The Blues Brothers - Live At Winterland (December 31, 1978) Full Concert, Audio 320kbps 

It’s 2024 and still watching this awesome concert, I was 5 years old when they played this gig

I was there that night. You can’t imagine how cool they were. Then the Dead came on at midnight and played till dawn. Beyond incredible.

i was 23 and this never gets old

Belushi left us to early. The Blues Brothers were on the way to revive so many classics even for its time.

They were the two frontmen who assembled the best R&B band in the World! The best original players. You can’t go wrong with Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn and Matt Guitar Murphy! And it sounded incredible! The Blues Brothers may have started as a comedy bit but the band was the real thing!

God bless Bill Graham, The Grateful Dead, and The Blues Brothers!!!!!!!!

00:01 intro I Can't Turn You Loose 1:48 Hey Bartender 5:08 Messin' with the Kid 8:09 intro for (I Got Everything I Need) Almost 8:49 (I Got Everything I Need) Almost 11:30 horn section introduction 12:33 Rubber Biscuit 15:39 Shot Gun Blues 21:28 Groove Me 25:14 I Don't Know 30:47 Soul Man 33:52 Jake introduces the rest of the band 34:41 B Movie Box Car Blues 39:35 Flip, Flop and Fly 43:30 Jailhouse Rock 48:38 outro

I love when he asks the the audience to sing along, he's so sincere

John Belushi was 29 Dan Aykroyd was 27. I suddenly feel inadequate.

Steve Jordan is a beast, absolutely love his drumming on this live performance.

I was working in my computer the other day and listening to this AMAZING show with my dog by my side. 10 minutes later the two of us was dancing and jumping like crazy and singing and barking (I was singing, he was barking, just to make it clear). Thank you so much for uploading it and The Blues Brothers band for this gift

The Blues Brothers Band is legit my go to when I want to get down! Dance fool!

Belushi was a entertainment power house Musician Comedian Actor Their was almost nothing he couldn’t do. I can only imagine how different this world would have been if he was in Ghostbusters, instead of passing when he did

I had the cassette of this concert when I was a kid. this was a world class band, all from first to last, they had a groove, a tone, a fantastic way of playing. there will never be a line-up like this again ... this band was really cool

That whole band was so stacked with top of the line players, you couldn't put together a better band to go on the road with if you life depended on it. John Belushi really pulled that show out of his ass and hit the world at the right time for that music to come back, but to get the original guys that recorded many of those songs was just amazing and can never happen again. Now you need to find computer software from the 90's to put together an original old band. Those players were so good and so humble. They had to be, just look who they were on stage with, each player was about the best in the world at what they did. It was truly an all star band that played together so well. Studio players are like that. What a tight band that was and no wonder. I wore that album out in the summer of 1979 and that music takes me back to that year every time. Love it.

I want that snare drum.Steve Jordan and Duck Dunn,what a rhythm section.

Briefcase Full of Blues changed my life!

The first moment you heard BELUSHI during this performance, you knew it was ON!!!!!

What a epic opening act for the Gratful dead on New Years!!

Thanks for the good quality post. I've had a boot DVD of this concert and I must say this version is clearer. I love this, can you imagine the audience's delight that this was legit and pumped blues.

Master bluesmen practicing their craft.

Dear brother my sister was in the Blues Collective n I was brought up on this! The good stuff. My birthdate was 30/12/1978 and I didn't know then but I do now thanks to you I was and am the only dude who was born yesterday to something that was real n good! Thank you Sir! Never mess with the kid bartender.

I was there. The Blues Brothers were the show.

Man Pigpen would’ve really loved this show. RIP

Bellissimo!!........è come un medicinale contro il cattivo umore ma senza controindicazioni!!!!!

WOW! As one of the worlds biggest Blues Brothers fans, i realllllly appreciate this.

Just imagine what it was like to see the Blues Brothers opening for the Dead...

