Overrated? Dude he's had a longer career than you've been alive. The King himself called him the best Blues player. Dude is a three time Hall of Famer, more than some of your favourite bands. Don't disrespect the man again your Gibson riding wombat
@@zivkovicable You think Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, John Mayall, Duane Allman, etc. would have bothered playing with him if he was overrated? Get a fucking life...
How Blue Can You Get was originally released around 1947-48 by Johnny Moore's Three Blazers under its original title "Brokenhearted Blues, but as we all know, it became of of B.B's signature tunes
I heard and interview with Ray Charles when the Blues Brothers movie came out. He said "These guys have done more for the Blues than any other promoter I know" I remember this time and even non Blues lovers started to go out and buy Blues albums. Many peoples careers were re-ignited. It was an amazing time.
Love seeing Charlie Musselwhite plan the harmonica the man never got enough credit that he deserved. He was amazing as such as all of them on stage are.
The look of pure joy in Eric Clapton's face at 4:25 is priceless! The guys he's jammed with in his long glorious career is awesome! This clearly must have been one of the best moments of his life!
one of the greatest assemblages of blues musos to ever hit a stage ... Hollywood can be thanked for this to amend for the billions they waste on pure bull ,,, i listen in 2018 too !!
This was played on a Sunday morning Public Radio station in Richmond, Virginia. I sat in my car with a BIG smile. I am extremely pleased to see the video. Man, oh man, there are a lot of performers here. I am one of the old guys who love to read the credits on the back of record albums. Yep, someone here listed the players. Thanks to all contributors.
They look like they are genuinely having a ball playing together. This still gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it, what a role call of talent. To have been an extra in that scene...lucky SOB's.
The Blues Brothers Band, the band that backs Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, has members of Booker T. & the MG's, just one of the two most important R&B/soul bands on Earth (the other being The Funk Brothers) - Clapton, Steve Winwood, Dr. John never got/get tired to pay respects to all of them every chance they get - and Paul Shaffer (from Letterman's show) as musical director so their network is endless. Also, this scene is from the second movie, "Blues Brothers 2000," so by that time it was already a strong enough brand to attract people. Of course, the first one has also a respectable amount of guest musicians but this one has even more musical guests lol
John DeJarnette on drums, Travis Tritt on guitar, Charles Musselwhite on harp, Isaac Hayes vocals, Grover Washington and Clarence Clemons on sax! Can't get any better.
Dan Ackroyd has done many a thing in his life… And many of those are worth of praise….. but getting all those guys together for blues brothers 2000 has to be up there..
The fact that Jimmy vaughn, bb king, Travis tritt, Steve winwood, Dr John, billy Preston, koko taylor, Paul shaffer.. and the beautiful horn section together is crazy
@@ninjavigilante5311 yeah and you can never gather this band since at least the half of these legends are long gone already. The movie was soso but the music is seriously superb
@@ninjavigilante5311Not crazy, that's how much respect The Blues Brothers Band (essentially the Stax Records house band, Booker T. & the MG's) have among all of these people... the careers of half of them wouldn't have existed without the five guys scoffing the band at the start of the video that practically created R&B in the 50s/60s... and are terrible actors lmao (they are some members of The MG's)
It's fun to discover who they are: behind Clapton we have Chef from "South Park," for example lol (Isaac Hayes, if you don't already know, of course)... the first movie has one heII of a band, also.
Watching this literally brings tears to my eyes. Getting over the fact many of these cats have now passed away. To capture that many legends on stage in a epic performance. Just don’t see this very often.
The massive smile on everyone's faces just says it all. From the crowd to the musicians, so much talent on one stage and they wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Clarence Clemons passed January 11, 1942 - June 18, 2011 Bo Diddley passed December 30, 1928 - June 2, 2008 Isaac Lee Hayes passed August 20, 1942 - August 10, 2008 B. B. King passed September 16, 1925 - May 14, 2015 Billy Preston passed September 2, 1946 - June 6, 2006 Louis Rawls passed December 1, 1933 - January 6, 2006 Koko Taylor passed September 28, 1928 - June 3, 2009 Grover Washington Jr. passed December 12, 1943 - December 17, 1999
There is zero hatred or prejudice in that room; everyone together for the love of the music no matter the background - exactly how it should be. Today - there would be enormous backlash claiming cultural appropriation.
@@krimpoo Maybe not in the attending crowd or musicians, but rest assured there are perpetually affended people that would take issue with people of certain ethnic backgrounds emulating a "style" that "wasn't invented" by them.
@@tuck9799 ...naw. Yer' talking about a miniscule number of people and you can just ignore them. Some idiot politician or podcaster convinced you to be worried about something that is a non factor in life. Its a distraction to keep you from reacting to real evil in the world.
Are you not familiar with Eric Clapton? Today there would be widespread acceptance of this massive display of talent. Doesn’t mean that cultural appropriation is nonexistent. This is shared musical “cultural diversity”.
Couldnt resist. Here are all the players, thanks to Prof Google: The members are: B.B.

