Boom Boom - John Lee Hooker live on the set of the Blues Brothers (full version) 

That photo of the blues brothers and John is glorious

"You dig that?!" - Yes sir. Yes sir, we did.

No matter the time or style, a jam is a jam.

Somebody out there on the internet introduced me to the concept of leaving a comment only for the reason that when someone else comments it will remind me to come back to this gem of a post. Thank you John

damn that's a beautiful dirty sound

This belongs in a museum

3:01 You can just see how Dan and John are just memorized by being in Hooker's presence. Anyone with a passion, doesn't matter what it is, from guitar playing to martial arts to cooking to tennis to painting, knows the awe of being in the presence of a power house in their passion like JL Hooker.

THIS IS THE SONG AND MOVIE THAT STARTED ME ON MY BLUES JOURNEY 37 YEARS OR SO AGO. THIS SCENE IS THE EPITOMY OF COOL. BLUES BROTHERS. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FILM!!!

This is the definition of legend.

My foot is bouncing ! Head too , Boom Boom Boom Boom

He may have passed away in 2001, but as far as I'm concerned, he is a Living Legend. God-like even. He will still be relevant in the 22nd century, I have NO doubt. Massive thanks for this....

Epic film... Best version of this song

God bless John Lee Hooker

Wow! Just finished watching the same scene as it appeared in the movie, and as great as it is, this bootleg version sounds even better! The sound is richer and closer, at least on my little speakers. Good job to whoever recorded this and saved it.

Long live the Blues of Chicago and Maxwell Street Market!!!

There's cassette tapes ... and then there's SOUL TAPES

Fucking phenomenal, what a master.

Straight Up BADASS.

I was looking for this version for a long time and finally found it. And I'm glad I did.

I always wanted to hear the complete version from the movie. Best performance of this song live or studio.

Sweet home Chicago is by far the best song in the movie. Perfectly suited the ‘chase’ on the way to the county assessor’s office. “The use of deadly force in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers, has been approved…..” brilliant.

Yes we dig it! Things you do not hear anymore like lets get your groove on,shut the back door,Peace out, love not war,groovy,don't come knockin if you see this car rockin,Let's roll! Keep on truckin.

One of my favorite movies of all time. I cannot count the number of times I have watched this movie. Every day when it was out on VHS! Everyday sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.

At the end a picture with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd

Total coolness is oozing out of my wall as we listen to this jewel

One of the pioneers of electric blues! A giant no doubt!

Complete classic right here!!! Priceless gems and treasures always will be remembered!!

I wish i was from this age... alone with my best budy on a lonely road in a loud big block v8 and some cigaretts in our mouths.... while this song is playing in the radio.

KING john lee.👏👏👏

Glorious. Raggedy precision. Greatness.

Boom boom boom boom

JOHN LEE HOOKER THE LEGEND !!!!OHHH YEAH g

JLH was the 3rd blues artist I saw live, in performance; 1st, B.B. King at a dinner club, then, Muddy Waters twice, at a university theatre & finally, John Lee Hooker, in a subterranean blues dive...the best kinda ambience! We were only a couple of yards away, post-high school girls were literally swooning for him. This was only a couple of years after this movie, Hooker had his mojo working overtime...a real bluesman, in full command‼️ Years later, my sister's colleague gave her a photo for myself, from her best friend, who was married to JLH. He was posing on his driveway, in front of his new Cadillac. Weekly, I learned he'd jam with a group of women, at their home. 🇨🇦

I love how some versions use 12 bar form at various points, but this one's just relentless on the 1 👌

With the Legendary Blues Band: Big Walter Horton on harmonica; Luther Johnson on guitar; Pinetop Perkins on piano; Charles Calamese on bass guitar; Willie Big-Eyes Smith on drums.

This is tied for my favorite John Lee Hooker with 'the bank robbery' on a movie soundtrack for 'the Hot Spot', the bank robbery is John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis and Taj Mahal!

One of those cases where the first version of a song i heard is still my favourite. Back in the days of yore I recorded the film on VHS (remember them?) when it aired on TV (shitty quality to begin with), and then pulled the song onto cassette (remember them?). Cool to hear this version of the song complete and pure. However, to me it feels almost incomplete without the sound of the sizzling sausages at one point.