Matt Guitar Murphy killed it

I think folks should send out thanks to Jeff Nemerovski that this video and audio exist. As an executive in radio advertising he apparently knew Bill Graham well. Graham had big plans for the closing as he had staged many concerts there, even more after closing Filmore West somewhere around 1971. Bill loved the room but couldn't interest the landlords in investing in myriad repairs needed to keep it open. So for a appropriate closing he pulled out his trump card which was requesting The Grateful Dead to do the honors. I'm not really clear on how The Blues Brothers became the warm-up act (others please elucidate) but, it probably at least had something to do with the mad reception they had earlier received three months earlier at The L.A. Amphitheater when they opened for Steve Martin. A better match may not have been possible as this was a kind of hugely unexpected REAL party band with the chops to get any event started in fine form. Back to Jeff Nemerovski...Bill told him he could have sold more tickets to this show than any he had ever staged which inspired Jeff. He made arrangements for the show to be broadcast (and taped) and it was shown on WQED (local PBS) and simulcast in stereo on KSAN radio. Now Bill was known to tape shows but this tipped it up a big notch as often Bill's early videos were in black and white and not always in the best sound quality. This one survives in pretty fine form for what is mostly been traded in bootlegs in the past. I know The Grateful Dead have actually done a release of this on DVD (not seen it unfortunately in it's released form) so there must be the potential for even better video and audio that this RU-vid release??? Let's hope The Blues Brother's full concert resurfaces sometime in a more pristine form if possible, but this stuff rocks and I think when watching it how bad the current musical landscape has become in large part. Real blues musicians practicing their craft and knocking it out of the park with the help of two very talented men in black suits. Love it! Thanks for posting it cause it was easier than digging out my old DVD a guy from Sweden sent me years ago (kudos to nice folks like him).

long live the blues

Cropper and Murphy were having a blast.

Only 10k views is a crime. First place I'm going with my new time machine

Shot gun Blues - Matt Murphy gives us both barrels! He was on fire that night.

Awesome how they announce the band and song they are covering. Great stuff here. If you guys like this please go listen to the originals.

My favorite band of all time !!!!

I sat first row at the old poplar creek music theater in Chicago

Said it Before, I'll Say It Again: If Jake Blues had hung around a little longer, there would have been a "Blues Brothers Christmas Movie / Album" And It Would Be the Greatest Christmas Music Album on This Green Earth.

My heart skipped a beat when John did that entrance...

Been listening to the Dead for a long time but first time I've seen this. Great version of "Soul Man"!

Wow, such a wonderful concert. I’ve had the CD for years, but seeing it on video is something else!

This is a legit classic band by.

None of these guys died - they simply changed venues. _/|\_

Best entrance EVER

Nothin will ever compare

Matt "Guitar" Murphy was a fucking beast.

B movie.... My favorite

Oh,yeah.

i saw these guys at saratoga springs SPAC on july 4. a special date. this talented group had the place going crazy! it was such a thrill. dan akyroyd said while people in russia are trying to squeeze into our levi jeans the USA is the greatest country in the world! the audience went wild.i still have the ticket!

Belushi was feeling great the moment he stepped on stage that night!!! He had some good shit.

Thank you so much!!❤❤

I think one of the reasons i love the blues brothers is that this was born out of a bit but birthed honest and pure music made by the most skillfull musicians of their fields of the time, the mix of this concert is kinda rough, but what u can hear on Briefcase full of blues and made in america is honestly insane

What a fantastic performance. Thanks for sharing!

Steve's having a great time on Boxcar

Spettacolo,che tempi!

Amazing! ❤️

Awesome thanks for putting this up!

rubber biscuit was awesome, man he could sure wale

Flip, Flop & Fly - I don't care if I die 🎶🎶 😎😎🎶🎶

Belushi,to me ,was an amazing singer

Could this place seriously only afford ONE spotlight? It seems like they're only working with one, and it doesn't know where to be half the time...

Paul Schaffer was the musical director and on the keyboards

In 1978 John Belushi was age 29 and Dan Aykroyd was age 26

Cool to think that half this crowd is on acid watching this, waiting for the Dead

Steve Jordan = Law

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

👍👍😎

Kick ass
