[7jack7]

It's a fuckin' CRIME fer a man to be that good lookin'

It just makes all that more hard fer the rest of us plain looking blokes

[Xaffax]

Talking about laying down an intense bass line!

Anybody ever touching a bass guitar should take note of Donald Duck Dunn.

[BixenteFabregas]

Booker T Jones' riff was shamelessly abused in the chart-hit "That kind of Girl" by Maxipriest...

Sigh...

[TheAdomus]

you just can't get better than this for sending a blues shiver down your back. the most well known blues song ever. bloody fantastic!

[oc714cal]

love this song - first time I heard it was when I was young watching Big Wednesday.

[LennonRickenbacher1]

THE best blues band if all time!

[holybear]

How I love Al & Booker's freak-out rite before the 3 min mark!

[KOOLEO329]

One of the greatest instrumentals of all time. It influenced so many other bands. The KOOOOOLest.

[MB300TE]

@KOOLEO329 Just check out The Liverpool Five tune " She's Mine" on You Tube. A definate influence from BT and the MG's

[MB300TE]

@MB300TE I really meant "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone" by the Liverpool Five as being heavily influenced by this fab tune

[WhiteDwarf18]

the end of the sixties was full of eletric blues..I wish had 20 years..to play in that great years...

[cockardo]

man, I wish I could play organ half as good as Jones

[topmangaz]

Where's the black kids in the audience?

Gazza The Soulboy!

[t40onbass]

@topmangaz They were in the USA listening to their then current hit "Hip-Hug-Her".

This clip was filmed in Norway during a European tour in the spring of 1967. By then "Green Onions" was closing in on being 5 years old.

[aleester]

Al Jackson is the tightest drummer ever.

[BigMe1982]
