[chrisjowoo83]

This bitch goes hard ...

[zuletadic]

Anyone have this video in 720p ? Great amazing perfomance !

Greetings from Serbia

[ladycharsw]

I love Beau Joceau, and I have a cd of him and others playing , 1995, I think

[fatbear711]

Miss him so much!

[genuine7]

I first caught Beau Jocque at the Jazz and Heritage Festival many years ago. He was on the Fais Do-Do stage. Needless to say, he was absolutey a shop stopper...and still takes my breath away. As the years went by, he became one of the headliners playing on either of the main stages. So good, so f---ing good.

[Dieudonne357]

RIP Le Roi de Zydeco!!!!!!

[bigdaddydunn]

Love this song. I miss the big guy. He was great

[BlindWillieJackson]

I actually was able to see Beau Jocque & the Hi-Rollers live.  He came to Dallas & played at The Lone Star Ballroom. The promoter must have sucked. It was a Saturday night & only ten people showed up (including me & my girlfriend). The band kind of laughed it off & played an incredible set, anyway. All ten of us were on the dance floor. . After the show the party moved backstage. . . to which we were included. We got tore up, indeed! Damn, I miss him!

[NEILAALIEN]

That was/is awesome! 

[BlackLordByron]

THIS IS THE MAN!!!!

[mac36in]

The man continues to cause me to exceed the posted speed limit. Never get enough of the Hi Rollers

[rlpastor]

Does anyone know if he released any live DVDs or anything?

[zydecodave1]

@rlpastor There is a dvd called "The Kingdom of Zydeco" by Robert Mugge. It is being delayed by Acorn Media. Email them and tell them you want it!! I sure as hell do.

[slovacek59]

THANK YOU Louisiana! And your food is A-1, too

[alexmooreshake]

n'awlins

[damonika09]

I know if he was still alive he'd be winning the Zydeco Grammy! R.I.P. Beau Jocque!

[zydecodave1]

Yeah you right!!!!!!

[BeReal65]

G-G-G-Get It Beau Jocque. Turning on another generation to your music. THis beat lasts forever! Do That Again!

[MoscowMoo]

My husband and I used to go to Rock 'N Bowl in NO to see him when we were dating in the '96-'98 timeframe. He played the second floor, and the entire dance floor literally moved up and down in time to the music and dancing. No exaggeration. Ray-Ray on g, Skeetah on drums, Chuckie on bass. Memories I'll never forget. Now Beau Jocques helps me clean house. Best cleaning album is "Git It Beau Jocques." Here's to you Monsieur Espree . . . .

[zydecodave1]

That's right. The floor would bounce up and down, and the building would move in and out when Beau Jocque played the Rock N' Bowl. The music and dancing would get so intense, I used to get goose bumps and shivers up and down my spine. Beau Jocque could put you in a zydeco trance. If there was any band I could see tonight, it would be Beau Jocque and the Hi Rollers!! I'm not lyin'.

[wingnutwally]

I sure wish I could have had a chance to see him.

You guys are right, nobody will beat Beau. One of a kind.

Great band!!

[texasyankee44]

Solid !

[dbd1353]

Azdak they did a show in SF w/the same lineup.Steve Riley sounded ok, nice crowd, Beau was in the middle, and packed it so tight people literally couldn't dance.But did anyway..When Marcia came on, half of us left..No dis on her, but most of us said to the astounded management that we already came for the headliner..They couldn't believe that we wouldn't stay for Marcia..was quite a moment..Just one of many..Beau was the best as far as I'm concerned..NO dis on anyone..Andre is my fave now.

[thaiamer]

Look at my uncle Chuck Bush play that Bass !!

[sfp1954]

I need a little help. I used to watch a real short clip of Beau Jocque playing at I think it was Giltons or something like that. It starts off with a train going by then you go into the club. I can't find this clip if you know let us know. Thanks

[marksydow]

Sorry, I can't help with this one.

