I saw him in a little bar in San Antone during a thunderstorm that was so bad nobody came out. So I grabbed a chair, took it across the empty dance floor to the foot of the stage a few feet from where he was sitting and playing and I pretty much got a personal performance from 5 feet away. I regret that there couldn’t have been a larger crowd to appreciate him, but what a memory for me. I will never forget it. He was amazing.
That was a Sultan of Swing!
I jammed with Gatemouth in Monroe, La back in the early 70’s. What a great guy he was. I was just blown away by his guitar technique as were the other guys there. He hung around for a long time afterwards showing us wannabe guitar players licks and answering questions. One of the fondest memories of my 79 years.
His finger picking alone is quite unusual
That's fucking rad...much respect
He was a bad dude!
You can play that guitar any ol which way you like,just play that guitar
Lucky man
great story - great artist - wish they had more of him on this channel. I have him on several iTunes.
Gatemouth was a truly great guitar player, and multi instrumentalist, who was somewhat unknown in mainstream America, and passed on too soon. RIP Gate playing in the angel band
One of the best nights of this old man's life! My ex-wife and I witnessed Gatemouth demonstrate his amazing ability to pull a crowd INTO HIS WORLD with his awesome and unique musical talents.
The year was 1981 and the venue was the Whiskey River located on Grenville Ave. in Dallas, Tx. Absolutely one of the GREATS. He was not only a master on the guitar but played the mouth harp and a fiddle in his own unique style. Damn, this man could sure play some wicked blues on his fiddle.
Met Clarence at a little honky tonk back in the 70's. Nicest guy you'll ever meet...and he sure can play!
This song was written by Clifford Scott. I was a little drunk at Fiesta San Antonio and he was on staggered playing. I asked during a break if he knew Cockroach Blues by Albert Lee. He said yes,do you? He asked if I would like to come on stage and sing it. What a gentleman and what a memory. I did my best and everybody seemed to love it. Fun
Such a great story sir :)
Beautiful
James bueker This song was written by Bill Doggett, Billy butler & Clifford Scott a another guy in 1956, I was 13 years old, that honky-tonk beat is behind thousands of songs
thank you. I agree but always attached it to Clifford for some reason. No disrespect to anybody. My mistake. Great tune for sure
I saw this great man and underground Atlanta and was privileged to stay after hours. He did a fantastic show after closing he sit down at the bar, ate his dinner on a tin plate just like you and me he’s truly magical.
Gate was like a chameleon . He could play anything. Big Band, Swing, Texas Swing Blues, Country. Played some cool stuff on the fiddle, too. Sad to see him go. We're losing all the great old performers and they're not being replaced with greater talent, that's for sure.
#ColdHardTruth
What? When ? I been out of touch
the part about not being replaced with greater talent definitely isn't true. there are a lot of great young guitarists, you just need to look
@@zoso2112 exactly. All these people that say new music sucks don't look any farther than the shit on the radio. If they actually spent more than 10 minutes looking into newer, smaller and indie artists they'd realize that there's a massive amount of new talent out there.
Yes, and the lack of good replacements is so sad. I wish more people had really wanted to learn and learn from all of the greats while they were here. Virtuosos don't come along all that often. People need to learn.
That entire band is solid as a rock..
I love how he sits back and let the band do their thing..
Yes, very good.
Gatemouth was the definition of a class act. Used to play at the Stanhope House in NJ. He was something very special!
My wife and I saw Gatemouth in NYC in a small club some years ago and were completely blown away. What a show what a showman, what a man!
I missed him at a small club in Humble, TX regret it to this day, saw Doyle Bramhall I there though on a different date.
Oh yeah!!! Saw Clarence in the 70s outdoors on a small college campus in the country. What a show
Clarence is awesome! He's the Texas Blues equivalent of Wes Montgomery!
Oh yeah !!!
@nitroxsam66 wow that is very astute! i agree that he is indeed the Wes Montgomery of the blues
Love it. That's my late friend Dennis Taylor on sax with the red shirt. When he wasn't touring he'd come and play with our little local blues band in Boston way back in the 80s. RIP Dennis and Gatemouth.
