Update 1/22/11 - I found that this collection was fairly decimated by removed videos at YouTube. I've restored as many as possible and added a few new ones. Enjoy
Tonight I bring you a collection of The Blues, 60 songs to keep you going all night.
Starting with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee on an old show titled Rainbow Quest hosted by Pete Seeger. Mississippi John Hurt also makes an appearance on the show.
From there we move to Chicago for some hits by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Siegal Schwall Blues Band, also a number of Michael Bloomfield songs with Electric Flag and the Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills Supersession.
Next we hop the Atlantic, or fly over the pole if you wish, to England for the British take on things with Savoy Brown, Cream, Blind Faith, John Mayall and Jimmy Hendrix.
Finally we return stateside for some Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I've tried to find live versions as much as possible although a few only have slide shows but are worth it for the music. Obviously this is only a sampling of the many great blues performers out there. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this.
I changed my top music tune for you on my blog before i came over here. I had no idea of what you were talking about till i clicked your link. lol I am a huge buddy guy fan.
that one is for you.
You should keep this site going, and updated. it would be very cool. i will be listening to this all weekend. thanks you made my day.
I've been so busy at work that I've been burned out on the weekends and have been somewhat slack in keeping up to date.
ReplyDeleteAlso the decision by Splashcast to turn "for profit social network" much of my early work here has been lost.
LOL - when I left the link you had not yet changed the video...
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence.
Thanks for a great show.
ReplyDeleteLots of memories.
I saw Cream at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Janis Joplan opened, or was it the other way around. LOL Any one who tells you they remember all of IT. Are liars. I used to sneak into the Whiskey A Go Go. If I could do it all over again, it sure would be a lot different. The 60's will never be replayed. Why? Because they ain't suppose to be. LOL.
It was our gain, and our loss. Thanks again.
You mean the sixties are over?
ReplyDeleteBummer.
99: LOL.
ReplyDeleteI still say far out.
Great stuff! Remember SplashCast?
ReplyDeleteI remember the bastards - hundreds of hours of work down the drain!
ReplyDeleteThis is a righteous site, Bluebear and I think you may be a yaka-wow sort of blogger.
