"Satan and Adam": documentary trailer (final cut)

[theoldschoolclub]

is it out yet?

[kobac]

what's the name of the song at the end?

song from U2?

[Aikenan]

@kobac Gideon by My Morning Jacket

[bubusss234674]

Satan and Adam when is it coming? nice greeting hax

[mara147369]

any release date news?

[KudzuRunner]

That's certainly a fair question. The answer is: No. Scott, the filmmaker, is still working on it. Footage from 2009 will probably be included. The saga continues...........

[DaveyBadCraic]

@KudzuRunner Surely 10 years of footage is enough to make a good documentary?

[KudzuRunner]

15 years, not 10.  And yes: one would think so. I have no control over the process, I'm afraid. I trust Scott to finish it eventually, but "eventually" could be another 10 years. It would be nice, though, if he finishes it before Sterling (Mr. Satan) dies. I'm hoping for that. I really am.

[Ledvolta]

@KudzuRunner is mister satan alright, at the moment? I hope so

[mara147369]

@KudzuRunner im still w8in :)

[OutlanderOfEarth]

Impressive.

[envodas]

hell man, your my inspiration you cannot believe the amount of help youve given me since last year thanks so much...

[photohunter87]

Adam,

Is this film currently available? Where can I find it?

Can you recommend any other good films or documentaries about and/or rooted in the blues?

[MagnetLoop]

Will they ever release the movie?

[PayoFyah]

yes,you are right,now is pretty safe to come here,now that security has increased, most drug traffickers are in jail,now is pretty safe,and our country is very beautiful,with a wonderful weather and great people, culture and FOOD!!,come man,i know you will like it,most of us will love to see ya here!!

stay safe

[PayoFyah]

does Mr. satan still lives??

[KudzuRunner]

Sure. He lives in Gulfport, Florida. See the "satan and adam" page at Modern Blues Harmonica, my website.

[PayoFyah]

adam,I BEG YOU(i know begging is pathetic...but...)i want you guys to perform one day here in medellin,colombia,here people love blues music,specially if the music is played by street-rooted musicians(i dont know if you get my point),and sure,i will visite your website

thanks for the lessons and the time for answering

[KudzuRunner]

Your part of the world was pretty dangerous 5-10 years ago; lots of murders by drug traffickers, if I'm not wrong. I'm all for traveling, but that unnerves me. Yet I get the sense that perhaps Colombia is somewhat safer for tourists these days.....

[jfllr1]

Come to England instead then!! ;)

[moscularrulez]

Not just in the USA we love Satan and Adam across the pond as well. Will the film see a UK release?

[christianisgroovy]

only recently heard of them through Adam's harmonica tutorials and cannot wait to see this

[fo0n]

man i cannot wait to see this documentary. i am so sad that i am just learning about satan and adam. please keep me informed about a release date and where i might be able to see this in houston.

[zanzibu]

To me and likely others these two men represent american music, undenialbly rooted in the land we call home north,south,east,west USA! Proud of you!

[suzyqblues]

I love what this is about, and I hope to

meet you at SPAH this week.

[juanarm]

great teacher adam gussow cant wait to see it

[DancingSkunk]

damn Adam: you are so much more legit than I gave you any credit for. Keep up the "Secrets Revealed", they've helped me so much.

[TattersPL]

awesome =OO

[JohnnyT68]

Man... Adam, after following a couple of lessons i was intrested in who this mister Sterling was and hitted this trailer. I am amazed and hope that the financial stuation is solved. I know there are a lot of networks here in Holland who would invest in suchs docs. We Dutch love those human-interest docs. Orded the book, can't wait.

Good luck.

Jan.

[darkdave25]

That looks awesome. I have to see that film

[monkeytwofive]

Signs and turn outs.

I recently discovered a blues harp I got once from the father of a lost love. And because I'm forever broke right now, why not give it a try. So I stumbled upon your videos here on youtube and I'm really enjoying them and practicing hard.

The trailer to the documentary made my cry. So much love and so much human, it's almost unbearable. Thank you for sharing...

[NotSoUniversal]

where can we see this? ????????

[KudzuRunner]

Hopefully in about a year. Scott Balcerek, the director/producer, is cutting the full film together as we speak......

[thebladesman]

whoa.....that trailer sold me, both as a film-geek and a blues enthusiast. long live the blues!

[TheDev01dOne]

This looks like something I definitely have to see.

I was turned onto your harp videos by a friend Adam and in about 3 days of just watching them and listening to what you say and watching you play I've become a 10x better player already.

