American Music Hall, San Francisco. The Coast to Coast Blues Band, Charlie Musselwhite, Santana, Robert Cray, Ry Cooder, Larry Hamilton on bass, Deacon Jones on the B3 and Bonnie Raitt. It doesn't get any better than that!
Dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last couple of weeks xD
QUE GRANDE SENHOR DO BOOGIE BOOGIE E BLUES PARA MIM SERÁS SEMPRE O REI R. I . P SIR: JOHN LEE HOOKER O MEU OBRIGADO POR TERES DEIXADO UM ESPETACULAR LEGADO UAUUUU
Ooh My Ears ... Santana , Musselwhite , Cray THE BEAUTIFUL BONNIE Cooder , and all the others Ooh my EARS ...how luckly you two are ! You been HOOKED into HOOKER ....enjoy the RIDE !!
What a ton of talent on that stage! Just when you think it can't get any better with the likes of Bonnie, Carlos and Robert, Ry steps up and blows everyone away! Always the musician's musician. Thanks for posting!
I was fortunate to have seen John Lee & Jimmy Reed @ The Whisky a Go Go & later @ the Tip Top in the ‘60s. Btw - Bonnie Raitt is on stage with them here & you just can’t leave her out of this jam!!
When I die I want all this wonderful artists to play at my memorial...I cannot get enough of Boogie chillun specially Ry Cooder...I saw him this summer in Calgary...Thank you
First Bonnie Rait points to ry..... then the music stops.. then John Lee starts ,,, " common common". and " just like boogie chillin" .. That lady got class.. she is the queen of slide.. and ry is the king.
@Chris Knez I take it back.. I have read many articles today on LOwell George and if he taught Bonnie,, NOPE. She knows him and worked with him for sure.. but she taught herself in college and was playing slide long before she met him.. she does credit him with her application of electric slide and credits both Ry and George as an influence.. www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/bonnie-raitt-and-the-fugitive-emotions-evoked-by-slide-guitar. She credits him and others with infuencing her electric slide style and her approach regarding equipment, amps etc.. But she was playing slide years before they met.. she was playing slide in College.
@Chris Knez Not sure why the second half of my post did not show up.. but she credits George and ry with influencing her equipment and moving to electric slide.. but she taught herself.. I also had a clip.. www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/bonnie-raitt-and-the-fugitive-emotions-evoked-by-slide-guitar
Funny thing - I was just down here reading your post when Charlie started blowin the harp. I was sure it had to be him, and when I scrolled back to the top there he was. This is 2023 - what a flash back this was!
Recently saw a show featuring Ricky Skaggs Band with Ry Cooder on guitar, and the White Family....I’ve always been a fan of Cooders music but had my doubts how he would fit in with traditional country music..I should have known better...He fit with the rest of the players like a glove...The guy is a player no matter the genre...
On with the show,this is it ,John Hooker,Stevie Ray Vaughan and others that are stringing in this ole time band of musicians,all legends ..got it..Stevie Ray Vaughan on gyitar..with melody and rhythem going out over the world..Angels of the band ..Stevie could play those guitar strings till the strings got tired of him ..great musicians on stage .never forgotten .still going n,in 2022..RIP Legends
Love how the music stops for Ry Cooder...he is mister "I don't want the spotlight" and they all stop and there he is in it and he doesn't miss a beat. It is as if they were playing a practical joke on him.
damn - what was that !? Santana playing background, Bonnie ripping some fingerpicking slide, then Ry rips it all up - now that's a tribute to the bluesman !
hey,this is so great! everyone's got their style,no one's better than the other. you or i may prefer one style over another,but still-all unique and great-boogie on!
That bunch of talent on stage was an embarrassment of riches. Being a Ry fan of course, it was also a lovely bit of stretched out instrumental tension. Where all this came from, how it got conceived, gestated, born, and grew up, is one of the loveliest stories anywhere, and particularly, of America. The Django blossomed into the Hot Club of France, to be sure, from bare gypsy beginnings. But he did not invent that music. He just embellished and enhanced it. Seeing that crowd on the stage. Ain't that the wonderfullest kind of diversity? I could have listened to that for sixteen hours straight. And barely broken a sweat on my soul. So sublime.
I've only seen jlh give that "laugh" one other time. It was also with Ry at a live show where Ry was just on fire. "Yeah, that's my guitar player, Ry Cooder" is what comes to mind when he laughs like that.
