Wow. What a ''passing of the torch'' moment. And look now how many blues genres Buddy seems to have lived thru. He touched the originals and he's still with us today.
as if rock isn't already blues and making a good living is a bad thing. buddy guy is the best! aware of his musical ancestors and descendants, not inhibited about the past or apprehensive of the future -- he's got the big picture which includes his garden, home cooking, rock'n'roll and a decent bank account. his music has always bridged bb king, james brown and jimi hendrix. he has the utmost of musical integrity and we are lucky to have him as an elder statesman of the blues. Viva Buddy Guy, baby!!
Brian, rock isn't blues to me. It's an insult to the blues to water it down like that. The two don't intersect at all. Blues' history based on people of color and their struggles. Rock is essentially showing off to get laid. One is authentic, one is not. The commericalized crap has trashed the realness and authenticy of blues to appeal to the rock crowd. Just look at the many of the embarrassing blues festivals all over country. Many of them rock wanker fests. And Buddy in his desire for gold bling bling has gone right after it. What a waste of a talent to pander to the rock crowd. He's become an insult to Son House, speaking straight and honest. The brother done sold out to the bling bling NOT 'the big picture.' His big picture is profiting of people like you. Meanwhile he pisses on the depth, honesty and specialness of the blues. Make money, fine. Just don't try to sell yourself as blues when you've gone after SRV schmucks.
@Stephanie Sandlin: "Blues' history based on people of color and their struggles." Spoken like a true musical ignoramus. Charley Patton, the FATHER of Mississippi Delta blues was of mixed race ancestry; white, black, and American Indian. Quit trying to take ownership of everything. As Longfellow said "Music is the universal language of mankind." "Just look at the many of the embarrassing blues festivals all over the country." The only thing "embarrassing" is how dumbed down modern black "music" has become. You have an entire generation of morons that think "rap", a format in which virtually no one can either (a) sing or (b) play an instrument (much less write lyrics beyond a 3rd grade level), constitutes "music". Fortunately, the white people have almost single-handedly kept the blues (and jazz) alive.
Great moment in blues preserved forever. What a combination, these two. And you can't beat Son House's voice. By the way this song is "How to Treat a Man".
Testify Son's voice was so amazing that people still talk about it to this day. Ronnie Van Zant and Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd so admired him that they wrote "Swamp Music" as their own personal direct tribute to his singing.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns Son House was idolized by Johnny Winter. Johnny spoke of Son's influence on him for years. I still cannot hear Son in Johnny's playing but for sure in his vocals!
@@brianwells4507 Johnny could have done worse than to emulate Son. That voice alone evokes images of what it must have been like living his hardscrabble life when he was still young and living in Mississippi.
I'm a huge Son House fan and blues purist, and I absolutely love this video. I take his backing more like a guy playing with his elderly father. Son didn't have the same musical chops he did like when he was in his 40's on the Library of Congress recordings. So Buddy is giving him a solid backing, giving Son the freedom to wail like he's used to. You can hear it on his old recordings with a band, he's the singer. He sounds right at home when he's playing with his boys. On the revival recordings he sounds great when playing with someone else as well, and this is no different.
I saw Son play twice in the 60s. The first time as I recall he played well, but the second time, which was probably in 68 he wasn't playing nearly so well - though his voice was still amazing.
Son's voice was a powerful as ever on his revival recordings, but you're right that he wasn't nearly as fast as he was on the LOC and Paramount recordings from back in his prime, especially compared to the likes of "Preachin' the Blues" or "My Black Mama."
the sound quality is just perfect. You have no idea how awesome it is to be able to hear this, in whatever condition. Well, yes, I guess you know how awesome it is :-)))) When I was a kid, it took us months to get our hands on stuff like that. You had to mail order LPs !!! So, in my old age, just clicking away on youtube for stuff I missed 50 years ago is bliss. Thanks for uploading this gem.
This is where the Delta meets Chicago, kind of a crossroads in music itself, and it's one of those rare incredible moments that we should be thankful that this was captured on video! Booyah!!
