Canned Heat helped revive Blues greats like Gatemouth, John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins and several more. Hite was a Blues Aficionado as was Vestine, They searched the country side for blues albums and players. Bob had a massive record collection that would humble the best of them. I had the great fortune to catch Gate perform and during one of his shows he was on a break and just hanging out in the hallway of the college he was playing at, all by himself, so i said," what the hell i'm a fan, a harp player and blues lover, I have to talk to him!". So i just walked up to him and said hi, how's the show going tonight? Well we talked for 15 minutes and he was the most humble, supportive, and kindest person. He finally looked up at his watch and said, whoa, i have to get back on stage. He signed a poster i had pulled off the wall and said thanks for coming to the show. He played mandolin, guitar and harp that night. Such a wonderful memory in my life.

It was the critics that never gave them their due! They did as much for the blues as any of the British artists did!

I had the privilege of seeing him many times, but never knew he played harp. Once caught him playing drums, too…one of the true greats, Mr. Gate!

Saw him live in Houston. Unforgettable. Such a wonderful showman. He played every instrument and all like a maestro. An East Texas treasure. Heat must have been intimidated.

I'm from England but what a legend, rip big man 🙏

I had the honor to get to know Gate from the mid 80' till he passed. He always told me he thought music could heal and bring people together unlike anything else. He let me walk Him out on stage on his last New York gig at BB King's place and told the crowd how much He appreciated me driving from North Carolina to be with Him. I have never been so honored. He will always be The Man!!

I met Gate in Saskatchewan yeats ago. Would love to touch base with you and pick your brain on a few things I never got the chance to ask Gate about.

Poor Canned Heat. So good of them to use their fame to bring an American great to us all. Poor Gate was not used to having to actually wave off a Blues pickup band. :) But they followed despite their massive fame at that time. As good as the music is? Half of Gate's magic was in the audience's relationship. Which is not here in this video. Lord, I do miss him.

He might not be with us but he’s never forgotten.....

About 30 years ago I was in a record store and I came across a CD of Gatemouth. I had no idea who he was or what kind of music he made. I just thought I'd buy it and check it out. I'm glad I did.

They don’t exist like this talent anymore. Fucking great!

I had never seen Gatemouth play the harmonica, had only seen him play guitar and violin. Man, what a musician, a true multi-instrumentalist. I'm so impressed now!

What a band and what a talent Mr Gatemouth is 👍👍

ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST,ALL AROUND MUSICIAN WHO EVER PLAYED MUSIC ,FROM HIS SOUL.😎🎸🔊🎶☮️ BOB.RIP C GATMOUTH BROWN.

That boogie woogie reminds me of the old time church revivals we use to have, man we would feel The Hand Of God, Have Mercy Everybody!!!!

Who could not love this?

One of the greatest musicians that ever lived! I am a musician: i’ve been playing for 35 years.... CGB had more talent in his little finger than most of us other musicians had in our entire career... This crowd had no idea what they were witnessing! Stoic. Way too honey

Who can doesn't love that ? It is a perfect blues track !

Booommmmb ! my heart stops the time . Only one thing I can feel : MUSIC - REAL MUSIC . Thank you God !

Mr. Brown had a few bars to add there on the lead. Bonus dance moves as well. What an old school performer - amazing.

RIP Sweet Clarence .. we miss you baby

Сегодня ютуб благосклонный и выдает мне гениев губной гармони. Эти ребята знают своё дело !

This man can play!!!! I'd love to be playing all along with him ,our styles are so similar, friggin a let's rock!!!!

Clarence Gatemouth Brown on the harmonica, it's a pro ! And with Canned Heat, nothing to throw. Thanks ! Clarence Gatemouth Brown à l'harmonica, c'est un pro ! Et avec Canned Heat, rien à jeter. Merci !

I met Gatemouth years ago at sellersville theator, he's super talented and diverse and super fun person all smiles

1:09 its the first blues man i see him doing this kind of lead solo what a legend

“Gatemouth” was an amazing musician, he truly rocked every instrument he touched not anyone left like him now. Never got his due, not just a blues man he could play any kind of American music.

Hard not to get happy watching/hearing this!

These Musicians lacked the means but they had the most important Spirit and they played and felt what they did, they did not think about making music in order to earn money, which is what impoverishes the mind. "Long life to the Blues."

J'adore Canned Heat depuis le film Woodstock 1969 et toujours encore un de mes groupes préféré.

Great story! The man will be missed.

Cuanto talentos cómo este señor Gatemauth. Se habrán perdido ya sea por perjuicio oh falta de oportunidad...qué viva el talento..........

