Around 1969 Mr. Johnson made a couple of visits to the Colonial Tavern in Toronto. On one visit he performed with Big Mama Thornton and the Atlanta Blues Band. He always gave 100%. Those are good memories!
@andrew griggs I wish I could have been there! But I was just a toddler then 🤭 Really appreciate you sharing. I love being able to re-live my dad's foot steps! 🎸
To think all these years later some fella in Aotearoa - New Zealand ( me )would find this and love it in 2018, just as much as you all did back then. Your Pops was amazing lass. :) Bless
It is so hard to find ANY live videos of Luther Johnson! Thank you very very much for sharing this real Diamond with us! Sonny Thompson like a cherry on the Cake ;-) THANKS again!!!

Let your light shine today and don't worry about who it makes uncomfortable. ~ unknown But reminds me of something my Dad's brother Bennie Brinson once said! Rest in love and peace Uncle BB, miss you too. 🥰
Not much known in Europe. I saw him late in the 70's in Barcelona. It was, yeah, solid and bluesy and wonderful. I bought an l.p the next day wich I still play and enjoy.
Hey Dede! I just discovered your father and he’s one of my new fav blues men. His style was/is so unique. Anxious to share his music with my friends. Going to learn some of his licks!!! You have a lot to be proud of!
Pearly May Elise,: then there is this guy a genius just learned of him during covid on UA-cam! Playing with thumb very common Wes Montgomery did also. Next song.
I so agree with you +Franck Goldwasser ! I've watched this video countless times! It totally fills my heart for my Pops and makes me happy that music lovers are remembering his contribution to the Blues !! #priceless
You must be so proud of your dad! Even though he sadly died so young, he’s still bringing so much joy to people all over the world decades later. We are all so blessed to have his music.
Someone stole my granny's night shirt the 1960s now I know where it turned up ,,,, authentic electric blues was still alive and well in the early seventies ,,great ,,,if I see the first sentence in this comment as a song title I'll know my life wasn't in vain

@@DeDeBrinsonHassell This man is your father??? Man!!! He is the coldest bluesman I’ve ever heard and seen. His voice is perfect and his style is ice cold! He’s my favorite blues artist!!! I been trying to find out everything I can about him.

I played guitar in his band in 1974. Then I moved to Ssn Francisco and played for Charles Brown for the next ten years.
I adored Charles. I met him when he played a string of dates at the Hollywood Roosevelt in 1991.
Wow, Chales Brown always had great guitar players.
Charles Brown Yeah
Did you play with Luther when he was playing in and around Boston?
@@larryhirst3651 Yes. Until I left for San Francisco in the fall of 74.

Thank you Lothar Roberts :) Much appreciated! The Blues is Alive ♫
Great blues singer!
R Van Dijk Thank you, that is very kind of you! ♥
God, I wish I could sing like him. Pure soul🔥
Excellent! No pedals, no effects, no pick, just pure genius up there playing!
My thumb is so cramped!! 😾😾😿
What's wrong with a pick🙄🤔
@@awadaawada6738 Did I say anything's wrong with a pick? The answer is NO, I didn't. Which leaves me wondering why you asked the question.🙂

I know i had heard this a long time ago as young child and once I stumbled upon this track it all come rushing back
loved him. I'm surprised at 81 years to hear a blues artist I hadn't heard before. I love his phrasing, his voice and his guitar!!
Man this sounds awesome!!!
Thanks for this -Bring on more!

I like this sound too. I'm glad I found this.
In a world full of heavy metal blues garbage, it's a real pleasure to see Luther laying it down with passion and soul
I don't know what rock I've been trapped under! I should have known this man. It's the kind of blues I like ... brilliant and perfect for my ears.
Snake on his run! Forever....hear ...in the ghetto..unbelievable funky play from him
In very loving memory of Mr. Lucius Brinson Johnson (1934 - 1976 R.I.P. // gone but NOT forgotten).
That is 100% the truth such people have their names written in the heavenly register and the record will show for all time
Beautiful soul what a gift
Happy Birthday daddy Mr. LUCIOUS Brinson aka Luther Georgia Boy Johnson 💜💜💜💜
this is the 1st song i heard from him.. Im lookin for whatever i can get now
The coolness of drummer is never seen.
100%
Cool. This my first time seeing Georgia Boy Snake Johnson performing. I'm a fellow Georgia boy myself.
Don't know how I got to this video, but glad I found it. Yeah, this dude could play the guitar. Great performances of both songs.
Funky yet tough urban blues. Such an authentic sound of the times ...Muddy knew. Gets you right in the gut. like it should.
I just discovered this guy 2 days ago,just love his songs and groove...
Yes!
Rest in Love Peace and Bluesic Pops!! Your Daughter, DeDe aka Baby Snake

I saw him in Worcester, Mass at a place called Gilrein's about 20 years ago. Great show.
He died in 1976, so you must have paid a lot for those tickets!

I believe that's Fred Below
I don't know who it is, but it isn't Freddie Below.
Looks and sounds like James Gadson
I think he's Billy Warren
