Bob Brozman on french TV

[osusannarosen]

What is the name of the song he sings at the beginning?

[vleb]

@osusannarosen I lost my girl from Memphis, original by Andy Kirk . You can find the original song on YouTube !

[Guitarstring187]

hes an anthropoly major we learned about the 15 edits per min. it boggles the mind

[dawnofminstrel]

I hope to see him in France in a couple of months.

[Jujulos77]

@dawnofminstrel

à Toulouse en novembre !

[darkg35]

imagine him on coke

[NorCalProf]

Thank you so much for posting this.

I saw Bob several times at a 30 seat venue called The Darkroom in San Luis Obispo, CA in the late 1970's and he did these same numbers to the tee, just blowing away the small group of devotees and a few shocked drop-ins. He's a musical and intellectual virtuoso that more people need to see and hear.

[Max0Inq]

One man band.

I share his thought on the 30'.

[lyndvs]

Rubbish.

[starship86A]

Jerk

[cams6673]

just tops

[colemontelongo]

im inspired to play resonator

[boogertoots]

I'm ashamed now to play a resonator.

[ipodjunkie5]

This guy is crazy! In a good way haha

[SRVRULES893]

does anybody know what concert the 'my girl from memphis' and 'down the road' clips come from? and if so is it available in video or dvd anywhere? seems like he sure was on fire that night

[vleb]

It was recorded in Paris at Café de la Danse. I was there, I was an incredible show. There is a DVD of a show taped in Berkeley which was recorded, IMHO about the same time.

[puppyuncle]

i think it was 1992 or 93, i remeber seeing it on TV, Arte network.

[broadheadg]

this guy is crazy

[boogertoots]

LOL! Hopefully you meant in a good way!!

;-)

[russ32151]

If you think he's playing too fast, you're listening too slow!

[PelleSansIos]

"play as many notes per second as possible" contest?

Goes nuts at 01:22............

I´m sorry but when I see this, I imagine it as if it was animated. It would fit perfect in Simpsons. "Crusty the Clown presents - guitarplayer on speed."

I´m afraid-but he´s overdoin everything

[puppyuncle]

He plays actually a lot less notes than millins of rock shred dudes....

[fanqmon]

thanks for sharing

[SHAMMINA]

sono stato a vederlo al velvet ieri sera semplicemente un genio!

[theholytaco]

What is that lap steel tune that he is playing?

[SRVRULES893]

Not Sure what its actually called but in the Bob Brozman In Concert DVD, he does another incredible version and calls it Hawaiian Medley, check it out

[funstuff2006]

First one is called 'huehue,' and the last one is definitely 'Ta-Hu-Wa-Hu-Wai' a.k.a. Hawaiian War Chant. There other song (songs?) in the middle aren't remotely familiar to me, so I don't even have any hints to desperately google with.

[stefanocode]

fantastico.... la persona più musicale che abbia mai visto..

[SiMoFkr]

Bob is the man!

[KarloR27]

Resonator guitars would be louder than the electric if the electric wasn't amplified.

[lyon0100]

hot damn, this guy flies

[646879]

this guy is a national treasure....

[SRVRULES893]

whats the first song he plays? it's incredible

[puppyuncle]

I lost My Gal from Memphis, a 20's jazz tune.

[piepou]

<3<3<3

[resoblues]

Nobody plays a Resonator like Brozman. Nobody. If these songs dont put a smile on your face then I dont know what to say.

[andrepazzo]

l'album blues reflex è un capolavoro!bob sei unico!!!

[KlausDieSchrecken]

What kind of music was he playing in his second song? The one with a vaguely carribean accent.

[puppyuncle]

It is calypso music, an early version, 1992, you can hear other better versions, search for Down The Road

[loomis4747]

how do you say souffle in french?

[quundar]

Groucho Marx + guitar virtuoso

[atwa2]

Pourquoi on a plus des reportages aussi intéressants aujourd'hui :'(

[trognaz]

è un posseduto pazzoide!!!

[puppyuncle]

This looks like spam, or advertising, but it does not count as a comment...

[stuntlog]

bob is my new god

[phjost]

I think his sense of sound and rhythm is completely unique for western musicians. All electric guitar wizards are nothing against him.

[thekev506]

because most guitarists play with very little feeling, and bob is a fantastically emotional musician; every song is a story. Like he says on another video 'you play really well, but what does it mean?'

[Moforofosofo]

he makes a joke out of music

[puppyuncle]

Ah, but he also makes music out of jokes!

[jonnyjamesblues]

LOL ...

Bob is the fucking man ... rips it anytime any day

[kylepeacock]

I really like his style of playing, he's quite a cool guy too.

[MrWallas]

Does anyone know the name of the song they play at the beginning of this.

[puppyuncle]

"I Lost My Gal from Memphis"

[MrWallas]

Thanks, thats what I was thinking, cause he says it like 4 times

[TeamCannabis]

This man is incredable, thks for the posts.

[puppyuncle]

this was filmed in 92 or 93, originally shown on arte, the French-German network. It's hard to believe it is nearly 15 years old! anyone out there have the german footage with David Lindley, Henry Kaiser, FReddy Roulette? It was on german TV...

[akto666]

very good, great ...

[puppyuncle]

go to his website, lots of titles there! his way of doing things is different...

[SRVRULES893]

i'm new to brozman and his work , but he is already begining to blow my mind, just watching him play is amazing, could any of you recomend any thing i should listen to album wise,to experience more brozman

[russ32151]

[xsamitt]

After seeing this guy I fell like I am at the beginning of playing all over again.

[OTISCHIEF]
