  • Does anyone know the name of the full movie? Someone mentions that the clip is from The 1965 American Folk Blues Festival in Europe, but it appears to be the end of a full length film.  If anyone can help, I would love to know the name. Thanks.

  • Bestial, bestial, bestial! Recomand discul amatorilor! Thumb-up!!!

  • Love that vibrato thing Horton does around 1:09

  • Es geniral Big Mamma... es un blues natural.. grandiosa... la señora...

  • Listen up all you Bieber-loving youngsters out there: THIS is music!

  • QUE BUEEEENAAA otro oidos por esos años No es justo que ahora tengamos que escuchar el maldito regueton por todos lados!!!

  • Why do we not have any female artists with this kind of talent today?? She is covered head to toe in clothing and just used her MUSICAL TALENT to command respect. She doesn't need to show off body parts to get respect!

  • Yeah they got that one down

  • que video tan maravilloso amo el blues...el sonido de la armonica y sobre todo a la gente negra...Es lo que más me gusta de ese país del norte por suerte tienen estos grandes interpretes y estas maravillosas personas o si no los odiaria por yanquis, racistas y asquerosos.

  • @niyi8375 estoy contigo

    

  • Yes, it's J,B, Lenoir! This is a video made during the Ameican Folk Blues Festival 1965 tour in Europe done by Lippmann and Rau and included J,B, Lenoir, Eddie Boyd, Freddie Below, Roosevelt Sykes, Mississippi Fred McDowell and Lonesome Jimmy Lee.

  • J.B. Lander she says is actually a gentleman by the name of J.B.Lenoir, and hes one of the greatest bluesmen to ever live. A truly sweet and standout of his time, he wasnt pressing the market as hard as his counterparts at that time. still playing any gigs he could get. Look him up on tracks like talk to your daughter, hes a legend just like the rest of them.

  • Genius!!!! Dat Love Chillin Shaamex1

  • el que no se mueve que le devuelvan su alma

  • UNBELIEVABLE, INCREDIBLE I AM STUNNED BY THIS VIDEO!*****

  • I without words...this is amazing.

  • Good thing Hooker stuck to the guitar

  • @adamjhulk as long as i have been watching this video somebody finally noticed Hooker playing the harp even though his first verse was better then his second lol

  • i never knew that little instrument could be used so good

  • Unglaublich!!! Ich habe Freundestränen in den Augen. Solche Blusmaster alle auf einem Platz zusammen zu spielen zu hören. Großartig!!!

  • caraca que doidera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow! That was fantastic, I loved it. :)

  • this is fucking priceless. Its funny, you hear her playing and she doesnt even really know song structure and still has amazing soul in her singing and playing. In the video of houd dog with her and buddy guy she doesnt even really know the song is coming to an end. Goes to show blues really is a feeling.

    Im gonna busk on the streets of the world some day and hopefully after having felt hunger and loneliness, coldness and homelessness, i can learn the ways of these people. Blues is a feeling.

  • sounding good!

    Shut up about Elvis he is nothing compared to this woman!

  • I am glad John Lee Hooker stuck with a guitar for his musical career.

  • I wish I will someday be able to play harmonica in a half way they did it! This is BLUES! So marvelous!

  • @soundofsarcasm Hey hows the harp comin along for you? It is quite a journey trying to emulate our idols hey? Who are you into? Im a Sonny Boy II, Paul Butterfield and Canned Heat fan.

  • @beninboomba Yeah! I've started to learn two months ago but I still have problems with blowing DIRECTLY to a just one hole - sometimes it doesn't work ;) I love Paul Butterfield, Rysiek Riedel (from the band ''Dżem'') and Tadeusz Nalepa ^^

  • @soundofsarcasm Yeah that can be hard but its the first important step to master. I can only talk for lip pursing, because I don't tongue block, but imagine you are holding a drinking straw between your lips. Thats the shape you want to channel the air through individual holes. And also as you move up and down the harp, dont take your mouth of it from hole to hole. Keep your mouth on it and move the harp through your lips. When it clicks and you get it consistently you will improve very quickly.

  • @beninboomba Thanks for your advice! I really apreciate it!

  • Oh Man~this was Kickin it'~! Thanks for the Fantastick download~I love this vid find more~`

    Big Mama teally kicks it and in the other vid Hound dog as well! Wonderfull find!
