Without these old blues guys there would be no rock or popular music at all. These men are disappearing from this earth and with them, their music. This is the real deal, there is nothing like this ever again. Blues is the backbone of all American music.
2NDSIGHT is the shit!!check this new guy out!!He's singing about some real shit in the second half of his video called HARD HEAD!!! 2NDSIGHT HARD HEAD!!!
I'm always amazed at how many of today's young (under 40) blacks are unaware of the blues. To lose touch with such a marvelous musical heritage is tragic. It seems wrong for a middle aged white guy like me to tell a young black dude about the blues. Once they've been exposed to music like this, the current crop pf crap will fall by the wayside.
@sabartholomew Music like this is an absolute masterpiece and a treasure beyond worth. Some of these black musicians have given us something really special.
@brewcrewfan31 I'm posting one classic bllues video on my facebook page for the rest of the month. So far, I;ve posted Big Mama Thornton,Luther Allison, Howling Wolf, Matt Murphy,and today this piece.
talk about racists, here in Australia in early 1829 it was declared open season on Black aboriginie,s in tasmania, of the whole black population (mind you they have been the 40,000 years to date,)white only a few hundred years00,the white,s killed evey black person that moved,,((all but 1000 souls)),nearly wiped them out entirley,an people wonder why they have an attitude towards white folks, cant blame them really, the white poms back then have a shit load to answer for,,,,
@barnfres60 Stop being a fuckwit, that was in the past and guess what would have happened if the whites hadn't have come and fixed Australia. There would be nothing but a bunch of uncivilized abos squatting in the bush. It was terrible what happened but it wa in the past and progress has a price.
@barnfres60 i dont think people read your post carefully or they would've seen you weren't talkin about the current generation . I agree , mass murder and slavery aren't something anyone should agree with , no matter if between races or not . I'll be honest with you , the thought alone of a man mistreating another cause of the color of his skin disgusts me . God bless ye .
@Zleepy187 i know, thats the trouble, people cant read and hence dont understand, except to reply the same way the white folks did back then when they would kill you for even having a point of view?much like the comments ive recieved,thank god they are only aloud to use the key board and not make decissions..Yeeks !!!take care mate !!!
Its not racist. every time I go see anybody who plays the blues like him Buddy Guy or what have you the audience is white. I can't help it if we all like the blues... rock on!
This is great but all the audience is white, even the other band payers are white. Indicative of the racist segregation they had back then and possibly even now...
Blues shaped me fom an angle and will always love it. I'm white and no, not fashionably being a blues fan...
@Keithaki Complete nonsense. He's playing in England. The band is white because they're local. There was no segregation. The audience is white because the country was white. The fairly small black population were mostly Caribbean and had their own music, the blues boom was a white phenomenon. You would probably claim to be *against* prejudice, and yet here you are pre-judging (that's what prejudice means) this entire situation as racist, all based wrong assumptions.
@PutItAway101 correct it was in England not far from where my great great grandmother was born and raised. I can say that there hardly was any segregation in england but there was a heck of alot of racism especially places today where you will find 'black populated areas' i.e. South London, Birmingham. Todays poll percentage of blacks in england is 2.9% especially where the East Anglia in the east of england where you hardly come across a black, jew, muslim, gay etc. I swear!
@Shane72634 That guy annoyed me. I've always found that self-appointed "anti-prejudice" white knights are often the most prejudiced people you'll ever find. They'll decide they know exactly what someone's opinions and motivations are based entirely on the colour of their skin or where they're from. They think that "racism" is the most serious accusation you can possibly make against someone, and yet they're happy to make the accusation with no evidence whatsoever, just assumptions.
When I was right out of boot camp in 1971, i got liberty in San Francisco. Me an' a couple of buds took the cable car from Market to Broadway and walked down that wikked street. We were debating which clip joint to go into. The swab from San Diego saw "John Lee Hooker" on the marque of the "Hungry I" and insisted we go there. I didn't know who JLH was but as soon as the music started, I was hooked. We stayed and drank gin till we had to get back to the ship. One of the best liberty's ever.
@RighteousWilly i wish i was with ya then as well,,thats a good story mate,one of the best on you tube, just love stuff like that from the past, god knows there,s not much doing these days,,, cheer,s mate sydney down under !!!!
@barnfres60 After boot camp I went to the Tonkin Gulf. Australians were about the only people I would meet that didn't hate American military men during Viet Nam. It was always good news when i would meet 'stralians in Hong Kong or elsewhere, so cheers back at 'cha.
@barnfres60 Thanks for that! Another Blues musician I saw on Broadway in San Francisco was Jimmy Witherspoon, check his version of One Scotch,One Bourbon,One Beer!
Look how shell shocked those white chicks look..rofl... they cant shake it at all..and of course.. all the black people wouldn't be allowed in.. gotta love this country..
@65kellys Remember that this clip comes from England in the early 1960's. There weren't too many black people in England then. As for the lack of a"Shake it" ability of the audience, watch the intent crowd around the black chef at 1:49 and 1:56. I believe they were taking notes. Another thing, about the "shell shocked" white chics, England was emerging from was the social and sexual constrictions of the Victorian era and women were just breaking loose in "Swinging England".
@wamediaonline Thanks for that! Another Blues musician I saw on Broadway in San Francisco was Jimmy Witherspoon, check his version of One Scotch,One Bourbon,One Beer!
yes this is what the original sounds like if my ears had an amazing one night stand raw and didn't catch any std's this is what it would it sound like :)
not all germans are nazis mattibelg you nasty peace of cuss i am part german and american and jewish! do you think i am a dirty filithy nazi piece of cow flop? nazis are not people they are things!!!!
i cant believe people are arguing about nazis, germans, americans, nukes and so on....... just appreciate the music that john lee hooker has created.....
well first of all, you stated the "obvious" because you let those underlying stereotypical chords that have been drilled into our heads speak out. and apparently 4 people thought that your "joke" was funny. but personally, i didn't. also, I'm glad you know what "flagellate" and "masochist" mean. how fortunate of you to come across someone as perfect as me to get the chance to use them in a sentence. lastly, 100 years from now for all we know, history many look upon us like it looks upon germany

