The Stones, especially Keith Richards, deserve a lot of credit for keeping blues alive in America. They really embraced Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Bo, Howlin' Wolf and many more and gave their careers new life. Back in the 60's, the Stones were one of the bands that inspired me to go deeper into the blues and learn more about it. Thanks, guys.

Smokin hot.

55yo white guy and my ALL TIME fav is Diddley. JLHooker, BB, Muddy, Howlin',Lil' Richard,Chuck, CCR, ZZ, Stones, Thorogood, and ACDC can all take a seat. Bo Diddley is playin'.

Damn, Bo is rockin'! Look at that leg kick! Go, Bo Diddley, go!

Bo knows how to play Bo. He is the KING of Rock 'n' Roll. The Bo Diddley Beat is one of the great driving rhythms of rock and roll. "Just 22 and I don't mind dyin' "

Certified OG badass

I was there!

Bo must take bin delighted to be so honoured.

this music always stirs something in my soul,roll over beethoven indeed,god bless you Bo a true giant of rock n roll.....................

Shook his hand and talked to him on News Years eve 2002. Bo knows!!!

brilliant

Thanks for uploading this little gem, the inimitable *Mick Jagger* and the legendary *Bo Diddley.* In a perfect world they would have given us two versions, one with Mick doing lead vocals and one with Bo doing the honors.

Stones take care of the hands that feed them

Thanks for posting this! I was at this concert, it was amazing!

nice!!

@diegoelbostero25 Yep, he's an old rooster in the henhouse …

Worth the watch to see Keith and no playing guitar.

••❥....••❥....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

Steve; Meet my friend, Mr. Subliminal messaging!

Way to short, this should have rolled on an' on...Hope the Stones paid Bo a few grants for this gig ... After all they learned from him

What kind of guitar is Bo using?

One classic black and white video clip from the ’50s shows you on the right, and Jerome Green is on the left with his maracas; I think you’re singing “Bo Diddley.” That looks like a Harmony Stratotone you’re playing. That’s a Gretsch Jet Firebird. I liked the color of that guitar, its shape, and the neck. I used to have a Harmony, but I don’t remember ever playing it onstage. Not long after that, Gretsch built that square guitar for me, and they ended up building three or four different styles I designed. Of the guitars you’ve designed over the years, which style came first? The square guitar. I made one when I was a teenager; its pickup was the part of a Victrola record player where the needle went in. I clamped it to the metal tailpiece to pick up the vibrations. I wasn’t able to buy electric guitars back then, so I built them, and they worked pretty good. Somebody stole the square guitar I built, but in 1958 Gretsch made me one with DeArmond pickups. They only made one authorized square guitar, but I’ve seen other unauthorized models out there. I’m not sure how that happened; maybe it had something to do with the times when the Gretsch company was closed up. I thought my manager had copyrighted all my designs, but that wasn’t the case. One teardrop-style I designed looked a lot like an Ovation model that came out a while back. Then there’s the style your fans call the “Cadillac” guitar; you called it the “Jupiter Thunderbird.” Gretsch made two of those for me, and then about 15 years ago, Tom Holmes, from Tennessee, made some. He’s a fantastic builder, and he makes fantastic pickups, too. I’m still designing instruments. I designed one called the “Drumstick;” I built one for my daughter, and I have two here. You play it like a drum, and I’m looking at trying to get it on the market. There are times when I get tired of listening to the same old instrument sounds, and what I’ve been designing sounds different. I’m still coming up with ideas. When you quit thinking, it’s all over! The square guitar you’ve been seen with recently has an “Unleaded Fuel Only” sticker and humbucking pickups. That was made by Kid Guitars, in Japan. I have another square guitar that was built by Roadrunner Guitars in France; it’s a beautiful instrument. Do you primarily use the square guitars at concerts these days? Sometimes I’ll take something else out there, just to freak people out (chuckles). Somebody in the audiences will ask where the square guitar is, and sometimes I feel like saying “What did you come here to see, the guitar or me?”

Bo Diddley's on fire, but I have to say, after watching a clip of Ron Wood playing with him in 1988, Keith`s lead breaks sound embarrassingly bad.

sorry fellows but..the way the doors played it is way better than the stones' one.

Just differents styles.

That's okay, the rest of the Stones music makes the Doors sound like an Emo garage band.

The Doors a garage band? Open your ears, Ray Manzareck and Bobby Krieger are both greats and fine musicians.
