Baby Please Don't Go Compilation

[Highland45]

What about Budgie's version? If you hear their version you'll see where the Aerosmith & AC/DC covers came from.

[verodemode]

excellent compilation!!!

[01superjack]

Can you please upload a video of the entire Taste/Gallagher version that's on this video? I love it!

[krautfranz]

Journalist: "So, Jimi, how do fell being the best guitar player in the world"?

Hendrix: "I don't know, you should ask it to Rory Gallagher"

[mrumsower]

I vote lightnin hopkins

[12stringguy]

Great video showing a lot of the various versions of "Baby Please Don't Go". I personally have a soft spot for the "Taste" (Rory Gallagher) version and the AC/DC version featuring Bon Scott. Fantastic tune - as shown by the numerous versions.

[carot2003]

Great video..

[mercuryforeva]

I prefer the Aerosmith version the best, than the AC/DC version :)

[mercuryforeva]

I prefer the Aerosmith than the AC/DC version :)

[foolaloof]

rub a lamp...pud

[harmonicabill]

[NoRosesForMe]

Thank you for posting this. Very special. Thanx...and Rory is the best btw. ♥,,,,besides Lightnin Hopkins.

[onceveinte]

Buen video aunque te faltó poner a rey charles

[MrKingsnake1]

MORE KICKASS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

[ar2619]

Great compilation of a song that still continues to influence so many.

[btoisawesome]

john kay & the sparrow did a great cover of baby please don't go, in my opinion the best, but all the versions are very good

[vimanue]

SE MAMO!!!!! POCA MADREEEEEEEEEEEE...... (translate) Impresive mr. padraig314 ...just stoned... that's xactly what I need for my band

[jackass2012fsu]

My favorite is the AC/DC version but you forgot another great version by Ted Nugent...but good video didnt know that many people had done a version of this song.

[TheDylanm123]

And where is Van Morrison's version?

[tomg212]

Was Mississippi Fred McDowell Snoop Dog's Granpa? LOL

[nothingbutrock666]

AC/DC and Aerosmith were my favourites,but BIG congrats to Big Joey 'ere for the original recording of the song

[RATTTHEPUNK]

id recommend budgies version to this comp. its very unique. reminds me of tastes version

[mdejong140]

yeah fred is the best there was only one guitar and he sounded like an entire band

[zthetha]

Big Joe's version is - as they say these days - iconic, but I think Mississippi Fred is just as good. For my money this has got to be a one man job - Dylan does it great- but I don't think it works at all by rock bands.

[Dude2012iffy]

Have never heard a bad cover of this song. Is it the song? Some say one is better than the other and others claim 'irreverence' to its origin. It is simply a great song.

[bermudezestrada]

a mi no me gusta la de ac/dc

[avalon665]

AC/DC and Aerosmith were the best

[bucurdragos]

Mr Basescu please go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[0Reilly08]

I'm delta blues fan and player, so nothing beats those versions. That's what i love about those players is how distinct their individual approaches are from one another. All those rock wankers are covering, almost note for note, the quintessential blues rock hit from 1964, by British band "Them". That was albeit a great version, but it's too bad they probably never heard, the original and worked up their own cover. Kudos to "Them" for doing so, otherwise johnwayne said it best...............

[pokemonking555]

ok you may like the big joe williams but i love the ac/dc one

[kingofthemosh]

Personal favorite would have to be Lightnin's version. That man's blues are just filthy.

[sportsmediaamerica]

is there even a chord change in this song? probably popular because it is as simplistic as they come. doubtless other blues songs have been covered as much.

[woolythesheep]

All these versions are great and as the writer and original artist of the song Big Joe deserves to be the focus of this compilation but surely the most famous and commercially successful version on which AC/DC, Taste etc based their own takes on this classic is the Them/Van Morrison version, a big hit single in the 60s, barely given any recognition in this vid?

[manning55]

AC/DC is the best one

[bluvandyke]

and proberley the best version is by gary glitter but people are frightened to admit to liking him any more due to idiots calling them pedo when it is the man himself (gary Glitter) not his songs or music and i stand out and say i loved his records just dont like what he has done but it does not change how i feel about his records

[bluvandyke]

[MrPokerJoe]

It's too bad you couldn't find a clip of Willie & The Poorboys (Bill Wyman, Ron Wood, Charlie Watts, Jimmy Page, Andy Fairweather Low, Mel Collins, Kenny Jones and Ringo Starr et al) to add to this great compilation. Their arrangement is dynamite. Great job on putting it all together.

