A remastered edition of a 1966 CBS TV Festival series featuring - Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Sunnyland Slim, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee and more . . .
I never stop loving these people. I can watch tis over and over again, and most times I do. What a wonderful thing it would be to go back to those times!❤
Im a new blues fan at 57 years old.. and I'm like where in the world has Blues been at my whole life why haven't I been a Blues fan all along God I love it I don't want to listen anything else
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 I love the blues since I was 18 years old back in the day of 1977. I was a drummer back then and then played Hammond Oregon and Leslie speaker. Recently I started playing harmonica, Mississippi, Delta, blues, Southern, best I was born in South Texas, but live in San Francisco Bay area Northern California in the house❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
It's amazing that I've actually seen all these guys live in the 60's ! Mostly due to the Blues Buses which used to tour the UK in 1966 onwards for a couple of years. We all loved each other and the Guys were amazed they received such love from us especially as in the USA they were sadly still having to 'go to the back of the bus'! I feel blessed that I was born in the 40's and able to grow up with these guys and their music. Lived in the USA for 25 years but now I'm back in the United Kingdom but The Blues is still one of the main 'styles' Thank you USA. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS DIAMOND!
Dixon looks like he’s chilling out swatting flies drinking lemonade on a sweaty southern day. Meanwhile he’s rockin the stand slap style bass that he invented! Damn man, that cool.
My Goodness! What a treat. Thank you very much....in 1966 I was really ignorant of just who made my rock & roll possible......thanks to those pioneers. steve
Brownie plays so smooth and clean, it's hard to believe his licks. Just so clean and not flubbing anywhere. As to Sonny, the harmonica just seems to fit like a glove. Their harmony was incredibly tight; every time I heard them sing it was like they were precise beyond belief. Sonny to piss off Brownie by attempting to overshadow him with the harp. Man I saw and heard some harsh words, but I love these guys. Brownie wherever you are in Heaven, keep on singing until I get there with my Martin too. Lub you guys !!
I beg you pardon, the blues is alive and well. I travel the world and hear it in many countries and many venues. Granted it isnt like the people who play here. How could it be. I saw Howling Wolf in NYC, forget it, I can't come close. All I can do is write some new ones and hobble along. Big Chief
a blues song revolves around a single point... and that point regardless of the singer.. revolves in all our lives.. that's why all races relate and love the Blues.... thank you dude!
I was able to sit and listen to this in entirety.. How wonderful it is to take a trip back in time..this music documentary was put together beautifully..if made me laugh, cry, understand.. Thank you for posting this...
It's almost incomprehensible that this program was originally on a major network. I was a 7 year old kid when this was on and still ten years away from discovering this music for myself. I was lucky enough to see Muddy, Willie and Sunnyland. Sunnyland I could see on a weekly basis at a dive called B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted. In Chicago of course. Still a lot of great players in this town.
It wasn't on CBS. That's a typo. It was on CBC in Canada. They brought all these players in to CBC Studios on Jarvis St. in Toronto. First time most of them had played together
I love it all especially the blues,country rock Classics, it all boils down to one thing it's all blues, I don't care how they did the music listen to it, it the blues, I love it all because to me music is a treasure no matter what it is,music soothes the soul like beer,wine whiskey, bourbon, weed, whatever floats your boat it makes that person feel good when they hear good music.
This was my proudest moment at CBC - had the pleasure of supervising the remastering the original 2" Ampex tapes on one of the only surviving 2" recorders on the planet down in CBC's vaults. I was just the Unit Manager but the producer knew I'd spent the preceding 30 years playing in a blues band around Toronto and Ms.Paton permitted me to choose songs and takes of songs from among many hours of available material. These takes are but a fraction of the recordings made of the sessions recorded in CBC Toronto's Studio #4 over the course of two days.
All thanks to Rockerfella and his pals, screwing around with negative frequencies man. But Beauty Love and Truth coming shining through in the unappreciated buskers, tin pot performers and Jeffrey Lee Pierce
Thanks....what a great way to spend best part of an hour,sheer class beginning to end, had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Sonny and Brownie back awhile 1971 I'm thinking 🤔 yes, in a field in Lincolnshire England,along with the Byrd's, James Taylor, Tom Paxton, and I especially enjoyed Buffy Saint Marie,+ many British artists, Martin Carthy+Dave Swarbrick, Pentangle the incredible string band, and Ralph McTell opened the proceedings. Fuck. ! It's only 52 years ago !
Speaking of Colin James, I got a chance to jam with Colin at the Sanderson Centre in Brantford On. I got up and played Harp, a great time, a great band and a great memory!
Its Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for this exceptional treat. These were the pioneers that laid the groundwork for the british invasion ten years later
When I was 12 we had a record of Sonny Terry and Bobby McGee , that’s when I became very interested in the blues and have always been a fan since then. I have been to many festivals since then and have quite a large collection of records and cd’s right up to today.I’m now 77 and love it even more. Will be going to Byron blues festival again next Easter.
Thank you for the post. I have the DVD and it's very hard to find, so you are doing a public service. I get a sense of both loss and of joy at the closing number knowing that the world will never see the likes of them again; but at the same time we know that they were here and made a difference in music that will last long after the fads of today have faded away.. Thank You.
Zedge Chicago you should tune in to blues before sunrise on Sunday mornings from midnight until 5:00 on public radio. If you don't sleep during those hours. If you do you might be able to get it on tape or find a way to stream it on the internet. Different show every week and they have gospel and sometimes pigmeat Markham. You can learn a lot.
il est incroyable de constaté a qu' elle point les pionniers du rock'n'roll ont repiquer des chansons qui parfois avaient pour certaines déjà 10 ou 15 d existence . Mais ce document est formidable car en plus d être une piqûre de rappel le blues et le rock'n'roll existait bien avant toutes nos idoles elvis eddy buddy gêne jerry et cach et les autres blancs ceci dit Elvis est celui par qui cette musique sera reconnue par le mondes entiers . Alors qu' avant elle n était reconnue que par les peuples noirs mercis a eux d avoirs aventer cette grande musiques et respect.
This band has the best lineup ever ,they all were excellent bluesmen in their own regard, I picked up a harmonica in 1970 because of these guys and it's been riding in my shirt pocket ever since ,my most trusted friend,
Welp, in another 30 years maybe You just maybe a good imitation of Little Walter. I'm still trying to get my Hubert Sumlin going on..........I get close at times but..........
This right here is what makes youtube so great, to sit down and find live the GREAT blues musicians like this, easily is an amazing thing! Just watched some Mississippi John Hurt I had never knew existed, Wow!
'Finished my hitch in '66. The Navy couldn't keep me from gettin' back to the city where I didn't expect to miss a thing. Mind you Sonny Terry and Brownie Magee played a certain coffee house outside of Halifax quite frequently back then and I could catch all the blues I wanted late at night on the radio. The signals from the deep south wafted in and out... on up the coast to the Nova Scotia shores. One of my Navy buddies recorded these early greats on his borrowed Revox reel-to-reel. History!
I;m pretty sure this is from the CBC in Toronto. In 1966 the CBC gathered all of the great blues artist to perform at the same time in one place. It had never been done before. There is a show called The Vault in the CBC archives which shows the whole live show. They showed it on TV a short while back.This may have been remastered for CBS, but it originated from the CBC. Just for the record it was 1966 U.S. racism that prevented all of these blues greats from performing together on TV. The CBC is Canadian.
Just pure feeling, blues inspires, elevates you, take your soul to paradise, super wonderfully harmonious music and beautiful ... "Life is a Blues, feel those guitar chords, tell me if not moved ...
Anyone else love this music as much as I do?
Yeah but their all too busy heavy listening to type any crap..musics phenomenal.
I can assure you that you most certainly have competition
In good nature
Yep
Otis was the man
I got to see Sonny and Terry live...shakes your soul.
I love these classics. What: nice time... I was still born but I like it a lot!!!! Greetings from Argentina.
I love the blues and jazz. I thank God for the men that have brought these great sounds to our ears.❤😮😅😊
it's music that doesn't age, but is always current no matter how old it is
And no matter where you are... I'm a Brazilian Blues fanatic...
Look at them get down! I’m so proud to own land in Mississippi, birthplace of the blues and rock and roll.
HOLA, The music belongs to all. Tanks God.
Fantastic! Godbless you life

