Big Bill Broonzy Hey Hey - Live 1956

[@Joe-nz5if]

A laid back smoke filled bar, low lights, your girl by your side and Bill on stage ten feet away. I wish i could have been there, the 50's blues and jazz scene seemed so dark, lonely and strangely comforting.

[@johngore7744]

For a blues fan like me this is gold. Thanks.

[@BobTaile]

All this from his old guitar snd a ropey amp through a ropey mic and it still sounds better than any modern day guitar player. Bill had talent that was supreme- and in abundance.

[@mikekaatman3194]

Beats any modern videoclip...ever...

[@joriskemper5392]

Not only a great guitar player and voice but he must've been quite the scoundrel in his youth with his songs about night time gambling, drinking and hooking up... all without a single dime in his pocket.. What a man.

[@prathameshbhambure]

Clapton mentioned this performance in his autobiography. What a masterpiece this is.

[@jimdavis8391]

Bill's recording of 'Backwater blues' remains one of my favourites, chilling vocals make the hairs on my neck stand on end.

[@mancebo7]

Brilliant. Raw, beautiful. So much talent...

[@diment0857]

Nothing can top this

[@waterfrontworker2565]

1956! he'd been doing the shit for 30 years! And Big Joe Turner was on his way to becoming a rock and roll star!

[@joefzd4040]

Big Bill is the best! I've been listening to him since the late 1960's and his playing still makes the hairs on my kneck stand up!! He was the master of that country blues picking.

[@JerkGoat1]

Very cool. With the lady and abstract shots, this is surely an early example of a music video

[@peterdavis1638]

How Cool Is This!

So so totally great. Dude sounds like three guitars. Tremendous video, editing, love the ending....we didn't know there was a bunch of hipsters in the club.

[@blallathin]

+tennisbumojai I think they were called beatnicks back then. haha

Cool. Clapton mentions watching this growing up in his autobiography. Amazing we can watch this. Thanks for the upload

If Clapton is good, this guy is GREAT! Love it

Rock steady base which is missing from so many imitations today. Get out the metronome boys!

[@przybyla420]

Did Broonzy have one? It’s not the metronome it’s lack of practice

[@bewareofchild2462]

What a great film. Thank you, I have loved Big Bill since I was very young and never saw this excellent film. Bravo!

There are videos of the same song that show the guitar work,not candles and faces. Who needs this one?

[@robertwalsh782]

I do. Thanks for your contribution.

[@christaylor2070]

fabulous - we get a real good close up of his pickin hand, be nice to see what his fretting hand is doing but i guess you cant have everything. A blues guitar master.

[@przybyla420]

Slides, hammer ons and pull offs. Nothing fancy, it is 98% the right hand.

[@stephent9677]

Pure magic.

[@E.R.U.42]

So this is the song Clapton talks about in his book. Nice!

[@perrysar5954]

Looks like the cavern club in Liverpool ,yet this is1956,way before the Beatles at the cavern in 1962...Rock and roll is the baby of the blues!

[@ybor20]

the music is great, it's just a shame that the director doesn't like music, but likes to present himself as an artistically responsible filmmaker,

[@yru435]

I heard him do vocals on this: ...hey, why you throwin' your clothes out da window? Cuz if you knew what I had up in this room, and how much I paid for it, you'd know that those clothes will be way outa style when I come back down...

[@richarddewitt2072]

You can smell the cigarette smoke, the sweat and the booze.

[@rnrpeg1]

Okay so I'm not a musician. But do have great taste, somehow. 🤣. Have always LOVED BILL'S playing. But who can tell me WHY none of his music sounds the least bit dated to me? I've often been perplexed by that. 🪄

[@DamenJoost]

He had a really unique style when it comes to songs like the above. Like, it fills a room, no other instruments required. It does what rock 'n roll did later (and it does it better in my opinion.)

[@rnrpeg1]

[@marcbrandes9682]

Because its classic.

[@alansouzacruz970]

Muito bom

[@meistercoproductions5733]

Maybe an audio clean-up is in order, that sound is ropey and lets the masterful playing down heavily, and this is coming from someone who listens to early Jamaican ska a lot....

[@Tim.Pierce]

+amatelk956 Bob was born in '41 he was 15 in '56 Bob's career started 3 years later at age of 18 in '59... so he couldn't have been on this show that early..

[@benjamindsouza2782]

They should have had the right person who knows how to do it, not an amateur, unless ofcourse this person was instructed to stay away from the right hand. These glimpses have to be captured at the opportune moment, because once it's gone...it's gone forever! What a waste!..
