Live at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, NY - November 16, 2012: Paul Butterfield Revisited. Filmed and edited by Thom Pollard - Eyes Open Productions. Gabriel Butterfield (drums), Jimmy Vivino and Jimmy Eppard (guitar), Steve Guyger (harp and vocals), Pete Levin (keys) and Jim Curtin (bass).
Paul Butterfield Revisited was formed by Gabe Butterfield and Jimmy Vivino to give tribute to the music and life of the late, great Paul Butterfield. Butterfield was a blues harpist and band leader that pioneered the world of blues and rock, forming the first integrated blues band. His Chicago roots and beginnings are legendary, including the true story of pestering Muddy Waters during early performances (at the age of 14!) to let him sit in and play.
Born In Chicago was the first track off the iconic blues release The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. The album was the debut disc by Paul Butterfield, released in 1965 on Elektra Records. In 2003, the album was ranked number 476 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, moving up to number 468 in the revised 2012 list, and also is ranked at #11 on Down Beat magazine's list of the top 50 blues albums.
Born In Chicago is one of the band's signature songs, in the style of electric Chicago blues. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band is a milestone in the history of blues music as one of the first blues albums featuring a white singer, paralleling the British blues movement and anticipating the blues-rock phenomenon of the late 1960s.

Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Jake Issac Glad I could help :D
Why doesn't this amazing version of this amazing song have MILLIONS of likes? Truly fantastic from beginning to end. Excellent singing, guitars! rhythm! and holy smoking harmonica!
I wholeheartedly agree and have asked the same question! THANK YOU
My very first Blues album was Paul Butterfield Blues band w Mike Bloomfield. I was hooked forever. The da Blues man
From either the 1st or 2nd Blues LP I ever owned. I was an avid Blues fan from my first listen. Thank you, Mr. Butterfield. (Props to this live version, but let's be honest. There isn't a man, living or dead, who can fill Paul Butterfield's shoes. They're just too big .....
Right on!
No one compares to Mike Bloomfield either!!!
The hardest thing in playing blues harp is working the lower register....playing the low notes; bending them takes more heft...you gotta pull and push more air. Butter generally favored higher pitched harps but he could work that low end...and his tight, rich vibrato? nobody can do that like he could
I disagree slightly. This song is in the key of A, and Butterfield played a D harp. He rarely played much about the 6 hole on it, and I haven't seen him playing a whole lot of stuff on the F or high G harps. But yes, he sure could work the low bends, especially the blue 3rd, expertly.
This is terrific..love listening to the Blue's..Butterfield is great and great on the harmonica..band is great..
Pete's asleep at wheel lol sounds great guys
My kinda song and harmonica, since I was born in Chicago Illinois,, 😎👍
Right on! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Steve Guyger is a revelation; so good! His great harpwork accentuates how revolutionary Butterfield's style actually was; there was nothing like it before. The drive and energy is incredible.
Totally agree on Steve, amazing musician. Thank you for reaching out!
"There was nothing like it before."??

PBs major influence
And I was born in Chicago....stellar!
Sounds to me like these boys got that Paul Butterfield on steroids thing going on here with those twin lead guitars!!! We need more bands like this nowadays to carry on that blues torch!!! Great job guys!!!
Dude, right on....keep an eye out for an appearance in May 2022 in Woodstock, NY.
@@BackstageMusicChannel well I do believe that I'm a good critic of the Butterfield band revisited and let's not forget the great rhythm section being a professional bass player in the blues scene for 30 odd years... I was exceptionally pleased that Paul Butterfield's son is in there.. I'm a lifelong fan of the Allman Brothers and it's so cool to see the almond bats band going with Barry Oakley Jr man I'm a bass player for 30 years and I've been digging in bands my whole life and Perry Oakley was definitely an influence on me so to see Barry Oakley Jr and Paul Butterfield's son out there doing doing it almost better than Dad did it that's such a treasure I never had offspring of my own and after seeing these guys I sure wish I would have so what I'll say to everyone out there in the music appreciation scene is dig it enjoy it and pick up an instrument and play it if you can cuz it's rewards beyond belief to be a musician
@@dex-o8s This is such a great note, I am going to pass it on to Gabriel right now, he will be truly pleased....he is a softy at heart and these things mean very much to him. Keep your eyes out for a performance by a slightly altered version of Revisited in May of 2022, a gig in the works for Woodstock, NY. Cheers David, thank you....
And let's not forget some fantastic harp plane going on here and great vocals to take this thing over the top!!!
Guyger is the man....he truly brings it.
Still sounds good to me.
Every musician is right on.. just awesome and I have been playing harp for like 55 years and I had to think about Steve... nice technique and kudos to the WHOLE band
Guyger is an absolute beast on the harp. It would be cool to see this band back together for another gig or two. Thanks for watching!
It took me a while to figure out... just a great technique combination
@@BackstageMusicChannel
Damn Thom. They killed this one! Awesome!!!
Nailed it!!!!
Nice job, boys! Great to see Jimmy Vivino out there tearing it up on guitar, and helping keep the music of Paul Butterfield alive (thanks, as well to Gabe Butterfield, of course)!!!
thanks for watching....so glad that you enjoyed it!
Saw Paul and his band at a college concert in the 70s.
James Montgomery was on the bill with him.
A back-bone twisting show.
This is a serious outfit, cooking!!
On gas !
Such a great performance...
okrajoe east west

