THIS IS THE SONG AND MOVIE THAT STARTED ME ON MY BLUES JOURNEY 37 YEARS OR SO AGO. THIS SCENE IS THE EPITOMY OF COOL. BLUES BROTHERS. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FILM!!!
Me as well. I was blessed to see Mr. Hooker live at the Long Beach Blues Festival in 1984. My 12 year old son, who by his own admission, "didn't like music," is so hooked on this film and sound track.
He may have passed away in 2001, but as far as I'm concerned, he is a Living Legend. God-like even. He will still be relevant in the 22nd century, I have NO doubt. Massive thanks for this....
Geraldo I'm with you all the way on this brother music then is the actual foundation blues music hits the soul of real music lovers thanks for the support brother
3:01 You can just see how Dan and John are just memorized by being in Hooker's presence. Anyone with a passion, doesn't matter what it is, from guitar playing to martial arts to cooking to tennis to painting, knows the awe of being in the presence of a power house in their passion like JL Hooker.
Somebody out there on the internet introduced me to the concept of leaving a comment only for the reason that when someone else comments it will remind me to come back to this gem of a post. Thank you John
It’s a shame they didn’t include this on the soundtrack. I would’ve much rather have had this song on the soundtrack than ‘Gimme Some Lovin’’ that wasn’t even really in the movie.
It is great, iconic scène.. Yet my personal favourite is with Jimmy Lee Vaughan '92.. Those raunchy guitars.. That swamping organ And then those drums.. And not the least John Lee's voice
Wow! Just finished watching the same scene as it appeared in the movie, and as great as it is, this bootleg version sounds even better! The sound is richer and closer, at least on my little speakers. Good job to whoever recorded this and saved it.
Great that this exists. That "SNL sketch movie" was certainly a miracle, it is legit up there with the best films of all time. I loved it as a kid, but now it feels even more magical because I've listened to and learned to appreciate all those musicians that just keep popping up as the movie goes on. "We already have the best band ever, but how about we also put James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker and Cab Calloway in to perform musical numbers?" It sounds like a fantasy, but it actually happened.
With the Legendary Blues Band: Big Walter Horton on harmonica; Luther Johnson on guitar; Pinetop Perkins on piano; Charles Calamese on bass guitar; Willie Big-Eyes Smith on drums.
Sweet home Chicago is by far the best song in the movie. Perfectly suited the ‘chase’ on the way to the county assessor’s office. “The use of deadly force in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers, has been approved…..” brilliant.
Not the best. She caught the kathy is so much better. Sad thing it is right at the opening. The audience is too busy getting sucked up by the movie instead of listening to the music
Yes we dig it! Things you do not hear anymore like lets get your groove on,shut the back door,Peace out, love not war,groovy,don't come knockin if you see this car rockin,Let's roll! Keep on truckin.
One literally can hear and feel the fun they had playing that song ... what a beautiful version of an already mighty song ! Thanks for finding and uploading !
If I were to play this to the kids at my school it'd take about 15 seconds for one of them to start whining it's boring... They just want to hear rappers scream obscenities and think that's music when there's no instrument in sight...
One of those cases where the first version of a song i heard is still my favourite. Back in the days of yore I recorded the film on VHS (remember them?) when it aired on TV (shitty quality to begin with), and then pulled the song onto cassette (remember them?). Cool to hear this version of the song complete and pure. However, to me it feels almost incomplete without the sound of the sizzling sausages at one point.
JLH was the 3rd blues artist I saw live, in performance; 1st, B.B. King at a dinner club, then, Muddy Waters twice, at a university theatre & finally, John Lee Hooker, in a subterranean blues dive...the best kinda ambience! We were only a couple of yards away, post-high school girls were literally swooning for him. This was only a couple of years after this movie, Hooker had his mojo working overtime...a real bluesman, in full command‼️ Years later, my sister's colleague gave her a photo for myself, from her best friend, who was married to JLH. He was posing on his driveway, in front of his new Cadillac. Weekly, I learned he'd jam with a group of women, at their home. 🇨🇦
I wish i was from this age... alone with my best budy on a lonely road in a loud big block v8 and some cigaretts in our mouths.... while this song is playing in the radio.
John Lee appeared on Thank Your Lucky Stars (British Pop Tv Show) back in the 1960’s. They made the mistake of giving him his bottle of whiskey (part of his contract) before the show……drunk as a skunk he still performed Boom Boom perfectly.
Apart from 'Sweet Home Chicago' this is the only real Blues song in the entire movie. All the others are obviously wonderful tracks but they fall into Soul/Rhythm'n'Blues or Rock'n'Roll.
She Caught the Katy is a blues song, written by Taj Mahal and Yank Rachel, and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band's Born In Chicago is heard on the soundtrack when Jake and Elwood are first pulling up to Elwood's hotel.
This is tied for my favorite John Lee Hooker with 'the bank robbery' on a movie soundtrack for 'the Hot Spot', the bank robbery is John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis and Taj Mahal!
saw the blues bros on a double bill with animal house back in the early 1980s. walked down the road to HMV and bought the blues bros album. this song aint on it!!!!! great album never the less. got me into the Blues.
Fish Hub This song isn’t on the soundtrack. To be honest, I have no idea where it came from. I just found it on my hard drive and would love to know where the original source is.
This version with sound filtered is great ! I saw that movie in the 80's and i think is the best american film of music ever make. Blues releaf my soul. Thanks for share it.❤
This man had so many talents! No one ever sounded like him.I hear this song and think of NCIC New Orleans!Good show but,not happy after they killed off one of the main characters Lucas Black(as Detective Chris LaSalle) OMG he was so good with that New Orleans accent! Been watching him since he starred in movies as a youngster!OMG!😣
A number of years ago my wife wanted us to do a couples massage at a spa in downtown. So we went, it was nice, and coming out we were looking for something to do next and I suggested we walk a few blocks to Buddy Guy’s. Sure enough, maybe the first or second song the band played was this one. I told my wife, “We went to your spa, this is mine.”
Another bad man, reminds me of those hole in the walls, had a good time, fish fry chicken plate, jukebox and a stiff shot of that mon-key 😆 gips place, red wolf lol 😆 😋 yeah baby!
That photo of the blues brothers and John is glorious
There's also one of Belushi, Akroyd, Muddy Waters & Johnny Winter.
i love the sincere smile of Dan Akroyd
Siii, parece que hooker hace el gesto de soplar la armónica !!

