Michael Burks - House of the Rising Sun 18 Grolsch Bluesfestival Schöppingen

[@TicTacPaddyWack]

This specific version of this song, the way Micheal Burkes played at this exact point in time, totally destroys me and leaves me in tears and I don’t really know why.

[@lazer868]

Michael played "Miss Mercy" for my wife and at Uncle Bo's in Topeka, Ks a week before we were married. We were planning on going on a Blues Cruise he was headlining but he passed a few weeks before. A truly wonderful talent that I miss every time I pass by the signed Iron Man album poster in my hall. RIP, I look forward to the Blues Band in heaven.

[@racv0013]

Just discovered this gem lately. He's playing this song for a full ten minutes and I could listen to his guitar for another hour.

[@donaldstevens2888]

I've heard that song my whole life but that's the best version I've ever heard,that naughty organ player was encouraging michaels rowdy behaviour!

[@Bigtymer1]

I’m 35 and listened to blues as a kid, tried to play like BB. I never heard of this guy until about 2 months ago listening to Christone “kingfish” playing “empty promises”. Man I been missing out, all these years, he’s nice. R.I.P.

[@skiburr]

That’s awesome!!!

[@yvonnedavis1461]

I did too ,, That is how I discovered Michael Burks by listening to Kingfish . I noticed that Kingfish has some of the same style like Michael Burks . I was so sorry to read up on His background and find out that He it's already deceased . Kingfish is Awesome , I plan on going to see Him next year on Tour.

[@Giggiyygoo]

Same with me here. It's a crime more people don't know of him. Playing over the empty promises track is pure joy if you've never tried.

[@Bigtymer1]

@@Giggiyygoo yessir. Love it

[@Bigtymer1]

@@yvonnedavis1461 man, I found out last minute that Kingfish did a concert about 45 mins away from me yesterday. Wish I could’ve been there, that dude is a beast

[@melanurasful]

One of the best songs i've ever heard and Michael Burks took it and made it THE BEST of all.

I met him at the Firefighters Blues Festival in South Bend, IN along with his cousin, Larry McCray. Both extremely talented and awesome guys. Wish I could say I had gotten to know them. But I only had the privilege of meeting them for a few minutes.

FANTASTIC rendition of House of the Rising Sun by the equally fantastic MICHAEL BURKS, a truly great guitarist, sadly missed by blues rock fans worldwide, thank you Michael, for your many wonderful performances!!!!

Me! I am from Helena, Arkansas…well technically, Old Town on the Mud Line. Twenty miles from Helena Crossing down on Hwy 20 torge Elaine, Arkansas. And, I play guitar like I came from there. I go way back. Thanks….for the memories and reminding me of who I am.

[@TomasLjung-jj5dp]

Michael is playing this song to a story and feelings in to rythm and blues at the highest performance on a stage best version must Postumt say bravo bravo Bravissimo ☆☆☆☆☆

[@davidswift8795]

Just how much soul can one man contain..God spoke into this man's heart

[@57Stratocat]

Love this. Such incredible feel. Not the same style, but very similar force-of-nature soul & style I saw Freddie King play with at Ma' Blues in Dallas. Such a rare gift. BTW, small world - I was blessed to play with Michael's drummer, Chuck "Popcorn" Louden, on a weekly residence for 3 1/2 years here in DFW. We used subs when Popcorn was out with Michael, and unfortunately, it was one of those times when Michael passed while arriving in Atlanta customs from Italy. Popcorn had also toured with Buddy Miles for over a decade.

[@cindybauer1302]

I am, 2024... Such a damn shame he passed on so young. Really Great Musician...Was a Great Man, I knew him and his family. 😢❤

[@kamiyaghmaie4310]

Simply Fantastic!!

[@Amsterhammer]

This was the first time I saw Michael. Been in heavy Michael missing mood tonight. A fantastic player with a tone to die for, and a sweet man. Taken from us far too soon. RIP Iron Man.

