Wow. Just wow. This is insanely good. Probably my favorite line-up, with Duke and Doug on guitar - they complimented each other perfectly. Thanks for posting this!
Think I've been fortunate enought to see Kim with most line-ups: Jimmy Vaughan/Nick Curran/Johnny on lead guitar. How lucky am I - considering I live in London, UK. Mind you, I first saw them in 1979, so we have history, as they say. Love to Kim - what a lovely gentleman. Christmas greetings from London, UK
I've followed them since the first album and have been fortunate to see most version of the lineup come through Minneapolis, MN, including the Tigerman tour!
This is KING KRUMPLET FACE comin at ya all the way from the streetz of AZUSA,CALIFORNIA. Jimmy Vaughn and th Fabulous Thunderbirds are the founders of the West Coast Blues movement.
@koolharp Dude, this is played by Kim in 1st position on an A harp....Great song to practice to!!!! Dig how he gets the blow bends on the 10,9.and 8 hole and then flows to the 6 blow...Amazing stufff!!!! Best 1st position player in my book!!!!! wail on
Check out the New Fabulous Thunderbirds I saw them at the Mt Wachusett Blues Festival in Massachusetts , Johnny Moelier is the next Stevie Ray Vaughn , the kid plays with alot of heart .
this is a great line up, perhaps the best lineup after JLV left the band. kid bangham is awesome, but so is the 'duke'! this is a great vid, do you have any more from this concert? thanks for posting.
If you checked out the band from 95-thru 2001 ..they had one bad ass guitar player ..and his name was Kid Ramos. On some of those nights seeing them play live back then.. I may even taking Ramos over Jimmie Vaughan. Kid Bangham who played in the early 90s for a couple of years was hot as stew too. There's no Jimmie Lee..lol.
hey thanks Kurtis .... I thought it was played on a D harp .... and I almost got all the notes out of it .... even the low end .... but thought maybe he played cross harp on a LOW D .... now I'll have to try it on the A harp in 1st pos
What I meant was this kid has a style vey simular to SRV and about as much heart. I got to meet the wghole band after the show , and They all were really nice guys .
Do you guys read the description? Fab T-birds with Duke Robilard and kid Bangham! JLV was long gone.. Duke came in for a couple of years for the fun. Do you all know him? As John Hammond says "One of God's five greatest guitarists" Kid is no slouch either!
what kind of harp is Kim playing ... I play this tune on a diatonic hohner special 20 in the key of "D" ... but can't get all the notes ... it can't be a chromatic ... you can't bend notes like that on a chromatic
Ramos is sure enough hot but as hard as he tries he is still trying to fill in for Jimmie and noone can do that. You will be hard pressed to find any guitar player who had that subtle sizzle that JLV had in his prime. Not to mention the guy just emaninated his own brand of total COOL. And always
thanks - didnt have harps to check, missed earlier comment - i will say the low flat seven, whole seven, your hole 3 draws in first pos - as tight as those of mr magic dick salwitz - whose 2004 show in Scotia turned my head as much as H Levys masterclass here-- but kim's melody flow is better that the late mr paul's, phrasing is funkier in my view - anyway im thinking..cross harp is overrated all in all

This whole album is gold 👍
Audio sounds great, too. The band's best lineup, IMHO.
I could sit and watch Jimmy play all day.some really good understated chops.hes the king of cool.. just a natural.
Wow. Just wow. This is insanely good. Probably my favorite line-up, with Duke and Doug on guitar - they complimented each other perfectly. Thanks for posting this!
Great blues harp and driving rhythm. Very underplayed which adds to the whole deal
This can rock on for ages, wouldn't hurt my feelin's at all. Great stuff!!!
Love this line up....
Jesus! This is fantastic! Fran Christina was the BEST Thunderbirds drummer!!!
Love Franny but Buck was the best blues drummer the TBirds ever had.Ask Jimmie.
How does anyone dislike this song? Love it.
What a great band,one of the best Kim has ever put together.
I’m telling you these guys know how to keep the party going.,my kind of band

This is some of the most precise first position playing I've ever heard.Kim Wilson is just great!
They can't stop rock and roll. Just enjoy it!
Man, thanks so much for uploading! It's getting harder and harder to find good t-birds stuff on here!
beautiful example of first position harp playing love Kim man!
So I can't start the day without this mesmerizing music...thanks Thunderbirds...
How can you describe the music, Maybe rockin blues Hilly billy boogie, great Band, jimmie on guitar and the special voice Kim Wilson.

