Marshall Tucker Band "Take The Highway"

Posted a full concert video from the newest iteration of the Marshall Tucker Band a while ago.  Well, here is that lineup, with Chris Hicks and Rick Willis on guitars, jamming on their classic hit song, "Take The Highway".  The video ends right as the drum solo starts.  But, there's plenty of the tune here to get an idea of what it's all about.  Dig it.

John Lennon, Eric Clapton, & Keith Richards "Yer Blues"

Now, here's a chestnut.  Whoever found this should be given a prize.  John Lennon, Eric Clapton, and Keith Richards playing "Yer Blues", which was written by Lennon, for The Beatles, and appears on "The White Album", which was officially named "The Beatles".

Dave Grusin & the GRP All Stars "Early A.M. Attitude"

Check out the list of names that scrolls across the screen.  At the time, in the '80s, not only were they members of Dave Grusin's band, but also, artists signed to his record label, GRP, (Grusin/Rosen Productions), that he founded with Larry Rosen.

Buddy Guy & Jeff Beck "Let Me Love You Baby"

Great rendition of one of Buddy Guy's best numbers.  He and Jeff Beck tear it up on "Let Me Love You Baby".  Wicked!

The Yellowjackets "Priscilla"

FINALLY found a video of this tune!  Took me forever.  But, here's a groove for you.  "Priscilla", by The Yellowjackets.  Of course, these guys blurred the line between fusion and "smooth jazz" in the '80s, but they're just darn cool.  This is from their self titled, 1981 debut.  Follow the link.  Dig it.

In memoriam: Bobby "Blue" Bland

Rest In Peace, Bobby "Blue" Bland.  Here he is, doing a medley of "Stormy Monday" and "Going Down Slow", with Johnnie Taylor and Bobby Rush.  Check this out.

Plus, here's another video.  Bobby, singing with B.B. King on the "Soul Train" TV show in 1975 singing, "It's My Own Fault".
