Great player giving his life to the Blues, his great love, he left his wealthy family life for this musical genre ,I appreciate his músic that left us thousands of fans Who love him Blues 🎸🎸🎸🥁🎹
Peter Green exhibits a direct connection between his heart, fingers his head and a higher power. I also enjoyed Kim Simmons. Mike Bloomfield was special I saw him with The Electric Flag.
Peter Green exhibits a direct connection between his heart, fingers, hands and a higher power. Kim was not one of the greats like Peter and Mike but was always a joy in concert. I saw Mike with the Electric Flag and he was Electric. May God bless them all.
One of the best 'mixed fretwork' style of soloing that I have ever heard. Some day I'll try to figure out how Michael glides so smoothly between honey-dripping slide and standard fingering, but for now, just one more reason to shake my head in wonder and admiration for this blues genius.
Bloomfield has been my favorite guitar player for 44 years. I also really like Shuggie Otis even though he was only 15 with Al Kooper. Check out Bury My Body. Great solo.
Sorry it has taken all these year's..Mike.....of course you can "feel" this,...Vermont. Nice, pleasant, relaxing. With good folk's all around us..JD is gone now too...give him my love, when you meet his path. "Do as thy will, if it harm none" ! aka-Psycho
+Atomic Lobotomy Oh No!insult was meant. .I just ment he was beyond any of the norms ,,a 15 yr old Jewish kid playing on the the Southside streets (maxwell st.)Chicago and the heavy weights we all know Bb,Buddy,muddy,they all took to him like a gift..and he was...thanks for music
Yeah, I knew he started out with Paul Butterfield Blues Band, or was with them for a while. My favorite black blues guitarist is Hubert Sumlin, but I'm not sure where he came from. Sumlin is supposed to have been one of few actual influences on Jimi Hendrix as Sumlin manipulated settings on his guitar and amps in unique way that made guitar come alive. With Bloomfield you sometimes feel he's just going to soar away on the music he's creating. Bloomfield's work on first Electric Flag album is a high point for me.
Desde hace muchos años siempre ha sido mi guitarrista favorito. Larga vida al dúo Blomfield&Kooper (parece que estoy navegando por las aguas verdes del Pacífico)
So good. Thanks for post. I listen and study MB. So wish he were here to see his following after all these years. It was a sad day in SF when we lost him. Would give anything to see him and Joe Bonamassa play together.
Howdy, somehow I missed Mike Bloomfield and how great his playing was. On this selection by you I’m subscribing hoping you have some more of great guitar playing artists. Wow! Thanks
My guess would be either Mark Naftaln, who played with Bloomfield quite a bit and was great at this style - or possibly it's a multi-tracked Bloomfield himself. Hardly anybody knows this, but Bloomfield was a MONSTER piano player - search for "Relaxin' Blues" and you'll find an example of him doing it.
I used to own the LP with this track. It may be his last album before dying. Almost all tracks were gospel, blues and rag times. This blues is a typical one of the rest of the album, that is, slow songs with plenty of bottleneck guitar. Overall, I remember it wasn't what I was expecting. In fact, he himself set the bar so high in the "Supersession" that very few recordings afterwards can only palely resemble such a brilliant performance.
Mike Bloomfield , Mick Taylor , l' essence même du blues , un feeling inégalé .. Clapton and co sont loin , très loin... Super session, jeff Beck "truth " , Led Zep 1 voilà le nec plus ultra.. Mais " jumping at shadows " est aussi bouleversifiant!!
Saw Mick Taylor at the great American music hall in 2002 and he did an avriviated version of east west knowing that a lot of audience were Bloomfield fans, great show!!!!.
They were both great. Mike had the advantage of living in Chicago. Eric had to wait until "the masters" toured the UK. Yes Bob Dylan was backed by Bloomfield at Newport 1965 - and this had a huge impact for sure. But had it not been for England and players like Clapton, the "60's Blues Revival" might never have happened at all. Both guys deserve alot of credit.
