“200 Dollars, and you boys drank $300 worth of beer” In 1980, a beer cost approximately $1.50. That means that the 10 man Blues Brothers band drank 200 beers, or 20 beers per person. The Blues Brothers then proceeded to have a high speed chase immediately after. If consumed during a 6 hour set, and if Dan Akroyd’s character weighed a mere 170lbs, his BAC would have been 0.52%! It would then have taken him over 35 hours to sober up completely!

"Bob's Country Bunker" was purportedly to be in Kokomo, Indiana where I spent the 70's...... seems about right

As a musician for 45 years, I can tell you this film should be shown in music school of the performing arts. I played Bob's place many times. Beer bottles flying passed your head, bar fights and my all-time favorite was the night a bar we played got raided by the cops. One night a place caught fire and the band put it out. This movie isn't fiction.

R&B is just blues + dance music. Country is also a blues-based genre, with Western just being a geographical change from the South to the West (songs about cowboys and tumbleweeds instead of coal mines and freight trains). My point is they're all blues-based genres - country may not be as COOL as R&B, but if they knew their chops they'd know it's from the same blues family tree.

And the MORE they like what you played the MORE bottles they threw at the stage! The smaller screening was to keep the small glass shards from coming through the chicken wire! SHEESH! What's funny, is that I was the "New Guy/Drummer/Percussionist" in the band, and no one would tell my ANYTHING about this place! All they would do is laugh and say "You'll See?!" when I asked about it?! When we got there, was when I saw the Chicken Wire and Screening over the front of the stage and I IMMEDIATLY laughed and said, "OH MY GOD! It's BOB'S COUNTRY BUNKER! Then WE must be The Good Ol' Boys Blues Brothers Band!" But it was ACTUALLY a Great Night and we played there several more times and EVERY TIME we ended up getting paid even MORE then the original agreed upon amount! AND we drank beer and soda for FREE!

The band gathered there to rehearse, trashing a model home in the process. The Blues Brothers' solution was to have Duck make some homemade bombs to destroy the house outright and then Blue Lou commandeered a nearby bulldozer to roll over the wreckage so it looked like there had never been a house there.

Murray did a great job in the role. Although I think Belushi would have taken it to a new level like only he could do. It's kinda like if Farley would have been in Grown Ups instead of Kevin James. James did well but obviously it was meant for Farley.

There's so much underrated comedy in this movie!

Thats how i respond when people ask me what kind of music i listen to. I like both kinds, country and western!🤣

I've played a lot of gigs in my time, many of them country music, but I can't recall ever seeing a Hammond B3 and Leslie as the house keyboard.

I just watched the clip again. It does sound like he could've very well said Duncan. However, everything on the IMDBs and Wikipedias has Charles Napier credited as Tucker. Either way, Duncan or Tucker, what is fundamentally important here is that he was, in fact, driver of the Winnebago.

Ricky Skaggs used to always introduce band member Darrin Vincent as "Bass player and driver of the big bus". So that's a valid musical credential.

Wish we had chicken wire.Played Hatmakers Bar,Chambersburg,Pa,mid 1960's.Fight started and worked it self onto the stage .Only the go go girls escaped it. Our equipment got broken ,we got cuts and bruises.The guys that started it ran out the back right up the alley that ended at the police station .Those guys ended up buying us all new equipment.Top of the line Vox gear.

I use to play a place where the in joke was, you didn't need to bring any lights because the flashing lights from the police and ambulance would be coming through the windows all night. I'm talking full on bar brawls where every member of the family including the granny would get a punch in. Never missed a gig in five years. Still makes me smile now.

"Chicken wire" LMAO

CHICKEN WIRE? LOL that's a tip-off right there as to what the clientele is like!

Its a beautiful place BOB. :DDD

"Oh, we've got both kinds! We've got country AND western!" Even Elwood could tell right away they were at the wrong place.

I went to Guilly's in Texas when they had chicken wire. There were bottles thrown if they didn't like you. Quite a rowdy bar, I loved it.

Excellent analysis.

One of the greats,movies that is.

I think I watched this 20 times back then. Still a classic

I watched this movie as a kid. I inferred that being a musician was a dangerous job if you needed chicken wire. Plus, I saw the stuff they had to deal with in the movie. Well, I had forgotten all of that by the time I became a musician myself. I never had chicken wire at any of my gigs in and around Houston, Texas. It doesn't negate the fact that you'd better be good, or else! I have both Blues Brothers movies on DVD, I just don't watch them. I'm going to have to watch them.

And what were the Good Old Boys planning on when they show up at bar close? Certainly not to bang out a few sets.

This movie played such a big part of my youth when it probably shouldn't have. However it was the mid-80's and things were different then.

Everytime my Aunt watched us growing. We watched this. 1060 west Addison. I remember that much. “That’s Wrigley Field”.

Many thanks my dear friends the Blues brothers always kill the Covid shit and make us laugh here in Costa Mesa California are very thankful and we’re very grateful for all the laughs brilliant thank you

The Good ole' Blues Brothers Boys Band. What could go wrong ?

MATT MURPHY: So, how was Joliet? JAKE BLUES: It was horrible. Thursday nights, they'd serve a wicked pepper steak! 1:25 WOMAN: You know; we happen to serve the state's best pepper steak!

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
