Blind Willie heartful tribute to Blind Willie Johnson, a man who's story is a testament to the loneliness of the human race, the loneliness of earth, the spec of a planet we live on in the grander scheme of the infinite universe. Willie's music now exists on a probe called Voyager 1, a probe that has left our solar system. Willie is travelling now. He has gone beyond our earth, his loneliness has taken him beyond into the universe than none of us humans can reach. Blind Willie Johnson lives on forever, and for me, this beautiful and emotional piece of music encompasses that.
Sonny Sharrock once said he was trying to capture terror and beauty in one song with his guitar and it seems that Linda was doing the same thing with her vocals. How many married couples are there who can say the same thing?
another song by linda is much more like yoko so clearly stolen by yoko and as if that wa snot enough, pink floyd stole her too for great gig insky from song black woman by sonny shamrock clealy the same singing. a massive hit.
...............Sonny Sharrock wanted to play the most beautiful sound and the most ugly sounds he can imagine...... pushing the boundaries....... Hendrix was very inspired by Sonny guitar playing.....Sonny was one of his favorite guitar players.......some one asked Sonny what he think about Hendrix stealing his avant garde way of playing the guitar.......Sonny said he didn't give a Phuck......that how he play music .....this how i play music...😅
In an interview shortly before he died, the reporter mentioned Sonny and other guitarists to Jimi. After giving his opinion about some of the others Jimi asked : "Who's the other guy..Shamrock? I think I've heard of some of his stuff." The guy replied : "Oh he's all over the guitar, sometimes it doesn't sound to orderly." Jimi replied : " Sounds like someone we know, huh?"
I Love this Style of Music, but Like all Cult Artists, he IS sometimes overhyped. He was Back then a Protege of Herbie Mann, which most Sonny Sharrock Cultist shamefully neglect. Lather he was endorsed by Bill Laswell. Yoko Ono sure knew Linda. She went one to Make many Records with Wolfgang Puschnig and Jamaladeen Tacuma. The best Record Linda and Sonny Made together was Birds of Paradise, which Sonny Sharrock Cultists dismiss as their Pop Move. Which IS somehow true but which makes it so compelling. It IS more a Linda Record than a Sonny Record, which might also help to make it so special.
@@erikheddergott5514 what the fuck are you even talking about? The best album they made together was Black Woman,if you can't understand the music then too bad for you
@@angelgarcie See, that's the Problem with Cultists, MAGA, Dada or Gaga, you can't live with others Opinion and have to go ballistic to Trump others down. Paradise is much more of a Record with Lindas Input on par with Sonny's. And you can Dance to it and spin it on a Party. Puritanians may deem it as CoMershial but they are to dry for some sweaty, funky Boogie Woogie.
@@erikheddergott5514 yeah that's your opinion,they dont play any of the stuff that you're talking about here,yet you came to criticize it as if your opinion was more important than anybody else,talking in a condescending way doesn't make you smarter
you wasted y our time watching listening to the woman who sang what was then stolen and made world famous by yoko and pink floyd, or to put it mildly , borrowed.
you gotta be kidding me….so amazing this exists.
i'm thinking the same thing.. we're spoiled by this treat.
It’s crazy how much raw urgent emotion is in this video
😂

"Blind Willie" wasn't played on this set...
Just brings it home how great this period in music was late 60s - early 70s.
It doesn't get much better than this. Nice upload.
Life would be duller without misic like this pure beauty thanks. could be miroslav vitous ob bass!!!
When Sonny plays his guitar, he plays with a singleness of purpose & a relentlessness that is truly his own
Reminds me of what Max Roach was doing with 'The Freedom NOW!" Suite. Incredible!
abby!
A l'époque, il n'avait que 2 chaînes de TV mais alors quelle musique !
I love a ballad.
Unbelievable. Killer rhythm section, too--it looks like Beb Guerin (b) and Famoudou Don Moye (dms).
+Karl Evangelista Thank you! Here I was thinking it might be Miroslav Vitous and Miliford Graves, but I think you nailed it!
+Karl Evangelista is correct. And Christ what a performance!
This is fucking metal.
FUCK YES DUDE.
Funny mistake at the beginning : the journalist mentions Sadao Watanabe but says "Watanao Sadanabe"
Damn, now I'll be humming this tune all week!
One of my favorite songs, live on video! Thanks for the upload!!👍👍
The soul....the power.... healing on so many levels.
It is beautiful. Long live rocknroll fiskeboll and crazy jazz👍👍👍
Wow, I'm knocked out. This is a great piece. The first i've ever seen of Sonny and Linda Sharrock, Thank you
What a gem!
Just about phenomenal in every sense
Sonny Sharrock once said he was trying to capture terror and beauty in one song with his guitar and it seems that Linda was doing the same thing with her vocals. How many married couples are there who can say the same thing?
That explains it all, and I mean all. Thank you for writing this. I think my life just changed.
@@ramanibharatam6549I completely agree with you.
Thanks for posting - this is the BEST
Wow, thanks so much for this upload. Never thought I would see footage of Sonny and Linda together.
Amazing performance!
Amazing..!
still love his music!
This is gold!
Mesmerizing.
SUPER!!!
Musica vera e onesta. Grazie. Sonny r.i.p.
stunning
This is pure honest musical expression!
art music
Musical perfection.
This IS what it's about :~)
Yeah man!
Yoko must've listened to this....
that's exactly what i was thinking!
Yoko was better??
another song by linda is much more like yoko so clearly stolen by yoko and as if that wa snot enough, pink floyd stole her too for great gig insky from song black woman by sonny shamrock clealy the same singing. a massive hit.
@@orangestoneface I dunno about floyd, but I can't imagine Yoko wasn't aware of her, and her (Yoko's) vocals seem like thin soup next to this
Linda did it better.
Had difficulty deciding what to listen to-
Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits or This.
this is way heavier than Beefheart.
distinctly different, for sure
This is at least 2.6 times more dangerous than milk, that's for sure.
Mind blown!
Tres bien!
so fucking good
...............Sonny Sharrock wanted to play the most beautiful sound and the most ugly sounds he can imagine...... pushing the boundaries.......

