This really brings back some great memories. My dad was a set painter in Hollywood and worked on the blues brothers. Some of his work can be seen on the movie, he painted the horse mural on the side of the good ol" boys mobile home, the stained glass windows in the church where Jake does his back flips and parts of the mural on the wall at the end of the film. He went on Location to Chicago for some of the filming. When the film was finished my mom and Dad got invited to the wrap up party where The blues Brothers played for all the guest's. It was great listening to all the stories my Dad would bring home from work, we would always ask him what film or tv show he was working on, some of which were as well as the Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, Psycho 2, The Goonies, and many many more. I only wish we had appreciated it more then, but to us it was just Dad going to work 😊😊😊
AMAZING story...thanks for sharing!
Debbie, can you share your dad´s name? I´ve been doing some Blues Brothers related interviews and I found really difficult to find names from the art department. Even some of the crew don´t remember the people who worked on these murals (nobody knew who did the Ray´s Music Exchange mural, for example), so having some light on that part of the making of the film would be amazing!
Hi glad to share, his name was Dennis Wynne, sadly no longer with us but he loved talking about the work he did and we loved listening. Thanks for the interest.😊
@@debbiedonnellan6571 Thanks for the info! I´ve been doing a passion project about Blues Brothers and had the chance to talk with crew from both films, so it´s always great to know some behind the scenes of these productions.
Love this story
Dan was in Nashville a few years ago, signing bottles of his branded liquor. It’s a real shame that he didn’t make time for his fans at that event, especially since this was the last one.
I went the the Blues Con in 2022 and Dan was mingling with some of the fans, particularly over near the replica cars. 2022 was a lot of fun but I wasn't able to go this year. Real mature crowd and everyone having fun. The lines were real long for merch which was held in one of the prison buildings.
If you remember, in the movie, Elwood sneaks in and then out of the concert, without meeting any fans.
Loved the Blues brothers! These were the best days ever! Jim Belushi is a nice guy you can tell , very genine. Very sad Dan acted that way. I forgot Judy Belushi passed...
I actually made a quick apprearance in here when you got your selfie with Belushi! He’s such a swell guy. He signed my Brickmania Bluesmobile and accepted some art I made for him and Dan. Rock on 🤙🏼
I was 19yrs old when the movie came out! since I'm from chicago, we use to go see some of the shooting locations! RIP to all of the cast who are no longer here but still jamming in heaven. play me some mo Sweet Home Chicago!!!
That’s me at 7:28 and a few other points in the video!! We chatted for a second earlier in the day, thanks for letting me say hi!!!
Cool video, thanks Jordan. Love me Some Blues Brothers. RIP Judy n John.❤😢
Wow! I would have loved this so much. Everything, including the great music! Thank you for taking us along! WOW! WOW! WOW!
Its funny because a friend of mine is a huge BB fan and it’s usually the other way around: Dan being nice and Jim being the opposite. He says Jim has a brother in law that keeps people away from Jim, and Jim typically seems to be the unfriendly one. In his experiences anyways. My friend met Dan in a hotel lobby last year and he said Dan signed for him and took pics with him and his son and talked to him for a while. Couldn’t have been nicer. Maybe something is going on in his personal life right now.
Thank you for all your videos Jordan!
When they would take him off on the golf cart, the woman with him would say "dont worry, hes coming back" which kinda gives people false hope. Like katy said to me, he saw eceryone was waiting to meet him.. have someone tell everyone he doesnt want to meet people today.. would have saved people hours of watching to see where he was all day so they didnt misd their chance, if there would be one.. otherwise, people could have been off doing something else. Would have been a courteous way of blowing off the fans.. instead, after the last time they drove him off, they said "hes going to the stage now. He wont be back". Lots of kids there excited to meet Ray from the Ghostbusters with their toys, and wondering ehy this guy wont say hi
@@DazewithJordantheLion
That troubled me . Huge Aykroyd fan . If it was in public I get the leave guy in peace thing but it’s literally an event celebrating his work and selling his merch . At least do high five drive by on golf cart to crowd ? Or have courtesy to lie and apologize and say you’re sick , or busy etc .
True Judge of Character is how you Treat those you do not have to treat well .
Hope it was just a bad day , if it were me I would fake it for 30 minutes and shake hands , do selfies .
So sad the Blues Brothers convention is shutting down. RIP Judy Belushi. My favorite Jim Belushi is Mr. Destiny. Wonderful video Jordan.
