[smcmu1len]

Yer blues John, yer blues.

[EvilAnticsLive]

Easily the greatest super band ever assembled. Richards on bass, Lennon on vox/rhythm, Clapton on lead, and Mitchells on drums! FUCKING OUT OF THIS WORLD!

[Sabb99GL]

Their combined talent is over 9000!

[mahavishnuxc]

Does Eric Clapton tear this song apart or what?

[eamond619]

CLAPTON IS GOD!!!

[mahavishnuxc]

@eamond619 now imagine, if Jack Bruce sang the vocals.... my god, he would kill this song. Nothing against John, i love him, but his voice isnt "blues-y" enough.

Genius! Why is it only one song? :(

[fredzeo]

Pure gold!

[MrPenfoldjr]

[LordGeorgeRodney]

Eargasm!

[JayJitzuKru]

I need to go change my pants again

[CanogaParker]

Look at the size of the Leslie cabinet that Clapton is sitting on!!!!

[tremold2043]

funny how they were makin fun at the blues guys with this & it turned out to be a great blues song.

[meucury8eye]

God imagine if they made a full album together. Pure genius !

[mahavishnuxc]

@meucury8eye we're not and never will be, ready for that kind of album.

[mrbloodytit]

This is like the most emo song I've ever heard.

[alwayswinit4real]

@mrbloodytit No, this is called "The Blues". Emo is the worst genre of music (I use that term lightly) ever devised.

[eliterinoa]

Gods were playing blues together !

[fuzzface100]

If you ever wanted the definition of a supergroup - this is surely it. Wish they'd done more together.

[hammer44head]

Hell yes!

[WhoIsPine]

i remember seeing footage of this performance here on youtube years ago. if someone can get the video please post it, im pretty sick of this copyrights bullshit.

[Intheflesh44]

@WhoIsPine they have it on google videos

[TheWtrick]

do they have anymore music??

[ihvamullet]

wish they recorded more, so much energy to this...

[Marjosz]

1 person wants beatles back

[SofieneRock]

aie aie aie.. AIEEEEEEEEEEEE PUTAIN CEST BON!

[Rayelroy]

And to say "he's just a poet" is to say people like T.S. Eliot and Shakespeare had nothing good to say about anything, and that they weren't artists. I think you'll find that to not be the case.

[Rayelroy]

Think about what you are saying. In your theory, the "greatest" musicians could enthrall an audience playing a dissonant chord without rhythm for 40 minutes. What you misunderstand about music is that it contains melody and structure. Jazz is the perfect example of this. Half of the emotion evoked in music comes out of the way the melody and chords interact. And in this respect, John and Paul were geniuses, and deserve every ounce of credit they get. Music is WRITING music, I hate to say.

[cowhyde72]

There are musicians who are masters of both technicality and emotion, (Jeff Beck, John Bonham, etc) and those people are the greatest musicians. Words shouldn't have anything to do with it. You could have a band cover the ABC song and make it sound good. Music is sound, am I right? The best musicians could sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and evoke emotion from an audience. John was a great writer, but that certainly doesn't make him a musician. He should've just written books. What a jerk.

[nvb2005]

@cowhyde72

umad

[tomtom255]

@cowhyde72 Obvious Troll is Obvious-John Lennon was a terrible musician hahahahah that must be why when you go to a real school to learn about music like Berkeley they talk about Beethoven, Bach and Lennon/ Maccartney.

[gietek]

@cowhyde72 what a load of rubbish

[cowhyde72]

It was getting old hearing him say "The Rolling Stones were copying The Beatles, we came first, we're better" crap. Not only was he famous, but he was a huge douchebag, with an ego the size of texas. And his guitar playing and singing could not suffice to it. There are two kinds of musicians. The technical, and the emotional. There are musicians who put so much emotion into their work that it doesn't matter how technical they are, although Lennon doesn't fit into that. He's a poet. Nothing more.

[cowhyde72]

Let me put this out here. I know this will start a fight, but I really don't care about people's opinions anyways, so here goes.

