Howlin' Wolf - mesmerizing live performance, 1964

[klook]

Here's the great Howlin' Wolf in concert in London, performing "Smokestack Lightnin'" and "Don't Laugh At Me":

That's the legendary Willie Dixon on bass and the dynamic Hubert Sumlin on lead guitar. I'm not sure, but I think the drummer is probably Sam Lay, who played with Wolf at the time. Maybe somebody else has that information.

a Chicago fan born here too late but when I would hear his voice when young it was so hypnotic and something live like this a welcome treasure on a lazy Saturday afternoon
I did see Hubert Sumlin late in his life
Lucky for that amazing performance

3. Fantastic.

I actually got to see Howlin’ Wolf and Willie Dixon live in the early ’70s. Wolf was winding down some by that time, but it was still a “pinch me, is this real?” Kind of experience. Mind blown.
