourself.
Buddys part builds up like a rocket taking off amd just keeps going to the drop , this shit is so powerful it can generate electricity and run a country
I remember back in '74, when all my friends were gaga over Led Zeppelin. But I tell you what after all these years, these guys definitely outshine what the Zep was putting out back then.

Two absolute blues legends ! RIP , Junior and Buddy keep on rockin’ in 2022!

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.

Yes
The way he controls the guitar is just amazing. One of the best ever.

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
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!
Lord have mercy. I don't think there is a guitar player today that can play with this soul.

@@buddyboy6071 he got old, the flesh
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.
Love, love, love it! I listen to this song over and over. Talented, makes me feel proud to be black 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Amazing blues, Buddy , Junior, and don't forget Bill.❤❤❤❤❤❤
been lucky to live in Chicago my whole life. saw these 2 many times live. nothin like it ever again. this IS the blues
My God ! Junior Wells was WONDERFUL. Buddy IS PURE ENERGY too! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Junior Wells's singing is so good - I'd really only thought of him as a harp virtuoso.
Man Buddy Guy is soooo good and just keep getting better!!
2 Blues Icon!!! Buddy Guy my favorite guitarist of all time!!!! Jr & Buddy a perfect combination of straight funky down home blues!!!!!!
This song brings me to my knees!!!!
whitch one ?
Somebody Done Hoodooed the Hoodoo Man
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
Buddy guy and Jr. wells are two fantastic musicians. They are blues legends.
Tru dat.amazing show.cheers
Yes yes. And Fantastic together
These fellas both singing their asses off right here. With authority.
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.
Actually they are both at their best, and Juniors and Buddys outfits are smokin.
Again, is this not the greatest 12 min of life you can spend? Thank you gentleman
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!
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
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.
@@johnstewart7025 I think there's probably much merit to your opinion.
A true force of nature and a sweet compliment to mankind 🌻:)🌹
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
These 2 played of each other so well
sensational. I'm from Brazil. listening this big mans
what a great pair of performers , understated yet sooo powerfull
You don’t get better than this,because this is it!! Junior and buddy what a stellar line up
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.
the emotional intensity is simply spellbinding.
Junior Wells was one talented dude!
this is a THICK one. one of the top blues lineups.
Junior one of the most underrated Blues Singers of all time, listened to the emotions in his song Viet Cong Blues.
Now this is the low down blues. Just what I needed after a pity party
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.
Tooo good....im from india n im a big fan of the bluse.
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!!
_Goddamn_ , that was a good performance.
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?
Probably one of America's greatest gifts to the world!
I like that kind of song I love it it’s beautiful music the blues is one of the grooviest music ever heard
Rough and tough blues from the heart. Good Morning Little Schoolgirl. Classic, raw and wonderful
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...
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?🎉❤🎉
Junior can really sing !!!
Both of 'em can SANG and wail!
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.
I saw them in the late 70" in a small bar in Quebec City. Fantastic musicians.
2 biggest Artists of the Blues.
Damm this is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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! 👍🏿
Such a badass performance by everybody!! Love some Junior and Buddy 🙌😎💙🖤
Yeah I reckon Junior is at his best in this show. Even taking into account the older stuff.
Outstanding
There are no words to describe these beauties. Wow.... Buddy... WOW!!!!
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.
Esse vídeo é uma aula de blues!!!

Black Mens Soul! Oh ,no words no thinking, feel the Spirit.
Buddy Guy, the "heart' and Junior Wells, the "soul", of the hot, Chicago blues scene, at their best!
Buddy Guy has aged well. He doesn't look a whole lot older today than he does in this video from 50 years ago.
It just does not get any better than this.
Been listening to the album for years and years; finally seeing a video accompaniment is awesome.
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!
Love me some Chicago Blues!
Awesome!
Excellent slow burning BLUES love it
Best live act I ever saw.
So glad I posted on this one and someone commented on my post, cause here I am again! Holding up my hands!

# cannot like this
for my cousin Carey...who just passed over ........
I love this!!!!
great combo.
Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton : This Video shows the difference it’s the feeling Buddy has that you cannot duplicate
love it
It’s hard to find deeper, and more expressive music than being displayed here. This is the best of blues.
Mercy, that's good.
badass blues band ever
Brilliant & amazing and so moving is there anyone out there in the current sea of dross pretending to be musicians today could even lick these guys boots , hmmm no we love you Buddy
Amo demais tudo isso.. !
Saw them at Newport Folk Festival in 1968.
たまりません❤
Buddy guy rules and I wish I could have seen jonuier wells. Sam
Yes they are the blues
Slow, painful wailing voice, harp and guitar expresses blueness actually felt. When you're down, energy for exceptional speed is lacking. Fast blues is boogie blues for shaking the blues out of yourself.

I had plans for tonight… got stuck listening to Blues….
Fantastic.
