Renowned for his unorthodox style and distinct sound, Otis Rush took the audience of the 2001 Chicago Blues Festival on a haunting journey with this powerful rendition of “So Many Roads So Many Trains”. Penned by Paul Marshall, Rush was the original artist to record that now-classic number which was released back in 1960 with “I’m Satisfied” as the B-side.
Gotta love him just for that Tag Heuer he has on.......lol I had one just like it cause they were the watch to have back then. Otis we will miss you bro
so powerful this man, hits the notes and wails the blues like a man in pain from a full life of experiences the true way it should be played its why hes influenced hendrix srv and buddy guy
Thanks to those who posted informative comments here. "The blues" is a vast musical field. I'm still expanding my listening. But I can already tell...this gentleman was *good*!
Yeah, Otis was one of the best, and with a tendency to play behind the beat. And a formidable tension and release player. On an old Delmark LP, "So Many Roads, Live in Concert", there's another one of Otis' blistering takes of "So Many Roads". Recorded in Japan, July 1975.
was this the last time? I remember that nite, it poured.. and you still saw a lot of people standin in the rain. At least a few thousand. pourin down. I had my new white fedora, the best I ever had, and it was 'wrecked'. but nothin stopped us. we had to see our Otis, and holler YEAH /WHOA -thank-you OTIS!
This dude invented half the tones, phrasing, vibes, riffs and vocal stylings etc. that were later adopted by most famous British blues rock musicians. He is the main artery. Kneel in suplication. Just kidding. About kneeling.
Excuse me. Am I late to the brawl? Mr. Rush paid his dues for a 2 lifetimes. He doesn´t play the blues, he IS the blues. Please check yourself before any disrespectful comments are launched.
Yes sir! Paying your dues is what makes a “Bluesman” because the blues is not music, it’s a feeling like no other genre of music can replicate, except maybe blues/rock.
Just learned he has his guitar strung backwards. Probably very little investigating would have told me that but I just saw it. I have like 8 albums of his and everyone is amazing. How can this only have 13000 views.
It's all about how you first started to learn it's no different than strings right side up or right with strings upside down it all makes no difference. It's just how you learned and play.
Hay un escalon mas arriba de algo que es bien ejecutado o llevado a cabo... es el de sentirlo. Y tocar puede tocar cualquiera hacer sentir... es otra cosa
@roussos87...right on the money.. high notes were his bitches...he just shredded ,bent , twist them made them howl like a dog in heat.....this dude may be the baddest left handed pure blues player the world has ever seen.. i've seen him do stuff that borders on the impossible......
I disagree. I like to have a visual of the artist in my head when I listen. Like you world naturally have after seeing a live performance. I love Otis Rush, but didn’t know what he looked like. Or that he played lefty. Now when I’m listening, I have a picture to go with it. Thank TH-cam.

Otis Rush is the Original (+ John Mayall, b. 1933 can Still sing this Very Well, too.. & After 60+ years^^; am sure he paid Otis Rush Royalties/similar.. unlike what Little Richard got back then due to bigoted, very greedy Managers/Producers, etc.. 1950's & +/- //read pls read about the 1920's Robert Johnson in detail, too^^ as Eric Clapton, The Stones, et al Studied his genius way ahead of his time with Crossroads & more legendary🌅🗽🌉💝🎆🎄🎇🎐
Hey, "zythesparin" let Otis be Otis. He's entertained people for years. If you don't care for his playing ability that's fine. I'm sure you play a fine guitar but there will always be people who won't appreciate your sound also. Not to say you can't play it's just that people will always have different taste for different genres of music. I don't mock any musician even if he or she is not to my liking.
So you just play in the basement? And you put down Rush? There is no accounting for taste but Otis Rush has more soul in 1 note than most guitarists have in a 1000. You show your inexperience/appreciation of what " Blues" is all about. It's NOT about how many notes you play or being perfectly in tune! Not sure what your definition of "good" is but it isn't what someone that knows Blues is. Sorry if you think I'm "bothering" you but when you offer an opinion back it up with knowledge.
lol it's the same you think it's more difficult because you are right handed but it's the same and it's actually easier to bend that way that's way albert king bends 2 notes
Actually, right handers got it wrong. The guys that made up guitar 500 years ago was what we now call dyslexic! Why would anybody in his right mind put bass on top and treble on the bottom? That defies the laws of physics. It's also completely in reverse of how the staff is written. No, Otis Rush has it exactly right!
I saw Otis Rush 9-13-95 at the United Center Chicago he opened for Page and Plant a night to remember 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Love the minor key, love everything this man did. Rest in Peace...
At that time or 20-30 years ealier Mr. Otis Rush was so Good that it was scary. God Bless this Man and all the others that gave us the BLUES. Love❤🎸

Sounds like some of band is playing it in minor key???
Τι να πει κανείς Τεράστιος Τύπος
way cool.
Playing guitar upside down left handed. cool
I noticed he was left-handed but thanks for pointing out, the treble strings are on top and the bass on the bottom. Too cool!
I like joeb just a tad bit more but o rush jams it to intro is what i got 2 nail
This Video has bugger all views because people no longer listen to music for it's musical and emotional content.
I disagree. I like to have a visual of the artist in my head when I listen. Like you world naturally have after seeing a live performance. I love Otis Rush, but didn’t know what he looked like. Or that he played lefty. Now when I’m listening, I have a picture to go with it. Thank TH-cam.
I'd sell my house, sell my dog, sell my wife, sell my soul - just to see Otis in Concert ! :)

Man, was that band loud!

this'll be interesting....

Are his strings the wrong way around?
tonu astur the mans name was Marshall Paul , according to wikipeda.
So you just play in the basement? And you put down Rush? There is no accounting for taste but Otis Rush has more soul in 1 note than most guitarists have in a 1000.

Sorry if you think I'm "bothering" you but when you offer an opinion back it up with knowledge.
He plays lefthanded with a normal guitar upside down... Music is all about feeling, not technique....
Daniel Moreno but if you have your strings like that you can do a downbend on the high e and you can't do that that otherwise
what year was this show?
is he playing a right handed guitar?!?
So many pale imitators of the real thing out there, so few exposure chance for the true originators like Otis...
lol it's the same you think it's more difficult because you are right handed but it's the same and it's actually easier to bend that way that's way albert king bends 2 notes
Albert King's Protegé
he's lefty, the strings in guitar are in right hand position....much more difficult
@roussos87 Ha ha ha that's right man! Fuckin amazing!!
Actually, right handers got it wrong. The guys that made up guitar 500 years ago was what we now call dyslexic! Why would anybody in his right mind put bass on top and treble on the bottom? That defies the laws of physics. It's also completely in reverse of how the staff is written. No, Otis Rush has it exactly right!
AGW7337 what if you don't have a bass player.....
high notes are his bithces....he wants, they do...
