DieselDaisy Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 How can you not include this man............not the "best version" as the poster claims as he was out of sorts and in a shitty mood during these shows at Konserthuset but not much video of him playing this song around one less well known blues songs of Jimi'shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi_rJwHoCBIMy favourite version of ''Red House'' is from Randall's Island, New York, 1970. I cannot seem to find it on youtube but It is the version which graces Concerts. Berkeley's ''Hear My Train A Comin''' is considered the definitive version by many; it is included on various collections but try and obtain the whole show on bootleg. I also like the Band of Gypsys version which is on Live at the Fillmore east. There is also that wonderful 12-string solo rendition from that early BBC documentary.

Yeah In only picked those two versions as there was video available for them but they are not the best versins by a long shot.The Berkeley HMTA is fantastic and there are two 3 CD silver bootlegs of both of the Berkeley shows which includes the soundcheck. http://www.giginjapan.com/scan4/jh-protest.htmand this one which I own and is a nice mix of SB and Audience sourceshttp://www.giginjapan.com/scan4/jh-berkeley.htmFound this one on ebay but not sure if it is silver dischttp://www.ebay.com/itm/JIMI-HENDRIX-The-complete-Berkeley-1970-3cd-Box-set-Ltd-edition-1000-pressed/121812277073?_trksid=p5713.c100041.m2061&_trkparms=aid%3D333008%26algo%3DRIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140109102600%26meid%3D466d73692257483fa085e725df15b474%26pid%3D100041%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D21%26sd%3D111834133760There is the official release of the second show but sadly no Red House.

DieselDaisy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Yes, 'Red House' was only played during the first set at Berkelely, the set when he is dressed in black. The official release is the second set, when he is dressed in this light blue jump suit number - who knows if and when they decide to release it? ''Hear My Train'' incidentally is also on the film Jimi Plays Berkeley; the modern DVD managed to restore footage so it is almost complete.

Georgy Zhukov Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 T-Bone Walker is credited to be the man that brought the electric guitar to the blues. I think jazz guitarist Charlie Christen also was a big influence. Have to include Call It Story Monday, his best known song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ya Robert Johnson is a MUST for anyone into the blues. Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, and if course MR. King. Good thread boys. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 This thread is lacking Muddy Waters. His loud electric sound sanctioned a lot of acts that came out of Britain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Going back a little further than Johnson, we have the man that influenced. Charley Patton. So little is known about Charley Patton that we don't even have a date of birth or whether or not he was a black man. Mixed or possibly a full blooded Cherokee. Either way, eye witnesses says he would play the guitar behind his head or back. Sound familiar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Might be country, but I promise you Hank Sr is a blues man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Goddamn I love that jam Clapton and Allman did. Too bad they didn't get the whole jam. They turned it on right in the middle of it. Edited December 1, 2015 by Georgy Zhukov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 As much as I love the electric blues, there's something special about the acoustic stuff. Blues in its purist form. Hank Williams Sr was a bluesman in his own right. As was Johnny Cash. And here's Hank 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 So who's everyone's favorite blues guitarists? I will try to keep my list shortStevie Ray VaughanEric ClaptonAlbert KingFreddie KingB.B. KingJimi HendrixRobert JohnsonJeff BeckJimmy Page Duane AllmanBuddy Guy T-Bone WalkerMike BloomfieldJohn Lee HookerMick TaylorKeith RichardsStevie Ray Vaughan is probably my currently favorite of the bunch. He pretty much takes the influence of all the greats especially Guy, Clapton, Beck, Hendrix, the Three Kings and Robert Johnson. He even made a fine jazz musician. I saw his brother Jimmie open up for Bob Dylan back in '06. Excellent blues player but I remember my dad saying "He's nothing like his brother." but Jimmie was the reason why Stevie played guitar and even though his skills surpassed Jimmie's he always looked up to him. I guess you can say the same about the past blues guitarists. The newer ones got more skilled but they just can't beat what the old players did. B.B. King keeps his solos short and sweet but they are memorable and full of feeling. He is a great singer so that helps. When he doesn't sing his guitar sings. Taylor is also a great jazz guitarist. I heard he was more of a jazz man than a blues man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
