Threw some Aretha in the there.............

John Lee Hooker & Canned Heat - Whiskey & Wimmen' [HQ]

ALL great stuff-I'm a HUGE Alvin Lee fan. I'm sure your familiar with Woodstock's greatest performance!

If you watch it all the way to the end, the scene with the watermelon shows just how spaced out he was on God knows what (it was Woodstock after all); and yet, he could still play like that!

And here's one more for your Stones/Muddy Waters fans, live from The Checkerboard Lounge in 1981:

I think that's Robert Cray & Jimmie Vaughan in there also plus I then saw Ron Wood in the audience.

Yep, Ron Wood walked up with Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter & others.....

Wow, I just watched this whole thing. In addition to the ones you mentioned, there's one of the Winter brothers towards the end, along with the members of one of the big blues bands (Tedeschi Trucks? I could be wrong).

I used to play a good bit of blues on the guitar: delta slide and Piedmont styles in particular. One of the best blues guitarists I ever saw was in a tiny but legendary music venue/hole in the wall in Spartanburg, SC back in the late 80's. He was a skinny little nobody, but he was up there with the greats we post on here-I kid you not!

And one last one for the night that just popped up on a playlist:

An absolute classic; The Who were the true original punk band IMO (though much more lyrically and compositionally-talented than the later true punks like the Pistols and others)

Yep, you could be very right on that one ScoutHikerDad. The Tedeschi Trucks band is awesome & Susan Tedeschi was real good also before they joined together. I would always listen to the Sunday Blues & still do at times on KPFT 90.1 FM on Sunday mornings beginning at 6am-4pm CST & after that is Bluegrass which I like some of because I like banjo pickin'. You can tune in via the internet to stream like most stations these days & on Blues Sunday's they have a pair of dj's, I believe are husband/wife, Mr. & Mrs. V who start it off at 6am-11am, then another guy that plays a lot, Nuri-Nuri from around 11am-2pm, then lastly the Blues Hound from 2-4pm. I think I got them right but they play a variety of blues from 6am-4pm every Sunday.

i had to get out a short time ago & heard this via my iPhone in my truck. I hit songs, then shuffle on my iTunes in my iPhone with all my cd's so that I can have a variety.

Sounds like the college radio station nearby that has been broadcasting for years: https://www.wncw.org/. They have a bluegrass show on Saturday afternoons called "Goin' Across the Mountain"; and being from the mountains, I appreciate that music. On Saturday nights they do a blues show called "Saturday Night House Party." I love little public radio stations like that!
