It’s crazy how Terry didn’t get the recognition he deserves! He should be mentioned with the greats…his music really got me through some of my darkest days🥹. Thank you Terry for sharing your art and talent with the world. I was born in 1993 and from the black ghettos of urban Philadelphia, and somehow his music found me. Music transcends…This man music saved my life! It’s a honor to still be living in a world while he’s still in it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've seen him perform three times and met him at a couple of the gigs - love him but in a way I think he has probably been happier without mega fame, he is a true individual and has gone his own way
man is a genius and deserved so much more fame. Seen Terry at a small venue in Fraserburgh (of all places) a few years ago, signed my cd and I bought him a pint before he played his set. True gentleman
Saw him at a seedy little club in NYC, 1970... Ungano's. He was, and still is, a powerhouse of energy, with an unmistakable style that has yet to be duplicated...
Saw Terry about 10 years ago in a small venue. Great guy. He had drinks with some fans before the show and came by our table after the performance to say hi and shake hands. Class act all the way!
Wow. I somehow missed Terry Reid over the years. This is crazy because I have a nearly encyclopedic knowledge of rock and roll. One can truly see all the artists he influenced just by listening to a few tracks. Deep dive is eminent.
I love Terry Reid. I had the good fortune to meet him before one of his gigs. Absolute Gentleman, who was happy to sign some albums and share some stories. Check out track one 'Faith To Arise' from the same album that this track is taken from ('Seed of Memory' 1976, Produced by Graham Nash).
Saw him last night in Dublin. Great performance. 2 hours + Just him and some guitars. Great talent. Great stories between the songs. Super friendly. So glad I got to see him. 👍
Can't find the superlatives to describe how incredible Terry is. His music, voice and songwriting is exemplary. Would loved to have seen him back in the day with David Lindley accompanying him. A true muical legend. God bless you Terry.
For some reason some incredibly talented people don’t become stars and unfortunately he’s one. When I was young everyone knew Terry Reid was good but for some reason it never quite happened. Showed there he’s still a great singer.
Saw this man this evening in a small intimate venue this evening..I have not heard of him before so interesting to find out I was in the presence of greatness.
Terry Reid , YOU ARE AMAZING! I agree with gennadicole! You have an amazing voice and and make the right Music to it ! but I also herd about you too late !
Wow still sounds amazing looks a bit different but it's still one of the UK's most underrated mussos. I still play the Driver Album several times a year just to hear his beautiful voice oh and gimme some lovin of course. Best version since the original if not Better.
Seen Terry at Pete Barton's Music and Arts Centre, Barnoldswick. Great bloke and steeped in the music so a terrific and emotive performance from a truly great musician. Get to see him if you can.
I still can't believe that I wrote songs for him and that we made a record together in Paris a few years ago shinemusic.bandcamp.com/album/shine-featuring-terry-reid He is the best of the best! I love you Terry.
@Indolore: You made a beautiful record! Thank you for posting the link. I just bought the album on Bandcamp. It definitely sounds like Terry, but nothing like other music he has made. Love it!
Reid actually said 'yes' to Page and they'd apparently started working on some ideas, but then his own career took precedent, prompting him to bow out. You must understand that at the time Terry Reid was the hotshot, not Page. Page was attempting to reassemble what had become a commercially unviable and has-been band, while Reid was being tipped for big things after opening for Cream on their farewell tour (prior to solo he'd been with Peter Jay & the Jaywalkers, a band that went nowhere). But Reid's big mistake was having his first couple albums produced by Mickie Most, a man whose priority was having hit singles. Indeed, Most stated that he has no interest in albums. Page learned that when Most produced the Yardbirds' 'Little Games'. So little did Most care that he actually put demos on the album and refused to let Page record the tracks properly. I think that album was 'done' in three days. It and a series of Most-produced singles killed the band's career at a time when they were one of the leading lights out of London (particularly when Jeff Beck was on guitar). But the Yardbirds' contract (and by extension Page's) was owned by the team of Most and manager Peter Grant (I assume the same with Reid). However, Page, once he assembled Led Zeppelin had a bargaining chip and he played that with Grant by refusing to have Most involved. Instead he enlisted the legendary Glyn Johns for the band's debut album, apparently also promising him co-producer credit, though Johns said Page refused to give him that credit once the (sensationally sounding) album was done. So Johns refused to ever work with Zep again, though his brother Andy was happy to do so. It was Glyn who combined his skills with Page's vision to define the recorded sound of the band, something Page retained for future recordings. Meanwhile, Reid's first two albums, despite great singing and tunes from him and decent backing from his band, languished in the market due largely to them not sounding so great. Had Glyn Johns produced them it would likely have been a very different story. Don't know who Glyn Johns is? He is a key reveal in the Beatles' 'Get Back' movie and has the likes of the Who, Small Faces, Eagles, Steve Miller, Boz Scaggs, Eric Clapton and many others to his credit. They sounded great because of him. Here is the first of an excellent two-part interview with the man. These clips and his book 'Sound Man' offer a wealth of insight into the makings of the careers of many of the greatest bands of the 1960s and 70s. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ge28VPi8Z_A.html
@@MrCherryJuice Why, thank you, I love how you really do dive deep into things, while most of people (including me) just "heard something". What's connecting us though is the love for music:-).
@@monikaszymanowska5142 You are welcome. Before we move onto other things, the clip linked below is good. And go listen to 'Dean' from Glastonbury on RU-vid (I think there is now just audio, though there was video. The band includes drummer Alan White (John Lennon, Yes...) and lap steel guitarist David Lindley, who sadly passed away last week. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JN0ygSc8yBQ.html
Saw him opening a London show for Jethro Tull in 1969. First person I ever saw playing a harp guitar. Used to look like Ian McShane and now he looks like Jim Broadbent. Always beautiful in every way.
