look at the awe in buddy's face. son house is musical essence personified
Wow. What a ''passing of the torch'' moment. And look now how many blues genres Buddy seems to have lived thru. He touched the originals and he's still with us today.
Too bad Buddy now is more interested in money and appealing to money than keeping it authentic. His modern stuff sounds like rock. It's truly sad.
as if rock isn't already blues and making a good living is a bad thing. buddy guy is the best! aware of his musical ancestors and descendants, not inhibited about the past or apprehensive of the future -- he's got the big picture which includes his garden, home cooking, rock'n'roll and a decent bank account. his music has always bridged bb king, james brown and jimi hendrix. he has the utmost of musical integrity and we are lucky to have him as an elder statesman of the blues. Viva Buddy Guy, baby!!
Brian, rock isn't blues to me. It's an insult to the blues to water it down like that. The two don't intersect at all. Blues' history based on people of color and their struggles. Rock is essentially showing off to get laid. One is authentic, one is not. The commericalized crap has trashed the realness and authenticy of blues to appeal to the rock crowd. Just look at the many of the embarrassing blues festivals all over country. Many of them rock wanker fests. And Buddy in his desire for gold bling bling has gone right after it. What a waste of a talent to pander to the rock crowd. He's become an insult to Son House, speaking straight and honest. The brother done sold out to the bling bling NOT 'the big picture.' His big picture is profiting of people like you. Meanwhile he pisses on the depth, honesty and specialness of the blues. Make money, fine. Just don't try to sell yourself as blues when you've gone after SRV schmucks.
@Stephanie Sandlin: "Blues' history based on people of color and their struggles."
Spoken like a true musical ignoramus. Charley Patton, the FATHER of Mississippi Delta blues was of mixed race ancestry; white, black, and American Indian. Quit trying to take ownership of everything. As Longfellow said "Music is the universal language of mankind."
"Just look at the many of the embarrassing blues festivals all over the country."
The only thing "embarrassing" is how dumbed down modern black "music" has become. You have an entire generation of morons that think "rap", a format in which virtually no one can either (a) sing or (b) play an instrument (much less write lyrics beyond a 3rd grade level), constitutes "music". Fortunately, the white people have almost single-handedly kept the blues (and jazz) alive.
And now Buddy Guy is passing the torch to Kingfish. See their videos now.
Not sorry about the audio quality. Happy that this film and audio exists at all. My respect to Son House and Buddy Guy. Son, may you rest in peace.
Sound quality is perfect for this kinda performance.
This is perfect the way it is. This is gold!
Very few human moments ever get captured like this.
I have to confess it again: This Is Fantastic! This is the Blues.
Great moment in blues preserved forever. What a combination, these two. And you can't beat Son House's voice. By the way this song is "How to Treat a Man".
Testify
Son's voice was so amazing that people still talk about it to this day.
Ronnie Van Zant and Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd so admired him that they wrote "Swamp Music" as their own personal direct tribute to his singing.
It's definitely not "My Black Mama."
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns Son House was idolized by Johnny Winter. Johnny spoke of Son's influence on him for years. I still cannot hear Son in Johnny's playing but for sure in his vocals!
@@brianwells4507 Johnny could have done worse than to emulate Son.
That voice alone evokes images of what it must have been like living his hardscrabble life when he was still young and living in Mississippi.
Ohh man this like the peak of it all right here. The meanest blues singer Son House with the mighty Buddy Guy on guitar.
BADASSNESS! The King and Buddy! Never ever get tired of listening to Son!
This is where the Delta meets Chicago, kind of a crossroads in music itself, and it's one of those rare incredible moments that we should be thankful that this was captured on video! Booyah!!
OH FUCKIN YES!!!
Amen, baby!
Cody Moraga I still can't believe this even exists wow
Cody Moraga Amen! Say it again, Amen!
Buddy from louisiana
So god dam good it hurts.....Young Buddy and Son House just killing the slide. Gives me chills man
it doesn't get any more real than this! if this doesn't stir something up inside of you, you need to do some soul searching. goddamn SON!
I'm a huge Son House fan and blues purist, and I absolutely love this video. I take his backing more like a guy playing with his elderly father. Son didn't have the same musical chops he did like when he was in his 40's on the Library of Congress recordings. So Buddy is giving him a solid backing, giving Son the freedom to wail like he's used to.
You can hear it on his old recordings with a band, he's the singer. He sounds right at home when he's playing with his boys. On the revival recordings he sounds great when playing with someone else as well, and this is no different.
i could not say anything but agree
actually, i would say i want more of this show
I saw Son play twice in the 60s. The first time as I recall he played well, but the second time, which was probably in 68 he wasn't playing nearly so well - though his voice was still amazing.
