John Lee Hooker - One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer

Hey what do you want, One Bourbon One Scotch and one beer. Legendary. And just not making new school like they did old school.

One Xanax, one toke, 5 beeyers.

Boom, Boom, Boom, start of Blues Brothers, is wonderful.

"One bourbon, one scotch, one beer" !, the dose more than just, lethal, for resignation.

is that Duck Dunn?

The best Johnny s song ...

Thats the man himself

Had a friend that knew JLH. He took me to meet him one day. We talked, then went into his room to get away from the people that were also in that room. As we sat down, John Lee asks me if I play. I reply, yes, I play some! Over in the corner, there's a Gibson 335 (I believe it's the same 335 he's playing in this Vid w/ his name inlaid on the board). John says pick it up a play me something. Nervously, I pick it up & fumble through a Hendrix tune. He loved Hendrix, then says; "that's might fine son". He autographed a few things for me & we went on our way. I'll never forget it....

Jeez you’re so lucky

Rich915 you

The Master............

John lee Hooker, put chills in to my bones. Best........1-10-2017

Well, ifya gotta hava drink.... Listen here, the JBP is on the AMI i-net Jukebox.... These tunes go Gr8 with Whiskey or Gin.... And BEER too.... I wouldn't lie to ya.... Salute!

that was a pretty sweet lick from 1:56-2:00

Is that the late great Donald Duck Dunn playing bass?

@moscowbill It is indeed.

+Inspector711 why you calling him a clown? Donald Dunn's nickname was the the "Duck." Apparently you're not familiar with Booker T and the MGs...

yes.... and that looks to be Jr. Watson on the Guitar! Great performers that night with John Lee Hooker

No. This is Steve Gomes on Bass.

Thank god.

Thank god we have footage of legends, so many before him are lost in a video sort of way....but we can listen to them.

What I loved about John Lee hooker is that he's one of these guys who I can understand when he sings, but I'll bet that I could hardly understand him if I were to hear him talk. For some reason that added to his appeal. It's almost as if black people in the Deep South, especially from his generation, had their own language in addition to having their own sub-culture. It's something that just couldn't be replicated.

This is the shit.

for all you haters out there john lee hooker will live on long after your bones have turned into dust live on johnny

yeah that's right! all you fourteen haters out there...

Do you think that maybe his song "too young",exists on the youtube?cause i cant find the original ;((

True story.

how in the F, can anyone who enjoys great music hate this?? JLH is classic!! His music is great...Eff off if ya hate!!

Why do I feel like a drink?

everytime i hear this song whether by JLH or Thorogood or whoeva, I need 1 bourbon 1 scotch and maybe 2 or 3 beers.

Wanna b drunk in blues.

Best damn bass man that ever was.  Miss you Duck.

Nah, the pipe is missing ;)

JLH taught the "Dos Equis" guy everything he knows!

really?

Legend !

LOVE THIS SONG FOR TAKING A LONG DRIVE.

I agree. I don't know Bieber's music, so I don't say anything. But his behavior is another matter. He lip syncs his concerts, which for me is a high crime. As a singer myself I find that personally insulting. He uses a fake piano. He abandoned his pet monkey, he doesn't pay his bills, he's an all round awful person.

What the fuck are you on about. Shut up and just nejoy the genius of this man. How you can even mention lady ga ga in the same sentence as this man is staggering!

One of the hardest musicians to follow and the band backing him is phenomenal.

originally called the house rent boogie...

If only it were contagious

Justin Bieber bashing is not only old, it's a pure sign of jealousy and ignorance...not that I'll be coming a "Bielieber" any day soon, but the kids who call him "fag" & "loser" are waiting for their next welfare cheque while young Justin runs from flocks of tighties into his limo to go discuss his money with his manager. Who's the real "loser"? LMARFO.

I'm a male musician, he definitely is one of the top 5 greatest bluesmen in history. I am southern, but you have to get way down in loosyanna and be black to have that mans voice. I love Howlin Wolfs scratchy mean vocals, you have to been bad to cut it in that scene back then, it shows in their faces. I think Mark Lanagen is a good baritone vocalist I'd pick, he's still cranking out great music.

yeppers!!I LIKE this kind of soundsif I were black and a dude I definitely would sing like him :)

Feel good factor pretty dam high right now.

that is zz top playing before the beards

Amazing!

ive been a hooker fan since i was 18, im now 50.rip john lee.

I wonder if the white band always insisted on speeding up Hooker's later renditions or if it was his idea.

awesome

un gran maestro

I guess a guy named Ilovegore89 would always be thinking about what people have on the inside.

this is amazing as ususal.

Ideal for New Years Eve.

Nice tune, delivered beautifully by John Lee Hooker and these superb musicians.

anyone know what kind of amp he's playing thru here? (looks like a blackface super reverb?)

nice one .

Duck Dunn on bass and Steve Cropper on guitar. The Staxx Power

yea I'm 1000th to like...yoooohoooo

Thats one cool mofo

I really hope you end up in the dark corner of an alleyway in New York City.

Max you dopey little turd. John Lee Hooker was one of blues greats... I suppose your favorite band is the chantoosies or maybe even wham hey... Get with the program man !!!

I hope you guys or girls know that the Blues is a Musical expresssion specifically stemming from the African Diaspora experience. Please stop minimizing the beautiful ways in which culture and the passion for racial pride have contributed to the blues.

True love for this artist man to continue playing like this...he makes it sound so natural...People try to immitate...they sound good ... but even when he just speaks is not wrap...this is true talent my respect for this blues man and others like him.

