I have heard there are only two existing videos of Little Walter. Has anyone found them on Youtube?

Hi Matt,


They're not on youtube yet, but it's probably only a matter of time. Both LW appearances on video are from the American Folk Blues Festival, which was televised in Europe. On one song he accompanies Hound Dog Taylor; on another Koko Taylor. Both songs are included on the DVD "American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1969 volume 3." See: http://www.amazon.com/American-Folk-Blues-Festival-1962-1969/dp/B0002KP54E/sr=1-2/qid=1159317026/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-2503828-5826354?ie=UTF8&s=dvd Unfortunately Walter does none of his own songs on these DVDs, and his playing is strictly accompaniment -- played into a vocal mic with no amp nor effects.

LW also appeared on the British TV show 'Ready, Steady, Go" in Sept of 1964 lip-synching "My Babe," but no copies have yet turned up. He also is said to have performed on "Beat Room" on Oct 26 '64 (another UK TV show) but again, no footage has turned up yet. Perhaps one day it will...

cheers and beers,