With the sweet groovin' drum stylings of the great Bowen Brown, now touring with Tommy Castro, and sometimes found at the Marin Coffee Roasters on Saturday mornings with the Treblemakers.
I was thinking to myself... Why is Ry Cooder getting equal billing to the Great 'John Lee' when Carlos Santana, Bonnie Rait and Robert Cray, Plus, plus, plus are all on the same stage. Why???? Then Ry Cooder started playing. Just shut me right up. He's got real class,
Plus, he was doing some recording with John Lee at the time, and some gigs. He was kind of John Lee's sideman around that time. So yeah, he gets billing. He also gets down in the groove.
I'm glad they mentioned Ry Cooder in the title, but there's a couple other lesser known guitar players there like Bonnie Raitt and Carlos Santana😂🤷🏻♂️
You can tell it's the early 90s because the bass player is playing one of those hideous headless basses. What a line-up though, everyone is killing it. Love Cooder's guitar tone.
SMOKIN'!!!! Had to come back for more!
Bonnie Raitt is so gracious, I love how she points to Cooder . I wish I could have been there.
American Music Hall, San Francisco. The Coast to Coast Blues Band, Charlie Musselwhite, Santana, Robert Cray, Ry Cooder, Larry Hamilton on bass, Deacon Jones on the B3 and Bonnie Raitt. It doesn't get any better than that!
No it doesn’t!

@Rudy Jacoby definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)
GAMH many great musicians have played
Rock and Blues Royalty on the same stage!!
Who can not like this - Bonnie Raitt - always good - in any constallions.
Alright. Son of a gun, Ry Cooder and the legend John Lee Hooker, wow. Glad I cam across this one...
Bonnie is in awe of that RC slide. I love all these people.
Bonnie and Ry have known each other since at least their early 20s
And then, John Lee giggles at the end of Ry's solo, priceless.
Takes me back to the days when I could put on my vinyl, get myself right, just close my eyes and be transformed by music.
Why not now? Music is still transformative. I'm 75 and the music and, an occasional good buzz, still sustain me. Great music never ends.
Ry Cooder! The highlight...I just can't breathe while he's playing!
QUE GRANDE SENHOR DO BOOGIE BOOGIE E BLUES PARA MIM SERÁS SEMPRE O REI R. I . P SIR: JOHN LEE HOOKER O MEU OBRIGADO POR TERES DEIXADO UM ESPETACULAR LEGADO UAUUUU
I wonder what it feels like to perform on stage with such a fabulous crowd of musicians with you? Must be out of this world!
Ooh My Ears ... Santana , Musselwhite , Cray THE BEAUTIFUL BONNIE Cooder , and all the others Ooh my EARS ...how luckly you two are ! You been HOOKED into HOOKER ....enjoy the RIDE !!
What a ton of talent on that stage! Just when you think it can't get any better with the likes of Bonnie, Carlos and Robert, Ry steps up and blows everyone away! Always the musician's musician. Thanks for posting!
greenlight studios You cant forget the awesome harp player Charlie Musselwhite himself.
Don't ya just love it when that happens?
@@jimchumley6568 The great Charlie Musselwhite.
I had my first recordings of Ry Cooder back around 1970 - 8 Track!!
Would've loved to have seen Lowell George, Sonny Landreth and\or Roy Rogers join in. But this is wonderful.
Holy crap Batman. What an amazing lineup of top talent.
great to see so many big names paying homage to the great john lee.
I'm a white Aussie boy.Why do I love the blues so much?
because it hurts not to !
Parce que la musique n a de couleur que celle de l émotion.
A Ry smile at 5.11 :) What an amazing musician! I've been appreciating his music since the 70s. Saw him at a gig in London last month. Brilliant stuff
The smile from Ry is from absolute respect and admiration for John Lee Hooker
Astounding !!!...where would we be without these amazing musicians !? 😁❤
I was fortunate to have seen John Lee & Jimmy Reed @ The Whisky a Go Go & later @ the Tip Top in the ‘60s. Btw - Bonnie Raitt is on stage with them here & you just can’t leave her out of this jam!!
Ry really nailed it with his performance. All that talent on stage with John Lee Hooker.
I love Ry Cooder...the best at what he does, period.
When I die I want all this wonderful artists to play at my memorial...I cannot get enough of Boogie chillun specially Ry Cooder...I saw him this summer in Calgary...Thank you
First Bonnie Rait points to ry..... then the music stops.. then John Lee starts ,,, " common common". and " just like boogie chillin" .. That lady got class.. she is the queen of slide.. and ry is the king.