Buddy Guy was the “little brother” to all of the OG blues musicians from way back in the day. Buddy Guy and Taj Mahal are the last two true bluesmen, and it’s so bittersweet to realize that. Those two legends are the last link to such an important part of this country’s musical heritage. ❤
Ah! Great music. Hear the souls of old black Delts players scream. I love the way the two trade off lead and rythm like they been playing together for years.
The force in this song is indescribable. Son house is a power like no other. Buddy's fills are so good too. But, son house. No-one like him. Beyond emotional.
this is an awsome find, The GREAT Son House and Buddy Guy. The cats could turn a boy into a man. They had alot of respect, passion and LOVE for their craft and the craft of making music.
Son House is the blues singer everyone is trying to be as good as. The emotional depth he sang with is still the measure for blues singers, even the most recent ones.
The magic of Son House is the guitar is an accompaniment. Son himself is the star of his songs, he, his voice, his expression. The space between those notes. When people like Guy make it about guitar wanking the magic of what Son House was and what he did, will forever be out of their reach.
I don't usually mention this, but I would really like someone who disliked this video to actually explain. From where I sit, the only thing better than one song with Son House and Buddy Guy would be two songs with Son House and Buddy guy, but history gives us what it gives us and this little nugget is awesome.
I couldn't dislike the video because, hey it's Son House. However, Buddy Guy is stepping all over Son House with his noodling and jamming in of notes. Son House' style is one of space so he can project his emotion and feeling over his guitar rhythm. Guy denies House that and competes with him for space. It's disrespectful and to me and reaffirms some of the core reasons why I don't like Guy - he's a really a rock guy and jams notes in like a guitar wanker. The one place I'd expect him to GET to not jam and cram notes - playing with Son House - he did it.
I wish I could have my whole heart on my hand❤️ ooOOh yeah, son house sounds like he was feeling his heart on his hands this is what I call Delta Blues
I'm a guitar player with a born blues in me. But I feel I'm unworthy to even comment on this video. Son House is one of the founders of American blues music. Buddy Guy carries the torch , but just a student of the master.
Whoa, this is intense. They both do an amazing job at blending, and Son is spellbinding. Their styles are so different, and just sticking two great people together doesn't necessarily work on this level. This surely does though. Really amazing.
Thanks so much for uploading this, it's absolutely incredible. I have just listened to it about 8 times in a row covered with goosebumps, choking back the tears. Wow. I can't hardly stand it it's so good.
It would be one of those moments in history impossible to replicate, even if you had the entire performance captured on film. We know that people got to actually see them both together in the 1930s and 1940s, and it must have been simply incredible.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns that would have been pretty hard after Patton died in 1934. Patton was the top man and biggest earner in the Blues circuit in Mississippi in the 20s and 30s. House was not
Great footage! I did not know they ever played together.Sounds really good(talking not about the audio quality). B.Guy played about that time with Lonnie Johnson in Toronto - would be interesting to find some audio or even video clip of that combination
Vocals so powerful he had the mic a foot away from his mouth and he still sounds like this...he's not the greatest guitar player but his voice more than compensates... I'm sure eventually a movie will about this man will get an Oscar nomination
Son House (along with Robert Johnson) were Muddy’s main musical influences. I never knew for certain that Buddy Guy actually got to play with Son House, this is amazing.
Wow. What a ''passing of the torch'' moment. And look now how many blues genres Buddy seems to have lived thru. He touched the originals and he's still with us today.
Too bad Buddy now is more interested in money and appealing to money than keeping it authentic. His modern stuff sounds like rock. It's truly sad.
as if rock isn't already blues and making a good living is a bad thing. buddy guy is the best! aware of his musical ancestors and descendants, not inhibited about the past or apprehensive of the future -- he's got the big picture which includes his garden, home cooking, rock'n'roll and a decent bank account. his music has always bridged bb king, james brown and jimi hendrix. he has the utmost of musical integrity and we are lucky to have him as an elder statesman of the blues.

