[mpo1107]

Love the Wolf.

[theBigNoseAttack]

can't wait for you to get back mate!!!!

[DapperBrass]

The wolf is still by far my favorite blues artist. I remember the 1st day I found a disc of his stuff, 'just stumbled across it. I was just starting to make my way into the world of the blues, and I happened to trip over the treasure chest right out the gate. I even have that one book about his life, told by the very folks that knew him. Trust me, that man LIVED the blues. Love live "the wolf" and the legacy we know today.

[howlingsandy]

@DapperBrass it's a book quoting those that knew him to one degree or another (quotes my interview of Wolf to birth chapter 1 "in his own words" about exactly WHY Wolf had to flee for his life at age 13 from his sadistic great uncle, and took two years to get to his real father and then meet Charlie Patton and Rice Miller. It uses 6 photos of mine Wolf and I made (plus family photos from when I was at Wolf's place in Chicago.) Email me for a clip of us singing (part of Wolf's harp lessons) SGS

[cyka82]

This shit is beyond bad ass!!!



[1Dexterd]

Man!!!! what it must have been like to have been in that joint,smoking on a stogie and witnessing that performance.

[MACTProject]

@1Dexterd

I would love to have been a fly on that wall.

[1Dexterd]

Man what it must have been like sitting in that joint, smoking on a stogie & witnessing that performance !!!!

[patriotpride16t]

That man and his music touches my soul!

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

out of tune and i love it

[cyka82]

@NintendoSinceBirth1 Your mom is out of tune.

[yungsu100]

WOLFS BODYLANGUAGE COMES FROM WAY THE FUCK DOWN SOUTH

ITS NOT REHEARSED OR PRATICED ITS THE MOTHERFUCKEN HEART FULL OF SOUL VERY FEW MAN HAVE IT

[1gofui]

put's me in a good mood great vibe love itttt

[Perks527]

6 ppl are f*ckin stupid

[paulwhitberg]

any footage of the wolf is PRICELESS! thanks for posting!

[bichomaldito]

The introduction is priceless.

[fstrc02]

Howlin' Wolf's history is the Blues. He took lessons from Charley Patton!!

[etresanchez]

That song broke my heart

[LydonLovesButter]

He makes me so happy...

[Rankerbill1]

All those stacked up chairs, what a waste. Must have been a rehearsal. Thanks for posting.

[hyporidemia]

For me there is only one way to describe Howlin Wolf, and that is Organic. Like Muddy and most other blues greats, he paints a picture that pulls off of the canvas, wraps around you and drips into your soul. However, for me Howlin's colors are just a little more vivid, and his brush strokes were broad and clear. Wish I could have sat down with him one time and just looked close at him, you know what I mean?

[paulwhitberg]

@hyporidemia I feel the same way...and WOW, HUBERT SUMLIN...my favorite electric guitarist ever. What a group the Wolf had!

[MrGrahambean]

Love Wolf and Sunnyland Slim both. Nice one/

[db247310]

I'm way down in the woods right now

[montreemtx]

The INTRO hits me... thank you all.

[victaurp3]

l'intro...ouch!

[montreemtx]

Super TOUCH.....

I welcome the other songs this rhythic.... from you all.

THANKS.

[hinamauka]

Great video! Wish I'd find something like this on my hard drive!!

[GoldenWestSignArts]

The Wolf poured more heart and soul into his music than any of em!

[DandJRuffin]

@GoldenWestSignArts I agree 100%. I love Muddy and John Lee Hooker, to. But compared to the Wolf they sound kind of distanced from their material sometimes while the Wolf always sounded emotionally involved. Thanks for this clip: history in the making.

[ofabmx]

@DandJRuffin a lot of muddys songs where written by willy dixon maybe why he sounds emotionally uninvolved to you. all amazing songs tho, big thank you to chess records.

[streetcornerjames]

God bless you Wolf.

[MrRGanja]

There's so many more people on Earth today than then, so why aren't there that many more good singers around??? As good as Muddy, Wolf, Sonny Boy etc...WHo in blues today is as good, voice-wise as these guys???

[RegainedParadise]

@MrRGanja

No one.

[pullupdasound]

wow!!!!! you have to have been there. i mean really!!! really!!! experience it to understand.

[UseYerEFFINBrain]

Fuck! Why didn't he tune his guitar!?

[mastersgirl414]

@UseYerEFFINBrain I think he's using a specific tuning purposefully to give the song a certain mood. A little 'off'. It does something different to the Soul, ya know? That's my guess, anyhoo. ;)

[streetcornerjames]

@UseYerEFFINBrain You are deaf

[UseYerEFFINBrain]

I have perfect pitch. That's why it's bothering me.

