The song is 'My younger days' and the band features Howlin' Wolf's combo of Sunnyland Slim, Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon and drummer Clifton James. You can read that in a review of the DVD The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966, Vol. 2 at Amazon.
I was absolutely floored by the cinematography/videography for this performance by Sonny Boy Williamson II and his band. The camera angles and picture quality and sound quality of the performance seems like it came from 1983 instead of 1963 or 1964. Even though he was approaching the end of his life, Sonny Boy Williamson II still appeared healthy and vibrant for this performance, and I was thrilled to witness it. Thanks, MattySlim, for sharing this very special performance by Sonny Boy Williamson II here at TH-cam.
I met him at the Marquee Club, in Wardour St, London in 1964. He was peeing next to me in the John and asked me where a man could get a drink in this soft drink club. I directed him across the road to The Intrepid Fox pub.where we all went in the break. He was playing with The Yardbirds with Eric Clapton. On the same bill was Long John Baldry and the Hoochie Coochie Men with a guest young kid called Rod Stewart. I was 15 in my second year playing the harmonica., now in my 45 th, ha ha ha
The poster MattySlim is a damn good player/singer himself. He lives in Eugene, Oregon. Hey Brother, I still have to get you a copy of the George Smith album I promised you.
Those are the only two that I know of. One of the few videos that Miss. Fred appears on. FYI...Otis Rush is still around as far as I know as well as Little Hubert Sumlin. Anybody know if Earl Hooker {John Lee Hookers cousin I think] is still alive.
