John Lee Hooker, Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stones: "Boogie Chillen'" Live, 1989

[@eivindgjengstjohansen9625]

He was 72 here R.I.P. 1917-2001

[@barracuda7018]

Too young to die, an immortal legend ...Muddy waters and he, the greatest ever..

[@shawnglass108]

I watched this live with my friend. We were mesmerized by John Lee Hooker! He went out that weekend and bought The Real Folk Blues album by him. It had I’m In The Mood, One Bourbon, Let’s Go Out Tonight, I Cover The Waterfront etc..We listened to that tape for hours. I went out and bought several of his CD’s and boxed sets. He has always been one of my absolute favorites and I’m still mesmerized by that guitar sound. Nobody else can copy it. It came straight from his soul and out through his whole body. Rest In Peace John Lee.

I saw John Lee Hooker around this period at The Palace Theater in LA. Sold out with a bunch of kids ready to Boogie! The curtain parts and there is the Hook sitting on a cafeteria chair with pretty much that outfit on, but with a black hat. He proceeds to sing the saddest slowest, blues number about divorcing his wife, it was awesome, pulled the rug out from the whole audience! Welcome to the Blues! He had them in the palm of his hand for the rest of the evening. Classic
