That’s Bob Hite’s brother, Richard, on bass. He took me over to their house in Memphis once and showed me their record collection. They had thousands of blues albums and 78s. They had Robert Johnson Vocalian labels in the original dust sleeve. And they had 78s by other obscure blues artists I can’t even go into! And they had 3 of their gold records on the wall. One was Woodstock. Richard said he was just 15 when he tagg🎸✌🏻😎ed along to Woodstock. Rest in peace, brothers, friends. 💙🎸😎♥️✌🏻
Sister-in-law and I were approached by Bob and his old lady, in my bank’s parking lot as we were heading in to cash my paycheck. I was on crutches due to breaking my leg, but no cast. His old lady had recently undergone brain surgery, and she shouted across the parking lot, hahaha, wanted to know what happened to me. We had a lovely chat, and they invited us to come over to their pad…and listen to their voluminous lp collection. The same LP’s that you enjoyed, I’m sure! It was ‘77-‘78 I believe, and never having seen Canned Heat, I regret to say that my story ends there ;( Hard to imagine with all that is available w/a few keystrokes these days 😮 Ty for sharing your story!!! It makes me so happy to know that you accepted the invite and have a wonderful memory to share and hold close forever!!!😎🤘🌻
Hence the lyrics to John Mayall's song The Bear: I've been living with The Bear In a big house full of blues Going back through the years Hear any record you choose...
@@craigsheppard1065 The first recordings were on wax cylinders, in 1888! A decade later Shellac 78 rpm discs came along, then vinyl, and on it went. The thing that's always fascinated me is that before portable tape recorders there existed wire recorders. If you search on UA-cam for the jazz guitarist Charlie Christian live at Minton's, what you'll find was recorded in 1941 by a fan on his portable steel wire recorder, and it's surprisingly good sound!
Thanks to you Europeans. You always appreciated the blues more than us in the USA, with few exceptions. I’m from the Mississippi Delta. It’s in my DNA. 💙😎
I can still remember back when I was 7 in the early morning hours from Central Texas listening to the Blues from Chicago on the AM raido. I was hooked..
@@Unclemoparman Harvey wasn’t an original member. As I recall, Harvey’s first gig after replacing Henry Vestine was, Woodstock. Talk about a baptism of fire!
I’m 53 and still listen to em! This is the kind of dirty blues that I love and can’t forget my favorite band Z Z Top!!!! The old stuff!!!! Rock on!!!!!
I’m 62 and I listed to lots of great rock blues soul I can remember from 4 years old because of my great Dad! I love this stuff and listened to it young and still!
So do I!!!I am 65 ,so when I'm a kid back in the late 60s my older brothers gave me 3 canned heat albums as part of my intro to the wonderful world of rock and roll. I jammed hard to these albums on my step mom's record player! Wonderful times!
That is exactly what I am doing! I have decided that instead of trying to keep up with all the new music, which I do like much of, I am going back in time and listening to all the great bands that I missed out on when I was younger. It is a great journey thus far!
Wonderful but seeing this I miss Blind Owl. Watching Bob Hite as a kid on stage shuffling from one foot to another was so awesome. RIP to both of those heroes.
My older brother ( 14 years ) always told me Bob Hite was our family somehow..I was 12 & he was a practical joker..He also told me our uncle Robert ( Wood) Hite & his brother rode with the James Gang ( our 1st cousins) & that's a fact...Never know who our peps are really..I'm 66 now & I'm still flying, high above the rest when I listen to this.🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
When it comes to jammin the blues , there is nothing like this anywhere else , enjoy , thanks for a true chestnut !!!!!!!!!! Mr Gatemouth justs seals the deal !!!
j'avais dans les 20 ans jeune pompier PARIS je les avais vus à l'OLYMPIA de Paris j'étais sur les cotés des coulisses de garde en cas d'incendie!! ils étaient MERVEILLEUX la salle était en transe! j'ai 70 ans je tombe sur eux sur UA-cam!!! j'en pleure de bonheur merci CANNED HEAT ET A DOORSOFPERCEPTION!!! et à UA-cam!!!! MERCI!!
Excellent takes me a long way back 70+ old still beating crap outa coffee table 😂 memories mum hollering turn that down! Today's generations got no idea . Go out and buy " livin the blues" love it when fito let's rip 😍 gotta boogie
The dude in the brown top playing that sweet hollow -body guitar is Jimmy Shane, he lived in Santa Barbara when I did. He worked at Semour Duncan pickups and had a local band called The Terraplane Blues Band and they were great,
Fabulous rousing and rowdy version of 'On the Road Again' opener (which the band unfortunately does not capitalise on later). First guitar solo so unconventional in its vision that it goes right through you; the organ solo more conventional but hell does it light the fire. I ended up dancing around the room and I keep coming back.....
We didn't do that. We preferred to dance and bob or heads, while sitting and watch the band play. The finger movements and facial expressions. Back then you heard them on the radio and occasionally on TV So when you seen them live, you watched. You could dance when they were on the radio.
In 1978 I was driving home from the beach. I took Topanga Canyon back to the SanFernando Valley. Whilst in the canyon we decided to stop for a beer at a small bar. Well who do you suppose was on stage playing in that small bar but Canned Heat. Only in So Cal.
My man was a harp player, stand-up bass, bass, and guitar with vocals. Front man to many blues,rock and jazz bands. BEAU KANE. San Francisco Bay Area,1965 to 1996
Clarence Gatemouth Brown. A true Classic. Saw him in '91, Fox theater, Atlanta Blues Festival. Immediately went home and bought his CD, Standing my Ground. Thanks for this!
I would think someone should do a reaction video especially 2nd blues with electric violin, that dude is way ahead of his time as well ss rest of band. They soind so current stand up to any blues sound today
saw these fellows in ‘72 with quicksilver messenger service, and a band just getting their start, from indiana - called reo speedwagon. show went on for hours; i left in exhaustion about 2 a m. long, intricate jams like this were what rock was all about.
Damn! How are all those hippies sitting down? I would have been going ape shit! Guess they didn't realize what they were seeing at the time...incredible show!
Canned Heat were the great LA based blues band in the later 1960s. I can remember talking briefly with guitarist AL Wilson who was really passed off about the atrocious conditions at the Woodstock Festival ( mud, the performers weren't amused ) Tragically he died a year or so later I believe. A sad loss of course.
69 yrs old and still digging on Canned Heat. Saw them at Woodstock '69.
Me too 71 yo, really good
Me too. 72 here. Walking around at the top of the hill digging Canned heat is one of my best Woodstock memories!