Many thanks Jordan for sharing this very special Blues Brothers Convention. It was a bit disappointing that Dan Aykroyd didn't mix with the crowd - however, his behaviour didn't detract from what looked like a tremendous night. Great Vlog!
Absolutely!!
❤ Dan is shy, btw❤
Jim has a lot of John's spirit, and seems outgoing. Dan has always acted more shy. Who knows how he was feeling that day, too. I couldn't make it, and would also have been disappointed, but watching your video they both gave a pretty good concert performance. That's the best part.
Dan needs to remember his fans. It's ridiculous. Without fans, he wouldn't be anybody.
The movie came out nearly 50 years ago. The man is aging and grieving. Way to be selfish.

I also read Dan is has Aspergers so he has social problems
@@ccmcgee9062
I thought of that also, we have no idea what he's going through in his personal life. Jordan, selfish, no! He is in the moment here, when he has time to reflect, I believe he has a big caring heart, he will get it!!!
@@ccmcgee9062 That's my thoughts, It was probably very emotional for him.
Top notch video Jordan,i love me some blues brothers.
Great video. Thanks for bringing us along. You and Katie take care.
I was there with a car (one of the ones with a horn on it). I saw a few shots of myself and my Elwood (He has a healing broken leg). The 2 of us, plus a 3rd (Zee Blues, Jim's part), have been doing a BB tribute act for almost 29 years. We actually performed with Jim Belushi in ME 2 years ago. That was pretty cool. Thank you for posting and helping to keep the memories alive.
Cool!
Hi Jordan & Katie, Excellent vlog. Now I want to watch the movie again. Bow Bow Bow! I’m glad the rain stopped for the tribute music. John & Judy were probably dancing up there 🙏🏻 It is a let down about Dan not mingling or signing autographs. He showed up, sang & danced so I pardon him. We never know what’s going on in someone else’s life. Take care & give Jah a pet from me.
You’re right next to me!! I live not too far from there. I g o for my self-guided tours. So much fun.
I didn’t expect a whole bunch of emotions to wash over me watching this. My father was a big Blues Brother fan and I have flashes of memories watching it with him. I was born in ‘81 to give you an idea of my age. He was a Vietnam vet who was a heavy alcoholic, so the majority of occasions we actually spent some time together involved a television set. Every now and then, I’ll have a wave of memories come back to me and hit me hard - shows, movies, music I experienced with him… it’s bittersweet. He left when I was 17 and we never spoke again. He took his own life about six years later. Clicking on the video I was just thinking oh cool another Daze’ upload. Then when the concert portion started, I unexpectedly started balling as the above memories of time watching the movie with my father hit me.
So yeh, that comment went deep and dark… sorry about that!🙃
I love it! I hear you, the movie has a lot of childhood memories for me too! Not to mention all of the great comedy, and cameos by well known character actors and directors! Just a true classic. I really enjoyed the show
😢🩹🩸🙏
We all hope your doing well now. Sorry to hear you had to go though that early in life.
u know u made it, when Jordan the lion comes 2 Joliet il. Love your posts. tanks 4 them.
🇬🇧Looks good but aww that rain you wouldn't like it here then as we have that weather all the time 😅
Aww!! I would have loved to experience this! I’m a huge Blues Brothers fan! My dad & I would howl every time we’d watch the movie together! Car chase through the mall scene is hilarious! So glad you both got to attend! Thank you for sharing your day with us. Sending all my love & good juju to those guys! And you all too! 🎶❤️😎🎶
I grew up in Chicago and I watched part of the blues Brothers being filmed. The scene where the bluesmobile was driving past the Picasso statue.
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing with Blues Brothers fans all over!!!
One of my favorite movies of all time thanks Jordan for sharing this video i wish i could of been there.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Wow! I sure am enjoying this. I sure would've liked to have been there. I didn't even know about it. I need to get my head out of the sand.
We’re on a mission from God was my senior quote in highschool when I graduated in 2020! Absolutely love this movie!
I remember listening to my Dad's copy of Briefcase Full of Blues. I recall the bit about a Rubber Biscuit; this is the first time I've heard it called a Ricochet Biscuit. 🎶🎤
Check the original recording
Dan personally sign the Ghostbusters movie and my Cristal Skull Vodka.
I saw him in The LOBO in Mississauga Ontario Canada.
He has a big place in Kingston, Ontario Canada.
