  • Where and WHEN was this film made , please ?

  • Believe it was 78' or 79' on Chicago's Northside. It was the grand opening of Elsewhere's 2nd bar (this 3 day event provided alot of good musicians jamming).

  • Oh wow... I've never seen footage of my great grandpa Big John. Thanks for posting!

  • This 2nd version of Elsewhere was in the 3100 block of N. Clark St., a bit below Belmont. I think it was probably '76 or maybe '77, I don't recall exactly. It was the start of many great nights at that location, that then later moved, and today is known as "Blues" on N. Halsted St. I was on bass in this video, keeping out of the way!

  • Great stuff Gerree! I saw many great gigs at both Elsewhere's(and the 1st Kingston Mines) during my dozens of blues excursions to Chicago from my hometown of Milwaukee during the mid/late 70s.I do believe that Bill who did the bookings at EW now is the owner of Bill's Blues in Evanston.

  • I booked this guy in Liverpool when he toured Europe n the mid-70's. Never thought I'd see him again. Great posting!

  • its so sad you can almost not find material of this guy

  • live on Big John!

  • elsewhere's was so great...I saw four act on a Saturday nite 1976, including Wrencher....due to jive talk he came over to detroit in 77 to play

    with his old pal Babyboy Warren,out on 7 mile.

  • else wheres was so great...I saw 4 acts on a sat nite...including Wrencher....he later came over to Detroit and played with his old pal Baby Boy Warren 1977 I think. Next door I saw Homesick James....very strange.
