I almost cried watching these videos.. I was lucky to see Bo live and receive an autograph after the show.. my only regret is I didn't ask for a guitar pick...
seeing him play the drums was fantastic, this video kills.. Thank you so much for posting it..
Very very cool to have listened to Bo Diddley his talent reigns on together with all The Great Bluesmen. Thank you for sharing-nothing like the Blues :-)
God damn, I'd have Bo drum for me any goddamn time. This guy's a genuine goddamn musician. For someone with a rhythmic sense like his the drums were probably a breeze to master.
Awesome..nice to see great footage of BD. I had the pleasure of seeing Bo in action in a small bar in Orando in '93. He broke a string and then said he had to perform a voo doo burial for it and then jammed for about a half hour straight making up lyrics about the string breaking, I talked to him afterwards and he was very cordial and pleasant to talk to. He gave me an autographed picture I have unfortunately lost years ago. God bless u Bo always.
Yes indeed, Bo could hypnotize, paralyze, anesthetize or energize. A classically trained violinist, frustrated percussionist, former Golden Gloves boxer known for fancy footwork & a hard one-two who literally wrote the Genesis-Chapter for Rock n' Roll Rhythm Guitar playing. At some point in every show he would demonstrate this versatility as in this excellent raw video,pounding out some heavy kick drum grooves & uninhibited dancing. Ellas McDaniel, one of the few legitimate "Originals" of R&R.
Last song of the set. Bo starts by missing all the strings on a strum! He gets into a wild version of "Hey Bo Diddley", then plays the drums and then dances. Remember, this was in 1981. The bulges in his pockets show that he didn't want to leave his wallet or money in the dressing room.
WOW! TRULY A MASTER.

How can the voters at Rolling Stone Magazine rank Bo # 37 and Hendrix at # 1?
