Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, John Mayer, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmie Vaughan, Johnny Winter

[danirecco]

John Mayer is totally overrated.

[TheDonttrythisathome]

@danirecco no dude :) he is underrated ! if you can't see that you are probably blind :P

[Danklin24]

Did Johnny Winter pick that guitar up at a garage sale before the show?!

[davidratcliffe1]

@Danklin24 He can play that guitar better than you can play your STEREO !!!!!!

[jcee810]

2/24/12....Apollo Theater, N.Y.C. All Star tribute to Hubert Sumlin. Be there or be nowhere blues fans!!

[karenn11jm]

if i ever see that stage, i swear i will kiss it.

[89easygoer]

They just sat down Johnny no more needs to be said.....a true legend and road warrior.

[greg91040]

Kenny was home iln bed..it was a school night!!

[YaniT991]

@greg91040 LOL!!

[karenn11jm]

probably because he is so great that he is almost reaching their level?! are you kidding me? he is one of the best guitarists of this generation.

[heffernanca]

Why is John Mayer on this stage?

[Danklin24]

@heffernanca Because he's that damn good

[pantherfootball17]

@heffernanca Yes, sincerely out of place.

[ihadtomakeaname]

@heffernanca is that a serious question?

[heffernanca]

At his peak, in my opinion, Johnny Winter is the greatest blues guitarist I have ever heard and seen; definitely the best slide guitarist.

[Leonardoo69]

dislikers must look at all these names on the title and know that they will never be with them.

[cbcnate]

My hat's off to the bass players. The unsung heroes.

[outsider173]

greatest guitarists play greatest blues hits ... I don't have any words to complain about it :D

[outsider173]

damn I respct Johnny Winter !!!

[greybluesman]

Hot damn what a concert !

[timothypaulking1]

If I was there I would have to pinch myself to check if I wasn't dreaming!

[Samprayer2]

who really knows John Mayer knows that he is NOT POP! please! he is between both, almost created a new style him self! a new guitar tone and a lot of followers! and I think that a pop artist dont go that deep (in case of guitarist!) he will get his place in guitar world player, just wait!

[Ragz25T]

@Samprayer2 Finally someone that isnt completely ignorant.John is fucking amazing.

[alcenirbarbosa]

Now I`m crying of happy. Thanks to post this video.

[666Motorcrush]

Hey, where's lucille? HAHA

[Samprayer2]

HAHa look at John's face at 1:07 !! haha He may be thinking "Hey I'm just a kid in a middle of these guys!" haha its funny seeing him on this stage with so grate guitar players

[msknighttime]

@Samprayer2

I was thinking the same thing.....it has to be surreal

[willjohnsmusic]

"I like that Shit!"

[HeemNHuggie]

I think its hilarious the way Jimmie lifts like his entire hand off the guitar to play one note like Albert King. Lol!

[fotozicca]

LOS DINOSAURIOS ESTAS VIVOOOSSS!!!!

[tompascoew]

Mayers getting too much stick off you guys, he's a terrific blues player so pull your ears out your arse.

[Superthatdudeguy]

Where johnny winters slide! :0

[winterguitarkingyea]

Hey Folks,

When you mention the name John this is the right way "Johnny Winter" The best blues rock guitar Player of all Times ... You heard the fans when it was his turn , lolllll need i say more ? Yeaaaaaa Johnny Winter ...

[bakedsushi]

John can be anywhere he wants to be. He is that good. A blues guitar player he is in fact not. But where he studied music.....WHAT...man he can play anywhere he wants. He knows more about theory than any man up there and I love those guys. John is new to me but he deserves respect . 15 years ago I would have said eric clapton had no place up there.....lol

[fjelly0]

(Where is Jerry?)

They're screaming!

[fjelly0]

You need a lot of pork to change the direction of a lot of hogs.

(Old jungle saying)

[steffenbrix]

Mayer is a nice pop idol with good humor...but in my opinion he has no place here!

