The title says it all, I guess. There's a new boxset released for John Lee Hooker's 100th birthday. Here's the link and a couple of videos of this great musician.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Saw him on one of his later tours, circa 1991. He sat in a chair, but he still sounded great, was a privilege just to be in the same room as this man.

I had the privilege of seeing Hooker & Heat in LA in 1978. A live album
of the show was released. Opening act was the Chambers Bros.

Oh really?! That's great! I haven't heard the album yet but did read about it. The Hooker'n'Heat studio album is fantastic imo. How was the show in person?

John Lee was awesome. He sat in a chair and played/sung with passion! Sadly, this was post Alan Wilson. The Bear was in fine form vocally and wailed on the blues harp.
The Chambers Brothers did a great rendition of “Time”.
My brother and I had great seats; 7th row center.

"Time" the song of Dennis'?
I believe that the talent of John Lee Hooker is much under appreciated. The man was a giant.
It seems that the teamed up at Carnegie Hall in 1971 as well. This was news to me:

Time was a big hit in the US. 1969? The 11 minute epic version, written by the band, was edited down to a single. They did the extended version when I saw them.
The single:

Thanks. I didn't know that song or even the Chamber Brothers, so I was surprised that someone would cover Dennis' "Time". But now it's clear.

I imagine there a quite a few songs named “Time”.
Two more of my favorites - Pink Floyd

and The Alan Parsons Project
