James Blood Ulmer LIVE! @ Radio City Music Hall

[guitarmaan]

I just keep coming back to this video. So haunting.So magical. Just incredible!

[guitarmaan]

Great mojo!

Now that's BLUES!

Joe Bonnamassa fans should hear this, and get a taste of music that's real, not fake.

[bluesx26]

This is just a SUPERB version of this song - wonderful.

I only wish someone would post the full track off the Cd as this clip from the Dvd - which I have - is so short!! Just brilliantly haunting.

Still searching for the Cd here in the UK ....

This song, it makes me want to drink whiskey, but a lot of stuff makes me want to drink whiskey.

[torgo714]

I love this version of this song. It's so simple, so haunting. What a great combination of James Blood Ulmer and Alison Krauss, two excellent musicians. The CD has a longer version. Great DVD also

[Jellirollbatman]

This is my idea of heaven, sublime stuff

[maidoodesu]

nice ! です.

[blueowl642]

It's from the DVD "Lightning In A Bottle"

[Jellirollbatman]

He did a great version of this at the blues hall of fame celebration one year. It's on a DVD somewhere...M

[IncontinentJim]

....and isn't that Alison Krauss in the background playing some 'blues fiddle'? Crazy sh*t! - although not so crazy I suppose when you realise how interlinked bluegrass and blues are. Love this - and love that tuning. Thnks for the tip piptaylor99.

James Blood Ulmer is one of my favorite musicians. He's remaking the Blues for the 21st century and he was doing it in the 1980s! I saw that incredible band with Amin Ali (the great drummer Rasheid Ali's son) and G. Calvin Weston in 1981...I'll never forget it. The tune "Timeless" is one of the most rhythmically fierce peices of music to emerge from the 1980s.

Amazing! Been a Blood Ulmer fan since the 70's, and this is one more piece of sublime music this man creates. Magic. Reaches into one of the many beating hearts of the blues and shows us all. This is a pretty interesting DVD, too. Thanks for posting SliperyTunaFish.

[marcinh13]

i want that guitar.

[piptaylor99]

Just tune yours to AAAAAE low to top. A unison drone tuning that he uses and you will get close.

Good luck and enjoy

[Exemption166]

This turned me on to BO carter, and the Missisppi Sheiks. Check em out they made it first. Listen to the originals! keep blues alive.

[marlonchik]

And where video?

[mastablues]

Top marks! The best of a kind: true blues. Can you hear his 'harmolodic' guitar?

Can you hear the words? Greetings to I.

In 1980 Ry Cooder called james Blood Ulmer, `The best guitarist in America..........

ARE YOU GLAD TO BE AN AMERICAN is an album way way before its time, almost unlistenable at the time, now unfindable.

[BMayhew60]

Actually, it's "ARE YOU GLAD TO BE IN AMERICA". I love it, but personally prefer "Black Rock". I have and treasure both on vynyl. Black Rock has Amin Ali on Bass (Ornette's nephew, I think). It is fantastic! Take care....

[kkman1994]

my last name is Ulmer, i don't think i have an relation.

[ZippyDeth]

Anyone know where I can find a copy of 'Black Rock' on CD without having to pay £100?!!

[2in10s4U]

PM me,I can hook you up w/ a cd-r for free.

[ari1234a]

me too, get me one IMMEDIATELY.

[LodoGrdzak]

No solo? Hmmmm. Thats the first time I've ever heard James sing where I understood what he was saying.

[roadsong2]

'blood' is not god.

god is a much higher power than james ulmer.

'blood' is just an 'interesting' guitar player.

not great,just interesting.

[Screamingdk]

Ain't no god so cut the bullshit and just enjoy the man for what he does.

[qsfinest]

still such a cool motherfucker..

[nycic]

Now this right here is what you'd call a player.

[qwerty9034]

Blood is God!

[akusgal]

I didn't know this existed. Thanks for the upload!

[eatsandsleeps]

This is from a dvd called "Lighting in a Bottle". It's not rare but it's very good.
