The Fabulous Thunderbirds - It Takes Time

[@briankahanek]

I never tire of this!! 100% Killing.

[@gmondragonful]

Mike Keller an awesome guitar player, love the way he plays!,,,,

[@derhandtrommler]

Mike Keller was in my band in the mid 90's. He was a terrific player but struggled with the concept of being a "band citizen". He didn't like practice, he soloed over vocals and let his solos wank on forever. He tried to look and sound like SRV at the time, but I'm glad to see he matured.He sounds fabulous here.

[@Mojodad]

Exceptional blues tone Mike Keller has dialed in with his rig, perfect set up with the Tele.. You hear the break-up he gets with his fingers on the fretboard.. Great tone, great player.. Excellence..

[@dwightrobertson275]

That's how it's supposed to sound!!!!!Nicely done.

[@outoftheirskulls5676]

This is one of Kims best lineups.

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

Good shufflin'. Not too tight

[@KimHobbs-xw7ip]

Yes, it's the tightest band I've ever heard or it's almost as tight as J.GILES In the 1970s.

[@corrindion]

This a top notch performance, hands down deadly!

[@Fuzzypuppy357]

Excellent TELE player! I love Duke Robillard and this guy with the T-Birds. Both on Telecasters!!

[@mikemckenna4924]

[@MrGuitars8]

THIS BAND IS SO GOOD , SAW THEM IN NEW ORLEANS YEARS AGO . GO AND SEE THEM IF THEY COME TO YOUR CITY !!!!! EVERYONE WILL GET UP AND DANCE .

[@joegiffel8785]

Kid Ramos was the best lineup

[@alainbrisebois8334]

I agree,but his guy is a real good compromise though.

[@davidcatalano3781]

J.vaughn is!

[@davidlapietra9927]

Great job but miss Fran Cristina on the drums

[@alejandrobilbao340]

ME ENCANTA, BIEN DE BANDA DE SALON

[@MrHifihifi]

What is the lineup on this video?

[@mikemckenna4924]

Ya is this on DVD?

[@philturner6642]

I'm in the minority but I always thought more of Jimmy's playing than Stevie's and that in no way diminishes Stevie..

[@mikemckenna4924]

Where is this gig..?

[@1hanuli]

In Finland TV' studio

[@mikehardy4474]

This is the same progression as Wait on Time and Tore Down among others.

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

Box shuffle

[@stratluvr]

A lot of blues songs use similar progressions but the solos are where things can get very interesting

[@mikehardy4474]

@@stratluvr ,Been doing T-Birds for 35 years every gig,Wait on Time was the opening no.for Kim for 4-5 years straight.I can sing 5-6 of Kim’s tunes in the same progression.Check his solo stuff,the same.He needs some new stuff that sounds like the T-birds with Jimmy Vaughn.I asked him how many people he knew that does “I’m aGood Man every nite,he said nobody,I said I do.The old T-Birds we’re the best by far.Kim changes players every tour.

[@stratluvr]

@@mikehardy4474 if you ever play in Florida , I would have loved to see you guys play ,Kim Wilson and Magic Dick are my favorite harp players

[@mikehardy4474]

@@stratluvr,I messaged Magic Dick last year and we talked for an hour.Kim talks to you at his shows,he is a nice guy

[@davidbishop1951]

Very strange like a self fulfilling prophecy.

[@danielgoodyouarroyo7773]

BLUESNISIMO, IT TAKE BLACK CAT BONE

[@johnbolton9483]

Not my T-Birds...JS

[@rideswithhoover9789]

Is this concert on dvd

[@Pimust]

I'm afraid not. This video is a section of an one hour TV show Kosketuksessa (In touch) by the Finland's national public broadcasting company YLE recorded at Akun Tehdas here in Tampere, Finland on April 24th 2008. areena.yle.fi/1-931944

[@capefearcapt4679]

That explains the subdued audience. Great guitar playing and what a rhythm section!

[@born2funk626]

Yeah, I like the T Birds, but some of the comments are pretty crap though . Go back to school and get a music degree? I think not! Reminds me of the story of Manfred Mann ( all trained musicians) who were trying hard to play along with Sonny Boy Williamson. Paul Jones was elected to speak to Sonny Boy… “ can you tell me how many bars there are in a twelve bar blues Sonny”? He thought about the question for a second or two and replied : “as many as I f*****g want there to be”. Now that’s a real blues man’s answer!

[@hillarygraves9387]

Audience looks asleep
