I love how Elwood is singing, and Jakes just standing there giving the "pissed off stare" LoL
+Ryan Redinger And Elwood looks so happy at 2:02 like he's truly among his people. It's like when he ordered the plain white toast in the cafe - he's by far the whitest, least cool guy in the band. :)
How do you know it's the 'pissed off stare?' You can't see his eyes...
+Ryan Redinger
it cracked me up when I was kid! It still does, actually!
Can we just appreciate Elwood's beautiful baritone in this?
God damn this was a banger of a movie.
It was made to be entertaining to more than than the dummies. Nowadays, movies are made for the dummies. It's a global movie market now.
It's such a tragedy that belushi had died and couldn't do the 2000 movie
@@HardRockMaster7577American ones?
Yeah pretty much, can only agree :3
It's 106 miles to Chicago.. we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes... it's dark and were wearing sunglasses !! ..... hit it ...m best line ever
True that. This film is so good. Direction, acting, comedy and music. One of the best comedies of all time. Akroyd and Belushi had great chemistry!
R.I.P John Belushi. The man could be hilarious without saying a word.
+Jeffrey Hart
Amen to that Thank You Lord for giving us the talent of John Belushi
I am from a country as culturally distant from US as possible.
Saw the movie on TV when I was about 10 or so, during 80s.
And I instantly felled in love with the movie.
This movie contains everything valuable and cherishable about life.
I was exposed to this movie when i was 11-ish in 1981-82. My favorite movie hands down. I laugh just as hard watching it today as i did last century.
43 years have passed since this movie came out. Almost half a century and it still doesn't feel old 😊
Idk about anyone else, but I don't call having $43 being "almost a hundred dollars"
@@j.p.2494 they said almost HALF a century meaning 50 years lmao
"What kind of music do you usually have here?" "Oh, we got both kinds. We got Country *and* Western."
I love how they go from angrily throwing beer bottles to happily throwing beer bottles
This movie is magic. It's not just a comedy, or a musical, something about this film is just on another level. Landis, Aykroyd, Belushi, Stephen M. Katz (cinematographer) were just in the right zone here and it all clicked.
The movie is beautifully shot, the musical numbers are creative, catchy, the star cameos inspired, and it just works. The movie is like a perfect combination of 70s and 80s in American cinema - still retaining the artfulness and poignance of the 70s, but combined with the lighthearted fun that became dominant in the 80s.
Actually, you can almost say the movie waved goodbye to the 70s and kicked down the door on what became the norm in the 80s. 70s was post-Vietnam America, culturally filled with a lot of doubt, most of the biggest or most memorable movies of the decade are somewhat rooted in depression or are dealing with heavy things - One flew over the cuckoo's nest, Godfather, Apocalypse now, Taxi Driver, Rocky, All the president's men, Kramer vs Kramer, etc. 80s iconic movies are in comparison mostly fun and light, or even when it's dramatic, there's some lightness to it - Back to the future, Rain Man, Top gun, Indiana Jones, Beetlejuice, Aliens, Untouchables.
The movie begins with Jake leaving prison, leaving the sad, bad times behind (aka the 70s) and then getting ready to rock n roll and have a good time again (aka the 80s). This movie is like a bridge between the two decades.
It's actually underrated as a piece of art, it's much more interesting and important than it gets credit for.
this is a brilliant theory. just look at ferris bueller's day off, and all the john hughes and brat pack films.
Thanks for bringing up the cinematographer of the blues brothers name as I have been wondering who it was all morning he did a terrific job.
That's extremely intelligent commentary!!! Are you sure you're on the right website, mate???
This movie is a masterpiece. Always young and fresh.
So true, every time I see it it feels like a movement of something great that I want to join

A question from a german guy: what´s the meaning of "off on purpose"? off from a special reason?
Jake, arms crossed, begrudgingly doing the counterpoint in the chorus, is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
This scene had a massive impact on me as an 11 year old. I had just started learning to play the guitar and it never occurred to me that musicians in real life didn't necessarily always know how any random song (in this case, Rawhide) would go and be able to play it on the spot in perfect sync as a band without prior rehearsal. But it made me want to learn as many songs as possible and train my ear. And I have to say that, now, as a full-time musician, it has certainly paid off whenever I have to take requests at gigs 😊
I love how bottles are thrown from start to finish, no matter how emotional the crowd gets, they enjoys their rare night. Love it!