I feel like so a deuch but I love the black blues so much man...I just dont mean to seem so accepting of a culture and its people I obviously have never experienced. "ahhh I love black people" lol. I just fricken hate what has become of blues.

max starks, it's obvious you don't know shit about, all the music you hear these comes out of the blues, buy a john lee hooker album, listen to it and then come back and we will forgive you ;-)

Cool doesnt have to go away with age! John Lee had it to the end.

You just have no brain.

john lee hooker what a great artist

shut your stupid fat mouth you idiot you wudnt know real music if it bit ya in the ass you poor dumb dragged up excuse for a man now just go and dam well learn to respect people boy before your fat mouth gets you into trouble This gentleman does get radio play actually you sad pathetic idiot

Mr John Lee Hooker a true artist and performer real muscic

I think you don't have any idea of what is the blues and who is john lee hooker, keep listening to rihana or lady gaga if you like it and please have more respect to Music, if you don't like it you can just close the window..Peace Peace

what are you guys talking about. are you all stupid? John Lee Hooker always had white musicians playing with him. same as almost every other blues or jazz musician, when it comes to the music it doesnt matter what color you are. only thing that matters is can you play.

lol yeah ok kid

And Everyone. No matter what, Race, Creed or Religion has the Right and ability to play their heart out. Not an army of Ignorant people like you, Will stop them. as a matter of fact. If it wasn't for the White Blues movement from England in the Sixties and Seventies and the American movement at the same time, By white kids who fell in love with the blues, This Genre of music would have Virtually Vanished. Same goes for SRV and even John Mayer. White and Black have done their share of keeping on

The Blues has no Skin Color. To say one group of people can do something and the other can't simply because of Race is a racist remark, And the Blues is no place for that. Listen to Joe Cocker, Robert Plant, Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Thorogood. Albert Reda. The list goes on with great Blues players and Singers. Race has not a damn thing to do with it. If you think that, Then you sir are an Ignorant racist. Who cares about the past. From africa came the blues. Music that soothes.

That's before SRV Came a long :)

First I'm gonna quote Buddy Guy. "Of course white folks can play the blues, he got 5 fingers don't he?". Second. Go listen to nay go look it up and watch STevie Ray Vaughan. And tell me that man can't play. Sorry but the blues is an emotion. It doesn't matter if your purple, Green, blue, black or white. If your from Texas, France or Mars. It's something your born with. Ask any great Blues artist and he'll tell you the same.

Yes white people do know a lot about blues..Thats part of they music..

Nor do a lot of black people I know. If we're talking blues I think alot of people in the 1930s would understand as they lived in poverty from a recession. But now, no. As for the blues I love it.

well, actually not, white bitches don't know shit about the blues.

If you dont like some kind of music, ignore it, it is the best we can do.

Awesome!

DARKNESS!

Always the best......UmmmmHmmmmm

this man oozes badass

what wrong wit ya'll enjoy great sounds or switch to aBerber sounds

You know I get that music has changed drastically and in some respects it's lost it'sway. I agree, but I also know people like John Lee Hooker wouldn't appreciate other people putting musicians down like that. Hey I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga or Justin Beiber either, but at the same time I'm a musician and wouldn't dream of bashing other musicans just because I don't like their music. Besides that this Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber bashing is getting old don't you think? Let's move on people.smh

great sound sheesh

good for you. enjoy your cavities unhygienic loser

Same here, hugely underrated

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band is awesome, probably one of my favorite bands.

I just Heard the George Thoro not so good version of this song. I would rather chew foil than hear him sing that song again... John Lee Hooker, Show em how it's done.......

Paul Butterfield Blues Band was the best white blues act of all time in my opinion

It was a joke, you dont need to take my comment seiously it bothers you that much. And dont judge me, you dont know me. I know that anyone can have the blues, I'm white and have feel the blues everyday when I lose every dollar to feed my children everyday, worrying about keeping my house the next month, working 3 jobs and having my wife cheat on me. The blues is the way to let out feelings in a positive manor. It was the great howlin wolf that said "when your thinking evil, your thinking blues"

amen to that my friend!!!!

now that's the blues!!!!!!!

seriously what kind of statement is that...you must be a 12 yr old with no musical knowledge.

That is just a silly statement. Just cause you don't have talent don't clump all white people into your talentless world!!!!!

you both need to just stick to nonblues music as you must have no idea what it is all about and for you to put skin color to it is one of the problems with American youth as you both must be really young to not have a clue what the blues really is... yo should be ashamed its no black or white....it's the blues.

My momma's family is all from MS which is the birth place of the blues and I am pretty white... and for all of you retarded white people who insist on putting a skin color on the blues then stop listening to the blues and try listening to some "white people music" whatever that is... maybe you should stick to corporate country or maybe try some power pop...

Well, dmorand2009 you are wrong wrong wrong and for someone to say white people can't have the true blues is a statement that only a person who doesnt even know what the blues is.It's not a color its an energy and a passion and and you must not have it.

@DMorand2009 True to a certain extent, George Thorogood is a great blues man, Stevie Ray Vaughan was an amazing blues man, Allman Brothers and Canned Heat were amazing blues bands. Its possible for white guys to have soul and the blues. But we'll only have medium soul, not Howlin Wolf soul

@ilovegore89 that's right. The blues come form the inside, not outside.

@redc338able what the fuck kind of comment is that

...When you play does not matter the skin color, race, creed or sex, but the emotions that you transmit and your desire to play...

Sitting like the king he is.

It's pretty cool how John Lee Hooker performs eachc song a lot differently each time he plays it. I don't really see the point in seeing someone live to hear exactly wht you heard on the record.