Thank you soooo much! Some of us younger people don't know all the amazing artists that just low-key do cameos in the blues brothers movies, bur would love to know more about them! So thank you!
The last 15 minutes of this film and the music playing over the credits are the only reason to watch ‘Blues Brothers 2000’. All that talent, good Lord, I almost die every time I view this clip. Dayum....
Man i was like 7first time watching i didnt care about a plot just the musicwas enough to make me watch 1000times and what kid doesnt like a 100car chase lol
Man i love Blues Brothers 2000, start to finish. It's simple and sends so much of a positive vibe if only you slow down and enjoy it. Watching those racist neo-confederates get rekt is magical as well.
i remember i bought a tickets for the last show he did in paris 1 year in advance, between when i bought it and the concert i has a surgery to remove nails from my knee, that was there since 2 years,that was a very heavy surgery in order to rebuild my knee, and made me unable to walk for like 9 month and it hitted me mentally pretty hard, normally i should have been able to walk like a charm 1 month after the removal, but things too way longer than planned, and i missed this concert, i'm do angry when i think about this
There aren't enough musicians of this caliber to fill a stage today. Just my humble opinion. After all these years since it came out, I still frequently listen to Briefcase Full of Blues and it remains one of the greatest albums of any genre of all time. Those were the days.
I especially miss b.b. my mom's first cousin, taught me how to play guitar.I would sit in when the annual Blues fest came to Greenville, Mississippi. Good times in my younger days.
So it’s last August 2021 an I know many of these amazing talents are gone now! But just say thank you for the lasting gift of your Music! I’m a 47 yr old wife/Mom an all the Blues Brothers Movies have always been favorite of mine! I have no Musically talent whatsoever but I’m drawn to all these all awesome Musical Movies! Just can’t beat great movie with so much awesome music!
I was in 6th grade when I first saw this movie... Must have watched it a hundred times over the next few weeks.l with my dad who was the lead singer of a local Jazz Band... I didn't know most of these guys but I knew this was good music... It's 2018 and I have this movie as well as the first one on my laptop and I watch them whenever I want some "good feels"... The only thing missing is I wish my dad were still around to watch it with me... Good times...
The unmatched unity of talent ever on stage at one time or movie .... that makes this the greatest music movie of all times for me! Gator boys..💖 R.I.P. to all who left us this in memory.
This was so totally mind-blowingly awesome when I first saw it in the movie, I have to come back to re-watch it over and over again just for the rush. To start with, with B.B. King as the lead in what is clearly an all-star "Who's who!" in music, is just incredibly amazing. I went to his concerts more than I went to see any single other performer (and "dumped" a girlfriend when I'd spent half a week's pay to buy tickets to see him and Ray Charles together, and she wouldn't go!), and he's always blown me away. But to have this incredible assemblage of superstars of the era was just beyond anything one would ever expect from even the best of musical dramas. THIS was what made BB2 more than a worthy successor to the original movie, when so many other sequels fall flat.
Thank you Dan aykroyd. Most of them here or now and the Lord's blues band. Thank you for putting them all together, so we have memories of good old school talent.
When Isaac Hayes is your backup singer, you know you got a pretty desscent band
November 2024 listening to this master piece...
This belongs in the Hall of Fame for all Music. Legends all over the stage. RIP to those who have passed.
Amen 🙏🏻💯
B.B king maestro del blues
Yes, it does!! Wonderful Bb King., Eric Clapton, and the others! Wow!!
I know right! Just awesome.
I'll concede if you add the combined powers of the Louisiana gator boys and the blues brothers in the next song
When Eric Clapton is the 3rd best blues guitarist in your band, you know it's lit.
never understood why we need to rank musicians versus one another, but catch your drift.
4th. best.....& he's way behind the rest...Overrated.
i wish racist clapton would just fuck off .... he certainly does not deserve the praise he gets...... average at best
Overrated? Dude he's had a longer career than you've been alive. The King himself called him the best Blues player. Dude is a three time Hall of Famer, more than some of your favourite bands. Don't disrespect the man again your Gibson riding wombat

RIP BB King, Clarence Clemmons, Koko Taylor, Issac Hayes,Lou Rawls and Dr John who preformed the vocals and the sax in this song.
100 billion dollars worth of talent on that stage
Eric Orrand *at least.
I doubt there will ever be a movie to have so many music legends in one scene!
I'm fair sure they did it free? I read somewhere they wanted in and not the other way round
The Blues Brothers were robbed! ;-P
Eric Orrand you know it!
The Louisiana Gator Boys is one hell of a super band
"I bought you a $10 dollar dinner" That was released in 1964 so would have been a hell of a dinner bill
It's just a super band it's the Ultimate Super Band to end all Super bands..
Every music genre is there a great song and led by the legend BB King.
How Blue Can You Get was originally released around 1947-48 by Johnny Moore's Three Blazers under its original title "Brokenhearted Blues, but as we all know, it became of of B.B's signature tunes
Still checking this clip out in 2021!