And now Buddy Guy is passing the torch to Kingfish. See their videos now.
This is important history kiddies. pay attention.

actually, i would say i want more of this show

I agree. For the video and for House, wonderful to see the man in full actions. Buddy Guy, I'll pass. Too much of rock cat at heart.
Son's voice was a powerful as ever on his revival recordings, but you're right that he wasn't nearly as fast as he was on the LOC and Paramount recordings from back in his prime, especially compared to the likes of "Preachin' the Blues" or "My Black Mama."
I have to confess it again: This Is Fantastic! This is the Blues.
Very few human moments ever get captured like this.
look at the awe in buddy's face. son house is musical essence personified
the sound quality is just perfect. You have no idea how awesome it is to be able to hear this, in whatever condition. Well, yes, I guess you know how awesome it is :-))))

OH FUCKIN YES!!!
Amen, baby!
Cody Moraga I still can't believe this even exists wow
Cody Moraga Amen! Say it again, Amen!
Buddy from louisiana
My right ear loves this.
mono recording.
lol
Lol yeah
So mine 😂

So god dam good it hurts.....Young Buddy and Son House just killing the slide. Gives me chills man
Oh my my ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤that bluesy sound❤✌
it doesn't get any more real than this! if this doesn't stir something up inside of you, you need to do some soul searching. goddamn SON!
Not sorry about the audio quality. Happy that this film and audio exists at all. My respect to Son House and Buddy Guy. Son, may you rest in peace.
Sound quality is perfect for this kinda performance.
This is perfect the way it is. This is gold!
This is what I call Blues, still listening on 2020 and I'll til the day I stop breathing, u can hear son house pain while singing, oh lord love this
Son House knows his blues; he is preachin' blues!!
I've been listening to blues for a long time and heard this for the first time just now - sends shivers up the back of my neck ....
Ah! Great music. Hear the souls of old black Delts players scream. I love the way the two trade off lead and rythm like they been playing together for years.
Buddy Guy lived in Chicago and grew up in Lousiana and is not a Delta Blue performer
Crazy how far away Son is from the mic, a powerful voice.
The force in this song is indescribable. Son house is a power like no other. Buddy's fills are so good too.
But, son house. No-one like him. Beyond emotional.
What a great vintage recording. Buddy Guy goes way way back and is a force to be reckoned with
That's what makes Mr Buddy Guy legend he played with all the greats who are no longer here and he's still going strong at 80 years young
Two music legends.
And just consider for a moment that Buddy is still active!
Son House is the shit. He is immaculate.
this is an awsome find, The GREAT Son House and Buddy Guy. The cats could turn a boy into a man. They had alot of respect, passion and LOVE for their craft and the craft of making music.
Wow...SON HOUSE does more at the 1:21 second mark than any current singer or wannabe talent of today’s!,,,,,,
PURE TALENT.....AND SOUL
That's my favorite part at 1:21.
BB does that high Octave welp a lot too it’s wonderful, I wonder if he gets it from son house
Best music is that type that comes from heart. RIP Son House.
incredible blues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:22 second mark......That one moment of priceless singing shift, destroyed EVERY CURRENT wannabe Singer of this commercialized ERA.
Wow The Second and Last Generation of the Blues together.
The Blues sure had a short renessance. Thank God we got filmshots like this
This is fantastic.
It´s a fresh invigorant against a disappointment and despair with the current musical scenario.
Son House is the blues singer everyone is trying to be as good as. The emotional depth he sang with is still the measure for blues singers, even the most recent ones.

