Later... with Jools Holland---WOW

[Abe]

I just watched the best hour of television I may have ever seen. Later... with Jools Holland, watch this show. The episode I just saw will be on again on Palladia sunday morning at 10am. Norah Jones, Alabama Shakes (check this band out), Jack White, The Cheiftains, The Secret Sisters, Carolina Chocolate Drops, and Grimes. There wasn't a bad minute in the hour.

Goes way back and is far better than anything you'll see in North America These days

it's amazing that show has stayed 'under the radar'. i've been addicted for years. fwiw, the previous show was no slouch either-- Sir Paul, Elvis, Black Keys among others.

I've only seen a bit, but lot's of great stuff. We used to have Sanborn's show, which was similar.

It is a great show. Some wonderful music being made there, and all done live.

I saw Alabama Shakes a the Newport Folk Fest this year. I kinda felt like I was listening to Janis and Big Brother. She's got some lungs! Good band. Tight, nice groove. Good show.

Jools keeps it moving. Loved his work with Squeeze too.
It's a nice format Ilove that it's really live.
Not to start a riot -what'd you guys think about McCartney last week?

I've never heard anybody sound bad on Later, even bands I don't necessarily like. He's like the anti-SNL.

 

[buddyboy69]

one of the best music shows out there.

Fantastic show, a real showcase of everything that is right with the music world today. Glad it's on again! I DVRed last night to, but I sat and watched it. Fantastic show and the was a great episode ... totally agree.

Been watching this for some time, great show. Jools sits in with some acts on piano, plays mean blues and stride. My favourite was Jeff Beck playing "Drown in my own tears" with a big band.

Jools holland is a fantastic show. The peformances and the bands they invite is a plus for me.

I had forgotten about it Sanborns show until recently.
Definitely a classic as well

I was just watching the one with Paul McCartney. Then they pan over and Elvis Costello is set waiting to go, then the The Black Keys, then Neil Diamond - all set up in a circle. And Alic Cooper is in the audience watching. Talk about a lineup.

Jools is a kick arse host and a great keyboardist. Alabama Shakes was awesome and so was pretty much the rest of the show.

I was very pleased the songs he played were all from the Wings era with Denny. I think they are deserving of more attention and sound good nearly 40 years on.

Here's a link to an informative article about Later from the British broadsheet the Guardian on the eve of the 41st series.

Good point! Great song choices.
I was a little underwhelmed with something about the performance, but dang that's a great band.

Absolutely amazing. Maybe best pure music show ever on tv in my opinion.

PS: could Norah Jones be any more awesome and stunning!? Really fantastic and Alabama Shakes were amazing. Jack White excellent too, even if he had some tuning issues. Def LedZep influence. Great show!!
