I remember visiting my Aunt Fredda Mae house on holidays or any given weekend and she would start drinking her favorite drink Cook's champagne with 🍓's. She would then begin to play her husband records all night long. All the family would gather in the living room dancing and laughing. I miss those days 😪 😞. Yes my Aunt Fredda was married to Hound Dog Taylor.
I'm new to blues and hound dog. I need more! I wish this type of stuff was mainstream today. Radio tunes today are embarrassing. For you older folk here commenting down below. You're so lucky to have lived in these simpler times.
I called a late friend of mine who lived in Chicago back in the early 2000s. I said I wanted to visit all the great Chicago bluesmen's graves, including Hound Dog's. He was game. Good memories. We visited 12-15 graves. We had trouble finding Little Walter. My friend swore until the day he died that Walter was saying, "I'm over here. I'm right here." We found him.
HD Taylor could make a beat-up guitar & a ten-dollar amp sound like a heavenly choir of hell-hounds a-barkin' the blues...that tone, man, that sweet tone!
You can't beat that wonderful "chomp-chomp" from those Teisco pickups. He can play just one note and it sounds fantastic. And of course his playing is so understated, down-to-earth REAL too. Awesome!
I was there (Ann Arbor, "fog island") in the crowd that day 😎 ! Good to see these videos.. but they are quite poor and really don't do justice to Hound Dog !! He was such a happy guy ! Hope to see him in heaven cranking out his rocking unique style to Jesus Christ ✝️
Absolutely Stunning! He really sounds a lot like Elmore James especially on the slide guitar. He was famous for using really cheap equipment and its amazing that he could get such great sounds out of it. I love this gem!
@@formula2tom225 His extra fingers weren't really used for anything, they were just nubs. He also got so drunk one night that he cut one of them off on a bet against his talent. (Ouch. At least he was drunk.)
This is the real del. Low down, dirty, swingin' mindblowing blues. Clapton, Mayall, Beck, Page: Not even close to those old cats as Howlin' Wolf and Mr.Taylor.
Clapton+Mayall better than anything there ever was. This performance is raw and a true display of soul and emotion, but Erics playing on Beano is too revolutionary to overlook!
I thoroughly enjoy the sound of Hound Dog Taylor, and.. Howlin’ Wolf is just raw goodness! Clapton is way overplayed in my opinion, but.. not to detract from his talent, I just prefer hearing HDT and Wolf. I own Clapton Albums, Yardbirds, and Zeppelin Albums, Frampton, etc.. only one Wolf Album, and I haven’t got any of the House Rockers. So, until I have my own copy.. TH-cam isn’t all bad!
This genuine sound is extremely fascinating. Open tunings. Amp sound never replicated in same quality. Hound dog rocks it, like he always did. If i should prepare a lifetime track list this is under top ten.
yes Hound Dog was fantastic in his shows, full of 10,000 percent energy and a zillion watts... I saw him a number of times at clubs in Milwaukee and Madison Wisconsin when I was in my twenties... Hound Dog was great in keeping alive the slide style of the late great Elmore James who died circa 1963... for those who are newer to blues and love slide blues, also check two other slidemen from Chicago, Homesick James Williamson and JB Hutto, you will not be disappointed.....
I will love this video forever. And you for posting it! Hot damn, this is good. I still remember the very first time I popped a Hound Dog Taylor tape in my cassette player. My mind was blown for the rest of my life.
I remember hearing Hound Dog for the first time I bought a box of records and the Album Natural Boogie was in there I put it on and have not put it down since now I got all his Albums that I can find anyway
I was tempted to cuss to describe Hound Dog's magnificent sound but no.. It's just the definition of electric blues for me. If I see one more Strat I'm gonna get sick.
i´m with ya, dog ... R.I.P. ... and thanx a million & more to bruce iglauer: the best alligator records ever (or so). by the way, he was named roosevelt jonas taylor on the death certificate.
@@daveberswick5372 yes i agree. In fact i'v proved he used budget guitar and amps . Watch my hound dog taylor style slide guitar on my utube channel . I play a cheap strat copy and tiny 10w. Amp with the gain turned up . 👍🎸😎
@@alfiehenshall688 you are same as cal reason massive following . That's me speaker sliced squire tele back pickup replaced played blues 46 years not into fame

❤
Wow!!!
Wow 🫶🏽👏🏽🩵
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing. Is it true Hound Dog Taylor had 6 fingers on one hand?
I saw HOUND DOG in person...sat three feet directly in front of him when he performed....

