I knew John ( Slightly) 1961, In Manchester, England, UK. I sometimes visited John's, home in Manchester, with some of his Manchester, Friends We all would listen to John's, imported U.S.A, Jazz albums ( Iisten all night ) John, and ourselves were Interested in U.S.A Hard Bop. Anyway, Peace to all !!!
I last saw him in concert in 2015 in Graz, Austria. Before the concert starts, we come to the foyer of the hall to buy a T-shirt and next to the T-shirt counter there was a CD stand. And then shock, Mr John Mayall himself was selling CDs and he was very pleasant and completely down to earth and not at all arrogant (unlike some stars), chatting with everyone with great pleasure.
Thanks Pete for the tribute to an incredible musician. I love John Mayall’s music. He helped so many different musicians to go different ways in the music world today. RIP John Mayall.
We have lost another Rock legend especially with Rock, Blues and a little bit of everything else in his music and his band the Bluesbreakers which at one time or another included many future Rock music legends in their own right R.I.P. John. 🎶🎶🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁🎶🎶
Back To The Roots is the first album of his I bought and it being at the moment. Still one of my favorites as it highlighted some of John's keyboard/piano playing to me. My cousin, John, introduced the Bluesbreaker album to the oft-mentioned older brother and me. They played it constantly and had my brother periodically repeating the graffiti mantra of the day "Clapton is God". Had most of the albums that John issued from the mid-60s through the 70s. A musician whose impact was not just him individually but was magnified by the talent he found and highlighted that move forward elsewhere in their careers. Truly the godfather of British blues. Thanks to you, Pete, for once again providing a heartfelt tribute to another great musician so many of us enjoy. And thanks to John Mayall for all that great music. RIP.
Great stuff.I remember being equally impressed with John’s voice as well as Clapton’s tone from that early Bluesbreakers breakthrough album. If Clapton had stayed a couple more years would have been nice for John’s exposure and popularity.
the Bingo album, I believe was the first use of Marshall amps, which made the sound so loud and stinging....not a big Clapton fan, but loved Mayall's enthusiasm and experimentation ...especially the late 60's albums....and he released a standalone track "i''m Your Witch Doctor" later covered by Motorhead...so he stretched genres and generations...a true Renaissance Man ...RIP
#2, "Turning Point," turned me on to Jon Mark and Jonny Almond, great musicians with an excellent catalog. It is one of his most famous releases after "Bluesbrakers." It is a must for all collectors.
I saw him once . With Mick Taylor at The Cellar , a small venue in the N. W. Chicago suburbs . Saw Cream , Steppenwolf , 3 Dog Night , Blue Cheer , Jefferson Airplane , Yardbirds with J. Page...and many others there.
Nice tribute, Pete: thank you. There was no-one more central to the British blues boom than John Mayall. I had the good fortune to hear a fine version of the Bluesbreakers in the mid-90s at a small club here in North East England and the charisma and talent of their main man just filled the room. Luckily he's left behind a massive legacy of recordings to keep his memory alive for many years to come.
In the early 90’s when I was in my mid-teens, I watched a show of Mayall’s from the Montreal Jazz fest. It was interesting and fun. Here was a dude having a great time with solid musicians. I was entertained.
Legend is an overworked word. In John Mayall's case it barely scratches the surface. Lovely tribute Pete as always. RIP John - time for some Bluesbreakers...
John Mayall's career had a Resurgence in the 1980's and on, along with great guitarists like Coco Montoya, Walter Trout, Sonny Landreth, Buddy Whittington, Rocky Athas and Carolyn Wonderland.
Some additional info: - Peter Green had played with Mayall prior to joining the Bluesbreakers. When Clapton took a sabatical to go play on the continent (they ended up in Greece) with friends, three guitarists took turns filling his spot with Mayall. Green, who did three gigs, was thinking the gig was his, so was extremely upset when Clapton returned after several weeks and reclaimed his spot in the band (Mayall had promised it would be his upon his return). As a result Green was reluctant to join Mayall when Clapton quit. - Prior to Clapton's departure to form Cream, a young Mick Taylor filled in for him when he was a no-show at a gig in north London. Clapton's Marshall amp and Les Paul were onstage but he was missing. So after the first set Taylor, urged on by his mates, offered his services. Mayall asked if he knew the tunes...and he picked up Clapton's guitar and played a set that highly impressed the bandleader. However, Taylor left before Mayall could get his contact info. So when Clapton quit, Mayall, who apparently wanted Taylor didn't know who he was or how to get ahold of him. So he called Green, who played hard to get. - Taylor was aware of Green's departure, and when he saw an anonymous ad in the Melody Maker seeking a guitarist for a top blues band he knew who it was and applied to audition. His first album with the band was 'Crusade', on which he excelled, most notably on instrumentals 'Driving Sideways' and 'Snowy Wood', the latter being his own composition. - Taylor also appeared on the studio albums 'Bare Wires' and 'Blues From Laurel Canyon'. He is also on the live 'Diary of a Band - Vols One and Two'. - IMO Taylor is at his best on 'I Started Walking' ('Bare Wires') and the live version of that track where drummer Jon Hiseman pushes