This is fantastic. Now this here, this is the Blues.
Little Walter is the king of harmonica
the "undisputed" KING!!!
Of blues harmonica.
Add junior wells to that.
Werd vaak gebruikt dierbare herrinneringen aan de muziek of je blank bent of zwart we zijn allemaal gelijk !!!@ Zonis het ....en niet Anders ..We zijn allemaal Mensen met een ❤ Zie het verschil niet
In the top 3 in no particular order. Big Walter Horton just as good.
I'm loving these older musicians I wish I was around at the beginning of this music fabulous.
This is one of my favorite blues songs by Coco Taylor she knows how to make it Rock but with the blues I enjoy it so much.
Be thankful you live now the worlds musical catelog at your fibger tipa.
it's better in the 1930' s., more like 2010's lyrics.. Such as Lucille Bogan ...
Not better. Different.
Saw The Hound at Yale in 73. 'Fetched' his jug for him. I was the only brother in the audience so we talked a bit. A real class act and a gentleman.
What a fabulous memory ! Wow he played Yale. The first time I met him was when he played at my High School. My little brother was with me and we both felt in love with the man and his music. After the show we hung out with him. Hound Dog had my little brother fetch his rolled up brown paper bag for him. David still loves that his first snort in life was shared with The Hound !
It just does not get anymore " CHICAGO " than this. I was fortunate to be a Southside kid in the 70's to witness it. I missed seeing Little Walter, though. But saw practically every other blues artist. There was no internet then, all I did was read who was credited on my Cream and Stone's albums!
i was the same way but after ten yrs after at woodstock, i really had an impact on me...loved blues before i even KNEW IT WAS blues...
@@bluesdoggmusicrediker4614 same here, 1st blues I heard was the stones doing Lil Red Rooster, my fav song on albums in the early 70's were the blues tunes, like on ten yrs afters albums. It was a while b4 I knew they were all doing great blues stars songs.
@@tgbluesman I was the same way! I remember thinking Eric Clapton was the greatest guitarist alive! All those riffs and lead solos, to me were incredible. I couldn't believe a person could have that much talent? This was when I was 13 mind you, then I figured out just who he was emulating ! First time I heard Stevie Ray on the radio, it was his Albert King stuff that really floored me. All SRV's talent aside I just couldn't believe anyone could nail Albert like that? The Blues gentlemen, is life!
Here I am in living in Deep South Mississippi, a long ways from Chicago. I would have never believed that I would end up here as I was sitting at my drafting table in Niles North, 1969. Such is life....
I was fortunate enough to have seen Wolf, Muddy, Spann, Hubert, and my old pal from Lincoln Ave. Leffty Dizz. Koko, Magic Sam; Junior Wells, and Buddy Guy all playing the clubs. Hound Dog Taylor, and many others at the Maxwell St Market on Sundays. Thinking about some other cats that I knew, and shared a drink, or two with. Odie Payne Jr, Eddie Shaw from the Wolf Gang, Hubert Sumlin, and Sunnyland Slim. I was at Slim"s 80th birthday party at ???? The place across Halsted from B.L.U.E.S. We had a very good time.
I was there, and got my share. What a glorious time to be a Blues fan.
Sittin' on my little porch tonight it's very quiet, Covid quiet. There are crickets chirping in the background, stars shining brightly, and my favorite music got my toe tapping. Got my "snuff juice"' everywhere; just waiting on "Shakin' Box Car Joe." I got a feelin' that he'll be on the next train that rolls into town, and he'll be staggering up with a big smile on his face. I 'll have a tall cool one waiting for him, an over-stuffed shrimp po-boy, a hot bath, and a good flop. I got sawdust on the floor, too just for us.
Listening to my favorite music... getting back in touch with the Universe.
In Stugis they had a T-shirt that said "Fuck Covid - 19 I wen to Sturgis."
I made my own that said "Fuck Covid - 19 I'm Staying Home, and Listening To The Blues!"
Life is crazy hard now, but don't flip out. Remain cool at all costs. A cool head is a cool vibe, and we need lots of those rigrt now.
As Donald Sutherland's character, "Goof Ball" said in the Clint Eastwood movie "Kelley's Heroes",
"No Negative waves, man no negative waves."
Good Luck to all of you out there.
Stay Safe, and Keep The Faith!
Sir, are a very lucky man - what I wouldn't give to have lived and listened in the same era/place.
