[somewhereintyme]

so,Ive seen this film a 100 times..NEVER seen the ending with Hooker and the other guy arguing..that was an outake or what?

[AutomaticSlim1941]

This is part of the extended edition found on the 25th anniversary edition. Originally cut down, along with a few other scenes, due to studio pressure from time length. What was cut out may seem little, but I think it ads some flavor to the film.

[GeneralGonzo15]

Great ending...hahaha

[turkishpower08]

and chuck berry is alive too.. lol..

[makingwinewidraisins]

We're running out of role models? come on! these amazing artists are still alive! there souls live on through the creativity they expressed during there lives. just listen to a louie armstrong tune or some ray charles keith moon drummin their all still with us!

[TonyDrum1994]

noo its taken from the blues brothers film half way through watch the film it is really good

[jaketassie]

hey guys

whats soul food?

[BoojumFed]

The sweetest scene from the best musical ever. And, more importantly, the scene that introduced me to real blues.

Great post, man.

[randythebredeman]

Blues Brothers is undoubtedly, the best musical ever. I think I was in the 7th grade when I first saw the movie. This movie inspired me to start playing harmonica soon afterwards. One of my favorites of all time.

[greyskull979]

i wrote boom boom!

no you didn't :)

[1areyoulookinatme]

heartsmiles

[doenerfbi]

Great music! This is the real deal, real blues.

R.I.P.

[fananas12]

tha best song ever!!

[TalkerWalker]

John Lee Hooker showed in here who is the king :)

[mennorino]

awsome song :)

[seriesdetv]

This movie is a complete pice of honor to the blues and rock and roll Iam spanish man ,now for more a 2 decades live on NY and now enjoy more this movie on his original languaje

[oramikleepunk]

I agree with you...why can't people play like this anymore.

[vegeta2332]

the question is easy...... "PEOPLE have BEEN DUMB SIZES" .. the people in the USA accept music from people like Britney Spears P. Diddy Cold Play and they make them sound like there DIVES Talent or Rock Icons... the bigger part is American Idiot that make the situation worst when people STAY HOME to accept a gum show that is stuck on the bottom of my shoe as TALENT... your question is a great loaded question.. best from New YOrk

[SW57th]

Pop music sales don't speak for the people, just for the marketing schemes that make major money off of visual T & A and processed crap, and this is a universal phenomenon. i'm proud of our African American heritage that brought the blues to America, what a gift they give us, and i just wanted to say, you don't speak for me as an American, but i know your heart's in the right place. Blues is individual and universal at the same time. Isn't JLH AMAZING!!!!

[PTKilowatt]

First off, having had the honor of seeing his last show in Chicago when I was a teenager and having my entire music world stood on its ear, I can safely say that to describe John Lee Hooker takes terms that are beyond such paltry embellishments as Amazing or Incredible.

And I think that feeds into the problem of today's music. People don't like having their world rocked by a musical revelation, no matter what they listen to. Its like politics: They're right, you're wrong, and that's it.

[getalife04]

Damn I love the blues! Absolutely no other music gets to EVERYONE. I don't know anyone that doesn't like the blues and feel it in their soul.

[killermichi2]

I love this song

[TrunksandAren]

same here

[KCJohn62]

If that didn't get her back home, she wasn't  gonna be back.

[keta333]

I love this old boogie blues,sad blues, junkie blues.have we run out of the blues?common I still got the blues.

[queenGUITARgod]

what is the key of this song?

[karl198]

BLUES!

[queenGUITARgod]

blues is not a key it's in a key

[karl198]

I know :P i was only joking. The guitar in this is tuned up to F incase u were wondering.

[Wacokid48]

this version is in F...but play it in E...the best of the major keys..

[dash1141]

Boom boom boom boom!

[Klogekob]

gotta love that movie

[chrispdx]

Genius

[bastus666]

legenda blusa

[krogulech]

hau hau hau hau powah!

it rocks

[lemonite1]

Thats Maxwell street in Chicago. Does anyone remember a deli there that used to serve the best pastrami sandwiches in da world? Does this place still exist?

[Rajalord27]

Na dude its probably a starbucks now although my uncle remmembers the deli

[PTKilowatt]

Unfortunately it got absorbed when UIC expanded over the original Maxwell Street Market. Shame really. While UIC is my alma matter I would gladly give back a bit of education to get the Market back.

[lemonite1]

Shame, really. We used to call UIC a buffer zone btwn the North and South sides. I don't know about now, but when I lived there 25 yrs ago, Chicago was a very racist/segregated city. Even so it had great art, music and food. I live in NYC now and there are things I miss about Chicago.There are prices to pay for the gentrified/homogenized world. I hope the Checkerboard Lounge and Lem's Bar-b-q still exist.

[gulfcoastgal48]

lol the ending was pretty funny

[SR0Penne0Brillo]

fantastic song, fantastic movie!

[kenshinro7]

I thought I heard this song in a movie now I know which one, blues brothers rocked

[mundstuhl9]

the movies name ist "the blues brothers"

[m2vick]

wow did you figure that out by yourself? its said in the title and in the description

[ScottyD010]

man the blues is my favorite music next to rock n roll. this was a great movie too.

[MauriceFlower]

Love it! The music, energy, the scene - everything!

[emmbee]

best scene of the movie.

[Halfdragon]

Hearless bastards! Why in all that's awesome, would they cut this up!?

[v3rsu5]

to bad for spanish subs... they arent even right...

[thecoyote]

I have never seen the extended version. Thank you for posting.

[Jack24688]

I can't help but wonder why this got cut?

It's brilliant

[SR0Penne0Brillo]

it wasn't cut out..