what's the go with everyone comparing great artists from way back to justin beiber... there is no comparison, so if your looking for validation from people you don't know then apply for a job as a paramedic but don't write these lame comments on youtube for a cheap thumb's up!
@mattibleq And you are a small-minded, ignorant twat. This video was filmed during the Civil Rights era of America, when there was still a LOT of racial tension in America, and when the majority of the country was still segregated. Only a very small percentage of the population today has that mindset. Yes, this country has had it's issues with race, but to call a country as a whole racist due to the content of one video made in the 40's/50's- am I the only one who sees the irony in that?
@mattibelg John Lee Hooker was American, he is black, and star of the show in this video surrounded by white people loving his music, that doesn't seem like racism to me, and even if it is a white club, doesn't seem to be bothering John, I never hear people complaining that there are no whites in black clubs, nobody thinks that THEY are racist. I think that neighborhoods back then tended to be mainly black or mainly white, so clubs would have a HUGE bias to the colour of the people living nearby
@beeroosterm don't be an asshole, his country's actions in the past shouldn't determine your attitude towards him. although it is true, the germans are a proud and ruthless race in their general conduct, americans are, too. both of your countries have suffered, and in beerosterm's case, are suffering, severe oppression and misguidance, granted, this happens more discretely in the us
@beeroosterm probably because you're an idiot......... we basically wiped out the native americans to get this land. we kill innocent man women and children in arab nations. we are the only nation stupid enough to actually use nuclear weapons. but as an american, am i responsible for any of that? no. do i agree with any of that? no. so why are you trying to put the weight of german actions on one particular german almost 70 years in the future.
@5ubstance93 Lighten up, Francis. All I stated was the obvious; I didn't attempt to blame the world's problems on a lone German. Now why don't you go stand in the corner and flagellate yourself like a good masochist? And it wasn't a stupid idea to nuke the Japanese - but that's a different argument...
@beeroosterm You think that the most popular european opinion about you guys does not match that one from G'Germans? Now I am getting that funny feeling.
@beeroosterm Lol. That makes sense. I guess, the more you use the word "cock", the more right you get. What made you think that I am german by the way? The fact that I disagree more with you than with a German guy? That makes even more sense...
@pafotein What gives you the idea I think you're German? Since YouTube now hides the poster's country of origin, I have no idea how to be specifically offensive to any given person. That said, Germans are awfully good at following rules...
@mattibelg And yet here you are. You aren't listening to a German musician from that famous German genre of music called, on that famous website Youtube.de, are you?
@mattibelg And yet here you are. You aren't listening to a German musician from that famous German genre of music called Blues, on that famous website Youtube.de, are you?
@mattibelg you are correct man. blacks were often excluded from clubs, even though an all black band was playin' ! Miles Davis was chillin' outside between sets at an exclusively white club in manhattan when two drunk white cops beat him up for being in the wrong hood. Miles went back inside and spewed blood and broken teeth through his horn on his last set!
Amo a John Lee Hooker y gracias a Dios que lo pude escuchar antes de morir porque es fantastico...eres un ser maravilloso y un artista indiscutible numero uno...tu voz es un tranquilizante potente para mí y tu guitarra hace aflorar todos mis sentimientos que se combinan entre risas y llanto...te amo... I love Forever.
NOTHING like GREAT Blues; "The Blues had a Baby and They called it Rock and Roll.".......Yeah, I AM a Rocker. But you MUST give 'Credit', (That's putting VERY Mildly.), Where Credit is DUE !!!
@Viimane I read that a British group called "The Groundhogs" backed John Lee during his '64 UK tour. Not sure what year this is - maybe 64 or maybe a couple years later - but it looks like an British band. Lots of the blues guys picked up a British band to play their European dates back then. Rockers too - Jerry Lee Lewis recorded the awesome Live at the Star Club album with some young Brits backing him. Chuck Rainey's awesome though! BTW, check "Rosetta West -Underground" for raw blues
@tanukitejon Man, NOT to worry ! You're comment PROVES your COOL. Plenty of Venues that STILL play 'the Good Stuff'. As far as 'Walking around" goes; DAMN, there's ALL kind of BS we have to deal with nowadays. But we CAN 'compensate' by CHOOSING what we PERSONALLY listen to. BTW, I AM one of the 'Lucky Ones'. Born in 1952 and began REALLY listening at the ripe old age of 4..........;-)
@Ramusiewicz I'm with you, Ram, born in 1955, was 7 when I first heard "He's a Rebel", by the Crystals. Then came "Da Doo Ron Ron"...and I never looked back. A lot of trash that they call music out there today. Glad I came up when I did....Spector & Motown, and a whole shitload of Blues for this old Chicago Boy, YEAH!!!!
@MACJO63 Those were VERY Cool Tunes; i.e. "He's a Rebel" & Da Doo Ron Ron" ! PLUS Spector & Motown; Man, I STILL Have ALL my 'Stuff' that Get's Played ALL the Time. Gotta say I'm Definitely Envious of Your being a "Chicago Boy" and having Been around THERE back then. I'm Born & Bred from Boston, Still Here, and Worked 'The Scene' during "The Boston Rock Explosion". Also, quite a Few VERY Good Blues Artists here. Although NOBODY that touches The Chicago Fathers......
@tanukitejon Look at it this way, were you born when this came out you would see how far we've fallen. Blues ain't nothing but the music of good men and women facing bad times. That's why it always fits.
@tanukitejon If you want music like this, you can go on iTunes and download it, or be on youtube, or perhaps make it yourself, yes, i also think the music today sucks. But, that's the evolution of music, there's going to be different kinds in every different generation
@tanukitejon You don't have to you dummy! Listen to this - and whatever else you wan't and stop complainin about JB an LG and the rest. Instead of whining whining about this nobody's like the rest of them bitches on YT under each video of great music doesn't make you original - and pleas realize how so much better the 21'st century is than the early-mid 20'th

