What a great musician. I remember buying the album The Blues Alone on Ace of Clubs in 1967 and reading that JM played practically everything on it. Still one of my favourite artists to this day.
Great to see this even though it makes me sad and nostalgic for the wonderful '60's and a time and era long gone . At least we still have the music and the memories to remember them by .
A wonderful time capsule of 1960's blues greats. It's great to hear Mick Taylor who already had that lovely vibrato nailed. It's hard to believe just how long John Mayall stayed on the road as an ambassador for the blues. This is history that will never be repeated in this way. An amazing time for live music.
The first time in 67'; I was fortunate to catch Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Mick Taylor, D. Heckstall-Smith, Keef Hartley, C. Mercer, H. Lowther at the Whisky a GoGo on the Strip... They had released the 'Crusade' LP in Sept 67; Mick was only 19; and he killed it !! Mayall's keyboards, harp and vocals were the roots of the Bluesbreakers, a tight groove and a flashy horn section made for an exciting venture into the blues! In June 68' Mayall's Bluesbreakers released 'Bare Wires' LP; great stuff one of their best... IMHO!! John Mayall, Godfather of British Blues has carried the torch for so many years was again on the road at age 88 this year. He did one show in Ontario, CA with former Mayall guitarist 🎸 Walter Trout! Couldn't make that one; maybe next time !! Peace to All ......
I was so lucky to see him at the Del Mar Fair a few years ago and brought my Bare Wires album cover for him to sign. The only autograph I've ever wanted.
@Becks Bolero 66 Three? By my count, there were at least five: Clapton, Greeny, Mick Taylor Coco Montoya and Walter Trout. But I'm sure I'm neglecting someone worthy too.
I recall a tour of John and Mick in the 1980s. It was a small venue where the stage had steps that went down to the floor. We had first row center. Resting our legs on the bottom step, relaxing and enjoying the show... It was out-a-sight!
Agreed. Such a sweet take on the blues, all the more incredible given his youth back then. My dad always loved playing with him. RIP John, and thanks for bringing all that talent together!
Thankyou so much. Almost too emotional to watch after all these years. So many memories of watching and listening to Mayall with Eric and Peter in the sixties. The Marquee Club was one of my favourite haunts. I think this band is the Laurel Canyon lineup.
Great John Mayall, great band with the second best guitar player John Mayall ever had. The best guitarists John Mayall ever had was the great Peter Green definetely. ✌️
True to form Mick Taylor soloing shots of everyone including wildlife Mick Taylor nowhere to be found Once again film directors -editors engineers in the booth all clueless 👏👏👏 .....
It's easy to hear Mick Taylor soloing, look at him playing, see his hands moving and assume that who is playing what would be obvious to people in the booth, as would what part is relevant at a given moment. By looking at video from that era, it's easy to tell that they knew who was singing at any given moment, because that part is obvious to a non-musician. I don't think they had a concept that the audience would want to be looking at a given player at a given moment, when they hear the music as a whole, which would sound the same even if the camera is focused on birds or ships. If they focus on the drummer instead, well he's playing at that time too. Focusing on the guitarist doing nothing during a drum solo wouldn't make sense, and a head shot of somebody while not singing might not make sense, but it's likely that the people making the video had no idea ahead of time who would be playing what or what kind of music it is.
Of course, just like with the Cream farewell show, Clapton is on fire and we see everyone but Clapton, except maybe the back of his head, during the solo
Vale, and thank you,John Mayall. Yes your LP live , is here with me in Australia, I bought it in the record's shop at Acoyte and Rivadavia in 1970 in Argentina.
I only found this rather brilliant clip here on YT a few days ago and was thrilled (and shocked, to see it had been available for SIX YEARS already!!!), and suddenly I get the news about him going away with the night train... Tears.
Mick Taylor is a special talent. Almost certainly the most underrated of the UK greats from that era. His Stones stuff, like Moonlight Mile, is indicative of why the Beggars Banquet to Only Rock n Roll era was their richest vein of form, especially Sticky Fingers. As an SG owner it’s great to see Mick with his SG too.
NO one gone be like John any more there is only one John Mayall.Good singer and harmonica player and gitarr and piano ❤❤❤and so sad he is gone😢😢😢R.I.P.Dear John❤❤❤and your music lives on .Thanks for all good music you give us in all year.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
I didn't know that John had called it a day. What a day it's been!!! When was this made official? I've followed John since Diary Of A Band was released.
Mick sounds great. He replaced Peter Green in Mayalls band he filled the spot perfectly and later pumped tons of talent into the Stones. Cheers from Montreal

