Fantastic footage!

Here's a verse that he left out. I found it in the Wikipedia discussion of this song and there's an interesting comparison between the Blind Willie Johnson lyrics and the Son House lyrics.
You know Christ had twelve apostles
And three he led away
He said, "Watch with me one hour,
'till I go yonder and pray."

@fudgefucker666 whoops - I meant this for Grisgris.... sigh, oh well

@slownoman You saw Son House? I hate you! And if you tell me you saw Howlin Wolf I'm gonna have to hate you twice. lol. I wish I could have at least seen wolf, hooker, muddy, or house. Probably my fav blues artists. I saw Stevie Ray, close but not the same.

@slownoman I bet I get chills just watching the videos

@GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Pharisee. I saw Son House play live, 1969. The closest thing to the supernatural I've ever seen.

@kjw291 Ah he talks in all of the performance.
You can get this performance off stagevu and it features Bukka White

In the beginning when he's talking his voice gave me a fuzzy feeling for some reason

mississipi straight tie!!!!
@emtiemme It was sarcasm, in the movie "Devil's Got My Woman" Howlin' Wolf starts to clown on Son House and says "Hes only in love with one thing, thats some whiskey" I was just taking that and being sarcastic. Please dont try to assume who I am, or have the audacity to tell me to grow up when your the one calling names Im a huge Son House fan and this is one of my favorite songs that hes done....
