Lonnie Donegan - Gamblin' Man (Putting On The Donegan, 26.06.1959)

I’m on a lonnie trip and I’m having a great time.

Great energy ✌🏽🙏

I am surprised Led Zeppelin didn't try to steal that. LOL !

That intro 🎉

Who was the Drummer?

Oh wow, that energy!!!

Heard this in THE BLACKLIST SEASON 6 and it really got me, had to look it up 😅

Geeeeez. Fir the last 65 years I thought that "does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost at night" was adding by a Brit! Ha ha...it was so popular in England. Silly me.

The dude is POSESSED!

My goodness, didn't you just love Lonnie's guitar solo? He is the godfather of rock.

I love this!!!

Excellent!!16.2.2023!!!

Magnifique interprétation 👏

i didn't quite get the lyrics. Was he some kind of gamblin' man?

The day the music died. Jesus

To paraphrase Slim Pickens, He sure played the livin sh*t outta that!

Can we just take a second to admire those drums?

These dudes are definitely on uppers.

What memories !!!! BRILLIANT

99% of UK rock bands from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, led zeppelin etc were all influenced by this guy way above rock n roll cos of Lonnie being on tv shows in the 1950s. It's hard not to have a history of rock without him and skiffle in the UK. Sure in the USA it was blues then rock n roll as the influences but they came to the UK much later.

Who came here by Jimmy Page? (It Might Get Loud)?

Throbbin’ Williams over here

Sounds like the South Park theme

To think three fellas in Liverpool saw this and said "yeah i can do what he does"

Thanks for the re-upload! Classic

Talk about proto-punk! SHIT!!

The drum solo!

punk rock right there.

That guy and group ROCKED!!!! I can see where he was a huge influence on most of my favorite bands and guitarist!

I swear he looks like a mix of Robin Williams and Bono...

He gamble everything this time 😎and he win

This type of frantic workout pretty much set the stage for such like minded giants as the Tielman Brothers. In the process, it firmly reiterated Professor Donegan's place in the upper echelons of the overall scheme of things. Absolute, utter perfection.

Lonnie Donegan ....once viewed....NEVER FOTGOTTEN.Britain's BEST SHOWMAN.

There nothing better like old good songs

This dudes lungs could inflate an 18 wheeler quicker than 30 Mexicans with 1.5hp air compressors

You know, if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: He's a Gambling man.

I absolutely love this xx

Glenn Johnson Totally amazing that i remember seeing this show all those years ago so thanks for getting the transmission date up.Grew up on Lonnie`s music so a massive thanks.
