  • 18 people just can not seem to work together :(

  • @12wsatye yeah sur ...

  • @pedrohgromero1 Thumb up for this Song ,and YOU

  • 18 people have push wrong touch ^^ come on ..

  • These guys could really play a modern version of the blues,they were simply bloody fantastic!

  • @pedrohgromero1 amen brother

  • ...great...:)

  • Hagrid sure can sing...

  • @pedrohgromero1 this is bullshit you're talking about. the mass music was and always will be crap, be it beach boys or lady gaga, doesn't matter. it's simply because most people are idiots anyway. But there's also good music all the time - how's Little Barrie today worse than Canned Heat? your comparisons are stupid

  • @pedrohgromero1 the 95% like shitty music cuzz thats all they play now. i'm parta that 5% and i choose this music cuzz its real, and not some dubbed shit from a computer. i'd rather listen to static then some bullshit commercialized, ear raping fag tunes.

  • WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WOODSTOCK VERSION?!?!

  • Recent fads in so called ' Popular Music' will, quite rightly be cast into the Dust-bin and forgotten but quality like this will still, being played in a hundred years..........and long may it last......Real Music!!!!...........Rock on Brother.

  • @pedrohgromero1 Shit, I'm a minority :l :D

  • Canned Heat along with the Doors, Love, and many others were in the Sunset Strip scene in 1966 and 1967. They were not the icons they are today. They were unknown and struggling for the most part. Their music has transcended generations because the musicians put the music first not the money and percs. Bob Hite was considered the front man at the shows. Al Wilson had a severe sight impairment and considered legally blind. They mocked themselves on tv if they weren't playing live. Hope this helps

  • @pedrohgromero1 Not necessarily true....I think you've got your percentages off a little....there's a lot of kids in this generation who realize most of their music sucks....and they're really into Classic Rock. I get to hear them all the time at local "battle of the bands". It's the promoters and the media that really suck....but, don't get me started ! lol Did you get to see Taylor Swift "perform" with Stevie Nicks at the Grammys ? My God....Swift was so awful....destroyed (Rhiannon) !

  • guitar player is a ''sleepy Fez".

  • thanks for the memories...

  • what the fuck don't get no better

  • Love it!!!!

  • @pedrohgromero1 Listen, all music is good. Whether you like it or not, it's still good. People have different tastes and people who listen to just one kind of music are pricks. Most musicians listen to a range of music. Listen to a range to find out what other music you like. I know one of Jimi Hendrix's favourite music genres was classical. Remember, we all have different tastes. Don't just like one kind of music.

  • @teasdalea1 So if Idi Amin tortured tone-deaf child prisoners with a red-hot poker to get them to scream the words to "Agadoo" by Black Lace whilst he played the melody by dragging his fingernails down a blackboard, you would say "That's music, and all music is good." Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony; Billie Holiday singing All of Me; Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles; Idi Amin and the Itty-Bitties screaming Agadoo in pain. According to you, there is no odd man out. You are incorrect.

  • @geioje I attended Amin's "Concert for Humanity" and it was bloody fabulous!

  • Excellent!

  • TENGO UN AMIGO IDENTICO A ESTE MAN JAJAJAJA

  • @xXREC68Xx so did the Beatles :)

  • Esse gordo parece até o Willian de silva jardim.

  • Thumbs up if you searched for this song because of the Blackberry Tablet commercial on TV...

  • @pedrohgromero1 Your statictics are way fucking off. I'd say around 60% of teenage females listen to pop ALL the time and 40% sometimes listen to it or don't listen to it at all. Around 15% of teenage males listen to pop all the time and 85% don't listen to it at all or sometimes listen.

  • @pratttan Most of the others that don't listen to pop listen to rap or screamer, which is not real music, it's just bad poetry and people who like yelling a lot.

    Long Live Rock N' Roll!!!!

  • Quanto tempo.....li ricordo sfumati, ma che piacere sentirli!

  • que buenos blues q hacian... q viva el rock and roll & blues

  • Right on pedrohgromero1. Today's stuff is boriiiiinnng ... By the way, great taste in music, my man. The spirit of rock and roll will live on - it's just too good to lose.

  • I got to interview Fito De La Parra and Henry Vestine in Singapore in 1990. Canned Heat was doing a three week residency in Singapore. It was emotional moments talking about the Bear and Blind Owl with Fito.

  • I love these guys. They kicked ass sooo FN Bad. Too bad they burned out fast.

  • @pedrohgromero1

    Hahahahahahahahaha AC/DC and Guns and Roses really suck dude

  • @DeStoepRand good for you

  • @pedrohgromero1 Who are you to say what real music is? Man, why do you have to be so self-righteous?

  • @russianfantastico keep it up with Taylor Swift then

  • @russianfantastico Shut up, ruskie. Go listen to your Lady Gaga.

  • @pedrohgromero1 dont you see... you whats wrong with music. copy n paste it hahah what an idiot. btw guns and roses AC/DC are u joking?

  • @pepitojoe F** off if you'll star to talk shit about ac/dc

  • @pedrohgromero1 ACDC maybe the worst band in rock music since foo fighters

  • Rewrite of Wilbert Harrison's Let Stick Together?

