I worked for Bo in 1982-84. A real human being. I recorded my first song in his barn studio with his kid’s band Offspring. We remained good friends for 25 years.
A co worker friend of mine ran into Bo late one night in a Dunkin Donut shop .. he was sitting there alone drink a coffee ☕️ after a show in Connecticut .. my buddy got to his car .. turned around and walked in and had a nice down to earth conversation with him … he said that Bo couldn’t be more nice , polite and down to earth !
Absolutely in love with Bo’s back up singer Cookie V true name Cornelia Redmond-Chavez. She sadly passed at 50 in 1999. So beautiful and sexy with the voice of an angel. You ROCKED Cookie V !

Bo Diddley was a beautiful human being...The type this world needs more of. I was fortunate enough to see him live twice. I caught him at the Central Washington state fair in Yakima, WA in September of 85. He graciously gave me his autograph after the show. I also saw him at the Showbox in Seattle, WA around 2004. Grunge pioneers Green River opened the show.
Sure was. Heard one of his albums about 55 years ago. It started me down the road as a don't- give -a-fuck dude. An attitude that has served me well till this day. I'm 72 and still don't give a shit or sweat the details. Works for me. lol

I'm just blown away with how much cool stuff is on TH-cam, including this video. I remember the old days before the internet where you just couldn't find stuff like this.
I would mostly agree, except IMO the bassist screws up the whole groove. He has this perfect in the pocket walking bass line, than suddenly just starts slapping on one note. WTF?
Great:- The one & only Mighty Bo Diddley. ….RnB royalty and rock n roll pioneer/ innovator. A massive favourite of mine here with the always sexy Cookie Vee on back up. Chris Newman, Southampton UK
Elvis was a great cover singer for the songs the real rockers were making but were kept under wraps due to the racist industry, if black artists were allowed the same platforms,freedom to be marketed and merchandized you'd never have heard of an Elvis, Jerry Lee or Pat.,
@@aarondigby9859 Nah, you're just jealous Elvis, Jerry Lee, and the other great white rockers were as good as the black ones. That's what really bothers you.
Incredible groove, i used to bliss out with Quicksilver Messengers live version of 20 minutes ...but this is virtually just Bo keeping this going and dancing too....god bless you mr bo
Damnit Curtis I was just gonna post a comment saying the same thing. Obviously other guys see it too. I've watched a few of Bo's vids now and most often he has at least one pretty girl in his band. Or did have when he was still alive. I love this real rock and roll.
I enjoyed so much, fabulous video loved the style of stuff way back then it was fashion fabulous,thanks for sharing,🌈🎶🎸🏁☯️🍀🏄,Andy who's the beautiful blonde girl dancing in the crowd, do you believe in love at first sight she's become my sweetheart ❤️

Yes. When I was at the University of Florida Bo did a free concert for charity in a Walmart parking lot, around 1995 or 96. Great Man, lived in Archer Florida

That’s about the time I saw him at the Delta Blues Festival in Mississippi. Were you with him then ?
Jilly Ayn !!!!
Had the pleasure to meet Bo back in the '60s at "Gold Rush", an outdoor venue. Billed were Ike and Tina and Santana.
There's a phrase for fellahs like Bo Diddley..."They don't make 'em like that no more".
No siree, they sure as hell don't.
Absolutely in love with Bo’s back up singer Cookie V true name Cornelia Redmond-Chavez. She sadly passed at 50 in 1999. So beautiful and sexy with the voice of an angel. You ROCKED Cookie V !
That is sad, she was a beautiful lady.
She was fabulous. Mona!
people like that seem to die early as though god knew they were too good for this earth and recalled them back to paradise

Thank you for sharing this... Now I know who she is and was. Very easy on the eyes also she has a beautiful voice.
50 years ago but it never ages.

Saw him in 1968 and twice in the 1980s.
He signed a CD cover for me
Love the mod and rocker dancing. This is a classic video. Bo was the real King of Rock and Roll.

Teddy boys and rockers. No mods.
That would be like walking into the lion's den!
I totally agree
@@leeetchells609 Yup... zero mods

I like the blonde lady dancing
The whole show was good
Thanks
Bo sounds great but daaaamn... The backup singer is lookin' fine!! She owned the stage.
yessss
Sweet mama 👌
Chicago here, looks like 70'sTeddy boys dancing to Bo's big beat.
Apart from England V SCOTLAND in 1967, this has to be the best ever performance at Wembullee!
And you had to ruin the moment, by mentioning the "porridge goblins", cheers Jim!😂😂😂😂
Love the teddy boys groovin to Bo the King👑. Ten 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thanks for posting 😃👍

The last few minutes of this are gold. He's got the signal locked and is broadcasting infinite groove. Even Chuck is like, this dude is the MAN.

@@knytrydr73 probably on speed

Saw him twice in newcastle uk, got back stage & had a toke with him, coolest black man ever......RIP Bo.
No matter what musical beat they come up with the Bo Diddley beat is the best .If it doesn't get your feet tapping nothing will.RIP Bo.
the crowd shots are hilarious, wish the camera stayed on the stage more
Did I really see Lemmy Kilmester standing there in the audience on 02:00 min?
Bo is the King of Rock. Elvis was a decent gospel singer.
Elvis was a great cover singer for the songs the real rockers were making but were kept under wraps due to the racist industry, if black artists were allowed the same platforms,freedom to be marketed and merchandized you'd never have heard of an Elvis, Jerry Lee or Pat.,
@@aarondigby9859 Nah, you're just jealous Elvis, Jerry Lee, and the other great white rockers were as good as the black ones.
That's what really bothers you.
Elvis made the movies.
America’s greatest export was her music, it created nations as well brought them to the end.
This video should have a million likes. It's really good.
Love Bo Diddley!!!
One of the best that there ever was!
I saw Bo Diddley, Carl Perkins, and Fats Domino in 1978. What a show!!!
Lucky dog!
Rock Icon, I will always be coming back to it !
He's got a sheffifs hat on because HE IS THE LAW!!!
Jep
A sheriff who happens to have played guitar before he went lawman
Love this. The Teds are an added bonus
Incredible groove, i used to bliss out with Quicksilver Messengers live version of 20 minutes ...but this is virtually just Bo keeping this going and dancing too....god bless you mr bo
Happy trails is a great album
Another great talent that was never appreciated for hi skill! Go Bo!
Bullshit!
🥰🥰🥰🥰I recalled that the first time I watched this was on a VHS music tape.
Love this, my fav, the tambourine dancer/singer is soooo beautiful!