Oh man! I am highly upset I missed this lol. and i was actually nearby in Lockport this weekend too🤦🏾♀️😤Thanks Jordan!
I would understand that this could be difficult for him because he might be still feeling the loss of John Belushi and it might be raw feelings towards it if I could I would let him know if he wants someone to talk to I'm no stranger to loosing a best friend and family member I would give him my info and tell him to contact me if he wants to talk to someone about it I would comfort him as much as possible and let him know that someone who isn't self centered like a whole lot of fans I just want him to know that there's non self centered people out there that care's because you don't know what that person is thinking and feeling at that moment I'm just saying this from experience
Great video about the event! As for Dan´s behaviour, it seems it´s a "natural" thing for him to do, as I recall some people saying the same after some other Blues Brothers gigs. Jim Belushi took some time to sign some autographs and talk with people while Dan stood backstage. I remember ages ago he had problems with some fans (I think it was something like a stalker sending letters to his home or anything like that, it´s been 20 years or so so I can´t remember everything) so maybe that changed his behaviour on gigs?
I can see him being different on Crystal Head´s signings as, well, he´s the only attraction there, so he has to do that. I knew people who meet him and said he´s polite and kind interacting with fans. But yes, too bad he didn´t sign anything on a convention made from his inventions.
He;s here, he's there, he's everywhere, so beware! Jordan in Joliet State Prison! Thanks for taking us along.
Jprdan, I love your posts. Please give Dan a pass. He might be emotional about Judy's passing, and he's certaimly given his all in the show.. Besides, he might have needed to save it for the show...keep on posting, you're a lot of fun to watch
I’m gonna put a defence in for Dan Akroyd. He has been diagnosed with Autism. I’m autistic myself and was diagnosed as an adult. We don’t handle huge emotional stuff well and he has recently lost his dear friend & Johns wife. Everytime he puts the suit on it will remind him of all the dear people he has lost.
I personally would have found it almost impossible to turn up and the fact that he came is a credit to him. He got on stage and he performed, but this is maybe just too raw for him.
My gf thinks the same thing. He likely had too much going in his head with regards to Judy, the show, and the weather, I guess.
Great Vlog Jordan. What an awesome festival with the fans especially being held at the Joliet prison. Big fan here of the Blues Bros, it’s too bad Dan Akroyd did not connect with the fans, from what I hear it doesn’t surprise me. The show looked great regardless and it is truly special that you were able to be there! Thanks for letting us join you✌🏽
Thanks Jordan for your video. Big fan of the Blues Brothers. Stars can be moody but they should have said he was not signing that day. He is 72 and probably has health issues as well as grieving for Judy. I did meet Jim back when he was doing his tv show According to Jim. Went to a taping in LA and afterward he talked to the crowd and shook hands/ gave autographs etc. Since I’m from Chicago, we talked about the Bears a bit and shook my
hand. He was very nice.
I saw The Blues Brothers in the theater when I was in high school. When John Belushi started tumbling down those steps after getting whacked by the nun, I laughed until I cried. I could go on and on about more of what cracked me up. Oh we have both kinds of music Country and Western. 🤣 Thanks yall for standing out there and battling the weather all day.
Thank you for sharing this day. Would have been cool to be there. Too bad about Aykroyd.
Orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip?...3 orange whips!
3:07 Hey, that's a familiar car!!
I loved being at the event with all of my other Blumo and Mopar C-body owners. Had a blast from start to finish. Not gonna lie, I was bummed, but I was forgiving due to my similar mental traits with Dan. A day after the event, I sent Jim a very sincere and kind message thanking him and Dan for being there, and thanking him for shaking my hand before following Dan behind stage. I also mentioned that I would be honored to have them sign my Blumo and mabye thrash on it a little for old times sake.
Maybe someday, we'll see...
Great times!!! I see Johnny in your video here and there. Thanks for sharing.
Lol the movie the music haven't seen the film in awhile got to watch the classic movie again 😀
I wish I knew you were here I could have showed you around Joliet ! Dam there is a Route 66 museum down town Joliet too , Wilmington il moved the Gemini giant but it’s going back up in the park soon on Route 66
When they were announced. I swear he said Blues Brother. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
There can never be too many Blues Brothers cosplayers.
Every time I see a drawbridge, I think of Maximum Overdrive. “Can’t you see We have a situation here?”
I too have always loved the Blues Bro, but when you get so big you can’t greet fans….