Muito bom, espero um dia ter a honrar de um dia conhecer Mississipi
El único hondureño que está escuchando estas reliquias de la música en 2024 ❤❤❤
...I LOVE THE BLUES....WOW....THIS IS AWSOME SHE WAS SO YOUNG....KOKO TAYLOR...R.I.P....!!
Hound dog. Blues don't get any more raw then that.
Say, that's Sonny and Brownie waiting in the wings. Sonny is one of me favs.
This is so incredibly Historic.....these Artists are considered "Icons" of the Genre.
For those of us who were born near or grew up during this era (1957 for me) know ALL of the Characters featured in the lyrics of this song because they were friends and associates of my Grandparents.
Hound Dog Taylor is in my pantheon of heroes.
Thanks for posting. I have not seen a video of Koko Taylor this young but I would know that voice as soon as she started singing. One of the most unique voices in the history of the Blues.
Koko was so young here but already had that distinctive sound! I like her version of Wang Dang Doodle better than any I have heard.
My Blues God. All time. Never forget Hound Dog.
This is so amazing. Thank you so much to whomever posted it. My last memories of Hound Dog was dancing in an alley with him at four in the morning on a windy night in Chicago. I was at a Groucho Marx party where the only entrance was the fire escape. Hound Dog and the boys were just passing through and stopped on it to jam up the party. He was pretty old when I knew him, so this is just fab to see him in younger years. We originally met when he played at my high school. My brother and I drank something with him out of a paper bag after the show. Thanks again !!!
I am so pleased to hear that people are enjoying this video. Keep on sharing and spreading the blues around.
Kenjh71 Love this!
+Byrdie Jetson Much respect Byrdie! Thanks for the great story!
+withgoddess What did you play?
I may have seen this lineup in San Luis Obispo on this tour...Big Walter Horton was on hard tho'...Chicago Allstars they called themselves...Sam Chatman was up first and he was really astounding...even the big band allowed him extra time...it was a very memorable evening... my first live big blues band with historical bluesmen.
Saw this band at the Folk Blues Festival Hammersmith Odeon 1967
LITTLE WALKER the king of the harp
KOKO the woman make the devil crawl in the sand
In college from 1968-72, got to see many legends. Worked with a campus crew to support Hound Dog's appearance; had a grand smile the entire show, unlike this clip where he looks so austere. Walter could play like Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson, but his own electric amped songs begat his legendary stature. Saw Sonny and Brownie many times, and marveled at their longevity, into the films "The Jerk," (yes, watch the end!) and "The Color Purple." Saw Koko and Pinetop Perkins ten years ago at ETown in Boulder before they passed. Pinetop is on keys behind John Lee Hooker in the Chicago street scene in "The Blues Brothers." Didn't realize a young Matt Murphy was backing everybody including Sonny Boy way back. The movie's hokey, but just an excuse to pay homage to the rich heritage of blues and rock n' roll talent rapidly vanishing. Like a blues version of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken."
Hound Dog Taylor here shows the brilliance of early black musicians. He does not give a damn about whether or not he can sing, he just SINGS - and that rawness means his performance here touches your soul as does so much early black musician music.
The bass player and harmonica player follow suit, just playing and not worried about being all polished and note perfect - so through pure talent they all end up being even higher than polished and note perfect.
Koko Taylor - immense and all for the same reasons.
Learning technique does give you chops...eventually. But nobody lives the life anymore. So what’s missing is what you hear that makes your heart soar.
@@BusyMedStudent Excellent summation of the difference(s) there.
great footage....love the Hound
To me she is The Divine Ms. Taylor. Force of nature!
How cool does hound dog taylor look in the background while koko taylor is singing her heart out.....my favourite video on youtube!!!
Lil Walter looks dam good to me Playing that harmonica in that Black suit!
All these legends in one video!!
since I heard Keith say that this is where they got IT from I,v been explorin' , like I,v gone to heaven . . .
When music is felt more then it is played.
I saw Koko twice one of those times I drove from Springfield Ga. To ashville N.C. with a broken pelvis I'm not bragging about being tough, I'm talking about how special she was!!!rest in peace QUEEN OF THE BLUES
cameraman work is awesome
Koko Taylor, OMG I've been looking for her my whole life !!!! Excellent.
It is so interesting how blues radiates into your soul. I remember the first time that happened when I was young - felt it in my stomach, my limbs, my brain and my heart. An explosion of awakening of the senses that was pretty powerful for a 15 year old. Life is hard and hurtful, but singing about it gives us the power to endure.
