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.
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.
@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...
@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.
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!
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.
Me and a buddy listened to this from the street outside the Matrix, since we where not old enough to be admitted. Memories! Thanks for the upload! Keep them coming:)
believe it or not iron butterfly does the best version i've heard and i love paul butterfield.

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
