John Popper's ability to transform this blusey sound with harmonica and angelic singing had me "Hook"ed last time I listened to Blues Traveler, so I listened and we're coming back around again! This time, I wanted to see a live version to accompany his awesome sound. Not disappointed!

I have a recommendation for another Phil Collins song when he was the lead singer of Genesis. The song "Driving the Last Spike" is about the real history of the 19th century railway workers, known as the Navvies, who built Britain's railways. The song's lyrics, written by Phil Collins, tell the story of an unnamed railway worker through the form of a soliloquy or internal monologue. The song is about both the tragic and triumphant stories of these workers. I realize this probably won't be seen. I've seen that you enjoy emotional songs and I thought you might enjoy it.

John Popper turned the harmonica into a completely different instrument. He made me realize I had never heard it played that well.

@chrismaverick9828 21 день назад

I don't think it was so much skill alone that shaped his sound, as there have been some incredibly skilled harmonica players. I think it was more the style of the music, the faster and more dynamic phrasing, causing Popper to draw more out of it, even wring it out of it. Most times you hear a harmonic in music it is slower and more rhythmic. Popper showed how intense the instrument could be while still being clearly musical.

Blues Traveler frontman John Popper was caught in the "friend zone" with the band's original bass player, Felicia Lewis, when he wrote this song. The group's guitarist, Chan Kinchla, told the story in a 2012 Songfacts interview: "The song's an unrequited love song about John and our original bass player, Felicia, who he kind of had a crush on. She was actually classically trained as a violinist, and she was just playing bass for fun because she was friends with everyone." Kinchla says that Felicia was a great student and eventually became a doctor - her calling was medicine, not music. When Bobby Sheehan was ready to take over on bass, Felicia stepped aside. Says Kinchla, "It's a very amicable situation. John always had kind of a crush on her, but they were friends, as well. So that song's from that whole affair. They're still very close. It's just an unrequited love song. Source: Songfacts

Quite beautiful actually to be able to express how you feel to someone that surely loved him back in a different way. Something freeing about being able to express it honestly and directly and even though his affections weren't returned, he lived his authentic life because of that openness and it led to this great work of art as well.

What a fun coincidence. We were fortunate enough to see Blues Traveler just last night at Gruene Hall, the oldest honkytonk in Texas. The whole band seemed to really enjoy the entire evening, and their performance was brilliant. It was thirty years ago, almost to the day (May 14, 1994), my wife and I last saw Blues Traveler live. It was at the State Theater in Minneapolis -- Sheryl Crow opened for them back then. The intimacy of last night's venue (Gruene Hall) provided a vastly different experience from that of a large theater. What a magical evening. ☺

I saw Blues Traveler in Jersey after Popper had his motorcycle crash back in '92. I think it was the H.O.R.D.E. tour. He wheeled out onto stage in a wheelchair, then played the show from a stool. I seem to remember that after the show, he was wheeled past the edge of the stage hi-fiving people. It was an awesome show!

Late to Blues Traveler and I thank Elizabeth so much for opening that door. I had heard of John Popper but had nooooo idea.. Today it struck me that SRV : guitar = John Popper : harmonica. And that doesn't even take into account the songwriting and vocals. Just pure bliss.

@ricktreat 21 день назад

@@ijustwanttonap There are a lot of great harmonica players in blues and country. I've never heard anyone play a diatonic harmonica in quite the style that Popper does. Well, Stevie Wonder, but every time I've seen him he was playing a chromatic harmonica, which is a whole different ballgame. I'm sure he could have done it with a diatonic as well, as he is a musical god. Playing a diatonic harmonica using all single notes so quickly is rare, though. I don't like to use labels like best, but I'd certainly say that Popper is one of the best I've ever heard.

