Howlin' Wolf - Down In The Bottom (Live)

[ping-ping-clicka]

is that a firebird guitar? I love the tone of the slide guitar.

version 2 uptempo

 

[Lef T]

I got to see Howlin and Hubert in a small blues club in Vanvouver B.C.
back in the early seventies.
Had never heard of him but paid my five bucks admission.
He did two shows.
I left the club knowing who Howlin Wolf was.
As a double bonus I got to witness the mastery of Hubert Sumlin.
Pinetop might of been on piano,but my memory is foggy on that part.

 

[Mr. St. Paul]

Yes, it's a Firebird. This entire performance is fascinating. I ~think~ it took place during one of the Newport folk Festivals. At one point, Son House is in the audience, drunk, and heckling Wolf. Wolf reads him the riot act.

 

[Larry F]

I think it was done in Europe, as part of the Folk/Blues tour. I don't know if it is in this video, but Howlin Wolf really ragged on Son House, who was a few feet away and so very drunk, as always.

Was that really a Firebird?

that's very cool, I'm happy for your to see those guys playing together is a tale worth repeating.

How could anyone in the world sing blues better than this? Howlin Wolf was one of the greatest musicians of all time, in my opinion.

This is the first wolf song I heard when I was 12. It ruined my life, and I'm happy about it.

Howlin Wolf has always been my favorite bluesman. As real as it gets.