This part is the most positive example of music being so universal. You can literally feel how the song instantly brought all those locals together.
Who remembers watching the television show series Rawhide as a youngster and wanting to go on a cattle drive and eat from a chuckwagon? | Rawhide is an American Western TV series starring Eric Fleming and Clint Eastwood. Spanning 71/2 years, the show aired for eight seasons on the CBS network on Friday nights, from January 9, 1959, to September 3, 1965, before moving to Tuesday nights from September 14, 1965, until December 7, 1965, with a total of 217 black-and-white episodes. The series was produced and sometimes directed by Charles Marquis Warren, who also produced early episodes of Gunsmoke. The show is fondly remembered by many for its theme song 'Rawhide' written by Frankie Lainey. Rawhide was the sixth-longest running American television Western, exceeded only by 8 years of Wagon Train, 9 years of The Virginian, 14 years of Bonanza, 18 years of Death Valley Days, and 20 years of Gunsmoke. - Wikipedia
Never seen an episode of Rawhide in my life but thanks to Jake and Elwood I love the theme tune!
You need to,you will love it instantly (if you like westerns, if not you might not) great show.
@@wildbillharding You can say that again,one of my favorite lines is from "Incident of the widowed dove" when Favor is having a argument with Rowdy and he says "These are the times i wish i had a hickory rod and Rowdy says ,Mr favor, you have two good fists,if its a lesson you wanna teach me just get off that horse" ha ha ha ha ha , i might not have said this verbatim but it was close,great show.

RIP and long live John Belushi (January 24, 1949 - March 5, 1982), aged 33
You will always be remembered as a legend.
They were amazing.... Two comedians ...That went beyond comedy and touched so many.....
As someone from Chicago, couldn't agree more. From a small goofy SNL skit, to World Wide memories.
I am from Bosnia And Herzegovina. It was war in my country 1992-1995 but when no bombing I wached this movie. Now its 2018th and I still Come to wach. No hate in my heart to nobody.
Elwood's final thank you is priceless.
Donald Dunn in the back with the bass is actually playing the song. They all are. What a difference it makes when the band in a movie are actually famous musicians. And both leads are singing. Ah, the old days. This is my favorite cover of Rawhide.
My fav line....
Elwood: "Theme from the tv show Rawhide. (Glass breaks on chicken wire in front of his face) Thank you!"
I must have seen this movie 100 times over the years and it NEVER gets old!
Elwoods's adorable smirk at 2:02 is the best part of this performance in my opinion
It's not the music they'd planned on playing but he's getting into it all the same lol. It's so cute
I never noticed Duck's bass line on Rawhide before. Nice playing!
Just re-release this movie in the theaters. Please
Jennifer Lemming they did a couple years ago for my local theater for one day. It was great
Bad music: Throw some bottles!
Good music: Throw more bottles!
I don't get it...
+The Internet Killed Music No shit. Play a gig in nowheresville, PA for gas money home and you will get it quick. On a different note, this is why you learn every song you can. You never know when you'll need to play it.
Good Phish cover band... get wasted
Bad Phish cover band... get wasted
I don't get it.
We all love the blues brothers ❤❤
2:30 The whip hitting the cigarette. 🤣
It’s all the little touches like this, showbiz at its finest!
What kinda music you do here?
Oh we do both, country AND western!
Dear god this film was hilarious.
My god, this guitar solo is spot on. Could listen to it hour after hour. If only todays musicians could make masterpieces like this.. Best movie ever! 1:52
I love everything about this movie, but there's something about this scene and the one with Aretha Franklin's song 'Think' that I feel so full of emotions. it depicts perfectly how the music gets to everyone no matter who you are or where you're from. I believe that when music gets to you, some very raw instinct kicks in from deep inside, and it's impossible not to move or not to yell. Just look at that good ole truck driver so excited about this song. Perfect!
My ex husband and I promoted a concert with Matt "Guitar" Murphy back in the day. He was the nicest guy and we had a great night. Unfortunately, the camera man failed. No pics at all😢
this movie will never get old to me lol
"That ain' t no Hank Williams song" makes me crack up everytime 🤣🤣🤣
There’s not enough words in the dictionary to describe how much I love that they keep throwing bottles 😂😂😂
I love the comedy in this scene. "Shit, they don't like our music, I got it! Let's play the theme song to some western show, I'm sure they're too drunk to notice anyways...." I love john landis
I was a singer in a rock band in the 80s and 90s. We had to play a country bar one time and we got by with mostly Lynyrd Skynyrd but I pulled Your Cheating Heart out of my hat from when I was twelve singing for my cousin and dad who had a country band in California at the time.
