This album is one of those stealthy gem’s that sneaks into the household, and turns everything upside down. I grew up in a conservative Christian family in the south. My father was a preacher. We were not allowed to listen to, nor did we own, any rock ‘n’ roll. But when this album came out, I begged for him to get it and it made sense because it’s about Jesus Christ. It also is my first rock ‘n’ roll album. Another sneaky album is Charlie Brown Christmas. My introduction to jazz. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Dude thank you so much. I used to play guitar as a side gig but havnt played in 10 years. Seen this show live and have been listening to it ever since. I absolutely thank you for the refresher.
This riff is so damn massive... so many songs and tunes with references to it as well - I wasn't around back then, but it's not hard to tell that this riff in particular (as well as the entire musical) was a big deal back in the day and was likely in the arsenal of many guitar players. As a fun fact, in the USSR it was popular to play a translated version of Sonny & Cher's "Little Man" with this riff in it - it's nothing if not versatile, but in any context, I always find it distinctly recognisable even if it's slightly amended.
I believe that was Henry McCullough and the original album from 1969 or 1970. What a great riff. Thank you so much for clouding this out. These are two rifts I always wanted to play. I don't know that I'll ever play them as good as you're doing but you're kicking ass.
Thank you so much for this video. It's my all-time favorite musical. I just started playing guitar about 3 months ago and I've always wanted to learn this song. Thank you.
Great song. I always like this best as well as ' pilates' song. I think Murray Heads version of the year 1970 is better than the movie soundtrack version, jeah