I agree. For the video and for House, wonderful to see the man in full actions. Buddy Guy, I'll pass. Too much of rock cat at heart.
Son's voice was a powerful as ever on his revival recordings, but you're right that he wasn't nearly as fast as he was on the LOC and Paramount recordings from back in his prime, especially compared to the likes of "Preachin' the Blues" or "My Black Mama."
My right ear loves this.
mono recording.
lol
Lol yeah
So mine 😂
the sound quality is just perfect. You have no idea how awesome it is to be able to hear this, in whatever condition. Well, yes, I guess you know how awesome it is :-))))
When I was a kid, it took us months to get our hands on stuff like that. You had to mail order LPs !!! So, in my old age, just clicking away on youtube for stuff I missed 50 years ago is bliss. Thanks for uploading this gem.
Oh my my ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤that bluesy sound❤✌
Son House knows his blues; he is preachin' blues!!
Son House is the shit. He is immaculate.
Crazy how far away Son is from the mic, a powerful voice.
Wow!!!
I've been listening to blues for a long time and heard this for the first time just now - sends shivers up the back of my neck ....
Amazing!
Buddy Guy was the “little brother” to all of the OG blues musicians from way back in the day. Buddy Guy and Taj Mahal are the last two true bluesmen, and it’s so bittersweet to realize that. Those two legends are the last link to such an important part of this country’s musical heritage. ❤
incredible blues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best music is that type that comes from heart. RIP Son House.
This is what I call Blues, still listening on 2020 and I'll til the day I stop breathing, u can hear son house pain while singing, oh lord love this
The great Son House, and Buddy Guy part of the time transport machine.
Son house always assumes I know everything.....always starts off singin with "you know..."
3:04 "You know.. just like I tell you".
Muhammad Smith Dude that is so BADASS!!!
It's inside you you just gotta be reminded sometimes. Unless of course you don't got the blues
My aunt talks the same way, you know.
He may have Scottish roots.. ye know
This is fantastic.
What a great vintage recording. Buddy Guy goes way way back and is a force to be reckoned with
The force in this song is indescribable. Son house is a power like no other. Buddy's fills are so good too.
But, son house. No-one like him. Beyond emotional.
Probably my favorite thing ever
3:03 The Black and The White - Shoes !!!!! This Picture is GOLD !
God damn!!!!
This is important history kiddies. pay attention.
Real music.....
Two music legends.
And just consider for a moment that Buddy is still active!
That's what makes Mr Buddy Guy legend he played with all the greats who are no longer here and he's still going strong at 80 years young
I am BLOWN AWAY!!!
Oh, man, to have been on the front row! Just too darn soulful...🔥
Awesome, oh man this is very rare, I never even imagined these two got together, I reckon Buddy did a good job too. Thanks for this, I loved it.
1:22 second mark......That one moment of priceless singing shift, destroyed EVERY CURRENT wannabe Singer of this commercialized ERA.
That man knew the legend Robert Johnson in person
that man is a legend
Ah! Great music. Hear the souls of old black Delts players scream. I love the way the two trade off lead and rythm like they been playing together for years.
Buddy Guy lived in Chicago and grew up in Lousiana and is not a Delta Blue performer
Lordy lordy lordy. Son House is magical and Buddy is, well, Buddy.
this is an awsome find, The GREAT Son House and Buddy Guy. The cats could turn a boy into a man. They had alot of respect, passion and LOVE for their craft and the craft of making music.
This is not "My black mama" it's actually "How to treat a man"
TRULY AMAZING
Just beautiful. Buddy slipping in some nice riffs, along with great rhythm.
As deep as the Blues can ever get - that's Son House!
Thanks for posting ! I love Son ! - I have re-shared this to the Mississippi Delta Blues Community on Google+ :-)
It´s a fresh invigorant against a disappointment and despair with the current musical scenario.
Thanks very much. Wow! Just shoes you...Two unplugged guitars, a bottleneck...and Talent! Both of them.
amazing as ever
A gem!!
2 blues gods
Haunting
Impresionante!!!
best blues I've ever heard
Give me a piece of blues...uauuuuu Beatiful two genious
Thanks for this amazing post! I hope Buddy knows a tape of this perfromance exists!
I notice Buddy is studying every move the master's fingers are making. Be a fool not to.
Buddy is a humble man, and he knew greatness when he saw it.
