  • believe it or not iron butterfly does the best version i've heard and i love paul butterfield.

  • Are there ANY real live footage videos of Paul Butterfield Blues Band around? The Derek Trucks Band does a nice version of this song and it just serves to make me want MORE ! They don't do it like this anymore...thanks for the post.

  • Whatever, paul butterfield, bloomfield, they sucked. period. boring, badly played, out of tune - anybody from the uk was better. terrible vocals - badly recorded rote blues, repetitively horrible. bloomfield did a few nice things on highway 61 and that was it. OVER RATEd HIPPY BLUES>

  • If it's 1966, I'm pretty sure it would have to be the original Fillmore. If memory serves (a dicey assumption) the Carousel was still doing "straight" shows at that point.

    Great sound quality (for the time); thanks for posting!

  • Lee Dorsey did do this song first and I beleive Allen Toussaint wrote and produced Lee Dorseys version. I like both versions, I do not know why poeple try to push their taste in Music on other poeple.It would be a boring world if everybody liked the same thing. Apples and Oranges.

  • the bass riff sounds like an Amy Winehouse tune.

  • @jhrobbin You mean Amy Winehouse's riff sounds like these guys. You do know which came first, right?

  • my god, these guys were so great. i was a huge fan as i was learning to play in the mid 60's, and these dudes helped me get introduced to the Blues. i began to understand how much the PBBB and so many other white "tribute" bands, loved, appreciated, and respected the old masters. the original forefathers of it all, the great black blues ancestors to which we owe so much.

  • Hey ZINEDINE05 Thank for all the Paul Butterfield stuff, I am a big fan of Paul and Mike Bloomfield.

    My biggest regret is that Paul never came to Australia. I hope that the two are back together again. RIP Paul Butterfield, RIP Mike Bloomfield

  • @roadappleband My Pleasure !!!!!!

  • Do not listen to Lee Dorsey then this guy doing this number no comparison..

    This is Lee  Dorsey's song any one else singing it sounds well.... awful..

  • @kajunmoon Check out one of the many Jerry Garcia Band live versions of this great song. They kick ass....as they pay tribute to a great man and form of music.

  • F.Y.I. I did see Allen Toissant play this one with his band at the San Jose jazz & Blues festival last august...it kicked just as much as Butterfield's blues Band and since it came from it's original source...it was even mo' betta...

  • @buenamezclamusic You mean Dr. John.

  • wow, what a strange approach to recording they had back then...sounds like the band is down in a subway somewhere...great music though

  • @pretorious700 It's a bootleg. Probably recorded in some big hall. The guitarist (particularly Bloomfield) probably used a healthy amount of amp-reverb as well.

  • it really sucks there were no videos of this greatness back then..today theyre wasted on schlock bands

  • Just thought I'd mention this is a cover of the Lee Dorsey original (written by Allen Tousaint). I'm sure most of you knew that but since it hadn't yet been adressed in the comments...

  • I saw Butterfield sing this at the Fillmore in San Francisco in '69. Great memories. Great energy. Mike Bloomfield, the band's guitar player was awesome! Just hearing this, I'm 19 again!

  • @rlesprit dont drop any LSD again whatch out for the brown Acid

  • Had the same girl on my mind for 3yrs..

    Drunken i shouted " Get outa my head women!"

    Suddenly, this song came to mind....full volume!!!

  • very cool, the derek trucks band covers this now, I'm sure these guys would be pleased with his take on it.

  • i heard the doors covering this song...what a cover...them doors guys know how to rock the shit

  • The Doors were big fans of the Butterfied blues band.I heard Kreager in an interview say that the opening riffs for Break On Through were based on Butterfield blues bands version of Shake Your Moneymaker.

  • thx zinedine for the info also some good blues on yer channel ..a man after my own heart

  • Thanks man,I love The Doors too !

  • @ZINEDINE05 When do we hear it, T? lol!!!

  • @stevom31 Where did you hear it?

  • Man, great song. Where can I get my own copy of the???!!! It has an even better groove than the studio version.

  • unfortunately this isnt available comercially. i got my copy from a cat in sweden that i found online!

  • Thanks for sharing a great song!