This video was filmed during the Civil Rights era of America, when there was still a LOT of racial tension in America, and when the majority of the country was still segregated. Only a very small percentage of the population today has that mindset. Yes, this country has had it's issues with race, but to call a country as a whole racist due to the content of one video made in the 40's/50's- am I the only one who sees the irony in that?

@mattibelg John Lee Hooker was American, he is black, and star of the show in this video surrounded by white people loving his music, that doesn't seem like racism to me, and even if it is a white club, doesn't seem to be bothering John, I never hear people complaining that there are no whites in black clubs, nobody thinks that THEY are racist. I think that neighborhoods back then tended to be mainly black or mainly white, so clubs would have a HUGE bias to the colour of the people living nearby

@beeroosterm don't be an asshole, his country's actions in the past shouldn't determine your attitude towards him. although it is true, the germans are a proud and ruthless race in their general conduct, americans are, too. both of your countries have suffered, and in beerosterm's case, are suffering, severe oppression and misguidance, granted, this happens more discretely in the us

@beeroosterm probably because you're an idiot......... we basically wiped out the native americans to get this land. we kill innocent man women and children in arab nations. we are the only nation stupid enough to actually use nuclear weapons. but as an american, am i responsible for any of that? no. do i agree with any of that? no. so why are you trying to put the weight of german actions on one particular german almost 70 years in the future.

@5ubstance93 Lighten up, Francis. All I stated was the obvious; I didn't attempt to blame the world's problems on a lone German. Now why don't you go stand in the corner and flagellate yourself like a good masochist? And it wasn't a stupid idea to nuke the Japanese - but that's a different argument...

@mattibelg you are correct man. blacks were often excluded from clubs, even though an all black band was playin' ! Miles Davis was chillin' outside between sets at an exclusively white club in manhattan when two drunk white cops beat him up for being in the wrong hood. Miles went back inside and spewed blood and broken teeth through his horn on his last set!

@Viimane I read that a British group called "The Groundhogs" backed John Lee during his '64 UK tour. Not sure what year this is - maybe 64 or maybe a couple years later - but it looks like an British band. Lots of the blues guys picked up a British band to play their European dates back then. Rockers too - Jerry Lee Lewis recorded the awesome Live at the Star Club album with some young Brits backing him. Chuck Rainey's awesome though! BTW, check "Rosetta West -Underground" for raw blues

@tanukitejon Man, NOT to worry ! You're comment PROVES your COOL. Plenty of Venues that STILL play 'the Good Stuff'. As far as 'Walking around" goes; DAMN, there's ALL kind of BS we have to deal with nowadays. But we CAN 'compensate' by CHOOSING what we PERSONALLY listen to. BTW, I AM one of the 'Lucky Ones'. Born in 1952 and began REALLY listening at the ripe old age of 4..........;-)

@Ramusiewicz I'm with you, Ram, born in 1955, was 7 when I first heard "He's a Rebel", by the Crystals. Then came "Da Doo Ron Ron"...and I never looked back. A lot of trash that they call music out there today. Glad I came up when I did....Spector & Motown, and a whole shitload of Blues for this old Chicago Boy, YEAH!!!!
