  • That's the reason why Youtube was invented. Thanks

  • Comment removed

  • Maybe it aint the music they dont like

  • What a Treasure! Thanx for sharing.

  • Impresionante, blues, blues y mas blues.

  • I call this happy-happy music,even the people who are not drunk will get up and dance

  • best before sunrise, and maybe little after....

  • this lineup is insane!

  • This is my first introduction to the playing of T Bone Walker. Found a reference to him on the June 2011 issue of Guitarist Magazine accompanying DVD. This is great stuff. I like metal, but most rock and metal has it roots in the those ole blues......

  • Man, if this ain't the best team goin' and the video......milespaul, everyone here THANKS YOU to the high heavens for posting this video. It should be enshrined! Anyone who put a thumbs down to this, mulechild, what you're telling them is a nice thing! I doubt very highly they even understand what you posted them!!

  • Wow , what a band!

  • That is some line up!

  • Awesome line-up. Legends all.

  • Charles Haley up in Bakersfield, Do you hear this? Reminds me of the Cotton Club days on Lakeview avenue. This is Contrell. When we played music there, we'd invite Dave gomez on guitar, and we'd sound like this, especially with Big Joyce on vocals! Oh man, what good music! What good days! This video is a GEM!

  • Ms Humes needs to cut back on the fried chicken.

  • I usually don't like black female vocalists, but this is terrific.

  • @duncanstpt Every, black female vocalist? Like from Ma Rainey to Shemeka Copeland? From Lady Day to Mariah Carey. From Mahalia Jackson to Yolanda Addams? With Bessie, Aretha, Sarah Vaughan, Marian Anderson, Ella, Etta, Minnie, Whitney, Gladys Knight... you don't like any of them? I'm impressed... you are incredibly consistent.

  • How can ten people not like this???

    Eight minutes and 41 seconds of terrific music.

  • The mighty Mr T-hibodeaux's last line in the verse,

    "Cause she's my old time used-to-be."

    I.e., she's a gone girl....

  • damn, at only 21 years of age, I just hope that before I die, there is some sort of renaissance of this type of music. With all the talent out there, you would think that more folks would reach for their roots. Heres to hoping! And cheers to this outstanding video. long live the blues

  • @teh0wenzor11 Good call, but there already are lots of clubs hosting this stuff. It's out there for sure, just gotta find it. Not sure where you're from, but N. California has tons of blues clubs. But they can't ever touch this song, this is epic. One way to to bring it back is to share this stuff with people you know. I've shared this with quite a few people and only 30% really liked it. Good blues just isn't liked by everybody.

  • @teh0wenzor11 :the blues is always alive; if you try to do it yourself, it´s the best way to keep it strong. I´m 65 years old and still play the blues every day. you should go the same way.

  • Klykas: He says "I'm in love with a woman, but she's not in love with me."

  • What is the name of this song?

  • @Aeschlimann1 its an impro

  • Ya see, without it, we are nowhere, we are nothing. If ya missed it, live it now, it's NOT too late.

  • Don't worry too much I am a native English speaker and I can't be sure of what he sings

  • Absolutely brilliant. 10 people are obviously having a laugh :)

    One question , what does T-Bone Walker after "I am in love with a woman but she's not in love with me" two times? Something like "....because she's my ......." I am not a native speaker, and I dont hear it :) thanks for help!

  • Classic with some of the worlds best blues musicians ...

  • best of the best! if I die now I'll be in heaven!

  • LUCKY WE WHO FOUND THIS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE! The quality of life improves with such finds!

  • if someone asked me which artists to put in one band together on those instruments- its those players. pure magic

  • Possibly the best clip ever ever ever,!! where is some more of this shit and less justin bieber and blathering about religion and stupid f-ing politics, you idiots this is the real shit!!

  • The real Dream Team of Blues!

    Thank you very much for posting!!!

  • Sheer bliss! Wonderful film - the music beyond words. Yes, bergerfry, you are right. It is like light itself.

  • Memphis Slim, need I say more?

  • "I'm in love with a woman but she's not in love with me" That's so me!

  • stop the lights, this is amazing and some day il be able to use a pc withmore than one finger.........

  • this is a fucken legendary clip where the fuck did you find it man god bless whoever posted this your my blues hero

  • This is so great by far one of the best vids ive found on here i never even knew about this

  • increibleeeeeeeeeeee

  • wow this fuc amazing 

  • world needs love peace and BLUES!!!

  • absolutely amazing!!

