@@Dc-re4xy You know I think after John's death his brother Jim should star with Dan in his later films as he carries on the old Belushi and Aykroyd team, you know to keep his brother's legend alive. Here is my list of his later films: 1 Twilight Zone the Movie (prologue) (1983) 2 Trading Places (1983) 3 Ghostbusters (1984) 4 Spies Like Us (1985) 5 Dragnet (1987) 6 The Great Outdoors (1988) 7 Ghostbusters 2 (1989) 8 Nothing But Trouble (1991) 9 Cone Heads (1993) 10 Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) What do you think it would be like?
@@andykaufmansgirl1974 So am I But you know I think Jim should be with Dan Aykroyd in his later films to keep his legend alive - from Ghostbusters to Blues Brothers 2000 - Can you imagine what it would be like if he takes John's place after his death and to see the old Belushi Aykroyd team living on?
JOhn Belushi was an incredible talent...but what a collaboration he and Dan made together...and that pairing made a very profound impact to the world of Blues, and the world of music in general.
This was one amazing night. I'll never forget it ... Ive always loved the Blue's Brother's and was blown away to become part of the show when I was surprised to have been pulled out of the audience and brought up on stage to dance with Dan & Jim. Love the St. George and happy to have been able to help in its restoration efforts. I cant wait to return to see another show in one of America's truly great theaters.
What great memories of John Belushi.... Blues Brothers, samurai hotel skit, joe cocker impersonator, the killer bees and of course Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger. We miss you John!
You can easily see the love & affection Dan Aykroyd still has to this day for John Belushi because they were such great friends it’s like they were actually brothers & who knows maybe they are in spirit. Who says you have to be blood related in order to be brothers? I think if 2 men love each other so much that they would do anything for them then they are brothers. No I’m not referring to homosexuality here if that’s what you’re thinking even though I support homosexuals in this case I’m referring about something entirely different & I believe that Dan & John really had this brotherly love for each other which is a beautiful thing.
I ALWAYS love to see dan speak about John, they were true best friends in every sense of the word. WOW at the history in this post too. Awesome! Love it.
Both these guy did so much to bring folks to the musical art called “the blues”. It’s quite amazing that it would take a comedy act to do it, but that’s the way things go sometimes.
I remember where I was when I heard that John Belushi had passed away. I was 16 years old standing at a bus stop at 22nd & Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington DC . How many of you out there can remember where and when you found out. Long live the Blues Brothers!!!!
Dan, what a great story! I have enjoyed you, John and Steve since the very beginning of Saturday Night Live. Great memories and laughs. I saw the Blues Brothers Live at Pine Knob in Detroit. What a blast!
man, I would have loved to be at second City in 1973 and meet those guys, but I was only 8 then. I remember John passing away, I was in high school then.
I wish I could have been at Second City in 73 too but it was 1 year before I was born. I was 7 years old when John Belushi died & I cried too when I heard because he was the greatest funniest talented man you could ever meet. There will never be another man like John Belushi. Thank God we still have Dan Aykroyd & Jim Belushi because I love them too.
I have several memorabilia from that movie it is was and always will be one of my most favorite movies it is in my personal i have seen it more tan 15 times categorie..............
It really blurs the line between art and reality when two brilliant actors can "play musicians" and be so successful! They were knock-out entertainers and could electrify a crowd by "playing" musicians. (They got a lot of help from Paul Schaeffer and the All-Star Show Band) Ackroyd repeats the message from Briefcase Full of Blues that this is America's greatest export. Blues, Rhythm and Blues. It appeals to all humans.
Dear Dan, If john could have been saved somewhere along the way, what do you think he would be doing today, still doing blues with you, movies and such?🤔
my first thought on seeing them was that they were the RHYTHM and Blues Bros since so much of what they did was Stax Volt type material.Tho I like him,there is,for me a degree in Ackroyd of a self mythologizing/legendizing humble sounding words that are a shade disingenuous somehow, Take off the shades and speak from the heart instead of as a tour guide to the legend you wish to impress us with
I'd like it better if John Belushi survived the drug overdose because he'd be with Dan Aykroyd in the later films and this is my top twelve list of them: 1 Twilight Zone the Movie (1983) 2 Trading Places (1983) 3 Ghostbusters (1984) 4 Spies Like Us (1985) 5 Dragnet (1987) 6 The Great Outdoors (1988) 7 Ghostbusters 2 (1989) 8 Nothing But Trouble (1991) 9 Sneakers (1992) 10 Coneheads (1993) 11 Sergeant Bilko (1996) 12 Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)