Real Monsters👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🥁🎤🥃☕☕☕🎭🪄❗
Totally! Super pleased you stopped by!
Thanks for upload, good sound, good music, love it ;-)
Thanks guys! I was a junior in high school 1965 when Butter's first LP came out. I was totally blown away with it and when I got wind of them coming to the San Francisco Bay area to perform I knew I couldn't miss it!
It may have been 1966. I was expecting Sam Lay to be on drums, but he had been replaced by Billy Davenport. Every one else Was there though. Paul, Mike Bloomfield, Elvin Bishop Jerome Arnold. I heard they were playing in the Fillmore district, but back then that was a rough part of town for a lone white boy. So I opted to see them in Berkeley instead. It was some auditorium on the UC campus.
I went by myself. The first thing I remember seeing was this lone Hells Angel standing under a strobe light swinging a motor cycle chain around. Up on stage was the opening act, a local group called The Jefferson Airplane. It was before Grace Slick had joined the band so there was another gal singing with them. I believe she is on their first LP The Jefferson Airplane Takes Off.
Finally Butterfield and the boys filed on stage. What a night! I had never experienced anything like it. Bloomfield and Butterfield trading licks, they blew the roof off that place!
After that East West came out, but I never warmed up to it like I did to Born In Chicago, Shake Your Money Maker, and the other great tracts on that first LP.
What a fantastic story!.....thanks for sharing
Duffy, I had the same experience you had but only at the Fillmore. I was first blown away by the album cover. Then the music inside was coming out the record grooves like gangbusters. When I heard they were coming I was there for the first concert with Steve Miller and Charlie Musselwhite opening. When the Butter band came on I thought I had gone to blues heaven. I was completely taken over by that band. Still am to this day. I was a big Elvis fan, big Beatles fan, but when the Butter band came to SF I had never seen anything like that. The excitement they produced live on stage was just too much to take. It was mesmerizing to say the least. They had the capability to drown all your blues and troubles away and just float in blues and rock and roll heaven.
Consider myself a lucky man to have experienced the Paul Butterfield blues band!
I am sooo jealous. A few years younger, the first Butterfield band I saw, at the Fillmore East was the Big Band, not bad but I wish I could have seen Bloomfield.
I just now saw all these replies! I don't think I was notified originally. Great to see some Butterfield Blues Band fans are still alive and digging their sounds.
I was a big fan of Mike and went to see him play several times. Heard him with the Electric Flag at the Fillmore and I remember one night in the early 70s going to see him play at this small restaurant / bar in the North Beach neighborhood in San Francisco. He was more or less jamming with 2 or 3 other people. Mike and the others were sitting in chairs on a small stage, playing blues and maybe a little jazz. My friend and I had a good table in front. That was the last time I saw Mike Bloomfield.
@@duffysullivan2794 I have another Butter tune by this band on this channel, Get Out Of My Life, Woman. I'd love to hear your thoughts.... Cheers, Thom Pollard
Outstanding!
jimmie vivino was on the the cover of vintage guitar magazine , he is a great guitarist.... tone touch and taste.
Dude, this sounds good for a studio recording, Butterfield edition is the bomb
Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed it!
Woaooooo

Gabe was on fire that night....

Woodstock area Guitarist Power House Jimmy Eppard on the Guitar with Jimmy Vivino also that's Pete Levin on Keys Tony Levin's brother..
Great work guys!!!!!
I’m reading a lot of these comments, and a lot of them are making an inference that the artist in this video is Paul Butterfield. I don’t know exactly who it is but Butterfield only lived to be 33 years old. This was taped in 2012. Do the math. 😂
The drummer in this video is Paul Butterfield's son, Gabriel. He formed this band in tribute to the legend that was his father. Here's a really cool video that I put together with Gabriel that got Paul and his band finally elected into the R&R Hall of Fame: ua-cam.com/video/ejYbylWtGCE/v-deo.htmlsi=p3DOnbBSef32oU_o
nice job!!
Thank you Tony !!
They are a good band...I like the original better but the harp player and guitarist are good
i'll give you their tele # and you can sort them right out personally. I'm sure they are dying for your tutelage!
a note to Gabriel: ı d love to meet you if and when you are around Istanbul pls let me know :)))ı was a close friend of dear Paul in the last 2 years of his life.... :))
🔥🔥🔥🎶👊🏽
This is a great performace, but cheers to the man on the organ ... he's playing so relaxed ... amazing ❤ Who is it?
Pete Levin on keys. His brother is Tony, the bass player. So glad you enjoyed the gig! Thank you
@@BackstageMusicChannel Thanks! I also love the two guitars ... really great!
Man, besides the performance, which is really great, I love the style of the hat of the left guitar player ... it's not a Fedora ... possibly a Gambler? Can someone help out?
this is better than butter... trading 4"s stupendous... the vamp on the 1 chord at the end... off the hook.
and i haven't even mentioned the great harmonica work.
Hell Yeah! Great to hear you like it. Seeing them...filming them...was off the hook personified. What a band. Here they are doing Get Out Of My life Woman, same show: ua-cam.com/video/KTsMBXxQT7I/v-deo.html Peace!
Dude mouth harp is hard to learn how to play
bloomfield the only one to play chicago blues stick to the tune no free styling
With all due respect, Butterfield's son on drums organized the band...
Butterfield's son on drums....Paul himself would have given a standing ovation
nice harp, band is fine, but you just caint improve on perfection
That is for sure!
