I seen butterfield twice in 70 'I seen bb at the same place. I saw Stevie seven times And Albert once.I have had fun itell you .Jimmie is great and Kieth Ferguson and Kim Wilson. That is some Blues.
@richone99 he dropped out after like a month...if hes good enough for B.B., Clapton, and Buddy Guy, i don't think you have the right to insult the man's playing. even if personality wise hes a tool.
@richone99 John Mayer might be a copy of some of the most skilled guitarist ever. But SRV is gone, Albert king is gone, Hendrix is gone, Gary Moore is gone. We almost only have B.B left. If the blues is going to survive, we need guys like John Mayer..
@modjiasOnce hearing the great African American bluesmen of the past, I just don't need him, his style and voice is so affected, a rich man's poor imitation of something he can never be (a black man). Why drink pop when there still is some champagne left?
@richone99 actully he never graduated from berkeley, and if you didnt already know he most profound influence was stevie ray vaughan... and even jimi vaughan stevie's brother siad that john mayer is the best blue's guitarist today
@judoman5899 My mistake, never graduated. J. Vaughn is another of the same white blues imitator type. He would praise one of his own. Again, not that i don't like imitators, impersonators, and good counterfeiters, they have a place in life, just not the real one.
Long Live blues and rock and roll, the only music that you can play from the soul. RIP SRV, Albert King, and Paul Butterfield. 3/4 gone such a shame. I guess almost all hope is lost for a 15 year old these days.
It's true that B.B. King probably couldn't fit into most bathtubs, that SRV looked like a homeless man at the time, and that Albert King resembles a fish, however I have never heard any sounds that were more beautiful then these three put together...
seeing them all up there at 4:50 is remarkable.. hard to believe b.b. is now the last man standing.. i especially miss butterfield.. in 65 his 'east-west' was unlike any blues album before it, and more than any other early band (including the animals or stones or the who) set the table for hard rock and heavy metal that would follow respectively during the next four years.. thanks for posting. historic clip.
I saw B.B. King live last summer! I find it funny (not in a good way- it's very very sad) that I saw the oldest man on this stage, rather than Stevie- RIP! I would give a limb to have SRV back
@Michael81818 He's clean and sober here. First, this concert occurred in '87, and second, the coin rings he wears on each hand are a dead giveaway. Not sure why he looks drunk to you (?).
The video and music is Awesome. RIP SRV, Paul Butterfield, and the Velvet Bulldozer, Mr Albert King. We were lucky to have lived in a time when these fine Musicians were around to share their talents with us. I know I am thankful for that. Hang in there, B.B., you have been loved for years and are one of last of a long line of great Blues men. Peace :-)
Sure, there was a time when talent was more important than looks. I am glad that finally ended. Thank Gawd we have been stuck in a time that just won't end, where Ignorance, Intolerance, Hatred, are ALIVE and well, and so many people suffering from the dreaded diseases of "Cranial Rectosis", "TheSelfEntitledBlues" as well as a hard to cure form of "FuckingDumbass" They say there is no cure for any of it. Sad.
I was a big acoustic pop fan, e.g. Jack Johnson, John mayer etc... But in 1 week thats all changed thanks to watching these guys, all i want now is the bluuuuees, its all I play these days...incredible.
Ever notice the amount of respect blues legends have for one another?
Not an inch of jealousy, pride, or resentment towards any other player, just the blues!
And if you follow their history you realize how connected they are to one another, they all learned from each other and taught a new generation of players, who grow up and give props to the ones who influenced them, tour with them, play with them and become close friends with them!
man this was a time when artist didnt really play for money, they just played for the sake of playing. They loved to play and share with the world their music talents. Not like people today haha.
i'm surprised my head didn't just explode from the sheer talent these four guys display on the SAME stage at the SAME time! talkin bout the greatest of all time!!
@ElizabethGS I AM A HARMONICA PLAYER AND HAVE PLAYED FOR 40 YEARS, AND I WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING TO HAVE JAMMED WITH STEVIE AND BB KING, I SING THIS SONG WITH MY BAND, AND PUT IN AWESOME HARMONICA SOLO WHERE STEVIE DOES HIS WITH GUITAR, GIVES ME AN ADRENALIN RUSH LIKE NOTHING ELSE CAN