[jimboinlimbo]

First time I ever heard this song was from Ted Nugent. I assumed it was one of his until I heard AC/DC. Then I heard Van Morrison do it and thought he must have been the original artist. It wasn't until the invention of the internet that I discovered how deep the rabbit hole goes...

[admanphoto]

Brilliant compilation mate, well done.

To all the "experts" who are more interested in corrections and nit picking....LOL! You guys are unintentionally hilarious!

[Posdejaver]

and Gary Glitter??

[LP522]

I played in a Portland punk band called The Inputs back in the late 70's. Our first gig was opening for The Wipers, and this was the first song they played during their set. They had me hooked!!

[harley9967]

Web Wilder does a good cover too with a cool little story about Big Joe in the middle.

[dudeacdc]

VERY GOOD!! i liked it very much!

[EpiSGeeinator]

what about ted nugent

[guitarmercy]

and of course the great big joe

[guitarmercy]

muddy !!! is the best

[LouisLeGros]

I love the AC/DC cover because of how they could make the song theirs & so energetic/upbeat.

Big Joe still created a masterpiece

[wolverine84]

Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes too.

[TheBronson13]

Big Joe Williams the pride of my hometown Starkville, Mississippi!!!

[Natalie78644]

Hey, my family is just down the road from you. 8 miles west of Columbus. I agree with Woverine84, next to big Joe's later versions Ted did the best cover, that surprises me. Big Joe's 1935 origional wasn't that great,

[LefukiPaTuBuki]

AC/DC!!!!!!!!!!

[sergigahr]

what about the "them" version the old van morrison version

[FelipeValde57]

is missing the cover of budgie

[Moonman540]

where on earth can i get the bob dylan recording of this? vynil or cd i dont care!

[kawliga55]

nice job on the vid...cool school!!

[MrColossal1]

big bill broonzy?

[roamingrino]

Hmmm, I need a hit. I know Lets make a rock cover of a blues standard.

[tnb35]

why did you add AC/DC

and what about ray charles

[tnb35]

and T-Bone Walker

[giacomelluc]

It's better with Ted Nugent...That's my opinion.

[idlewildsouthstudios]

Dang Padraic!..Totally awesome video! Loved it..:)

[famouspogs]

where the fuck is thems version?

[galaxyrock]

Yeah, Them's version should definitely be on here, since it's the basis for the versions by the Amboy Dukes, Taste, AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Eric Bell.

[MrBluesman2]

ERic BEll!!

[evangelionale]

ACDC=1

[hellraisingirondude]

fucking GREEEAT..i first heard it with AC/DC, then when i discovered theres like a million of covers for the song XD i think tastes version is one of the bests, 'cause his version had a lot of covers, but big joes is great

[Tsunami59Returns]

i got hooked on this song from ac/dc, but Big Joe Williams' version is the best

[baptist]

robert cray should be mentioned dude

[Faidros62]

Nice compilation but you missed my favorit cover version of this gem. Budgie´s version is IMO the best rockversion. Check it out!

[HoserIN]

Aerosmith----Loud and Dirty! I love it! Nothing wrong with that song going that direction!

[woodsur]

3. Lightnin' Hopkins

4. Mississippi Fred McDowell,good versions

[edcerc]

what about joe williams? his is probly better than hopkins.

[lol4375]

Shut up all!!!!!

Listen the master....

[metyuewb]

Rory Gallagher never had a CLUE about blues and Fred McDowell's recording isn't thirties you moron

[padraig314]

Rory Gallagher is a great blues player regardless of your ignorant opinion. I never claimed Fred McDowell recorded that version in the 30's. I also have no involvement in any of those "white bands" who recorded it i just compiled this video, and i can't for the life of me figure out why you're so aggressive, grow up.

[metyuewb]

FUCK YOU man, HOW COULD YOU RUIN MISSISSIPPI FRED MCDOWEL'S VERSION WITH ALL THOSE SHIT WHITE BANDS

[Rags1Lovett]

"Them" also do a version: best band version. Taste are a load of wank in my opinion.

[Rags1Lovett]

Ha, just read the other comments. Thought i'd remind you once again that "them" also do a version.

[padraig314]

Yeah, it's ironic that the Van Morrison version is even mentioned towards the end of the video but clearly no one watched that far.

[CinnAlla]

@padraig314 Interesting compilation. I have one comment: I'm not about to say that Taste, AC/DC, Eric Bell, and Aerosmith never listened to earlier (black) recordings, BUT their versions are all derived from the version by "Them"/Van Morrison - guitar licks, everything.

