    I saw John Lee Hooker around this period at The Palace Theater in LA. Sold out with a bunch of kids ready to Boogie! The curtain parts and there is the Hook sitting on a cafeteria chair with pretty much that outfit on, but with a black hat. He proceeds to sing the saddest slowest, blues number about divorcing his wife, it was awesome, pulled the rug out from the whole audience! Welcome to the Blues! He had them in the palm of his hand for the rest of the evening. Classic

    Thank you, God, for those white musicians who recognized the old generation blues greats. I grew up listening to the blues. My mother was a blues fan. I was a little girl and I learned to like the blues, too. People criticized us for playing the devil's music. Some of my friends' parents would not allow them to listen to the blues. Around 1968 white kids starting listening to these blues artists. All of a sudden it was en vogue to to say you liked the blues.

He opened the show followed by Canned Heat doing the boogie/blues they were famous for. When they ended their set they honored their hero John Lee Hooker by having him return to the stage where they backed John Lee for about an hour long set!! Absolutely blew the roof off of the place! It doesn't get better than that.
