I forgot one little detail that applies to this crowd. You'll notice the Marshall head. Sonny's amp used to belong to he who shall not be named.

Speaking of out of tune instruments, here's a tune that's not quite a blues in form but the piano makes it sound very bluesy. I can't believe they let it on the album. I guess they took what they could get in the 50's.

LOL, voice and guitar are perfectly in tune - just not with each other! The piano has that classic Western Saloon distuning in itself but is also too high compared to voice and bass. Wonder whether they speeded up some tracks but others not when mixing the end result.

That was painful.

Little Richard has lost some weight in recent years.

It seems NutriSystem will go to any lengths to sell their products now.

nice song. i see hite's brother had joined the band to replace larry taylor. canned heat were great but i kind of tuned them out after henry vestine and alan wilson were gone.

They were never the same after Al Wilson died.

I remember growing up and listening to my brothers "Boogie With CH", "Future Blues" & "Hooker 'n Heat" albums.

Years later I was amazed to learn that they were playing a bar show at a small military facility in California (1979 or '80) where I was going to school. Well, as they went on "the Bear" took ill, and never fully made it out from behind the curtain. Heat went on (for a short while) anyway and it was pretty awkward. I remember that at one point, he was prone, behind all the gear, with a mic (which would soon be confiscated by a bandmate).

I'd blame the airline food, but I think they were from California.

Too bad, that tiny club was usually booking stuff that no one wanted to listen to, let alone go see live. I dragged a whole bunch of people down there to watch this train-wreck...oh well, I was 18 years old and they had .50 cent screwdrivers...which, come to think of it, might have been the cause of the problem.