One of the best musicians you can hitch your wagon to!
This should be in the Library of Congress...i am dead serious...it is culturally significant.

Maybe the greatest music video ever !
Hound dog and the band in fine houserockin,' form . The first time I heard them , my mind was opened wide and my ears were unplugged .J
Fortunate to have caught this show. Ann Arbor was a very cool place in the early 70's...
Lucky You!!!!!!!
Go Irish!
Thank God we have this vid of the hound!! Evrybody knows the Hound!!
thanks to alligator records i discovered hound dog,bless them and you for this video.
same here, back in the early 80s
Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival 1973
one of the most exciting acts I ever caught--and I've seen a lot
Totally ageee
I remember that afternoon like it was yesterday. Rock on, Dog!
Me too!!!
That guitar and amp sound better than any of the garbage they make nowadays.
+Lightnin Hopkins People keep trying to replicate Hound Dog's sound. They just ain't gettin' it.
The best amps are made with the vacuum tube
You can't beat that wonderful "chomp-chomp" from those Teisco pickups. He can play just one note and it sounds fantastic. And of course his playing is so understated, down-to-earth REAL too. Awesome!
79tazman $500 gets you a vintage Sears Silvertone on eBay, the kind Hound Dog used to play. Sounds like crap, but it’s all in the fingers.
And I believe he had no fancy guitar, he often played a Hondo
I've watched &listened to this thing so many times ...never gets old ..."look out sugar!"
Outstanding drummer ‼️. This video alone makes TH-cam essential‼️😎🔥🎸
I was there (Ann Arbor, "fog island") in the
crowd that day 😎 ! Good to see these
videos.. but they are quite poor and really
don't do justice to Hound Dog !!
He was such a happy guy ! Hope to see
him in heaven cranking out his rocking
unique style to Jesus Christ ✝️
I am so down with The Dog.
How could a blues lover not be??
He has so much joy playing!!!
Boy! He sure makes shit sound good!
garrickrising hahaha wasn't that what he said he wanted on his tombstone? "He couldn't play shit. But he made it sound good."
Still love me some Hound Dog!
Absolutely Stunning! He really sounds a lot like Elmore James especially on the slide guitar. He was famous for using really cheap equipment and its amazing that he could get such great sounds out of it. I love this gem!
Elmore James was his cousin, and so was J.B. Hutto.
Some of the secret is not to worry about the equipment, just play the music and the meaning of it.
and having 6 fingers
He used to say about his sound, "Ragged but Right!"
@@formula2tom225 His extra fingers weren't really used for anything, they were just nubs. He also got so drunk one night that he cut one of them off on a bet against his talent. (Ouch. At least he was drunk.)
my brother and i were at that show,also saw magic sam
Man, that is some of the greasiest tone ever let loose on sound waves. HoundDog Taylor was one of the best at doing what he do. God Bless him.
Rip dad long live the blues
Sadie - thanks Mr. Taylor, that is the Blues!
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt Taylor
Brilliant this is real legend he left so much great music behind him for us.so we keep it alive for ever.

@@lars4738 Shit, Clapton and all them old English dudes Wish they could play like the old blues guys. Where do you think they got it from?
They were pretty similar. Sounds like a racist remark to me
They knew it too. Clapton once said, he can play blues. But he can never be a BLUES MAN.This is the real deal right here.

HooEEE! That's a rockin' guitar tone! These guys are unstoppable!
Bad ass, sounds so good
Can’t get any better than this, love iT.
"Thank you, doggone it - I feel alright!" That is one happy bluesman.
"....I WISH YOU......." 😂😂😂 Love the Hound.
This Dog.Was insane.When I first heard him.I knew there was something different bout him.Later I found out he had 6 fingers.
best Blues band of all times !

