The best thing that could have happened to a blues fan was to be at a Luther Allison show and having never heard of Luther Allison because what lay ahead was an electrifying man who on a foundation of blues funk delivered thunder, lightning in a blitzkrieg of ecstasy. Been no one like him ever since! He's right up there with the big three Kings, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy and Steve Ray.
Well, he was, as you probably know, based in Europe (Paris)for many years, and I think he was pretty popular there, and appeared regularly at Montreux Jazz Fest. I think he received many accolades and awards towards the end of his all too short life. He's still highly admired - we know that because so many of you tell us that he's really good but not so famous!
Where would we be without these wonderful archives .I'm so thankful to TH-cam for breaking out the archives collection.paying dues and remembering the original and not forgotten blues artists.
Ich habe Luther Allison so oft live erlebt und ich liebe ihn! Egal, wann und wie oft ich ihn sehe, er berührt mich so tief! Ich bin ihm unendlich dankbar!
Awesome, when I discovered him myself through his Bad News is Coming album I couldn't believe he wasn't more famous. Right up there with Buddy Guy IMO.
Luther was one of the best for show and blues guitar...I am a fan. I Remember him in Paris where he lived for ten years (one night he jammed in a small bars in the 9arrond. of Paris). he was well known here as "the real mc Coy". In the 90', he used to hang around in Pigalle's guitar shop to fix his axes and talk about music. I can't believe that a bad Cancer killed him just one month after that great performance.(this was on the fourth of July 97, and he passed on the 12 of August). So Long LU!!!!
Oh man, what a performance! A total bluesman - fantastic guitar player, great bluesy voice, his ability to work the crowd and best of all, a great charming personality. There is no equal. One can watch this video over and over again, and invariably feel you want to watch it once more.
I saw him in 80 or 81 in south France at 3 o'clock in a "boite de nuit" , alone , 10 people were arond , too stone... and he played... 20 min, always alone... and after we had a beer together , thats all :)
gave me one of the great blues visuals i ever had. on stage at a rock festival in steven's point, wisc circa 1977. his set was at night and my seat was within 3ft (i was working in(secure)ity for the festival. as i looked up his head was silhouetted by the lights. i never forget the sweat dripping from him while steam was rising from him into the cool night air. unforgettable, as is his music, da blues r.i.p. 1997
I could listen to him all day- come to think of it I have. Luther was amazing, no one comes close. He would play his ass off, Luther and the band were on fire. [ Later I became a fan of James Soulberg his rhythm guitar player].
I first discovered Luther Allison from MySpace, years ago, when you would post some music, and they would recommend some stuff that they thought you might like. They were right!!!
To Ruf Records... Ó what a fantastic music presented by magic Luther Allison...!!! Bravo...O.K. I love it so much...so much...Up to the black musician people...JOŠi, 10022016, 05.55
he died in the 90's, when is this show from? awesome show by the way.....saw him several times shortly before his death at the zoo bar in lincoln ne.... best shows ever. walked the entire bar then dismounted with finess.....at 70+ years old. left the states due to the tax man. became the BB King of europe in paris exile. One of the greatest of all-time. Best kept secret from many. Met his son Bernhard in Germany in 92'. He said you think I'm good.......you gotta go see my dad....and I did !!!
The best and least recognized blues artist I know of. Spread the word. Hid son is playing now.

❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍Oh, yessssssss!
Amen. Absolutely. The One.
7:02 "I might not be around..." kills me (miss you Luther!)
Luther Allison: one of the all-time greats. Not as famous as a lot of the blues guitarists out there...I can`t imagine why.
I don't know why but he definetly is among the best.

Absoltly Agree .. for me he is one of the best .. i also was wondering why he hasnt the place he should ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another GOD ON STRINGS these GUYS don't mess YEAHA YEAHA ROCK'EM BLUES LUTHER REBEL DAT GUITAR DADDY ❤ GOD ON STRINGS❤❤❤
Where would we be without these wonderful archives .I'm so thankful to TH-cam for breaking out the archives collection.paying dues and remembering the original and not forgotten blues artists.
I am OBSESSED with the song It Hurts Me Too......and Luther makes my soul cry ❤️❤️❤️
Listen to FOGHAT live version . Dayton Ohio 1997 🎸🔊🤘🙏
KEEP ROCKIN'
@@stevemann3080 ….Luther is better than Foghat.
It breaks you down and exhilarates all at the same time. It's amazing.
@@barbarablonsky7521 Foghat is inspired by Luther. And rightfully so. But Luther is The One.

For me he is Absolutly one pf the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Why isn't he right up there with the top blues players? It's not fair
One of the most underrated players in the business!
A tremendous talent that was gone far too soon. Glad I had the chance to see him in person. Your jaw just fell to the floor at how good he was!!
Hatte das Glück, dass ich die Band in Zürich live erleben konnte. Grossartige Band!!!
One of the most fun times I had at a concert was dancing to Luther Allison jamming at the Cabooze Bar in Minneapolis while I was tripping.
Awesome live performance by all! Extra Kudos for a band that knows how to pay with vocalists. GREAT dynamics, great live sound.
Awesome, when I discovered him myself through his Bad News is Coming album I couldn't believe he wasn't more famous. Right up there with Buddy Guy IMO.
Luther beats Buddy five times over!

Saw him about the same time in Bloomington, Indiana. Same reaction - phenomenal talent, phenomenal showman. He is missed.
Saw him play many times at the Church Key Madison, Wi. 70's. One time he came up and talked with me.
Wow!
I love when Luther rocks out like this.A master class.
I could listen to him all day- come to think of it I have. Luther was amazing, no one comes close. He would play his ass off, Luther and the band were on fire. [ Later I became a fan of James Soulberg his rhythm guitar player].
+merc1110, James Solberg Band has some great albums out. Couple of WC Handy awards, too.
