Thats some of the best Harp I have ever heard. 🎶

[@Jonathan-L]

The guy who played harmonica sounded much better.

[@JohnInNJ76]

Just one PRIME example of why these two were THE BEST at what they do.

[@squeakeththewheel]

My only objection to PB is that he tended to hog all the song time blowing the harp instead of letting MB play a lot more. I could listen to MB all day. PB not so much.

[@JohnInNJ76]

OMG. Butter and Bloomers. The blues just doesn't get any better.

[@daveb7811]

I bought their first album and East West in the mid '60s. Haven't been the same since.

[@jamespettersson9655]

thats about as calm and non manic as i have heard mike on a solo, very nice

[@chrismichaels6928]

Super Session … his pinnacle.

[@keithwelch9351]

Harvey, Michael and Paul! Bloomfield is the guitarist who surprises me every time no matter how many times I've heard that version. Solos are nice but his background fills and gentle walks are just so laid back, layered and educated.

[@pascalsauvetre1154]

Fantastic blues, great groove, great feeling: beautifull soulfull music.

[@georgerodda4405]

Sweet😂🎉

[@vernlamb666]

These guys brought the blues 'uptown' and made them accessible for many that, otherwise, wouldn't have experienced them.

Real pioneers in the next generation of the blues.

[@jimfladwood4393]

REALLY GOOD QUESTION! Mike Bloomfield didn’t want the spotlight he just wanted to play.. He was from old Jewish New York Money. His family owned Blooming Dales in New York. His father was really disappointed when he heard Mike just wanted to play the blues. The fame and money didn’t matter. Mike was a humble and kind man. I got to see the Butterfield blues band at the Fillmore East.❤ they played for over three hours. I couldn’t get up to leave. He lived and died the blues.☮️

[@torstrasburg8289]

What solos these guys blew! Mike's fluidity is astounding.

[@josephlemko3027]

The only time I ever saw The Paul Butterfield Blues Band was at the FILLMORE East in December 1968. They were the headliners & they brought the house down. Butterfield; Gene Dinwiddie & David Sanborn on sax along with Elvin Bishop on lead guitar provided some of my more memorable moments at the great concert venue. But that evenings highlight, for me, came during the second acts performance. That group was Super Session with Al Kooper & Mike Bloomfield. Like Butterfield's band they were outstanding. But the best part was when Bloomfield introduced an unknown Blues guitarist named Johnny Winter. Unbelieivable!!!

[@torstrasburg8289]

@@josephlemko3027 Yeah, I've listened to that several times. Pretty darn awesome!

​​@@torstrasburg8289Thanks! It is tough to find someone these days that ever heard of Johnny Winter, let alone Butterfield or Bloomfield.✌️

[@richardbartolo2890]

I always felt the best lineup for the Butterfield band was the original lineup of Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop on guitars. Without Elvin the band still sounds fine, with no huge loss of quality. But having Elvin on that second guitar really filled out the sound nicely. It just bothered me when a new band would come out and played well, Then a player would leave. Jethro Tull had that happen on their 2nd album.

[@janjablonsky]

It had to be well before 1971...Bloomfield left the band around 1967.

[@UnknownHumanOnline]

It was two nights in a row reunion in Boston 1971 , December

Is Clapton really better than this guy? This band butterfield in it's own way influenced as many musicians as the Beatles. Think about it?

[@AugustWest74]

He was much better than Clapton.

[@HernanieLegaste]

Actualy some of his guitar licks copied by clapton

Clapton is better. But, I prefer Mike. Totally original, and not afaid ro show his flaws.