Taylor from start to finish. What a killer track. - Though 'A Hard Road' with Green has Aynsley Dunbar drumming - he then went to the Jeff Beck Group for a short stint and the single 'Tallyman'/'Rock My Plimsoul' - and he appears on a couple singles, Mick Fleetwood was also onboard for gigs and some singles during the Green era. One of those singles was named 'Fleetwood Mac'. Go listen to the excellent 'So Many Roads' and 'It Hurts Me Too'. Green, Fleetwood and John McVie are also onboard for 'Live in London 1967', three CDs (thus far) of gigs recorded by a fan and cleaned up by Mayall. They reveal just how ripping a player Green was, which is not so evident on 'A Hard Road'. - Now, back to Clapton being a no-show at the gig Taylor stepped up for. Clapton - by his own admission a self-centred arrogant jerk at the time - had gone to the Marquee to see the Loving Spoonful. (Coincidentally, the red Les Paul named 'Lucy' that he gave to George Harrison previously belonged to the Loving Spoonful's John Sebastian. It started as a sunburst with a Bigsby. Rick Derringer of the McCoys (and later with Johnny and Edgar Winter) purchased it, had it refinished in red and the Bigsby removed. Given that his is of relatively small stature he possibly had the (typically large) neck shaved down for his smaller hands. Whatever, he disliked the result and put the guitar back up for sale. Clapton purchased it when touring with Cream. He like thin necks. He would later play it on the Beatles' 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', after being invited to play on the track whilst enroute to the studio with Harrison. I believe that Peter Frampton also played it on Doris Troy's 'Ain't That Cute' after being brought 'round to the studio to meet Harrison. The Beatle, producing the session, invited Frampton to play on the track. After playing rhythm for a few bars Harrison insisted that Frampton play lead and that he, Harrison, would handle rhythm. And on and on these anecdotes roll....
Thanks Pete, great tribute to the best damned blues man to come out of Macclesfield. He’s gone to join quite a few former band mates, Bluesbreakers in Heaven would be quite a band. RIP John Mayall.
Awesome musician, and mentor-JOHN MAYALL -IS THEFATHER OF BRITISH BLUES ROCK, ‘ROCK. , GOD AND THE ANGELS , IN YOURAUTHENTIC STYLE-GREAT JOHN MAYALL!!!!!!!
Thank you Pete for the tribute, huge lost in the blues and British blues scene a legend indeed. I’m glad he’s inducted in the Hall later this year, shows how clueless the rock hall is, he should’ve been inducted years ago. Anyway another video if you can find I haven’t seen it in a while, John perform couple years ago at Peter Green Tribute concert thing from couple years ago, anyway at that time in his late 80s his playing is still amazing for that age. RIP John Mayall
He was outstanding when we watched him perform years ago in Annapolis, MD. His guitarist at that time was Buddy Whittington, one of many he nurtured and mentored. Three of the most famous being Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Walter Trout. He will be missed, RIP Mr. Mayall!
The Headmaster of the School of British Blues. Like everybody else my age, we had to rush out there to get the BEANO album and while it seems tame today but back then it was so special. The other album I loved in the day was Jazz Blues Fusion, great album.
A great comp (if you can still get it) is the London Blues 2-disc set. All the best of pre-Clapton, Clapton and Green era. I can’t remember if there’s any Mick Taylor on there. (there’s another 2-disc comp with the late 60s to early 70s until he signed with ABC records)
Thanks Pete. Growing up listening to those John Mayall albums brings back great memories. He never seemed to make a bad album. Beside the classics I'd urge everyone to check out his acoustic American band of the late '60s early '70s. Beautiful stuff.
And prior to being in the Bluesbreakers Keef Hartley was with Art Wood & the Artwoods, a band fronted by Art Wood, brother of Ronnie Wood, and featuring future Deep Purple organist Jon Lord.
You could spend a full day talking about the musicians he played in his band Eric Clapton and Mick taller and John McGee and Mick Fleetwood and the list goes on and on and on and on and on
Love that album with Eric Clapton, have that in my library, haven’t heard anything else from him though. My roommate at the time, the nineties, got it from a burkley cd shop. It was a rare find even than. He brought it home put it in,and wow!it was amazing.
A lot of people don't know, back in the 80's John wasn't really doing anything new in music, but he was doing carpentry work-remodeling and framing houses. He said it was his "honest" work, later he hooked up with Koko Montoya and got back to making new records-but he still kept his hammer nearby.
Nice tribute, Pete! I saw John at the Sunderland Empire around the turn of the century. His band were great. He had Pete Green's Splinter Group in support, doing their thing. I remember an instrumental Man of the World being really moving that night. I'm sure time will be true to John Mayall's legacy. Will check out that live '67 album!
Saw john mayall on the turning point tour supported by the keef hartley band. Keef was an alumni too. Great show but spit james and miller anderson stole it! Rip.
I've heard of him. I've seen his name around, but I've never heard to my knowledge any of his music. I need to check his music out. I'm fan of blues rock, and blues. Can't understand how John M slipped by.
Check out early Graham Bond, while you're at it. Doing that will also lead you to early Colosseum. Also, two Bond sidemen -- later forming Colosseum -- can be found on John Mayall's excellent album, Bare Wires ('68).

