listening to Jimmy Reed while having your morning coffee is a great way to start your day

I saw Jimmy and Eddie in Berkeley one month before Jimmy passed. They were great together. Jimmy talked to me at length and played my request "Honest I Do" after the break. He told me to be sure to come up to him again at the next gig so he would remember me. The sweetest man ever and then he was gone. My heart was broken.

I have been a Jimmy Reed fan since 1959 and I had no idea that this footage existed. Thank you for sharing.

It is so rare to find a decent video of this legend Jimmy Reed

[hilmarwensorra]

A REAL blues legend - period. (1925 - 1976 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).

Jimmy sings this from the heart. Germany has always been a home for Bluesmen like Champion Jack Dupree, Louisiana Red and many others. The Germans are genuine and loving people.

Jimmy is Jimmy ! His sound will be forever young !

I knew Jimmy well. A kindly man, he said he had trouble with epeliptic fits. Mama (his wife) often used to sing along…. check out his huge hit “Baby What You Want Me To Do”

I thank Dylan for my enjoyment and appreciation of Jimmy Reed. Through both his songs and his new book. “Goodbye, Jimmy Reed, Jimmy Reed indeed/ give me that old time religion, it’s just what I need.”

hearing the German guy say Mississippi was quite the experience

I remember when my dad went to go and see him in the show. Forty seventh and king dr. My dad like it went crazy over this song

[brettbrandstatt]

This is so beautiful. I had no idea that footage like this existed

Ah, Jimmy Reed! One of the nicest men in blues music! Sure, he may have had a drinking problem - but he also struggled with epilepsy. Anyway, I'd still take a drunk Jimmy Reed over... say, a sober Ted Nugent!!

[dantean]

Insane camera direction has them cutting to what he's doing with his hands for little more than a split second at a time before IMMEDIATELY returning to his face, insuring we don't get to see his guitar work. Well done, whoever you were!
On the plus side: GOD BLESS LIVE FOOTAGE OF EDDIE TAYLOR NO MATTER HOW MOTTLED!!!

Thank You JR for enriching my life with your music!
PS: no one & I mean no one turns around like you ( if your a musician you’ll know what I’m talking about)

One of the very few films of Jimmy performing RUINED by those flashing lights behind him..
