Buddy Guy Band - Hootchie Coochie Man

[ctyuang]

The weirdest thing in this video is the fat dude stood behind the stage... WTF?

[concorde9615]

I don't know about his stage presence....he looks a bit afflicted at times. He's one hell of a guitarist though! Awesome!

[Mercmad]

@concorde9615 i have seen him play live and he's great,especially when strolls into the crowd with his 40 foot lead ( no transmitters back then) and cranks it up.

[DarkeningSkies1]

NOBODY ever ripped classic electric Chicago blues like Buddy- there are more technically "correct", even faster... but nobody could touch Buddy at this stuff. Still can't.

[5150mario]

This footage is the best, I believe his brother's are in the group at this time.

[macbuckets30]

Buddys' #1 as far as BLUES playing .. stevie ray vaughns at #2 and jimi at #3 in MY opinion...but overall its a 3way tie between jimi,stevie and eddie

[brucefan181]

what about Duane?

[Silenz1oStampa]

look at the fukkin hippies

[remo5BCV]

This video should have a million of views.

[iceman10129]

The rhythm guitarist was sure feeling it

[PageandPlant4Life]

He deff. thought he was cool.

[MilesTrane21]

As fantastic as Hendrix was at straight-up blues playing, Buddy was better, but Hendrix did other things I've never heard Buddy try like "Machine Gun", "1983 (A Mermaid I Should Be)", "Little Wing", "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)" and the ever famous Star-Spangled Banner/Purple Haze/Woodstock Improvisation/Villanova Junction medley. The bottom line is that they were both fantastic but had different strengths.

[JimmyGuitarist]

Hendrix WAS a straight up bluesman. Just because he come around when all the acid trips and whatever, hes never thought of as one. ''Machine Gun'' was a straight from the delta man. I know what you mean when you say about ''1983...'', but even when it wasn't the blues with Jimi, it still was to me.

If you had put Jimi in Chicago in the 60's, he'd be counted as one of the greatest ''bluesmen''

[MilesTrane21]

Machine Gun is a blues, but is not a standard one in any way. I can see what you mean if you mean the feelings evoked by it of despair, sadness and anger were similar to the delta, but musically, it was much different from earlier blues. It is mainly a blues, but it included those haunting imitations of bombs and gunfire as well as use of an asian-styled melody near the end. It's a masterpiece, but not what I would call a straight-up blues like "Stormy Monday" and "Hoochie Coochie Man".

[JimmyGuitarist]

Well listen to some John Lee Hooker.

And I know how you mean, but in a sense, thats what Jimi wanted to do - create the blues of today.

[petronovich30]

jimi was from another planet, you're forgetting that vital fact

[niekjeh]

i think that Jimmy has buddy on his ipod in heaven lol

[kdw456]

the real original

[tomitstube]

it all started with Buddy, they all owe him royalties, Jimi, Clapton, Page, Plant, Marriott, Jagger, Stewart etc, etc. he's the best, the original.

[resoblues]

Buddy was Jimi before Jimi was Jimi. Does that sound right???

[BIGal0811]

right on the money man i agree with ya buddy's the man

[resoblues]

Too bad Hendrix had to go so soon. Buddy Guy is a first class act and beyond that today.

[murphinitis]

no no jimmy was buddy after buddy was buddy

[coolcustomer31]

jimi was buddy on acid

[NotSoUniversal]

yeah, i think thats much more accurate, hahaha

[itnow]

souds wrong to me : Buddy was before Jimi but Jimi went much higher...listen to 1970 Jimi stuff...he is no more playing electric guitar, he's taking u in a cosmic storm

[rayata]

nobody go higher than buddy guy at blues bro, im sorry buddy is the blues god

[Kenitsa]

Look what's you try to say...One guy was a cornerstone figure of the blues (Willie Dixon), but BG doing it's better coz Willie Dixon was only composer but no great guitar player and singer. May be you right... But blues another one thing - it's a bit of the heart or it's a true, like Willie Dixon said...Who was the first hen or eggs?

[chwsf187]

This guy is an absolute monster on stage.

[Kenitsa]

This "shit" Jimi Hendrix got from Willie Dixon, my friend. By the way, who must to know it? You - american or I - russian?

[taildragger51]

Kenitsa; Infact Buddy got his stage act from watching Eddie *"Guitar Slim" Jones back in 1950.(he admits it) Guitar Slim would use his teeth, play behind his back, climb on tables and hang from rafters whilst still playing and he used a 100 ft guitar lead and walk offstage into the audience. But not taking anything away from Buddy. In 1970 he was FEROCIOUS! And a far nicer person than Guitar Slim. (**there were others apart from Slim who did all those gimmicks)

[taildragger51]

Kenitsa; O.K. Yes, most know that Willie Dixon wrote most famous Blues songs but this channel is concerning Buddy Guy!( his style & influences) Willie was a great guy but even he couldn't perform his own songs in such a incendiary manner as Jimi or B.G.

[bigbash71]

now i know where jimmy got his shit from

[SoundOfUnitedLove]

Damn!

[RoyBuchanan1of3best]

This is one of the manny reasons why Buddy is my absolute no1.