Right there with you. This scene began my lifelong love of Blues. Had the privilege of seeing JLH at the Chicago Blues Festival in '91.

Massive thanks for this....
No one gave a damm when he died because it was the same day as carrol O’Connor!
NOBODY IS GOD-LIKE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECHANT THAT
Long live the Blues of Chicago and Maxwell Street Market!!!
It's not there anymore it's really sad damn this music is a dying breed it only exist for true music fans

Jake and Elwood = Punk Rock
@alan.schertz
Well, then guess what song you should listen to right now :D
I always wanted to hear the complete version from the movie. Best performance of this song live or studio.
It’s a shame they didn’t include this on the soundtrack. I would’ve much rather have had this song on the soundtrack than ‘Gimme Some Lovin’’ that wasn’t even really in the movie.
I agree!
Fucken A, really shows what Billy Gibbons was hearing/feeling as he was getting his inspiration way back when...
It is great, iconic scène..
Yet my personal favourite is with Jimmy Lee Vaughan '92..
Those raunchy guitars..
That swamping organ
And then those drums..
And not the least John Lee's voice
@@gassyirishman2859 Just what I thought when I heard the ending lick---BG's fuel right there
No matter the time or style, a jam is a jam.

Complete classic right here!!!
Priceless gems and treasures always will be remembered!!
This belongs in a museum
No it’s timeless American song
@@mohammed_jazea exactly, it needs to be saved in a special place and shown to everyone.
The urge to do Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade is mad.....but this belongs to the men on a mission from god and John. Epic!