[funeralofxhearts]

all hail Augustana's version of this song.

[medokruskar]

great work!

thx

[joebrassmonkey]

I had no idea Taste recordes this!

[lsegafre]

hey where the version from The Them ?!!

[thereagauze]

there's a million versions not represented here, van morrison fans are like obsessed by the omission judging by the comments here though.

[eposz2]

Lest we forget about the extasy of early Them feat Van Morrison!

[honved1]

glad i wathced that,great music

[haddepad]

Great Compilation,

thanks

[Jawblues]

Actually i like the Yardbird version more

[garymb350]

I like the John Lee Hooker version best not even mentioned.

[bshuja5]

all great versions but van the man should be in there

[Ledvolta]

I want to hear that.

[47LSD]

AC/DC seem to be mentally retarded, seriously

[padraig314]

The whole band or just Bon Scott?

[Socks247]

why?

[johnwayne19892007]

fred mcdowell is the fucking man!!

[padraig314]

He sure is, i used the video from "Going down to the River" for this, it's something everyone should watch.

[ieufiuuuudfudsuiduds]

should have van "the man" morisson's version on there, brillint otherwise!!

[padraig314]

well i didn't have it at the time so that's why i put it in the apologies but i also realised afterwards that i do have the Doors version on a bootleg cd that i'd forgotten about, i'm considering making a second part.

[blackout1991]

Missing, Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes!!!???

[AeroCanuck]

Aerosmith version kills them all!!!!!:)

[Tubascope]

You fail. Aerosmith's is one of the worst. Big Joe's many versions are my favorites, but Muddy and Lightnin's versions are great too.

[angusholden]

agreed mate, muddys, lightnings and Big joes are great,

aerosmith, not great

AC/DC version is GREAT!

[bloodpollution21]

I think Aerosmiths version would've sounded better if it wasn't so messy sounding.

[michaelfanthom]

btw did the original come from wilie dixon?

[padraig314]

Spoonful is it? Charley Patton recorded it first and Willie Dixon's is based on that but is quite different. The Cream version is very similar to the Dixon version.

[michaelfanthom]

So Charley Patton then. Thank you for the information. I was always wondering who amade the song...

[NecroNudistt]

also budgie and mc5 somewhere sometime recorded this tune

[padraig314]

I know the budgie version alright but i've never heard mc5 doing it, i'll have to look out for that. Thanks.

[michaelfanthom]

Ten years after did the spoonfull, and the canned heat did it also. But you're right there's no way to get those videos, but thanks for considering the sugestion. Anyway this is beautifull...

[michaelfanthom]

This is just too great. Do you thinh you could do the same thing for a song called SPOONFULL: I think it has been covered at least ten times also... I would be gratefull.

[padraig314]

Thanks man. Spoonful would be harder to do because apart from the Howlin' Wolf and Cream versions getting a video would be a pain, i don't think there are any video recordings of Charley Patton. Who else did Spoonful apart from the above, Willie Dixon and The Who, did The Grateful Dead do it? That would be six anyway

[BlindPegLegPaul]

My bad. I didn't even see Muddy listed there.

[padraig314]

The Muddy Waters version is a particularly cool version too. Check out Krahsnif's channel for the full one, it's in the related videos.

[BlindPegLegPaul]

No video for Muddy Waters' version?

[krahsnif]

Great stuff Padraig,Thanks for a great vid.Cheers from Krahsnif.

[p1nkfl0yd]

Probably my favourite song of all time. Excellent video!

[crawdad1]

van the man with them???

[padraig314]

I'm sorry man, i don't have the Van Morrison/Them version. Wasn't 10 versions enough?

[crawdad1]

thats the problem with lists mate...at the very least, if you weren't aware of the them version, now you have a new one to enjoy...it's my fave

[santacruezz]

Great, i liked it alot! Other versions of this song I really like are the ones from Budgie and Pride & Glory.

[padraig314]

Thanks for watching santacruezz.

Budgie's version isn't bad alright, i'm not familiar with the Pride & Glory version however.

[millefeville]

Great stuff.

[daviemcf]

Hey Padraig,I never knew Taste covered this classic Muddy Waters track,btw where's the version by Them?

[padraig314]

I don't have the version by 'Them' actually, that's why Van Morrison is in the apologies. I thought ten versions was plenty anyway.

I think againstthegrain57 posted the Taste one before, i have it on 'Live at the Marquee '68' anyway if you want me to send it to you.