Sigo a J.Mayall y sus grupos, desde que tenia 19 años. Mucha gratitud. Tambien he podido oirle en directo en tres acasiones. Siempre autentico. El canto " i got my blues, something that's my own". Para siempre
Oh, this is exquisite. My favorite Mayall band period. John on the Hammond. This song. Just wonderful. Probably Colin Allen on drums, and Steven Thompson on bass.
There's a bit of Canned Heat to the sound in "Walkin on Sunset." It captures the excitement of the time like a happy family photo. I appreciate the post.
Thanks. We saw Mayall and the Bluesbreakers in August, 2004 at the Fargo Blues Festival in North Dakota. He had turned 70 the previous autumn, as good as the other performers were, he and the band were that intangible next level up.
I am from Denmark where I seen John two times playing smaller places..yeah he could handle the mouthharp in his all own style, Room to move. We all need Rome to move dont we. Sleep well John

I am so grateful to be able to see this footage thanks so much. I am back in the 60s in what was know as the Chinese R&B club in Bristol and also at Glastonbury Town Hall where all our great bands of the day would play. Including John Mayalls Bluesbrakers. Brilliant music brilliant times.
@@jameskennedy721 I can guarantee you that it is a catching-up that you will not mind at all! lol He is 88yrs young, God bless him,and an lp in 2022 and 2021.Phenomenal musician.
@@AuxesisHyperbole666 Nope. It's definitely Colin Allen. ......... (Even though The Keef Hartley Band was one my very favorite bands from the era. Very "adult" music from Keef & Miller Anderson. Funny...just yesterday I was listening to "The Time Is Near.")
John Mayall was very popular with me because I could afford the entrance to his gigs ! Got to see the best musicians of the time as a result. Dick Heckstall -Smith on Sax being one.
Yes!!! In the late 90's I was fortunate enough to see Mr. Heckstall - Smith late in his career with the Peter Green Splinter Group - during one of their London home stands at Jazz Cafe in Kentish Town - without knowing much about his royal pedigree at the time.
Saw them at the Kinema ballroom in Dunfermline in December of this year. Supported by The Shadettes - soon to become Nazareth. Great gig. Who would have known we were watching a future Stone?
Mick Taylor at 1:51 and 4:36, otherwise you can't see his face. Mayall actually announces Dick Heckstall-Smith for the 3rd song. Nice to see Steve Thompson footage - his standup bass work on Turning Point is rock solid. Colin Allen on drums, a new name to me. RIP John Mayall.
I'd love to see John's classic recordings get more attention..I wish I had a copy of Bare Wires on vinyl or any worthy format. His music has remained a constant inspiration. He proved just how versatile the blues could and should be! What a brilliant artist. The essence of underrated. His bands especially this period with Mick and crew was absolutely stellar! Walkin' on Sunset!! What a gem. A shame he lost his Laurel Canyon home to fire. One of those palaces of legend and notoriety!
RIP John Mayall, so much to be grateful for.
Blues from Laurel Canyon…A True Masterpiece….
When it came out I listened to Blues from Laurel Canyon over and over and over.......

Just playin the blues...with eyes closed its just pure smoking blues. Geez, Mandel is humming and cutting!
Bought it in Paris early 1969. Still have it.
Thank you John for all your music. Rest in peace. I play guitar and harmonica because of you, Thank you.

Blues alone. I have it too. One of his best👍 didnt know JM played everything. 🤔
@@riensnijder5712 Yep everything except drums which were played by Keef Hartley.
No mick taylor on guitar? I also have " crusade". Almost as good as blues alone. Pretty sure MT played on that. Or??????
@@JoyDivision88
He had that rare kind of voice, one that can go effortlessly high.
A great talent scout, as well as a musician.