Fred Cracklin would approve.
i'm gonna need some ChewZ for this.
the f is palmer eldritch doin posting sonny ?? thanks anyway, i'll stick to can-d tho
Checked the lyrics she missed a chorus
You mean the one that goes, “Aaaaasrrrrhhggyyyyyyy!!!!?”
That's funny, she's the one singing so...she gets to choose
better for all of us this exists.
My mate says it is an example of how to play four different songs at the same time!
Jimi Hendrix was buried on the 1st and Janis joplin would be gone on the 4th of 1970
looks like somebody was listening to john lennon and yoko ono's plastic ono band album , this is really out there in a good way
Warren Sharrock the best
Jimi Hendrix adored Sonny.
I'm curious, where did you hear that?
In an interview shortly before he died, the reporter mentioned Sonny and other guitarists to Jimi. After giving his opinion about some of the others Jimi asked : "Who's the other guy..Shamrock? I think I've heard of some of his stuff." The guy replied : "Oh he's all over the guitar, sometimes it doesn't sound to orderly." Jimi replied : " Sounds like someone we know, huh?"
Is that Albert Ayler's "Ghosta" they take off from?
💥🎼🎵🎶🎵🎵🎼🎶🎼💥
"Watanao Sadanabe" (LOL).
+BigBrotherBalboa That little bit of transposition cracked me up, too.
Yes that was funny. What an amazing document.
I love all kinds of music but stuff like this is completely beyond me. It gives me anxiety.
For the Chew-Z listener...
que adelantado a su epoca
Turn up the vocals.
100% Don Moye on drums!!! woooonderful ensemble
Surprising, intense
Time for a duet w
Yolo onp
This is why George Benson decided to become a mainstream Top-40 star.
Who’s the bass player?
06:36
Sounds like Sun Ra
Sonny sounded best on this es175.
Afro Yoko?
Maintenant à la télé t'as du Angèle ou du Lomepal...
Allwats loved SS. Straight after Eddie Cochran.
?????????
Yoko Ono must love this
u monk ey
I was thinking the same thing
She is sonny Yoko.
someone get this woman a tylenol please
I loved Sonny, but I'm just not into the Yoko Ono-style vocals.
+Dave Lanciani (Dimaension X) Understood
This is the essence of REAL BLUES!!!
oh well. tell us what else you don't like. we're just dying to know.
Black Woman is one of the most amazing peices of music I've ever heard.
Yoko Ono-inventor of REAL BLUES VOCALS.
Linda Sharrock makes this sadly unlistenable.
Yoko Ono of jazz, I can't comprehend.
Black Yoko.
Fringe!
jeez... the black yoko....
Not Music but noise for intellectual !
C'est de la daube totale, heureusement il y avait autre chose dans le free...
I call bullshit
This is what happens when you pass drugs round to the entire band.
I came here because Premiere Guitar painted Sonny as a great musician, I'm not hearing much beyond frenetic chording and screaming.
Jim Sites check out his album 'ask the ages' its much more traditionally musical than this but still has his distinct sound
I Love this Style of Music, but Like all Cult Artists, he IS sometimes overhyped. He was Back then a Protege of Herbie Mann, which most Sonny Sharrock Cultist shamefully neglect.

Yoko Ono on ??vocals?? wrecked the whole performance...............
Terrible.
Musique de merde
I can't stand his wife! Haha!
Who's on bass??
you’re a moron.
Complete and utter bullshit.
u don't understand atonality do u , it aint supposed to be easy listening its supposed to scare the shit out of you
What the hell did I just waste my time watching?
Something more powerful and soulful than you will ever understand.
@@Daddytang67 Yeah right.....dream on.
@@wallpapermusique Hey, ... if you dont get it, you dont get it. Got it?
you wasted y our time watching listening to the woman who sang what was then stolen and made world famous by yoko and pink floyd, or to put it mildly , borrowed.
Art.
This rules!!!!
A bit pitchy.
