Grateful Dead, "New Speed Boogie" or "New Speedway Boogie") live during the Festival Express "train tour" summer of 1970, with some bands touring on a train going to some cities in Canada instead of a big festival with people moving, the band moving to their cities

I have the documentary (2 DVD set) is funny as they all were driving that train, high on cocaine and many other drugs and booze

A wonderful rabbit hole to have fallen down into...

And I won't attempt to distinguish between boogie and boogie woogie
and where each overlap with swing beats early on and rock beats later.
Except to agree that the disco-era use of the word is not part of this
tradition

Tons of material, but I'm only going to post what seem like gold
nuggets to me. Except for these next two which, while certainly
having merit on their own, are posted here for a different reason

I just watched a 1-hour Brit doco (attached below in 4 parts)

1) Its gonna save me a lot of posting, because of the many great artists
and clips included, which you can find on youtube

2) So it now seems to me: a) boogie woogie is the piano-centric form
that originated in the 1890s, while b) boogie is the guitar-centric form
that originated when blues guitarists began to imitate, as best they could,
the wildly popular piano form.

3) It might be as simple as this: If your honky-tonk or speakeasy or
juke joint could afford a piano, you got boogie woogie. If not, you
got a boogie guitarist. Either way your customers got up and danced

4) Not that the two genre-names havent been used confusingly
and interchangeably throughout the past (and no doubt into the
future). Same as rock and rock'n'roll, which I distinguish
between, but many (most?) do not.

5) Thinking about it some more, I don't think its too far off the mark
to say (even if its an oversimplification): when, in the course of
human events, these musicians got together in small groups
and married up boogie woogie piano with boogie guitar,
what they ended up with was what would come to be
known as rock'n'roll

6) Part 4 below features Charlie Watts (as a player, not a speaker)
as a member of the "south bank boogie band". I don't know the timeline,
but I'm guessing that this one-time-only band led directly into the
"A, B, C, D of Boogie Woogie" band

1) When it comes to "boogie", there is also the question of tempo,
as mentioned earlier in this thread.

2) I'm on the "fast" side of this argument, so for me "casino
boogie" doesnt really qualify. For me, "casino boogie" is
sorta old-school R&B combined with hillbilly vocals (I just
love how the Stones somehow make such unlikely amalgams
work seamlessly. Its one of their great strengths)

3) There are however two tracks in the Stones' part of the
universe that for me are among the best boogies. Coincidentally
both have inscrutable titles, so we'll simply re-name them...

"The Keith and Nicky Boogie"
("I boogied in the ballroom/I boogied in the dark")

"The Ron Wood Boogie"
("I never knew what it was to be loved/I never knew what it was to be laid")

4) Also: Ben Waters has said he was inspired to take up boogie
woogie when he watched a joint TV appearance by Jerry Lee Lewis,
Ray Charles, and Fats Domino. Here it is (with Ronnie and Steve
both members of the band):

I'll finish up my contribution to this thread with some miscellany...

You can find nearly every big name in 20th century piano history
attached to the word boogie. Earl Fatha Hynes, Huey Piano Smith,
Professor Longhair, Duke Ellington, Count Basie etc etc

As impressive as these musicians are, for me it all starts to blend
together. More or less, a piano note is a piano note. Without the
varying phrasings and timbre of guitars and vocals, its not really
what I want to listen to...

That said, I find this woman quite entertaining...

Same with these two guys...

And if you want to learn how, this teacher can't be beat...

This whole clip is good, but its most famous for the last minute,
when Gene Krupa drums on a match box with a pair of matchsticks...

Is this a boogie? I don't care, it makes me boogie
(It's a good day for paying your bills/It's a good day for curing your ills/
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills/Its a good day from morning til night)

Finally let's get real real gone for a change...