Hey Hal - don't know ya, but we got something in common with Dennis "Two N" Taylor from Barton, VT. He was too good to be workin' up here and went to Beantown and then Gate and others. He sat in with my late 70's band, The Slant Six Revue, as well as 80's band The Throbulators up here in VT. Great cat an' a helluva player. I'm with ya - RIP Dennis and Gate.
he just loved to play
My condolences i wish he was my friend!
" B flat , the peoples key . " Dennis Taylor
I introduced the Eric Dimmer the lead Sax player to Gate in Houston, Tx. at the Black Forest in 1991 and he put him to work. Gate let me front and play Harmonica with his band when in town he was so Gracious. Eric and I played together on the Houston scene in those days. I worked with T.C. and the Cannonballs, People with Hands, did some shows with Albert Collins and sat in with Willie Nelson, while living in Tx those were epic adventures. R. I. P. Great Master of Music, Clarence ( Gatemouth) Brown.
My best friend and I took his mom and dad to see B.B. King and Gatemouth at Interlochen Academy here in Michigan. This was back mid 90s, B.B.Kings 70th Birthday. Fricken awsome!
You are blessed! I envy you 😍😍😍
But thank God for CZcams!
Am I right folks
What a genius that is some soul sound from the man. Can definitely show the young ones of today how to play with his toes. God rest his soul. RIP blues man.
I used smoke Hippie hay on Chimes Street with Clarence.That is next to LSU campus .Never knew he was famous.Untill I saw him on TV. What a cool man.Heads up!!! If he had his tobacco pipe in his mouth.It was cherry tobacco and weed.He said you cannot smell the Weed in the pipe if ya got cherry tobacco in the pipe. he grew good smoke!!!!
😀
Holy Cow! Gate mouth talk to that guitar!! Luckiest child in the world got to listen to this as a child, no wonder I love music!
Saw him in Cleveland Ohio a few years before he passed. What a great show.
I always like when they let each musician take a run!!!
All these players are amazing.
Saw him in Lubbock TX 1975 or so. Awesome. Small club. Best places to see good music, forget the stadiums and convention halls.
Stubbs?
Yep at Stubbs on East Broadway. Gone now, so is Earl "Stubbs" Stubblefield but his kids carry on in Austin
Texas blues guitar is a thing of beauty
From the Stones, to ZZ Top and many of the best bands in between … I saw Gatemouth and Orchestra at a Gulfport, Ms Holiday Inn back around 81. The best concert and performance I've ever seen !! RIP Mr. Brown.
The real deal
Magical playing
Thank you for posting this gem 💎Great vibe
I caught Gate at a little dive bar on Speedway Ave in Tuscon in the late '80s. I almost cried when he did "Take the A Train". We miss you Clarence.
His style caught my ear in the 80s. He was the gateway that got me into jazz. Back then it was Sabbath & AC/DC all the way, until I heard him.
Rick Allen
Same with me !
And BOC
Had the pleasure of meeting listening to him at tchefuncte campground years ago Great musician
One of the best guitarists I'VE ever heard.
Great clean playing!
Texas version of the blues brothers,awesome ,this is without a doubt the best show on TV!
I went down to San Antonio to hear him at a Country Club. I was a musician in Fort Worth and we loved Gatemouth. We played Okie Dokey Stomp all the time in Fort Worth. They are playing Johnny's Playhouse in this recording.
Good golly, who doesn't absolutely love Gatemouth. I loved his seemingly perpetual smile. You can tell he appreciated his audiences. R.I.P. GB🎸
Sweet stuff. Give me Clarence any time!
Anybody giving this thumbs down are jealous !
One of the greatest country artist that ever lived! He should have been much more popular, much more famous and we should all be listening to his music just like we are so many of the other dead f******
" American music Texas style "
I'm 64 and only discovered Gatemouth recently and love his music, I wished MTV would have featured artist like Gatemouth way back when because I would have listened to it. Life is a new adventure with CZcams when I discover new but old artists from my generation. The music was so much better then, no rap crap like you have today!
Have you listened to Rory Gallagher?
