Pinetop and Johnny Johnson are legendary pianists! Wonderful men who forwarded much great music to us all. Memphis Slim went to Europe and others stayed in America to entertain and amaze audiences everywhere with recordings and brilliant performances! Thanks for posting this video. We've lost Pinetop and Johnson now but will always have them in spirit and recordings like this one!

[@Fuzzypuppy357]

Thanks for your tremendous contributions Mitch. I'm a longtime fan of this legendary group of performers. America wouldn't be the same w/o them!!

Sho yo right, Memphis Slim toured Europe... But don't forget " M A G I C SLIM " !! Pinetop was da man !!

How many people can play Boogie Woogie at 96 years old?? Pinetop's a legend for sure.

[@Johnnycdrums]

Ninety-six year old "Pine Top Perkins" performance from 2009. I think that man has probably forgotten more than I know. Hat tip boogie woogie man Mitch Woods.

[@all_skate]

What a relief. I still have 40 more years to work on my piano chops. There may be hope!

[@waynniepohatu9802]

When you bring a 96 year old legend like Pinetop who lived and breathed the era of boogie woogie, you don't let em, wait, you let him do his thing . He young at heart. ❤️

[@mechcavandy986]

Besides being the great piano he was, he was a kind, loving gentleman, as real as they get. RIP old friend.

[@MJBMeyer]

Pinetop Perkins was the best. He passed not many years back at 97 yrs. old. He traveled everywhere and was a legendary piano player. I saw him a few years back at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, AR. He's legendary.

R.I.P Pinetop. You left us a treasured legacy of your magic. It cannot replace your existence in our lives but be trusted that your presence is etched in our hearts and souls for eternity.

[@Fuzzypuppy357]

If I could play like Mitch I wouldn't get anything else done because it looks like so much FUN! I just love this stride piano and boogie woogie, as does MOST of America! Long may you run!

[@jswsnijder3353]

Wow, there are no words to describe how much I enjoyed this clip. What a great man, respect

[@Capergirl49]

Just so wonderful to see this man playing like that. Music is something that stays in your heart and mind. Those of us who do play a bit, never stop. My mom was 92 when she passed away and she could still sit down and play music.

[@carolinewebb3700]

First time watching. It was great. Really great watching an listening to Good music. 👍 👌

[@carolinewebb3700]

You Tube needs more good music like this. It's great to have others who can play what ever to join end play. If any could dance to this music could join end. Thanks. I live n Florida but good to hear good music. Thanks Again. I love that Boogie Woogie. It's GREAT

[@psychobunny32]

In my 20's, I was asked to dance by a gentleman in his 70's. The band started with some Cumbia music, then changed to Boggie Woogie music. Holey Moley! I could hardly keep up with the man! He was tossing me all over the place! Had a line of women waiting to dance with him and he danced with them all! Never seen so many happy women!. What a gentleman........

[@Mr427351]

This is great Mitch. I've loved Pinetop since I first heard his stuff on the radio in Indy back in the early 1990s. I lived in Indy for 14 years and spent a lot of time at the Slippery Noodle watching some of the best blues acts in the world. That made me pick up the bass guitar and then the Fender Strat with a Blues Deluxe amp. The blues are the best.

[@mspinkytee]

I mean he is making that piano do cart wheels. Amazing. Those keys must be on fire!!! Both artists pure fire!!!

[@miaibanez1753]

what a trip! so happy to have found this - Pinetop's gives me desire to live long!

[@dimitridubois]

no words ... just amazing at 96 !!!!!!! one of the bests ever forever !

[@bardmatthews498]

Seen Mitch perform twice, he was always great. Now you add Pinetop what a legend.

[@CityGov]

You can't tell them nothing at that age! What an absolute treat this video has been. I really love the way he is looking at the band all the time making sure everything is tight.

[@flamencoprof]

I also noticed that, glad to see someone else made the same observation, I thought it was a sign of a true musician.

[@SiegePerilousEsauMaltomite]

CityGov That man smoked cigarettes and ate Macdonalds till the day he died! Had the great pleasure of seeing him play a few times at the broken spoke just a few years prior to this.

[@dropilol]

Seeing a human being ROCKING at 96 years of age... I love this species! NEVER quit! I got a grandma age 96, sharp as a tack! I know a farmer, age 87, still gets out on his tractor in the summer heat! Loving life and what you do will delay death til YOU'RE ready.

[@thelointavern]

In memory of the best blues piano players ever... RIP PineTop you were a true legend

[@salhart6143]

Kids of this century will certainly never appreciate this type of music and the good times that used to be had

I saw pinetop at a club in Cleveland in about 1996 - celebrating R.L Burnside's birthday. What a show, two legends playing together.

[@colinhalliley111]

Mr. Burnside was a homegrown bluesman. Loved him doing music for Soprano's .

[@rraztthole820]

First time I've heard of Pinetop. It is absolutely awesome

[@toneroable]

[@davewattskeyboards]

If I can still play the piano at his age it will be a miracle. What a great man and a great player. Dave Watts keyboards

[@jimhart2917]

Give the man a little room. He's a treasure. Let him 'no clutter' so this can be an archive performance

[@mariarusso1155]

Hi Jim how are you doing. Hope you had a good day. I’m from Minnesota and I’m looking for a new friend if you don’t mind 😊

All I can say Pinetop you are with out a doubt the best.🎶🎶🎶🎹🎹

[@lov3lou]

“I like it here” ... what a legend!

[@tombeyer375]

When he puts his cane down and hits the "shave and a haircut - two bits", you know things are about to go down! His delay and play style shows his expertise and love for music! RIP dear brother.

so many great piano players all over the the world, I love this video

I stumbled on this while watching Little Richard, when I lived in California we went into S.F. one night with some friends and Mitch was sitting at the piano of a near empty bar. We drank and sang all night around that piano, he's a great guy. He was 'Mitch Woods and the Rocket 88's' then. Glad I found this. Tip o the hat Mitch.