[daanborges]

@steffenbrix man, you really should hear some of his trio stuff. Seriously... It's great stuff... Out of my mind, Who did you think I was, his cover of hendrix's song Wait Until Tomorrow, Come when I call... and his Continuum stuff too, like I'm gonna find another you, that's very bluesy... He's a great blues guitar player.

[varnish76]

@steffenbrix Just because Mayer writes commercially successful pop music, it does not mean that he is not a seriously talented world class guitarist

[carmocito]

S.R.V W.Y.W.H.

[joshua9312]

@carmocito In spirit. This was his last song he ever played.

[martinoblues]

en el Olympo de los dioses  ;-) ¡ Maravilloso !

[jackzmad19]

2 people are deaf..

[Samprayer2]

I really love john mayer but he looks like a kid in the stage! hahaha he is the younger! but not the worst, so young and went so far, playing along and at the same stage that these grate guitarists!! loved the video

[fiftieslover]

though the stage is full of great musicians they all playing together at the same time doesnt sound so good.

[TheBuckeyefan1992]

yo where is Kenny Wayne Sheppard

[pecowart]

@TheBuckeyefan1992 ...Ian Moore KWS...Mayer did good,surely inspired...

[merkemp]

Yes, though the generations always torch bearers. Thus song of the slaves will live on.

[johnzermusic]

it's the greatest feeling to know that you are the future of the blues(mayer)

[Thejoeb1one]

only a gibson is good enough

[thifloyd]

the best  best best besttt

[davidabinns]

WOW!:)



[davidabinns]

WOW!:)



[Clubs4Metal]

Buddy's got my guitar!!! :D

[funkfanzzify]

so many. Yes. Smile

[timpatronik]

This is a grab from Clapton's 2010 Crossroads festival in Chicago. The was the grand finale. It was a mighty fine and hot 12 hours of great music.

[music4metoo2]

@timpatronik 2007

[Chipadychuck]

Strat orgy

[vjrbahia]

[simkay1]

[simkay1]

hi this is awesome, thanks for posting! is this on a cd/ dvd anywhere??

[yekill1]

per fabvore non si commenta si ascolta in silenzio ok ragazzi

[Bluesgerd47]

no one ever reaches Johnny Winter.

[matsk830]

amazing!!! ........ and dont you think john mayer has somthing stevie ray about his playing in this video ??

[mattbeermusic]

mayers face at 4:00 "i did it! proud of me?" :PP

[csabraham9]

Did they perform on a Crossroad Festival?

[jrg45721]

@csabraham9 This IS Crossroads bro'

[rcrase]

John is a great player. he's just missing what this guy has:

Do a YouTube search for "Jordan Cook Neighbors." That's what John and everyone else is missing.

[DiamondMusicChannel]

@rcrase obviously not. becuase nobody has heard of him.

[TheHix24]

@andywander..... that reaction was for JMs solo



[DonRMB]

All that talent and the stage didn´t COLLAPSED!?... Múst´ve been made outta the stuff that´s in Superman´s cave.

[MrSmeggypaws]

2 people have no sense of hearing. Or musical taste. Must be Lady Gag-Reflex fans.

[andywander]

I loved teh audience reaction when Johnny started his solo

[metalforlive1]

robben ford is missing! but oh man i like this, i like this very much :D

[dashowest00]

goosebumps to think if stevie was there.

[rylan0715]

@dashowest00 he sent john mayer in his place

[MissLexiStyles]

Wow! I think im having a musical orgasm!

[StatenIslandSlim]

All there is to say is WOW!!!!

[MACfox07]

two people obviously dont appreciate some of the best music ever created

[mahon257]

no description available. or required.

[PwnYouAtSoccer]

hahahaha almost all of them use Strats

[Marco81blues]

Long Live the BLUES

[syrerockdk]

Thank God for my loudspeakers.....WAUGH!