@@theherbpuffer i have. he was outstanding. he could have opened for Clarence. he probably would have jumped at the chance.
Masterclass!
That's why I got the Blues every single day 😍😍😍
Your thrill ain't gone
Love that Sweet home Chicago rhythm and style
A truly great and tasteful player
Wow simply superb, and that guitar tone.
I had the privilege of meeting Gate, literally in my driveway in the 90's WHENI lived in Manchester,Ct. Good friends of Gates were my next door neighbors. They made sure to call me to meet him bc I was just getting into playing guitar. I was so nervous I was shaking. He had told me to keep an eye out for his daughter bc she was a up an coming singer,songwriter. Sadly I don't know if she made it in the business. We also talked about BB KING, and a few other things. I will never forget that day!
Another great Texas guitar master
Without Clarence there could never have been a Stevie Ray. ..... LEGENDARY Blues MASTER!
wonderful!!! love Gatemouth!!!😀😉✌
I saw him a couple of times live. Great shows.
❤The Greatest. He didn't get the credit He Deserved 😢
I'm ashamed i missed up on so many talents like him before.
Don't be my friend:)
Never to old to learn something of the blues
There are so many man
Sooo many greats!!
The king's, Albert Collins and so one buddy gut etcetera
Check out Rory Gallagher and Roy Buchanan if you haven't already
Missed? Ok didn't hit
Up? Ok not down
Missed up? I don't know
What does missed up mean?
Saw the late Gatemouth Brown in Shreveport during my senior year of High school in Shreveport in '82. I told him I was from Beaumont and he smiled and replied that he was from Orange! What a musician!
Shit I didn't know he was from orange port acres here.
Gatemouth was amazing
Got to see Gate and his band several times. Always a lesson in Funky Swingin' Cool....
How can it be that I enjoy this so much? No drugs, no alcohol, no nothing except ear ecstasy!
Guitar heaven!! Sax on the side!!!
I too lost it all during Katrina but my soul is full of cajun memories.
I came down with The Salvation Army after Katrina over Christmas. When you see it on tv and then actually see it in person, it's a whole difference experience. We worked in the warehouse in Biloxi. Handed out lots of stuff.
I saw gatemouth play live several times.the guy was phenomenal. Absolutely one of the best.i thought I was a pretty good hotshot guitar player but after seeing clarence I knew I still had alot to learn.
DH haha haha. I did actually laugh out loud.
He's amazing is all I can say. Superb
Love how he plays that guitar! Amazing how much talent there is out there.
There really is. I honestly forgot about Gatemouth til I recently started rediscovering artists. Such an unrecognized talent. Shout out to Rory Gallagher and Roy Buchanan, two of my favorite guitarists that are always overlooked.
One of my favorite performers at the Metro Fountain Blues Festival in San Jose and also at music in the park in San Jose.
THE band's OUTTA SIGHT, BLUES AT IT'S VERY BEST., THE beat,makes you WANT TO dance THE night away.....PS CAN I GET A WITNESS....?????
The coolest cowboy 🤠 ever
Just a pleasure !!!
lucky to have seen him in a small bar in pitt,pa. in 1983...hes one of the best gtr players ive ever seen !!!
Fantastic performance by everybody. Great sax solo.
Mighty fine playing all around!
Thanks to people like u.I am survivor.God be with you.
Big WOOWW! from Macedonia! Thanks!!
Nobody plays like this man!!
I enjoyed Gatemouths' stint on the Beat Show that was taped in Dallas, Texas with Hossman
Bill Allen of WLAC 1510 Nashville, TN circa 1960s.
He was more than cool.!
It don’t get any better. What a band!
Gate mouth is super bad!! That band could play with anybody.
CLARENCE YOU ARE VERY GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!
We love this stuff, Hi there Henry Wilson here from Clitheroe Lancashire England.
Happy Birthday Gatemouth Brown🎂🎸04-18-2022
I have been around a long time and don’t believe I have heard Honky Tonk played any better I don’t care who was playing.
Seen em tons of times...what a MONSTER musician & showman, y'all‼️
One of the last times, I was at New Orleans Jazzfest, Gate was talking with with the desk guy at Louisiana Music Factory.