Popper is a once in a lifetime talent. Highly underrated beautiful story teller

@OmniphonProductions 20 дней назад

Most 10-hole diatonic players only _occasionally_ explore above the 6th hole. John Popper, however, spends _most_ of his time in the top octave. This _alone_ is noteworthy, but he has also _mastered_ that space, particularly the Major Pentatonic Scale! Much of his lightning fast playing is rooted in "tricks" that exploit the nature of the instrument's tuning. For instance, on a diatonic harmonica tuned in the key of C, blow notes all fall within a C major chord, and draw notes all fall within a G7add9 chord. This means one can create very fast arpeggios with _controlled glissandos_ while either blowing or drawing. Having said that, _precision_ at such high speeds requires so much _practice_ that most players will never achieve his level. (See Also: Charlie McCoy, Pat Ramsey, Sugar Blue, Adam Gussow, Norton Buffalo, Jason Ricci, Rachelle Plas, Howard Levy, DeFord Bailey...for starters...all _lightning_ harmonica players!) As for his singing, I noticed that he spent most of the vocal reaching upward toward the mic, _but_ on his "money notes" his chin dropped, and his face became perpendicular to the mic. The resonance threading you discussed (great phrase, by the way) comes into play here because his resonance audibly and visibly changes...in simple terms...from his face to his "attic". BTW: Coffee with a bit of half and half, most days. Chamomile tea when my voice needs to recuperate. Mocha on weekends! P.S. Unrelated Note: I love your nail color!

John doesn’t have anything attached to his harmonica but he does have a lot of things attached to the microphone.

If you like Blues Traveller you may also want to check out the Canadian band “Barenaked Ladies”. If you ever watched “The Big Bang Theory” then you are familiar with them as they wrote and performed the theme song. You might enjoy reviewing their songs “One Week” or “If I Had a Million Dollars”. They posted those songs and others in their acoustic “Bathroom Sessions” on RU-vid about 17 years ago.

Fun fact: “If I had a million dollars” was released in 1992. Today, with inflation, it would have to be called “If I had 2 million dollars”. I think my favourite performance of that song is the one a fan shot when Weird Al got on stage with them. They were playing in a small park to a tiny crowd with kids dancing on the lawn in front. The whole vibe of the performance fit them perfectly. Even better than when I saw them just starting out in our campus bar. It didn’t matter if they were filling an arena or playing in a small park, they just had fun!

@wvman2374 21 день назад

Harmonica tends to have the player drawing in breath more then breathing it out; its much easier to bend notes drawing in than blowing out. So usually the longer held notes are drawing in. It takes some getting used to, but does lead to some incredible breath control.

@MonkeyJedi99 21 день назад

Another fun thing to do with a harmonica? Buy a cheap one, zip tie it under the front bumper of a friend's car with the 'mouth' side facing forward. - Be prepared for petroleum jelly on your home's outside doorknobs...

@officialfanofrichiebricker8324 9 дней назад

This guy has a very god breathing technique cause the verses are crazy long runs without break that make the rest of us Quickly take deep breathes to sing this one and others. Just because theres many notes instead of holding one does not make it less Operatic. Then you can talk about ending those runs and immediately going on a harmonica solo and right back to singing and those solos can be compared to the most melodic guitar solos of the best Rock guitarists. DUDE IS JUST AWESOME! And then theres his lyrics like no one else with over the top expressions to sarcasms and some inside jokes and if you have a lyric sheet or not it will be just as entertaining and great fun.

I’d love to see Elizabeth take a look at Counting Crows who are of a similar vein, my favourite song of theirs being Palisades Park.

@scottNNJ 21 день назад

Agree about Counting Crows. Adam Duritz has such a captivating voice, though I go back to the August and Everything After Album. “Raining in Baltimore”, though not a commercial hit - is incredible.

Going from memory here, but I believe his harmonica mic is a Shure SM-58 that has in-line volume controls and a few effects that are modified and attached to the mic right around the connector. And then covered in electrical tape. That's why it looks like a big contraption. Harmonica playing parallels quite a bit with singing. You have to have good breath control (the way Popper plays is pretty much controlled hyperventilation), embouchure is extremely important for a fuller tone. Your tongue is constantly moving to bend certain notes. And your mouth shape determines your ability to play single notes or chords. Then there is a whole style called tongue-blocking to play octaves or to give different effects.