  • holy crap! this is quite the super (awesome) group

  • any one that dont like this fucks cats and dogs

  • If you're thinking about disliking this video, you must clearly and effectively make an argument explaining how the music in this video is inferior to whatever it is you listen to.

    If you can't make a good argument (meaning no "I don't like blues", "It's my opinion", and "You can't make me do that"), you or ONLY allowed to leave this comment:

    I am wrong.

  • The fact that any Lady Gaga vid has more hits than this is a sad statement of misinformed musical appreciation.

  • The Master of the Guitar who invet the "solo"

  • T-bone Walker chords - absolutely unique and Memphis Slim accompaniment. This is blues grandeur at it best. Helen just is the icing on the cake. I have a Memphis Slim signed "American Folk Blues" vinyll. This is platinum to me.

  • @David53D In the mid 70's I saw Muddy Waters, Lightin' Hopkins, and Howlin' Wolf at the Hollywood Sportatium in the same night. Hollywood, Fl. USA.

  • The !960s was a great time to see the last of the true blues greats.

  • You really hear this with your soul rather than your ears.

  • You here this with your soul rather than ears.

  • Pure Class! Thanks for posting this

  • It doesn't get any better than this !!! It's just like my home base the Dead Goat Saloon in Salt Lake City, Utah where I met up with many of the blues greats through the '70s, '80s, '90s, and early 2000s. SLC is mostly a White city and blues and jazz are very popular here. Blues players enjoy SLC because we don't seem to have an eye for color all that much. Many of us love the blues and those who sing and play it and that's what counts anyhow !!!

  • Someone should have pushed the FREEZE button on the time machine..

  • Oh my. Does the library of congress have?

    More please

  • All these legends in one spot!!! Amazing video!!

  • bellos .....muy buenos ensambles....y esa armonica tejedora de notas arma la secion....

  • Comment removed

  • simply. amazing.

  • when was this? mid sixties?

  • You gotta be kidding me: Willie Dixon, T-Bone Walker, Memphis Slim, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee . . . If I open my eyes in heaven, here's the club I see my first night. Helen Humes: what a voice!

  • well, 1370 people dislikes those 9 stupid ignorant.

  • dream team !

  • I just keep coming back to this vid. This is the most precious vid I've found on YouTube. My belated gratitude, thanks million milespaul!

  • America's best export .... the only ones who didn't know it were the Americans .....

  • @qcveronique The 9 dislikes must be by 9 of those Americans.

  • Beyond amazing!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks for posting this video! For me, it doesn't get much better than this. Fantastic!

  • 9 people don't listen music, they listen noise...

  • This video should never be lost. It should be enshrined (but playable!) somewhere safe for all eternity.

  • @SarahRachel59 Couldn´t agree more.

  • @SarahRachel59 i was just thinking the same thing, i have a couple of playlists with "nostalgic" music if oyu could say, they just keep gettin turned into white un-playable videos, that i cant even see the name on :/ Kinda a bummer if you've gotten "lucky" and found 10-15 songs you like in a night, and havent gotten em written down yet..

  • @SarahRachel59 Search 'keepvid' on google - if you enter this website address into the bar, it'll dowload it to your computer (you can also download MP3)

  • @SarahRachel59 Search 'Keepvid' into google (first result), if you type this website address into the bar, it'll download it to your computer - no buffering needed!

  • OMG, this is Awesome! Thank you for uploading!!!!!!!!!!

  • keping it alive

  • Git yo wighat on

  • Blues don't get better than this.What a band. I was born to late to have seen any of them live.

  • the 8 that disliked this, need lining up and shot!!!!!!

  • born tooooo late. thank the great spirit for these videos!!!!!

  • i wish i was there..one hand with a smoke and another with a beer....or wine would do

  • Where the HELL are these videos coming from? I have most of those blues tour DVD's and not seen many of these I'm seeing on YouTube????

  • You eight folks that don't like this clip should just stop listening to music - seriously!

  • @mulechild That's about the best thing ive read on you tube!

    Thank god for German TV in the 1960's that's all I can say.

  • @mulechild

    I agree. Anyone who does not appreicate this is ignorant and has no knowledge or appreciation of the blues . This is the real deal with a powerhouse or the founders of blues, and we may never see anything like this again in our time. Are you kidding me? Memphis Slim, T-Bone Walker, and Willie Dixon? Terry and McGhee?

    I am sure those eight folks like some poppy bubble gum S*!?&...

  • @mulechild So true.. Just the power in it.... Uffh..

  • @mulechild Seriously!!! If people don't like this, they don't like music.
