Buddy Guy - Mustang Sally/Sweet Little Angel/Feels Like Rain .

    Recorded Live: 8/14/1994 - Newport Jazz Festival (Newport, RI)

Mooie medley van Buddy Guy en zijn band.Jammer dat de cameraman alleen oog heeft voor Buddy en vergeet de voor mij onbekende tweede gitarist tijdens zijn mooi solo in beeld te brengen.Desondanks uitstekend optreden van de altijd spontane Buddy. Deze zomer zag ik Buddy optreden op het mooie Holland International Bluesfestival,23 jaar ouder en nog steeds even enthousiast.Ook dat was een mooi en indrukwekkend optreden.

The last time Morrison trod the boards of Orangefield High, he would have been ‘Van the Boy', but he returned every inch the conquering hero.
After the customary Celtic Swing intro had set the mood, the first words out of the singer's mouth were the opening lines of Got To Go Back.

 “When I was a young boy back in Orangefield,” crooned the portly figure in black, “I used to look out my classroom window and dream.”
Morrison's dreams have certainly come true, and if his choice of setlist is to be taken at face value, he wouldn't change a thing.
(Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)

 “If I had to do it all over, I'd do the same thing again,” he sang on third song Only A Dream.
As for his erstwhile classmates and teachers, several hundred of them had crammed into the school's assembly hall

Wonderful Remark. filmed by TheSweetthing2011

  The school’s closure is a shame on many levels, not least because the acoustics in the hall were better than those in many purpose-built music venues.
Every note Morrison and the band played was crystal clear, and the main man's vocals have rarely sounded better.

Whenever God Shine His Light.filmed by TheSweetthing2011

  Needless to say, he was hardly Mr Chatty, but he did seem in good form, whether announcing a “comedy section” (“Billy Connolly said I was very, very, very, very funny”) or delivering an impromptu Clint Eastwood impression during Rough God Goes Riding.
(Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)


Into The Mystic.filmed by TheSweetthing2011

 Elsewhere, Morrison delighted with a string of hits including Moondance, Whenever God Shines His Light, Days Like This and Brown Eyed Girl.
The highlight of the evening was arguably the 1999 track Precious Time.
(Belfast Telegraph – By Andrew Johnston – 23 August 2014)

 The sentiment of the lyrics (“It doesn't matter to which God you pray/Precious time is slipping away”) took on a deeper resonance given the occasion.

Now in his late sixties, it's clear Morrison has fallen in love with his home country all over again. The star has played everywhere from the Harp Bar to Dunluce Castle over the past few years.. But for sheer nostalgia and cultural significance, nothing is likely to top last night's school reunion at Orangefield.

Bob Dylan - Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power) door  morrisanddylan

  Señor, señor, do you know where we’re headin’?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
Seems like I been down this way before
Is there any truth in that, señor?

Señor, señor, do you know where she is hidin’?
How long are we gonna be ridin’?
How long must I keep my eyes glued to the door?
Will there be any comfort there, señor?

There’s a wicked wind still blowin’ on that upper deck
There’s an iron cross still hangin' down from around her neck
There’s a marchin’ band still playin’ in that vacant lot
Where she held me in her arms one time and said, “Forget me not”

Señor, señor, I can see that painted wagon
I can smell the tail of the dragon
Can’t stand the suspense anymore
Can you tell me who to contact here, señor?

Well, the last thing I remember before I stripped and kneeled
Was that trainload of fools bogged down in a magnetic field
A gypsy with a broken flag and a flashing ring
Said, “Son, this ain’t a dream no more, it’s the real thing”

Señor, señor, you know their hearts is as hard as leather
Well, give me a minute, let me get it together
I just gotta pick myself up off the floor
I’m ready when you are, señor

Señor, señor, let’s disconnect these cables
Overturn these tables
This place don’t make sense to me no more
Can you tell me what we’re waiting for, señor?

