Canned Heat - Shake and Boogie

[@francesgonzales8246]

Thanks, Fito De La Parra, for keeping the band alive. Best drummer in the world ! I read Fito's book Living the Blues best book ever!

[@mavjimbo]

He has signed several CD and DVD covers for me

[@juliancrang]

A peace of boogie heaven.

[@DukesMusic84]

RIP Alan Wilson, forgotten member of the 27 Club. And the Bear, hugely underrated singer.

[@SJDunham]

Let’s not forget Henry “the sunflower” Vestine, one of the best electric guitar players. That band had some incredible talent.

[@astragreen]

Alan wasn’t in this lineup (who’s forgotten him)he had died, why mention him regarding this clip? No offence but if you watch a stones clip in the 70s you don’t first of talk about brian jones!.

[@astragreen]

Bob hite wasn’t ’underrated’ (as you claim) by anyone except perhaps yourself!..

[@astragreen]

The two clowns in the 80s calling themselves ‘the blues brothers’ were indeed pathetic to the extent of embarrassing I seem to remember bob saying something to that effect!.

Canned Heat '75-'76: The late Bob Hite / vocals & guitar, the late Henry Vestine / guitar, the late Richard Hite / bass, James Shane / guitar, Fito De La Parra / drums, Ed Beyer / organ. (missing: Clifford Solomon / tenor sax) The camera lens is distorted: Bob & Richard actually look thin here, (something they never were), & the blonde "Fender Bassman" Henry's using, (2-12"speakers), looks like a "Fender Tremelux" (2-10"spkrs).

[@mo9504]

This Band was and still is the " never talked about " band in Rock n Roll History. Yes, they were VERY good.

[@jdcrow6]

I sure which I could have seen these guys live with the full original line up! It's as pure and free as blues can be. One of the greatest bands of all time!

I’m lucky I got to see them in San Francisco. All the original guys back about 1969 or so.

[@HardcorePartyMonster]

Thanks Sterno1967. An I'm not attacking Richard - he was an adequate bass player. He had some tremendous footsteps to follow.