John Mayall - the soundtracks of my life !
90 is a good age, especially when you consider how deep he was involved in the '60s and '70s music scene. RIP Mr. Mayall.
By all accounts, he was less of a 'sex and drugs' guy than many others. Anyway, it's still fantastic that he led such a long and rich life:)
I knew John ( Slightly) 1961, In Manchester, England, UK.
I sometimes visited John's, home in Manchester, with some of
his Manchester, Friends
We all would listen to John's, imported U.S.A, Jazz albums ( Iisten all night )
John, and ourselves were Interested in U.S.A Hard Bop.
Anyway, Peace to all !!!
John Mayall typifies what's good in music. A true legend and from the heart and soul.
I last saw him in concert in 2015 in Graz, Austria. Before the concert starts, we come to the foyer of the hall to buy a T-shirt and next to the T-shirt counter there was a CD stand. And then shock, Mr John Mayall himself was selling CDs and he was very pleasant and completely down to earth and not at all arrogant (unlike some stars), chatting with everyone with great pleasure.
Great tribute Pete for a great man John Mayall RIP.
We had the pleasure of seeing John twice and I also got to meet him. A real nice man and he sure helped many get started. He will be missed...
Thanks Pete. That run of albums from Bluesbreakers through to The Turning point is as good as anything produced in the 1960’s . RIP blues man.
John Mayall "Turning Point" album one of his best
And a day before the last original member of The Four Tops, Duke Fakir passed away at the age of 88.
Thanks Pete for the tribute to an incredible musician. I love John Mayall’s music. He helped so many different musicians to go different ways in the music world today. RIP John Mayall.

