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 RU-vid.
People really get hung up on the thumbs down. Why care ? It's just some jerks who like to get a rise out of people . They like being obnoxious . The more people talk about it, the more they give thumbs down.
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!
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.)
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
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.
Awesome blue's. I would really like to see "The Blues," have a strong come back in 2024, and going forward. I miss the long ago bluesmen, from back in the day. There was such a strong appreciation of the art back then. The "blue's bug" had me, by the time I was 8 yrs old. I was just a kid, loving and somehow already appreciating the deep down feelings that those songs would cause my heart to feel. It was the 1960's and I would listen to my radio, on an AM station in Dallas Texas. I would be playing with my Barbies, and listening to that music in my room at the same time. I just loved that soul moving music. There was nothing like it! My parents even took me to New Orleans one summer, so I could watch it be played in person. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world! It was so cool. 🙏❤️😎
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
I saw this pair open for the Rolling Stones a few years earlier than this performance. October 5th, 1970 to be exact. They completely, utterly and totally stole the show. Real hard core Chicago electric blues played loud as hell. Remember it to this day...
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.
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.
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...
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
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!!
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.
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.
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! 👍🏿
Yes, THE Bill Wyman on bass. THE Dallas Taylor, drums (CSNY); THE LEGENDARY Pinetop Perkins, piano; Terry Taylor, guitar (cofounder with Wyman in 1997 of The Rhythm Kings.)
Buddy Guy, is a real nice man, Jr. Wells should have given James Brown a run for the money but he didn't, he was like me. Buddy Guy, is a teacher, he is the best and he knows when the best comes to town, Buddy Guy is like me, he teaches. I am like Buddy Guy and Jr. Wells. I love both of them like they were my reason for living.
@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...
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!
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
Bill Wyman on Bass? I don't recognize the drummer. Sounding a lot like It's My Life Baby, my favorite Junior album and some of my all time favorite Buddy Guy playing. All we need is Stomach Ache