Years ago I had the opportunity to watch the filming of “In And Out “ on Long Island with Kevin Kline and Tom Selleck. Kevin would sign anything you gave him, Tom on the other hand said “ If i signed one I’d have to sign them all.” so he would just wave. The magazine I had kept with me for years from Hawaii with him on it went in the garbage that day.
Sad Dan stiffed his fans. About 15 years ago Dan was in Regina Saskatchewan Canada promoting his Crystal Skull Vodka. I knew the manager of the Liquor Store doing the event. She said Dan was super nice and even phoned the manager's friend to say Happy Birthday. My guess is maybe he was a tad drunk as they were sampling straight vodka....great video. Thanks !
Looks like a great event!
It was! Overall, a blast!
My buddy shooey von gooey was at this event! Pat Paradise Rock Stations enjoy ur work!
I'm a fan of Jim. I agree with you about Dan.
oh hey, neat a bridge going up. Guess at least one of them is open!!
You and Katie are a beautiful couple
Thank you! She is the love of my life, for sure!
Fantastic!
Dan might of been having a bad day I met Dan about ten years ago signing his liquor brand and He was very nice to Me and I sat with Him for a while talking with Him .
He should have picked a different day to have a bad day.. a rescheduled convention that people had tockets for from the year before when it was cancelled deserved a little better i think.. i met one family that scheduled time off for work for last years, then it got cancelled last minute, and they again took their vacation and drove from texas and were hoping to get him to sign a diecast car.. there couldnt have been more than 100 people at any time waiting.. like katy said, just have someone tell the crowd you dont want to meet people, so everyone could have went off and done other things, rather than knowing everyone was waiting to meet him..
We just got back from Orlando and saw "The Blues Brothers" perform at Universal Studios...then this video popped up ha!
Too bad Aykroyd didn't interact with anyone. I get he's in his 70's and its probably run its course but good grief one more time for the fans couldn't have hurt...others did it
How is your Audio Quality So Good? When I saw this in Person it was So Extremely Loud I Heard Vibrations and a Loud Base Boosted Static Sound coming Through the Speakers over their Voices and Music from the Back of the Audience.
It is sad that Dan didn’t interact with the people there especially so many people travel from so far it makes you wonder if there’s something going on in his life which very well could be but when people get into that type of industry and go to events like these, they should be interacting with fans, I feel very strongly that if they don’t want the attention then don’t get into the type of industry because it comes hand-in-hand
I would’ve been that guy yelling during the show “you can’t take time for your fans waiting all day on you! Seriously!” That really upsets me they act like their crap don’t stink.
Thanks awesome video I enjoyed seeing this
Oh you were Definitely a Vip.
Only People who had Vip Tickets were Able to get this Close to the Stage.
I Only was able to get a General Ticket so I was Behind you at the Fenced Area in the Middle but I got as Close as I Could.
They say don't meet your idols, you will be disappointed
we have to go in and see the penguin
Would've turned it sour for me too; sad when "stars" forget that fans are the people who put them where they are.
Would have been an extraordinary moment for the fans. Jim met everyone in 10 minutes.
@@DazewithJordantheLion yes sir it would've been something they could've held onto forever, after hearing this happened I don't believe I'll ever look at him the same...of course he was never a Belushi anyway 😉
This looks like a fun event. Have not seen the movie in a long time but I used to have the record. Did the band sing Rawhide?
1974 Dodge Monaco sedans are so incredibly rare now days. They were all crushed decades ago. I think its safe to say most the ones that still exist today are Bluesmobile replicas
That was the best video I have seen in a long time. Thanks Jorden.
So sorry that Dan Ackroyd disappointed you. It did look like a great show. I hope you had fun anyway!
Would have been a nice thing for all of the people waiting.. jim belushi made his way up the entire line in 10 minutes... seemed like a nice thing to do..
Cool that you were there! They were just talking about it on radio this morning!
Really?? Dan is really a good guy, met him many times in the past. To say he's not a good man due to one appearance is just stupid. I'm sorry he didn't meet YOUR expectations, but he's done more for Blues and Jazz than most in the US. How's about YOU show HIM some respect.
I didn’t hear anyone say he wasn’t a good man. How about YOU respecting this channel. There was no disrespect shown towards Dan. What was reported was Fact and his opinion, and he is entitled to that. Stop being so offended over little stuff.