[rishikesh8]

AND BB.KING!

[cklasse55]

Que de talents ... Waou !

[soulfulwaves]

John Mayer playing with these musician symbolizes for me that Blues is not lost

[makeitrain47]

@soulfulwaves too bad he's the only mainstream artist of this generation that's doing it. there's other great blues guitarists, like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, but they're only familiar to guitarists. hopefully I can help keep the blues flame going. i'm not that great yet, but hopefully in a year i'll be pretty good. =)

[MadddSkillzzz]

Stop bitching. I can't imagine Jimi in this Jam. Anybody who says Mayer is an SRV ripoff is a goddamn fool.

[manu1695]

@MadddSkillzzz EXACTLY it's like saying SRV is an Albert King ripoff. Sure, there's the ionfluence but theiy're not ripoffs

[gavivian1]

quiero estar ahi.............

[robinfr93]

this made me cry as ig ot overflow with joy!!

Sob!!

Sob!!

Sob!!

[I3brianzoli]

the stratocaster invasion!



[unfairrocks]

@I3brianzoli lol.oh yes! :P

[plutoniumpeople1]

Well said, "almost excessive" short solos!

[ontariobuds]

and one Lazer

[urmom102697]

HOOOLLLLYYYYY FFUUUUCCKKKKKKKKKKK IM LOSING MY SHIT RIGHT NOW.

[KasparWise]

what can you say? the cream of the Blues at it's best, wish BB had been there too

[LiseH92]

Where was this? I LOVE it! So amazing, can't stop smiling. If anyone has any kind of recommendations for this kind of music, please shout it out! :)) thrilling and beautiful. I'm wow'ed

[TheGibsonman1959]

Why is john here ? This is for Blues greats. he's not straight Blues, and will never be Stevie .... I don't why he tries to play like him. If only Stevie and Jimi were here ... Then it would be a complete Blues Greats show.

[Loomietheman]

@TheGibsonman1959

Is Eric Clapton straight blues? Let me answer that question for you. No. He is there because he is a student of the guitar and could be the next "torch barrier" of the blues. When are people going to realize that he is good at guitar and he is a blues man? get over yourself...no he is not stevie and never will be but John can play the blues better than any other famous main stream musician of today.

[masstarvation]

@Loomietheman I think you might have made a mistake including Clapton's name there.

[jman289]

@TheGibsonman1959 dude just shut up, if all musicians were as closed minded as you music would stay the same forever

[guitarzz24]

its really an honor for john mayer to be able to play with these guys

[LyricFapton]

@guitarzz24 He can match their best playing during the peak of their respective careers, so in that way it's not an honor. He's a freakishly godlike guitarplayer in his own right and he's been playing with B.B and Buddy for a good long while now.

[GeorgianPranks]

1:10 the best moment !!!!!

[noblesiner]

All these guys were great!!! John Mayer is an awesome player, but john no matter how hard you try, or how good you get, you will never be SRV!!!! That goes for all you little kids who are on youtube posting vids doing Scuttle Buttin note for note. I love everything there is to love about SRV but I do hate him a little bit. I hate the fact that he was so great that everyone who has come after simply tries to imitate and aren't trying to innovate. You guys need to be developing your own blues.

[JelleVisserMusic]

where the hell is joe bonamassa ??? :-)

[sgtboomy]

WHERE THE HELL IS B.B KING!!!???

[sgtboomy]

WHERE IN HELL IS B.B KING!!!???

[ILOVEKATIE96]

Was this at a Fender fest or something? All i see is Fender!

[assassin0402]

@ILOVEKATIE96 i guess it's eric claptons crossroads guitar festival. it's the end where all artists play together, in this case sweet home chicargo.

[Giorgigogaladze]

what about Kenny Wayne Shepherd?? he deserves too standing here in front of billion crowd but nobody wants realise that he is one of those greats

[StatenIslandSlim]

@Giorgigogaladze He is still wet behind the ears.....

