[burnabit]

Clarence could pick up anything and play the hell out of it. He always had kickass horns with him too. Tried to give him a check for a signed cd and he looked at me and said, "Ya know I don't take no checks" I had no cash and I understand why he wouldn't but damn......I will listen to him til I die.

[bigsamable1]

WOW!

[tamineat]

[Atlantis8788]

@jbbets Passed in 05 right after Katrina destroyed his home. He jammed the shit out of the montreux festival in 04 alongside Santana and Buddy Guy.



[MrBandre2]

@jbbets Gatemouth Brown passed away in Sept 2005

[jbbets]

great video man! The tenor sax player, Homer Brown, that's my dad. I was glad to see the video of him and gate on here.

[Harpsucker]

is he still playing somewhere

[meleethe13]

Wow.Good job!

[barisax2000]

We had a lot of fun that night in Hamburg at Unkle Pos.. Ended up on the Grosse Freiheit afterward.

[Harpsucker]

are you Joe Sunseri? if so i admire your work

[NRAforlife67]

My fellow Texan and one of my three spiritual advisors. Clarence happened the way its supposed too. There for good people to discover.

[Nothin66]

Soooooooooooooo! Funky! & natural! Swingin' lettin' it loose.......gotta love that. You can't fake this spirit. Folks we're certainly gettin' their money's worth on this night.

Yeah.

[bry3921]

i knew him, but i'm ashamed, i've really been sleeping on him. great original guitar player! chicken plucking tones, and so many more in a effortless tight groove. The band is tight for sure, but tight like compact, dense. comic and serious at the same time he should be raised up and praised. Damn, it's just so funky!

[JG92987]

"Dollar Got The Blues" Is as relevant today as it was then, I knew "Gatemouth" was a virtuoso musician playing several instruments,

but a political song writer. A candidate should use this song as their theme. Check out his Song called "sometimes i slip" on iTunes, TOO COOL FOR WORDS!!!!!!!!

[CrossBonesAlex]

Sheriff Gatemouth Brown is the man - You cannot beat this funk and groove and soul and......Yeah!!! What an original and unexpected outro - perfect!

[504NightWard]

Wow this is Good when Im High yall, Gatemouth got me llistening deep and my mind transform, I was raised Houston born 12th Ward New Orleans, so you got a prblm wit dat I suggest you get at me

[Colette1107]

The man loved this song and all the jazz lick that go with it. What great touch on the guitar. True Gatemouth style. Great Performer. Louisiana Born...Texas Raised. The best of blues...one of the first artist to use the capo. Thanks for sharing this video. Gatemouth a class act on and off stage. Port Arthur, TX Loves you man. RIP

[elletsco]

holy crap. that's all i have to say.

[jmorra]

That tone! I love the pinched notes -- I guess only bare fingers can do it. Love the voice too. -- He was hilarious as an old man -- you should have heard him rip on hip-hop -- he called it "a bunch of damn fools jump'n around like chickens with their heads cut off -- it's like a disease!!!"

[mysterycooper]

Got his autograph right infront of me above my desk. Spent the day with him whilst assisting a photographer during early nineties blues festival in New Orleans. Hung out at his house, played his guitar, great guy. Best live show at the festival. No one could touch him. Even BB.

[DaanieBoy]

I definately enjoyed that performance. Going in my favourites! :D

[peterscottfrost]

"Dollar Got the Blues" could be the theme song of the Ron Paul for president campaign! :D

[LazarusLonger]

Dayum. Tearin' it up. Great posting.

[rock5ta12]

wow...

[lvcmike]

Caught him again in late '79 at Dooleys in Tempe, still selling his own tapes and vinyl.

(yeah, I got my LP autographed, Yeah, I'm cool)

The man's stature is legendary; our grief and loss can barely be imagined.

[lvcmike]

I "discovered" Clarence at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole, WY in 1975. A co-worker in the Teton Park said that he was packin' 'em in, so we all piled in the station wagon and had to stand up. They were even standing out on the sidewalk. Before, after and between, even in the afternoon- Clarence would be selling cassette tapes. We hung on his every phrase, every move. You could see how he was very firm and business-like with his band, too.

[pablovelascobermejo]

alguien tiene las tablaturas de esta cancion?

[Harpsucker]

???

[pablovelascobermejo]

[braundiealte]

okay okay okay okaymokay

[ShankarG]

[fredpg]

One of the very greats!! Incredible timing!

[AngelParada]

This man is the top.Thanks

[Blackstarguitar]

Brilliant!_!c favs.

[bluesduprat]

Great!

The best version of this song in on the Rounder CD

" ALL RIGHT AGAIN"

[RonInElPaso]

I was listening to Texas Swing earlier. The one he did with Guy Clark sounds so raw. Walk in record and walk out. Having a great time in between.

[Hornilope]

the reason people dont remember him being this good is because he changed his style in weird directions as he got older, you should all get the album "original peacock recordings", its even better then this

[Poepla]

Christ! This is unbelievable.

[jhodges72]

Son of a bitch, I didn't remember him being this good. I should have payed attention more to him growing up. This is some of the best groove I've heard. And that tone he got from using his fingers. Man!!!!

[bandbrat79]

One of a kind1!!! Check out his myspace!!!

[sodafixer]

gatemouth was so great....thanks for the video

[Saxswinger]

Some good old school blues. Thanks.

[haleyfan]

Hey, he's a great guitarist and singer, one of the greatest musicians to come out of Texas. He will be missed.

[Borny]
