Regarding Shake Your Money Maker. As @DavidP mentioned, it became quite popular when recorded by Peter Green on Fleetwood’s first album in 1967, but it’s not original to him. It’s an Elmore James song, first recorded in New Orleans in Cosimo Matassa’s studio in 1961. Side note: I just got back from a trip to New Orleans and definitely visited it as well as took in a Jazz guitar show, played by Steve Masakowski. Second Side note: Peter Green had some awesome blues stuff in early Fleetwood. “Albatross,” “Black Magic Woman,” and the whole album of “They Play On”. My fav on that album is Showbiz Blue, which is in Open D, but “Oh Well” is probably the best song on the album.

My favorite version, however, was done in 1965 by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. i like this live performance because it has a better guitar solo by Mike Bloomfield and Paul shows off his harmonica chops, which he doesn’t do on the LP. They were one of the only bands of the 60s to play at Newport, Monterey, and Woodstock. Racially integrated and more Chicago blues than the Stones ever thought they were. Wish they got more recognition.

Uuh… Can’t believe, I missed this. Thunderstormy weather here, I had such a headache. So, I thought… I’ll just close my eyes for half an hour. Well, I will have to watch the recording it seems :slightly_smiling_face:

Too bad I couldn’t see everyone perform live. I’ll make sure to watch the stream asap.

But nevertheless I already wanted to congratulate all the performer for stepping up. Well done :clap::clap::clap:

Thank you Justin for putting this together, it was a great evening, tech issues notwithstanding.
An idea, in a future show, perhaps everyone might be able to play one song together, a little like ‘Playing For Change’ on YouTube. I know the logistics of such an endeavour must be horrendous, but if at all possible, it could be wonderful.
Thanks again.

It is impossible I’m afraid Mal due to out-of-sync sound.

80

Ah, that is a pity. So how do ‘Playing For Change’ do it. Recorded individually and then edited?

81

I don’t know what Playing For Change is but if it is videos of many people across the world, it must be pre-recorded.

82

I just went to go watch my own performance to see how it was and hey, turns out it replays the youtube comments too while watching! Which was pretty cool to see. Thanks for all the kudos on my original song, super cool to read those comments especially from youtube people (rather than community ones).

That is pretty cool! Also the time stamps for every performer with their location and songs choice, really nice.

‘Playing For Change’ is a collection of music videos recorded around the world, worth a look as some of the songs are really well done. The editing is, because as you say it must be pre-recorded, quite phenomenal.
Take a look, you will not be disappointed, ‘The Weight’ is one to see or ‘Jokerman’, though there are many to choose from.

Yes Jeff :joy:

O Boy Where to start … :partying_face: :exploding_head: :sunglasses: :clap: :clap: :scream: :scream: :scream: :partying_face: :man_bowing: :man_bowing: :man_bowing: :bouquet: :bouquet: :bouquet:

Yesterday I had a long story ready to blow the praise-trumpet to Brian but that went wrong somewhere between pasting and cutting in the google translate…
So I understand that something like this invites people to say not so nice things… :cry:

The performances really exceeded all expectations… this was absolutely better than all previous performances, every day we play we get a little better so it must be that :sunglasses:
(or could it be Justin/youtube-live) himself that allowed everyone to give just a little more? :thinking: :smile:)

I could type a story to everyone personally, but then it would just be a repetition of the same words…so everyone gets the same bow flowers hug and / or kiss and I thank you for your courage and commitment and the fun what you brought, :sunglasses: :smiley:
Greetings Rogier

Great show all round :wave::wave::wave:
The live stream worked well, had to break off a couple of times to do some domestic chores, but the ability to pick up where I left off was very useful.