John Lee appeared on Thank Your Lucky Stars (British Pop Tv Show) back in the 1960’s. They made the mistake of giving him his bottle of whiskey (part of his contract) before the show……drunk as a skunk he still performed Boom Boom perfectly.

I wish I was half as talented or half as cool as John Lee Hooker.

What COOL sounds like.

Truely amazing master of the blues im so glad i found this full recording

Epic music and movie.

..... Blues Brothers movie was (is) a great film, with some of The Greatest Performers Ever ... ! ... ..... 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎹 🎷 🎤 🎺 🎸 🪘 🪗 🎚️ 🎛️ 🎙️ 🇺🇸 .....

3:43 min of epic coolness... then "Cut!" - YOU DIG THAT!!! save it save it save it! Yeah Man, We Dig That!!!! 😎

Great that this exists. That "SNL sketch movie" was certainly a miracle, it is legit up there with the best films of all time. I loved it as a kid, but now it feels even more magical because I've listened to and learned to appreciate all those musicians that just keep popping up as the movie goes on. "We already have the best band ever, but how about we also put James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker and Cab Calloway in to perform musical numbers?" It sounds like a fantasy, but it actually happened.

One literally can hear and feel the fun they had playing that song ... what a beautiful version of an already mighty song ! Thanks for finding and uploading !

Rock and Roll!

Old school music is wayyyyy better than today's garbage music this is real talented iconic musical

Elwood: Yep...

WOW I am in tears thanks for this I never imagined this had been heard!

Best version

John Lee Hooker, love you! One of the greatest...

The Man had STYLE !

Awesome

Brilliant !

Never got to see him in person. I'd have bought Mr. John lunch if it had played out right

Only heard this through watching the Blue's Brothers. What a tune.

"yup"

Rip decon jones - rip dad - - rip the hook - long live the blues

Great version.

Best jam in the movie

To put it in your words John lee “wherever you are; I hope your restin at ease”!

I also dig The Animals version of BB. But John Lee's The Man!

Thank you so much for uploading this ❤❤

saw the blues bros on a double bill with animal house back in the early 1980s. walked down the road to HMV and bought the blues bros album. this song aint on it!!!!! great album never the less. got me into the Blues.

And there's Pinetop Perkins on the keyboard!!!

So good!

Huv u all seen Cadillac Records

You know the weird thing is that John Lee Hooker lived, played and recorded most of his music in Detroit yet folks call it Chicago blues.

Dan and John remind me of SKA musicians.

legend 🙌🔥

Another bad man, reminds me of those hole in the walls, had a good time, fish fry chicken plate, jukebox and a stiff shot of that mon-key 😆 gips place, red wolf lol 😆 😋 yeah baby!

🥰😍the best

Great band.

This man had so many talents! No one ever sounded like him.I hear this song and think of NCIC New Orleans!Good show but,not happy after they killed off one of the main characters Lucas Black(as Detective Chris LaSalle) OMG he was so good with that New Orleans accent! Been watching him since he starred in movies as a youngster!OMG!😣

damn . yesssssssssssssssssssssssss. NUFF RESPEKT !

Yeah

A number of years ago my wife wanted us to do a couples massage at a spa in downtown. So we went, it was nice, and coming out we were looking for something to do next and I suggested we walk a few blocks to Buddy Guy’s. Sure enough, maybe the first or second song the band played was this one. I told my wife, “We went to your spa, this is mine.”

ALESSANDRO DE SOUZA Alessandro de Souzza firme

There were 2 john lee hooker songs in blues brothers boom boom and boogie chillun

Why wasn't this included in the soundtrack?

Apart from 'Sweet Home Chicago' this is the only real Blues song in the entire movie. All the others are obviously wonderful tracks but they fall into Soul/Rhythm'n'Blues or Rock'n'Roll.

👍👍

Canned Heat did an album with Hooker. It was "Hooker n' Heat". Big album, Alan, Bob, Fido and the band, pretty sure I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