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
roadappleband and dearrmoundblues must be deaf or blind,Butterfield didn't deserve to be there playing off time and notes that didn't belong, man,get real ! that guy just used the blues to make money and he ended up a junkie, truth can be brutal sometimes but it is like that.He is not consider a great because HE was NOT! point.There are some other white harmonica players that played 100 times better than butterbean; Portnoy, Lee Oskar even my nephew plays better than that.
I love the sky is crying, these guys are stunning but not on the same stage at the same time sadly, It should have been a stunning track but sadly let down, I think stevie and albert are playing to far to much! I know thats not going to sit to well with some! but hay its there to hear.....
these 4 artists, playing this song together, simply epitomize the raw unmitigated passion and feeling of the blues. they hold nothing back and put every fuckin thing they have on the table. its simply amazing to listen to; especially in the times we live in i truly believe that music with this much passion is really the only hope for humanity. we as a species have to strive to find this passion, because we all have it, and when its released, its an unstoppable force.
@jw22345 I agree with you completely. I am only 14 but I have an undying passion for the blues. Modern Rock and the Metal and stuff doesn't come close to standing up against the Blues. Blues will come back and when it does the world will be a much better place. There won't be so much hate and anger. And god bless Albert King and SRV. Two of the greatest men to walk the earth.
@jw22345 Nice point, very dramatic. Except, today's music industry no longer allows the music go in that direction anymore. It simply does serve there direction.. If Yuo are a Christian in the music bizz your screwed..
I loved Paul Butterfield, but if you look at him you can tell how horribly he aged by abusing himself with drugs and alcohol, which contributed to his death at only 44 years old. So sad.
I wish I had the pleasure to see more of these guys live. The only one I've seen is BB! Still playing at like 84! Man, that's just great!! I seen him in his 70's though.
Look on google under Rick Danko and Paul Butterfield at Boulder...Paul is working the switch on the 545 through out the gig. Love the Shure 545 for that reason, crank up the amp and blow!!!
this video truely defines epic. honestly you add 3 of some of the best blues monsters in history add a mean blues harmonica in there a band with trumpets i mean really this is fucking EPIC
Just out of curiosity, how many Hendrix cd's do you own? Maybe you only have heard(or only like) the commercial stuff wich has marketed to death, if you really want to know how Jimi felt, listen to all of his music, especially the music he did after he became somewhat financially independent, THEN you'll see that he was at heart and at all lights, a BLUES player, even HE himself repeatedly expressed his disgust for playing and recording certain things only because that's what audiences expected
This is before SRV got clean, It's good, but probably would have been amazing had he been clean, just because than he would have actually paid attention to everyone else
Albert doesn't leave much place for the others here. This is a prime example of how not to share a stage with others. Having to fight to get through or having to give up is not cool.
But this is amazing. What i would do to go back and see that live!!

Say what ? Jimi was a blues monster.

Just out of curiosity, how many Hendrix cd's do you own? Maybe you only have heard(or only like) the commercial stuff wich has marketed to death, if you really want to know how Jimi felt, listen to all of his music, especially the music he did after he became somewhat financially independent, THEN you'll see that he was at heart and at all lights, a BLUES player, even HE himself repeatedly expressed his disgust for playing and recording certain things only because that's what audiences expected

well he doesn't seem to be playing like he's clean, he looks out of it to me, maybe it's just that their styles didn't blend well

God, I have an admiration for anyone who can pick like that with their fingers. Reminds me a bit of Son House's swagger.

This is before SRV got clean, It's good, but probably would have been amazing had he been clean, just because than he would have actually paid attention to everyone else

Albert doesn't leave much place for the others here. This is a prime example of how not to share a stage with others. Having to fight to get through or having to give up is not cool.