Buddy is no slouch on guitar and singing himself.
He's probably watching to work out what is going on!
@@davidhertzberg9066 I would say that Buddy was and is the more skilled guitarist than Son, but when it came to singing, Son's voice was so incredible that Ronnie Van Zant even wrote a song about him as a direct tribute to him: Swamp Music
"Sounds just like old Son House...singin' the blues."
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns I agree entirely. I don't think that there was much that Son House could teach Buddy Guy about the guitar! I think he was looking at him to see where he was going not to learn. Son was a much greater singer than guitar player.
@@davidhertzberg9066 Yes
However, in his older recordings (the Paramount recordings and the Alan Lomax recordings done for the Library of Congress) Son was much quicker and more fiery on guitar.
When Dick Waterman and his friends finally relocated him in the 1960s, Son told them that he hadn't picked up a guitar in over twenty years, and he had considerable rust at that time.
Alan Wilson of Canned Heat was brought in to help "get Son House to learn how to play like Son House," which allowed him to perform for a live audience again and give us these later recordings.
His guitar playing wasn't nearly as quick as from his older recordings (especially on "Preachin' the Blues"), but he still "attacked" his guitar in much the same manner.
Only his voice retained the power that it had had from his younger days.
Felling like that dude on "Oh brother where art thou....AAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
Just stunning!
Saw Buddy at the Carolina Theater a few weeks ago. He's still going strong.
Couldn't resist.
Нет дня что бы не слушал и не пытался найти это полностью.
Imagine you are in a bar and Son House and Charley Patton walk in together, like nothing, and start playing..
It would be one of those moments in history impossible to replicate, even if you had the entire performance captured on film.
We know that people got to actually see them both together in the 1930s and 1940s, and it must have been simply incredible.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns that would have been pretty hard after Patton died in 1934. Patton was the top man and biggest earner in the Blues circuit in Mississippi in the 20s and 30s. House was not
@@writerrad They travelled around and played together a lot though, also with Willie Brown.
Yeah, imagine House, Patton, the Howlin Wolf and Robert Johnson in the corner, gods making their craft
The teacher of the best,....
THE BEST ! RIP
ty much for sharing this...its amazin'
Forget the audio quality, you're awesome for posting this :)
Man!... That's what I'm talkin about...
I wish I was in THAT much pain...

I love this...
Thank you for this.
Son house and buddy guy is blues rock master
Wow two great legends. Son House in Heaven and Buddy Guy still with us. Greetings all thumbs up.
Don't apologize for the audio, it gives it the authenticity it so richly deserves....
Yesss!! Maan! LIVERPOOL
this is a treasure !!! Love Son....love Buddy. Son is singing up a storm!!
a great vid thanks for postin sounds great for the time gives it meat
Thanks for the gift.
Buddy Guy et Son House! incroyable!
The best guitar players✨
wow
un- f'n- believable
Son House is the blues singer everyone is trying to be as good as. The emotional depth he sang with is still the measure for blues singers, even the most recent ones.
The magic of Son House is the guitar is an accompaniment. Son himself is the star of his songs, he, his voice, his expression. The space between those notes. When people like Guy make it about guitar wanking the magic of what Son House was and what he did, will forever be out of their reach.
Really really freakin' awesome.
holy shitballs!!!!!!!!
I don't usually mention this, but I would really like someone who disliked this video to actually explain. From where I sit, the only thing better than one song with Son House and Buddy Guy would be two songs with Son House and Buddy guy, but history gives us what it gives us and this little nugget is awesome.
I couldn't dislike the video because, hey it's Son House. However, Buddy Guy is stepping all over Son House with his noodling and jamming in of notes. Son House' style is one of space so he can project his emotion and feeling over his guitar rhythm. Guy denies House that and competes with him for space. It's disrespectful and to me and reaffirms some of the core reasons why I don't like Guy - he's a really a rock guy and jams notes in like a guitar wanker. The one place I'd expect him to GET to not jam and cram notes - playing with Son House - he did it.
this is AWESOME!
One of the best things on the internet. Film was invented for this.
OH MAN THIS MAN SON HOUSE REALLY TOUCH MY HEART,LET THE TEARS ROLL......
Amazing!!
3 minutes 18 seconds of musical heaven.
powerful... i can feel his pain and suffering
Thanks so much for uploading this, it's absolutely incredible. I have just listened to it about 8 times in a row covered with goosebumps, choking back the tears. Wow. I can't hardly stand it it's so good.
a great lesson of music
awesome.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic post. Thanks for sharing.
