- Ultra rare video of CH with Al, "Breathe Easy". European tour, 7 february 1970 in Montreux, not the best quality, but hey, it's the Blind Owl! Check out Larry's cool bass solo. More coming soon, stay tuned.
RIP - "Blind Owl" and Bob "The Bear". You were both taken so young and so long ago. You are NOT forgotten...
His voice was one of those one of a kind voices that come along very seldom. Not technically brilliant but a voice that has buckets of emotion. Shame he died so young it would have been good to hear him develop and diversify
Long live Alan Christie Wilson! It's always a joy to see footage of him performing. And Larry "The Mole" Taylor is laying it down super greasy! Nobody brings the boogie like Canned Heat. I am so happy that film footage of these performances exist! Thank you ever so kindly for sharing.
Not many people could phrase on the harp like "Blind Owl". Many people attempted to phrase like him years later, but in the late 60's he was totally unique and in a classification all on his own. It was as if an angel sent him our way to play Blues harp for us all. He was a great writer as well. He seemed very depressed and it came out in his playing. I believe in what Danny Kirwan said once in an interview...that a white man could damage himself if he played Blues. I don't believe "Blind Owl" had many close friends, but I recall reading something a long time ago that he was close with Janis Joplin. She was a kind of misfit in society and perhaps the 2 of them hit it off socially like brother and sister. Thanks for posting this because it is a true representation of JUST HOW good "Blind Owl" was on the harp! Love it!
The bass player is attacking that thing like he's playing an upright! Unreal! What a tight pocket with the drummer!
Really love Alan Wilson, he was a true Blues icon!.......
There are a lot of great harmonica players out there. Alan Wilson is one of the greatest.
alan wilson... a blues GENIUS....... ALL THE GOOD ONES DIE YOUNG DONT THEY GOOD GOD ONE OF THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD BLUES>>
Alan and Larry at their prime. This video is like pure magic being performed in front of your eyes. So much talent, so much musical knowledge.
The Mole rocks! Big fat Acoustic amp in the back and he is pumping it out! (Funny to think he did some tracks for the Monkees!) Fito swings it.
Happy 70th Birthday Alan Wilson July 4th is the day. Wish you were here with me to hear the music. Your legacy is forever.

GREAT .... I was there .. I was 18 years as a grew up in Switzerland .. The same week we also saw Deep Purple and 'I got stoned and missed it' .. Thanks for the memory ..
Simply beautiful, man...
The Mole digs deep! And Blind Owl blowing harp! Gotta love it!
I miss you, Blind Owl. RIP! You left us far too soon.
Wow! Love it! My late brother loved Canned Heat and I followed his lead. Hope they are all in a better place.
