Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at Montreux, 1974

[@shyrolhightower6337]

My dad was a country man who loved the blues. Thanks for leaving me with this gift dad. Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, James Cotton, B B King, and so many more. The blues speaks to me via my heritage.

[@tommybarnes3511]

AMEN SISTA!!

[@neusbarrera6401]

I’m from Barcelona, so blues is not part of my heritage, but I just love Blues, as well as Soul and Jazz! I’ll never forget all the wonderful artists I had the privilege to attend to their concerts, Nina Simone, BBKing, Duke Ellington, Chick Corea, etc!

[@AndrewVOdom]

Two absolute blues legends ! RIP , Junior and Buddy keep on rockin’ in 2022!

[@MGDCrown559]

Some blind clicker hit the thumbs down? Stone cold deaf? How could anyone not love this? My goodness what do they have to do to please? This is heart and soul of the blues!!! Loving every tone here!

Hey partner I've been listening and playing to blues 4 almost 55 years and some people just don't get it there lost once I was engaged to a gal she sang opera took me to every performance she even took me to Italy now I appreciate all music but that I never could figure out if was singer's acting or actor's singing my point some just don't get it there lost but we must not judge P/S she loved the blues

Let only music rule the world fans & let it sound just this good, turn back in Montreux & let it happen again, who is willing to sing along?🎉❤🎉

[@Cherr1]

This is truly amazing stuff. It should be required listening for any musician and any music lover. The range of feelings, the extraordinary dynamics, the total control, the intensity of the entire performance is just remarkable. I first saw Buddy Guy in 1967 and was astounded then. I remember that he had an outrageously long guitar cord--long enough to let him leave the stage, go up the aisle, and outside into the lobby while he was playing an absolutely blistering solo. My young mind was transformed that day. And he's even better today than he was then. Truly a player for the ages.

[@smokewagon6]

Yes

[@ravietiel6085]

The way he controls the guitar is just amazing. One of the best ever.

[@TheophilusBoone]

I saw Buddy at City Stages in Birmingham, Alabama. Saw Junior another time. Must have been 80s. Buddy left the stage and climbed up a fire escape at the rear of the crowd without missing a beat. Crowd loved that.

[@kimcook5800]

😂Buddy Guyis the perfect foil for Junior Wells....Superb !!! The kid playing slide doing a great job !!

[@joseangelhernaiz-cotrina3461]

This is truly magnificent. One can see two extremely talented musicians giving it all in a historic performance. The quality of the music is just out this world. In my opinion Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at their best. One of the best slow Blues videoclips in KZbin.

[@spyderlogan4992]

I saw this pair open for the Rolling Stones a few years earlier than this performance. October 5th, 1970 to be exact. They completely, utterly and totally stole the show. Real hard core Chicago electric blues played loud as hell. Remember it to this day...

[@johnconway9882]

Speaking of the Rolling Stones, that's Bill Wyman on bass. You can see him best at 5:43 and 8:52

[@wadeolder7193]

Lord have mercy. I don't think there is a guitar player today that can play with this soul.

[@PhillipHarbison]

I saw Buddy Guy at Chastain in Atlanta in the late 1990s. During the show he did a medley where he would play in the style of various guitarists. He sounded just like them.

[@buddyboy6071]

I saw him a few years ago and he certainly doesn't play with the same soul anymore. He is like a cheesy comedy show. Such a pity as he was always my favourite.

[@user-ov8qv3hp9d]

@@buddyboy6071 he got old, the flesh

[@gulutaalan8845]

Hey... c'mon, his 86 and still playing well, course he has no force anymore. In his 70's he still was a tempest, I wish many people had half of his energy.

I've been fortunate to see many blues legends live in concert, including Buddy Guy, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Koko Taylor, Etta James, and Otis Rush. I regret missing Junior Wells though.

[@LisaGrisham]

Awesome blue's. I would really like to see "The Blues," have a strong come back in 2024, and going forward. I miss the long ago bluesmen, from back in the day. There was such a strong appreciation of the art back then. The "blue's bug" had me, by the time I was 8 yrs old. I was just a kid, loving and somehow already appreciating the deep down feelings that those songs would cause my heart to feel. It was the 1960's and I would listen to my radio, on an AM station in Dallas Texas. I would be playing with my Barbies, and listening to that music in my room at the same time. I just loved that soul moving music. There was nothing like it! My parents even took me to New Orleans one summer, so I could watch it be played in person. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world! It was so cool. 🙏❤️😎

[@darcyproulx3518]

Get the album Junior Wells "Live from Pepper's Lounge" on the south .side of Chicago. Buddy Guys on it too. Real Goood!

I saw Buddy many times at Chicago's Checkerboard Lounge '78 - '81. Junior often was a "surprise" guest. I never did get to Junior's hideout at Theresa's. Great times. One winter night the audience was sparse, and Buddy sang Tobacco Road... Junior scared me sorta -- so good, and a very intense performer.

Eric dont come close. The late Mike Bloomfield at times perhaps

[@msaintpc]

Buddy's really good, but his old Chess recordings and the guitar playing he did on them back then are a million times more superior than anything he's done in these last 40 years. He just sounds commercial now.

[@johnstewart7025]

@@msaintpc I wonder how much of what you are saying is because people like Clapton made Guy's playing familiar. Then Guy felt he had to give the people what they want.

I never really understood what the Blues really meant until I heard BB King say it is all about timing. He was right on because anyone can play the notes but until you can time them and put your heart and soul into it you are only playing just another song.
