Bo Diddley - Please Mr. Engineer

I never heard this before. This is great!

HOTTT!!!

Just go with the rhythm...

Smoking Bo

This is a really good song (inside joke to a great friend). The stereo separation is really nice too; the guitar is hard right, the vocals hard left.

More Cow Bell???

This is a great and fun song

I never heard this one before either. Ride that fuckin' train!

!

That train whistlin sound is so great. Bo did that way before guitar effects were common.

Great footage, just great!

This is amazing good brilliant.

Terrific bit of drumming.great song,thanx for loading

This is the type of genius that you can dance to :p

Listening to this, it occurs to me that James Brown's deep funk grooves came from earlier traditions that probably predate this. This is just the earliest example of it I'm aware of yet. Bo is "Doin' it to Death!

Great!

This song reminds us that the day will come when History settles on who are the greatest musicians ever
(even if it takes generations). And so Bo Diddley will never be forgotten

Bo is de king!...pre Funk-Rap-Hip hop

His great guitar player & singer

I love the way Bo speaks here and interviews etc... Being from the south it is comfortingly familiar.

This is years before bob dylan started playing long repetitive pop songs. Also the distortionis really ahead of its time.

Listen to 'Say Man'

Awesome find.

Seen Bo Diddley four times have around 25 of his albums but I never heard this one before

love it....

oh my god....awesome

saw bo in peckferton castle in 91,went on my scooter,fucking legend

Who taught you how to drive a train!

well ,hello now BOOOAAAAY

Saw BO many times down the Burgth. always put on a great show. R.I.P.

Dustbin Diddley, Maracas mayhem

11 people got kicked off the train.

BO was a great, innovative musician, composer, song writer, performer who also had an amazing sense of humor. I grew up idolizing Bo, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Huey Piano Smith, Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Experimental track is right. Big and long at 5 mins. Total success. Story & beat build up wonderfully. A pity Bo lacked the fan base to do more like this.

Fabulous! I have followed Bo's music since first hearing it as part of the first wave of the British Blues Explosion in 1963/64 and I have never heard this track. Thanks so much!

"the hello dare "sounds a little racist .jk

The video doesn't match up, but it's amazing to see the moments when Bo let's his legs go!

ALL BOARD

One eye 0n Da Rail. One EYE IN DASKY

Rock on

Was für eine Beinakrobatik, fast noch besser als Elvis ;-))

Love the videos you paired with this. Thanks.

pre-rap, pedal effect and hard drum... the master of masters, Bo Diddley...

Does this sound like dubbing, over dubbing, and not by Bo either to any of you?

Bo had the first rap hit ever SAY MAN check it out

I said HELLO DERE!

Proto punk from 1961. The guitar sounds like later on 'fuzzbox' from various 'grunge' bands
