  • jimmy johnson, great!!!

  • There are many blues players across the nation. They are not well known.

  • Johnson still plays as good as he ever did, often with Dave Specter 

  • @TDKIII Is he still playin? I'd love to see him

  • That looks like Jimmy Johnson on 2nd guitar 

  • terry47family I wouldn't say it is a lost art from. It has certainly changed, but it is a living tradition. It is real, since the style is passed down from generation to the next. Chicago is still full of great blues musicians.

  • And Pintop Perkins on keys, Phil Guy on other guitar, Mr. Buddy's brother who I hear passed away good Chicago sound. Sad we can longer hear and see this type of classical American musical form. A lost art form.

  • And Pintop Perkins on keys,

  • I have this on CD. Junior Wells & Buddy Guy live in Montreau.

    -C&TK

  • What a lineup! Junior Wells, Jimmy Johnson, Buddy Guy, Dave Myers, & Odie Payne.

  • Wells even says 'Jimmy!' before Johnson goes off on the first solo.

  • and yes it's Jimmy Johnson on guitar with Buddy, not Phil Guy.

  • Omg. Is that Dre? Lol

  • Amazing......very , very great band,...de luxe. MC

  • Odie Payne's timing was superb. I'd kill for Junior's jacket.

  • @mfrank91

    Payne is the real star of this - not that the others are doing all that bad. He's just amazing.

  • The first solo is Jimmie Johnson, not Philip Guy.

  • That's super cool! Maybe BoB can do this sort of stuff.

  • @EwolIDJ I don't think that's Phil Guy...I beleive it Jimmy Johnson

  • I think that's Philip Guy on the 1st guitar solo - the second is Buddy's, but the cameraman is still on Phil, just in case anyone's confused. He realises it on the last bar. (This happens a lot in impromptu concert filming, nobody's fault really.) I love the harp solo on the original recording (Chicago: The Blues Today vol.1) - I don't think Jr ever matched it on stage - tempo probs maybe? His style could be tantalizingly minimal sometimes, and this is a good example.

  • Is that harp in the key of C? I'm a novice player and can't get that first bend on a 'blow'. Any tips welcome...

  • @c3pbo Aha ... F

  • Oh man, one of my all-time favourites; thanks for uploading!
