Being a black guy who grew up primarily with hip hop and R&B in Harlem, blues traveler is one of the bands I always had a lowkey love for. Love their sound and John Poppers voice is underrated and he can play the hell out of that harmonica. No matter which run through of these songs, it’s always clean how he plays those solos. Amazing
In my opinion one of the best sounding songs ever released. I can listen to it everyday and not get bored. Wish my dad had the health so we could go to their concert but as long as I have videos of this song that we can watch I’ll be fine.😊
Also what a great harmonica solo I like it better in this live than the actual songs harmonica part. Love the energy of the people dancing in the background.
A great blues harp player for sure. Him and a British guy called Mark Feltham are my favourite. Marks from nine below zero but was on most 80’s and 90’s British hits as a session player. Oasis, Talk Talk, and Rory Gallagher to name a but a few.
I love rock and roll Hard Rock Metallica Zeppelin Van Halen Judas Priest AC/DC some Iron Maiden Black Sabbath Ozzy something about this song I just love it love the harmonica going to check out some of their other music I really like the band got to get a couple of CDs from them I like all music BB King especially BB King Blues I love Blues
True mastery of the Harmonica displayed here saweet I seen them in 2015 tulsa they were awesome. I remember the singer had like 5 different cups of different fluids he was drinking
He utilizes every single muscle and breathing talent, as well as his fat neck and cheeks, then hypnotizes the planet on his harmonica! AMAZING, and unique beyond compare!
Oh Once upon a midnight, dearie I woke with something in my head. I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said. Like a game show contestant with a parting gift I could not believe my eyes When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend Who needs to humor me and tell me lies. Yeah, humor me and tell me lies. And I'll lie too and say I don't mind. And as we seek so shall we find. And when you're feeling open I'll still be here But not without a certain degree of fear Of what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully. But you Why you wanna give me a run-around? Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down And shake me and my confidence About a great many things? But I've been there I can see it cower Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings Of a bad play where the heroes are right And nobody thinks or expects too much. And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights Singing baby let's keep in touch. Hey baby let's keep in touch. But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me And show me all the things no one else can see So what you feel becomes mine as well And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell What's yours and mine. The fishing's fine And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line. But you Why you wanna give me a run-around? Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down? Tra la la la la bombardier this is the pilot speaking And I've got some news for you; It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop And there ain't a whole lot that you can do. Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder Perhaps I've grown a little cynical. But I know no matter what the waitress brings I shall drink in and always be full. Yeah, I will drink it and always be full. Oh I like coffee, and I like tea. I'd like to be able to enter a final plea. I still got this dream that you just can't shake. I love you to the point you can no longer take. Well all right. Okay, So be that way. I hope and pray That there's something left to say But you Why you wanna give me a run-around? Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down? Oh, you Why you wanna give me a run-around? Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down?
I love that Justin Bieber fans (6 of them) disliked this! Blues Traveler will always be on another level musically, vocally, and every other way! Honorable mention "Just Wait" one of the best songs ever written that nobody has herd…….And I kinda like it that way!
Probably partakes in the occasional puff, once in a while, but I'm thinking he's not stupid when dealing with those valuable lungs and vocal chords. 😒 😎 😤
@@ChiSportsNut18 this is a live performance bands change the tempo of songs, lyrics even the key some sometimes. It’s his song he can sing it anyway way he likes. “Too fast” is a a judgment not an opinion. Sounds fine your opinion is irrelevant.
