>14 tros: I used to take my hippie girlfriend to see him in the early 80s. She infused my hardcore punk sensibilities with apricot tea and Wyndham Hill granola. Even got me to sit in the mud with her to see the Dead. Twice.

Would have been this era:

son house forever on my mind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HaTj7_zX5w&list=OLAK5uy_k1IWmeohOL54bO6lc4m...

I saw Son House live in the 60's. He could barely walk out on the stage, holding his guitar and collapsed in his chair. I wondered if he was able to play, but he had a strong voice and was wailing on the guitar! One of the most amazing performances I've seen!

I've always loved this one, my favorite electric bluesman giving one of my favorite acoustic bluesmen a well-earned piece of his mind:

>19 Randy_Hierodule: Wolf was unique!

>20 tros:
I wish I could have seen him. The only one of those older guys I got to see live was Muddy Waters. Howlin' Wolf, along with Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday, and some of Nina Simone, are voices that never fail to move me.

>21 Randy_Hierodule: Lightnin and Son House were on the same show!
I saw Janis and big brother when Cheap Thrills came out!
man, what a show!

Jealous. Those were the days: I was about 4 feet tall, in a buzz cut, clip-on tie, and parochial school. All the fun shit of 10 years later (and 10 too late, alas) was demonaltry... hippies, dope, loud gee-tars... the stuff of pink suburban breeder nightmare.

Too bad you were born too late, amigo! I forgot that blues concert had Lightnin Hopkins, Son House and Bukka White! Bukka was great! That had to be the great blues experience of my life.
I got my first record player in 1960 with a few kingston trio albums. I was in heaven! ;-) I bought my first album in'61 at a local grocery store for $1(?), Lightnin Hopkins, Nothin but the Blues! I loved that album and still do, even if it's on cd. I've been a blues fan ever since.

>24 tros: I always liked the big names of the electric blues (courtesy of the British fanboys: Stones, etc.), but a band I got to see in small clubs several times in the 1980s, The Gun Club, set me on the country, acoustic blues (which I have heard some jazz jerks call "gut bucket") - parfticulary Mr. Tommy Johnson. I took a drive down south a few years back to see Memphis, Clarksdale, etc., wound up in Jean LaFitte's Old Absinthe House in New Orleans for more than a few days. Any way here is the Gun Club covering Tommy Johnson and Son House (with a bit of Robert Johnson mixed in):

Cool Drink of Water Blues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESAlnf_olRQ
Preaching the Blues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIaml5v7m6s
And an original, Mother of Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvvGM3QhtOg

Singer had bit of a blues career, as Ramblin' Jeffrey Lee, till the end of his all too authentic blues life.

>26 Randy_Hierodule: interesting, punk blues?

>27 tros: Probably as good a description as any. I can tell you the shows were like voodoo/hoodoo rituals (a slight Doorsy sacerdotal incantatory vibe): wild, loud, fierce, no frills. Pierce reportedly taught Kid Congo Powers guitar. The L.A.-based band, first known as Creeping Ritual, cross-bred and occasionally collaborated with bands such as The Cramps and The Birthday Party (both of whom dabbled, in their idiosyncratic manner, with the blues and early styles of rock n roll). Bodies packed in, milling, thrashing, many zorched on ecstasy, feet from the slightly elevated stage - dank, dimly lit and unsanitary cavelike environment - heavy scent/fog of cloves cigarettes and ancient beer spill. An intimate, occasionally infectious*, urban mystery cult stomp (at least in DC's 9:30 Club).

*(picked up a staph infection from a stumble-scrape on a sooty wall once).

Jesus McChrist - almost forgot. Their version of JC Fogerty's Run Through the Jungle:
