Blues videos

I was shocked to see that there were no threads on blues in this forum. At least, I didn't find any. So here we go. This thread is dedicated to blues. Add anything you like, as long as it's blues or about blues. Videos, lyrics or whatever.



Ok, first one out...:


Knut Reiersrud - Is My Living in Vain





If you're adding multiple embedded videos, please spread them over separate posts if possible. There are 19 posts per page, and if everyone posts 10 videos per post, the thread would quickly become harder to navigate and slow to load. Unless you have a very good computer + a fast internet line. By splitting up the videos into multiple posts, the page will turn sooner, hopefully before there are too many videos on the page. However, I can't stop you from posting multiple videos per post, if you choose to do so. This is just an advice, which will hopefully make the thread easier to navigate after many more videos are added. Unless the thread dies out right away or after a few posts...


If embedding is disabled ("Embedding is disabled by request" is then written the Embed-box on Youtube), it will say that the video is no longer available when you try to play it in the thread. If it happens, try click the "Youtube Link" below the embed-window in the thread, to see the video on Youtube instead (unless it's really gone). On Youtube, you can also watch the videos in full screen and read the video infos.



How to embed:

To embed videos from Youtube, extract the video-id from the Youtube url and wrap yvid-tags around it. Beware, so you don't get additional "&feature=related" and stuff like that, which sometimes shows in the url at the addressbar in your browser. Instead, get the video-id from the URL-box on Youtube. Click "More info" in the video info window on Youtube to see the URL-box. The video-id is found after "v=" in the url-string.

This code:

[yvid]sTt4Ebb1e44[/yvid]

...will embed the video as seen above.


Google videos are embedded with gvid-tags. Like this:

[gvid]video-id[/gvid]

Muddy Waters... Got My Mojo Working

Thanks H. for this thread. I LOVE the BLUES. I Play the BLUES.

The late, great Robert Jr. Lockwood, the first blues master I ever met in person. The man was Robert Johnson's stepson, and he taught B.B. King guitar lessons "back in the day".

Here he is, at age 91, playing Sweet Home Chicago on a 12-string.
