Canned Heat - Shake and Boogie

Welcome to the midnight hour.

[@DxMarillion]

RIP Bob Hite Dont forget to boogie!!! ❤

[@DukesMusic84]

RIP Alan Wilson, forgotten member of the 27 Club. And the Bear, hugely underrated singer.

[@SJDunham]

Let’s not forget Henry “the sunflower” Vestine, one of the best electric guitar players. That band had some incredible talent.

[@astragreen]

Alan wasn’t in this lineup (who’s forgotten him)he had died, why mention him regarding this clip? No offence but if you watch a stones clip in the 70s you don’t first of talk about brian jones!.

[@astragreen]

Bob hite wasn’t ’underrated’ (as you claim) by anyone except perhaps yourself!..

[@astragreen]

The two clowns in the 80s calling themselves ‘the blues brothers’ were indeed pathetic to the extent of embarrassing I seem to remember bob saying something to that effect!.

[@dagmarvecernikova6658]

He is not forgooten - he was the best.

[@francesgonzales8246]

Thanks, Fito De La Parra, for keeping the band alive. Best drummer in the world ! I read Fito's book Living the Blues best book ever!

[@mavjimbo]

He has signed several CD and DVD covers for me

[@michellevaughan4071]

Great but still miss "Blind Owl" My love Alan Wilson!

[@joaquimpais5558]

The Owl's singing on Goin' Up The Country marked me for ever since. Great guitar player, excelent second vocalist.

[@steve-r-collier]

i share your loss..so damn sad

[@TheYougottabekidding]

The Bear's younger brother, Richard Hite, on bass. Funny, Bob Hite played trumpet in my high school band.

I saw them in the early 70's with John Lee Hooker on the same bill. After both bands did their sets Hooker came out and played with Canned Heat. WHAT A SHOW!!! ✌

I love how The Bear just rocks out with everyone’s solo.

[@HardcorePartyMonster]

This is incredible, the raspy vocals, the beat, the guitar work, the drum solo at the end, that damn bass! Insanely underated performance in my opinion!

[@WoutervanTiel]

Absolutely top notch

[@maxi1049]

Love me some Bear!! man, our music in the 60's was the bomb!!!

Maxi 1049 , ouu yes it was !!!!

Bob Hite looks like he's lost alot of weight in this one. They are still one of my favourite 1960s bands and don't get enough credit.

[@donaldrichards3268]

Going up the country was the theme song for Woodstock

[@ponzu4u]

ladies and gentleman, that is how you play the bass.

[@ghostrider729]

That is a DRUMMER. PERIOD.

[@foursail100]

Henry "The Sunflower" Vestine, you can really rock!!

[@jdcrow6]

I sure which I could have seen these guys live with the full original line up! It's as pure and free as blues can be. One of the greatest bands of all time!

[@wblynch]

I’m lucky I got to see them in San Francisco. All the original guys back about 1969 or so.

[@hedge685]

Man these guys changed lineups so much, the bass player almost as good as Larry Taylor, the Bear playing guitar,they were damn good between 67- 70 when the Blind Owl died. I think only Fito made it all the way. Well don't forget the boogie!

I was wondering if that was Alan's guitar, it certainly sounds like it. I kept pausing the video to get a good look but I can't see it clearly enough to see if it's as beaten up as Alan's was. Also can't see the STP sticker in it's usual place. It's a sad story how that instrument ended up, I was heartbroken when I heard it.
