Buddy Guy is 87 as of August 2023 and still performs occasionally. Mick jagger is now 80 and still going. I'm tired of trolls who make nasty remarks about their age. Let's give them the respect they deserve.
when they started touring the US, they would have blues players like Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf and many more join them on stage. These guys were either forgotten or not known by a white audience and the Stones helped revitalize their careers.
When they were first starting to take off, they were asked who their influences were. Muddy, Buddy, B.B. Wolf, and more were the people they named so that's where I went to find out who those people were. I haven't been right since. It wasn't just the Stones either. The Beatles, Yardbirds, Spencer Davis Group and many more were mesmerized by the blues sound. Clapton even left the Yardbirds because they were moving toward a more "pop" sound and, in his words, were sounding more like white kids acting like a blues band. Just listen to most of the early "British Invasion" bands. The blues has its fingerprints all over their work.
Watched an interview with Buddy where he said that the guitar wasn't even signed until the Stones stopped at Legends in 2015 when Buddy was there and KR signed it then.
This is something special. The respect you see The Stones have for Buddy and the respect Buddy has for the Stones brings out the best in all of them. Music can unite humanity no matter what race, religion,color or sex.
+Al Utes Career wise, they're practically contemporaries, considering when Buddy was playing with Muddy Waters, then his kinda low years in the 60s, then getting picked up and dropped by the white blues crowd, but he knows when to catch a wave, and his people know how to keep him on to of it!
I saw him play 2 feet from me at his own bar in chicago in front of maybe 150 people. He has in his late 70s and to the day is the coolest memory I have in music.
Dude! He is also my coolest memory I have in music too! He wasn’t scheduled to perform at his club one night. He was at the bar and I was able to get his autograph on a VHS tape I purchased earlier in the night at his club. Later he suddenly appeared on stage and performed two songs. The place froze and the air was electric when he performed. Blew my mind.
When a guitar-player gives another guitar-player his guitar, this the utmost, important statement he can make to honor that musician. This is why Keith gives his guitar to Buddy at the end of the song.
And could also be Keith's way of saying: "I can't even really call myself a guitar player compared to you, so....here... you take this, you can put it to better use than I can.
Fuckn hell people this is history on stage... this man has played for over 60 years. He played the scene all through racism and the civil rights movement. I'm talking bout started out in the fucking 50s!!! That's INSANE!!! We are truly blessed he is still with us! I'd love to see him in person at least once... a true legend... maybe the only REAL living legend we have in music anymore... good god I love Buddy Guy!!
OMG I literally just came here to call attention to those EXACT same moments of how GOD DAMNED AWESOME this song is from the Shine a Light movie!! But, may elaborate just a tiny bit? Keith circling Buddy Guy like a great white shark @ 1:40 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Charlie Watts' expression after Keith gave Buddy Guy his guitar @ 5:32⭐⭐⭐⭐ And of course Buddy "motherf*cking Guy!! Absolutely my favorite song in the movie (and that's a bold statement)!
I love the Stones, but Buddy stands like an oak tree in the midst of seedlings on that stage. I saw Buddy live in 2014 and '15. He entered the stage, shuffling like a geezer, and proceeded to blow us all right through the back wall, with his voice and his guitar. He IS the last real blues man standing.
If Keef remember’s, you are special! - Keith with Buddy Guy?! Frick me, that is stunning! (And Ronnie could’ve showed off & shaded them but didn’t). Anyway, 3 dudes trading blues licks?
@@devinbret As Buddy was by Mick's note perfect harmonica response (live, on the spot, impromptu) to Buddy's guitar lick immediately beforehand - blew me away and Buddy's cool out acknowledgement - We are all in the same groove together.............'cos, we are all ONE
A note on the cinematography of this scene.This is the most badass scene Marty ever filmed: More badass than Johnny Boy walking the streets of NY in slo-mo. More than Travis Bickle's taxi rolling slowly at night and getting soaked by those black boys playing with the fire hydrant. More than Joe Pesci repeatedly stabbing the fat guy with a pen, blood gushing out. More than Pesci's (and brother ) death by baseball bat and burial. More than Jack Nicholson doing a rat impression. More than Daniel Day-Lewis with a bloody apron. The way he shoots Buddy makes him look like a mountain. His face is stony and huge but expressive as hell. Like Mt. Rushmore coming alive. in this scene he goes from being the most intimidating human who's ever walked the earth to extremely sweet. He looks like he can change global weather just by cracking a smile. He looks like the sun and the Stones like planets whose orbits are suddenly disrupted and start aimlessly cavorting around him. Oh and also the playing, which is out of this world.
Augustine Calvetti….I LOVE your description. And there are few filmmakers like Scorsese who can really capture the majesty of a Stones performance…..and of Buddy Guy ❤️❤️❤️
Keef is THE coolest rock star ever and I'm not the biggest stones fan, love them but love many as much as them. But Keith is a different kind of cat, the exact opposite of that prancing corporate man Mick.
That guitar Keith gave Buddy at the end of this is at Buddy Guys's Legends bar in Chicago. I'm like overly excited I saw how he attained it just now. Floored.