Many THX's to the 'Poster' of this clip for the Information
Very NICE
I will love this video forever. And you for posting it! Hot damn, this is good. I still remember the very first time I popped a Hound Dog Taylor tape in my cassette player. My mind was blown for the rest of my life.
One of the true pioneers, god bless his soul
I got to see him many times at Southern Illinois University.
was there i was thirteen was a blast hes best ever never for get these days
Thanks for posting this Randy Meadows. Hound Dog Taylor seems to be having (and giving) a blast.
I used to see Hound Dog in a small club in Chicago. His joy in playing was infectious. When he played it was impossible not to dance.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this!
Blues Original ❤
Thank ya, dog gone it! Hound dog do it for me tonight!
I remember hearing Hound Dog for the first time I bought a box of records and the Album Natural Boogie was in there I put it on and have not put it down since now I got all his Albums that I can find anyway
It's just to bad Hound Dog was discovered in 1970 because he died in 1975 but he left the world with some smokin blues riff's
I never believed that there are Videos of him and I´m happy about that ! Hound Dog - the hardest Boogie Player at that time !
Cgilbert I love the blues but I have never heard of Mad 🐕 he's good And Chuck keep it coming May peace be unto you 🤗
Blues, blues, blues... real and great !
Love Hound Dog Taylor and Now Thanks to You I can Live the Moment.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this👍
I was tempted to cuss to describe Hound Dog's magnificent sound but no.. It's just the definition of electric blues for me.
If I see one more Strat I'm gonna get sick.
#50gary 🎸🤮 👏👍
Grande dog; a guitarra nas mãos dele vira um brinquedo
Damn. Best concert vid on TH-cam? :) Too bad the second half of the film is going way too fast, luckily the sound isn't distorted at all
This video is absolutely perfect
I hear so much of Hound Dog in SRV.
White Stripes too
teacher and student!
White copycats suck
What a killer tone. So crispy
Thank you for digging this up, keep up the good work
It's like Hound Dog and his guitar are locked in battle, going blow for blow.
Excellent❤❤❤
Its a shame the video portion is in such poor shape, but the audio is great!
cant speak words, but the man did play.
Awesome 😊
Love it!
It's dirty, it's filthy, it's sticky but above it's the sun
Unreal Tone!
Take that Gibson Custom Shop....
I read that his bass player is really using a guitar to play the bass line
i´m with ya, dog ... R.I.P. ... and thanx a million & more to bruce iglauer: the best alligator records ever (or so). by the way, he was named roosevelt jonas taylor on the death certificate.
Great!!!!!
Also @Randy Meadows, thanks for the story about Hound Dog shooting Brewer Phillips. Wow, I never would have guessed, seeing as they were band mates.
Love Hound Dog
What music is all about.
I LOVE it at 11:12 forward.... what an Introduction to a song.... Amazing...it says alot.... but brief..
This is so great. Thanks for posting!
6 fingers left hand
Amazin aint he.
he had six fingers on both hands, but the sixth finger was not used
Ya.I read somewhere he cut one off.Smh.He was soo special.
When i first heard him.I knew immediately that his sound was different.Like no other.
Always !!
holy crap!
Legendary , wow !!!
Like pure joy really.
I was there!!! (or so I'm told)
bdcause of him, Alligator Revords was created.
I must have been shoulder-to-shoulder with the cat who filmed this! What a gas...
I think they filmed this from a tree on the right side of the stage.
Just a little Bit of Awesome Sauce....
Thank you, you made my day with this video!
I hope his albums are this good and raw..I'll check on Amazon.
There in the front row
What do you all think of the GA-20 interpretations and playing of HDT music?
BADASS!!!
I wish the AV was half the quality as the music, but ain't no use complainin' bout that. It's the Blues.
Better this than nothing. And if only we had a video of Elmore even in this poor visual quality we would be happy
Hound dog alegria incontida de tocar o instrumento e cantar blues .aleluia!!!!!
Low down gut bucket blues like I used to see in Mississippi 40 years ago.
Istenem , de jó ! ! !
Deep and Dirty. Legend.
i think the amp is a fender, but the speaker is torn
I ripped mine can't see amp well . Mines blackstar stereo chorus not for fame or hound dog style much better
Hound Dog invented punk rock accidently
Either he's playin through fuzz box or the speakers are shot in his amp. Brill 🎸👍
Houndog is known for using cheap sears
guitars and shitty amps.
@@daveberswick5372 yes i agree. In fact i'v proved he used budget guitar and amps . Watch my hound dog taylor style slide guitar on my utube channel . I play a cheap strat copy and tiny 10w. Amp with the gain turned up . 👍🎸😎
He's actually ramned up treble on beat up amp easy sound to get I can do same bryl
@@alfiehenshall688 you are same as cal reason massive following . That's me speaker sliced squire tele back pickup replaced played blues 46 years not into fame
@@dontgoout1434 i too can get a 'rough' Houndog sound - check out my utube channel @ Alfie Henshall . 👍🎸😎
Master Dog was Som'in Else!
what Joe bonomassa will never be
Yep those suck learn Albert King riffs I yawn cal reasons real deal wow
One night after he got drunk he cut off the stub finger on his right hand,he was born with six fingers on each hand,Wikipedia fans