@Chris Knez good to know

The harp player is hall-of-famer Charlie Musselwhite, one of the greats.
Funny thing - I was just down here reading your post when Charlie started blowin the harp. I was sure it had to be him, and when I scrolled back to the top there he was. This is 2023 - what a flash back this was!
Thanks! I wanted to know who that was. Really awesome!
Another great harmonica player is Darrell Mansfield
Recently saw a show featuring Ricky Skaggs Band with Ry Cooder on guitar, and the White Family....I’ve always been a fan of Cooders music but had my doubts how he would fit in with traditional country music..I should have known better...He fit with the rest of the players like a glove...The guy is a player no matter the genre...
He fits into any and every genre. Check out his recordings with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and Ali Farka Toure. Amazing stuff.
ljgriff43 I would have died right then and there. the end. ; )
Bonnie Raitt is on the stage backing up. She earned it.
The voice of JLH is so cool. Hooker 'n Heat was my introduction to him. Boogie Chillen no.2 Let that boy boogie woogie...
Nothing today can compare! Magicians one and all! 🌹 83 soulless humans watched this...why?
When Ry slides up high sounds just like a woman singing. Freaking amazing!!!!!
On with the show,this is it ,John Hooker,Stevie Ray Vaughan and others that are stringing in this ole time band of musicians,all legends ..got it..Stevie Ray Vaughan on gyitar..with melody and rhythem going out over the world..Angels of the band ..Stevie could play those guitar strings till the strings got tired of him ..great musicians on stage .never forgotten .still going n,in 2022..RIP Legends
Ry could shut everyone up without even pulling the stops. Even when he's coasting he's killing it.
Omg. What a crowd of greats! Makes you want your whole town to put a Woodstock together just for them. Makesyafeelabuncha g-force.
COOL COOL COOL 👍👏♥️
Due to guitar solo parts....Ry Cooder and Santana killed it completely. Especially Cooder. Pure magic.
Just a massive load of talent, the stage could collapse under the weight of it
Love how the music stops for Ry Cooder...he is mister "I don't want the spotlight" and they all stop and there he is in it and he doesn't miss a beat. It is as if they were playing a practical joke on him.
You nailed it man.
Cool video, a room full of boogie and blues!
Cant forget the great & awesome Charlie Musclewhite.
Long Live Detroit and John Lee Hooker!!!!!!! The Boogie.........
Wow, now that's a jam session!
This is as good as it gets. Man this is blues
damn - what was that !? Santana playing background, Bonnie ripping some fingerpicking slide, then Ry rips it all up - now that's a tribute to the bluesman !
Just don't get much better than this. Smokin' HOT!!
Thanks so much for posting.
some of the best with JLH, What a Legend Line Up!!!
1.29AM and I want to dance. Lovin' it! What a line up!
Now, that’s what I call real music.
THAT slide note at 5:04 !!!
Charlie Musselwhite on harmonica ....
Absolutely "Sensational" Line up !!!
I can't believe 20 people exist that don't like this jam session
there's no accounting for good taste
And with a laugh the king approve
The note that only god and ry cooder
Could play !!!!!!!!!
An Ry laughs too. Fun video to watch. Ry always looks like he is having a good time when he plays
Unbelievable collection of great musicians . . . . Sure wish John Lee was still around
Right Dan!!!
This to be history.. never mind he already is !!!
Tell me this is what blues heaven is like
John Lee was the boogie man God bless him surrounded by talent what would Simon Cowell say?
What a blast of a show !
Wow! Thanks for posting this one. What a magical night this must have been!
Because Ry Cooder is a blues legend
What a SUPER BAND!!!
Man it's 1:19 am and I wanna go out dancing! This just gets me pumped! So much great talent!
Some serious talent on the stage
Dig this BOOGIE ! He laid down the line for ZZ Top & many others !
THIS MUSIC MAY NEVER STOP.
You forgot the rest of the legends, this is awesome
May we all be inspired to the blue by the angel himself and his disciples. !!!!!
When Bonnie Raitt is your guitar tech and puts your axe back for you, you know you’re the Master.
Ry is a God among Gods.
Makes Clapton sound like a lounge act
@@lastnamefirst4035 - Weellllll... I wouldn't go THAT far. But yeah, Ry's my guitar hero so I can appreciate the sentiment. Lol.
please play this incredible piece of music at my funeral....all my favourite musicians altogether....
Awesome cast of players. Ry Cooder and Charlie Musslewhite really killing it with their solos for sure. Thanks for posting this.
