@njn1219 The Late Great Hiram Bullock. 

[anneshuck]

Get down Taj.

[TheAndroid219]

I know this is the original but I like the Blues Brothers version better

[beachidiot]

@TheAndroid219 Actually the original was done by the song's composer. A blues mandolin player by the name of Yank Rachel.

I had the album with this song on it...on vinyl 40 years ago!!! almost...WOW...still love it. Mahal is so hot.

[noeljdun12]

@withgoddess I still have mine.

[withgoddess]

@noeljdun12 Congrats!!!! Wish I still had mine. I moved too many times and things went missing or got broken...sigh. Thanks for the reply. Nice to hear from someone who values real music!!! 

[noeljdun12]

@withgoddess I have moved many times as well. I don't know how it is I have hung on to so many of them. There is a black hole where things go when you move!

Word Up!



[anonymoose711]

Very cool! Thanks for the post. Made my day :-)

[seatech1]

Who is the host that introduces them, and what show was this? Please reply if you have good info on this video. It's freaking awesome.

[TheSurlyTemples]

@seatech1 The host would be saxophonist David Sanborn. The show was called Night Music and it had some of the best American A-list musicians including Hiram Bullock, Omar Hakim, Don Alias, plus a ton of high profile, as well as, under exposed musical guests.

[NorthofRadio]

Hiram Bullock. Brilliant.

[massimoselvi]

BTW .... Omar, Hiram, Don!!!

[AngeLsLuv]

That is a first line Gibson Melody Maker that I gave Todd back in the summer of 1987 (Todd in '88 tour).. Was collecting dust and I didn't play so I gave it to him.. He then told me that it was a first line because the number was so low..

[gkoma1]

This is wicked jam fffffffffuuuukkk, it sucks it got cut off on the solo, I wish I could see it all.. Does anyone know where I could watch this video in it's entirety!!!

[gr8tbigtreehugger]

Taj is the best!! Thought for a moment that Metheny might actually play the blues with Taj but no luck but Rundgren kicked it out/

[KieraCloud]

SOUL.

[kimmelr]

This was the hippest show ever on television.

[EFISHANT]

Holy tight pants - Pat Matheny! Geeeeezzzzzzz ?

[mrtonebone]

@EFISHANT They must have shrunk when he stuck that fork into the electrical socket...nice hairdo Pat!!!

[mccallbrandon]

I love me some Taj Mahal but, was he high during that performance; or did he just catch the spirit?

[existenceisrelative]

@mccallbrandon I was under the impression that he WAS the spirit! And people catch him occasionally.

[Calabrio76]

I love to hear Sanborn when he's playing blues, and not smooth jazz.

[maxeb1031]

Another reason I hate television. Cuts out just as TR starts to wail? Booo!

[mykmmc]

too meny guitar players

[drcanehdian]

@mykmmc no such thing as too many guitars !

[mykmmc]

@drcanehdian lol yes thier is more then 1 is too meny lol

[jonthediscobandit]

@mykmmc you can't ever have to MANY guitar players.

[wysiwyg248]

@jonthediscobandit

If your drummer and bass player know what they are doing, then you only need one guitar. Steve Ray Vaughn proved it, and so did Jimmy Hendrix.

[jonthediscobandit]

@wysiwyg248 YOU CAN'T ever have to MANY guitar players.

[wysiwyg248]

@jonthediscobandit LOL

[danstyk]

Love it, but it kills me that they cut right as Todd starts his solo... 8^(

[imharpo]

5*****- Added to my favs- Thanks for this one.