I've also gone out and bought all your albums which are amazing and get very hig playtime in my room. Saving up to buy your book (which costs a bomb in UK for some reason) now.

[TheDev01dOne]

Ran out of letters.

Seems kinda cheesy but I really want to say thanks for everything you do, your music, your lessons (you're a great teacher even through your videos, can't imagine how good personal lessons would be), and for introducing me to Mr Satan who seems like an amazing guy. You're extremely humble, you obviously have a lot of respect for Mr Satan but you deserve all the credit you get too!

I'm kinda rambling sorry. Thanks for the inspiration and just being the great guy you are.

[fxrenegade]

Brilliant stuff! Really powerful and moving music. The director and crew did a great job on the trailer. Can't wait for the release of the full Documentary.

[shlitser]

i was a pretty shy kid when i used to get lessons from you adam but when you told me to go play in the subway it got me out of my shell.10 years later im still wailing on harp and play in europe.hope i can get the documentry over here.good luck!

[KudzuRunner]

Glad to know it. Your videos scare the hell out of me! I'm amazed. I urge my viewers to check out your rock climbing stuff.

[shlitser]

haha they scare the hell out me too after i get to sit and see what I´ve done .

take care Adam

[toastycigar]

these guys played in my living room in philly in 1995

[Clarky3009]

Awe, i cant wait till this comes out, what a documentary it must be, followed you guys through all those incidents, will be great!

[tslim06]

amazing.really looking forward to it. what is the name of the track that comes in at 2'00min?

[KudzuRunner]

I have no idea.  It's great, though. Contact the director, vscottb at mac dot com and ask.

[ueto6123]

It's called "Gideon" by My Morning Jacket

[tslim06]

thanks!

[cibomatto47]

I'm really looking forward to hearing about this! Congrats.

[Midaiki]

I can't what for the hole thing.

[Iforgotmyusername123]

Great music man. I recently got your mother mojo album and I really dig it. I think I'm getting pretty good at blues harmonica but I've been watching your lessons to improve and they've been REALLY helpful. When is the full length documentary coming out? I'd really like to see it.

[KudzuRunner]

It's supposed to come out in the summer of 2009. Just hang in there, everybody....

[TheTomKaneBand]

I saw the trailer today and I am awe'd...you must be very proud.

t.kane

[KudzuRunner]

Yes, Scott has done an amazing job after all these years of accumulating footage. When the full length thing comes out....watch out!

[Clarky3009]

adam, this dvd coming to the UK? would be great if it could man. Your my inspiration dude, p.s the book is great!

[KudzuRunner]

I'm sure it will, eventually. Hopefully we all become huge stars, make lots of money. Gosh, maybe we'll even get to meet U2.

[Clarky3009]

thanks man!, yeah tht wud be great, hope to see you in the UK mate ;D. Scotland if you can :P. just bought ur CD also! living on the river.

[keoccy]

Any chance of an Oz version?

[dbigwalker]

That was to cool!!!!!!!!!

[hankshreve]

When is this available on DVD?? I will buy it as soon as I find it. I love Satan and Adam's work. The real shi....um...stuff

[KudzuRunner]

The doc will, with luck, be out in the summer of 2009. I'd originally hoped for 2008, but the filmmaker runs on his own schedule and I'm behind him 100%.

[sculls77]

mate... would be awesome to get that doco sorted (i'm sure you dont need convincing)... us folks down-under would love it. cheers for all the help adam.

scully

[ultrakool]

Touche prof. If you say so.

[ultrakool]

Hey Adam, admit it, it aint a word. Just keepin ya humble man. Hey, you're one of the world's greatest harpists. So what if you coined a non-word, according to Webster, anyway. Bite the bullet on this one English prof. Who knows, maybe it'll enter the lexicon cuz a you.

[KudzuRunner]

Are you talking about the word "co-acceleration'? I'm afraid that I didn't coin it; I got it from Alan Lomax's THE LAND WHERE THE BLUES BEGAN, and it is definitely a word. Google it!

[petro62]

It is a shame that good stories like this have trouble getting the funding to be made. I really hope it eventually does and I get a chance to have a copy. You would think someone like PBS would want to jump onto this.

[blake46long]

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap....this film has been made!?!?! Why hasn't this been plastered all over the "L?" Maybe I've just been deleting posts too arbitrarily or sumpin'. Anyway, great trailer - very professional, exhilirating, even - and I MUST see this film. Any word on release / distribution? Holy crap......

[KudzuRunner]

The film has been shot--over a period of 12 years--but Scott Balcerek, the director, needs a bucketful of money to finish it up. Full-scale documentaries aren't cheap. If you know somebody who might want to help, please contact SB via his website, satanandadam dot com

[PurrfectPictures]

Hi,

I adore the way you have shot this trailer. A completely inspirational story. A beautiful portrayal of life!