Thanks Live From Austin TX 💖♪ ♫ 🎸🎷 🎻🎹🎺🌺🎧
Magic from A to Z 🎩🎩🎩 -
I was doing a Saturday mid-day DJ shift on a radio station down in the 4 Corners area in 1976, when I heard a knock on the door. When I finally was able to answer it, the man there introduced himself as Gatemouth Brown. Luckily I had heard of him and had even seen his picture somewhere so I knew it was him. We sat and visited for about an hour. It was one of those conversations that seem to have a life of their own, what a thrill it was. About 25 years later I saw him in concert and he more than lived up to his reputation. We visited for about a minute after the show and I even scored an autographed poster. To show his street creds, he recorded LP's with Roy Clark for C&W and Eric Clapton on the blues side. A true giant.
Dude can play!
Damn, that is straight up FIYAH!!!
Bloody marvellous!
I had his grand kids in Oklahoma City Schools, knew his son Dwayne (not sure if he is still with us). Did a wikipedia search and found the family information. This just happened to appear on my you tube list ! ? ! wow.
❤❤❤
I should really sell all my guitars! This is what real talent looks like!
Do Not Sell! PLAY!!! 😊👍✌
Love Gate ..........
Buddy Holly's version of Honky Tonk is a real treat to hear. Love this version too.
Many years ago I saw Clarence Gatemouth at La Boite, a pub that no longer exist in Barcelona, Catalonia: although the crowd in that small place, the show was incredible!
I tried to never pass up a chance to see Gatemouth when he came thru DFW. I first saw him when & was 23. I probably caught close to 15 of his shows before he died. I got to talk with him several times.
These are licks worth learning.
was fortunate enough to get to know Gatemouth a little bit, what a sweet guy, we enjoyed some nice herb together
Same here! Back in the 80s when I was in school here...He's from the same area I am (Orange),and he laughed at our little 'white peeps' pinner.
drug losers
@@MrAbbotm Try making sense. People tend to respond more positively. You're too slow to form a proper insult, Sparky.
thats cool............wb
@@estebanb7166 I thought I was being quite pithy, if you require a long winded insult, I can oblige. Only a bottom dwelling and unlearned person would advocate drug use, specifically drug use that would inhibit and destroy the mind.
Phenominal performance..Listen to the rhythem blue's..got the beat reaming inside of me..fantastic
A lot of people don't know Gate was a Grammy winning fiddle player too!!!
Great job on a classic. :)
that bass player guy is a freakin champ - any band would be glad to have him.
i have always said that any band is only as good as it's bass player.
This stuff is so good. Every note counts.
That's my old homeboy Harold Floyd on bass, originally from the Mobile Alabama area. Growing up in the late 60's, early 70's Harold was in many influential local bands in Mobile. During the Vietnam war, 1969, Harold was drafted and we drove in my car to Kentucky to pick him up when he was on leave. Listened to the Beatles all the way back to Mobile. I'd love to know if he's still around and where. He was always a fabulous bass player and was a tremendous asset to Gatemouth as he aged and became more infirm.
An amazing talent - no doubt SRV fashioned a lot of what he did after this blues man.
I did FOH sound for Gatemouth at least 4 times that I can remember. He always was easy to make his band sound great. He always had top notch musicians. I do remember this drummer in this video.
Met outside his tour bus around Bolton,CT. about 1992-3 Nice as could be
Such a Texas sound. Running the gamut from swing to country to blues
We would dance with gate mouth brown all night.
Ok
Fantastic!!!!
that's some great blues right there
No one here is going to appreciate how amazing the trumpet player is?
5:16 WHAT??!? He hit a high C here!
5:38 HOW?!?
Liking it I thank I am getting chills
I didn't know this video existed. Thanks SBMteam for noticing the dbl C's. It brings back some great some memories. You will not believe the pre-show story with this gig! Another time maybe. Dennis and I were no longer playing full time with Gate. They flew us in for the show. What a night! Unfortunately Dennis and Gate are no longer with us. RIP mis amigos.
