Extended John Lee Hooker 'Boom Boom' from the movie Blues Brothers
In the theatrical version, John Lee Hooker's scene is nothing more than an cameo. When the extended cut of the Blues Brothers came out, this scene ends up being much longer.
In this version, there are more reaction shots from the crowd and the Blues Brothers stay and listen to most of the song here.
At the end of the song, Hooker gets into an argument with a person in the crowd. After the Aretha Franklin 'Think' number, you can still hear them arguing in the background! (It won't make sense in the Theatrical version.)
You can clearly tell these guys are really playing this song on the set.

I know this is an old post, but we just saw Blues Brothers - on DVD - in a theatre and were waiting for this, our favorite scene. Couldn't (and can't) understand why they cut it out, it is one of the heaviest scenes in the film! Thanks for clearing that up.
Yeah, it adds so much to the movie and actually explains why we hear "no you didn't" being yelled outside at the end of the next scene. I wish they had this in the actual theatrical version.
