Such an underrated band, it’s a shame because they are amazing. Thank you, BHT

[@user-cs2cc7pc1m]

This man is amazingly talented he’s so noticeably gifted

[@chrisfezzler2878]

Great loyal tribute cover. Well done sir.

[@davidfarris894]

Full on killer version of a badass song to begin with.

[@kokomal2686]

Wow.. I'm late to this party.. Great version of this song. Strong work!

[@tshot52]

I'd sure like to know how this bunch of super musicians ever got together, but I'm sure they were sent by the rock gods so never mind......

[@leannaburroughs]

High school

[@SandraWright-xn7yf]

Seeing Big Head Todd and the Monster’s at Red Rock is on my bucket list

[@Ohioblues]

One hell of a version of this song! S A L U T E !

[@soilacantu8675]

Brilliant performance, sweet sound of the sax🎷❤🎸❤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@AminEL7]

Go head Todd, a real monster jam ! I can see Albert smiling :-)

[@JerseyMiller]

These guys are a class act. I love Albert King and they really did him justice with this. 🐲

[@coffeewaldo]

Todd rocks on guitar so underrated. Real musicians.

[@SPARKY4944]

Yup, they need more love.They can all play.

[@howardkoor2796]

coffeewaldo yes. Very underrated

[@gerfmon1]

KBCO in Boulder use to play a lot of Big Head Todd since they were a local band.

[@ShanOakley]

One of the best bands ever. Dig yo' self some Big Head Todd and the Monsters.

[@valeriewhite9624]

OH MY GOD I HAVE TO AGREE.

[@williamhoeweler2343]

Oh definitely digging it

[@sjlefebvre]

Nice tip O the hat to Albert King's unique style of playing...not an easy task for anyone who has ever tried (and failed) to duplicate it. Much respect Mr. Mohr!

[@jasstack]

The drummer is great.

[@BarbaraPietersehappysnapper]

A newish discovery for me but straight to the top list. Magnifique. One of the best renditions of "I'll play the blues for you" I have ever heard.

[@Nononsensetypeofguy]

That tone on that guitar is actually unreal.

[@irenebrundige1nb936]

Love these guys

[@gregz3775]

Been listening to these guys for over 25 years and it still jams ike a mofro

[@danielgabalski2312]

Wow this is good stuff. Damn.

[@gregdedmanrocking4life549]

A very worthy song handled by a very capable band. This is pure medicine for my heart. Thank you.

[@sandralink3704]

So smooth

[@PhilippeEtchebestChef]

Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here.

[@sandralink3704]

@@PhilippeEtchebestChef I'm great! Love you and the band.

[@PhilippeEtchebestChef]

@@sandralink3704 that’s nice to hear. And i know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?

[@sandralink3704]

@@PhilippeEtchebestChef surprised is fun.

[@PhilippeEtchebestChef]

@@sandralink3704 that’s nice. Well I was actually going through The comments section so i can have a little time for my fans and know how some of you feel about me and the band precisely.

[@stevedockeray8958]

all u people lovin this Go buy it u can still watch it here -- the guys & Gals who put in their dues , need to keep playing the blues & and not be feelin the blues from a lack of cash after payin their dues ......... saw these guys open for robert plant up in Vancouver BC Canada in 1993 - at the Orphium --- went out & bought sister sweetly 2 days later

[@Mainrollman]

This is an absolutley A-M-A-Z-I-N-G cover of Albert King's classic. I'm sure Big Al was looking down and smiling when BHTM played this. These guys are awesome, and people.....Todd Park Mohr can flat play his ass off.

[@ronniesmith3521]

The late Jerry Beach wrote this song

[@pengse123]

Faith in humanity restored

[@renevanderlinde6221]

just can say DITTO to all the comments below, you play a wicked guitar, also for the rest of the band, great bass, ivory's, and i like the laid back manner of the drummer, not to mention the brass section, ROCK ON BIG HEAD TODD AND THE MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darkdelta]

A whole lotta talent on that stage! And the proved it!

[@randykenezone447]

Robert Cray, Elvis Costello, John Mayer and a little Steven Page. Of course his heads big! Lol... This Boy Rocks. He's the Real Deal. 👍👍

[@deadbugdoug4158]

Now you shred a pretty good axe son, but let me tell ya what......you need my pal polkadot Buddy backing you up so you can show the fine desert folks the 12-bar, Chicago style

[@deadbugdoug4158]

And mad props to your horns...too

[@ungowa1002]

this guy is amazing

[@mahulen100]

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! I've watched/listened to the entire show many, many, many times - I think I enjoy it more every time!!! Looking forward to seeing you guys in St.Louis in 19 days...

[@paulbailey1341]

Came across these guys only recently. Great performance!

[@marc5117]

I LOVE THIS BAND - DEDICATED FAN FOR OVER 20 Years!

[@jeffreyhowell2211]

Amazing group to watch live

[@patrickkane3838]

yep

[@williamhoeweler2343]

As much as i hate to admit it ive missed out on some good ass music ,i am very impressed with this live performance

[@paullum2168]

Todd and his band are flat out great! Very under rated. They are missing a “signature” song that would put them in the class with many other bands

[@JerseyMiller]

Listen to Bitter Sweet

[@christineobrien263]

Sister Sweetly, Broken Hearted Savior, Bittersweet, It's Alright.... It's their live shows that really shine, studio recordings aren't as good in my opinion.

[@carrieanorman]

SO PROFESSIONAL !! SMOOTH, YET CASUAL COOL..... AT THE SAME TIME I DIG IT MAN

[@firepwr21]

+Carina Ann So Smoooooth.....Dig it baby, like wow.....I bought this CD & DVD combo when I saw them at "The Stone Pony".......one day I'll get to Red Rocks, to see a show.....

[@Pressurewashoutlet]

This is absolutely one of my favorites....and add in those horns....oh my!
