I've seen Elvin Bishop at least a dozen times........ and the one thing you can always count on is that you feel better when you leave the show than when you came in......guaranteed!

I could listen to this every day.

Elvin Bishop is one of the very few people I'd leave the comfort of home for and drive 2 hours round trip to see. World Class Show.

Elvin is the one you least suspect to bring the funk but is usually the funkiest cat in the room. 💥

Elvin Bishop is a fantastic, blues guitar 🎸 player extraordinaire!!!

Saw Elvin with Heart and Tommy Bolin right before he died on Nov 5, 1976, at Winterland. One of my greatest concerts to see. Elvin put on a show you would not soon forget. ---MO

Elvin Bishop, the greatest blues singer/guitarist alive! His live performances are always uniques.

I was 14, hit of sugar cube, half pint of Southern Comfort, with all my friends, we saw Elvin opened for ZZ TOP, Tejas ,tour..AWESOME! I saw him again in the early 80s, no acid, still amazing..LOL! this is a great video, I will like it..

Fantastic Trombone Solo... hardly ever hear this anywhere today. Keyboardist was jammin... love Elvin... one of my faves!!!

Very very nice! Loved Elvin since the early 70's

El came into Brassy's nightclub cocoa beach fl.one night in the 90's a bit late and on crutches. I said, nope no show tonight... well I'm tellin' you he played his ass off sitting in a metal folding chair. Talk about go break a leg, dedication and all that.. Man that cat played no stint, no holdin' back long and hard. What a performer!

First saw him with the Butter band in the latter sixties. Then in the eighties in San Antonio. Now in videos only. Elvin has given me much joy throughout the years. Sure wish I'd see him live one more time.

How is the audience not on their feet? Wooooooooooooh!!!!!! When your backing band is THAT good, you CAN'T not feel it!

Elvin Bishop has always reminded me of Harpo Marx. Love both of em.

I saw Elvin and his band at a small town alley festival, it was one of the best live performances I ve ever seen.

I wish the credits were posted. This band is tight as hell.

First heard of Elvin Bishop Band when they opened up for the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East 1971 been a fan ever since

Sure miss Daddy Reynaldo Arvizu. Rock'n my Soul for 40 years. Thanks Elvin

Back when Music was Music!

Excellent. I only wish there were more early vids of Elvin where he was kicking with the Chicago style bands. His playing is so authentic.

pure funk, unbelievable talent here

Saw Elvin in 2016. He made a rare tour stop in the northeast. Great great show. Sat 2nd row center stage. Only downer was we were nearly killed in a head on on the way home. We survived and recovered though. First time I saw him was at the Music Inn in Lenox MA way back in 1974. He was touring the Let It Flow album. He opened for the Marshall Tucker Band. Both bands got on stage and jammed together for a long time. It was wild.

His favorite late night place to jam after hours was Wumper's Old Man GrantSt, San Francisco. Walked in the door and knew I'd come to the right place!

El Patio ...State LIne Idaho Elvin was great many years ago but always a class act

"party till the cows come home" Elvin!

straight outta Marin , by way of Chicago and Tulsa! Gracias!

Daddy Ray ARVIZU on sax. God bless Daddy Ray

About whoever Wavygr is and his/her statement about Elvin's looks and that "he would never make it today because of his looks", I've got news for you. Elvin Bishop has already made it - looks or no looks. Elvin was rockin' with the best of them when most of the rest of us were in diapers, and he still is. Rock-on Elvin. All those other jealous jerks out ther can kiss Elvin's ass!

ONE OF HIS VERY BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE -- WATERMELONS,PLUS MANY CREDITS GOES TO HIS TEAM MEMBERS FOR EXCELLENT HARMONIZATION - 19.01.1969 REMEMBERS BISHOPS LEGACY....ROCKS! WITH BEST REGARDS FROM ,BRONX,QUEENS,LONG ISLAND N.Y. AND HAMBURG,GERMANY -- ;-)

Dude is Bad! Saw him in Lincold Montana'79 best concert ever!

the horns on this are killer!

Baddest boogie guitar on the planet. Elvin layin' it down.

Never saw this recording until today! Love it! I knew he was good but forgot about him and the band for too long! One of the best concerts I've ever seen ... in a bar ... in Lubbock, Texas! It was great! That's living!

For the edification of those who don’t want to wait until the closing credits but still want to know what songs were played by Elvin Bishop and his fine band, here they are: STEALIN’ WATERMELONS HONEST I DO BEER DRINKIN’ WOMAN WALK RIGHT IN (sung by Daddy Ray) L-BO FANNIE MAE This gig was aired in 1991 on Japanese television, and the viewers there were introduced to a bouillabaisse of blues, rock and roll, country, and even a little bit of jazz. In other words, Elvin Bishop music.

Melhor música do planeta terra. insignificância tá Amil ♥️

Bottom Line was THE BOMB! Saw too many great shows there.

Now this is the STUFF!! Thanks for sharing!! *-)

The best Elvin Bishop video I've ever seen!

The show was remarkable!

This band is fabulous!!

Pigboy still jumps, his axe is sharp as ever

What a great lively concert - these boys were fun to watch cause they love what they do. The sax player really gets after it & so good! Thanks for uploading this rare find and sharing it with us here - good to see Elvin alive and well

Last time I saw The Elvin Bishop Group was at the Fillmore East in March 1971. Great Show!!! Jo Baker was singing with Elvin and the background vocals were The Pointer Sisters. The Bill was shared with Johnny Winter And. The Allman Bros were the headliners. Elvin was supposed to do a whole set with the Allmans but there was a bomb scare and "we" all had to leave the auditorium. When we came back in and got seated Elvin came out and explained that Johnny Winter demanded to go on so Elvin called out Duane and Dickey and the three of them jammed some blues. A truly memorable show. Too bad Johnny Winter acted like such an asshole. The Allmans played till the sun came up. I went home wishing Elvin's Show hadn't been shortened. I had the pleasure of seeing Paul Butterfield at the Fillmore East so Elvin was no stranger to me.

Everyone of these guys is on fire!

I like that keyboard player alright. I like this band combo!

Very talented

Great, thanks for sharing!

Never really focused on them - but now that you mention it - Agreed - Awesome

I could see me there dancing and moving.. :)

I love how the audience is really enjoying the session by my cuz Big Daddy Ray!

great!

Ed Early!!

I'd love to know the approximate date on this. Only (almost) once saw the Elvin Bishop Band live. In 1983, I was staying overnight with friends in the village. Walked over to the Lone Star Cafe. Bishop's band was laying it down, but I was broke. Stood outside the fire door in the winter cold for at least an hour, loving every minute. This incarnation of his lineup sounds most like the band I heard that night. So funky!

E B at his greatest!!

Always good

I am a Gibson man and love yours! Wish I had your chops. Keep on keeping fellow Okie. Love your stuff. Wish you and JJ would've collaborated.

Old Red Dog

Elvin Bishop @ The Bottom Line in New York City "Stealin' Watermelons" Full Show

Awesome trombone solo

Great live concert - I loved that opening number, "Stealing Watermelons" - anybody know who that saxophone player is? He really cooks

Piggyboy Crabshaw, sounds like the live performances are from Juke joint jump and maybe let it flow time period. Peace

Sound quality/volume low. Somehow I can't get it loud enough on my PC!

Funk it!...

Name of the song at 21:00 please ?

Granny's bathwater

easy money... ha ha ha.

Elvin was just ALMOST as good as Stevie Ray,. but not quite.

Like his comedy but the horns ruins his songs.

Prime, Grade A, ELVIN BISHOP! Fuck Yea!
