jonsparrow: Man are you so F......lazy you can't google Little Walter and have to get others to do that for you.

No wonder you got all the posts on this site.

May be the site should be remamed with you on the titles as well.

some people arent as savvy with their computers as others regardless of how long they've had em... i think if someone would spend that energy on learning the harmonica instead of replying only to flame the OP, theyd probably be happier and better for it. Now....sorry sparrow, i could only find references to those vids listed above, and I KNOW HOW TO USE GOOGLE...

Took me 3 seconds on yahoo, keywords "little walter koko tailer" and I got "1967" and I aint that savvy. I also got a link to Amazon "The American Folk Blues Festivals DVD) that includes the performance... go for it guys!

You could only find references to those videos, because the clips from the American Folk blues Festival tours of Europe are, I believe, the only known video of Walter. I think there is a third clip from the this series somewhere...

Well by that time he was ravaged by drink and the hard life in general, so yes he's not at his best.

But it's still interesting to see him play. Just a shame it was using an amp. Now that would have been great.

Past his best?

Personally I think it's a huge epiphany that answered MANY questions I have pondered over in regards to his playing. I've lost sleep trying to figure out half that shit and the videos helped immensely.

There's so much one can learn about the blues harp playing by just actually listening to these videos of him.

Most of the time you don't know what the hell he's doing because of his insanely overdriven amp setup. Hearing him on acoustic and seeing how he does it is amazing.

The story goes that LW was unhappy when he had to play in front of a regular mic stand and share the mic with a band member . This way he could not cup the mic and that seriously affected his performance..... not because he couldn't play away from the mic, but because he didn't WANT to play away from the mic. This is what occasionally happened (sharing a mic) when he toured in Europe in the sixties, including the video above....
(don't ask me where I read it, cause I don't remember, sorry)

I'm not sure sopwith really understands internet forums...

Anyway, nice videos, thanks for posting. I wondered about the mic stand too.

I don't wanna sound funny, but I just typed little walter into google and clicked on Videos.

From what I can see at a quick glance, there's quite a bit of stuff there, including a little - excuse the pun - documentary with interviews and stuff.

Yeah, but no video of Walter playing live other than these videos mentioned here. Most are just still publicity photos superimposed over studio recordings.

"Most are just still publicity photos superimposed over studio recordings. "