That was cool thing to do. Black blues guys owe a lot to the brit bands of the 60s They took them back to Europe and made them cash they needed badly. Eric Clapton gave a few dudes straight up cash when he found out they hit hard times after I sure Keith did too.
E' la migliore esecuzione che fa onore ai Rolling i quali, a quanto scriveva Keith Richards nel 2011, erano gli unici 'bianchi' a frequentare i club del blues afro-americano!
They LOVE each other. Buddy was brought to tears talking on a documentary and said "They never would put black artists on TV back then, then The Rolling Stones came to America and were covering our songs, and for the first time I got to see Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf and myself on TV. I have the most respect for them out of what they did for us."
@todd long I'm just telling you what exact words came out of Buddy Guy's mouth. Source: Under The Influence: Keith Richards Netflix Documentary. When him and Buddy Guy are playing pool at buddy's club "Legends".
so true, i have always liked how humble keith richards is. He respects his elders and makes sure that fact is known to everybody that he is there biggest fan
Sam Williamson, I certainly do not agree. I've always considered this, maybe well intentioned, action very patronizing and Buddy also seems uncomfortable about the situation.
Saw him at a blues festival opening before BB King and don’t get me wrong I love & respect BB big time but Buddy Guy about levitated the damn place Was smoking HOT!
A very Happy 85th Birthday George "Buddy" Guy. July 30, 1936 Lettsworth, Louisiana. Truly a.. Living Blues Legend.. Many, many more George.. Long live the Blues.
Wonderful Buddy Guy playing guitar and jagger on the harmonica...We could notice how Jagger got surprised with the powerful voice of Buddy Guy...and the same happened to Keith Richards seeing Buddy Guy playing guitar...
These guys give me the best reason to live.Just doing it a little hard right now.But a consistant inspiration. Thank all the Gods for The Rolling Stones.Amen.
Ok ! There is this one Guy. Effortlessly blowing off the roof with his killer guitar sound and voice. And then you have this flock of puppies, yapping around him, biting his calf trying to prove they have some class too. When the Rolling Stones look like needy teenagers in comparison to you, you know you are a true legend ! Buddy Guy is really amazing !
I had the privilege of seeing Buddy in January 2017 in Legend’s with my husband, Son (who was celebrating his 40th that day) and daughter in law. We were also at the front and Buddy blew our minds it was one of the best ever nights of music. We flew in for it from the UK. Chicago was totally awesome!
Saw the Stones a month ago and Buddy Guy last week. 2 of the best shows ever, if you didn't know they were old guys, you sure wouldn't guess it from their playing or stage presence. I never considered myself a blues fan, but I am now!
You missed the whole point, the reason Buddy sounds so amazing here compared to elsewhere is because of the band behind him. And yeah Mick is going toe to toe with him on that harp and Keith is playing outrageous shit and that's why Buddy is smiling and jumping around like a kid because he knows they all took it higher.
Adore you Kieth you never disappoint ❤️l was there when you stuck up for Brian at the Blackpool Winter Gardens (it was '64 or '65) you guys were only about3 numbers in when it kicked off due to drunken idiots throwing beer bottles at the stage and one hit Brian . So keep on being Kieth we love you ❤️
I love how its Buddy Guy feat. The Rolling Stones. The Stones are one of the greatest bands of all time, but Buddy still shows them up. Can't wait to see you in Gulfport, Buddy
Wonderful stuff! The great Buddy Guy is the perfect "honorary Stone". The entire band is as tight as you'll ever hear them on this tune and yet every time Buddy slashes into it with his thunderous voice and his mighty ax, the energy level shoots up off the scales--as the spontaneous reactions from Ronnie and Mick, and Keith's great gesture of respect at the end, all attest. The Stones started out, about half a century ago, wanting to be a real blues band. This leaves no doubt they made it.
It's amazing to me that two (2) people could dislike this video. I believe that Keith knew that he was not likley to have a moment on a stage like that again in his lifetime, so he retired that guitar and gave it back to the blues, which at that moment, was Buddy Guy.
I was about to close out the video because I had something to do, but I couldn't. I thought I would go to hell or disrupt the universe or something like that.
@@BluesDivinity wow lol, I don't know where I had my head then, but it's been corrected. And this day, six years after I posted that comment, Buddy Guy remains the legend he always has been
Love how Keith Richards just blows the cigarette out of his mouth, heater and ashes flying everywhere LOL. Can't wait to see Buddy in April in Toronto, again.
they have a massive respect for him... just look how keith gave buddy his guild at the end as a sign of respect... he was the master of all of them... eric said it.... jeff beck too... and obviously jimmi hendrix it´s another disciple
Buddy Guy is the Father of the modern blues. He was the spiritual mentor of all the great 70's guitarists.

The legendary Chicago blues master, Buddy Guy, took to the stage of the Beacon Theatre in 2006 to take part in this drop-dead, fiery performance of the Muddy Waters-penned classic “Champagne and Reefer” with the Rolling Stones. The performance was recorded for cinema legend (and absolute blues music fanatic) Martin Scorsese’s 2008 documentary on the Stones entitled Shine a Light.
