John Mayall,The Bluesbreakers Room To Move(Live)

[HWoerdman]

the song is in F

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

anyone know what key song is in and what key the harp is? Must be a minor key, think it's F

[beaz56]

que buenisima esta cancion tenia mas de veinte años sin oirla, me volvi a mi adolescencia, buenisima...

[wmbrown6]

For all you out there who are Benny Hill fans . . . apparently "The Lad Himself" must've loved this number, as an instrumental rendition of "Room to Move" covered the last 3-4 minutes of the "Lower Tidmarsh Hospital Service" sketch from his very first Thames TV special in 1969.

que sonido  :)

[PeterTravisBooth]

The original recording of this takes me back to the days when I used to listen to records; before the Jean-Michel Jarre's CD appeared.

[dinky334]

pa'caerse de espaldas, GRANDE JOHN MAYALL, joder qe bueno es el tio.

[whomples]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalucinanteeee­eeeeeeeeee.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

great tune, but can't figure out what key of harp he's playing, thought it was an F, does anybody know for sure???

[leitohuevofrito]

can someone tell me which tone hes playing?

[marcris506]

beauteful..what i can see..

[jeffandjune]

Mayall put together some phenominal blues bands including a very young Eric Clapton. You must seek out and purchase the bluesbreakers albums and hear the off tracks. Room to move combined with Goin' back to California still blows me away.

[pommyknocker]

I'm sure there were other British bluesmen before Mayall, but John stands out as unique. Others covered (copied) American blues (usually poorly). Mayall created his own. Like Paul Butterfield, Mayall has a unique, recognizable harmonica style and voice.

It's no accident that his sidemen were great. Their contracts stipulated 8 hours per day practice. Walter Trout told me he practiced "Oh, ALL the time!"

Isn't it wonderful to be BORN with so much TALENT? :D

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@ironmanmc i have played for over forty years and have incorporated elements of Mayall, Butterfield, Jack Bruce and a couple of others into my own style, but true playing comes from the heart, something i learned along the way, long live the blues, peace!!! the bluesman ron

Great video. I'd love to see "When the Devil Starts Crying."

[neohip]

I am just wondering if he was the first British blues man?.

Some people think it was a dwarf that used to jump on the back of hanging criminals in the middle Ages,but I disagree because he wasn't known to be especially musical.

So is John Mayall the first and Greatest British bluesman anyone?

Why hasn't he been knighted yet?.

Why at 76,is he still taking time to talk to his his fans after a concert?

[andynomark]

@neohip Because he hasn't contributed to the NWO.

[neohip]

@andynomark

Well,he's bloody fit for his age,but I can't imagine him as a wrestler!.

[andynomark]

@neohip Droll, how very droll.

[andrewtournavitis]

@neohip

First comes the late Alexis Korner.

Father of Mick Jagger, Eric Burdon Robert Plant, Steve Marriot and other 50 greats.

Of course John had his own school, the Bluesbreakers and everybody knows the history.

In the future all this will be studied in the art schools of music, universities etc.

[neohip]

@andrewtournavitis Thank you,

I have, to my shame,never heard a bar of Mr Korner's music, but have read that he was a great influence.

In todays YouTube age,I have little excuse!.

As far as Mayall goes, think it will look silly "in the future" where scholars of his may possibly be Knighted, when he was not!.

[terrabletim]

i just missed john mayall at wimble stadium in 1971. but not to worry i saw jonny and edgar winter, with rick, mott the hoople. stone the crows, pink ferrie at crystal palace. thoes were the days.

[jacqmact]

Ok this song is the feakin' BEST live!

[penfloyd]

Grandfather of British Blues!!

Congratulatoins on 57 albums and half a century of live performances.....

Truely a Blues Legend.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

absolute classic from one of the men who made the blues famous in the sixties and influenced so many musicians, one of them eric clapton

[xeniusnew]

I was so lucky i saw him in 1976 in Mexico City at El Toreo a bullfight ring.

He was great... Olé Matador Mayall!!!

[paladin520]

In June '83, I was in London. Mayall was scheduled to be at The Marquee Club! Called up for tix, but was told he had cancelled. (don't recall the reason) Man, was I disappointed . . . Mayall in LOndon at the Marquee...WOW!!!!!! Oh well. :(

[HardRock9410]

uff, i had an expierence similar to yours in 2006 when i went to Madrid to see him, but he was ill so it was cancelled -.- but then the next year he came to Granada (my city) and i saw him and he gave me his sign! and buddy withington (his guitarist) gave me his pick! amazing... he is the boss

[neohip]

@HardRock9410

He is currently touring my country to great reviews!.

Many critics have noted that he will stay long after the concert  and sign autographs!.

He doesn't have to at his age,but it is neat (even unexpected) that he still wants to please his fans!

[twylaharp1965]

@paladin520 In Lund, Sweden -86. Was queing (had a ticket) for the venue when suddenly someone knocked on my shoulder. When I turned around it was Mr mayall saying. "Excuse me, band coming through."