Dazit man, dazit. Canned Heat set the hall blazing with Gatemouth leading the sweet sensational attack. Great presentation.

I agree. One of the nicest dudes I ever met. Classy and incredibly talented. I'm unfamiliar with his demise and I don't think I want to know, I'd rather remember him as he was when I was fortunate enough to hear him play and hang out with him and his posse for awhile.

Il Blues continuerà sempre a camminare sulle gambe di chi di volta in volta lo suonerà. MV

What a musician and entertainer..That harmonica is full class and the band is fantastic..A professional doing what he does best..

I own an old Gatemouth Brown album released on the "Music Is Medicine" label & he has brought me healing over the years!

افضل فن زمان ابحث عن هذا الجيل الذهبي

I never got to play with Gatemouth Brown. But my relationship with Canned Heat goes back to 1967 when I bought the orange album, with Al Wilson. I took classmates to the Cafe Au Gogo in 1968 to hear them live, after our graduation party. After Al died my relationship was discontinued until 1974, when I was working at a masonry-supply company, and by mere coincidence one of the contractors I sometimes serviced was Al Wilson's father, a mason in Belmont, Mass. We didn't talk much about Al, because he was taking the reported suicide very hard. In 1985-6, when Henry Vestine came to Eugene Oregon where I was getting my BA at U-Oregon. When Henry wasn't away with the Heat, he was playing in my band, Church of the Blues. He was even my roommate for several months. Once I graduated, I never saw Henry again, and he died in 1997. By 2006, I had my MA from Oklahoma State, and had "graduated" from 17 years of truck driving. My band, The Workers, was booked as co-headliner with Canned Heat, which by that time contained only Fito de la Parra, the drummer, from the original Heat, at a small winery-- "Soaring Wings"-- in Springfield Nebraska. It was May 6, but the weather was so bad, everyone went home except maybe a hundred or so people inside the winery. We played, and then Canned Heat played. And finally, 39 years after I got that pivotal LP, I got to play with Canned Heat. The next day, Fito even found me a joint! Only de la Parra, whose book chronicles the life of Canned Heat, survives today. I'm Watermelon Slim, and you can get my CDs and DVDs at www.watermelonslim- dot-com.

Um blues magnifico! One magnific blues. Noger's 65 years old. Noger's 65 anos. MG - BRAZIL.

Maestros del boogie-woogie, diplimados en blues, con una electrificación espectacular, una banda de referencia Gracias por su visión de la música negra

I saw Gatemouth a couple of times in my fiddle days. Love Larry Taylor.

2019 aug still jamming to this great music no color no bs no bad words just plain ol soul.playimg from.the heart love it thank u

Never heard of him? Wow what a talent! Have to look him up and put on list

I love the tone from that lead guitar! Killer!

Wow he owns that stage and wakes us from our slumber ....wonderful and so talented !

West Louisiana and East Texas combination, right there. God dam me, that man knows the blues

Gatemouth used to play at the Golden Slipper in Durango, Colorado, in 1971 - 1972. He wore a cowboy hat and also played the fiddle.

i was ten feet from Canned Heat in 1978... great show

I saw Gatemouth at the Howard Street Tavern in Omaha in 1977. He was probably themost outstanding musician I have ever seen.

simply beautiful

Absolutely the greats in times of when rythm was harmonious , the sounds of harmonicas had brought the songs with togetherness and put happy feet on each of us , gave us the Boogie . Loved this video Had the privilege of meeting the Bear , Canned heat, in concert Prince George Canada 1978 The incredible and wonderful Gate Mouth , ladys and Gentleman. Now let's get back to the Boogie. Get it on!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶 🎹 🎸 🎷🎤 🥁

A very talented performer on many instruments.

What an improvisation, this wouldn't happen on pop T.V.! Great stuff, bring this back!

wow, how totally uplifting! I would dance to this everyday!

I played this video for my precious grand boys other day, 3 yrs old & 1 & half, and 3 yr old started shaking it & boogie down just like Clarence is getting down... Then the baby started to act like he was playin the harmonica and stomping his lil foot to every beat... I WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZED AT HOW MUCH THEY LOVED THE MUSIC!!! so now I'm gonna go n get both of them instruments this weekend so they can play whenever they want to at Memaws house.

RIP Gate. Got to see you twice. Stunned both times at your versatility. Thanks.

I guarantee you ruffed the feathers of more than a few Canned Heat faithful. There are legions of us. They are way more than a "white" backing band. Don't forget to boogie. old guy

What great performers The music of today doesn’t hold a candle to the old stuff

And he's enjoying this! excellent performance
