[kathleenb1947]

"Lord have mercey" is so right! God, Buddy was so gorgeous. Can almost inhale this stuff.

what a great jam! fuck, that's heaven music :D

[JazzIsAlways]

Buddy Guy and Roland Kirk should have done an album together

[falsepride]

This is an amazing find!!!

[FrequentlyFried]

I love that organ solo..and Buddy is just so damn cool!haha AWESOME ending.

[vfondrk]

This is really old stuff. Buddy shaves his head these days.

[coosoorlog]

Roland Kirk just doesn't understand wind instruments.

[Screamingdk]

@coosoorlog yOUR ONE STUPID IDIOT.

[maynard7]

there is quite a bit more to playing the sax than soloing

[sebtarr]

Jack was a Pioneer in the Bass evolution. He's in charge as always! Vintage Buddy otherwise..!

[TheSatanas666]

young buddy looks like t-bone a lot

[taftchatham]

The problem with this track is that Guy can't get Kirk to cut loose and blow. Bruce is staying in the background and doing a perfectly good, if unspectacular, job of comping for the group. Kirk was famously ornery, and seems unwilling to take the handoff from Guy, while the organist seems more than willing to.

[TheSonikboom]

motherfucker man!!!!!!!!! TOP NOTCH MUSICIANSHIP !!!!!!!!!!!these fuckin dudes aint fukin jokin around and for people talkin shit bout jack bruce he was playing in the style o and upright bass he had too cuz the organ was in control of that section so his playing was pure perfection

[VoodooGhoul]

Bruce is actually quite restrained here doing 'walking' basslines - perfectly appropriate and very effective :) Even better at this 'event' he gets to rejoin Clapton briefly - only a few months after their last appearance together at Cream's Farewell Concert :)

[Cwilfert56]

Dear siroen , i should find you and pleasure you orally, you deserve nothing less for uploading this... THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY, my favourite guitar player and favourite bass player playing my favourite T-Bone song?! oh my good fucking god...

[discoAL]

Jack Bruce and Buddy Guy both needed turn up .. you can barely hear em..

[MyCharlie1990]

jack bruce is for sure one of the best bass players of all time. he had a very unique style. him and andy fraser similar in style, not just for the sg bass, but also for the lead style of bass playing.

[steveplexus]

These guys are very good. Their style is very hot, yet understated. I enjoyed watching and listening to them.

[MyCharlie1990]

jack bruce is for sure one one the best bass players of all time!!!

[michael713ify]

I dont know what people are talking about Jack Bruce was a master of the bassist.

[AdidasBoyzz]

Jack Bruce is sucking formidably on this jam. I went to see Roland Kirk with Jimi Hendrix in '68 and he was f**king speechless after the show. Now Jimi had musical balls of brass.,but he had too much sense and humility to get up and make a fool of himself with a consumate genius like Rahsaan.

man i just wish that buddy's guitar was more up front.

[metart93]

jack bruce is the man! always just thumpin away...

[stable1sock]

a good point sir. he does have his own style, even if it's a bit plodding. wouldn't most of us pale beside a personality like roland kirk.?

[englishbluesman]

JACK BRUCE MAN--THE BEST OF THE BEST-GUARANTEED-SIGNED-JOE T -ENGLISHBLUESMAN--

[brokenhoghead]

That's one hell of a stage. Nice to see Roland Kirk, although the song obviously

does not use his immense talent to its fullest.

[2nopainforcakes]

Who is the organist?! [2]

[Mklx3ispass]

Lols it pretty much is malcolm x on the drums

[Drblooter99]

Of course I'd rather hear Clapton than the Jonas Brothers! But I can get by without either of them. And the opinion of the "masses" is not to be given too much respect. Masses of people across the world love X Factor.

[Drblooter99]

How dull Clapton is compared to Buddy Guy.

This is blues, wild and unpredictable, intelligent and raw. Not Clapton's lifeless precision, trotting out the blues-guitar cliches like a robot.

[willwelsh816]

@Drblooter99 he got pretty rich and famous for doing it tho.

[Drblooter99]

@willwelsh816

Plenty of boring musicians get rich and famous. Doesn't make them any less boring.

[willwelsh816]

@Drblooter99 i was sort of contradicting what you said, you said hwo dull clapton was comared to buddy, I was stating that Clapton was still good enough for the masses....I love him, he got me into the blues. Compared to Buddy, yes, hes dull. But would you rather go see the jonas brothers in concert....or eric clapton ;)

[bemaniac2]

Who is the organist?!

[England5is5the5best]

Malcolm x on the drums.

[lowgrau]

@England5is5the5best That's Jimmy Hopps. Check him out.

