Luther Allison - "Serious" - Rockpalast - Live 1985

[@jasonlatham400]

How is this man not up at the front of all blues searches? You have to be kidding me!

[@sebasdebordeaux8347]

you're damn right ! The best !!!!

[@bowieeno]

The man was inspired, no doubt very deeply. His music is a gift that fills my heart with joy.

[@eduardopereira7653]

I was here about to put the same

[@jppaul111]

I wanna cry. I was just thinking about my first encounter with Luther, in 1988, He played in ''Quasimodo'' in Berlin. I dragged my friends inside. 3 yrs later I bought his album ''live from berlin''. I made all my friends love his music. Then he died. My friend send a fax message to my office. AND. I cried. I am still humming this very song. I love Luther!

[@Bushdoctorbeats]

fortunately, our family we had the pleasure of knowing him personally. As good as he was as an artist, so sweet was his personality. Blues is missing Luther, R.I.P. But he has a son who is in the same league, Bernard Allison (see ya at The Noot, we'll drink one or more :P) Jody, Pingel, Monster & the rest...

[@stanvanderlugt8271]

Luther became 40 years old in 1979. On his birthday he played a great show in my hometown Utrecht, Holland. Me and my friends where delighted, great show Maybe Ive seen Luther 4 or 5 time in concert, even at The Nortsea Concert in 1980 in Den Haag. Those where the days

[@Real_Estate_Photog]

Was working in Memphis thinking mid 90s. Went to BB Kings for diner and Luther Allison was playing that night. One of the best shows ever. Never forget that night!

[@shelbypadgett9048]

that's real music

[@FLTlingit]

And that's how the blues is done!

[@patrickgauthier2568]

Cela fait 40 ans que j'admire et aime Luther Allison. C'était un musicien prodigieux.

[@alandillard7416]

I'm old enough to have seen lots of blues musicians and he was my best, had it all. Great touch on the guitar (I played, but NOT like this) and a great vocalist as well. This is an incredible performance from a great artist and I feel sooo fortunate to have seen him live and to still (thru' tears) see him tonight.

[@tataso]

Alan Dillard Thanks for your comment !

[@sebasdebordeaux8347]

I didn't have this luck, but remember clearly a girl from my class in high school, just having witness a performance of him and telling us a few days later how good the man was.. she was still absolutely subjugated..! and that's how I knew him.. was in1987, after the album " Rich man"

[@dcron6]

Great performance from a great performer. I remember 1st seeing a concert video of him on some public broadcast channel and immediately afterwards saying I have to see this guy when he comes to town, only to find out he had already passed years earlier. RIP Luther.

[@MediaLiveHD]

I met him in the pumpwerk in wilhelmshaven when I was 12 and he let me come backstage and signed my poster. the whole band did. he was a very friendly person. was great to meet him.RIP Luther!

[@wez740]

Shame I've just discovered this now what an Brilliant guitarist and singer

[@tataso]

incredible experience, I guess you'll never forget it.

[@cybergata]

This has been my very favorite of all Luther's song. He is amazing as a guitarist, as this shows.

[@tataso]

+Nancy López He was :(

[@diego579263]

BERNARD ALLISON (SON) he made a great cover!!!!

[@iriewaregl]

Great upload ... Luther was da man ... such an amazing bluesman ... RIP

[@ramonsanchez7961]

Great song blues with the Master & Legend Mr Luther Allison guitar 🎸🎸🥁🎹

[@bachitoblues]

So much talent, but never heard of LA and his son BA until my Blues Advisor introduced me to his music this fall. I would have loved to meet LA and see him play. my blues advisor was friends with him and is friendswith his son, Bernard Allison. Will definitely see BA when he returns to the states and hits the road again.

[@Kloashut]

I've had the luck to see him play live end 80's in a youth centre here in the Netherlands. Most awkward was that maybe we had about 70 people in the room , that said the concert was a genuine blast and we had the opportunity to have a chat after the concert. Great player, kind man.

[@MrCaribbean]

He had PURE LOVE for the art of creating good music!

[@kdknickatnite6494]

Didn't realize how awesome he was, he definitely caught my attention!

[@MrCaribbean]

The could have played, sing, and rap with the best of them, he was truely an artist a blues pioneer. He had the blues in his blood

[@tonny67]

[@barbaravanwhy4564]

Awesome

[@OGStazzy]

Yesssss

[@DirkjeA]

Every now and than I pass by to listen to this masterpiece and every time again and again I am totally blown away.....💕 But I am a little confused, every info says he released the song in 1994, so how can he come to play this in 1985????

[@alanlomax100]

Serous talent. Wow, that was something.

[@tataso]

@djomlass I'm glad you like it, this performance was amazing Luther!

[@bobpiersall8380]

A GREAT talent in his voice,through his guitar & message of his lyrics...beautiful blues...R.I.P. Luther Allison

[@sheriffdu38]

Waw, only YES !

[@FreeCultureTiger]

❤️

[@taberav]

Has anyone else noticed when at the end, he's singing "just beat it... beat it... just beat it" and the rhythm guitar riff in the background reminiscent of Michael Jackson's BEAT IT? EDIT: Michael Jackson's BEAT IT actually was released about 2 years prior to Luther's "Serious". Also, the studio release of Serious does not have the Beat It chant nor the funky rhythm guitar riff. Further analysis reveals this was just a stylistic change Luther developed when performing the song live. Nothing wrong with that. I rather like it! If you listen to Michael Jackson’s Beat It beginning HERE, the funky rhythm guitar part plays alone, without the Beat It chant kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYPHqYh8edSEm5I Then the "Beat It" chant starts here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYPHqYh8edSEm5I Compare to Luther Allison where his Beat It chant starts here kzbin.info/www/bejne/joO6Zqqsm5p1n6s And then the funky rhythm guitar starts about 5 seconds later kzbin.info/www/bejne/joO6Zqqsm5p1n6s

[@MrCaribbean]

I have seen performances with him and his son, live in Germany!. Luther is bad Ass, bad to the bone!.

Luther

[@MicaSmiler1]

El put*** DIOS!

[@jppaul111]

was, my dear. dont talk bad about dead people. Luther was maybe a bad guy but he performed as nobody- he pushes his son Bernard into the business. but thats not my daily job. he was one of the best performers in blues music. sorry if i misunderstood you.

[@jppaul111]

lol. surely he was not a pioneer, but a master. thanx for yr comment. watch him with his son Bernard, ''one for me and two for BA'',lol.

[@MrCaribbean]

Talking bad about dead people??????..surely your mistaken,, when we say bad ass, i mean in a GOOD WAY!, how he played the guitar and sang his songs!. He is one of my many influences my dear. You SURELY did misunderstand me. All praises to this man cause i admired him alot for his guts, heart and soulful spirit, passion for the blues. He has gone to soon. Take care my friend, check out my youtube page some time.
