Thank God I saw the original line up several times. Fito has done a good job trying to keep the legacy going but there was nothing like seeing Bob Hite and Al "blind Owl" Wilson playing live on stage magnificent
isaw canned heat with fito and harvey mandell in san miguel allende mexico on 1976, the concert was opened by three souls in my mind, i was seventeen, i dont forget that concert. greetings from leon gto mexico.
oh wow! did THAT take me back!!! That song got me HOT! Getting down to the 2 sides Record, what was it, some 45 minutes of Refried Boogie! I always hated when it ended :) 1970 some good ol days!
LarryTaylor plays on most of Tom Waits albums now, met him in Auckland when he played with John Mayall, such a nice man and he was happy to talk to us after the concert
And the singer is Bob "Bear" Hite, he IS Canned Heat. He is an original member. Him and The Blind Owl are the 2 most recognizable faces of CH. The Blind Owl died of a drug overdose at age 27, but most don't name him with the other musicians who died at that age.
THAT CRACKS ME UP WHEN HE SAYS ABOUT A GUITAR BEING OUT OF TUNE THAT IT'S CLOSE ENOUGH FOR JAZZ. WE ALREADY PLAYED ON THE ROAD, WHAT KIND OF DRUGS ARE YOU ON? GIMMIE SOME.

Hi there. Anybody know the guitar tuning for this. I see the rhythm guitar has a capo on the second fret. For the life of me I can't work out the drone thing. Please help before I forget to boogie!
You can do it easily playing Em for a bar and a half, G for one beat and A for one beat. Or in Am, C, D. Emphasis on the upstroke. One and (upstroke on and)...etc. You can capo it anywhere you want.
Mon morceau favori de Canned Heat. Je ne connaissais pas cette version avec harmonica. Dommage que la vidéo ne soit pas complète, avec les solos du guitariste, du bassiste et du percussionniste. La version vinyl est quand même meilleure. Quand je vois le prix du disque original sur Discogs dans l'état "near mint" (150 $ !), j'aurais dû en acheter plusieurs ! Mais je n'ai pas l'idée de spéculer. Au moins, cela démontre que cet album est toujours très recherché.
lol, I love Hooker... Who in the blues did NOT steal riffs. Hell, it ain't stealing in the blues, it is building the blues. Led Zep tried to explain that in court...they disagreed. ;) Lawyers don't know the blues.
Very very very close, but it's not the same. There's slight differences in the riff. And besides, this came out before La Grange (this song in '68, and La Grange in '73).
A STORY BEST BLUES MANY SOLO S GUITAR DRUM S BASS I BUY THE HOT BLUES ALBUM TWO SIDES OF FULL MUSIC AND HOT SOLO S REFRIED BOOGIE MORE THAN TWO SIDES OF HOT MUSIC ON THE ALBUM I LIKE IT I INJOU IT ITS NOW YEAR 2013 ITS BEST MUSIC EVER GREAT GREAT SUPER WOODSTOCK COME S BACK THE HISTORY OF GOOD MUSIC FESTIVAL S ORIGINALBLUES ROCK MUSIC TELL ME
The riff was around before Hooker. And blues music is based on western harmonic principles; it didn't just appear out of nowhere. And rock is based as much on country music as blues, if not more so.
I was lucky enough to see Canned Heat and John Lee Hooker on the same bill in the early 70's at the Long Beach Auditorium. They both played separate sets and to top off the evening both bands jammed together and blew the roof off of the joint! ZZ Top is a good band but they are a Johnny Come Lateley band.
And a hundred others! Add a dash of space rock and you've got Hawkwind's "Orgone Accumulator"! It's a basic riff, everyone uses it - and it's all brill!
