@@johnstill1451 You don't know what you're talking about.. for sure.. and when Hooker collaborated with some of the best it was always an event but Clapton & the Stones weren't exactly 'starting out' when this was recorded in 1989

This was AC on Steel Wheels. I was at one the 3 shows. JLH was fine this night, but when I was there he was drunk as a skunk. Keith and Ronnie had to get him off the stage. Pretty funny.
John Lee was probably one of the coolest....greatest blues players in history....I remember when he passed and Thorogood said he and his band would be nothing without John Lee.
The Hook was the greatest Bluesman of all time. I love all his Blues, gives credence to: "The blues had a baby and they named it Rock 'n Roll. Love Muddy too.
Kevin Vieira I see this video only got a few thousand hits. Then I go to Justin Bieber's latest video & see he got a billion hits! How can I explain this to my young children?
@@patriciawright8786 Rock and especially the Blues will take time to be appreciated by the younger generation. But loving music is a good start. As the horizons expand so will the repertoire increase. Enjoy the Rock and Blues for yourself in the interim.
I was blessed to see this blues master back in the early 70's at the Long Beach Auditorium in Long Beach, Ca. He opened the show followed by Canned Heat doing the boogie/blues they were famous for. When they ended their set they honored their hero John Lee Hooker by having him return to the stage where they backed John Lee for about an hour long set!! Absolutely blew the roof off of the place! It doesn't get better than that.
@@Cashrock Absolutely! I grew up in the right place at the right time. Saw a whole lot of bands that kicked ass. One of the bands that I really liked I started seeing them when we were in high school at back yard parties, auditoriums and bars called Mammouth. They eventually changed their name and became international superstars. You may have heard of them, Van Halen.
@@neilphelan145 really cool, big Van Halen fan too, glad they changed the name, I don't think it would've worked out so well if they had kept it, though I saw Wolfgang's using it now. Yeah if you grew up in Cali in that period I'm sure you must've seen quite a lot of epic bands, good stuff man!!
Keith, Eric and Ron are in absolute heaven. Even in his late years, Keith called John Lee,a "Dirty Swine" as a measure of respect. In other words, a badass.
Hooker is otherworldly. A unique, all-powerful force. Playing behind him is NOT easy, and playing WITH him is next to impossible. So, look carefully at what Charlie Watts is doing. His drumming is perfect for thing song. Watts gets it. Very few do.
Don’t believe the hype trying to make something that is really simple look amazing not to say that I’ve haven’t always enjoyed it it was the first things I’ve learned on the guitar that was back in 1971 him and BB King was on my record table over and over again learning the Licks on my ES 345 I still enjoy it even after being paralyzed for seven years and learning how to play again but after a couple of years I learned how to play jazz and chord melody doesn’t mean that I always enjoyed John Lee Hooker especially his singing and the lyrics are used to make up I had a double LP that had like 20 songs on the side too bad I turned the LP into a pizza meaning it was so scratched up that it was unlistenable too so enjoy but don’t make them seem like the ultimate in learning how to play the guitar Your phrase the kitties keeping up it’s just so ignorant it’s all about hype don’t add to it
I saw John Lee Hooker around this period at The Palace Theater in LA. Sold out with a bunch of kids ready to Boogie! The curtain parts and there is the Hook sitting on a cafeteria chair with pretty much that outfit on, but with a black hat. He proceeds to sing the saddest slowest, blues number about divorcing his wife, it was awesome, pulled the rug out from the whole audience! Welcome to the Blues! He had them in the palm of his hand for the rest of the evening. Classic
The look on the faces of Wood, Clapton, & Richards watching Hooker around the 3:00 minute mark! I’ve never heard quite those sounds out of a guitar, and I don’t think I ever saw Hooker up & moving like this.
YeeaaaHhhh...maann...JOHNNY LEE was ...& ..still IS ...THE KING OF THE BLUUUESS....maaannnn.... Nobody matches,up to him...not Muddy Waters, Albert King, B.B.KING...or even Howlin Wolf!! ...He's my favorite BLUES MAN! ...WOW!...Unfortunately, he's dead now!!..but his great BLUES MUSIC STILL LIVE ON!!!😮😮😅👍👌🙌🤟🎉
This is an amazing group of musicians coming together and playing phenomenal music. This is an experience of a lifetime. All of these icons performing and sounding damn good. This is so tastefully done.
I had front-row seat at the show, Atlantic City Convention Center 1989. Seems like yesterday, I can still see the way he made that noise with his guitar at 1:07 by spinning his middle finger in a circle. RIP John and Charlie.
1:40 Hooker dit OK à Clapton, puis cette dance si particulière d'un sénior, un black qui dance sur les notes d'un white, vingt Secondes après un solo à trois guitares.
Kids now days listening to rap music and heavy metal music too. But there is something about olds 50s and 60s music that you could listen too.... Chuck Berry, Little Richard, John Lee Hooker, made greatest at all time....
I miss these artists that had pure talent and required roadies to mop up all the soul off the stage that they poured outwhile performing. Can we please get some of these types of folks back into mainstream music again?
Legends
He was 72 here R.I.P. 1917-2001
Too young to die, an immortal legend ...Muddy waters and he, the greatest ever..
When English guys thinking they're IT come up against the master . The king of cool !

Atte. Sr. Garcia
And right there in the background, laying the solid framework that everyone can work around, but no-one can work without...the great Charlie Watts.
He was 72 years of age!! God bless him!
Cockney Rebells
When you see the likes of Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones as the back up, you know shit got real.
1200% agreed.The respect shown by slow hand and the stones for mr hooker
Amen !!!!1
These guys were taught by Hooker and he never knew it at first. One of their idols
Amen to that
what , no bieber
JOHN LEE HOOKER the king 🤴 of the blues in my opinion, long may his music 🎶 live forever 🇬🇧🇬🇧 😎👍😎 dec twenty two
There won’t be another rhythm section as the Stones’. Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts here are simply superb
This man was a Master. Rest In Peace John Lee Hooker🕊️
Yes much love💗💗💗💗
@@annecotta1719 🥰❤️
Hooker, possibly the coolest guy in history.
Nah SRV is
Ya.. freakin awesome bluesman..
Don’t forget Lightnin' Hopkins
@@jubayerhsiddiqui8516 l know. .. just too many great cool bluesman from back in the day .. they're all cool..
Certainly Top 5
Without a doubt THE SHARPEST DRESSED MAN to take the stage. You know shit just got real when Clapton and The Stones are your backing band.
Uhh close tie with charlie
John Lee Hooker...the coolest pig under the sun...ever and ever...
Kids today dont know real music lol
Is that so?
@Bullitt2005 yes that is so!!!
@@gw6496 then why am i here?!?!?!
So? Your mom does. So , what does that even mean?
Abe Union pride stage of legends what a thrill
I met John Lee Hooker a long time ago sitting by himself in a park in Georgetown, Washington D.C. He was my favorite bluesman.
How'd the conversation go that day?
Omg you got to tell us what you two talked about.
Wow 🤩
Thank you so much! ✨❤️✨ from Seattle 2022!
Nice to see some of the greatest musicians in the world playing back up for one of their founding fathers when they were younger and starting out.
You know what you're talking about...for sure!!

@@LuvThatDirtyWater neither had john lee or muddy waters. Best you read up on blues and rock. John lee has recordings in the 50s and earlier.
Formidable

Miss u very much
Time for a trip to La Grange
How can someone not love John Lee Hooker simply the legend, the definition of coolness….
Mis respetos para Jhon lee un gran músico IMPRESIONANTE !!
John Lee Hooker was a soul of Blues.
He´s gone but never Forget.
He is immortal, his legacy is huge only comparable to Muddy Waters.
All 3 legends
Don't get any better than this 👍👍👍
No, it doesn't.
Ahhh yeah….what a feeling ! gives me the hippie hippie SHAKES…..❤ thank u
To have 2 of the greatest guitarists like Eric Clapton and Keith Richards as back-up makes John Lee Hooker a legend.
Actually you have to already be a legend to have them as back ups.
@@billbeliakoff5589 exactly what I said. Overstating the obvious which was said already.
Don’t forget Ronnie and Charlie
A legend in his own right long before he played with the two undoubtedly legends
No. He was a legend way before then.
John Lee Hooker, one of the Godfathers of modern blues. Always a "sharp dressed man".
Now that is classic all the best guitarists on stage doing that 60's original classic sound wow love it
A brilliant set🎁
The master is playing, and the kids are trying to keep up
This was AC on Steel Wheels. I was at one the 3 shows. JLH was fine this night, but when I was there he was drunk as a skunk. Keith and Ronnie had to get him off the stage. Pretty funny.
Yeah they are
Oh yes brilliant.
Somehow I don’t think Clapton was having trouble keeping up
yep
That 's good for the soul
John Lee Hooker the Grandfather of the Blues, no doubt at all.
Anytime you want, man! 3:13
Wish they made music like this again!
Kendall Miller - They do it in abundance!
happy fathers day!!

We have Steven Seagall who is an terrific bluesplayer and guitarrcollector, dont u sleep on Steve
king off the boogie.
John Lee Hooker one of the original electric blues greatest.
Good God that man is the epitome of the blues.. he literally is the blues walking
Perfectly fitting and natural for John Lee Hooker to take over the Rolling Stones for a few songs when he's in town.
The Hook was the greatest Bluesman of all time. I love all his Blues, gives credence to: "The blues had a baby and they named it Rock 'n Roll. Love Muddy too.

Reminder when I would get in my uncle van and wake up somewhere I never been Salute showed us the country
The King of The Boogie. No if's, no buts.
Absolutely!

Theres a old red head who matched licks wi Hooker a few years back. Watching the session videos you can sense the respect he was showing Raitt

First Rock song ever written in the history of music.
Das nenne ich Musik!