John Lennon is one of the most horrid "guitarists" I've ever heard. His powerchords can barely hold up with Clapton in this. He is a horrible musician. I think you all down below are mixing up a musician with a poet. He was a wonderful writer, but his shrill (flat) singing, "guitar playing", and girlfriend were beyond awful. He would talk shit about other musicians too

[Rambo4699]

This is the best supergroup ever! I'm like raping the play button because this is a GODLY recording!!!

[drooba]

lennon and his troupe of stupids moneys :)

[fanzappa]

@drooba english is not your first language, i'm guessing.

[drooba]

shit shit shit, lennon should never quit the beatles, asshole.

[SgtPeppersification]

the beatles version is better

[ThePrinceDhani]

Better than the beatles. 

[bogarnath]

Nice to hear what the 3 of them sound like with Mitch Mitchell!

[1962jet]

Hello Vortigern99... of course i had to revisit, since you are so well written, and John Lennon's vocals are great but the warped record blues guitar here does not me take me there.

[Vortigern99]

@1962jet Oh, well, to each his own and all that. Some people don't like fried chicken, either! Can you imagine such a thing? ;-)

[louisferrant]

Bieber dislikes it. What a jerk !

[1962jet]

pretty turgid, funny that John Lennon falls prey to his own criticism on the brit blues scene, courtesy of ec... good god, this is a snooze-a-palooza

[Vortigern99]

@1962jet Taste is funny that way. 53, 712 views and only one dislike, evidently yours! And yet you are totally convinced your opinion is the correct, or at least the most tasteful one. Well. Allow me to be the first to disagree. This performance is electrifying.

[Movy132]

0 dislikes! there is still hope!

[MrMagneticfields]

man where the fucks the video????????

[Lmximo]

CLAPTON IS GOD!

[toomermcshockey]

excellent song, 3 of these guys were on heroin lol, the other song they did however ("Whole Lotta Yoko") is terrible thanks to Yoko's screeching, goddamn she's terrible

[jlennon2010]

not a vid... but atleast it ain't a p.o.s### crap video... I thought M.Jackson had ruined all he could...guess i was wrong.

why won't people pick on "Slim Pickin's" or " James Brown" anymore???

at least "J.Brown" had a continuous rythym in his "court" to go against/with...

shit!!!!!!!! Pick-up a friggin' book!!!!!!!!!!!!

stop makin' your s))t over "rythm&blues" music....pls

[BGmaRKO19]

the best group on the history

[hippiepsycopathz]

where is the live video version dammit and yes keith is on bass. the live show has lennon and jagger sharing aplate of food and yoko kneelingin front of keith R. But my favorite is lennons rythem playing on a ROCK song old days late 50's influence! Any fan of any of these players should get to watch this!

[hujaqaa]

is keith on bass?

[ProjectFlashlight612]

Without being rude to the Fabs, the fact that this version is better than the Beatles one is due to the guitarists. None of them Beatles could be described as master musicians....it's the songWRITING that made them world leaders, not the playing.

[ACX352395]

@ProjectFlashlight612

But the Beatles are still great musicians right :(

[tomtom255]

@ProjectFlashlight612 You do realize you just said that none of The Beatles were master musicians? What makes a good musician? All of the Beatles were exceptional musicians in every respect of what could be described as a musician.

[ProjectFlashlight612]

@tomtom255 Everyone calm down. I was simply pointing out that they are legends because of their song writing genius, and rightly so, and NOT for being master musicians. Yes, Harrison was a fine guitarist, and all four Fabs could play well...but not BRILLIANTLY well, like Clapton or Townshend or Hendrix. Listen to the Get Back Tapes, and try to tell me that those endless hours of often horrible jam sessions don't back up my point. They couldn't even JAM properly by 1969, so rusty were they.

[tomtom255]

@ProjectFlashlight612 Ok, I think you completely missed what I was talking about. You are clearly talking about playing instruments or being a flashy guitar player, which is about 1/10th of what being a musician is about. Just because you can bang out a fancy solo does not make you a good musician. There really is almost no point in saying this guitar player is better than this one because it's virtually impossible to quantify what makes one guitarist the best.