Had this pictured in my mind when NPR was playing "Rawhide" yesterday. When the song ended, the announcer says, "You know, I can't listen to that without thinking of the Blues Brothers".
W Rigg Just like how the Kenny Loggins song “I’m All Right” will forever be associated with “Caddyshack.”
I love how John bellushi doesn't want to sing rawhide and he's just standing there and doing the chorus 😂
My country band (Rawhide) in Kingston, Ontario named for that Tune and Movie. Loved it!
There ain't a single song from this movie that does not appeal to me. It will always remain one of my all time favourites with Jake and Elwood as an unforgettably cute duo.
Probably the best film in history with the staff they had in cinema history - a true classic.
You've got to admit that's a wicked cover of the song! I grew up loving cowboy music like Johnny Horton/Johnny Cash as well as metal, blues, classical, and punk. Oddly enough, I found myself throwing the horns along with this one in the theater decades ago. This is still one of the best comedies ever made. xx
The BEST Blues Brothers Performance
EVER !!! 👍🏻🪙👍🏻
Thank you Albania for giving us this Legend! RIP John Belushi😢
This ain't no Hank Williams....lol. One of my favorite movies ever
The whip is pure genius. He gets a Gauß vor this one.
I love how John just crosses his arms, even though he's upset, he still makes me laugh just doing that
“We’re the Good Ole Blues Brothers Boys Band” love that line 😆
it takes a true musician to be able to adapt to a crowd. remember that people
One of the greatest movies ever made! It kills me when I hear some 25 year old say it wasn't good.
Well to be fair the critics and fans hated it when it came out. Absolutely tanked at the box office. It is really only as the years went on people started appreciate just how much fun the film really was.
@@glenchapman3899 it actually made about $75 million at the box office in 1980
1:00 Rawhide begins!
I don’t even like country music at all but this song is a country song I can listen to all day!!! Love this movie btw!
time..... this is people dancing 11 years before me... im 30 yrs old as of this comment. all we can do is go with the flow keep rollin'
Theme from the TV Show Rawhide
[Crash]
Thank you.
What a classic... R.i.p. John Belushi
Bob's Country Bunker was one of the best concert venues of 80s.
The look on John's face with his arms crossed, epic.
R.I.P Matt Murphy (1929-2018)
R.I.P Donald Dunn (1941-2012)
R.I.P Alan Rubin (1943-2011)
R.I.P John Belushi (1949-1982)
This clip basically gives me a reason to continue truding along this happy road of destiny.
One of the funniest scenes in this movie I felt bad for the chicken wire.
Regardless of their feeling, they throw their bottles. The difference is in the amount of beer/liquor left in the bottle.
If they hate it : Bottle is full as they didn't had time to drink it.
If they hesitate : Bottle is half-full because they took a couple of slips before throwing the bottle out of rage for not knowing if they like it or not.
If they loved it, they throw it empty (if it's not a new one) by the end of the show.
That is if you're at the beginning of the night. By the end... it's pretty much mixed up.
One thing is certain... they throw more bottle than there are people in the room. Beer/liquors companies must really love those guys. XD
Don't feel bad for the wire - it's reinforced titanium kevlar laced with a mythril-unobtainium alloy. See how the bottles break upon hitting it!
How does Belushi's whip grab the cigarette if they are behind the chicken wire?
Rest in peace to John Belushi, Carrie Fisher, John Candy, James Brown, and others that died the last several years.
Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Jeff Morris, Charles Napier, Matt 'Guitar' Murphy, Alan Rubin, and, last but never, ever least--Aretha Louise Franklin. (Her sister Carolyn as well).
@@Juliaflo Don't forget Cab Calloway as well "Hi-di-hi-di-hi-di-hi..."
@@timothyj.harrington8952 Cab Calloway did an awesome rendition of his song Minnie the Moocher for this film
My mum and dad made me love this film and I still watch it all the time.e and I'm only 32 rawhide!!!!!
Fantastic film . I often see this video , it 's funny too. R.I.P. John Bellushi.
