[@slydogmania]

RIP John Mayall, hugely influential British blues legend

[@bobareeniobobareenio2935]

I will sorely miss John Mayall. 😢. Really sad news for me. Well, of course for all that knew him and his joyful music.

[@bytoriasnowdoggy]

Rest In Peace, John Mayall November 29th, 1933 - July 22nd, 2024 (Forever In Our Hearts)

[@paulvincer199]

The songs is called "Let's Get Together" originally by Jimmy Reed. Covered by The Blue Magoos among others, including this John Mayall performance from PBS The Show in May 1970

[@wjwmorrow]

Wow! A wonderful historic clip. Great to see footage of the late great Duster Bennett on guitar/harmonica/vocals. Thanks for posting.

[@robomaster4882]

Thanks. I was wondering. I don't remember this version of the band. John's had so many.

[@strawforest007]

Duster Bennett is singing variations around the chorus of "Let's Get Together" by Jimmy Reed. The verses could be drawn from other songs or his own improvisation. A fantastic piece of footage finally seeing light of day.

[@Tutikuri]

RIP John Mayall. That was one tight bass player they had there BTW!

[@Badfinger4]

Alex Dmochowski. LEGEND

[@kevinmcalpine4521]

I saw Duster Bennet live years ago, brilliant on his own too. I'd completely forgot, till I came across this on the tube. Saw John Mayall live too, at Gloucester Regal, doing 'Turning point' . Brilliant show.

[@whowahska]

Duster did studio session work with Peter Green and BB King.

[@JM-io6966bili]

Good Swinging Boogie , John Mayall Still Alive And Long Live !

[@jessegriffin8775]

Thank you for your talent and music, Mr. Mayall. Rest Well!

[@whowahska]

Duster Bennett!!! Great video. His "Jumping at Shadows" is classic.

Thanks for posting this, and RIP John Mayall. John Mayall - harmonica Tony ‘Duster’ Bennett - vocals, harmonica, bass drum and hi hat Johnny Almond - saxophone Alex Dmochowski - bass Jon Mark (John Michael Burchell) - acoustic guitar

That's Jon Mark (John Michael Burchell) on Acoustic... He was on Bluesbreakers albums The Turning Point and Empty Rooms. He passed in 2021.

[@ted149]

@@richardctaylor79 of course…Mark Almond! I will update. Thanks.

[@toneyisaiah3556]

Father of the blues British and American.

[@johnkoval1898]

Not even close. The founding fathers of the Blues originated in the Mississippi Delta, long before Mayall was even born.

[@tommcgeethree]

The Father of the English Blues. Sure. He put he own stamp on it. But the American Blues. No way.

[@toneyisaiah3556]

I know he was not an American but he loved the blues.

[@toneyisaiah3556]

People seem to have written him off.

[@toneyisaiah3556]

Let me correct it. Father of the British Blues movement.

RIP John Mayall good bluesman

[@maryuline2585]

Thank you for this good memories from the hippie days!!

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

My friend (thanks Doug H) bought me my first John Mayall album from the local Kmart. I’ve been playing harp since then all these 50 years.

[@cliffordnewell2445]

This must have come from some really deep archive. I saw this show when it first came out.

[@tom.brady7]

I played this 3 times straight. I loved this so much proving that when something works you stick with it

[@Randy-f2z]

The best ❤

[@ovidiulupu8484]

I saw him 15years ago,a quartet playing Many standarde of blues.fabulous,chapeau!

[@peach495]

Seen him live twice. In 1973, again in 2009. In 73 it was a full band of about 9 guys including Freddie Robinson on guitar, Keef Hartley on drums & Blue Mitchell on trumpet. They really cooked. In 2009 it was a stripped down band, just him & a 4 piece band. I don't know who the guitarist was but, as you might expect, anyone playing with Mayall is gonna be good, He was, he tore it up.

[@toneyisaiah3556]

Turning Point is my favorite album.

[@onodagaufo6187]

RIP John Mayall.

Duster Bennett was the best one man band who played blues in England. Its too bad he's not here anymore!

[@edwinmichaeloran9515]

walking in john mayalls' blues shoes on you tube now.

[@jensschwogler1924]

The guy on the bass is Alex Dmochowski!

[@mikehiers]

Doing a hell of a Larry Taylor impression. This was the era when the Mole played with Mayall on Turning Point

[@alanthomson1227]

@@mikehiersSteve Thompson was bass on Turning point , The Mole played on Empty rooms and USA Union , I think .

Hang on! that is Duster Bennett!

[@jimmydean1689]

I saw him play in 1974. If I remember correctly he had a broken leg and it was in a cast? I'm not sure, long time ago. RIP

[@jokermaan1]

That must have been when he was pissed and attempted to jump from a balcony into a swimming pool and missed! Apparently he really messed up his heel and was left with a permanent limp afterwards.

[@ganglestank]

That’s duster bennett! How come his name isnt in the video title or description?

Soooo damn awsome! Whoes the multi player?

[@alexkx8599]

So...what's the name of this song? Anyone know?

[@paulcasilio1119]

Please what song is this? I’ve had a tough time looking it up, even using the chorus lyrics. I’m not seeing it show up in JM song list.

[@ted149]

Could be Let’s Get Together Baby by Duster Bennett.

[@bluesincolour]

Duster Bennet!

[@mijnvogels3947]

Yes! Duster was the supporting act during the European tour in 1970.

[@spookydog6959]

😁

[@renevankalken4185]

Great ! who is the saxophone player ?

[@rubyeyednewt]

Johnny Almond

[@sslaytor]

Is John Mayall the harmonica player, also playing guitar and signing, or the harmonica player NOT singing but obviously cuing the other players?

[@fritzfilter]

Not singing

[@mijnvogels3947]

Great! Who is the guy on bass? Is that Steven Tomson?

[@lazypokerblues]

@mijnvogels3947 It's Alex Dmochowski, not Steve Thompson (that's the way he's actually spelled).

[@mijnvogels3947]

Thank you very much@@lazypokerblues

[@aaarauz1]

@@lazypokerblues also played with Anysley Dunbar around this time.

[@daisywrabbit]

perhaps the longest haired musician and the shortest haired musician of 1970 LMAO

[@davidglow3]

The centreof the blues in 60/70s was here in England..JM then made a bad mistake of moving to California,and his career at best went sideways

[@johnkoval1898]

Where’s Clapton?

[@tommcgeethree]

This was 1970. Clapton had been in Cream and the Plastic Ono Band and Delaney and Bonnie and Derek and the Dominoes and other stuff. Enjoy.
