GOD !!!

[lmgnandt]

No one does this song like John Lee Hooker

OOOO Baby

[Tyronethe23rd]

I don't think this is 1962 or 1992.

I'm familiar with the song from "The Blues Brothers" (filmed 1979, released 1980).

If I had to guess, I'd say this was early 70s.

No...this is a blues classic, it was recorded 1961.

[Tyronethe23rd]

He may have recorded it in 1961, but I'm saying that this performance doesn't look like 1961. It would probably be in black and white, for one thing. Watch a video of the Everly Brothers or Paul Anka or someone like that from circa 1961, and you'll see the difference. In this case, the grainy color film indicates late 60s or early 70s.

[buzwazfuz]

they have world war II footage in color, so why wouldn't they have color video in 1961

[MrMcGoggles]

@buzwazfuz Colour is shit expensive to develop. Try paying a few thousand to get a couple hundred rolls of colours developed or a few hundred for B&W. Plus this is colour, just not high quality. The guitar is red.

[tremold2043]

you may have forgotten.. the everly bros & paul anka sucked. so maybe they got shittier quality film.

O negão é a lenda da bagaça!!!.....

[standardride]

this is not 1992

[avannieoh]

Oh, yeah. This is great. Saw him about twenty years ago, and he was great--played and played. My son's now learning to play this song--it goes on.

[loverory]

[odissey04]
