This is a rare one, or certainly one I’d not seen before. Memphis Slim introducing the show and the backing band back on the 22nd October 1963 in Manchester as part of the American Folk Blues Festival. It was filmed in Studio 6 for the ’I Hear the Blues’ Granada TV 40 minute special. There’s other clips from this such as Lonnie Johnson’s section that have been released on DVD but much of this old TV special seems to be sourced from one VHS tape. If anyone has the old black and white copy in better quality let me know and I’ll have a crack colourising this again. Imagine seeing these shows back in the day! I don’t make anything colourising and putting these videos together so please support the channel with the link here if you can its greatly appreciated! Memphis Slim: Vocals, Piano Matt ’Guitar’ Murphy: Lead Guitar Willie Dixon: Vocals, Upright Bass Bill Stepney: Drums Also on that tour were: Victoria Spivey: Vocals, Ukulele, Piano Otis Spann: Vocals, Piano Sonny Boy Williamson: Vocals, Harmonica Muddy Waters: Vocals, Guitar Big Joe Williams: Vocals, Guitar Lonnie Johnson: Vocals, Guitar From late September to early November 1963 the tour worked its way through Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark and England. If any videos get blocked I tend to post them on my other social media platforms, so have a look if you don’t want to miss anything!