House remember news after school you riding in front of johns hearse. That rare winter skit of John dancing on everybodys graves is so eerily creepy .Im sure you miss them all dearly i know i do ...take care Todd lee Hower Portage Lakes Akron Ohio
dan and john could have been the abbott and costello of the 80's. farley and spade could have been the abbott and costello of the 90's. it seems were doomed 2 lose our greats
John Belushi first took drugs only as self medicine for a football injury he had. Unfortunately his drug taking escalating from that to full addiction.
Everything is relative. Some people sin more than others. Don't clump a low level sinner amongst a high level sinner. Doing that...would be down right stupid.
So... when your kid lies and says they didn't eat that cookie, they're going into your lake of fire? Or if you're friend says to you that you've done a good job when you didn't... they're going into your lake of fire? The wage of sin is death? Is that your theory why everyone dies, because they've sin? If you didn't sin, you'd live forever? Are you single? What do you do for a living?
Always find it's hillarious that people who follow a religion that are so happy to jump up and down, pointing fingers screaming SINNER are the ones to forget that little passage in that book you keep thumping that says "Judge not lest you be judged". How a religion supposedly based on love for your fellow man can spew so much hate, I'll never know. I feel little but pity for you, because you've corrupted something wonderful to support your own hatred of those around you.
They were literally like brothers. Thank God Danny is still with us! Aykroyd has done some brilliant work.
Dan your the man. Bless you. A true friend to John. 💚
John and Dan were such a great duo. It's a shame they couldn't do more.
Well said. 👍.

The Blues Brothers was my introduction to blues and great music. Will never forget the Blues Brothers! Even went as Elwood for Halloween when I was 11
I was a huge John Belushi fan. he packed in a lifetime of fun and memories for his short time with us. tremendous talent.
JOhn Belushi was an incredible talent...but what a collaboration he and Dan made together...and that pairing made a very profound impact to the world of Blues, and the world of music in general.
Thank you, Danny, for carrying on the legacy of Mr. Belushi. Your partner, friend, and brother.

We love and miss Belushi however we still got and love Dan. Thank you gentlemen.
The Blues Brothers movie is one of the best movies of all times. Anyone who studies American culture, has got to see the movie!

Never been a fan of the blues, but I will always adore and revere Dan Aykroyd.
If you like Rock and Roll, you like the Blues...
@@ffjsb As a bass player, I disagree.
Dan, You will always be the brother from another mother. May you two, as well as the Blues and Rock N Roll, live on forever,

John is my inspiration and I miss him dearly.

DPJTRON I was 15 and buying comic books at the local store when they announced it on the radio.
I was both surprised and disappointed...
Dan, what a great story! I have enjoyed you, John and Steve since the very beginning of Saturday Night Live. Great memories and laughs. I saw the Blues Brothers Live at Pine Knob in Detroit. What a blast!
Love you forever, Johnny and Danny...forever. Thank you both for everything.

I cried. I think I was just out of high school.

Heroin sucks
Thanks for all the great blues music over the years
They truly lived it and they enjoyed it what memories they made history 😎💯🍻👍🤓🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One of my all time favorite movie moments is when Cab Calloway and the band switch to the white outfits and Cab sings Minnie the Moocher.
RIP JOHN BELUSHI!
Thank you Dan for the memories with the man.
Dan is a class act
First time I have seen this.. I find this really moving.. It's like confessions of Elwood.. God bless The Blues Brothers!
I have several memorabilia from that movie it is was and always will be one of my most favorite movies it is in my personal i have seen it more tan 15 times categorie..............
I could spend hours listening to Aykroyd. Just give him a microphone and let him go. Thank you Dan.
Something about John he just radiated comedy just by his presence
😎😃
What a fucking legend
Never will 4get that day.
I have a VHS cassette where Dan and Elwood where being interviewed about the Blues Brothers after John passed.
A lot of us grew up on Saturday night live. People would gather at our house every Saturday. Now I don't know if it was the company or the free weed
"WE FELL IN LOVE..." AWWW :)
I had no idea Steve Martin played such a critical role.
I love Johnny, I love Danny - The passage of Time can never alter what they meant, what they did and what they changed. =)
St. Patrick's High School - on Alta Vista, in Ottawa, was Dan's High School......right next door to mine - Ridgemont High.
Ah shucks Dano, I teared up. I'm a tail dragger too baby. Go Canada!
I'm watching The Blues Brothers right now when they'in the toy store with the blues mobile yeah its awsome whilewatching him talking