@@ZedwomanKieth is a great riff player. Mick Taylor is a great blues player. Saw him at the Great American music hall in San Francisco and finished the shoe with a short version of East West, what a treat.
People here and elsewhere say M.B. was afraid of success. He was a trust fund baby. Getting 50 grsnd a year. He died in his Mercedes. He was a great player period. He felt the blues music and was able to contribute. He was not afraid of success. He didnt need it. I cant say what of the blues touched his life as he never went hungry but hey. He just wanted to play.
He was a junkie who died in his beat-up 71 Mercury (Mercedes in a myth), his father was a multi-millionaire, he didn't really care about much in life, just wanted to play as you say, kind of maddening he was so good and could have done so much, he hated the commercial music business though. Best blues guitarist who ever lived IMHO.
I just saw your comment after mine. I think it might have been mike on piano as well, for I know he was an exceptional pianist as well. Not entirely sure though
Max Malmgren: You are correct in your assessment that Mike Bloomfield was a fine pianist. I saw him at The Bottom Line in NYC in 1974( if I remember correctly). Mike Bloomfield & Friends was the name of the group, which consisted of Al Kooper & Barry Goldberg. I forget the other members. Anyway Bloomfield took an extended piano solo that night that rivaled his exceptional guitar work. That piano solo brought the house down.
@@josephlemko3027 The pianist is Mark Naftalin on this track, not Michael Bloomfield. Bloomfield is playing slide guitar in this composition which is actually entitled, "Groundskeeper's Blues" and was written by Mark Naftalin. It was a live duet performed and recorded at McCabe's Guitar shop in Santa Monica in 1977, and is an outstanding example of the many collaborations between Bloomfield and Naftalin who were first united in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in 1965, but continued to work together on numerous projects up until Michael's death in 1981. How do I know all of this? Because Mark told me so, and I am his son, and I believe I was there as a 7 year old child for this performance. I will soon post the legitimate version of this great live recording that has been edited and mastered by my father.
Indeed Bloomfield was on a category of his own in the Chicago blues style. The only one that I feel is at his level for my taste in blues rock style is jimmy hendrix. Technically, Bloomfield at that time for me was far superior to any of the lead guitarists of that time.
Do you realize back then they used a banjo string for an E and moved all the other strings up, there was no E made for guitar that was small enough to bend like he did, they didn't make slinky sets back then, so all you had to do was look at a guitar and it would go out of tune, no electronic tuners back then either, we all tuned by ear. The G string went flat constantly back then and so did his.
One of the main reasons G strings go out of tune is when they added the banjo E string and moved the others up it created a plain G where before it was wound. If everything else is fine frets, but especially the nut, try replacing the plain G with a wound G. Retune of course and listen. The result was nite and day. Fascinating.
There seems to be a lot of defensive Bloomfield fans on this site. Why bring Clapton (or any guitarist) into a comparison with Bloomfield? Clapton doesn't need me or anyone to defend him, but I'd point out that he, unlike Bloomfield, was not afraid of success. To some, success is equated with "selling out." I don't think you can pin that charge on Clapton. I for one bitterly criticized his early '70's stylistic change, as exemplified by 461 Ocean Blvd. But he had to follow his Muse. On the other hand, what can one make of Bloomfield's numerous defections from concert appearances and recording commitments? I'm not a shrink, but I do think that Bloomfield fled from the glare of fame's spotlight and was terribly conflicted because of it. I believe that Bloomfield was a tragic case. Much more so than Hendrix, another tragic case (for a different reason) who lived his dream to the fullest. And certainly Clapton is still adding to his legacy.
bloomfield was a heroin addict and a bad insomniac.but still the greatest guitarist I have ever heard.way ahead of Clapton.compare "beano" to "east-west.
mikebloomfirld66 Don't confuse best with favorite. It's not necessary for me to defend Clapton. His discography speaks for itself. If it were a matter of technical virtuosity, Steve Morse would smoke the both of them. If it were only about feel, Peter Green or Gary Moore would nudge them both. Jeff Beck would rank higher for originality. Bloomfield is your man. Nothing wrong with that. But the best?
mikebloomfirld66 I don't think Beano was a real Clapton highlight simply because it was more just another era in his tone. That was an album by another artist that Clapton played on, not an album Clapton wrote himself. Credit where credit is due.
omfg51 I never mentioned the "Beano" album, but since you bring it up, the question should be: would that album or any of the Mayall albums have sold as well if it wasn't for the name Clapton made for himself with Cream?
