[AlanSturgess]

Thank heavens there are now quite a lot of concert uploads or interviews which feature JC.

[AlanSturgess]

I have all but one of John's CD's (can't locate one here in the UK as yet) - a fantastic musician with some of the grittiest singing and guitar you'll ever hear.

[fireballkiller]

sounds alot like pride and joy by SRV...definatley not a bad thing....awesomeness..

[xeridian]

@fireballkiller Where do you think Stevie Ray got Pride and Joy from???? All blues players traded and borrowed just to make good music. This was WAY before SRV wrote Pride and Joy and is where he borrowed it from.

[xeridian]

@xeridian I will correct myself, since this is in 1986 so this wasnt recorded before P&J but Pride and Joy had only been released 2-3 years prior to this, SRV was in fact influenced by Muddy Waters in the writing of P&J so I can see the relativity in his choice for callback.

[CrowJaneAlley]

Wow, made it my favorit right away. !!!!!

[WillyDeVilleMusik]

This is what it 's all about. DreamDear.

[slickrik1982nl]

Thank you for putting this on utube, dude is like awesemo!!

[mihkeljo]

thank you for posting, this is really awesome!

[mvr1ne]

Thanks for this. Used to see him play when he worked at Matt Umanov's in NYC and then once by surprise at Jazzfest in NOLA. Found out he played regularly at a place called Monsoon in NYC and we'd go see him regularly until we moved away. Not too long after we heard he'd died and I always wondered how. I never thought his recordings did him justice, so this is good to see.

[SyvetheShairks]

Ah mosh yo' haid, you fok wi' ME pirogue...

[SuggarPye]

Oh ya... this is music

[croterius]

steve ray vaughan - pride and joy

[musoyogi]

This is so great to see. Thanks so much for posting. I used to see him play in NYC as often as possible in the late '80's. One night on his birthday he just brought the house down. It was a real magical moment an evening I'll never forget. And then he told the story of how he got his dobro and who it originally belong to.

[slickrik1982nl]

im jealous now :( :P tnx for sharing though :)

[tenesmus]

I'm not that surprised he died of a heart attack - look at the tension in him as he plays. It's interesting - some musicians seem to be one with the music. The music and the musician are on equal footing. But Campbell plays like he has the music by its throat. I don't know if that is good or bad but it's impressive either way.

[njj37]

dang hes fast

[ipodjunkie5]

Here's the entire defenition of the word blues!

[Lukeblueslover]

Absolutely NOT. He's good for sure though.

[plattform5163]

Thanks for sharing great blues!

[789pequignot]

great cover

[Alcatus]

There is a certain determined drive underlying his playing that I personally find magnetic and exciting to follow.

[foolintherain116]

i am personally not impressed with this guy. he's obviously got some skills on the guitar, but there's somethin about him that just doesn't sound good.

[ipodjunkie5]

John was amazeing,thanx for posting!

[Glaeken1961]

Gibson should post this: here's what TONE is, in the hands of a gifted player and interpreter of the Blues. A real bluesman.

[gocarlisle]

Jesus, I think I'll give up on the guitar!

[dirklonger]

hell, there's no blues in the singing, and the playin is not thta good, sorry

[louisianahaywire]

No offense, but you're a dumbass...

[TonyFranciosi]

yea, what's with these people?

[Kelpherder]

100% agree

[sebytheman]

@dirklonger lolololol ever tried to play guitar asshat?

His playing kicks your ass into next week.

[misteravocado5]

@dirklonger The playing is not that great? In that case, I'd like to hear some of the music you listen to, it must be godly. Or maybe you just don't know what you're talking about. I really am curious though... What sort of music do you listen to?

[fireballkiller]

@dirklonger agree your an ignorant slut..

[dartpaul]

Мясо!

[BlindLemonJaffaCake]

The man.