+withgoddess loins !
love😘😍😍
The first song "wild about you baby"...mehr braucht es nicht: 12 Takte und Hound Dog Taylor...super!!!
Oh my goodness how I miss Koko!
Hound Dog was the s*** too. All the giants are gone.
buddy guy still with us thankfully
Amazing video, Hound Dog had a sweet guitar tone with that 4 pickup guitar. Some great musicians playing together,wow.
Hound Dog is the Man ...
wow, that is blues royalty right there. thanks for sharing!
The Blues! These artist were true talent. Koko the Queen.
LOVE THIS!!! Thanks so much for posting. In addition to all the great work by the performers, it's fun to see Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, just sitting stage right, waiting for their turn...which I'm sure was equally amazing. It made me wish Little Walter and Sonny Terry would break into a "conversation" on their harps. Still epic, as is, though!
Amazing! 3 great names of the blues!!!
this is the best, excellent music...
This is incredible footage. Hound Dog playing in a much more restrained way, Koko at the height of her powers. Great stuff.
Little Walter on film...a rarity in itself.
Koko!
Amazing!
Awesome!
Gonna kick down doors and everything!!!!!!!!!! All night long, classic music.
Thanks for uploading this gem.
Koko ...what a voice
wow, wow, wow love me some Hound Dog and Koko
I agree with the others, thank you so much for sharing this. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes watching this guy. Amazing.
Great music I never heard before. Blues with a hint of rock.
One of the best classics ever - I sang this song walking to the bathroom!!!
gorgeous,love the Hound
Muy buena musica 💚
sick!!!! This is true American authenticity to the fullest! Hound Dog's facial expression in the second song is hilarious. Some moments he looks mad, then he pops a little grin.
Koko Taylor , the queen of Chicago blues !
Fantastic - thank you for sharing
Real music!
if u love the blues u r at the right spot
Amazing!
Trio talent unique
Recorded live at the Kongress-Halle, Berlin, Germany, October 15, 1967
He’s the reason soo many people have a harmonica!
No way can this realness can be beat Ms. Koko or Big Walter and everyone else top shelf.
Bloody brilliant... blues at its best, by some of the best....! Wish I could have been there..!
excellent footage of blues greats,now all gone
it is so amazing how Koko could sing very natural and elegant! :D
Love the Music 😎💙🎸👍🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙
Very little footage of Little Walter around, but this is great for numerous other reasons too.
Damn Ms KoKo Taylor in the house this was Lit 💥💥💥
Superb man
Speed it up to 1.25 and it’s early rock and roll
Look no words in a black box at her feet they are all in her head man o man the old days I miss them
Thank you for this.
I saw Koko back in the day and got an autograph from her as she sat at a desk and met fans after the show. I still have it. Does that count for anything?
North Charleston Counts for a Lot ! When you need a Boost, take out her sweet autograph and feel it when you and her were close in the Music !
Yes it does North.A hell of a lot.Jim.Liverpool.
I got an autograph of hers to on a serviette somewhere..my uncle got it from her at buddy guys legends club after her gig.
enough to make me jealous.
Oh Yeah !
Real thing blues , give you the shivers , drinking music
Super rare footage. It looked like that might have been Sonny Terry sitting in a chair in the middle of the second video
It could be Sonny Terry, I was thinking it was Pops (Robert) Taylor, Koko's husband. I had the honor of mixing audio for Koko in Columbia, MO back in 1977 and Pops sat next to me at the mixing board, offering helpful sound tips between sips of rum and cokes. It was a long time ago -- and this clip is ten years older than that -- but I think that's Pops. Could be wrong!
Eddy Haskel That's Sonny Terry. He and Brownie McGhee are on this same concert... unless Pops decided to put on Sonny Terry's shirt. :)
fatheadluv :) Good one!
This is great footage.So glad its still with us
does not get much better than this
All night long, get it y’all!!!!

Hello beautiful
great footage,loved it
great footage !!!!! thank you !!!!
Haha those were the days...when blues was king!
Jaysal P It wasn't the days for them and most people of color...but there was an ample amount of talent to be stolen ,and feeble attempts of duplication.
Those were the days...give me a break
WHO is that guy playing bass? Slick as hell!!
Dillard Crume - apparently!
His name is Dillard Crume
99 percent sure that's Sonnie Terry and Brownie McGee sat in the corner at 4:30 btw
Blues fantastico.
Bonheur total !
This is my kind o' bluez
Wow !!
