(Joe Cocker) Look out baby, I'm in a dangerous mood Look out, baby, I'm in a dangerous mood I done called up the boss man Told him where to go and just what to do

(Joe Cocker) I parked the car down the street and I unplugged the phone So it would look just like ain't nobody home
(B.B. King) I put a rose on your pillow where you lay your pretty head I'm gonna rub your tired shoulders, bring your dinner to the bed
(Joe Cocker) Look out, baby, this man's in a dangerous mood I had to steal a little time, baby So I could spend it all on you, talk to me

(B.B. King) I'm gonna light a candle, put champagne on ice If one time ain't enough, well, we'll just have to do it twice
(Joe Cocker) I done made myself a will, called my next to kin 'Cause I'm gonna love you over and over and again and again
Look out, baby, I'm in a dangerous mood I had to steal little time, girl So I could spend it all on you
(B.B. King) Look out, baby, I'm in a dangerous mood
(Joe Cocker) You know it Look out, baby, I'm in a dangerous mood I got this one last paycheck, baby And I'm gonna spend every dime on you, oh yeah
Ok, thanks for the info—good to know—shows how much I can recognize guitars.... So like I was saying...wouldn't you LOVE to be the guy playing BASS with him?? I don't know if I could concentrate on what I was doing..I'd sort of stop and stare at Stevie and go....
That would be Tommy Shannon, on bass. They were a three man band until Reese Wynans joined them on keyboards.
There's a reason why Reese joined the band. The guy had crazy fingers. He was a great complement to Stevie.

Most definitely. Wow, bokes, thanks for posting—I thoroughly enjoyed that one. I love watching his face while he plays—-so blissed out and in that "zone." He makes it look so frickin easy, doesn't he? I can't believe he can let go and just play with his left hand—since all I've ever played is acoustic, I'm trying to think of how that's even possible! And wouldn't you love to be the guy playing rhythm guitar with him?
WOW.
He didn't play with a rhythm guitarist, but I get your point.
He does a couple excellent versions of Voodoo Chile also.He and Hendrix were definitely from the same planet.

Quote: Prematurely taken from this world, Magic Sam may have had the talent to become the greatest exponent of West Side Blues, perhaps even eclipsing both Otis Rush and Buddy Guy. We will never know, yet more than 30 years following his death, the music of Magic Sam still remains vital and alive to this day.
Freddie King's Boogie Funk, based on Magic Sam's Boogie. Freddie King played some time in Magic Sam's band. Both died of a heart attack (age 42 and 32) and didn't live long enough to know how influential they would become. I read that Freddie King played about 300 gigs a year, until his death.
Tremendous version of Going Down (5:20), as well, BTW. No mistake about it, not even in this poor sound quality.
I heard a superb recording of this on XM's "Bluesville" on the way home tonight....I don't think this is quite the one, but close. I absolutely loved the reverb on the guitar as it sings out its little riffs, and the wandering bassline in other parts....and it was very, very crisp.
Buzz, I hope you'll post some pics of the blues gods!
