For some strange reason i’ve been listening to this song for the past couple of days..And as of today 6/5/23 I found out my mother has cancer.. This True Zydeco Legend/Pioneer Music Will Forever Live On!🙏🏾 #CancerSucks
Judging from the look on faces, they all knew Buckwheat was facing the beast of cancer. There is a quiet pall on the session, as if putting it away for safe-keeping. Thanks to all who helped infect us with the joy of zydeco and Buckwheat...RIP!!!
I play music and when it's really cooking everyone who is playing gets that smile going. This was beautiful to watch. We're all a little better off from knowing Buckwheat Zydeco.
@@joetaska Joseph for your comment. I too played tenor sax and drums in 7 swing bands until rare jaw cancer took that away. I. too know the joy that linking with other minds in playing music can produce. I was blessed to see Buckwheat twice, and not possible to stand still while he played. Bless him, Bless us..we are all on a slow trip that does not end well.
I had the privilege of opening for many great acts over the past 25 years. Delbert McClinton 3 times, Tommy Castro 3 times, Anson Funderberg a couple times. The list goes on. The VERY BEST show that I ever saw (in that capacity) was Buckwheat Zydeco. I would say one of the best shows I ever saw.
I got to open for him once, in the 1980's. We came off after our set and Mr. Dural handed me a beer. "You look like you could use a cold one." Made me feel great! Met Mr. Herman Brown that night too. Another beautiful humble man.
I play this in a two piece with Mike Apirion here in the St. Louis region, and sometimes 3 with drums, usually Marty Spikener. I had just played it the night before when I heard this version on the Underground Garage on Sirius the next day last Sunday. Wow! I see that they all look kinda grim, (except Buckwheat) but they all played wonderfully!
I'm a fellow accordionist from Calgary, and This song reminds me of a fantastic memory of actually getting to meet Mr. Dural in person on stage. He of course had no idea that I previously that day signed myself up for a very long running race (61.1 km - ~ 38 mi.) that started at 6 AM. Crossed that finish line a handful of minutes before 11:30 that morning. Then I went home and had a very short nap before getting myself set to head towards our local folk music festival, and he was not only doing the final closing set on the main stage that Sunday evening, but I found out was set to go straight to the after party (meant mostly for the fellow musicians and volunteers) on a stage at a nearby hotel hall for larger events. I actually took along my own box to the little island show grounds, and that meant I saw the shows mostly from one side, but close enough in that it worked well enough for me. Natalie MacMaster also did a set earlier that evening, as well as an African folk ensemble that was also very great to hear. Anyways, I brought my box because I wanted to be at the after party jams. I had attended in previous years, and was invited to be back by a few people who remembered me from before. So I did my usual thing where I did a little busking right after the show ended in *my* spot not too far away, and waited to see some festival volunteers drag their tired bodies in my general direction. Eventually I saw this couple who weren't looking like they were up to partying after at all, so I ended up becoming *that fellow* and had his lanyard badge to get in to the after party. (There is another story with them after too where I ended up playing music for a short film she was making later) Then the time had come to get my speed on, and rush to take in as much of Buckwheat's 2nd (shorter) set as possible. They actually charged 8$ to get in to that! I even had my box with me of course, but i guess that didn't count. ;) Anyways, I did get in and with my box in tow. I was actually bold enough to take it out and jam along in the audience for a bit. I got ushered to the stage, and that was when Buckwheat began to play THIS tune. So we did it together. The look on his face as he saw another accordion guy get on stage with him is one I will never forget. What a great guy. :) We had a nice little conversation afterwards. It was short, but it is still a fond memory. (that was his last tune for the evening, and he was TIRED. Still happy and enthusiastic, but he had a day already too.) I was still filled with endorphins so I hung out with the jammers who were still up for even more after that until the dawn of the next morning. What a day! Never to be forgotten. Never. :D
So beautiful. Heartwarming and so very beautiful. No words can describe him and his band members. Real people that make the world go around. Love to All listeners and friends ❤
YES! from the dude playing the telecaster with the army hat (hooah!) to the original CREOLE sound on one of my favorite songs!!!!! yes Lord! y'all gave me life today! yalll gone head now! Zut! et toi!
It's the Spring of 1990, Buckwheat is playing the ParkWest/Chgo. I Took my fine beautiful Lady on our 1st date to see him. He played ' On A Night Like This', and I planted my 1st kiss on her.Thanks Buckwheat, for sealing the bond to a wonderful marriage to that amazing woman to this day( going on 35 yrs together). - could 'nt have done it without you!.
This performance brings a SMILE to my face and PURE JOY to my heart !
Awesome Talent !!!!!
Buckwheat will forever live on .
Stanley Dural Jnr. ~ one of the greatest people I've ever known.. I LOVED THAT MAN.
Heard his version of this song at the Vogue in Indy in the early 90s. One of the best shows I've every been to.
For some strange reason i’ve been listening to this song for the past couple of days..And as of today 6/5/23
I found out my mother has cancer..