🎶🎶🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁🎶🎶
It’s not just guitar players too. He also had many legendary drummers like Jon Hiseman.
Exactly! Keef Hartley and Hughie Flint too.
+ Aynsley Dunbar…
A great musician and an even greater man. Thanks for the tribute!
I was lucky enough to see him some 40 year’s ago . Yes a legend. Great tribute.
Great tribute Pete! The Bluesbreakers’ album with Eric Clapton is a classic and I’ve always loved Jazz Blues Fusion.
RIP Mr. Mayall, you will always be remembered🙏🏿
Thank you Pete for a lovely tribute to the great man.
Man how we're gonna miss him greatly. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another legend gone, what a legacy. Think you said it all Pete.
Away now to put on my rather battered "Beano" album.🙏
Ansley Dunbar is another from the Bluesbreakers. Thanks for changing the world John, you will be missed... 😢
He was the pope of the british blues scene, Along with Alexis Korner he influenced so many musicians all over the world. R.I.P John Mayall

Damn, RIP. Bluesbreakers is still one of Clapton's best albums.
Nice tribute Pete. R.I.P. Sir.

If you want to know what John Mayall meant to musicians, watch Eric Clapton’s tribute to John.
Yes indeed , Eric absolutely heartbroken..

As usual/ great tribute Pete to another LEGEND 👍💯
Thank You Pete.Love from London.
RIP to a legend. I picked up his Bare Wires album today and that was before finding this out. Absolute Blues legend.
🌠REALLY GOOD TRIBUTE BOSS PETE..
Thanks Pete
Always loved Broken Wings.
What a life and legacy he created. Just amazing

John Mayall: USA Union with Jon Mark and Johnny Almond (of Mark-Almond fame).
Awesome musician, and mentor-JOHN MAYALL -IS THEFATHER OF BRITISH BLUES ROCK, ‘ROCK. , GOD AND THE ANGELS , IN YOURAUTHENTIC STYLE-GREAT JOHN MAYALL!!!!!!!
Saw John Mayall as support for BB King amazing.
Macclesfield is only about 20 miles from where I was born..
Sad news 😢😢😢😢

Bare Wires is a classic!
When I was in college, I bought USA Union and loved it! Not all I listened to but it was the first of his music!
He was outstanding when we watched him perform years ago in Annapolis, MD. His guitarist at that time was Buddy Whittington, one of many he nurtured and mentored. Three of the most famous being Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Walter Trout. He will be missed, RIP Mr. Mayall!
Jazz,blues,fusion 1972. My favorite
I am not a massive blues fan but as you say Pete the great blues players get awesome musicians to play with/in their bands
Mr Trower and Mr Gallagher
I’m from Buffalo but in the late 80’s I saw Mayall at the Chance in Poughkeepsie. Great show!
The Headmaster of the School of British Blues. Like everybody else my age, we had to rush out there to get the BEANO album and while it seems tame today but back then it was so special. The other album I loved in the day was Jazz Blues Fusion, great album.
Maybe you can do a top ten albums of John Mayall show.
Great idea but a huge task to do it justice. He must have made fifty or sixty albums and they're all good.
A great comp (if you can still get it) is the London Blues 2-disc set. All the best of pre-Clapton, Clapton and Green era. I can’t remember if there’s any Mick Taylor on there. (there’s another 2-disc comp with the late 60s to early 70s until he signed with ABC records)
Great Tribute
One of the best of all time
I only saw JM once, about 25 yrs ago, supported by Peter Green...amazing night..
RIP Sir.. Thanks for the music..thanks for the entertainment ..
Nice tribute
Nice work, Pete.
Thanks Pete. Growing up listening to those John Mayall albums brings back great memories. He never seemed to make a bad album. Beside the classics I'd urge everyone to check out his acoustic American band of the late '60s early '70s. Beautiful stuff.
Keef Hartley played with John Mayall, just before forming the 'Keef Hartley band'.
And prior to being in the Bluesbreakers Keef Hartley was with Art Wood & the Artwoods, a band fronted by Art Wood, brother of Ronnie Wood, and featuring future Deep Purple organist Jon Lord.
Very nice, Pete. There are two more CDs of those live 1967 recordings with Peter Green - great stuff.
You could spend a full day talking about the musicians he played in his band Eric Clapton and Mick taller and John McGee and Mick Fleetwood and the list goes on and on and on and on and on
The Art Blakey of British blues.
Well put 🎸
You just have to look at the list of greats that he's worked with and influenced. R.I.P
Great legend!
Love that album with Eric Clapton, have that in my library, haven’t heard anything else from him though. My roommate at the time, the nineties, got it from a burkley cd shop. It was a rare find even than. He brought it home put it in,and wow!it was amazing.
@TE.LEG.RAM_SeaOf_Tranquilityunfortunately I haven’t heard anything else from mayhall.what other albums can you recommend? Or similar artists.
An absolute legend but yet still underated as an artist. Would love you to do ranking of his best albums
RIP John mayal
It's sad to to see John Mayall who left us,the father of the british blue's.
A lot of people don't know, back in the 80's John wasn't really doing anything new in music, but he was doing carpentry work-remodeling and framing houses. He said it was his "honest" work, later he hooked up with Koko Montoya and got back to making new records-but he still kept his hammer nearby.

lovely tribute in the 70s i had a remarkably weird Mayall albums called diary of a band vols 1 and 2. must look for them again.
Saw J M in Sydney live in the early 80s
Classic no shirt and OZ stubbies
Legend . RiP
Empty Rooms underrated after Turning Point , USA U ion contains track Natures Disappearing , great eco warning from 50+ years ago .
R I P true legend
How's the audio on those 1967 live recordings?
He lived literally 1 mile from me when he was younger, he was famous for living in a Tree House and subsequently refusing to pay his local taxes!
Saw john mayall on the turning point tour supported by the keef hartley band. Keef was an alumni too. Great show but spit james and miller anderson stole it! Rip.

A ton of albums that nobody bought.I hate noodling blues.
