Jimmy Johnson Blues Band 1981- As the years go passing by

Well. As the year goes passing by. Found this on the web. Dont really know where it was shot and who the guys in his band are. Please let me know if you know. I absolutely love Jimmy Jonhson. So underrated.

Edit: Kinda looks like Odie Payne on drums right? And also I know that the video isnt complete but thats Life.

just now finding this (thanks Tony!) - crap, that is making me want to wake up the hood and crank my rig!

That's Big Moose on piano, Willie James Lyons on second guitar, Odie Payne on drums, Big Mojo Elem on bass. That's from the 1980 Chicago Blues Festival European tour.

Bar Room Preacher has to be one of my top 10 blues albums. I met Jimmy and Larry Exum at the Yale sometime in '88. Between sets they would come sit down Jimmy and Larry were both real nice guys!!! Jimmy smoked Moors, R.I.P. Larry!!!

One of my all time favorites. I saw Jimmy and the band in 1998 in Turin, N.Y. at a festival at Mt. Snow. Robert Lockwood Jr. also played. After the show I went over and talked with Mr. Johnson for like 15-20 minutes. What a nice man he is. So under rated as a player. I really enjoy him, he is a unique player and can tell it is him from the opening notes.

Whoever posted this video- thank you very much. I've seen so many Jimmy Johnson shows, never once disappointed. His talent as a musician is so vast. If you have more songs, please post them! Thank you.

Amazing clip! I saw Jimmy in a bar in Chicago in about April 1981 and he was absolutely fantasic. The lineup of his band was different to that in this video. Although the bar was on the northside of the city it had a southside feel to it.