Epic film... Best version of this song
I was looking for this version for a long time and finally found it. And I'm glad I did.
This is the definition of legend.
With the Legendary Blues Band: Big Walter Horton on harmonica; Luther Johnson on guitar; Pinetop Perkins on piano; Charles Calamese on bass guitar; Willie Big-Eyes Smith on drums.
Was this muddy waters band?
Heck yeah. This music makes feel human
@@krakinnuts876 well I've seen Luther Johnson with Muddy Waters at RockPalace, and if memory serves well Pinetop Perkins was there as well
@@krakinnuts876 yes! And how good did they sound!!!!
@@krakinnuts876 yes, with Big Walter on harp.
"You dig that?!" - Yes sir. Yes sir, we did.
damn that's a beautiful dirty sound
I love how some versions use 12 bar form at various points, but this one's just relentless on the 1 👌
Exactly
No mercy
On the 1 refers to a drum beat though.
The 'I' means it's a one chord boogie that doesn't change to the IV, V, etc.
@@AZCobraman that’s not what on the 1 means at all!
🤦
KING john lee.👏👏👏
The sound of that guitar man!! That rocks like anything that ever come out! Boom boom boom boom
I was with Anna for over 15 yrs, I never cheated on this Lady !!!
God bless John Lee Hooker

3:43 min of epic coolness... then "Cut!" - YOU DIG THAT!!! save it save it save it!
Yeah Man, We Dig That!!!! 😎
Old school music is wayyyyy better than today's garbage music this is real talented iconic musical
If I were to play this to the kids at my school it'd take about 15 seconds for one of them to start whining it's boring... They just want to hear rappers scream obscenities and think that's music when there's no instrument in sight...
Total coolness is oozing out of my wall as we listen to this jewel
Truely amazing master of the blues im so glad i found this full recording
Fucking phenomenal, what a master.
Glorious. Raggedy precision. Greatness.
Thank you so much for uploading this ❤❤
Straight Up BADASS.
WOW I am in tears thanks for this I never imagined this had been heard!

Every time I watch that scene I can smell it. It’s smells like garlic, onions, and the lower deck concourse at Comiskey Park.
The 3 Blues Brothers from different mothers!!

Well, "The Soul Brothers" wouldn't have made sense.
@@larryn2682 why not? The song 'Soul Man', which they sang, did very much!

Boom boom boom boom
Rock and Roll!
Blues had a baby and they named it Rock and Roll
this is one of the best things ever. thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best version
What COOL sounds like.
At the end a picture with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd
The best music ever for me
Elwood: Yep...
There's cassette tapes ... and then there's SOUL TAPES
Brilliant !
Awesome
JLH was GOD!!!
I wish I was half as talented or half as cool as John Lee Hooker.
Rip decon jones - rip dad - - rip the hook - long live the blues
saw the blues bros on a double bill with animal house back in the early 1980s. walked down the road to HMV and bought the blues bros album. this song aint on it!!!!!
great album never the less. got me into the Blues.
Fish Hub This song isn’t on the soundtrack. To be honest, I have no idea where it came from. I just found it on my hard drive and would love to know where the original source is.
I won tickets to the premier & it sure felt to me was such a cool song to be missing from the soundtrack.
I hear this song, and even though it’s a bit before my time, I can smell the Maxwell Street polish sausages being grilled during this scene.
Great performance...very,very good
Only heard this through watching the Blue's Brothers. What a tune.
The Man had STYLE !
To put it in your words John lee “wherever you are; I hope your restin at ease”!
Never got to see him in person. I'd have bought Mr. John lunch if it had played out right
This version with sound filtered is great ! I saw that movie in the 80's and i think is the best american film of music ever make. Blues releaf my soul. Thanks for share it.❤

Excellent, merci ! 💝💝💝
Huv u all seen Cadillac Records
Yeah
And there's Pinetop Perkins on the keyboard!!!
You know the weird thing is that John Lee Hooker lived, played and recorded most of his music in Detroit yet folks call it Chicago blues.
Dan and John remind me of SKA musicians.
This man had so many talents! No one ever sounded like him.I hear this song and think of NCIC New Orleans!Good show but,not happy after they killed off one of the main characters Lucas Black(as Detective Chris LaSalle) OMG he was so good with that New Orleans accent!

Why wasn't this included in the soundtrack?
Because the head of Atlantic at the time thought Hooker was "Too old, and too black" for the soundtrack album.