[Blinddogjax]

his middle finger is up probably up because he was such a big man.

[Bruscarful]

Video from "American Folk and Blues Festival" apparently (look for "Howlin Wolf - Shake For Me" posted by luizoak) same footage ;)

[pharcelle1]

LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL'!

[MrByaeger]

so rare to see him play guitar

[hswatnik]

as profound and beautiful a music as I ever heard or seen-

[RaelGurl]

he has an awesome voice. jw did anyone else see that he holds up his middle finger just askin. Amazing voice its so cool and unique

[MrByaeger]

@RaelGurl this mans middle finger was ALWAYS up my friend

[PuzzleSolver]

@RaelGurl His middle fingers up... showing the world " I got control of deez blues baby "

[qazxswec500]

I love that guitar he's playing. It looks awesome. I want one.

Sounds like someone punched him in the throat but I dig it, goes well with the music.

Heaps of conviction.

[illister]

EPIC.

[venomfocus]

you got the best hard drive ever

[TylerGallion]

Is that sunny on the keys??

[HoboGus]

One of my biggest regrets is not being able to hear any of the great bluesman like the Wolf, perform live. You can bet he's entertaining the folks that went before us somewhere. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get to hear him someday.

[b0000sie]

FINNA PUT YOU WAY DOWN IN THE WOODS

[cynthi1151]

outstanding!

[JRHockney]

Wow, a message for the new generation at 2:10 LOL jk. Impressive voice.

[bwanna23]

Such great American music.

[streets1390]

@bwanna23 CORRECTION, AFRIACANIO AMERICAN MUSIC

[bwanna23]

@streets1390 You"re right.. Great contribution to our culture. We're all Americans in this here crazy land and we're proud of this music.

[Rhob90]

He kills me every time he starts singing "I gotta leave"

The Wolf is the best

[RonnieLeeDuck]

Anyone know who that is on piano? Sunnyland Slim?

Also, its amazing to see how right after a song he comes out of his trance like state as if he's just taking care of business in the office. Then he goes right back into in on the next song. Great focus and discipline to do that.

[bigdunk82]

Doesn't get better. Videos like this make Youtube worth while.

[onceuponamidnightdry]

No one ever duplicated, The Wolf. God bless him and as others have said ... I too hope he'll be back one day!!!

[MrNickzen]

oh, please let there be a heaven. And if I can have just 5 minutes of it, well wont be wasted.

[aerothedon]

cotton famly down south before all the hype

[howlingsandy]

In this wonderful video we see. sense and hear the depths of Wolf' s connection to the roots of humanity, "where the soul of man goes and never dies." Note how he sits after singing this one. Wolf puts himself 'deep in the woods', as this song reflects being there, literally, as my interview about his childhood included (quoted in his biography) and the song speaks in part to when he escape his sadistic uncle's home, leaving behind his first gf who he never got to see again, though he wanted to

[kodiacwolf]

@howlingsandy Thank you for sharing your thoughts, i think its very nice when someone has something to really share about a great artist. I enjoyed reading what you posted, its too bad there are not more people like you to post on music videos.

[howlingsandy]

Wolfs deep timeless feelings show clearly and speak to how we don't always realize it's too late until it is. My '68 interview revealed why Wolf ran away at 13 from his sadistic uncle's home - to save his life! He'd just bought his 1st long pants by working 6 weeks $0.60/day cutting railroad ties in the woods after plowing 7 days a week! Dressed to take his hoped-for sweetheart to church, was forced to 'slop the hog'. It ruined Wolf's clothes. He hit the stud boar, it died. His uncle called him.

[TRACKSANGUINIS1]

IS U EVER BEEN IN THE MOOD LOL!!!!!!!

[mikechekmusic]

god bless his precious soul ....HOWLIN WOLF FOREVER!!

[Dimmarth]

@mikechekmusic God's listenin to him even up there

[DomenicSinatra]

te best

[MilwMike]

Filmed in Germany. There's a wonderful series of these videos including Little Walter playing behind Koko. That's a young Hubert and Sunnyland Slim.

[streetgeezer]

@MilwMike Wow, is there anyway you can grab it? Is it available on DVD or something? Thanks :)

[TheJackShack]

@streetgeezer This and many many many more great blues performances are available on the American Folk-Blues Festival DVDs on Amazon. There are 4 of them. All amazing.

[AtmaRising]

this rips at the soul

[YoGroucho]

When the Wolf howls, everything stops in the forest and listen to overtake.