My mom before she passed in 2005 love Buckwheat and Rockin Sydney. We saw them in Cincinnati 96/97..
He makes me smile every time I hear his music.
Thank you Buckwheat for all the joy

I saw buckwheat at Antone's back in the 90's and yeah,one of the greatest shows I ever saw
Buckwheat was introduced to me by my Dad (RIP). Buckwheat's version is the most underrated soulful version of the Jagger/Richards version....
Totally agree! It's just a beautiful version of a beautiful tune!

Another great musical artist gone..but not forgotten...

One of the best l have ever heard rest in peace my brother 🙏.
@@lynnmiller5335 your comment just made me listen again. Greetings from far away
Having these sessions on video is legendary what an amazing archive..THANK YOU!!!!
YES! from the dude playing the telecaster with the army hat (hooah!) to the original CREOLE sound on one of my favorite songs!!!!! yes Lord! y'all gave me life today! yalll gone head now! Zut! et toi!
Telecaster? Hell yeah they rule.
Got to see him live, in New Iberia, La!
Loved him ever since. RIP Buckwheat.
Awesome version of *"Beast of Burden".*
Fantastic, RIP Buckwheat, your music lives on!
My Dad, had this in his Truck, he loved Zydeco. There are way more emotion in to those questions. Am I rough enough? Am I hard enough? To be.
Miss this Era....Thank you for the memories
Buckwheat could play music with any musician such a talent I miss him 5:27
TO BE LISTENED to on Saturday Night or special occasion only+! SO GOOD
Oh, I forgot and lost you. My shame but your genius is forever.🙏🏽✊🏾👍🏾👋🏽❤️👴🏽
Buckwheat will forever be in my life ! Fantastic
As someone who cut his musical teeth on accordion in the 1970s,it is so satisfying that Buckwheat made "lead accordion" fashionable
I heard The Stones do a cover of this but it was lacking the accordion.
I'm so sad he's gone, may the man R.I.P
His music lives on!
I didn't even know. So sad. May he rest in peace.
Wonderful!
We will always remember Buckwheat!
Awesome rendition of a classic! Love it. New favorite.💕
Luv You Buck wheat !
That's some good stuff! North Carolina in the house. Love it.
hey, this version is more colourful....love IT👍👍👍
God Bless Lil Buck!
The real King.... Souvenirs from France !
AWESOME !!!
Love it
Very cool 😎👌🎶💛
so sweet !
Of course Buck is a genius and all that, but I wanted to mention how good his guitarist is. I saw them live in Indy about a year before he died.
R.I.P. Stanley Dural Jr. (a.k.a. Buckwheat Zydeco)
Oh hell yes
Lovely, lovely "cover" and pretty much an improvement on most others.
RIP
🎶🎶💜
Rest In Peace

To hell with lung cancer, and thank you TH-cam.