[DevaJones03]

@sfp1954 if you type in beau jocque live at giltons you'll find the video you're lookin for

[pvtlee00]

@sfp1954

Beau Jocque Live at Gilton's

[zaunbrechers]

@sfp1954 That clip is from a documentary called 'Louisiana Blues', or at least I think that is the name.

[maryvrankulj]

@sfp1954 It's called "Beau Jocque Live at Gilton's" by zydecodave1 still avaliable on You Tube!

[kathyincleveland]

@sfp1954 You're looking for 'Live at Gilton's'. See your post was 1 yr ago so you may have found it already ;-D but it's on you tube.

[kathyincleveland]

@sfp1954 You're looking for 'Live at Gilton's'. See your post was 1 yr ago so you may have found it already ;-D but it's on you tube.

[wingnutwally]

Much too short a life for such an artist!

[meanrob06]

awsome party music

[ladydzydeco]

Beau is the man. His music was outside.

Nice person and good band. Simiar sound of music next to him is Lady D and the Zydeco Tornadoes.  But Beau is the Best. I miss that band.

[GMCETC]

Laissez le bon rouleau de temps Beau Jocque .

[zydecodave1]

It was exactly 10 years ago today that we lost the great Beau Jocque, and the world has not been the same since.

[Azdak6]

It's great that there are videos to help keep the man alive. I saw Beau Jocque in Chicago in 1995 just a few days after he had his first heart attack. He was so tall, they had to turn the stage lights off in this small bar because the hot lights were too close to his head. He did a show with Steve Riley and Marcia Ball. $20 for the ticket--the memories are priceless. I miss him every time I listen to zydeco music.

[genuine7]

I first saw Beau Jocque at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival in the early 90's. He was totally amazing, but had sort of a minor spot, not on either of the main stages. As the years went by, his stature grew and soon he was playing in a prime spot on a main stage. He never ceased to blow my mind. I was going to Nawlins every year for the fest and then one year Beau Jocque was nowhere to be found. I was bewildered until I learned of his demise. I miss him.

[godukeuniversity]

Thanks to Beau J. , his music helps me keep my house clean. You can't help but move to this stuff!! He's my favorite.

[BeReal65]

Beau vs. Boozoo!!! Late nights at the Rockin' Bowl! Peace!

[zydecodave1]

I was there a number of times for Beau vs. Boozoo. I never missed Beau at the Rock N' Bowl during Jazzfest. It was always the highlight of Jazzfest for me!! I'll never forget those nights, etched in my mind forever.

[Bayoudancer]

All's I got to say is grand Merci Beaucoup for posting this video!

This is the best video I've seen of Beau, ever. Unfortunately, Beau passed before I got to see him live. How sad for everyone, and especially for my own self. You're in my soul Mr. Espree, I hope I represent...

[MyriamFrench]

This is my cousin !

Andrus Espree RIP

[Nitrite4U]

[Donijr]

I love him and his music and thank you for sharing this video with all of us I will watch it over and over

[chemochinga]

I first saw this man and his music on the David Letterman Show. It blew my mind!!!!!!!!!!!

[dprej52]

There's no other like him! He's greatly missed, but, his music will live on and never be forgotten.

[MatthewPfeifle]

YES! I love this tune.

[50377016]

Nothing like him. Crawfish festival Breaux Bridge that's all i have to say.

[wisewomen28]

His music is and will forever be the best around.

[arczydeco]

When I was 16 I remember seeing Beau at the Johnny Nash area in Houston,Tx. He had a four door Ford dually with a dual exhaust. Everyone watched him drive up, and it was a feeling I never will forget...I hope that some day his sons will take over his legacy.

[dewittmf]

The tears were indeed flowing. How I miss this guy. Who knows what more great music he would have made? He was just getting started...

[damonika09]

Great man. I can't believe it's been almost ten years aleady. I know there will be a big tribute around the Louisiana area on September 10, 2009.

[senorv6]

I'm the guitarist for a Zydeco band that plays alot of Beau Jocque around the Dallas TX area. The name of the band is Jay-B & The Zydeco Posse. Ya'll check us out when you get a chance! You right!

[the11rhino22]
