Watch BookerT and the MGs sing "Green Onions" and then watch them do "Time Is Tight"and then look at this video. Donald Dunn and Steve Cropper are prominent in all three and look athow different they look! Such was the 60s and 70s, The greatest era of Rock/Blues/Soul EVER...
The movie got me into the brothers in 82 when I was 16. Loved ALL their stuff. Was totally bummed when I found out Belushi was dead and I would never get to experience them live.
John and Dan weren't just good performers, they were great performers. Their musicality was legit and they personified so many elements and channeled them through their great comedy chops in such a unique way to create the Blues Brothers. What they did was a routine, but it was one of the rare routines that never gets old and is absolutely timeless.
I wish I saw these guys in concert; but, I was only 7. Blues Brothers is still my favorite movie of all time and the music is just as excellent today as back then!
I think if I was there at that concert, my heart would have been stabbed so many times viciously by the way Elwood stroked that harmonica and Jake hit "hey!". Man, I'd be long gone dead on the floor. You can't get no better than that once music calls for an ambulance.
I just love everything about them, Elwood (Dan), Jake (John), the other band members, Jake's cartwheel, Elwood playing the harp, their music, their style, the movie(s), just everything and I really wish I had lived at this time :( I would do everything for that, really, everything!
I was actually at this concert...they were the opening act for Steve Martins Wild and Crazy Guy tour when he was wearing the whits poly suit and arrow hat .
I was actually at this concert...they were the opening act for Steve Martins Wild and Crazy Guy tour when he was wearing the whits poly suit and arrow hat
elwood is Dan Aykroyd & jake is John Belushi right? & jake & elwood are modeled characters who dan made,is that correct? or there are real jake & elwood?!
no truer words have been spoken "most of the music we listen to is computer generated so we dont get to appreciate real music" i salute you Elwood GO BLUES BROTHERS!!!!!!!!iiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!iiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the Blues Brothers helped me get through the 1980's doing 80 hour work weeks at an aerospace company without losing my mind. Just me and my "Walkman". Hah! Bow Bow Bow Bow.........
I listen to The Blues Brothers, and I just find that nothing compares to it. The Blues Brothers just had this sound. Unique, and real. All the music you hear now has been overdubbed, remastered, autotuned and edited way too many times. It just ruins the sound. The Blues Brothers, and other classic bluesmen had a real sound. I'm glad that when Dan Akroyd said "By the year 2006, Blues will exist only in the classic records department of your public library" turned out to be a wrong guess!
i'm 13 and i really like to listen to this kind of music. all of the new kind of ''music'' i crap. not even worth the name 'music' but i never liked that stuff. i only like or really old stuf (rock, blues, and so on) or new stuff but undiscovered, not mainstream and then i mean rock. sometimes even jazz, mostly because i drum and jazz is very difficult :P
It beautiful jazz! Have you ever heard of jazz house compositions Valerio Minicillo? The First, Crazy Funky, wow! There is a wonderful video, which is LA MAGIA DEL SAX !
God takes all good musicians too soon: John Lennon, John Belushi, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and so on, and so forth... legends tend to die fast :(
@kevincarpet I had this on the definitive collection c.d. when I was growing up. Begged my best friends dad to let me make a cassette copy of it. I love this band.
@starlored i'm now 35 too and my brother listened to the BB every evening when I was twelve, I know all words and all tunes out of my head, really great tunes!!
This is one of THE classic performances of all time !
See the coolest brothers ever enter Universal Amphitheatre, Elwood handcuffed to his bag, Jake swirling the key, opening the handcuffs, Elwood taking out his harmonica and them performing HAY BARTENDER.
Man this was a great show, I have the bootleg VHS and the tribute bands today all have great energy, but NOBODY can touch this.. ( and this coming from someone in a tribute...)
I believe he was the selected keyobard player for the movie, but CBS didn't allow him to play the role. In any case, I really like his replacement too, maybe not so skilled on the keyboard, but great acting. LOL
I was working at this concert as security//I worked there for 3 years saw cool groups..What I loved was seeing these guys rehearse in the afternoon..Always Loved these guys ..Great Blues guys.
their influence still continues to this day. growing up without John Belushi is not cool at all, but I'm glad that he had the opportunity to take something as great as blues music and comedy and liven the music in the young people of this generation. Not all of us listen to rap and hip hop or even rock. I first saw the blues brothers when i was 16 years old when i first picked up my harmonica. life hasn't been the same since then, and thats in a good way.
