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!
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!
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 ✝️
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!
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.)
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.
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 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.

Wow!!!
Wow 🫶🏽👏🏽🩵
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing. Is it true Hound Dog Taylor had 6 fingers on one hand?

One of the best musicians you can hitch your wagon to!
I saw HOUND DOG in person...sat three feet directly in front of him when he performed....

This should be in the Library of Congress...i am dead serious...it is culturally significant.
Maybe the greatest music video ever !
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!!
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

@@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.

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."
thanks to alligator records i discovered hound dog,bless them and you for this video.
same here, back in the early 80s
Outstanding drummer ‼️. This video alone makes TH-cam essential‼️😎🔥🎸
Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival 1973
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 WISH YOU......." 😂😂😂 Love the Hound.
one of the most exciting acts I ever caught--and I've seen a lot
Totally ageee
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!"
my brother and i were at that show,also saw magic sam
I am so down with The Dog.
How could a blues lover not be??
He has so much joy playing!!!
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.)
I remember that afternoon like it was yesterday. Rock on, Dog!
Me too!!!
Rip dad long live the blues
I was at this concert.
Brilliant this is real legend he left so much great music behind him for us.so we keep it alive for ever.
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.
Bad ass, sounds so good
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.
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.
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.
"Thank you, doggone it - I feel alright!" That is one happy bluesman.
Sadie - thanks Mr. Taylor, that is the Blues!
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt Taylor
Still love me some Hound Dog!
HooEEE! That's a rockin' guitar tone! These guys are unstoppable!
best Blues band of all times !
I got to see him many times at Southern Illinois University.
It's dirty, it's filthy, it's sticky but above it's the sun
Can’t get any better than this, love iT.
One of the true pioneers, god bless his soul
Many THX's to the 'Poster' of this clip for the Information
Very NICE
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 🤗
I never believed that there are Videos of him and I´m happy about that ! Hound Dog - the hardest Boogie Player at that time !
Thank ya, dog gone it! Hound dog do it for me tonight!
Grande dog; a guitarra nas mãos dele vira um brinquedo
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.
I hear so much of Hound Dog in SRV.
White Stripes too
teacher and student!
White copycats suck
Not so much ,SRV rarely played slide ……Go see Albert King instead….
Wow! Thanks for sharing this!
Blues Original ❤

Wow! Thanks for sharing this👍
What a killer tone. So crispy
This video is absolutely perfect
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
Blues, blues, blues... real and great !
It's like Hound Dog and his guitar are locked in battle, going blow for blow.
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
Thank you for digging this up, keep up the good work
cant speak words, but the man did play.
Unreal Tone!
Love Hound Dog
Excellent❤❤❤
Just a little Bit of Awesome Sauce....
Awesome 😊
Love Hound Dog Taylor and Now Thanks to You I can Live the Moment.
❤❤❤❤
I read that his bass player is really using a guitar to play the bass line
What music is all about.
I was there!!! (or so I'm told)
Great!!!!!
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 🎸🤮 👏👍
Es un buen músico
Love it!
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.
Always !!
holy crap!
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.
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.
bdcause of him, Alligator Revords was created.
Istenem , de jó ! ! !
Like pure joy really.
Deep and Dirty. Legend.
Hound dog alegria incontida de tocar o instrumento e cantar blues .aleluia!!!!!
BADASS!!!
Master Dog was Som'in Else!
Legendary , wow !!!
I LOVE it at 11:12 forward.... what an Introduction to a song.... Amazing...it says alot.... but brief..
Smile
音がエグい！！
What do you all think of the GA-20 interpretations and playing of HDT music?
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.
Take that Gibson Custom Shop....
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
I hope his albums are this good and raw..I'll check on Amazon.
There in the front row
❤
This is so great. Thanks for posting!
......Is You with Me....Thank You DARLIN,,,,To the very front and back.....;--),,,,,,,,,
Its a shame the video portion is in such poor shape, but the audio is great!