[TimPhelan]

Damn, I would have liked that song to go on with Roland wailing away along with Buddy. Are there other songs from this concert?

[tomitstube]

tuesday's worse. buddy is the best.

[spiccybaby]

Nice!! I see that Charlie Watkins had the sound all to himself.

[funkk]

FUNKY!!!! SOULFULL!!! YEAH!!!

[jrogers71]

Holy shit,, Thanks for posting!

Yikes why are there so clueless comments on here?

would be even greater if junior wells would do some vocals!

But I like Buddy to!

[JeffKnight]

Thank you so much for sharing.

WAAW! TREMENDOOO! ESPECTACULAR!

NUNCA LO HABIA VISTO! ME ENCANTO! :D

[aaronamccoy]

but the eagle fly on friday

[Thamacx]

Listin to that ride cymbal........ Love it!! Buddy's not bad, haha

[bemaniac2]

Who is on the organ?

[lyndabeast]

Bloomin' lovely! Shame Rahsaan passed his solo over to the organist, but you can't have everything!

[gritubee]

Lorddddd!!!

[JohnnyTRex99]

What a combo! Never imagined these two playing together.  Talk about fusion!

[Mariekesone]

Super!!!...

[heru1966]

Who's the organist? Wonderful playing!

[boxingin]

Jack Bruce is a much better bassist than what I originally thought.

[oldtucepi]

Now that's what I call a good ending to a song, beautiful.

[clarinetato]

"Lord have mercy", couldn't be said better...

[JustinBolois]

Is there a DVD/recording of this performance?  And can anyone tell me the story behind this performance?

[techxdabruiser]

Historical !!

[KBconcept]

Oh yeah, you´re right! So right!

[jwjeffrey]

PageanPlant4Life, Jack Bruce is a classically trained musician like John Paul Jones.And like Jones, Jack can play keyboards and write music as well.I would say they were both equals.

[MrTexmojo]

great bass lines from the great jack bruce

[KonBlues]

Man whos playing on sax have a nice hat:0

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@KonBlues ROLAND KIRK IS A CLASSIC, HAVE SEEN HIM PLAY THREE SAXES AT ONCE, THAT IS AWESOME!!!

[timjmoran]

wow,, that is a once-in-a-lifetime musical combo, right there.. too wild!!

dig Rahsaan's vocal interjections. What a pity he didn't take Buddy's

invitation & play a solo...I'd Like to have heard that.

[Streamline09]

Is the organist Larry Young?

[GassyMaskz]

The best things in life are free

but you can give them...

[RockNRollOverDose]

Where could i find this whole show?

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

buddy guy a true legend, met him when i played at his club last year, was great to be on his stage blwoing harp and singing this same song, Stormy Monday, it was an honor to play on that stage, was the biggest rush i ever had!!!!!

[davetaylorbluespiano]

Brilliant from everybody! (but especially the organ solo!)

[hirundine608]

My fave Rahsaan Roland Kirk recording had to be his "Volunteered Slavery" album.

[mysticjaz]

The guy on organ looks like Rahn Burton.

I did some gigs with him. He was telling me about the time Jimi Hendrix sat in with Roland Kirk. Sadly, no recordings exist.

[ilovecereal371]

@mysticjaz

I bet Jimi and Kirk are making some SICK music up there in Heaven.

[GTWHITEFEVER]

The smurf is Roalnd Kirk you stupid muthafucka ...Jimi worshipped all 3 .....

[FLUSEM666]

I still dont think much of the smurf hat playing sax.

[raynoma1]

I guess u don't know sax!

[FLUSEM666]

@raynoma1

You got that right. Bass player.

[MAJORSNODGRASS]

Sadly no banjo solo.

[Psychedelicbananas]

What are those speakers cabinets? I've seen them in quite a few mid to late sixties shoes in Britain.

[dekanyp]

WEM cabinets, and yes you can see many clips from the 60's

[johntguitar]

Sucks that Roland skipped his solo

[DailyBrusher]

I think part of the problem for Jack Bruce might be that amp - isn't that a giant solid state thing? A Sunn or something? NOT a tone-monster...

[oknarbtal]

3:09 :O

[janeythebrit]

qick response to all who are slating JACK BRUCE......have any of YOU been asked to play blues with a Blues Master ? OK , shut the f*ck up then........he's got his own style (unlike most bassists who become f*cking wallpaper) ...he seems to threaten lead guitarists...and those divas HATE that !!!

[gmtdiato]

Nice to see you're still on the case![even though you were far to young to see him with the Graham Bond Organisation]

Seasonal Greetings,x

[PageandPlant4Life]

@janeythebrit

are you jack bruce's boyfriend or something?

