Luv this place...fond memories! No other place quite like it!

[ruudschulten]

Real stuff ..

[35150Alabama]

These guys were totally into this music. You could see it in the eyes of the girls in the audience. They knew they didn't stand a chance as long as the guys were jammin.

[freetibetsquellen]

Name of the song?

[BeccaKeeler]

Theresa's was on the South Side, 47th and Indiana. See Steve Tomashefsky's great liner notes for the Delmark Live at Theresa's album for the most accurate description in print.

[MrDidjcripey]

There have been lots of great bluesmen, but JW stands out as not only great, but very original, he sounds like nobody else.

[GOLDBAND45]

Chicago was an interesting place for French enthusiasts during 70's.Marcelle and Luc Nicolas Morgantini visited blues clubs Ma Bea's,Big Duke's and Golden Slipper and later issued some excellent Live LP's in a series called 'Chicago Blues Nights....Direct from Chicago'

[e541210]

wow...in english ...no french dub...great

[1raymio]

One class act, thank you.

[noyna9]

Effortless.The real sign of a natural bluesman.

[Rizantar]

Buddy Guy shreds. x)

[zwierzok]

oh, those were THE TIMES:)

[e541210]

is this video available? in english?

[knobstick]

In the land of people with one hat the man with two hats will be king.

Great players, Junior had a lovely, choked tone to his harp.

[Wally773MTG]

Yea, its very glottal and percussive...reminds me of a hen clucking (in a badass way). Such a unique and cool sound, he's my idol. Between his harmonica, voice, and Buddy's guitar, its like emotional overload...those dudes had SOUL!

[arjhendrix]

Buddy Guy and Phil Guy together??

thats great!

[arabesk999]

Wonderful, thanks for uploading.

[DannyTsun]

Ahh... I am brimming with joy - escape from the ghetto alright. great 1st position harp playing !

[bwrblues]

I've heard it described that Mr. Blakemore (Junior Wells) played Theresa's as his own personal instrument. This video leaves no doubt. Simply, the best.

[FLPatrick]

.....who is going to fill those shoes . . .?

[catkittycatkittycat]

@FLPatrick nobody...thank god for tracks and video's like these though

[johntrik]

M A S T E R P I E C E!!!!

[FaustyFob]

[HUSEYiNADANA88]

[Leondale]

B.B. got some.....once I had a woman by Jimi starts off with a slow blues.....

[1philpot]

Who is going to fill these shoes?

[Leondale]

[harmonicatman]

[axavild]

best!

[GJVPJB458]

teresas- buddy and junior -it gets no better-

[maggiebkny]

I sat at that middle table more than a few times in the late seventies. It was a dollar cover and a dollar for a budweiser and the best night out when you were really tired after working all week. But the smoke in the air was so thick I could barely keep my eyes open.

Thanks for posting. Just what I was looking for.

[Kfw1206]

Teresa's was a great joint, wasn't it? Wish I had a photo from outside the club. I remember one night when the guitar player headliner whose name escapes me complained about "a boil on my ass" and Junior, apologizing for Teresa's insistence that we pay a second cover charge for the second set, paid it himself.

[noyna9]

It gets no cooler than this.Junior could just as easily have been a tamla motown star.

[mickdee06]

what i would do or give to have been there

[deepintoblues]

1. That hat just screams the blues! 2. "sweet, soft and funky" just like i like my women... I could go on aaallll night ...but seriously folks, this music right here is DEEP.

[Fredmyyster]

This the $hit ! ! !

[woodsheddin]

R.I.P. Phil Guy