Whoa. Wasn't expecting this. God hard to believe this song is 30 years old now. Please react to Running Wild- Riding The Storm. It's the beginnings of "pirate metal" although the band (and song) itself is speed metal. Rolf Kasparek has such an underrated voice.

You are one of a kind, and so is Popper. Are you always this happy and upbeat and cheerful? Because I don't understand how that's possible. I'm probably more depressed than happy. But Blues Travelers makes me happy.

Incredible as it may seem, the multi-faceted voice of Paul McCartney is still either underappreciated or unheard to this day-especially his post Beatles work with Wings. His vocal range is extraordinary on the live album "Wings Over America". How many out there have heard this album? Elizabeth, have you? Everyone needs to hear his voice in his prime!

@RobTaylor-cs3bz 21 день назад

Elizabeth, you want us to get specific about why we like an artist. Okay. Paul McCartney: vocal range (from ballads to rockers); bass and piano playing; and variety in his songs that include tempo changes, key changes, vocal changes within songs, song style changes within songs, and the use of brass sections. All of this can be heard on the live album "Wings Over America". I think you, and your channel community, would enjoy it.

Time to come back to the Metal Queens Lovebites and see virtuoso Miyako on piano and guitar - Swan Song Chopin Intro live with lyrics (Zepp DiverCity 2020)

@MetalPersonJ 22 дня назад

While I love that song, I think the song "A Frozen Serenade" from "Heavy Metal Never Dies Live In Tokyo" accomplishes a showcase on Miyako on piano, but is also a much more dynamic song.

@metalmark1214 22 дня назад

@@MetalPersonJI wouldn't mind that one either. I especially like the part in the middle with the piano/ acoustic guitar interlude. On a side note, I was watching a rerun of Barney Jones early this morning and near the beginning of the show they were playing the same Chopin piano piece that Miyako plays before Swan Song. It got my attention immediately.

I absolutely love the smell of coffee but, cannot stand the bitter taste. As for tea, I prefer it sweet and iced. I've loved this song since its debut and every time I hear it, it means something a little different. Popper's breath control is extraordinary. Thank you. I hope you're well.

@aikozutigana8465 21 день назад

I'm so glad i found this channel and it's wonderful to see Blues Traveler getting some love here. I heard this album when it was first released and John's harmonica playing grabbed a hold of me and never let go. Beyond that, though, it's the stories they tell in their songs and the energy they give. Also, I used to love coffee but coffee doesn't love me anymore -- it's hard on my stomach so I've begun drinking tea in the mornings instead

@madsquishy3410 19 дней назад

He is truly the epitome of "being one with your instrument". I've never heard a harmonica sound so complicated and hauntingly beautiful and the way his voice falls off sometimes at the end of his phrases does remind you of how the harmonica sounds. I used to listen to their music on repeat back in the 90s and to see it on your channel today is just so special. If anyone can appreciate how unique and awesome this guy's voice is, it's definitely you, Elizabeth.

I have always loved the way John uses triplets to full effect to make the rhythm buoyant and fun. Often there is a juxtaposition of the feeling of the music and deep, thought provoking lyricism. Blues Traveler has a great way of making intelligent music that draws you in. And it's always a good time. Thanks for sharing your analysis...the music and your unfettered joy made me smile!

I sooo love and appreciate the way and time you take to describe how sound is produced. As someone who tries to feel the way I move my 'vocal tract' I feel like I always learn something when I watch your videos. I love the way Blues Traveller switches between the long and staccato notes - have loved him since the Blues Brothers!! Think you would love Mr Big 'Addicted to that Rush' - has some great guitar for you!

Thanks so much Elizabeth! You're timing of this video is perfect! After a nearly 20yr absence, I'll be re-entering the local karaoke scene Sat night, and oddly enough, this was a song I'd considered trying, but never got around to. John Popper usually sings in a key that's comfortable for me; it was keeping up with the bloody lyrics that stalled me! Nearly 20 years later and quitting smoking; who knows? I may just give it a go! Thanks for the karmic incentive! Love you as always! Reverend JD(In karaoke circles)