I'm fairly certain that the Beano album was released before Cream had found their commercial critical acclaim. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was Clapton's Beano work that solidified him in the musician world enough to be able to find his supergroup mantra in reference to Cream.
I think that Mike was the only Giutar player that could compare with Ry Cooder using the slide for my point of view the master . He died too early. Always blues in my mind. The real life is a blues
I agree. Although i don't consider Derek Trucks to be a poser i would undoubtably say the rest (Mayer, Bonamassa,KWS etc) are. I don't think they can help it though LOL...it was different TIMELESS era in the 1960s-70s. More authentic. Guys like Mike Bloomfield lived the life and so many legends were still alive.. Loved his playing on Muddy's "'Fathers & Sons"' LP.
he was said to have become disinterested in the guitar and himself said that he was in 67' saying Clapton was the best nor could he imagine "anyone ever being better."
MB said that? you are sure about that? Because the only thing MB said as to who the best was(inside of Rock Roll) was, Jimi Hendrix!!! Clapton as well as everybody else agreed, I do too.
josky582 - thanks for your .02. another person who says "what they really meant," despite their OWN statements, MLOL. the man SAID - well, not "ask my friend josky582 :)" he said: I became depressed and unsure of my worth after hearing clapton. fact.
Bloomfield was definitely a way better guitarist than clapton....Bloomfield had it all technicality but most important. .. FEELING & SOUL. ...clapton is more influential no question. ..but i also think that's because clapton was involved in very legendary groups. ...
I had the most excellent jam with Mike, he was a beautiful soul.
Odger ya did
Heard Mike in 66 and I still think he's the best.
Great player giving his life to the Blues, his great love, he left his wealthy family life for this musical genre ,I appreciate his músic that left us thousands of fans Who love him Blues 🎸🎸🎸🥁🎹
Feb 15 2018 - Mike died 37 years ago today, he was only 37 years old. The man could really play the guitar! RIP Michael.
Rodolpho Magdaloni Agria Boggles the mind to say the least!
Today marks 40 years. As an 18y/o blues player from northern Illinois myself, I have found Bloomfield to be among the most inspiring.
"the least"
stick with it, Max ...from a long-ago neighbor ( Lombard )
Virtuoso phrasing and tone. Transcends the genre. Simply beautiful music.
His tone and peter greens is simply the best
By the way, how about Kim Simmons of Savoy Brown?
@@zxmz8jpw and how bout those 59' lp's
Peter Green exhibits a direct connection between his heart, fingers his head and a higher power. I also enjoyed Kim Simmons. Mike Bloomfield was special I saw him with The Electric Flag.

Wow, This is my first time in my life ever hearing a Mike Bloomfield track. All I know is, I'm hooked!
Welcome aboard, buckle up and enjoy the Bloomfield ride.
Rest in Peace ☮️☮️☮️☮️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ great blue's collection!!!!
Very nice to discover this Blues tune by Mr. Michael Bloomfield. He's the Man!
What a fantastic sound !!! Thank you Mike for making my ears so happy and my eyes pouring tears!
Got to see him years ago in the 60s at Winterland San Francisco when he played with The Electric Flag.. 😅 I feel very lucky for that
They could not hold M.B's jock strap!! so delicate and nuanced!! He knew when to show and when not to show!!! Bloomfield's musicality is splendid!!!
Sweet, nice, soulful, fun, extremely musically-accomplished! The spirits of great musicians that play with joy and passion can never be surpassed!
