Went through a nasty divorce after 31 years of marriage during the pandemic. Last 6 months were brutal. This song got me through it with sanity intact. Still listen a couple of times a month. ❤
It was the last song I listened to with my father before he passed away from a heart attack. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it; it's a wonderful song
So raw and real.... unveiled emotion pouring out from Boz and his bandmates.... so different form the BS production standards of today..... this performance is truly a treasure.
It's been20 some years ago . Boz Scaggs sat in with our little local band. He played all nite. You shouda heard him sing " Get Out Of My Life Woman " and " As The Years Go Passing By ". Great Musician . Great Human .
Guys like Boz,John Fogerty,John Hiatt,and on and on ,so many talented ,dedicated artists,out there,making timless music like this,gives one hope for humanity,its not all doom and gloom, thanks guys.
Diane Baker that's awesome music inspired him so greatly - I am 59 and still listen to him too I'm thrill to see yhis old footage he was so young - weren't we all !
this is the kind of of downbeat ballad that seems to materialize in a wash of glittery radio static in the wee hours after midnight. You might be lying in bed in a motel on a road trip trying to ease the strain of a locked in million mile stare after hundreds of miles logged behind the wheel and this song will wash in from a distant tower somewhere out across the vast dark stretches of the night
It didn't change me but maybe this is my favorite Boz song. I changes his life once by loaning him a dime too. Moments is his best album to me but few know it.
I think that was the first song I ever heard by Boz. And though it is one hell of a race I think it still might be my favorite. Out of a fine catalog filled with gems. A great artist and consummate live performer.
Featuring: Boz Scaggs - vocals & guitar Joachim Young - Organ David Brown - bass Doug Simril - guitar George Raines - drums Pat O'Hara - trombone Tom Poole - trumpet Mel Martin - tenor saxophone
If you get the much superior Studio version, you get the legendary Swampers, David Hood on Bass, Roger Hawkins on drums, piano and organ by the great Barry Becket.JimJohnson on Rhythm Backing vocals guitar, Eddie Hint on co- lead with a long haired kid named Duane, better known as Sky Dog and they proceeded to burn down the house!
This is one that WAS in the theatrical run but was edited out of the DVD release. No warning of this when I ordered it from Amazon and was one of the reasons I ordered it. I saw it the night it opened in Seattle and the audience was swaying in time to the music and singing along. Those were the days............................................!
I saw it in the theater and don't remember this part. So long ago maybe I am wrong. I was up front close to the stage, hoping to see myself. No such luck. Lol!
Apart from the incredible Loan me a dime with Duane Allman - this was the track on his first solo album that nailed it for me. Boz has such a sweet voice & his guitar is superb - a true musician!
that light we hope to see us as ...... to shine for some one,.... to b e more........ why we are here .... to say us to each other.......... as we can......... be that li ve on..... we want other s to b e why we say us to each other....... to b e that more we are here to b e.......... make some one shine........ as they liv e that one they are........ here to b e....... for some one else........ to shine..........
@@adc2327 Boz Scaggs probably played at the Filmore in S.F. a couple hundred times. I remember Him with the Steve Miller Blues Band. Boz Scaggs use to play on I think it was Thursday nights for $1.00 along with hundreds of other bands just starting out and got there start at the Filmore. "The good old days".
@@napili5470 I thought it was Tuesday night, $2.00. Lol! Thursday was too close to the weekend. I remember seeing Sylvester there on $2.00 Tuesday. No disco. He sang mostly ballads. He even played the piano. Then he got famous with his dance music. I was surprised.
I love this song. Someone in the comments must have spoken. This video is part of the film "The Last Days Of Fillmore East". I watched this movie about 4 times in the early 70s in cinemas in Brazil.
Boz is still making good music. His latest album, Memphis is great. I admire the spectrum his voice can cover and the diversity in the songs he chooses. Blues, ballads, dance, R&B, etc. His voice is still so smooth and clean. I saw him in concert last year 2016. A great guitarist and singer, he is a true "Artist".
I saw him at the Berkley Amphitheatre I can't remember the year but I think it was Thaistick or tiestick who knows that bit of nomenclature we never spelled it. You know what they say if you can remember the 60's you weren't there and I was still rushing in the 70's
Been looking for this. Thanks so much for posting. Title is actually Long Gone from his first, self-titled album. This is from the film: Fillmore, about the closing days of Bill Graham's Fillmore West concert hall in San Francisco. This was not included in the DVD released some years back. There's an interesting clip of that film on here somewhere of Graham on the phone arguing with Boz. This is an inspirational performance. I love it. Wanted to put it in our show when I first saw this.
Damnit. He is a great guitarist I am a Sucker for guitarist and he has it and his band together they are awesome first time I saw this video he looks so hot LoL 😊😘🎸🎶
Jack Littlefield OMG I LOVED ROY BUCHANAN I LOST MY MIND THE FIRST FEW TIMES I LISTENED TO HIS MUSIC I WAS FIFTEEN -I AM 59 NOW AND STILL LISTENING TO HIM !
+Patrick Bryant Just figured out the songs title is actually I'll Be Long Gone as noted by 67 psych & pnolans in recent previous comments. ...and in the posting credits above. Duh. :-)
