Happy birthday

We drove up to Berkeley in 1965 to see Lightnin'. He played and sang mostly on guitar, sometimes piano. Around 12:30 a.m. the theater manager came on stage and tried to close the place down according to a Berkeley city statute, but Lightnin' would have none of it. He kept moving from the guitar to the piano while the manager tried to corral him and the audience whooped and hollered. What i remember is what's in this video, that he loved the music and was one with it, a deeply magnetic, genuinely soulful man.

@AnandaGarden ~ starting about 1963 Lightnin' had a 30 minute TV show Monday through Friday afternoons on a Houston TV station. He would play guitar & tell stories. When my parents gave me a guitar I tried to learn some of what Lightnin' was doing. That was very difficult because he had crazy long fingers that allowed him to easily span several frets, which I couldn't do. My beloved parents & Lightnin' are buried in the same Houston cemetery. And I will be there too.

No se inglés pero si tengo oídos y sigo la música desde la orilla del misisipi hasta haora.

One of the best musicians and entertainers...PERIOD!. Plus, he was the essence of cool.

This ain't no BS. 2007. Really low on food and cash. I got this CD "Lightnin' Hopkins sings the blues". - "And it kept me perfect company". :)

"Y'all 'scuse me for hollerin' but I'm gonna be happy." There is no one alive today that comes close to being as cool as Lightin' was. "Lode ha' moisey"

I never tire of this man's music.😇✌️

Who needs a band? That's some amazing playing.

Nobody did a blues shuffle like Lightnin did

"Its not so bad.." coolest cat ever

One of the most iconic live blues performances I've seen....Hopkins is the flip side of Hooker...One is active and one is brooding...Give Midnight lightin' his credit👍👍

Just as cool as you can get. He’s so Great” because, he’s not just singing the Blues, He lived the Blues.

That deep voice, one of a kind! Mr. Hopkins one of the best blues Kings ever!

Don't even get me started with the guitar playing

One of his eras most recorded artists ( thankfully 😁) The reason for this was, he would sign a contract with one label, then go and record an album with another! He broke all the rules, didn't give a damn. True bluesman, nothin but the blues❤️

I always get goose bumps when this man walks out on the stage

The most underrated blues voices and guitarists in the genre.

Some of the sounds Lighting Hopkins can get from an acoustic are truly amazing !

One of the BEST ever there was or ever will be!! LOVE IT!!

I heard him sing in a coffee House in 1965.

We have never had a more beautiful voice to sing the blues

All his phraseology and subtleties are so killer!

The best of all time

L Hopkins ,T " Bone" Walker and Luther Johnson .The Best de Blues

Some things and people are just cooler than hell. Would have loved to see Lighting.

A true musical genius. Wow

SRV, and J. Winter were imitators not innovator's of their own sound within the genre. Stop elevating the children before the parents.

The prototypical bluesman. Wonderful.

Here again, like I was last week. Pure genius. I wonder if the crowd knew what they were witnessing?

Beautiful...master of his art form ...things he can express in tone and control..no one else can

I was in a car park in Aldus Cardigan about two years ago playing Lightning, when this woman came running up and said play me more.what can you say!.

Lightnin Hopkins was the best BLUES PLAYERS to ever pick up a guitar 🎸 and sing the blues, he was a master, true entertainer, his music touches your soul, nobody can play like Lightnin, he was the BEST, JESUS WONT YOU COME BY HERE, MY FAVORITE BY LIGHTNIN, REST IN PEACE.

Both these songs are similar to stuff I've got on different Lightnin LP's. But he was always coming up with new words, changing things around. Like so many older blues singers and songsters. RIP Lightnin and Bo,the two coolest cats ever lived. Yes I know I keep saying that.

WHEW!!! This is the blues ya'll!! OMG, I just **cannot** for the life of me comprehend how people in the audience were able to stay seated or not shout out during the performance, LOL! Whoa, I was dancing, shouting and "bluesy head shaking" all over the place over here! Wow, this man was a true legend with unconquerable talent and skill, and I feel so blessed to be fortunate enough to see this Master at his craft! Thanks so much for the upload, GinBottleBlues! XX.