Yep, she's a sweetie, for damn sure. Please consider Bo as our gift to the world. Seriously. An American original.
Bo!! The rawest testosterone that ever hit the stage.
💛BO💛
his music lives forever

No one could integrate a guitar with a song and produce such a driving effect; no one.
Bo was a drummer before he played guitar. Might have smth to do with it.
He really seems to be enjoying himself. I love that!
j.adore cette femme c.est la meillieur guitariste que connait🥰💋💕👍
I totally cannot dance until I've combed my hair. Now that I've shaved it I can dance anytime anywhere anyhow!
I enjoyed so much, fabulous video loved the style of stuff way back then it was fashion fabulous,thanks for sharing,🌈🎶🎸🏁☯️🍀🏄,Andy who's the beautiful blonde girl dancing in the crowd, do you believe in love at first sight she's become my sweetheart ❤️
My friend, Sid Herring, and his band, The Gants, recorded Roadrunner in about 1965 and launched their music career from it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I remember that rendition, groovy man✌️
The Rolling Stones recorded a great version too
Comb the quiff - shrug the shoulders - and git to it boy - grooving man
Rythm and sound unbeatable, beautiful backup singer. Love this....
I have always admired his cool clothes, the shoes to the embroidered jackets, pants, and soulful shoes.
Great to see Big Bad Bo‼️Those Teds, really takes me back✌️🌻

Probably the greatest of them all.

Who didn't have a crush on Ms Thang(Cookie)
that rhythm is just unbelievable
This stuff
Id what o gtew up p
On
That's Bo Didley
Yeah Bo Diddley, yeah .....
Look how beautiful the women were back then.
They looked really wholesome and clean.
Steven. Bo was great in the 50s and he is still, still great NOW. I HAVE ALL, ALL, ALL HIS SONGS. COOL DADDY-O. RIGHT-ON.✌😎✌✌😆🤘👊😁✊
That’s probably the most cool people I’ve ever seen in one place
Thank you! That was very special. You can feel a lot about the man by watching and listening to him play. A huge lot of warmth! Blessings! Xxx
The Brits know how to rock n roll. You don't see Americans dancing like that.
Love that image of Chuck Berry at the end, trying to drag Bo back on stage for an encore!
Look at those old turntables and mixer at the end. I didn't know they had mixers in 1972.
Good old times..
Ok boomer.
@@jouflow - - Check your privilege. One good cliché deserves another.
I have a DVD with the whole show on it. The cover says that it happened in 1973.
Well post it dear Liza - Post it on TH-cam
One of the greatest videos ever made showing Bo, his band, and his fans !
Hawthorne Florida, Cowpen Lake, Bo Diddley's stomping grounds. Beautiful to cruise through that country and love that Hoodoo boogie
Yes. When I was at the University of Florida Bo did a free concert for charity in a Walmart parking lot, around 1995 or 96. Great Man, lived in Archer Florida
Love this version of roadrunner. Bo is on it here. The backing band are really good too.
good old days for sure
great footage , hehe...
Saw Bo live in the early 60s in Texas. Huge fan!
Rock On!!!
Именно так горячо и было в далёкой молодости!
Love it. Music unites. Some great soul moves here 🙏
One of true originators of R&R!
I have only soft sound , no volume. Any idea why ? Roy b, Cape Town, south africa.
Awesome
Great voices and best music ever with the god of rock n roll
Terry Clemson R.I.P. (Downliners Sect) on guitar.
Bo never sounded this good with those giant Marshall stacks behind him!!
A King!!
That watch is so hot, its smokin! 😂
THANKS TH-cam I REALLY NEEDED AN AD FOR AN AUDI RIGHT DURING MONA
SUPER
Ohh Chuck Berry at the end..he knew real talent when he saw it...
@Fuzzy Butkus shut the fuck up!!
Unique and brilliant
Mods and Rockers ... time machine.
Surprised they stopped fighting each other long enough to enjoy the show.
John Peel enjoying the music !!
I was there!
Real roots.
Bo’s as primal as John Lee Hooker. A Delta rock and roller.
So much energy!
Too Good!
Un grand merci c'est un grand du blues
Turn it up!!!
oh yeah!!
When I come back in the life, I want to be Elias McDaniel.
The sideburns, the belt buckles, ....
The dancing is good
Teds forever.
There were no punk rock fans then. But You can recognize that some potential later punk rock fans dance. It's just no charts music. And rock'n'roll.
Mick Jagger knew that this festival blew anything they ever did away..i love the stones man but this song and that backup singer was way hip
Interesting hair styles on those boy's. Sort of post-hippie-Mod with elements of Punk. With a tad 1950s greaser. Cool.
Bo didn’t give a fuck as long as the check cleared
Punks dancing to rockabilly spaghetti style sounds like a nice era.
With Cookie V backup singer
Got his MOJO working !
There was only one Bo
the best rimboe rocker ever🦚
These cats dancing , I would’ve been front roll letting bo’s saliva hit my face . A true legend