bring the band back together
Awesome
so sweet ... love you
I can't...I wasn't born yet lol. But, I sure do love John Belushi.
I think Dan Ackroyds great! Its a close contest between him and Stephen Fry in who I would like as my ideal uncle!
My bro died similar 1988 aged 29. I know how it feels. ,😢
Dear Dan, If john could have been saved somewhere along the way, what do you think he would be doing today, still doing blues with you, movies and such?🤔
JOHN RIP IN PEACE
Fine monologue Danny
Saw some great shows at the Sunset HOB.
to all haters and hypocrites......the one who has not sinned may cast the first stone....
W John W
can't replace this duo--too bad John went too soon
hi rip John the best movie star
I was three years old when John died,in fact the same precise date March 5th 1982 my grandmother on my mom's side passed away
Classy statement from Akroyd.
my first thought on seeing them was that they were the RHYTHM and Blues Bros since so much of what they did was Stax Volt type material.Tho I like him,there is,for me a degree in Ackroyd of a self mythologizing/legendizing humble sounding words that are a shade disingenuous somehow, Take off the shades and speak from the heart instead of as a tour guide to the legend you wish to impress us with
Dan. Lets make BB 2020. I can help you.
Does anyone know what key of harmonica Dan played love that particular sound
💙
Where was the first HoB??
I'd like it better if John Belushi survived the drug overdose because he'd be with Dan Aykroyd in the later films and this is my top twelve list of them:
1 Twilight Zone the Movie (1983)
2 Trading Places (1983)
3 Ghostbusters (1984)
4 Spies Like Us (1985)
5 Dragnet (1987)
6 The Great Outdoors (1988)

8 Nothing But Trouble (1991)
9 Sneakers (1992)
10 Coneheads (1993)
11 Sergeant Bilko (1996)
12 Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)
LOl grow up people and just remember the great comedian JOHN BELUSHI was and still is! :)
It's a shame Belushi died before he could do Blues Brothers 2
we need a new blues brothers movie! I'm having withdrawal
RJ 1999 I don't know about that. Ever seen Blues Brothers 2000? Not exactly the best. On top of that, two of the band members have since passed away.
bluebear1985 2000 wasn't all that bad for not having Belushi in it.
Yeah, now they'll never get Mr. Fabulous back ;( Or Jake
RJ 1999 or Duck
They would at least have to get jim Belushi to be in it at least

JOHNNY & DANNY 4EVER.
TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES.
DON'T WORRY JOHNNY, SOMEDAY JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED FOR YOU.
YOUR KILLERS WILL BE SEEING THE RAHKSASHAS.
Belushi just went into space with the aliens. Ask Dan.
dan and john could have been the abbott and costello of the 80's. farley and spade could have been the abbott and costello of the 90's. it seems were doomed 2 lose our greats
Can anyone tell me what there fave blues brother is
It's Jake ... hands down
What do you do for a living?
Was I the only one that noticed his almost constant slow rocking forward and backwards
Even worse is the way He really died...
Why not?
Why are there comments about religion below? The Blues Brothers are bigger than religion.
John Belushi first took drugs only as self medicine for a football injury he had. Unfortunately his drug taking escalating from that to full addiction.
He has an obligation to be in la to sit in the back and make sure it sounds good... Right
Why?
I preferred Dan Aykroyd when he was Jake's silent brother Elwood. Ha ha.
Assumption is the mother of all fuck up's, Dave.
I'm agnostic.
Everything is relative.
Some people sin more than others.
Don't clump a low level sinner amongst a high level sinner.
Doing that...would be down right stupid.

Or if you're friend says to you
that you've done a good job when you didn't...
they're going into your lake of fire?
The wage of sin is death?
Is that your theory why everyone dies, because they've sin?
If you didn't sin, you'd live forever?
Are you single?
What do you do for a living?
All the sudden I want to run out and buy brake pads.
2:10
FUCK DRUG ABUSE, IT'S A FUCKING SIN AND IT KILLS TERRIBLY.
than Jim stole John's fame!
No he didn't.

Not familiar with Blues Brothers are you?
Think Dan could take off his glasses?
Remember what it did to Whitney Elizabeth Houston.
Because, someone who thinks like you do...
should be known what they do for a living.
If you're involved in critical thinking...
you may be biased.
At0:13 pause and john Belushi deor
Would have been more sincere had Dan taken the Ray Bans off.
A fan of Dan Aykroyd's but he seems pompous here.
doobies
Belushi was an egomaniac and not a nice person unlike most Hollywwod stars lol