[lissluis]

i love this song

[baskinmays]

this is what todays music is lacking heart and soul.

[thecoyote]

Amen!

[HabaneroTck]

Amen to that

[spikonaleash]

good ol jake and ell wood

[b25364]

I can't take it like that!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MCWaxMax]

I love blues! And Mr. Hooker is the king, so why should there be a bad comment?

[sidiqmk]

my dad gets an eargasm everytime he listens to this part..

[Bluzer86]

some members of the band are from the Muddy Waters band, one of the classics, great song

[ApollonasKalamarias]

Elwood: "Yeap"

[luisACDC]

lol "a song wrote" "no you didnt. no you didnt." lol "i wrote boom boom" love that part and the song

[zxr92]

It's too bad they didn't use this full version in the movie! It's great!!

[markfoot]

[veryandy2]

[lactoserum]

C'EST SI BON!!! VIVE LE BLUES! PEACE TO JOHN LEE HOOKER! ( je pense a ma mere qui adore ce grand eternel artsite ).

[pershing22]

that discussion afterwords is so funny!

JLH ''thank ladies and gentlemen. that was ''Boom Boom'', a song wich i wrote back in the 50's!

- ''No ya diden't !!''

JLH ''yes i did!''

- ''No ya diden't !!''

Hilarious! ...Boom Boom Boom Boom... how how how how... Héy c'mona home babe! love it!

[gmoneygripp]

This is just fantastic!

How did we go from this to Soulja Boy?!?

[anngbaby]

lol

[ciaran66]

music is still brilliant, just not the popular stuff, check out krs-one, murs or immortal technique if you want to know what hip hop is really about, and i agree, this music is fantastic, but no style or genre can last forever, and to be honest i dont think anybody really listens to soulja boy, just teenagers, so dont worry, his career wont last long

[ChippyMcBeal]

awsome!!!!!!!

[kingsuji]

Oh man,

My father would take me to Maxwell Street (Jew Town) when I was 8 or 9. I wanted to stop and hear the music but he wanted to buy socks and shirts.

Boom,boom, boom, boom.

Kingsuji

[jerumaria]

that voice feels everything, and makes it all sound so fucking GOOD

[Mattvvff]

that's boom boom a song that i write in the ' 50

-no you didn' t!-

-I write boom boom-

-no you didn' t-

AWESOME

[reggaebomb]

yé man boom boom boom

peace !

[doctorx3]

Absolutely love this. I'm so glad Landis restored the full performance, even if it's just a DVD extra that didn't fit with the movie's pacing.

Great slice of life from early '80s Chicago, and document of a blues legend. Hooker was king of the endless boogie, and inventor of the shuffle blues. Those bare bones riffs and melodies could hypnotize father time and stop the clocks.

[chalalaz]

Don't you see it? 84 comments, all positives, everybody saying "this is music" and "we love the sound, the lyrics, etc..".

WE CAN'T BE WRONG! THIS MUSIC WILL RULE FOREVER (and JHL too!)

[CHICAGORICAN32]

no one makes music like this any more!!!!!!!!!!!

[antirasict245]

I love this song!

[panicatthedisco04]

oh my god!!!!!! oh my god!!! ho ho ho ho! i know all of your inside jokes im so hott love ya like a sis' sweetie kisses babe! hahaha i love this joke! like lol!

[veale728]

I'm not really a fan of blues, but I gotta say... I love this song.

[bassquake1986]

those are probably the coolest shoes i've ever seen, go JLH!!!

[kaccio5]

great John!!

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

100th 5 star rating <-----

Intro's amazing. And its heavy too. Shows where early Led Zep's sound came from...

[ezernut9mm]

thanks for adding this. been looking for a while.

[buffalobilly]

this song wasn't even on the blues brothers soundtrack album. a cryin' shame!

[zeelik]

Unedited version. Very good.

[Nikman1991]

Its A great Song!

[doctorx3]

that's awesome

[bryananders187]

This is the best version of boom boom ive heard. Anybody know how to get it? I cant find it.

[bananer0]

This song is pretty fun to play on the guitar

[key2highway]

I wish the would have left this full scene in the movie. It's great!

[Wendesungoesdown]

wouldnt ya be shittin it playin wit a legend like that ! i love this song

[fend14]

[viskozal]

Big Walter Horton on harp

[fend14]

[dylanfan1969]

This man can be copied, but never duplicated.

[wojtekjemiola]

Big Walter Horton

[cuco1271]

jajajajajaa !!!! vale es en plan coloquial jajajaj!!!

[cuco1271]

con esta musica no puedes parar de moverte tio Como me gustaaaaaaa!!!!

[cedricleecason]

I've watched Blues Brothers over and over and have it recorded now on DVR, but never have seen this extended version...great.

[gelidflesh]

Miles Davis told Hooker that he was the funkiest man alive.

[ImOrTaLiTy159]

its awesome how soul writers can compare their lyrics to real life situations-well i can

[baroquemonody]

Ah HOW HOW HOW HOW... <3

[madboyvenezuela]

I LOVE THAT BEAT.

[dLimboStick]

Ho ho ho ho!

[mrrusss]

There is more entertainment value in this one slurring guitar part than in every blazing fast, sweeping, wanking, arpeggio-derived solo played since 1980.

[thenash19]

great! thx alot

[berryberry345]

Probably one of the most incredibile films to ever be made, 100% pure class so good.

[Guttersnap]

This is one of the best recordings of this song that I've ever heard. So raw and pure. F*cking amazing.

[Chrissi020288]

John Lee Hooker is made of 100 percent pure awesome

[Bassbrewer89]

!

no way this is best MUSIC scene!

my favorite is the car chase. very funny!

[rustednails]