[@klausdattner2184]

Sehr schöne Version dieses Klassikers. Dieses Lied gehört in ALLEN Versionen zu meinen Favoriten. R.i.P. Michael Burks.

[@timhoovermusicman]

saw him at a twice at a tiny blues club in salem Oregon in 06&07, didn't know who he was the first time,what a nice guy! stayed and talked to us for an hour after the show.

[@matteodicarlo5848]

Purtroppo lo ascolto solo da pochissimo. Però è entrato prepotentemente nel mio cuore. Talento cristallino, suona un blues tutto anima e cuore. È stato un peccato averlo perso. Ci restano i suoi dischi e le sue strabilianti interpretazioni. Per me ha qualcosa di speciale. Grazie per tutto Iron Man. Grazie di cuore.

[@wendellburkhart8169]

I'm so glad I got to see this amazingly talented player before he passed away. He actually had the flu the night I saw and spoke with him. Humble, great guy. Thanks for posting this video.

[@kgkjack]

Saw him at Pocono. Bought one of his cds that day. Loved it. RIP

[@ngotozimbwa3400]

[@dannymiles6503]

Holy holy smoke Big Man.. The world lost an incredible guitar giant when you were taken from us. A guitar performance to match the best ive ever heard. I absolutely love your Hey Joe where you are playing outside and we see you up close with your Fender Strat and you are wearing that lovely shirt with the gold trim on it. Thankyou for leaving these performances for us to remember you.

[@eaglewindrider7700]

Oh Wow so sad I missed this great musician during his time here on earth but so glad he was recorded.

[@marcdeiana1682]

Je viens juste de le découvrir par hasard. Un seul mot:EXPRESSIVITÉ. Magnifique de meme que sa version de Hey Joe.pour une fois youtube va servir à qq chose.a decouvrir ce grand,tres grand artiste.

[@alantaylor8916]

All I can say is.. awesome. I've seen some greats in my time. Michael is up there.. RIP... Hope you give Jeff Back a hand up there in guitar heaven.

[@wademarlar9616]

Played with a ton of emotion perfect damn good

[@tuiboy56]

awesome sweet as bro

[@BradMills-dc1hr]

I have seen Micheal too many times to count. I saw him 15-20 years ago when he played at the Horseman’s in Sac Ca the Big Mike used to put on. Michael played for almost 4 hours that day till midnight. To this day I have never seen such an awesome performance, makes my cry every time I hear his music he was truly one of the greats unknown to so many. Glad I was apart of his experience and the many times he came to the Horseman’s and all the other shows. RIP MR BURKS. I am still listening.

[@donnaplacco3648]

Still watching January 2023...C'mon!!!

[@carmenganapini9163]

Fantastico👍👍👍

[@calpremier]

One of the best ever, that no one knows. Truly a legend of tune and time. Dude can play like none other. RIP brother

[@secretreleases]

"Affengeil, wa! Leck mich am Arsch, dat hadder drauf doo! Aha! House of the rising sun, ey! House of the rising sun, doo! Hooeeyy! Da geht mir aber der Hut hoch, doo! Jaa... leck mich am Arsch! Wow! Hey!" Ich hab die Aufnahme mittlerweile so oft gehört, dass ich diese "Adlips" nicht nur auswendig kenne, sondern wenn ich mal eine andere Version von dem Song höre, hab ich den kölschen Kerl dennoch im Ohr! Hahaha... This is probably my favourite version of this song!

[@KnEpH131]

One of my Top 10 favorite songs, and Michael's cover is on the list as one of the best.

[@EmrahOrtakaya]

Burks was a true legend. Send this performance to clapton who said “ I am a blues guitarist”. Then he will understand what a blues gitarist is. Burks was so underrated when compared with other clowns. Gary Moore, SRV, Albert Collins, Burks and many others played with their heart, very sad they all passed too early. At least one legend still alive Mr Buddy Guy…

[@andyturner3940]

Pretty cool!!

[@ragnvaldjan]

Merry Christmas to you, Michael, in your blues heaven! You' re one of the greatest, ever!

[@emejopiallaaride849]