Cant wait for the full length version.

[jasonricci]

Love you guys!

[KudzuRunner]

Thanks, J.

[Filmosity]

This looks very compelling. Well shot, well produced. Looking forward to seeing it sometime.

[Fatwebbie]

This looks awesome, great photography. Thanks for the lessons. I just bought a harmonica the other day. Can't play for squat and I have no musical ability at all, but it is fun to play!

Thanks

[brianwaynewhite]

great promo. nice editing! can't wait to see the whole thing. my trailer is up, as well.

[ueto6123]

facial scrub!

[ultrakool]

Satan is right. Coexcelleration? "A big ole word that aint worth a damn." In fact, Mr. associate ENGLISH professor of MS U, 'taint a word 'tall. Look it up. But I kid Satan and Adam, they deserve a place in musical history. Forget the hype.

[KudzuRunner]

Before you make definitive pronouncements, you should google the non-word. 42 hits for "coacceleration." It is indeed a word.

[ultrakool]

The last half of this clip reads like a trailer to a movie that would create a ground swell.

[ultrakool]

I love their work.

[tranquillmiss]

To our friend in UK

Satan will be on tour in Belgium in Oct. (blues fest)

Monday night found us in Hotel courtyard so many musicians

Supporting Satan They had to play in shifts.

I will be posting up dates .

My pal Barry Simms opens and plays breaks

[BluSTi]

My vote made it 5 stars. Nice work JR.

[OCDrob]

What a major find for me and it was a total accident. I wasn't even thinking about the harp. Thanks Adam and Mr Satan.

[tranquillmiss]

[funkywtboy]

Mr Satan says, "Thanks for the promo! Hope to see you there!

Mr Satans Roadie

[pielover89]

I'm pumped!

To everyone else, while you are waiting for this, read Mister Satan's Apprentice! Like Harry Potter, the movie is exciting, but the book has so much more.

[fatherofprismatics]

brought tears to my eyes. thanks for telling your story!

[1legmidget]

thats just awsome. who knows, maybe with this there will be a revival in blues and with the harp man. that would be pretty awsome too

[cptnflashheart]

Absolutely outstanding, nothing short of breathtaking!

i hope it gets to the uk? if not i`m coming over!

keep on harpin on adam.

[coheedark]

errr adam... i had meant to reply to your comment ..... but i acccidentally marked it as spam .. SORRY

and this is to be in theaters?!?!? HOT DOG IM GOING!

[61mott]

This looks brilliant Adam, for all who love blues this looks like it will become a MUST SEE. I hope it's going to be released down under here in Australia (SA).

Mott

[SiggyMe]

Adam this is Awesome,inspiring, real humans at the cutting edge of their souls, can't wait to see it in the theaters and then buy the video.

[GtrSoulO]

Wow! That documentary looks awesome! Too bad I never got to see you guys play it out in the streets of New York for real. Oh well, next best thing is to see this documentary when it comes out. :)

[larrymail]

I'm excited for you Adam, can't wait to see it.

Thanks for all you do on youtube.

[marcospokermail]

btw this lookes like a better trailer than the one i saw on

modernbluesharmonica (.com)

because i couldnt understand a couple things they said in that other on this one was clearer

where do we find your mailing address adam?

[KudzuRunner]

P.O. Box 2216, Oxford MS 38655. This one is slightly longer and cut slightly less severely--i.e., scenes run on slightly longer.

[marcospokermail]

that gave me goosebumps it looks like it will be really good espeassially since ive already gotten you know you through your tutalige

[deweydeloe]

It looks great! I will go see it or buy it. Thanks for the lessons Adam.

[honeydawg]

Adam... keep the American Film Institute (AFI) in Silver Spring Maryland (suburban Washington DC) in mind for a screening next summer. Nice venue. With any luck we can have a post-viewing post-discussion jam... :-)

[bobblunn]

Cool! I'm anxious to see the film!

[toamille]

Another year!!! I will have to eat my harp to keep me calm.

[vengermader]

Great. When is the release date?

[KudzuRunner]

See the extended description above, to the right of the video. With luck, it'll be in theaters next summer (2008).

[dfwdlg]

Cool to see the trailer while in the middle of reading your new book. I'd hold my breath till the movie comes out but then I couldn't practice!

[ilovecereal371]

I'm buying this the day it comes out. No doubt about it.

[bergerkinggg]

Amazing! I cant wait until it comes out!