So true. Macedonia agrees 101,2% 😉
Amazing!
Pour me a drink,and listen to this......
What a Blues playing !!
Leo from HK
When Mike was on the beam ,he was ,hard to beat stellar playing
Thanks Mike that was beautiful man!!!
Very beautiful!!!!!

Bloomfield has been my favorite guitar player for 44 years. I also really like Shuggie Otis even though he was only 15 with Al Kooper. Check out Bury My Body. Great solo.
you put that very well. Agreed. I'm glad his legacy isn't forgotten, i'll grip my fret board until the day I die wondering how he does this.
The best chaser to my bourbon I have ever found. Bar none
So nice, and easy.
I'm gonna make me a rum drink, sit on the porch in the shade, and look out at the bayou.
Invite me, I'll bring the drink ;)
C'mon down to Bayou St. John.
That's me up on the 2nd floor with my feets up on the railing!
N.O.?
just rum?
ALLELUIA TO YA!
Excellent treat 🎉😢

"Like" function is not working on UA-cam tonight. Just wanted to agree. Bloomfield was the best -- the best white blues guitarist.
+Atomic Lobotomy he wasn't white ...he was Bloomy..and fearless when he played...God rest his soul
Sorry, don't know anything about his parentage. I'm just another UA-cam ignoramus. But I do love Mike Bloomfield.

Sounds like they're just warming up in the studio just having fun
He was the best in all aspects. If you are a musician or if you like music you don´t really need me to give any other explanation. HE IS THE BEST!
Had he just said no to drugs, I can only imagine the music he would STILL be creating. 😢
MB was just as good as Eric!! MB never sold out like Clapton did. Was MB miles ahead? at times. Peace
gd this good
the piano player is incredible
So many nights arguing about who was Butterfield's best guitarist, Bloomfield or Bishop. Ah the memories.....

To me, this is like being in church…. the piano is pure gospel…. but with an electric guitar that’s praying in tongues.

Wonderful blues from Bloomfield. Thanks for sharing. Do you happen to know who was on keys?
Who’s playing piano on this track?
Thats been my assumption aswell
Is he in standard?
Who's the piano player? He's taking care of business a swell!
based off curiosity... who is that in your profile pic? elmore james? It has been bugging me trying to figure it out lol
The profile photo is Bloomfield.
Anyone know who is playing the keys?
Who’s playing? When?
Can anyone tell me who is playing piano here? Is MB playing both tracks? Sorry for the ignorance...
kooper on keys ?
is this mike on piano too?
Is he using an ES?
MB said that? you are sure about that? Because the only thing MB said as to who the best was(inside of Rock Roll) was, Jimi Hendrix!!! Clapton as well as everybody else agreed, I do too.
Sounds like a Dylan tune
josky582 - thanks for your .02. another person who says "what they really meant," despite their OWN statements, MLOL. the man SAID - well, not "ask my friend josky582 :)" he said: I became depressed and unsure of my worth after hearing clapton. fact.
Wow, Bloomfield was MILES better than Eric. Far more adventurous.
Maybe some "Dharma Bum".
John Coltrane
Bloomfield was definitely a way better guitarist than clapton....Bloomfield had it all technicality but most important. .. FEELING & SOUL. ...clapton is more influential no question. ..but i also think that's because clapton was involved in very legendary groups. ...
He is the reason they are legendary......
Clapton is so overrated. Plus he is a racist who has made millions out of parodying black blues
MrSkeeja Ask B.B. King and Buddy Guy what they think of E.C.
Leejon Bumphus Clapton has no swing to his playing. He is a proven racist who has made millions out of recycling blues. He is a fraud
MrSkeeja hahahaha!!!!
Starts sounding great at 5:58 LOL
knockitofff Starts sounding great as soon as Bloomfield picks up the guitar
OMFG YOU ARE SO FKING FUNNY LOLOL HAHAHAHA HEHEHEHE HAHAHAHAHA!!!
