This will never, ever be played again (this whole damn show, by the way) and it hurts, but it's true. Let this be the gauntlet thrown down, aching for a challenger. Not these songs, not these chords, not these rhythms even. But these feelings, these perfect levels of enjoyment and reverence, they thrive in many younger, inexperienced fools, waiting for some enabler to come by and say "Hot damn, that was nice, why don'cha play it a'gin? Let's make them regret what they didn't do. Try and Do.
@lilbill73 Go see Guy in person and name a single person that plays with his tenacity. And then name another person that plays with his skill. If they are the same person, you've found something special and I ask you to share!
@bustaplz I was trying to make the point that music should not be taken competitively. You may like ketchup on your fries and I might like mustard. But check out Devil in a Woodpile. Probably not as tenacious but they are pretty damn good. And rooted in the old blues tradition. Peace
@lilbill73 I didn't mean to imply that these musicians are the best players, I realize that they are not. All I meant to say was that the show this was taken from (there are a few clips available on youtube.) has such a unique and enjoyable air to it, I haven't seen anything like it before or since. What I said about "gauntlets" and "challengers", I really meant about the show in general. Not just the music, but the banter, the jokes, the stories and the smiles. I like bands with long teeth.
@lilbill73 your right this does seem like a fun show. And one to remember. I was just busting your balls a little. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to do that on youtube. Perhaps, it is because no one knows who I am. Therefore unable to find me and spank my ass up and down Asylum St.
WOW he's awsome! It kind of strikes me watching this that the majority of people who really appreciate this kind of music anymore are white people. The original artist probably wouldn't believe that was possible. They made some truly beautiful and amazing music!
I was in the audience that night and i cannot begin to tell you how electric it was. When Guy started to wail, there wasn't a non-goosebumped arm in the house.
And this is from my friend Harvey again, there was a time in this country where they would have arrested you for playing stuff this good and called it Debils music, right on! this was fabulous!!!! Take care good friends! Mark, Harvey and Allyse.
This is from my friend Allyse who was watching this as well tonight and these are her exact words....Very full of energy and inspiring. Would love to hear more! Allyse
My friend Harvey is speechless as we just watched this again, this is some of the best music, especially blues I've heard in a long time. GREAT GREAT GREAT PERFORMANCE BY ALL! Mark
Now this is how it's all supposed to be done, oh! yes! I can feel the soul in all this going on! Lord I want some more of this in my soul, mercy keep on doing some more of this, this is fabulous. I'm taking a hiatus from YT to dive into these blues more. GREAT PERFORMANCE BY ALL! Mark
this is one of the coolest all time videos i ever seen, as a true musician i really appreciate the level of presentation here more than words can express
This band is so fucking great!!!
