- One of my favorite Shindig clips featuring Howlin' Wolf backed by the Shindig house band featuring Billy Preston on the Piano, Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves & The Wolf is amazing. Start dancing to this fine piece of rock history. Turn up the volume!
The Stones were quite proud of themselves for insisting Wolf be on the show . Look what a fantastic performance Wolf put on for those kids. It introduced the Blues to mainstream America. Wolf could always blow the harp pretty well too !
Brian Jones really gets the credit for this. He revered the great blues artists, including Howlin' Wolf. He was completely in his element on this show.
This is why I respect the Stones so much. They tried to not leave their influences behind in obscurity as they got fame, and instead tried to lift them up alongside them.
Just incredible. I love the legend of the Stones forcing the wolf on the TV execs. No one has ever been better than Howling' Wolf.
I remember seeing this exact episode of Shindig. I was 15 and couldn't believe Brian Jones told Jack to shut up! My first time seeing the Wolf. Wow! Got to see him live a couple of times later in the decade. Quite a thrill.
Only time the Wolf appeared on prime time national television. A few years later Wolf’s wife said how moved he was when Mick Jagger stopped a show and had the lights put on to say that in the audience that night was the man who was responsible for them being where they were such was his influence. The whole audience applauded and he was moved to tears.
The Stones promoted their blues idols (unlike Zep who just ripped them off).
Shin dig is a African American culture saying! Howling Wolf should've been invited rather or not the stones took a stance!
Brian Jones arranged this. If it weren't for him, this would not have happened.
Look at this mans eyes.....he's been there.

RIP Howlin' Wolf (June 10, 1910 - January 10, 1976), aged 65
This is the origins of your rock & roll ,where it came from.
The smile -- glee - anticipation on Brian Jones' face is so wonderful!
Oh, my gosh. Why wasn't Shindig awarded an Emmy? This segment from Howlin Wolf is AMAZING.
Many people have wondered who was in the band here besides Billy Preston on piano and James Burton on guitar. It was Larry Knechtel on bass and Mickey Conway on drums. I interviewed them about this show, and they both remembered it fondly. Knechtel and Conway were very busy session men in the 1960s and 1970s. Knechtel also played piano and won a Grammy for playing the piano part on "Bridge Over Troubled Water" for Simon and Garfunkel. Conway played on countless sessions. He was a hell of a drummer, as you can hear here!
What a powerhouse! Of all the blues men that have come and gone he's the one I wish I could have seen live.
Brian seemed like a very soft spoken man. Very sad it ended for him the way it did 😥😥😪😪😢😢😢😢
Howlin Wolf was a "Great Bluesman"!!!! 👍💞
From their earliest days, the Stones considered themselves missionaries for bringing the blues to a wider audience. This is the full realization of that effort. God bless 'em for doing what they did.
