More to come. More Sumlin. and More Pixies. More queens of the stone age. more other stuff maybe. I donno. Maybe.

[@ChateauShack]

Hubert Sumlin; one of the sweetest musicians I have ever met in my blues travels. *sigh* Another great artist lost.

[@huskvarsm]

hubert one of the last living blues great he is a national treasure long may his music be heard.

[@bobaldo2339]

The Howlin' Wolf singles had the best repeating riffs there ever were in the blues. And Hubert was responsible for many (most?) of them.

[@sammack1564]

Almost all. He left Da Wolf for a short period in the 50's to play with Muddy but he played on all key 60's recordings.

[@Cockroach216]

3 day ago, i dreamed about Hubert Sumlin, but i didnt know why. Till now, i know he has lost. Thank you, Hubert. RIP

[@bluesfoo]

thank you hubert - we miss you already ...

[@user-er3bt9mr3l]

The greatest veteran of Blues!!!Like him very much

[@michaelheaton562]

Utterly respectful contribution by Poppa Chubby

[@deweypug]

WOW! Hubert jamming hard! AND DJ can really killin' it!!

[@sessionsinthedesert]

yeah dude he was a beast until the end. reminds me, I should upload the other videos I have a lot more of his vids on a hard drive somewhere.

[@andrewlane8977]

That's a really nice little video. Thanks so much for uploading it. A very respectable bit of vocals and a band really enjoying their craft. So am I right that Hubert was 78 when this was recorded - that's how he should be remembered, playing beautifully and enjoying his Blues!

[@pit2ryan3]

This is actually David Johansen singing, but Mick Jagger really has a brother involved in music, his name is Chris Jagger, check it on youtube ...

[@electronictrip]

they havin FUN! Chicago Blues Baby!

[@ssurfcity]

Great to hear Mr Hubert one more time.

[@coreysmith2196]

This is so weird to me,I have been living directly across the street from Hubert's house for 9 years & I knew he played in a band,but I did not know that he was a legend. He was never home,I knew that much. When he died we did not know. His house sold for $500 or something like that,I did not get a chance to enter his home until yesterday and saw all those awards he got and magazines he was in. I wish I had of had more time to talk to him. I thought he recently died,didn't know it's been 2 years

[@wjb8855]

Hubert - From one dirty player to another (sweet, easy and loose is how you do it). Thank you. God Speed... R.I.P.

[@deltadelebrio457]

thanks for posting this !

[@msaintpc]

Really good singer too!

[@IvanaDanza1]

♫ ♩ ♫ Geniussss of Music !!!

[@robertoferrabone9867]

The Amazing Johansen

[@JoeyLevenson]

Thats David Johansen from the NY DOLLS?!?! No way!

[@elragman]

Nobody played like him. Just staggering.

[@timrichter2197]

Wow, That is David J from the NYD on vocal? Wouldn't have seen it if someone had not mentioned it below. Sounds a bit (wee bit) like the Wolf. Mostly because of the growl. Hubert contributed more to the sound of the 60s and 70s scene than we will ever know. Hear a rumor that Clapton didn't like his Killing Floor cause it was too difficult to nail....

[@TheToocold]

i'm in heaven!

[@2curly2Bamod]

Tonight Mathew I'm going to be Howling Wolf. Hubert Sumlin though was the real deal! May he rest in peace.

[@terryhillen715]

and the vocals and rhythm, ooh we!

[@MrCaribbean]

Nice!!!, H.S. still got it! :) He is one of the masters :)

[@marcus2515]

Nice! Here we have three diverse musicians getting it together. Hubert, with direct connection, to the deep old Delta style. David Johanssen singer for the New York Dolls Papa Chubby, Queens, NYC native an once a young, anything blues protoge' around the downtown NYC small club scene.

[@msaintpc]

Man, that white boy be playin' the shit outta that Nighthawk!

[@sessionsinthedesert]

because that's him.

[@rockymnthodad3047]

No artist ever to outshine Hubert's stage presence nor style.

[@baliscotsurf]

David is the real deal..a true artist..even sounds like the wolf

[@nstudentsqr2656]

electric + Bass .... heaven

[@straight2helll]

I was like man that chick looks rough,then He started singing and I instantly realized it was David Johansen from the New York Dolls AKA Buster Poindexter.

[@stevefaure415]

Hubert was a firecracker

[@wandasanders4193]

Awesome

[@sessionsinthedesert]

@TheToocold i have like 20 more vids with hubert sumlin from two other concerts. i'll upload soonish probly.