Duke robillard great guitarrist.
Little Walter would of loved Kim Wilsons groove. Would of loved to hear these two jam together.
Jummie's favorite compliment came from Muddy.When he saw the original lineup, he said Jimmie sounded like his guitar player, Jimmy Rodgers.
Check out the New Fabulous Thunderbirds I saw them at the Mt Wachusett Blues Festival in Massachusetts , Johnny Moelier is the next Stevie Ray Vaughn , the kid plays with alot of heart .
That's not Jimmie, that's Kid Bangham. This was right after Jimmie left the group to do Family Style. Not a bad incarnation of the band.
going to see them at the Ferry in glasgow 18th ,fantstic music & great musicians
Such a great version of the Thunderbirds.
this is a great line up, perhaps the best lineup after JLV left the band. kid bangham is awesome, but so is the 'duke'! this is a great vid, do you have any more from this concert? thanks for posting.
Fantastic!!! First position harp exploited to its full extent!
Never stop rocking
One word for it; brilliant.
How about inspired? Genius? TOUCHED BY GOD!!!
@@williamrobinson7061 he is also pretty humble. Excellent vocals and on harp. And for me, sexy too.

I thnk I've probably watched this clip 100 times because the harmonica playing is THAT good.
you are correct sir!!
and nowadays, Kim says he's still learning and figuring the instrument out
You got that right X3!!!
hey thanks Kurtis .... I thought it was played on a D harp .... and I almost got all the notes out of it .... even the low end .... but thought maybe he played cross harp on a LOW D .... now I'll have to try it on the A harp in 1st pos

To kool.....I cant stop rocking...
Close - I'm his brother, Paul, but we do love Preston
nice groove!
If there is a Heaven....this show will be non stop.
Totally agree.
What a cool place to be. !!
It's tough to get 2 guitars to play this well together.
Always great......the real thing!!!!!
Det fetaste bandet som spelar spelar jävligt go musik!
Brilliant that harp.
Just likje Little Walter did when I saw him in my childhood with my brother,thanks

Great post, hy5!!!
He's definitely got the right voice.
@PHubb I love Billy Preston Too! He was the bad ass Keyboardist! Just kidding, I do love Billy Preston, but I got the jist.
Masterful Mouthie! Fab T Birds rule!
The Master
VG, but where are the girls?
j'aime le son de son harmo vu en concert à fréjus et gratuit sponsoriser par malboro!
And I miss his mustache too!

koolharp he’s playing with an A harp sir first position

Guitar Dave look up Kim Wilson he still playing all over..

Positional magic.
Kim alias king Wilson

That's not Jimmie...When Jimmie left they added two guitar players..
Ramos is sure enough hot but as hard as he tries he is still trying to fill in for Jimmie and noone can do that. You will be hard pressed to find any guitar player who had that subtle sizzle that JLV had in his prime. Not to mention the guy just emaninated his own brand of total COOL.
And always
Kim is allways a Killer, but Duke Robillard looks not so happy !
No, you misread him.
NO FISH TODAY!!!
1st position pwns!!
no fish today!!!
you are not going to hear a hipper straight harp solo this side of paul delay.. sounds like b flat.. a flat ? that harp is rich..didnt see duke w capo
ds just play the harp joetheshaker-RBLEGEND
@koolharp
O
thanks - didnt have harps to check, missed earlier comment - i will say the low flat seven, whole seven, your hole 3 draws in first pos - as tight as those of mr magic dick salwitz - whose 2004 show in Scotia turned my head as much as H Levys masterclass here-- but kim's melody flow is better that the late mr paul's, phrasing is funkier in my view - anyway im thinking..cross harp is overrated all in all
That's because they NEEDED two to replace that man.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?!?!?! I CAME LOOKING FOR THUNDERBIRDS NOT THIS BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the only BS here is your statement
Tracytron | Minecraft, let's play's and toy reviews BS? Man where in the hell have you been?
What is wrong with you, sir? Tardive dyskinesia? Cognitive dissonance? Bad pot of gumbo?