[janeythebrit]

@PageandPlant4Life - nah just a chick with boobs , blonde hair and blue eyes.....nothing to get all excited about....

[PageandPlant4Life]

@janeythebrit

Oh, you are his cum dumpster then. Good. I would hate to be talking with someone that had an opinion that actually mattered.

[proferic]

@PageandPlant4Life Her opinion matters more than yours, airhead. Remember, Page and Plant came begging for Bruce to play bass for Led Zep. He wisely turned them down.

[PageandPlant4Life]

@proferic

Sorry I forgot you were there. You must have been hiding in the bushes behind Jimmy Page as he begged Jack Bruce to play bass for led zeppelin. John Paul Jones is a better all around musician, and he is also a better bass player in my opinion. He didn't have the Jack Bruce "Farting Bass" tone. You are full of shit. They never begged Jack to play in Zeppelin

[proferic]

@PageandPlant4Life It is a well known and well documented fact that both Page and JPJ approached Jack Bruce for the bass spot in LZ, with JPJ moving to keyboards full time. JPJ may have been in the top 20 and is certainly a good player, but Bruce, Entwistle, and Tim Bogart were the bass kings of the 60's.

[PageandPlant4Life]

@proferic

I think Entwistle is one of the all time greatest bass players. Everyone in the Who just worked extremely well together.

[proferic]

@PageandPlant4Life I would agree.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@proferic WOULD HAVE BEEN SO COOL IF THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED, JACK COULD HAVE SUNG SOME OF THE BLUES TUNES THAT ZEP COVERED, LIKE BRING IT ON HOME, AND I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HEAR JIMMY PAGE AND JACK TRADE LICKS ON GUITAR AND BASS, SO COOL TO DREAM ABOUT

[proferic]

@janeythebrit You go girl!!!!

[zthetha]

@janeythebrit Jack is a superb musician - Clapton acknowledges the enormous debt he owes him - and it seems to me that great musicians - like Miles Davis - only have to play a few notes to be recognised which - on a plodding old bass guitar is no small achievement.

[willwelsh816]

@janeythebrit Well buddy picked him...so I guess he loved it :D

[psygnsup]

Look for Rory Galleghar with Jack doing the Politician

[ADURG1]

BRILLIANT! too short, though...i guess that means i should watch it 2 or 3 more times! the only beef i have about J.Bruce bass here is maybe the tone...maybe woulda been better to roll off some treb? hoo knows....great great great either way!!!

[sam19851]

Just stating buddy that you clearly have not heard enough Bruce if you don't think he can play some slow, smooth melodic blues. Listening to Cream and this here performance doesn't really do his varied talent justice. And Kirk is a sax player, kind of a silly comparison when talking about education of bass blues.

[enrikejs]

is this on DVD? whats the name of it?

[lookseer500]

Supershow 1969

[chookygrowler]

Absolutely magic.

[hinamauka]

Hey, don't forget Jack Bruce!!

[yoursaxman]

Dude, I'm sorry but Jack Bruce has no business playing blues. All he can do is that heavy handed "thump.... thump.... thump.... thump...." has the subtlety of a sledge-hammer. Hey he's a brilliant rock bassist and i appreciate his enthusiasm and love of the blues, but still...

[sam19851]

Ill educated wanker. I love it when you can some up some people with a few words.

[yoursaxman]

sorry dude but i guess i just been spoiled playing with some wonderful blues bands and some amazing bass player over my 40 years of playing. half the trick of playing bass is knowing when NOT to play. Sure- I may be a wanker but ill educated? Kirk has been my favorite sax player since i first heard him in 1967... that's some FINE education.

[cdiaz55]

Hey saxman, Jack Bruce was quoted as saying that Cream was a jazz band but he and Ginger never told Eric!

[DYNODRUM]

@cdiaz55 Great Quote and so True .When I saw Cream way back /Jack was mesmerizing as a Musician And Clapton was basically backing Him and Drum s,up.They were all Great .but Clapto wanted to go solo .. Never forgot that show "Family " also played a Band from over there and a year later, the Bass player; R.GRECH Was w/ WINWOOD AND CLAPTON in Blind Faith ...

[jaydude214]

1:19... rahsaan does the double horns... thats siiick

[UnclassifiedProducer]

Wow. Rhassan and Buddy Guy on the same stage and tune? Super cool. Thanks for posting.

How weird that Kirk never got off after all that prodding from Buddy. Missed opportunity.

[brownj2]

O that is smokin!

[petequintin]

whos the sax palyer?

[bobgreen623]

Rahsaan Roland Kirk, being relatively restrained here!

[GuitarGuy5000000000]

The clapping drowned out the finnish.