[ElectricKGod]

No Rap music will ever compare to Howlin Wolf.... get fuckin real

[howlingsandy]

Wolfs timeless feelings speak to how don't always realize it's too late until it is. Wolf ran away at 13 from his sadistic uncle's home to save his life. My 1968 interview at last revealed why. He'd just bought his 1st long pants working 6 weeks, 60 cents a day, cutting railroad ties in the woods after plowing 7 days a week. Dressed "rough sport" to take his hoped-for sweetheart to church, was forced to 'slop the hog'. It ruined Wolf's clothes. He hit the prize boar, it died. His uncle coming...

[rullkristiansand]

I cannot begin to express how sick i am of people trying to appear "real", by comparing old music to new music and saying that it is crap. Nobody is forcing you to listen to rap. And there actually is a lot of good rap music that is soulfull and has content, you just have to look deeper than mtv and the radio, jerk off.

[Blinddogjax]

@rullkristiansand ... Ky-Mani Marley 4 example...

[olcaldrew]

these guys were the best,sonny boy williamson,howlin wolf,john lee hooker

[mihai191]

...Protestez impotriva timpului ce trece...!!

[cdvicious]

I feel the same way wolf i feel the same

[OAProject]

This video is from Volume Two of 'The American Folk Blues Festival-1962-1966' DVD's

[charly9927]

you've always been around Wolf! all these comments praising your music are the proof!

[BishopArkansasRed]

Great!! Thanks and "F" that southern Soul Crap

[gauravarya]

simply amazing - one of Wolf's best.

[brimstoneandbullets]

Check it! His guitar is out of tune but still he bends and beats in to make it work...Fuckin killer!!!

[djtelecaster]

'blues was not popular culture' - Really? I would recommend Escaping the Delta by Elijah Wald. It is a persuasive argument that 'Blues' WAS the pop music of the day, (within its followers) and whilst rap doesn't interest me one little bit, there are similarities between the two. But the blues had a baby and they named it rock and roll. Rap gave birth to Eminem and Ice T............

[tammy376]

That guy is killin it on the piano...I LOVE IT!

[UnsilentE]

Back? Wolf, man, you never left. Happy one hundredth birthday today, on the tenth of June, twenty-ten. You're a fire-breathing dragon, Wolf.

[rabruin]

Praise from

the bluesmen

who knew Wolf:

He was one of a kind. Nobody I heard before him or after him has had that fantastic delivery–that certain something in his voice that seemed like a sword that’d pierce your soul when he’d sing. Wolf was already a great singer and musician when I first met him. To my mind, he’s one of the greatest ever. We’ll never see another like him.

–From the Introduction by B.B King

[ThisMUSICis]

WON DER FUL ! ! !

[casu3]

sunnyland slim on piano the last delta piano player

[jtebaize]

so fucking genius, god bless usa black music

[MacDaNyf]

This is the soul of it all

[howlingsandy]

In this wonderful video we see. sense and hear the depths of Wolf' s connection to the roots of humanity, "where the soul of man goes and never dies." Note how he sits after singing this one. Wolf put himself 'deep in the woods' too.

[24mc1]

The great howlin wolf dont forget hubert on gutiar

[shutupnstay]

[popinjay3000]

the hard drive is the new attic!!

[MrBagel5]

"A"!!! He corrects/asks the pianist for an A straight away! Love that!

[ballcockandfloat]

that old found it on my hard drive chesnut

[bigwillhenk]

this is greate big will & the Bluesmen to

[bigwillhenk]

this is greate big will & the Bluesmen to

[MrElliotRocker]

Sunnyland Slim is one of the best blues pianists ever. His thrilling, flamboyant and trebly style fits perfectly with Wolf's voice !. i shudder every time i hear Sunnyland Slim.

[mta415]

@MrElliotRocker YESSIR!!!

[JonMartMusic]

@MrElliotRocker i concur

[mordsith05]

Wow, i can feel the vibrations of love coming forth. The intent to focus such passion here, inspires me to be more. To all who hear this, may they be surrounded by these waves of love.

[letter80]

Not very good with instruments?? What a little jerk, the one who said that. Lacks historical facts. Hey, even as an insult to Master Wolf is boring... zzz...

Man, Wolf was the Man. Period.

[RulingDewey]

see thats a really nice blues track :) all respect to the howling wolf!!

[Pedro1985]

Tears in my eyes ;)

[oo1sax]

Very nice blues in my story pages !

[mmjaljs]

The Blues that make U walk the floor.....And that's on the real!

[staticviewer]

him and Lightning Hopkins. Thats the best combo. Take it to the river

[trickydickkkkk]

classic Wolf best video on youtube ever for me

[SherifG1]

Now that's how it's done

>>>Sherif

[u2bewatchin]

Its funny, these guys were not appreciated by popular culture back then like they are now. They were looked down on and discriminated against. Take a good look at what you hate today in 50 years they'll be lovin it. This is pure original music.

