"Pete Special and Elwood have been pals since they first met

in Chicago during the shooting of THE BLUES BROTHERS movie.

Pete was recorded live, exclusively for the Radio Hour,

at a recent performance for Levon Helm’s legendary

concert series, the Midnight Ramble.

You will hear some of that (the entire concert can be heard

right here through the miracle of the Internet).

Also, tunes from his CD, BLUE TELEPHONE,

(available through Pete’s website petespecialmusic.com),

from his big band soul revue Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows, 

and The Band (Pete has played with them as well).

Plus some Howlin’ Wolf for you, and new music from

harmonica maestro R.J. Mischo".House of Blues Sneak Preview PETE SPECIAL March 20, 21, 2010Click on this pic for ALL the info you need

A Big Twist Tribute by Pete Special, in Chicago.

Pete Special solos in a tribute to his former band Leader Big Twist. Pete was a member of Big Twist & The Mellow Fellows.  “Hold On”   was one of  the songs they played oh so many moons ago at my college. For a private Catholic college it was such a treat to have the wild & crazy Larry “Big Twist” Nolan & all of those Mellow Fellows, including Mr. Pete Special (who had a sort of afro himself back then!!) play for us.

It was LIVE & it was great let me tell you. In this video it is just part of the song but you will get the gist of what he’s saying. Back then I didn’t have a camera like this one that TAKES VIDEO. This quick song tribute is on a stage with no spots & is dimly lit but the song & the music from Pete shine right on through! Just like it did back in the old days.
