No other band could have played this. Of course you make mistakes when you are reaching for something. Unique. No other harmonica player could play like that. Quite extraordinary.
Back then we didn't know how many bad notes Bloomers used to hit (I was 13), but it hardly mattered with all that excitement and passion and sound. Nobody in rock and electric blues was doing what Bloomfield was doing at that time. Of course there were great jazz players that would dismiss this as too uninformed and sloppy but kids like me freaked at the sound of it.
As would some just ok big band type sort of jazz players like me and certainly on a comparable level for me as well, oboe players of classical music, but by the same token we know how hard it is to perform without something not being quite right. I heard Issac Stern toward the end of his career give a brilliant rendition of the Brahms Violin Concerto in which he made several mistakes, but his interpretation was so incredible that it didn't matter, and the non-musicians in the audience didn't notice.
@@TedBurke nice. However your mum IS Kojak in a bikini. What kind of white supremacist ignoramus thinks a white guy is the best Blues harmonica player in history… you’re a sad joke
Compare this to the Beatles in 1966 -- The Revolver album, a very good album, a little bit of musical experimentation, but kindergarten compared to this piece. Rolling Stones in 1966 Aftermath, some very good stuff (Paint It Black), also growing beyond their R&B roots, but kindergarten also.

Boy you can feel the tension between Bloomfield and Bishop listening to this.

You can play any note you want to if it’s played fast enough.
PERFECT, I second that.
Hi Liz. How are you doing?
Bloomfield's guitar produces a real "wall of sound"...in 1966 anything like that
when the harp man on the two dollar Marine Band takes over ..... wasn't called the Paul Butterfield Blues Band for nothin'
Bloomfield's guitar work is genius and perfect, beautifully executed. And Butterfield is the greatest blues harmonica player in history.
Butterfield May have been one of the best Blues Rock harmonica players, but he certainly wasn’t the greatest Blues harmonica player in history.

Got that right Mendelflash! No question about it.
great Bloomfield!!
thanks for upload!!
My desert island tune.
Elvin is too loud when Bloomfield or Naftalin solo,but not when it is Butterfield. Knew who was the boss.
This is great!!!
The hair is rising on my arms! this is a resurection of sorts!
Paul B, surely the finest white blues man - Mayall pretty fine too.
Both masters. But please not let us forget the great Paul DeLay.
any body that asserts Michael was playing "bad notes" is just trying to make themselves bigger than he was.
My god, what show is this from!? Awesome. I must know!

So, September 20, 1966. Presumably at the Fillmore Auditorium; the Fillmore West didn't exist in 1966.
This was a day or two before I moved to California to go to school. I'm sad that II knew nothing about the music scene or about this music.
