Terraplane Blues [Remastered] ROBERT JOHNSON (1936) Delta Blues Guitar Legend

[YepStillOutThere]

Outstanding remastering. Can't forget this CLASSIC. But then in fact I do actually drive a '34 Terraplane convertible and live near San Antonio, TX.

[theroland1983]

Thanks for making these remasters available, incredible music, noone played the blues like this man, and I mean noone. Nothing beats a glass of scotch and some robert johnson at midnight.

[dannydesse]

I can't believe he's so unappreciated. Wonderful music.

[comixmcj]

Oh my how sweet this is! thank you

[gradyrostenmusic]

this song changed my life when i was 12

[gradyrostenmusic]

early country blues i guess …..down here in south we call it delta blues

[crazycharleydALA]

And, remember, Robert used to jam with Johnny Shines from Tuscaloosa, Alabama...... never forget him.....

[popsmaw49]

Every young guitar stud who thinks he has cracked the code of playing the Blues should hear this treasure of a recording...they will discover that they have only scratched the surface. Robert Johnson and Charlie Parker ARE THE BLUES...everybody after them are simply imitations....they may come close, but no cigar.

[PhoenixMacabre]

@popsmaw49 I must agree, the Blues now days is not even close to the same as these early recordings.

[musiclover9361]

"Now you know the coils ain't even buzzin'; little generator won't get that spark.

Oil's in a bad condition; you gotta have these batteries charged. I'm crying pleeee-ase, pleee-ase, don't do me wrong!" Absolute genius! So frigging hard to sing along in time to it, never mind trying to play the f****r!

[louiseduvee]

The only song he did that sold a few. Lord, what people CAN'T hear for themselves will never fail to amaze me. Thanks!

[Pentagonshark666]

To me Robert Johnson is the greatest and best blues singer who ever

lived.and agree with this that a lot of have forgotten this legendary blues

man.RIP.

[trancentralovertone]

yeah, driving my terraplane

[HANK313]

The King of Blues!

[bluesguitarist93]

has anyone ever heard the foghat version of this song? it is indeed amazing

[OGstains]

This sounds ridiculously hard to play :L

[clapton1958]

@OGstains It is ridiculously hard to play. Then there's singing over the top as well. Christ, Robert Johnson was a motherfucker with that guitar.

[PPOIRI000]

Wow! Absolutely amazing remastering job here.

Thanks Ragtime!

[jakerandall123]

Mr. Johnson is the Father of all Rock......Love this man so much...He brought us the sound of it all......

[ThinkerMister11]

This is sped up. needs to be slowed down to about 90%. then u will hear the real RJ.

[nemojdamekoljes]

@ThinkerMister11

That's what John Wilde says, but he doesn't really offer any evidence... Though it's true OKeh sometimes sped up the recordings. Nobody can prove what was the real speed because nobody can check the original sources.

Besides, does is that really important? RJ's music is so full of soul that even the slowed versions show his amazing style and his technical possibilities...

[fctchk]

Superb sound, you can really hear how he gets that hard driving effect with the strumming and string damping, way down in Arkansas.

[Pentagonshark666]

I like Robert Johnson's music.he was a brilliant musician.

[unklelemmy]

This is my all time favorite blues song.

[JacquelineGaertner]

happy 99th birthday!!!!!!, too bad he didnt get to live till' this day...

[2c4u22]

I think I've actually SEEN Robert Johnson in concert. Am I just dreaming that??

Sure made the rounds on the Chicago music scene 30 years ago....time to visit Wikipedia....

[2c4u22]

@2c4u22

Ooops...Robert Johnson died at 27 in the thirties.

What an extraordinary musician.

I must have heard his tunes from someone else who was joyfully keeping this great music alive 20 years ago.

SMART MOVE!!!

Let's see...........................­..Keith Richards?

lol

[lilmissBuddha86]

omg! u just hear the soul and honestly i feel that its way beyond the word soul way BEYOND!!

[TenTonHorse]

I'm not kidding, that little melody at 1:21 to 1:28 is literally rock and roll without the electricity, it has such much groove and attitude!!

[guinnesstrail]

Epic. Listen close, kids, for here you find the birth of the Rolling Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin.