He said "These guys have done more for the Blues than any other promoter I know" I remember this time and even non Blues lovers started to go out and buy Blues albums. Many peoples careers were re-ignited. It was an amazing time.
Trust me! The Blues are still around live and kickin'.
They did redraw the Map casted in places that needed the Blue s just saying
Love seeing Charlie Musselwhite plan the harmonica the man never got enough credit that he deserved. He was amazing as such as all of them on stage are.
If I woke up one day and saw this band playing I would know that I died and went to heaven.
Some Sanctified Sheet for sure.
The look of pure joy in Eric Clapton's face at 4:25 is priceless! The guys he's jammed with in his long glorious career is awesome! This clearly must have been one of the best moments of his life!
Thats they young Eric coming out. Love it when you can see him enjoying his music
Wish I could have been there
Whoever said Avengers was the most ambitious cross-over ever has probably never seen nor acknowledged this movie
Movie?

see it.
Show of hands. Who still in 2017 listens to this music created by one of the baddest blues bands to never tour? 🤚
one of the greatest assemblages of blues musos to ever hit a stage ... Hollywood can be thanked for this to amend for the billions they waste on pure bull ,,, i listen in 2018 too !!
I'm here in '18. And will be in '19, '20, '21...
Oldscule62 i still do in 2018...still tear up with this ensemble.. Pure magic
Hi I'm from the future
Love this movie and the talent. Nothing like any more.
The talent on the stage will and can never be matched, sadly so many are now gone.
Just missing Jeff Beck here.
We are the world was pretty epic, though..
@@JoshuaRansom007 was just gonna say that
The fact that they actually left a full live cut of a performance in the movie is awesome
RIP to the "Nite Tripper" of the Gator Boys....the incredible Dr. John...
Gris gris gumbo ya ya. A chant to raise the dead.

You notta kidding....
I agree. Lucky. So fun.
you can watch an concert with BB and he's always happy
Nothing adds more to a band/song than a horn section that breaths hot fire.
Todays music is missing the horns, for sure
That's one of the best lines I've ever read
"A horn Section that could turn goat piss into wine"
true dat!!!!!
How did they get so much talent on stage at once?!?
Dan Akroyd
they just asked
The Blues Brothers Band, the band that backs Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, has members of Booker T. & the MG's, just one of the two most important R&B/soul bands on Earth (the other being The Funk Brothers) - Clapton, Steve Winwood, Dr. John never got/get tired to pay respects to all of them every chance they get - and Paul Shaffer (from Letterman's show) as musical director so their network is endless.

$$$ helps too!
And keeping their own Legacy alive
Matt Guitar Murphy played with Howlin' Wolf, Junior Parker and Memphis Slim, and brother Floyd was no slouch either as a bluesman
Steve Winwood, Joshua Redman, Grover, Eric Clapton, and BB... all of the stars in the heavens were in alignment that evening.
John DeJarnette on drums, Travis Tritt on guitar, Charles Musselwhite on harp, Isaac Hayes vocals, Grover Washington and Clarence Clemons on sax! Can't get any better.
I guess the blues has a way of bringin us together.
Hownmany times can I like this? One of the best ever. BB was the King.
Dan Ackroyd has done many a thing in his life… And many of those are worth of praise….. but getting all those guys together for blues brothers 2000 has to be up there..
2024,Excellent, thanks for posting this!
I wish movies like this were still being made. The blues brothers 1 and 2 are some of my favorite movies
Best part of that movie. Wish I could like this a million times. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This might be the greatest band ever assembled. I sincerely wish they had actually recorded an album.
Sweet Awesome Blues
This a All Star Classic! It’s hard to explain, but absolutely beautiful…
That opening lick from Eric has gotta be one of the tastiest displays of blues pentatonic switching ever. Still blows my mind to this day
As a kid watching this movie I had no idea how gorgeous this band is. Only person I recognized was Eric Clapton because my mom was his fan lol
The fact that Jimmy vaughn, bb king, Travis tritt, Steve winwood, Dr John, billy Preston, koko taylor, Paul shaffer.. and the beautiful horn section together is crazy

That's not the Mythbusters guy, it's Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, of the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan.

Who and how could you put a bunch like this together? .....but the joy it brings....... priceless
Can’t imagine life without music
Wow. I never m knew about this. I’m 61 and still finding cool things!!!
A masterpiece...What else can you say?
Still watching in 2020. Some of the greatest voices and musicians in one room.
Bo Diddy and Dr John are in this!

We can thank Dan Aykroyd for reintroducing Blues to the American public in the 70s when Disco music was all the rage
I don't care what type of music you love or hate. You have to appreciate this performance.
Wow legends to the right, and legends to the left.
No clowns .
No jokers .

Gotta admit, too, that Erykah Badu was also pretty awesome eye candy, in addition to being an incredible performer in her own right ........ 😉
Took my kids to see BB king in Branson mo in 2008. It’s a time in history they will never forget.
Love the look Skunk Baxter gives Charlie Musselwhite! Also Lou Rawls... butter
Doesn't get any better than this.
Thank you Dan aykroyd. Most of them here or now and the Lord's blues band. Thank you for putting them all together, so we have memories of good old school talent.