  • That is freedom, not what stupid politicians told us. Freedom is to wake up with your choice of clothes, with long hair and beard,playing your favorite music. America is becoming an stupid puppet if we keep on listening to Sarah palin and all those stupid hypocrits who run Washington.

  • They were my first concert with the unknown REO Speedwagon. Paid $5.00 for a ticket. That was before the leeching Ticketmaster came around.

    This is real music, not the crap they put out today.

  • @picnut56 Omg, that's cheap. Did you see that southpark episode where Stan turns 10?

  • Really makes sense given how torn apart our country is today !!!

  • ZZ Top came outa these guys.

  • @Countrychiddler: Actually ZZ Top came out of Bo Diddley.

  • MAGIQUE canned heat unique et irremplaçable groupe sixties ?VERY GOODDDDDD !!!!

  • dornstadt woostock open air 2011 germany

  • Awesome video!!

  • It still rocks......after all these years...

  • These boys had it down. Bob Hite really inspires me today. Alan Wilson would have been even more incredible had he lived. I'd hate to be close to someone as talented these guys and seem them die at 27 & 38.

  • i am a sperm and i still like this song

  • Some say it's OK to use drugs, illegal and not, but those with talent and knowledge need to see their duty to the music and to their futures. To party hard and die early is in essence a selfish thing. We're poorer musically for so many early deaths. P.S. I wonder why they didn't use the heavy guitar sound live? Last, drummer "Fito" is the last still with us, I think.

  • fucking mind blowing-this song

  • Fantastic vision & i grew up enjoying these tunes. HOW ABOUT SOME EXTERNAL WEB PLAY?. Shares on facebook back as restricted play re-direct back yo Tube.//LETS WORK TOGETHER //kikkin

  • i will get bored of this song in a week

  • Just the BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • gaga is groovy too.

  • @pedrohgromero1

    rock on :) + I say Pink Floyd:)

  • Awesome

  • MAGIQUE ALAN WILSON LEADER , sublime ce titre ,un des meilleurs groupes sixties , super vintage ,j'adore CANNED HEAT fan 100% !!!

  • I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST BLUS-ROCK BEND AND IM SO SAD THAT THEY ALL DIED :((((

  • @shargarepa12345

    for your information....the drummer is still alive =) But indeed a shame that the rest died!

  • @smitske1990 the snake, the mole, and fito are all still alive

  • @MagicalSix

    What I actually ment is that the drummer is the only original member that still plays in Canned Heat nowadays ;)

  • um, y'all should check out the original version of this song, by Wilbert Harrison, who has a great deal more spirit than these guys. Check it out, all together now!

  • I feel sorry for 13 people.

  • OLDIES NEVER REALLY GET OLD~~THEY JUST GET VINTAGE~~AND REAL!!~(not like some of the crap! thats out there~~this one REALLY SPEAKS TO THE PPL~~!!

  • Reminds me of riding in my old 60 chevy listening to CH ,long hair blowing,sipping on cold one,toking and enjoing life.

  • Self Actualization is Best for WHOLE!

    Yea, it helps (IT) While (IT) is trying to kill what wants to only help the whole..

    Oops Evolution, we have a Problem.

  • See Evil proves that there is much more here than what we see, it attacks Self Actualization..FACT!

    Christ, Gandhi, Kennedy..Oops it attacks it's self! OOPs see see you.

    It Evolved to Attack itself, call it Class conflict call it what you will, it is what it is!

    Yea, this Master Hypnotist can prove Love is real and Christ is the only way!

    Look out world you are changing!

  • work together some awesome music in 2010 ...

  • Mandel is doing fuck all as well. I guess that makes him chronically depressed to all the youtube head shrinks

  • $** (an S word) a big word. might be like money, salvation, dollar sign, wealth (ive truely lost it now.

  • lets stand..because theyve fallen and divided they agree...they never get together they never try to hear...its all a chorus its more like a circus but then they go home. Lets figure out...take their wealth? or make them admit what they dont have and what theyve lost? then youll have to rewrite just how it went down because they will never agree.

  • R.I.P blind owl wilson , he was such a great musician and a fantastic singer too

  • Reminds me on Revolutions "Keep the Faith"

  • Ahora sí empiezo mi jueves bien up!!

  • Good O´l Boogie! This is great, man!

  • this band is funky! WOOHOO!

  • The bassist banghead is the best

  • Jim Morrisons Favourite Band ;)

  • @garygareth

    Morrison´s fav band? Really? Not that I don´t find it likely (actually, bearing in mind jim was from LA too and he had a deep love for the blues, it´s quite logic), but I just never heard about it

  • Just one note. I think the annotation mentioned the song Kansas City. Note, this was written by the famous song writing team Leiber and Stoller, and was recorded by Wilbert Harrison. Wilbert was also a song writer and wrote the song "Let's Work Together" contained in this video. I checked it because the song Kansas City was a blockbuster single recorded many times, including by Fats Domino.

  • RIP Alan, he may have died but his music still lives on

  • What can say it any better ????? :-D

  • Comment removed

  • mega geil !!!