Muddy Waters, pseudoniem van McKinley Morganfield (Issaquena County (Mississippi), 4 april 1913 - Westmont (Illinois), 30 april 1983), was een Amerikaanse blueszanger, en wordt in de bluesmuziek gezien als een opvolger van zijn voorgangers Son House, Willie Brown, en Robert Johnson. In de lijst van "the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time" (de 100 beste artiesten aller tijden) van Rolling Stone staat Waters op nummer 17.

Bob Dylan - If Not For You

"If Not for You" is a song by Bob Dylan, recorded for his 1970 album New Morning. Dylan recorded the album version in August 1970, having first recorded the song in a session with George Harrison on May 1 of that year. In addition to appearing on the album in October 1970, the August recording was released as a single in Europe; the May recording remained unreleased until its inclusion on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) in 1991.

In November 1970, a month after Dylan's original had appeared, George Harrison released a version of the song on his triple album All Things Must Pass. Another well-known cover of the song was recorded by Olivia Newton-John, who had the only U.S. charting version of the song in 1971.

Eddy Boyd - Five Long Years (1965)

         From L-R . Buddy Guy,Eddy Boyd,Jimmy Lee Robinson,Freddy Below

 Edward Riley "Eddie" Boyd (November 25, 1914 – July 13, 1994) was an American blues pianist, singer and songwriter, best known for his recordings in the early 1950s, including the number one R&B chart hit "Five Long Years".



Eddy Boyd - Five Long Years door  morrisanddylan

Few postwar blues standards have retained the universal appeal of Eddie Boyd's "Five Long Years." Cut in 1951, Boyd's masterpiece has attracted faithful covers by B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Buddy Guy, and too many other bluesmen to recount here. But Boyd's discography is filled with evocative compositions, often full of after-hours ambience. (AllMusic) Praise The Blues (1967) C+B with Eddy Boyd
Unhappy with the racial discrimination faced in the United States, Boyd moved ^{to Holland} where he recorded with the Dutch band Cuby and the Blizzards. "Praise The Blues "(1967) He moved again, in 1970, to Helsinki, Finland, where he continued to perform and recorded ten blues records, the first being Praise to Helsinki (1970). He married his wife, Leila, in 1977

Mavis Staples- Nort Sea Jazz (July 9th. 2017)

     Foto Arthur

Na de blanke soul van St.Paul & The Broken Bones (prachtig optreden),was het tijd voor de zwarte soul/gospel van Mavis Staples.Stonden St Paul en zijn band in die gigantische Nile,Mavis stond in de Congo geprogrammeerd ,een goede keus ,op deze lokatie kwam haar muziek het beste tot haar recht.Het publiek lag vanaf de eerste minuut aan haar voeten,opwarmen was niet nodig,het was bloedheet in de tent!

      For What It,s worth
 
 Uiteraard veel werk van The Staples Singers ,maar ook mooie covers van o.a Buffalo Springfield ,Talking Heads,Bon Iver en The Band .Mavis Staples is een aardig eindje in de 70,heeft onlangs twee nieuwe heupen gekregen,maar gebruikt meermalen toch nog het hele podium.

                                          Dedicated

En wat een band, onder leiding van Rick Holstrom .Ik zag deze uitstekend gitarist al eerder in aktie met Ros Piazza.Hij speelde ,en nam ook albums op met  Jimmy Rogers ,Billy Boy Arnold,Booker T,Jones en RL Burnside .Samen met Stephen Hodges (drums)Jeff Turmes(bass)  en Donny Gerrard en Vicki Randle (vocals)zorgden hij voor een prachtige ingetogen begeleiding van Mavis .Natuurlijk werd het optreden besloten met The Staple Singers klassieker I,ll Take You There.Ik verliet de tent op weg naar de Amazone ,voor wat later zou blijken, ook weer een hoogtepunt zou worden.Het geweldige optreden van Van Morrison  .