[stemark1957]

Stones in my passway?

[RickyShades]

@stemark1957 lol ... I think that he had 2 sets of lyrics for this music and couldn't decide on either one, so he recorded them both.. Love them both, although my preference is "stones in my passway."

[2damnoldforUtube]

Foghat did an excellent cover of this on their second album. I can't find it on YouTube though.

[MrPozzoz]

And I feeeeeeeeeeeeel so lonesome !!!!!

[itsfloodindownintex]

wheres the devil? i wanna sell my soul

[guinnesstrail]

@itsfloodindownintex

You called, my son.

[FreeTheGhetto]

"I gotta woman that Im lovin, wayy down in Arkansas.."

[z1inspector]

Robert plant & jimmy page love this song!

[monosevenmusic]

This sounds good. How was it remastered?

It sounds better than the versions I have on CD.

[FTIBand]

They probably have the original recording that was made in the studio. they can use modern technology to make it sound better. I don't mean to dumb it down but i didnt really know how much musicial knowledge that you have :)

[louiseduvee]

The engineers removed the white noise by mixing in sound waves of the same frequency, but with opposite polarity, so they cancel each other. the S/N ratio was, of course, improved.

[monosevenmusic]

How did you know this? Do you have a copy on CD?! Thanks for the info I am listening to the Vivaldi playlist on your channel.

[louiseduvee]

I'm a spectrophotometrist, I used all kinds of waves, from ultrasonic to microwave to UV to nmr (used in MRI imaging). Sound waves are similar. I mean, a wave is a wave. It's like knocking a missile out of the sky with another missile.

[2c4u22]

@louiseduvee wow...what a comment

[louiseduvee]

@2c4u22 Thanks:)

[2c4u22]

@louiseduvee

My pleasure. :-)

[sirhill77]

...Impressive, trully impressive...

[blckwmn215]

i will say it sounds better than the recording we had for class which was the original.. but its unfortunate i still i have no idea of half the things he say.. but i still like it

[FTIBand]

which part I studied the lyrics before I performed this song a few months ago

[blckwmn215]

lol basically the good majority

[roosterIX]

Love Mr. Johnson. I'm actually gonna bar BQ tonight and play him all night!!

[93steven]

sounds like my kinda night

[Bumblebee38]

Hi ......What do you mean by Remastered ?

[louiseduvee]

@Bumblebee38 Don't worry. This is the original, minus a ton of white noise. Good question!

[MrMudneck]

the stuff i got'll bust yer brains out baby, hooo, itll make ya lose yer mind. hehe nother good song in that breakin down.

[zappaloverforever]

MrMudneck? I LOVE THE NAME!!! BTW, do you REALLY have some good Johnson tracks? Send me a friend invite and some vids, if so...I'd love to hear 'em!! :-)

[zappaloverforever]

I can't believe there's only ONE comment on this FANTASTICALLY remastered song/video. Could it possibly be that THAT many people, have forgotten, about this LEGENDARY blues-man?!? I sure hope not...anyhow, this truly IS; AWESOME!! RagtimeDorianHenry, THANKS SO VERY MUCH for sharing this!! I, for one, am extremely thankful to have heard this as it is very hard, it seems, to find the ACTUAL Robert Johnson songs and esp. w/so much clarity & GREAT sound quality!! :-)

[RagtimeDorianHenry]

wow thanks for your comment !

[2c4u22]

@RagtimeDorianHenry ditto on the thank yous

[kingsfull666]

lol look how many views there are, only 369...I'm willing to bet a lot of those are from people who found this version and just can't get enough of it. I know I've listened to this like 20 times in the past week:)

[zappaloverforever]

kingsfull666, I wasn't talking about views, but comments - such a wonderfully recorded (& remastered) clip, it seems more people would take the time to let the man who put this on here know what a fantastic job he did...but I'm very glad to hear (as I didn't note that, before I posted) that there have been much more views. Also, I'm very pleased to "meet" another fan of Mr. Johnson! :-)

[VioletGiraffe]

We remember Robert Johnson.

[Dreadmore]

"whos been driving my terrplane for you since ive been gone"

great stuff, love Robert Johnson