  • amazing

  • NICE! :D

  • Check out the Orange amps........... didn't know they went that far back.

  • Couple of facts are wrong on this - this is 1970 - not 1969. Bryan Ferry didn't change it - he covered Wilbert Harrison's Let's stick together (two different records by Harrison) Brilliant footage though - I only wish they'd JUST show the footage.

  • WOW! from 1:25 to 1:33

    That sounds sooo led Zeppelin, devine!

  • Biker week at CUB !

  • Canned heat for live, baby!

  • that a boy!

  • im a 7 week old unborn fetus and i like this tune too!!!

  • @squealyparsuperstar I'm a sperm, could someone please turn it up!...lol.

  • @squealyparsuperstar Are you single?

  • @squealyparsuperstar

    I guess you were listening to some great music in the fetal position. I've done the same in bed and I have 54 years on you baby new year. lol

  • Back when music actually depended on whether you could crank out amazing songs instead of if you look good shirtless. Canned Heat ROCKS!

  • Good Tune, Good Beat, Good Message.

  • Gracias por tu musica.R.I.P

  • gotta love blind owl and the bear...rest in peace in fried hockey heaven sliding that boogie

  • @mrmrmanlyman im sick of kids saying how old they are. big deal man, if you like this kind of music odds are you were brought up on it. youre not special

  • @thestrtingline48  You miss the point. The Music Lives on as long as the kids like it.

  • @thestrtingline48 I agree that it's stupid that people put their age to prove something, but I was definitely not raised on this music. I had to work it out for myself. But as soon as I heard Brittany Spears, I had no doubt that modern music was a waste of time and also sucks mega bad.

  • Wilbert Harrison was the Man! You named it right that he was the one who wrote this song.

  • lol those camera effects brilliance.

    Great tune. thanks.

  • ALAN WILSON LE LEADER THE BEST

  • I wonder what tuning the slide guitar is in

  • Check out Wilbert Harrisons's version, he wrote the song. Canned Heat made some great music.

  • Superb! Greets from Finland!

  • I listen to that song everyday before going to university and it's cool everytime.

    It will never be boring!

  • AH people, this was the good old days... at that time you didn't had to be Handsome with a waxed chest to become famous... because music was what really matered. Fantastic performance ^^

  • @Ayato3

    I was just commenting to my son, earlier today, that maybe there's hope when the top selling album (per Rolling Stone magazine) is Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed A Dream"!! I know it's only one example but who knows. Maybe "Video Killed The Radio Star" can reverse itself since MTV isn't the center of the music universe anymore. Basically, I'm saying I'm with you!!!

  • I like this group not just because of their great music, but they all seem to be good guys and had fun performing including Alan Wilson. I don't know that much about Henry Vestine though. I liked this lineup of 5 best with Harvey Mandel on lead/rhythm guitar.

  • Greatest era in music history just look 40 years later will take this anyday and all day over the music today

  • Henry Vestine was a very talented guitar player. Trouble was he often butted heads with bassist Larry Taylor. About the only time I saw the 2 of them together was Monterey Pop in 1967. Whenever Henry wasn't with the band, Harvey was. Were strong either way. Biggest loss of all was Blind Owl in 1970, followed by Bob the Bear in 1981. Henry died in 1997. Original members Fito de la Parra, Larry Taylor and Harvey Mandel are still with us.

  • Fito's bio of the band says The Owl *was* lonely and unhappy, making $150,000 a year and living in his van, but how do you expect him to behave in a performance where The Bear is singing and Al's on lead slide? Should he be trying to split his pants like Mick Jagger? He looks totally normal in this video. Get a life.

  • i think Alan Wilson was a gentle person with an almost saintly affinity with nature.Furthermore, he was utterly brilliant -a genius-as a musician and music creator.

    But he was indeed manifestly depressed on stage.I quote the authoritative biography "Blind Owl Blues" by Rebecca Winter at p.168-169: "it`s difficult to describe Wilson onstage so extreme was his introversion".. "he appearred melancholy onstage"Roadie Barry Henson said "Alan onstage "stood stock still-he was just in his own world."

  • HAW!

  • Well has a very short sighted person Alan Wilson cannot be blamed for not moving around and being very introspected, with music eye contact is not a necessity, actually vision is even a disadvantage as less focus can be given to the sounds ^^

  • @1994g0 I've seen the book online but wondered what it was like. Does it give good insight into Alan Wilson?

  • @genericgeorge Fine book.rebecca is so knowledgable on the subject.You`ll like it.

  • right on Unclemoparman, Wilson is in his musical zone here, doing what he does rather well, playing slide on his Les Paul goldtop, he was all about the music.

  • Any footage of Canned Heat with the Blind Owl is pure gold.

  • Again, I invite all to look at Wilson`s behavior on stage in this video.THIS is how Alan acted in the year prior to his death.

    It`s tough to be around a chronically depressed person like this.But the other band members tolerated it because Wilson was so gifted musically.

  • so gifted musically oh yes brother

    let the bells ring

  • Psychobabble bullshit, he looks fine.

  • Excellent!!!

    Grandma mary

  • nice!!!!!!!!!!
