Lightning was the Master Blues guitar of Empty space. His timing was surreal. He was actually extremely fast with his licks up and down the neck but he filled his Solo songs with incredible stops and vacancy that helped to accentuate his soulful vocals!!! He was a Master Bluesman 🇺🇸

It's amazing how this music, after it died out with the old barrel houses and sleazy dives, moved to the crowded formal concert halls, people sitting attentively in row upon row, listening to these old blues veterans. I still think this music is best when performed in smaller venues, with one man and a guitar. This is uniquely an American form of folk music born of musty smoke, cheap booze and broken lives. It was never meant to be so respectable.

Maybe respected, versus respectable? Where the line of art and moral/ethic/sociologic (etc.) hierarchy intersect. Maybe because future artists could take these foundations and run in different directions, as they have in the years since? Fascinating to think about - thanks for the spark :).

Smaller venues are definitely preferable however blues performers needed these larger halls to get broader exposure and put food on the table. They had the scars of some very lean years combined with segregation to overcome. I saw BB King in the Montreal Forum which was WAY too big and certainly not ideal but realized it was probably a necessary evil for a decent pay check.

One of the truly great Blues voices. This is good quality sound, a lot of his recordings were not so great on the vocals. And when R&B came along, producers would speed up his tracks a bit and add backing tracks and sell the records as R&B records. So his voice is not as rich and thick as we hear in this video. Of course, concert stage, very high quality mic and sound system. His voice sounds better in this video than probably on any record I've heard.

@SI Thanks for the response. I played in the backing band for an old blues man from Mississippi via Chicago and the changes were all over the place. You’d get 11-bar blues and 13-bar blues and enough 12-bars to keep you wondering if it was you that had lost it. The band got very good at listening. I think when people play on their own they don’t have the strict requirement to follow changes properly, and they also don’t have other players to keep them honest - it’s difficult to miss when you hear the bass player walking up to the IV chord, or the drummer playing a fill on the turnaround. Even Eric Clapton dropped the beat on one video where he’s playing acoustic on his own and singing - he played a bar with 5 beats and hit the IV chord a beat late.

Agreed. Truly one of the all time greats. Hopkins was the undisputed master of the “country style” of blues; raw yet refined, a master guitarist, an impeccable singer, a genius for presentation and prolific songwriter. The roots of his music harken back to the traditional music of west Africa, yet his individual influence is still palpable, as new generations rediscover his powerful music.

I believe this was filmed during the American Folk Blues Festival Series in Europe. American Folk Blues Festival was a music festival that toured Europe as an annual event for several years beginning in 1962. It introduced audiences in Europe, including the UK, to leading blues performers of the day such as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker and Sonny Boy Williamson, most of whom had never previously performed outside the US. The tours attracted substantial media coverage, including TV shows, and contributed to the growth of the audience for blues music in Europe. (From Wikipedia)

'86 I think it was when I first heard this guy. My first proper album too, Autobiography in blues. I learned how to play every song on that album and 30+ years later I still love him. He, for me, is the King of texas/country blues... the voiceings on the guitar and his vocals... just the best

@@derekgoins6547 I've been sitting here for five minutes trying to come up with my top 3 bluesmen lol But I think that's just impossible, there's too many great ones. Today I'll go with Lightnin, Buddy Guy, and Rory Gallagher. I personally prefer electric blues but Lightnins style of finger picking is undeniable.

Had a lot of time to play practice listen watch Etc during the pandemic the last 7 months. I've grown physically and mentally because I've used the time wisely and efficiently. I've had fun studying Blues swing rockabilly particularly loving Stevie Ray Vaughan for many years and have perfected that as much as one could honestly not being Stevie Ray of course. But his influences are so strong from many but particularly Lightnin Hopkins and to watch this it all makes sense now why certain people play the way that they do. It's so simple but so impossible to do right unless it's in your soul like this man. God bless you lightning love you. Mind blowing performance! :-)

This vid is almost beyond belief. Here is Lightnin’ in his early forties looking almost juvenile and wearing what looks like a full tux, bitchin’ shades, one hell of a fine process, audience of white stiffs suckin’ it all up - 1964 ... wow and double wow! How good can it get? Lightnin’ was an absolute master of the blues and a natural genius of the human scene. His “Santa” is my all time favorite Christmas song - so ripe with un-Christmasy irony. Lightnin’s guitar work here is amazing, but what makes this vid special for me are the unintended and totally over the top overtones of race and class. Really, really special in the finest sense of the word.
