  • OMG so good to hear this after such a long time..ive bin livin with the bear in a big house full of blues........so so cool or what...

  • @latenightpilgrim Thank you, I used to play in my house full of blues most of these tunes I was choosing for you...

  • I think this song is fucking great!

    But could someone tell me is that Mick Taylor on lead guitar cos it sounds like his style and i know he was with the Bluesbreakers for a bit?

  • Yeah man! Mick plays lead guitar on the bear, I love this song myself...

  • I agree - it's an early concept album and I still love it ! How about "first time alone", pleeease, my disk record has a scratch on it ...

  • I got it too, I'll make it later on

  • Bob The Bear Hite, founder of Canned Heat, had a house in Topanga Canyon that was literally full of blues: -Filled- w/ one of, (if not -the-), the largest blues record collections, every wall, from floor to ceiling. (Together w/ Heat members A.Wilson, H.Vestine, & brother Richard, definitely the largest.) Whenever possible, Bob spent his days & nights playing those records, telling stories about the ones he knew, sometimes even finding one he hadn't heard himself within his huge library.

  • Just great to hear this again after so long- my brother had a load of 45s out of a juke box- you had to put the centre back in to play em, this was our favourite- Long live the blues!!

  • @HEARTHEANGELSVOICES No.On the Road again was based on a song by the old Blues guy Floyd Jones

  • Thank you so much

  • This is great one by John I had this on an 8 TRACK!

  • @latenightpilgrim Gets cooler. This song was written by Mayall for Bob "The Bear" Hite. The guy from Canned Heat (another dope band). 

  • WOW - NEVER KNEW THIS WAS RECORDED IN TREE DAYS. ARE YOU POSITIVE? I COULD HAVE SWORN THIS WAS RECORDED BEFORE TREES INHABITED THE EARTH. ANYWAY I HEAR CANNED HEAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS TUNE. DID THE HEAT RIP MAYALL OFF WITH "ON THE ROAD AGAIN" ?

  • Thanks for the upload, ced! I have this song on vinyl "The last of the British blues", but had never heard this version. I believe I like this version better. Bookmarked.

  • @latenightpilgrim goin back through the years. hear any record you choose. damn right that's cool. must have been a trip, smokin, drinkin wine and listening to grooves with canned heat.