[desolatemeadow]

does anyone know the manufacturer and model of that particular organ he's using?

[chefguitar]

That's a Hammond B-3

[Rikididimau]

If you ever got to a church with a black congregation this organ almost mandatory, I am a white man post 50 years of age, and will at times seek out a church with blacks just to hear the blues inspired hymns, and of course the unmistakable sound of the Hammond

[garygomesg]

That's a Hammond, but it looks like a smaller spinet, like an L100 or L122, or maybe an M Series. Keith Emerson and Tony Banks played similar organs. B-3's are much bigger and have a different keyboard look.

[Oric]

It's an M-100! I've got one, it's a cool little organ. Led Zeppelin used one, and also Booker T and the MGs in Green Onions

[hugleberthumperdink]

Me too man, an M-102 to be precise. Any idea whose on the beast itself?

[darthspliff]

whoa now thats some blueeeeeeeess right der

[dodel1]

you can't really hear the guitar in the beginning

[JilaX]

Just listen well ;)

[dhampex]

MMMmmaaaaannnn! Straight Gut Buckett Blues. Brings me back to the south!!!

[Darmikalus]

No... No I don't believe anything has ever been this awesome in the history of time...

[downonthe1]

Rashaan Roland Kirk used to hang out at Teresas's on the southside a lot and sat in all the time.just like Miles and Muddy, Gene"Jug" Ammons and Howlin' Wolf! if ya don't dig the BLUES you must have a hole in your SOUL!

[kb2nxe]

I used to go see him at the Club Ruby in Jamaica, Queens, NY

[1dudeman2]

thanks for postin had no idea these guys jammed together , this is super cool

[mientememami]

Holy shit! I never knew this existed! Daaaaaammmmnnnn....

1:47 is especially intense...

[ramjac]

ok my mistake, hes quoting lester young's solo from fine and mellow. then goes n to quote the beatles for christs sake!! how funny :)

[ramjac]

even funnier, he quotes the entire horn section from billie holidays fine and mellow - as only kirk could!! :)

[ramjac]

haha kirk quotes coleman hawkins. nice :)

[Leondale]

Yo! Buddy! Bust dat endin' UP!! lol!!

[mumbleora]

You notice how Rahsaan graciously did not crowd Guy, but yet you knew he was right there with him and also let the pianist have the solo.

[trippyvicky665]

i meant to say...it makes me have the unresistable urge to dance. lol

[trippyvicky665]

Oh my God! This is so amazing! I agree with whoever said this was sexy. It makes me the the unresistable urge to dance xD

I love all these guys. REAL music right there.

[glennfryenpie]

wtf, that was so coooool.

[janeythebrit]

music at it's most sexy.....that bass line hits a very deep place....hhmmmmmmm

will someone

PLEASE

package Jack Bruce and send him to me !

[angrykoopa]

Is that crazy brotha playing two horns at the same time? Damn, this will never stop blowing my mind 5/5

[PJPK1111]

Two??

Roland Kirk is being modest here - He could play three saxes and a flute at the same fucking time!

[jcsizmazia]

Earl Scuggs on the mandolin.

[fiddlercrab3]

LOL yeah, really like his solo right after Buddy's... ha.

[GremoryMusic]

This is better version than all the million I've heard. The blues is best heard from the originators and from the "brothas".

[gwarbos]

YEAHHHHHHH JACK BRUCE MANNNNNNNNNNN

[rophar]

Buddy Guy, or as he is known south of the

border, Amigo Hombre.

[deepintoblues]

Cool! I guessed Roland inspired Buddy to get all "jazzy" w/ the little George Benson inspired part at the end. Never heard him play like that before.

[jay2rocks]

how was that jazzy

he was just singin what he was playing

but ut was all blues on the guitar

[YogiSizzle]

Tone wise, I think this is the best I've heard Buddy play. Usually his tone is really sharp and piercing.

[andzwe]

@deepintoblues

Musicians often try to impress each other in the first place and it wouldn't surprise me if Buddy Guy was doing that there as well.

[mightyhighrocks]

Why didn't someone have Roland Kirk and Buddy Guy make a record together?

[kzearo]

That organ solo is inspired. Who is that guy?

[ruben1956]

I guess it's Larry Young.

[garygomesg]

Larry's was a lot heavier. That isn't Larry Young.

[FLUSEM666]

Love it!!!

[voodUman99]

Rahsaan!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, this is just too sweet! What a great post to see these legendary jams!!!! You wouldn't happen to have Kirk with Jimi by chance?

[himtroy]

I have that exact same organ..

[ThePondDogs]

can you spot jack bruce in this video? =D

[jeffbeck710]

im 15 and just because it isnt the 60s doesnt mean i shudnt love this music
