John Mayall feat. Carolyn Wonderland - Have You Heard - at the Circus, Helsinki Feb 27, 2019

Carolyn nails the solo down ;-) (pun intended). So happy they played this old classic.

The audio is from the camera as for some reason the audio from the H1 with the OKM II mics suffered from occasional hissing.

Bless Mr. Mayall, tireless proponent of the blues, and Carolyn Wonderland is a resourceful guitarist with lots of ideas.

[@69acedeuce]

I've followed John Mayall since the '60's. He's ever evolving but always true to the blues. Carolyn is a perfect fit. She has a unique clean style that stays true to the guitar legacy of the band, powerful and passionate.

[@iansecombe6003]

Carolyn Wonderland is wonderful I love her voice & that finger picking guitar is so cool I'm in love with her music & seeing her with John Mayall blew my mind 😀😎

[@rumpledskin7971]

John Mayall still rocks at 85. And, congrats Carolyn Wonderland for becoming the first female to join the ranks of guitar legends like Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, Freddie Robinson and Walter Trout groomed by the Godfather of British Blues.

[@robertcoates6800]

You left out Coco Montoya.

[@robertcoates6800]

Carolyn Wonderland plays as good as any guy, better than most and you should hear her sing.

[@ronnieguitar99]

Yes, Coco Montoya and also Carolyn's fellow Texans Buddy Whittington and Rocky Athus and who else? Dunno. When's he gonna call me?

[@xkecoupe]

@@ronnieguitar99 Carolyn feels exactly the blues how does John..I must admit that Buddy Whittington's guitar solo on the "Blues for Lost Days" in the studio version must be teached in the universities.

Impressive is an understatement. Beautiful and inspiring performance from an 85 year old John Mayall. The band is tight and Carolyn Wonderland is killing it on lead. Fantastic.

[@williammaurer9450]

So glad Carolyn made it into that club of elite guitarist known as John Mayall's sidemen. She can bring it.

[@evchaves]

Incredible! Age doesn't get in the way of John Mayell. The guy sings and still plays a lot!

[@xkecoupe]

On April 6, 2018, Wonderland joined the legendary John Mayall's band as his first female lead guitarist in his 60+ year career.(Wiki:)

[@oliverlawrencedesilva.1989]

John Mayell super blues

[@paullevine1813]

What a great move on Carolyn's part to put her own band on hold & step into the spot of a Blues breaker . Welcome to to world of guitar legends Carolyn you deserve the to show what we all know & that's she's a fine player & one fine lady that can play those Blues. Good for her & good for John . We miss Rocky Athas but he's doing fine back with his band burning up Texas as he has done for so long. We all know ole Buddy Whittington is doing the same , man super players all ..

[@carries.carden9160]

Carolyn Wonderland rocks!

[@andreamicalizzi813]

Thank you John Mayall!!! Carolyn Wonderland.....what tone and feel!!

[@Bimbomable]

Actually, the much rawer audio quality of the camera mics than that of the OKM II mics kinda suits this song, reminding me of the mono tone of the original recording on the Bluesbreakers album

[@ristoniva1385]

Think that John Mayall was 85 years 👍💫Carolyn Wonderland is so cool and wonderful guitarist.I love her style❤️I was the in Pakkahuone Tampere when they visited there.🌟🌟How many guitarists have grown up with John Mayall i ask?Thanks!

[@joewooding8541]

carolyn wonderfull land of blues thanks Mister Mayall!!!!

[@sbearly]

How great to hear yet another guitarist play with Mayall after all the greats he's had with him. Haven't had the chance to see him live with her - Covid got in the way. Well, actually, Governor Newsome got in the way.

[@goldenbear86]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bjocquenz]

simmering.......... Carolyn boils it over............. John, the ever band leader

[@44sk8ter]

Going to see them this Sunday, Aug. 18, Norfolk, Ct.... Been waiting so long...

[@sneakykoala]

Utterly wonderful....

[@briansimmonds7250]

First heard John down at the Castle Pub in Tooting Broadway for about 5 bob in the late 50's about the time of the Decca album with "Crawling Up A Hill" and Roger Dean on it. He had Eric C, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baler with him!!!!!!! In honesty I really think his voice sounds better for being mature now. Now I've heard Carolyn have to get the new album; hope it has some of his great blues harp on it. He really deserves to be a blues legend.