I've worked with artists since 1974 and I have always said that anyone who wants to be in a band needs to watch this movie. Carrie Fisher represents the ticked off ex-girlfriend, then you have this scene with a somewhat agitated audience and one of the best parts is after this scene where Jake and Elwood learn that the band consumed more beer than the band got paid because the band "thought" that the drinks were unlimited and free for the performers.The only thing I did not see in this scene was sawdust on the floor. Some of you will know what I am talking about with reference to the sawdust.
A good band can pick up pretty quick on what the audience wants if they know what's good for them.
@@doughesson No it's for the spilled drinks, this isn't a violent club in "da" hood lol
Move 'em on, head 'em up, head 'em up, move 'em on. Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide! Count 'em out, ride 'em in, ride 'em in, count 'em out, count 'em out, ride 'em in, rawhide!
Never noticed the mess up in this scene. When guy is dancing on table you see Jake go for the whip in background. Next shot he’s still standing. Love this movie
I'm so happy I could watch this masterpiece in a cinema in the 1980s...
The Blues Brothers know how to placate and soothe their audience by singing a TV show intro. Brilliant.
Yes....tv theme songs are the best tunes to play for an audience.. because usually the tune will make them smile . I play about six on my channel..
"I don't think so, those lights are turned off on purpose." one of my favorite lines of the movie . up there with "they cant stop us we are on a mission from God".
Μολις βγηκα απο το σινεμα ενοιωθα χαρουμενη οταν πρωτοειδα την ταινια καταπληκτικο συναισθημα μπραβο
They pulled this song off perfectly, from Jake’s “head em up -move em outs”, perfectly timed, to the whip -cracking that is in the end of the real show theme.
It’s a Rockin’ good version of the real theme song at the beginning of the show. 😎😎
I love how Elwood sings. Dan Aykroyd was sooo cute haha well he still is a cutie haha
"That ain't no Hank Williams song!" kills me every, EVERY time.
Jake just standing there like a statue during Rawhide always cracks me up.
Simply the best movie ever a forces favorite to take with us back in the 80's to what ever shithole we were sent to 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Man, this movie is a masterpiece!!!!
Born in late 80s, and have grown to love and appreciate this movie so much more for the music and acting of the two most love able characters of all time, Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues, four fried chickens and a coke......and some white toast please. “Rawhide” scene is classic
So when they don't like the song, they throw bottles at the band, but when they do like the song, they throw bottles at the band?
That's entertainment. I grew up with those boys. Thanks.
2:02 elwood looks so happy
Imagine having Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and Steve Cropper in your band. The licks at the 1:50 mark don't get any better in any genre !!! This was classic, and it's what movies nowadays are missing (in my opinion) just that absolute element of ridiculousness merged with talent and great writing. As a kid from Chicago, this movie was awesome !!!
I hadn't heard them sing before. Great song. Love the whip cracking... it's part of the song.
Hysterical. Classic scene
It’s really amazing how diverse this one country Is too. I’m a God Damn Yankee myself from New York but always appreciate a visit to Texas or somewhere down south where the people are like this. Really get a kick out of it
"So what kind of music do you usually have here at the Country Bunker?"
"Oh, Both kinds: country AND western."
"A, good country key"
I always like that line even though I have no idea if it's actually true
i think i'd agree it's a good key. easy on the fiddle and A is one of those jangly open chords on the guitar.
One of THE BEST movies of ALL-TIME !!!
It's time for a serious electro dance mix of RAWHIDE!!
When in a dilemma and filled with doubt, sing Rawhide.
Family Tradition by Hank Williams Jr. is a good one too. Then pull out anything by Johnny Cash.......
I would watch this movie on repeat all the time when I was little, this one scene would always for some reason be my favorite. One of the most heart breaking moments I remember was when my mom told me the blues brothers weren’t actually real people lmao
They liked them and STILL threw bottles!!! Classic scene!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
i love the fact that the people throw beer no matter what. when they’re mad they throw beer at them and when they like it they still throw the beer at them😂
My father used to wash his hair with shampoo that contained beer. Mabe because of this movie...
Yes haha
The difference is in whether the band can pick up _some_ of the bottles for deposit later. If they throw them with less vigor, you're doing good.
when their mad.... -_- oh boy....
i'm going to throw my beer at you
LMAO. yes you’re totally right.