Cool music great and video. Thumbs Up !
meraviglia assoluta per l'anima
hey,this is so great! everyone's got their style,no one's better than the other. you or i may prefer one style over another,but still-all unique and great-boogie on!
That bunch of talent on stage was an embarrassment of riches. Being a Ry fan of course, it was also a lovely bit of stretched out instrumental tension.
Where all this came from, how it got conceived, gestated, born, and grew up, is one of the loveliest stories anywhere, and particularly, of America.
The Django blossomed into the Hot Club of France, to be sure, from bare gypsy beginnings. But he did not invent that music. He just embellished and enhanced it.
Seeing that crowd on the stage. Ain't that the wonderfullest kind of diversity?
I could have listened to that for sixteen hours straight. And barely broken a sweat on my soul. So sublime.
it gives me chills every time I listen to it
I've only seen jlh give that "laugh" one other time. It was also with Ry at a live show where Ry was just on fire. "Yeah, that's my guitar player, Ry Cooder" is what comes to mind when he laughs like that.
The harmonica makes this song. Just like Blind owl when Canned Heat did it on Hooker N Heat
Blind Owl was unfortunately dead when they recorded Hooker n Heat
MrHenrik81, No He wasn't dead.. he's playing harp on Boogie Chillin. .But ya, he was dead when the album was released.
It looks and sounds like Charlie Musselwhite.
He looks like Paul Butterfield to me but I could be wrong.
With the sweet groovin' drum stylings of the great Bowen Brown, now touring with Tommy Castro, and sometimes found at the Marin Coffee Roasters on Saturday mornings with the Treblemakers.
What a line up of fuckin musical talent ...heaven on earth !!!
Brilliant, what a line up.
Don't get no better than this.
I was thinking to myself... Why is Ry Cooder getting equal billing to the Great 'John Lee' when Carlos Santana, Bonnie Rait and Robert Cray, Plus, plus, plus are all on the same stage. Why???? Then Ry Cooder started playing. Just shut me right up. He's got real class,
probably the best string instrument player
thomasyuma1 I am a big fan of Ry Cooder but I had the same question then he played his solo. Enough said!
Listen to Let It Bleed slide and Ry
Plus, he was doing some recording with John Lee at the time, and some gigs. He was kind of John Lee's sideman around that time. So yeah, he gets billing. He also gets down in the groove.
Ry Cooder is highly respected by his peers in the business - Most underrated performer of his time.
Ry Cooder…making it feel right.
I remember when Frank Zappa said Rye Cooder was the best guitar player in the world...I belive he next said jokinly "next to him!"
That’s a helluva lineup on stage.
Santana, Bonnie, Raitt, Robert Cray, Charlie Musselwright, and Ry Cooder
Thanks a lot for this!!! I cry because I miss this!
This makes me want to snort a line of blow and go water skiing right now for some reason😁
Wow - what a great stage full of best blues musicians. And everyone so nice and young and full of energy. Thanks to who ever posted it.
DAMN RIGHT! That's what I'm talking about !
Smokin' Hot!
Thanks so much for posting
And dig this -- Bonnie Raitt?? in the backgroung,....man .. good stuff lol I know I am boring repeating myself......HELL neverrrrr lol xxxx
Bonnie gives John Lee a big kiss. You lucky man, you!
Amazing. Thank you for posting.
Love Ry
biamaku, you are my hero for posting this. I wish this song could go on for about a 1/2 hour more, wow.
Imádom ezt a bandát!
❤️
Good god ya'll.. Would have loved to have been at that jam.
don't forget Robert Cray!!!
Bonnie Raitt
Santana
I'm glad they mentioned Ry Cooder in the title, but there's a couple other lesser known guitar players there like Bonnie Raitt and Carlos Santana😂🤷🏻♂️
You can tell it's the early 90s because the bass player is playing one of those hideous headless basses.
What a line-up though, everyone is killing it. Love Cooder's guitar tone.
Why did they stop playing those Steinberger types?
Not to mention the white muslin pants and puffy shirt.
And Bonnie Raitt.
she plays the best.. and looks the best too. Did she give John Lee a kiss ?
She sounded better on slide than Ry cooder.
She's in absolute awe of Ry, watch her at the end of her solo and then again while he is playing.
True, right on 5 minutes she mimes giving up playing guitar.
Ask Keith Richards what he thinks of Ry cooder.. There are a lot better slide players with less attitude
That's so cool its insane!