Great to see this even though it makes me sad and nostalgic for the wonderful '60's and a time and era long gone . At least we still have the music and the memories to remember them by .
Same feelings...
No reason to be sad because it's wonderful what we have here. Would spend a lot of money to see and hear Mr. Beethoven playing...
rest in peace, John Mayall. we were blessed with many years of your brilliance and talent. You will be missed. 💙💙💙💙

Amazing snapshot of a bygone era, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers was like a production line of excellent musicians, what a time to be alive it was.
@Becks Bolero 66 Three?
By my count, there were at least five: Clapton, Greeny, Mick Taylor Coco Montoya and Walter Trout.
But I'm sure I'm neglecting someone worthy too.
@Becks Bolero 66 Who are the 3 who played in both groups ? I can only think of Eric Clapton.
Rest in peace John Mayall, you'll never be forgotten. Thanks for everything...
this at 4 am sitting alone in the dark with a beer. so good
Got to see him for free in Houston around 1970 in the Heights. About 25 people in the audience.
I recall a tour of John and Mick in the 1980s. It was a small venue where the stage had steps that went down to the floor. We had first row center. Resting our legs on the bottom step, relaxing and enjoying the show...
It was out-a-sight!
You don't know what you've got...till it's gone..!!...Bless You John Mayall...Blues guitar players like me..owe you so much....!!!!!!!

@@dmacdaddy1663 Very exaggerated. Mick Taylor is a great guitarist, Charlie is a great drummer and Wyman is a great bassist.
Cameraman was in love with Mayall. I was hoping to see Mick playing.
Same here. Cool video, but too much Mayall and no Mick Taylor...
Well, maybe if it was Mick Taylor and the Bluesbreakers, that would have happened.

True to form Mick Taylor soloing shots of everyone including wildlife
Mick Taylor nowhere to be found
Once again film directors -editors engineers in the booth all clueless 👏👏👏 .....

This happened a lot in the late sixties. Band is really cooking on stage and cameras are pointed at the 1000th stoned dancer in the crowd

Thank you John for introducing me to a treasure trove of blues when I was a kid…a true legend..rest in peace
I saw the Bluesbreakers with Mick at the CU campus in Boulder, CO. Mick is a fantastic blues player!
RIP John. His keyboard playing always gave a unique flavour to his blues.

Thank God the Rolling Stones decided to join Mick Taylor.
@@robertcudny1839 Agreed.
The world probably wouldn't have Ry Cooder's wonderful catalog.
Couldn't bear it.
Imágenes en blanco y negro de música sofisticada, hecha y oída por gente sofisticada. Grande Mr. Mayall. Su paso por este mundo no pasó desapercibido.
belas palavras! falou muito bem. imagens branco y negro de musica sofisticada., por gente sofisticada vou usar também essa frase
Sadly don’t see a second of Mick.

He`s a bit in the dark...
1:51 mark for a few seconds

As an SG owner it’s great to see Mick with his SG too.
I think that SG is the one Keith Richards sold him before Taylor joined the Stones.
His first work was Honky Tonk Women on Let it Bleed.
NO one gone be like John any more there is only one John Mayall.Good singer and harmonica player and gitarr and piano ❤❤❤and so sad he is gone😢😢😢R.I.P.Dear John❤❤❤and your music lives on .Thanks for all good music you give us in all year.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
I saw John Mayall and the Blues Breakers at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach in the 60's. Rocked Out ! :O)
U lucky bastard! I lived 800' from the bear in 80😮but did see him at the LA county fair in 80something😊
On va continuer à t'écouter.. bluesman de qualité..irremplaçable par sa voix qui nous poursuit et nous berce..😢😢❤❤
Great seeing early Mick Taylor. His playing here is very early, a couple or three years later he would blossom to become an outstanding lead guitarist
Each to his own. I would say his playing on "Bare Wires" and "Blues From Laurel Canyon" is absolutely excellent progressive blues guitar.
@@bodhiheeren Definitely 🌟
I have the song
“Giddy up” off Mick’s solo album, it’s worth a listen
John Mayall hangs up his harp...thanks for the blues in my life John...nobody worked as hard as you...
I didn't know that John had called it a day. What a day it's been!!! When was this made official? I've followed John since Diary Of A Band was released.
Mr Mayall taught me to play harp, he doesn't know that though. Did you know that electric harp holder was home made by John.
I was there for his final show in California. I first saw him live in 1970 when I was 15.
It was earlier this year, as he turned age 88.
Mick sounds great. He replaced Peter Green in Mayalls band he filled the spot perfectly and later pumped tons of talent into the Stones. Cheers from Montreal