[jonefc]

Stop hating on John Mayer, he's an amazing blues guitarist

Where the hell is B.B King?!

[Leadsolo92]

@jonefc

The reason alot of people hate on john mayer is because hes a complete jackass with a big ego. He knows hes probably the best blues guitarist of this generation and he uses that.

[MrMakore]

@jonefc bb is with the playing of all the people on the stage..

[WingoldI]

thats what heavens gonna be like right?

[heuteschongefickt]

johnny i love you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

jimmy vaughn was fuckin rippin it apart and we could even hear him

[zero8500]

I also clap on Johnny Winter solo.

[StraitKnopfler]

It's ironic that in a group of predominantly ageing blues artists, it's John Mayer who has the (supposedly) old, beaten-up guitar. Also, I doubt Mayer has felt so much pressure whilst doing a solo in his life.

[bluesrockEd]

funny how almost all of them are playing strats :)

[masstarvation]

@bluesrockEd because that guitar was made for Blues. That's why BB king wasn't there, 'cause this was a strat show. He should be there of course, he's Godlike.

[101Licious]

Is there a full concert on dvd or so available ??

Love this. =))

[martmarine2009]

john mayer is a FAGGOT he shouldn't be up there with these guys.

[101Licious]

@martmarine2009

John isn't a FAGGOT. He's very talented, that's all. One day you'll understand it. =D

[polandsprings09]

@martmarine2009 get a life

[metalguyn]

@nusdorfer wireless you idiot.

[ewbie100]

It's a shame JW wasn't what he was, otherwise he'd SMOKE 'EM off the stage!

[737HarD]

It's really awesome johnny Winter is a True Legend

so you no longer have the speed and attitude on stage people will acclaim

has nothing to prove

[caseyjones67]

i love how when the other guys solo the crowd doesnt do anything but when johnny started they started screaming

[el1ex]

YEAH! WHO NEEDS BB KING?

[huyiy]

@el1ex more like who needs jimmi vaughan?

[el1ex]

@huyiy Nah...jimmie is better then bb king (opinion)

[huyiy]

@el1ex LMAO

[LuccaTotti]

It's so good to see that Johnny still playin' with the same skills he used to have

[donogood]

warum darf ich da nicht live sein?...

rocknrolll

[makeitrain47]

I almost got a headache listening to this! the musical genius and passion is overwhelming!

[rohanbahadur92]

robert johnson would be proud

[ontariobuds]

MAYER IS ONE LUCKY BASTARD!

I would of loved just to of been in the same room as those legends.

[TheZimmy84]

its funny how everyone hates on mayer!!! face it he is the next GREAT !!!!! once we lose bbking and the rest he will be ur idol bitches.

[makeitrain47]

@TheZimmy84 to me, Mayer's the only mainstream musician who got to where he is almost solely on talent and not being hyped by a media who cares about things other than music.

[yojoe71]

kick mayer get b.b!

[davevondo]

Right On

[smithy657]

[willwelsh816]

@smithy657 did anyone else try to imagine what jimi or stevie would look like in this time and mentally place them on the stage after reading this lol?

[frontrowpig]

@smithy657 AND BB King...AND Albert King...AND Albert Collins....AND Alfred King



[q2w3bn876]

@smithy657 And a little Gary Moore to spice things up a bit !!!

[boozelala]

@smithy657

Dude, you're forgetting about one very special player that goes by the name of Rory Gallagher ;)

[mangeldeth74]

Awesome.

[dobbylikesmusic]

[BluesGuitarSG6]

Its great to see all these people playing together,hell they've got the blues!!

[SiKxBlAzEr]

[89easygoer]

@SiKxBlAzEr ....Johnny Winter would make all of these guys walk off stage in his prime. Put that one in your hat buddy!

[SiKxBlAzEr]