[ProjectFlashlight612]

@tomtom255 I think we agree more than you think! There are technically proficient guitarists and drummers and so on, with their respective well-known figures (eg Slash, Ginger Baker, Stuart Copeland, Clapton etc) and then there are those musicians who are known for their WRITING genius. G, J and P all fall into the latter slot. I think the main problem is that they could never hear themselves live, so never got to be a top gig act. The Japan '66 gigs are an exception - very well played gigs

[CentraCross]

@ProjectFlashlight612 You're just confusing the terms musician and instrumentalist. Otherwise I think we all agree.

[tomtom255]

@ProjectFlashlight612 And there really is no right or wrong way to Jam, it's really just fucking around.

[unocname]

@ProjectFlashlight612 George harrison was a great guitarist... and he could play something this complex they just wanted to keep it simple... when you redo a song live you always add a bunch of licks and shit

[alwayswinit4real]

@ProjectFlashlight612 Paul was an exceptional bass player. George was a great guitarist. Ringo was a decent drummer (nothing special, but not terrible like some morons try to make out). John could play a bit of everything (similar to Paul).

[ProjectFlashlight612]

@alwayswinit4real Oh, for the love of Xenu, is this STILL going? Let me say it yet again...the Fabs were good musicians, not GREAT ones, IMHO. They were master songwriters, beyond any doubt, but it is ridiculous to claim that any of them were virtuosos at playing their respective instruments. Consider While My Guitar Gently Weeps - why hire Clapton to do the guitar solo if you know you are good enough to do it yourself? Answer: cos you're not big-headed enough to think you ARE. :)

[alwayswinit4real]

@ProjectFlashlight612 Paul was one of the best bass players ever. That's a fact.

[0000AllFitness0000]

The late great Cream Michael, the late great...

[nintendonut100]

who plays the bass onn this? was it keith? sorry if that's stupid but I know keith played bass on some of the stones stuff.

[galipooh]

@nintendonut100 I think Keith did play bass on this. He's playing one in the picture.

[MrHdfans]

I love it. Take me back to the 70's

[vitorum100]

@MrHdfans To 68!!

[spacenoise5]

DIRTY MAC FOREVER

[RockNRollOverDose]

Unity among musicians is a thing of the past.



[likew0wman]

I know this may be sacrilege, but...in my humblest of opinions, THIS version is superior to the version on THE BEATLES.

[drrobertoboogie97]

The Beatles + Cream + The Jimi Hendrix Experience + The Rolling Stones = WIN

[Herringish]

Wow, I like this version more than the original, and I'm a Beatles fanatic...

[pastyhead78]

the best supergroup!!

[hippiepsycopathz]

I've seen the video this is big bull poo. mic jagger starts them off and yoko is kneeling oddly in front of jagger!

[hakeb117]

i wanna hump Joe Pesci

[Vortigern99]

Terrific! -- this is take one, the better take of the two (or are there three -- difficult to tell with all of the various audio versions around). Clapton's solo is the most dynamic here (IMO) and Mitchell's fills are really electrifying.

[drrobertoboogie97]

John Lennon + Eric Clapton + Keith Richards + Mitch Mitchell = Sonic Awesomeness

[jmaxcamp]

who else but john could assemble such talent

[theman8083]

thats cool they got mitch in on it to..he is a great drummer

[residentevlidead]

for a band with only one song, this is my new favorite band

[Vortigern99]

@residentevlidead They also did "Whole Lotta Yoko" and "Blues Jam"!

[gilo87]

the video is on google videos still

[hendrix950]

Did YouTube really take down the actual video WTF?

[zankplus]

@hendrix950 I think they did, which royally pisses me off. The video was amazing. Song is still amazing though.

[port10483]

keith is amazing on the bass <3<3 hes killing it! :D

[1954telecaster2]

@port10483 - actually keith richards played bass on most of the Stones' best songs

[CaliKid74]

great song

[MrNonnel]

Awesome line up, and great song!

[MsHappYthoughts]

mick jagger: yer blues john..yer blues...(lol)

[Noseheros]

@MsHappYthoughts So high lmao

[swiftassassin89]

freakin awesome

[natobelli]

What about the video??