I thought Hite looked "spastic!" prancing n gyrating around while playing harp on stage! IMO! Way better version with Blind Al !

7 and loving Blues!!! Wow. I am impressed,❤
This is the canned heat I remember I see another jam it does not remind me of the fabulous canned heat I am 73 years young
No Blind Owl no Larry the Mole no Harvey Mandel

I wore out my 8 track canned heat album❤❤
This is where the song "La Grange" came From. All the way stolen. Just saying.
No Owl, no Canned Heat.
I’m 53 and still listen to em! This is the kind of dirty blues that I love and can’t forget my favorite band Z Z Top!!!! The old stuff!!!! Rock on!!!!!
For sure. Can't beat that Texas backbeat boogie!
So good. Where has all the talent gone to in 2024? 😢
There's still talent about, it just doesn't make mainstream TV or radio anymore like manufactured crap does
AI my dude, Sad
I stole it.
Pushing up daisies except for a few.
Hidden. Buried under a mountain of corporate crap. Good music is still being made today but it mostly never gets heard.
I’m 62 and I listed to lots of great rock blues soul I can remember from 4 years old because of my great Dad! I love this stuff and listened to it young and still!

Right On !!!

69 and first listened to them in 73 the best in rocken blues!
I don't know why they call it the blues, cause it sure makes me happy! That's the whole point!
Get up! Shake it! Dance like no one's watchin'.
Canned heat s blues 💙 makes me happy too
Years later Carlos Santana did a tribute to the blues at Montreux with Clarence and other bluesmen. On dvd.
Really great 👍 🎉

They were so good. 😅❤
these guys always had such a great positive & humble feel to them. been a fan since I was quite small.
One of my favorite bands of all time
First time watching this, superb.
Didn't know they were that good. What a treat back in time.
This is a very great show! Thanks for placing it here. Only seen them before on the Woodstock film. They can boogie!
The KINGS of boogie, most certainly!
Henry Vestine is so hot 🔥 nice surprise to see him here. Playing that iconic black Gibson Les Paul. His tone and phrasing is so great.
Through an old Fender Bassman.
great show took me back in2 my 20s😎👍🕺
Blues are my favorite of all music love any blues old are new.
A mis 69 años, los quiero como el primer día: es un amor musical que perdura hasta el final!! Grandes!!!
Good lord! Wasn't expecting Gatemouth Brown here!
this is wonderful...the audience should be dancing and jumping and singing....this is hot!ll

Just Americans on stage living in the moment together without the interference of big Government driving a racism wedge between them.. Pure class
An amazing performance. Rock N Roll Music is crazy. It's Lawdy Miss Clawdy. They are the best at what they did though.
Please Mr. Nixon......you may be president - but you'll in my world now. The blues. 🎉

What a rare and unexpected treat you have shared. Thank you
one of my greatest gifts, recording Gate in Bogalusa, La. @ Studio In The Country.
Excellent 👌 I recognized Henry Vestine and stopped while drinking a glass of water 😂
Nice! Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown! He's from my hometown of Bogalusa, La.
Es muy cierto?dónde están estos genios de la música en este 2024?👏👏👏👏❤️🇦🇷🧉🧉
If that is Clarence Gatemouth Brown in front I may give it a look see. Hard to without the Blind Owl.
Amazing stuff. I only knew something from Woodstock!
Five wild dudes play at Montreux....Legacy... play the blues.
Mix Canned Heat and ´´Gatemouth´´ = Dynamite
I forgot Bob played a mean harmonica RIP BH🙏

This is incredible. Solid solid gold pressed.
Play going up the country please, liked Al's falsetto kinna voice!
Aww sounds great band is tight👍👍
Wonderful 👌👑
Genuis! to incorporate a violin into a blues run... of course, why not?... it is a string instrument no less. Wow!
A miracle of Big Ag, they put heat in a can.

No blind owl ( dead at 27 ) no canned heat . PERIOD
Stupid, biased remark. This band is tight as hell and everyone is top notch.

Love this.

Very very very goood! thanks for posting!