[@marceloalvarez9974]

wolf have the 2 of the most important rhythmn guitar players of blues, Hubert and Willie Johnson

[@manucabrera3730]

what a privilage

[@tomd2833]

Where'd they find an old lady that can sing like Wolf?

[@sessionsinthedesert]

@rukusbob Huge loss to blues and music. Will be uploading all those other videos I recorded of him from two shows this week.

[@krisscanlon4051]

Hubert and David Jo were quite a pair

[@shoutingthomas]

@Tubemanjac You know, that really looks like David Johannsen from the NY Dolls.

[@jdbluesman7305]

It is

[@user-je3lb3yf5s]

As much as I LOVE David Johansen, no one can hold a torch to the vocals of Howlin Wolf. David's certainly a lot better than most, but the Wolf man's voice was second to none. Kind of the Aretha Franklin of male vocalists as far as I'm concerned. Untouchable.

[@eallanboggs]

Wolf does Killin Floor AND Highway 49 They sound very similar especially if you listen to them back to back

[@pit2ryan3]

Of course ... But Chris is happier now ...

[@grenda5]

hubert is so cool! and, does that singer look like Jagger to you also?

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

Hehe we rockin an we rollin : -D ; -D

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

Danelectro plastic, never thought I'd see them around ,: 0

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

Got to get one of those ,: 0

[@Tubemanjac]

I didn't know Mick Jaggers' brother is a singer in a band too.

[@musheopeaus4125]

Stephen king on vocals

[@terryhillen715]

that's a bad man. Hubert Sumlin is bad, so bad..

[@DucksDeLucks]

Back in the day the black legends often had young white guys accompanying them. Now they have old white guys.

[@swit4850]

man, is it really nec to toss race into this ? and steve cropper, and even steve winwood who back in the day were two very young white guys-are still relatively young compared to for instance Johanson(sp)

[@JesterxMailman81]

@ethanflakeiscool yep check out the lemon song...

[@BrianKlobyGuitar]

:)

[@ethanflakeiscool]

sooo zeppelin covered this guy right? i dig this version for sure too

[@nickefgen9219]

Is this at Antone’s?

[@sessionsinthedesert]

BB king at nyc. it's not there anymore.

[@Research0digo]

what is that at the mic? go away!!!

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Are you deaf people comparing the guys vocal to Wolf is a travesty and silly to boot granted after the first verse he at least stays in key that is. bout it ,no power at all.

[@ThomasDeLello]

That singer thinks he's still a teenager...!

[@svkartisbest]

guy on mouth harp is awful cant play. get em off!

[@drumsleuth]

I first thought the singer was a woman ? I was wrong he is just a poser.

[@brineb58]

He's the legendary David Johansen!!!

[@swit4850]

grow the hell up. "poser"??? old saying about finger pointing: -this is not verbatim but shore i close "when you have two fingers pointed at someone else, there are three back at you."...or are you simply JEALOUS coz he can sing with the big dogs and maybe you cant...

[@huskvarsm]

omg the singer is awful he needs to dress his age he looks really silly you can see he spends more time on his thinning hair and clothes than he does glueing in his false teeth :)

[@CarefulObserver]

+huskvarsm He sounds a lot like Howlin' Wolf. And that singer is a legend: David Johansen of the NY Dolls, also known as Buster Poindexter of "Hot Hot Hot" fame. He doesn't look any worse than Jagger.

[@randychester2286]

+CarefulObserver Yeah, he sounds more like Wolf than anyone I've ever heard!

[@DucksDeLucks]

+Randy Chester I was thinking the same thing! I was looking around for Wolf and since he obviously wasn't on the stage I was wondering if this was "reverse karaoke"! But he does look kind of Tony Perkins' mother in Psycho.

[@deweypug]

Why have they gotten rid of the negative thumbs down feature?

[@LeshaAnn]

He was the singer for The New York Dolls, for Chrissakes! That's enough cool points to counteract ANYTHING. Ever.

[@anthonymorelli1532]

I GOT TO SEE HUBERT SUMLIN ONCE, DON'T CARE HOW OLD HE WAS, HIS FINGERS WERE 18 AND CRANKING

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Are you deaf people comparing the guys vocal to Wolf is a travesty and silly to boot granted after the first verse he at least stays in key that is. bout it ,no power at all.

[@swit4850]

you got that right