[@BernieHollandMusic]

I paid a bit more than you Bob, for seven and six I heard John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers at the Blue Moon in Cheltenham in 1966 with EC on guitar, John McVie on bass and Hughie Flint on drums - and then I went out and bought the "Beano" album and got my sister to knit me a Dennis the Menace pullover - getting back to this, I love the spirit of this young lady - never heard of her before until now - by the way she's as great a singer as she is a guitar player - may she live a long happy life !

[@antoniojosesanchez3153]

Esperaba ver esto con paciencia, Al fin veo algo de tu gira con Mayall. Grande carolyn!!!!....,,. muy grande!!!!!

[@jdhackyhackhousen3773]

I think we had him in the 70s at the Alluvium 1502 Jazz Club in Oldenburg. Norbert Vernham, Joe Arland or Petra Winkler would know.

[@Behindblueeyesinca]

Oh Hell Yes!

[@michaelpowell7120]

Wow, gettin' old is some serious shit.

[@Gooobermusic]

Estoy deseando verlos en Bilbao. Me encanta la guitarrista en la banda. John Mayall con su edad cuida bien la voz.

[@phillipriggs3375]

Seasoned !!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrMusicguyma]

Ok performance by the old man and Carolyn W.

[@billstives4419]

OMG.

[@jahkope]

Reading many of the comments below one might think music was some kind of competition like a football match, try listening with your heart instead of your heads.

[@japonaliya]

No offence to women guitarists, my favorite is a preteen Chinese rock guitarist YOYO. However, this doesn't cut it. She trys to sound like early Clapton aka Stormy Monday but her guitar is thin, playing weak and she is nowhere near the young Eric. If she wasn't female, Mayall wouldn't have given her a second look. Anyway, who can follow Buddy Whitington?

[@TheCappedCruiser]

You are so wrong on almost every point. So how would YOYO (whoever she is ..) play the blues, I wonder? You need to understand that not all guitarists, especially female ones, strive to sound 'near the young eric'. Instead, they strive to develop their own style, even incorporating their own limitations. Blues players with integrity are increasingly rare these days, but Carolyn is the real deal, and will still be working hard years after YOYO (who did you say she was, again?) has returned to obscurity.

[@japonaliya]

@@TheCappedCruiser Why the fuck don't you listen to YOYO before commenting? She is on YT. Search for YOYO doing a cover of Glasgow Kiss, especially after the 3 minute mark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5TKnoZ_g8mHmtU and then talk. No, she doesn't play blues but you can hear bits of blues in her playing if you listen carefully. I am a blues player myself and I think I am just average good, yet I can out play Caroline and don't think that's anything to brag about. IMO the best living are Buddy Whittington, and Johnny Hiland. No one can touch them.. but then again, YOYO is 10-11 when the YT vids we're recorded.

[@sbearly]

So many great blues guitarists including females. I've heard much better performances by Wonderland than here, but Buddy was definitely my favorite. Could be I just loved the material they did when he was in the band. I think I saw the band with Buddy more than previous guitarists. There was a spell where Coco Montoya and Walter Trout were both in the band and that was pretty cool.

[@japonaliya]

@@sbearly Buddy is ultra smooth and what a tone. Johnny Hiland is just as good but not only a blues guitarist. Dudley Taft is also a little known bluesman who hybrids SRV and Gibbons, but is not derivative.

[@richardcollacchi351]

@@TheCappedCruiser waggen your dog pretty heavy here better than ? yea i guess you were his first choice but you turned him down so wonderland stepped in,what a joke

[@japonaliya]

Just listened again. Listen to Dudley Tafts version of Have You Heard kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZrbeXebqbZjjtE essentially the same song except he plays it in a minor key. Anyway except for a novelty she sucks and Mayall must be getting senile. She really can't play, her "feeling" is her struggling to play. As I said, I am a living room guitarist, haven't been in a band for years, yet I can say with out conceit that I could play rings around her which is no great accomplishment. If she wasn't a girl, she would be booed off stage.
