This is from the American Folk Blues Festival, 1967 European tour.
The film footage was taped for a Danish tv-channel, 11 October 1967. The complete footage also includes: Skip James, Son House, Bukka White, Hound Dog Taylor, Koko Taylor, Little Walter and Otis Rush. All videos can be found on youtube.
But, you know,.. Whatever,.

To all you guys who complain that you were born too late to see Sonny & Brownie play: You're right. No video comes close to capturing the energy and the music they made. I saw them about 1/2 dozen times in the 70s. Incredible and unforgetable!!!

@terrybeaton Sonny is playin harp Brownie is on guitar
You have a lot of growing up to do lad. It's cool to have your hero's, I loved Stevie too, saw him 5 or 6 times live. But SRV was SRV because of cats like this. I've watched your video, not bad for a beginner, but you will live to be 100 before you can play an acoustic guitar and sing like Brownie. Listen and learn child.....but keep jammin.

WTFFFFFFFFF, Who, please, anyone, name me anyone who can play that Harp like Mr. Sonny? I know there's a lot of talented guys/girls out there with this instrument, but his style- I find- is tooooo tough to copy. It's complicated and SMOOTH, I try and copy and it's UNATURAL
