One thing I love about Blues Brothers, especially with the extended cut, is scenes like this - you’re forced to take in the atmosphere of Chicago and vibe with the music being played - it enhances the core themes and messages that the movie brings to the table. You’d never find movies nowadays where you’re allowed to stop for a moment and take in the setting and vibes, everything has to be so tightly-paced and action packed when stuff like this is just as effective. Love this movie.

Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklyn, Jonnny Lee Hooker, Chaka Khan, James Brown & the like. There wouldn't be any rock-n-roll and their bands who perform them if it wasn't for the blues and soul and gospel. What you're watching here are the pioneers of music.

I tore it down to the frame, dumped a 440 police pack in it, undercoated the frame, repainted it to a faded Mt Prospect reject, rewired everything (even shoved a 8-track in the dash) and I bought a ripped and beat up dash, steering wheel, front and rear bench seat and door panels to give it that Blues Brothers feel. When I take it for a drive, theirs only one of two things that go through my head... ♪Boom Boom Boom Boom♪ or " Pfff... Illinois Nazi's. I hate Illinois Nazi's " lol.

I grew up in Chicago in the 70's and used to go to Maxwell street (where this scene is) it was the largest and oldest open air flea market in the country, it had been there for 120 years and you could literally buy anything you needed for cents on the dollar, and Blues was EVERYWHERE on every juke box in every tavern on every corner you could hear the best music, it was really as magical as it looks here, people were friendly, it was a great time to live there. I live in L.A. now and there's no comparison, Chicago is the greatest city in the world, Bangkok is pretty freakin incredible as well as Paris but Chicago is truly amazing. Well it was when I was growing up there. When the Blues Brothers movie came out we had to sneak in to see it because it was an R film, but we did it about 14 times. And bought the album and learned every song.

The good (and great), the bad, and of course to complete the triptych, the ugly. The trichotomy of mankind.

And when my mother meet my dad. My dad took a beautiful picture of my mother holding John Lee's hands with his altigraph on it. I never meet John. But from what my mother tells me. He was alot of fun to be around. She got to meet some other blues artist like Van Morrison, BB King, Earl Hooker, and a few others that I cant remember off the top if my head.

Just got to see this movie in the theater this year for the first time ever and even though I'd seen it before on TV it was so much better on the big screen. Just made me smile.

I saw Lightnin' Hopkins open for J L Hooker here in Houston at Liberty Hall in 1980. Lightnin' was stoned drunk outta his mind, couldn't even get thru a 15 minute set...just trashed...stumbled and mumbled his way off the stage. John Lee Hooker comes on around 11PM, apologizes for LIghtnin's performance and proceeded to do about 2 hours of non-stop boogie, just him and a drummer...fantastic night.

Nothing portrays Maxwell Street better than this scene. When I was a kid my uncle use to take me to the flee markets there. This is exactly how it was before they were forced to move. As I got older I would hit Maxwell Street for the food after a long night of drinking. Best damn polish sausage in the world cooked exactly as they show it, next to a mountain of onions. Cars would pull up three deep in the street for a polish or a pork chop sandwich. I miss those days and that place.

Could have been even better. Muddy Waters was too sick to perform, so one of the sidemen - Hooker - stepped in. Boosted his career just like it did all the other featured artists.

I have not watched this film all the way. But, seeing Hooker brings me life! Nowadays, they would have cut this performance down to ten seconds with my generation’s stupid attention span. They played his performance all the way out. Respect for JLH!!! 🤍🤍🤍

The fantasy aspect of this is what makes it so good. I walk around downtown Chicago I see a homeless crazy guy pissing himself. The Blues Brothers see John Lee Hooker, Aretha, James Brown and Ray

The america we learned to ❤. Before everything changed in the 90’s with greed, big stores, big chains, and mc mansions. Sad. Still a great country, yet that Chicago is long gone. And America that is.

So fortunate to hang with him in the 70's along with Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, James Cotton, Willie Dixon, Luther Allison It was fun for sure.

A little bit "Boom Boom". a little bit "hmm hm", a quarter "how, how" and a short "heyyy hey". You never need more for a good blues, if hou have the blues like John Lee Hooker. UNFORGETABLE