That man knew the legend Robert Johnson in person
that man is a legend
Taught Robert
Just beautiful. Buddy slipping in some nice riffs, along with great rhythm.
Thanks very much. Wow! Just shoes you...Two unplugged guitars, a bottleneck...and Talent! Both of them.
Amazing!
Awesome, oh man this is very rare, I never even imagined these two got together, I reckon Buddy did a good job too. Thanks for this, I loved it.
I am speechless. I don't deserve to be in the presence of such greatness.
Wow two great legends. Son House in Heaven and Buddy Guy still with us. Greetings all thumbs up.
BADASSNESS! The King and Buddy! Never ever get tired of listening to Son!
Thanks for this amazing post! I hope Buddy knows a tape of this perfromance exists!
Saw Buddy at the Carolina Theater a few weeks ago. He's still going strong.
Thanks for posting ! I love Son ! - I have re-shared this to the Mississippi Delta Blues Community on Google+ :-)
OH MAN THIS MAN SON HOUSE REALLY TOUCH MY HEART,LET THE TEARS ROLL......
Absolutely amazing saw them many times around London they were stunning live why they weren't enormous is a mystery to me
The great Son House, and Buddy Guy part of the time transport machine.
God damn!!!!
Oh, man, to have been on the front row! Just too darn soulful...🔥
The two people who disliked this must not know anything about the blues... this is amazing footage
Forget the audio quality, you're awesome for posting this :)
this is a treasure !!! Love Son....love Buddy. Son is singing up a storm!!
Impresionante!!!

3:03 The Black and The White - Shoes !!!!! This Picture is GOLD !
I wish I could have my whole heart on my hand❤️ ooOOh yeah, son house sounds like he was feeling his heart on his hands this is what I call Delta Blues
a great vid thanks for postin sounds great for the time gives it meat
amazing as ever
TRULY AMAZING
I'm a guitar player with a born blues in me. But I feel I'm unworthy to even comment on this video. Son House is one of the founders of American blues music. Buddy Guy carries the torch , but just a student of the master.
finally the long version. I'm convinced this among the best blues footage ever.
Give me a piece of blues...uauuuuu Beatiful two genious
I am BLOWN AWAY!!!
I agree the audio actually enhances the vibe. . .man this is GREAT! No one can top Eddie House. . the greatest. .
Lordy lordy lordy. Son House is magical and Buddy is, well, Buddy.
As deep as the Blues can ever get - that's Son House!
Thanks for the gift.
Probably my favorite thing ever
Just stunning!
Real music.....

Fantastic post. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for posting.edit the title & credits if you want to. such a good clip, I think you should get yourself a treat.
ty much for sharing this...its amazin'
Imagine you are in a bar and Son House and Charley Patton walk in together, like nothing, and start playing..

@@writerrad They travelled around and played together a lot though, also with Willie Brown.
Yeah, imagine House, Patton, the Howlin Wolf and Robert Johnson in the corner, gods making their craft
Son house always assumes I know everything.....always starts off singin with "you know..."
3:04 "You know.. just like I tell you".
Muhammad Smith Dude that is so BADASS!!!
It's inside you you just gotta be reminded sometimes. Unless of course you don't got the blues
My aunt talks the same way, you know.
He may have Scottish roots.. ye know
Нет дня что бы не слушал и не пытался найти это полностью.
Great footage! I did not know they ever played together.Sounds really good(talking not about the audio quality). B.Guy played about that time with Lonnie Johnson in Toronto - would be interesting to find some audio or even video clip of that combination
Kudos to the camera man, and of course Son House & Buddy Guy🎸😊
if you like Son House, check Luther Allison.. my first ever blues concert and for me simply thé best
perfection, brilliantly awsome.
This is not "My black mama" it's actually "How to treat a man"
2 blues gods
best blues I've ever heard
The best guitar players✨
Yesss!! Maan! LIVERPOOL
Jimi has to be around there somewhere listening, watching and taking notes!
Vocals so powerful he had the mic a foot away from his mouth and he still sounds like this...he's not the greatest guitar player but his voice more than compensates... I'm sure eventually a movie will about this man will get an Oscar nomination
THANK YOU I LOOKED FOR THIS LIKE CRAZY ! :D if you have more from this concert please upload !
Buddy Guy et Son House! incroyable!
wow , this is very cool !
holy shitballs!!!!!!!!
The teacher of the best,....
Son House (along with Robert Johnson) were Muddy’s main musical influences. I never knew for certain that Buddy Guy actually got to play with Son House, this is amazing.
For the record, the title of this song is "How To Treat A Man", from the album Delta Blues And Spirituals.
Haunting
