Maxwell Street Robert Nighthawk

Whenever I fret about the overload of information in today's world, I just remind myself that seeing Robert Nighthawk in action wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

Whoah Yeah !*#!

Truly fantastic to see this monumental blues-man in action, I've never seen any film of him before. Those slide licks get me every time.

It's a shame that the editors saw fit to chop up the performance though, as in reality this number is 4 minutes and 58 seconds long. If you listen carefully you can hear where the edits are... Perhaps the most obvious splicing can be heard in the slide break at the end which has a large chunk missing in the middle.

this is so absolutely fantastic. Robert Nighthawk has the most amazing tone and vibe.Been listening to this record for years and had no idea there was any video. jeez I love this.

Spine tingling licks and original dirty dancing at 1:35 Yep, '64 looked like a better year than most!

So that's what a block party is. Robert Nighthawk sends shivers down your spine.

This says it all, essential blues great!

Now that's a block party. 5*****

Amazing footage, so genuine, pure blues feeling.

I love this video, his guitar tone is so fat and raw.

HELL YEA!!!!!
