We drove up to Berkeley in 1965 to see Lightnin'. He played and sang mostly on guitar, sometimes piano. Around 12:30 a.m. the theater manager came on stage and tried to close the place down according to a Berkeley city statute, but Lightnin' would have none of it. He kept moving from the guitar to the piano while the manager tried to corral him and the audience whooped and hollered. What i remember is what's in this video, that he loved the music and was one with it, a deeply magnetic, genuinely soulful man.

@AnandaGarden ~ starting about 1963 Lightnin' had a 30 minute TV show Monday through Friday afternoons on a Houston TV station. He would play guitar & tell stories. When my parents gave me a guitar I tried to learn some of what Lightnin' was doing. That was very difficult because he had crazy long fingers that allowed him to easily span several frets, which I couldn't do. My beloved parents & Lightnin' are buried in the same Houston cemetery. And I will be there too.

No se inglés pero si tengo oídos y sigo la música desde la orilla del misisipi hasta haora.

[@vincentsubmarinismo774]

One of his eras most recorded artists ( thankfully 😁) The reason for this was, he would sign a contract with one label, then go and record an album with another! He broke all the rules, didn't give a damn. True bluesman, nothin but the blues❤️

[@needsaride15126]

One of the best musicians and entertainers...PERIOD!. Plus, he was the essence of cool.

"Y'all 'scuse me for hollerin' but I'm gonna be happy." There is no one alive today that comes close to being as cool as Lightin' was. "Lode ha' moisey"

[@carlwalker9635]

SRV, and J. Winter were imitators not innovator's of their own sound within the genre. Stop elevating the children before the parents.

[@robinsmithdrums8418]

I heard him sing in a coffee House in 1965.

[@williambutler8624]

Lightnin Hopkins was the best BLUES PLAYERS to ever pick up a guitar 🎸 and sing the blues, he was a master, true entertainer, his music touches your soul, nobody can play like Lightnin, he was the BEST, JESUS WONT YOU COME BY HERE, MY FAVORITE BY LIGHTNIN, REST IN PEACE.

[@smoothoperator7023]

Acoustic yes! I'd go with Elmore James for electric/slide guitar.🔥

[@stewartfenton7660]

​@@smoothoperator7023 you just picked my two life long blues favourites,it never once occurred to me to compare them though. Lightning and Bo Diddley were the two coolest cats that ever lived. Elmore was the man the electric guitar was invented for.

[@smoothoperator7023]

@@stewartfenton7660 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 yes & yes!! they're just the tip of my iceburg! Also love Mississippi Fred McDowell(another slide master), Junior Kimbrough & Mississippi John Hurt.

Both these songs are similar to stuff I've got on different Lightnin LP's. But he was always coming up with new words, changing things around. Like so many older blues singers and songsters. RIP Lightnin and Bo,the two coolest cats ever lived. Yes I know I keep saying that.

I agree!...think most had literally never heard anything like this before, plus the cool kids were probably in the back checking it out :). The applause is amazing though, Lightnin' felt that.

And that's saying something.

[@theherbpuffer]

Listen to" watch my fingers" if you haven't already.

[@snörre23]

Here he plays with a pickup through an amp, imo his whole approach to the guitar is an electric one, even before the 60s, listen to the goldstar recordings for example.