And, to think about what passes for popular music in 2023. It's is just stomach turning.

Otis Spann!......one of the best ever. Deep and wide.
Your so badass for putting this together, Thanks!
from Brazil listening to old school blues . whenever you are the blues Will never die.
I think Muddy Waters and James Cotton on this video is my all time favourite blues performance
Can't have the blues without Muddy Waters hard to beat when it comes to original Blues
Those men have put the S in Soul.
Lord have mercy 🥺
a blues song revolves around a single point... and that point regardless of the singer.. revolves in all our lives.. that's why all races relate and love the Blues.... thank you dude!
Kholose Curwen Every Good song 👍👍😀
Talent on the job!
I was raised on the blues and dusty in needed this SO BAD! I can't thank you enough it's been 30 years.
The Gold era and the GOLD MASTERS! I'm baptized in MUDDY WATERS! A day without BLUES it's worthless for me!
That’s right

Sonny Terry has probably the greatest ad-lib in blues, 17:30 that whooooouoh... always gets me... so smooth...
Just pure feeling, blues inspires, elevates you, take your soul to paradise, super wonderfully harmonious music and beautiful ... "Life is a Blues, feel those guitar chords, tell me if not moved ...
This is a jewell; people can't just copy this kind of music"!
Super ,spasibo from Guatemala .