[vinny2009woof]

That's because they are artists. They gotta be forgotten before they can be loved.

[igessthsisgrwnup]

@u2bewatchin what if theres shit i hate now that ppl are lovin

[Fruscianteistheman]

@u2bewatchin

Blues was not popular culture. Pop/Rock Was.

No one... FUCKING NO ONE... will be talking about the "music" made now a day.

It fucking sucks. Period. You can't juxtapose the blues music scene to the rap music scene you dumb fucking twit.

[u2bewatchin]

@Fruscianteistheman They are already talking about how brilliant old school rap is less than 30 years after it began. As you know, the majority of America's pop culture (white folks)didnt accept rap initially, but now they honor old school rap. And I don't see why u can't "juxtapose" the blues scene to the rap scene. Both are original forms of music, originated from the experiences of black folks. Just different generations. Trust me buddy, U guys will love 50 cents, Ludacris, & Jay-z in 50yrs.

[99bassrock]

@u2bewatchin You must be nuts comparing rap to The Blues. No comparison. You need to put down the pipe.

[cw1310]

The Blues, real music, for real people.

[neroncaeasar]

Now THIS is damn good Blues! Wonderful!

[billesku84]

who put bed comment here he can kill hiself same moment! this is perfection! he must be a serb:) i love him!

[Triassicc]

That Fucking Voice

so Unique,Charred,and Powerful

[suzesrc]

i love this man. sing it like no other

[PinkOld]

Yes, it's a cool story, but it is the product of a Hollywood writer's typewriter.

That "legend" came from the movie "Cadillac Records," a very good movie by all accounts, but using a fake "legend" to describe the scene that features Wolf in the studio doing "Smokestack Lightning."

It is nothing more than a Hollywoodized retelling of the legend of Robert Johnson and the Crossroads.

No disrespect to Wolf, though.

Wolf didn't NEED any legends to make him the blues Godzilla he was.

[TheSkootertrash]

"I'll be back someday".

We sure do hope so Wolf.

We're getting more than a lttle burned out on 50 Cent and the rest of the rap crap crowd.

[TheWhiskeyRover]

@TheSkootertrash damn right man

[14echo]

@TheSkootertrash Halleluja, Amen!!

[jamesjoeguy]

@TheSkootertrash can we just appreciate and miss the music without hating on something else?

[TheWhiskeyRover]

@TheSkootertrash thats right man!

[Jevandrix]

@TheSkootertrash I've learned one thing here, maybe a bit too late...- rap stole their name from crap...

[Otinsak]

@TheSkootertrash Do you ignoramuses continually make the unneeded references to rap in these videos just because they're black? Grow up you white bread piece of shit, there's no need to even talk about that, just appreciate the beauty.

[ozGermanzo]

i think i have just seen god everybody

[mikechekmusic]

the most powerful naturally heart felt performance i've ever seen R.i.P. THE WOLF

[sigmonky]

This live stuff is amazing. He's singing with such intensity!

[LucasDeckmyn]

[LesPaulGoldTop21]

Yeah!

[LucasDeckmyn]

nothing else than THE Bluez you found (on yr harddisc)

[teroberts4gospel]

An absolute model of a traditional blues musically and spiritually.

[timjmoran]

CITROP.. pretty sure this is from the TOtally AWEsome American Folk Blues Festival DVD's ( issued on HIP-O records/dvds in 2003.) There is a LOT more of this on those 2 dvd's...GREAT stuff...

[faceliftblues]

Hubert Sumlin!!! The World's Greatest Blues Master bar NONE !!! And Wolf? Really !?!? As good as it gets........

[LuigiLee1961]

The Big Bad Wolf sure knows how to kick ass.

Fabulous.

[sivvybee]

That is The Blues.

[Mounhas]

The location looks familiar, and of course Hubert Sumlin is on guitar and Willie Dixon on bass.

Never heard this song before, wonderful music.

[9mej]

An amazing performance. Chills!

[gangstercorleone]

When he says "I'm gonna put you down in the woods," you better believe him. This is how the O.G.s created groove out of thin air.

Thanks for posting.

I'm GangsterCorleone.

[somewhereintyme]

what the hell is "O.G.s" and why r u being down rated?...

[alderson2]

What is O.G.?

[knowledgeprofessor]

'O.G' -Old Gods. General term for Old Hustlers used by the Hip Hop- Rap generation to the 'Old Skool' . Does anyoen know what song that was Howlin did in Cadillac Records when he started howlin like a wolf. Love dat shid. Boy we Black people are so talented.
