Thank you for posting all of John Mayall classic albums. I am proud and happy to know that there are people who are still listening to this God Father Of British Blues. I have the albums in Vinyl and Cassettes. We don't have CDs in those days. Been listening to John Mayall since 1964/65. I will be 62 years old on this coming 26th May 2014. I am a Chinese, born and bred in a tiny island called Singapore. You see, the great John Mayall is adored even by people who are thousands of kilometres away from his homeland. RIP JM ... Blues 4 EVER.
John Mayall is one of the most influencial and important contributors to the British Blues scene. Surely he is the Godfather of the British blues movement! Eric Clapton owes him his SOUL and nothing less.
+FuckYouWhosNext I couldn't agree more, I could try, but no....thanks for this great collection. Love the solo on the first track. Must be very early, Bernie Watson? I love the production on the early Mayall stuff. Raw, live, on the edge. He was so influential on the whole scene yet rarely gets a mention.
Not to mention Mick Taylor, Peter Green, Harvey Mandel, Sonny Landreth, Walter Trout, Jon Mark, John McVie, Jack Bruce, Larry Taylor, Keef Hartly, Mick Fleetwood, Ainsley Dunbar, Paul Butterfield, Sugarcane Harris, John Almond, and Dr. John to name but a few more!
You forgot Freddie Robinson (also known as Abu Talib), a briliant guitar player, who inspired Mayall into jazz-blues fusion and unfortunately died 2009.

The Golden Age the blues bands, coming from the beery London pubs, venues and studios. Appreciated back then as it still is today. Thanks to all, we have this now.
A true Master- simply a honest to gawd natchal Bluesman 🔥 I consider him one of the last few carrying the magic flame from southern fields to northern cities. Muddy, Johnny Winter, Wolf and Dixon, Etta and Slim will all sit with you now at that great gig in the sky 🙌🏾 Bless you John for so much soul and music
I remember his lyrics. Sitting over here on parchment farm. Ain't never done no man no harm.all I did was to pull my kmife ,all i 5:09 did was kill my wife. Standard blues, also, a"nother man done gone "I didn't know his name, another man done gone, on the county farm.
Bonjour, peux-tu me confirmer que tu ne fais pas erreur en nommant : David O'List et Keith Emerson, musiciens du groupe : the Nice ayant fait partie du personnel de J. Mayall ? Merci. * * Hello, can ye confirm tae me that thou art nae mistaken in naming : David O'List and Keith Emerson, musicians of the group : the Nice who wert part o' J. Mayall's staff ? Thanks.

John Mayall no longer lives here, he moved to another place together with BB KING and other great Bluesists have formed the Cosmic Blues Band. Unforgettable John Mayall!!
Thanks for sharing this gem! Just scored tickets to see John Mayall at the Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA next month!!! Sweet little venue-will be a most excellent show... Cheers
Well again...thank you so kindly for this deeelicious educational, healing historic document of 20th century folk art music - which NEEDS TO REMAIN available for all. Hell, I'll even suck as many RU-vid enforcement cocks as needed to keep this creative work posted.
I heard tell, that back in the early ‘60’s those younger future English Blues men used to swap “race records” from “across the pond”, & get together & copy lead blues licks, @ that’s how it all began! Later on, the started the bands that earned them their fame & fortion.
Just Love John Mayall. Had this on vinyl at one time but lost it at a party!! Too good of an album to think it would not be stolen! Thank you for sharing this classic with us who remember John!
19 6 5 _______ 1 9 7 5 LOT Of People worked well then , and R Still going Strong , Who do u think will be going strong 50 years from the 80 "s or beyond . Name your top 5 . jus taking a small poll .
These were not live tracks from '69. The tracks featuring Eric Clapton are from the L.P John Mayall with Eric Clapton released in 1966. Peter Green is also featured on some of the tracks from Hard Rd. Recorded after Eric Clapton had left John Mayall in 1966.
HOLY CRAP!!! I mistook Hard Road for Another Kind... So - no doubt - I'm in need of another towel please. 50:12 set more river down me thigh. Ok...another question...Just To Be With You...is that Mayall & Green as well?
I just rolled a really big fattie for Monday morning and its August long and I didnt mean for it to be a fattie but as I looked in awe after I already took some of the reefer out I said thats a Monday fattie and then I looked up and I was listening to Lightning Hopkins and it hit an ad! There was a very LARGE woman eating yogurt and I said speaking of fatties! Then I felt that comedian guilt and said "OOOHHH!" Then I looked down and saw a link that said "BIGGER THAN JESUS!" I said she was bigger than Jesus then came here! Im going to hell FOR SURE NOW! But Hey! Before I go I got introduced to John Mayall! Thanks BiggerThanJesus!!! Lord save us all!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting this! I preferred Mayall in the 60’s & early 70’s over Led Zepplin (who was into satanism). Great memories rekindled with Mayall & Bluebreakers!
Bonjour, ça fait plaisir de constater ton intervention, bien qu’elle soit courte, d’une française dans cet océan anglo-saxon. _ le nom de cette vidéo est faux. Son vrai nom est : « London Blues - 1964-69 » _ 3 choses à remarquer : 2 enregistrements (N° 5 & 6) : « I’m yer witchdoctor » et « Telephone Blues » ne sont jamais sortis sur disque 33 tours (Long Playin’ disc). Ils ne sont sortis que sur single en 1965. Ces deux enregistrements sortent du lot et sont bien au-dessus, surtout pour l’époque ! C’est Clapton qui tient la guitare. Maintenant, 50 après, ils sont sortis sur des compilations de Mayall. _ Un titre (N° 17) qui se distincte de tous les titres joués par Mayall de 1964 à 2020, car en vérité, ici ce n’est pas l’œuvre de Mayall mais uniquement de Peter Green. Ce titre est : « the super-natural ». Je suis étonné que personne n’en parle ici. Je t’encourage chaleureusement à l’écouter et ensuite, ça m’intéresserait de connaître ton avis. _ Je ne peux m’empêcher d’attirer ton attention sur deux autres titres : N° 9 & 15 : « Double crossing time » & « a hard road ». _ N° 9 : 1966 - Clapton double son jeu de guitare et reproduit l’atmosphère du Blues. _ N° 15 - 1968 - écoute la voix de Mayall dans cette chanson. Elle est plaintive et te touche profondément.
Makes you itch all over, knock your Daddy down, drink the dew, run after, grabbing your wife, get real weird, then turn up the music till the people two blocks away wet their pants & do it all over again..... soooo good, DPK. touché
@ user If you're gonna call something "fake"@ least pull your head out of your Arse so you'll have an excuse for not hearing a true legend ,if you don't have anything nice to say,shut it!! P.S.you couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitro glycerin plant