Thanks for posting this 😅
Awesome video. It be a long time since I watched the blues brothers. Awesome movie and I have a CD of the blues brothers
I was happy to see them perform live after all these years of loving the movie..
we're on a mission from God
I’ve had the chance to work with Eddie Floyd several times in the past. Sometimes two years would pass but he always recognized me and came over to say hello.
Meet him in 2008. Really nice fellow and a huge artist; he did the second half of The Blues Brothers Band gig by himself, moving all over the stage and singing in the same key all his classics. Spent most of the after gig on the backstage with him, chatting about small things as he was a friend (instead of a Stax star!).
Cut some slack on Dan. He’s been through a ton, losing so many friends and now Judith. You know he also has social anxiety and autism. Remember his contribution to music and comedy. Great video
It never stops hom from doing his crystal head vodka meet and greet signings.. sounds like he knows how to manage it when he needs to, otherwise he probably wouldnt be booked for many movies, had he been that unpredictable be ause of his social anxiety
@@DazewithJordantheLionI'm not trying to make excuses, but I'd be a broken mess if this was (rumored) the day of me saying goodbye to "The Blues Brothers" and the last vestige of it in Judy....and then do a show.
Maybe he allowed himself to hide inside of Elwood so as not to cry all day before a show.
He showed up early for a reason, but I think things changed for him once he got there.
I feel Danny got there and couldn't say hello...so he decided Elwood was there to say goodbye.
I dunno. I wasn't there that day. But I do know how much the BB's and Judy/John meant to him.
What was sad we watched the last movie and Dan stood outside waiting on John 😢all night
was this at the big house in Joliet?
Yes, it was. 😎😎🚔
Enjoyed again Jordan and Jah, Sorry you didn't get autograph, what was he thinking
Man that is super dissappointing I feel bad for all the fans that went for Dan to treat them so bad. Thats why I never want to meet anyone I really like because it would just ruin it if they were an ass
I want Jordan The.Lions Autograph more than Dan Ackroyds Plus Jordan loves his fans.
I’m very disappointed by Dan Aykroyd’s lack of engagement towards the crowd. I had always heard he was “one of the good guys” which makes this seem quite shocking. However, I can’t rule out that in his state of aging he’s probably being prescribed meds that affect his moods and personality.
Me too! I always hear what a great guy he is, and from other fans, but ive now tried to meet him twice, and hes been the same way both times..
Good video!
I have that movie its amazing work
Blues Brothers movie was a good movie John Belushi what's a good actor
It looks like they put on a really great show even if Dan A wasn't friendly to the fans. Thanks for sharing it.
We love your videos Jordan ❤ Dan Aykroyd Sucks.
Curtis, my man!
Why would a celeb agree to attend an event like that and not at least talk to fans? Strange. Still looks like a fun time other than that though.
It was great nonetheless! But, would have been a great memory
Can anyone confirm the rumor that Dan said he wont be playing Elwood any further and this was his last show??
You didn't Show the Best Part when they Started Playing "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love"
When they got to doing filler material where all the other members were doing songs, and jims daughter was doing her songs, i decided then just to film one more song of jim and dan, then just put the camera away for the night
Who’s the blonde? Your girlfriend? Dude, at last! She’s sweet! 🎉😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wish I could have gone...this is 5 minutes from my house! Hope you enjoyed!
I lived in the area for 25 yrs never knew this existed
Aykroyd kinda phoned it in even in the performance but brother Jim belushi was really into it
Dan seemed off even on stage . I get that he’s up in years . Never heard bad stories about the guy with fans . Legit worried and curious if something behind scenes was going down ?
That said if I were in his shoes and feeling rotten would’ve at least addressed those waiting from megaphone as a joke and explain why I’m not socializing and apologize .
That said , True Judge of Character is how you treat people you do not have to treat well .
His shunning fans really troubles me .
that’s a shame that Aykroyd wasn’t saying hi to everyone, but he’s going through a lot with losing Judy.
What is the song on your intro?
Sandful of hand by 84 nash
@@DazewithJordantheLion thank you and love your channel and that intro
Jim is a class act, loved him in Curly Sue! Too bad for Dan though that’s a shame 😢
Jim was as nice as could be! He even came out a second time to see if anyone didnt get a photo or autograph. Ive always been a huge fan since Real Men, so it was a great moment to mert "Nick Parendello"
@@DazewithJordantheLion damn he’s amazing! I love when stars are sympathetic to their fans, love that 🥰
In Dan's defense it was obviously a busy event for him so maybe he just kept getting sidetracked.
no steve cropper? :(
