did u know that the name of stillwater first album is "to begin whit" so when he say that in the movie is a joke about the name of the album. I dont remenber the name of the second album, the third is called fever dog!
I saw this movie and it reminded me of how much I wanted this life style! Played in a rock band in high school and college tried so hard to make it , but was drafted into the army and when I got out in 1975 became a cop for thirty years, but now retired and grew my hair back and I could play drums on this these songs just like it is played here!!!! God I love it so!!!!!!!!
Dude find people in your area to jam with. Either your age guys who jammed for years or didn't serve and played a lot morw shows and csn help you out. Either way, you'll be playing to your age group of all your fav songs and older if you find the right guys to jam with. Good luck!!
You are kidding right....I saw them in a bar in Utica NY in the late 70"s and they blew me away. I was rather surprised they didn't go big as they were as good if not better than a lot of the southern rock bands at the time.

Really excellent. Much thanks for sharing it. What can I say. We lived this back in the day (1967-1979). As far as many of us were concerned, it was the only way. What was not to like. Surprised, and thank God, I've lived past 40. Never thought I'd get that far much less 25 years on top of that. Still rocking at 65. Peace, blessings and grace to all. We all need it.
The songs were written by Nancy Wilson (of Heart fame, and Cameron's wife at the time) and Peter Frampton. The vocals were recorded by Marti Fredriksen and Mike McCready plays lead guitar.
I worked as a grip on the filming of Almost Famous........one of the most fun films to be a part of the crew. Everyone from the cast to the technical crew were working so close together, it's nice when you're apart of a project like that where everyone is pulling no punches to put 100% into the film and into being apart of a team........ It shows in the final product of the finished film. Peace & Love
That may explain why it’s such a damn good movie! It’s one of my very favorites of all time. Kate Hudson and I are the same age. The movie was released the year we both turned 21 and oh what a year it was, though this movie will always remind me of a time in my life between ages 17-19… The best times of my life when I wrote my first song and this movie inspired me to pursue my love of writing. About 12 years later, a piece I wrote about a popular local record store was published in print in Record Collector News (an international publication) and I couldn’t help but think of ‘Almost Famous’. I have the movie and the soundtrack. I love this ‘Stillwater’ album too. The film and the music seem to get better with every new year that passes by. I’d love to hear all your stories from being on that set! I’m sure you have some great memories. Hope life is treating you well! 🌹

im a sucker for the 70s, 80s & 90s. this movie is truly truly an amazing one! it brought tears to my eyes! so sick!
I MUST have had a past life in this time period cause whenever I see this movie and hear the music.....it strikes a chord in my heart and soul that I can't help but smile and tear at the same time. I identify with the band-aides in a way for sure. Girls who werent there for the fame and glory.....just to have fun and show appreciation for the music they love and the people who make it.
I love all of you so much,,each time your movie is on tv I cant stop watching.. You take me back to the best times in my life, You are all awesome,plus I have you here on my tablet too. Forever your fan,,you ARE BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL
There really was a band called Stillwater. When I watched the movie I first thought it was about them. I found out it is really about Cameron Crowes experience when he worked for Rolling Stone magazine. He toured with rock bands. Went on to write screen plays for movies and direct them and was married to Nancy Wilson. What a life and a millionaire too. WOW!!!
Always respected how much effort the producers invested into making Stillwater songs as good as they are. Thanks for having this on RU-vid man. Fucking awesome.
To bad they didn't use any of the real Stillwater band's songs. I worked with the bassist of the real Stillwater. He said they offered them some songs. Mindbender would have been a good one. This is Bob by the way.
McCready's so powerful in this song! FOr me it's the best Cameron Crow's movie, THE best movie in the universe of rock n roll, one of my top twenty best movies that I'v seen in my life^. There was a time that I could watch this movie over and over and over and over again.
Sergio: YOU ARE A GOLDEN GOD! My all time favourite movie and soundtrack which, I think I have somewhere...anyway, YOU are the best for posting this AND providing the link for the whole album! CRAZY 🎸
Stillwater was an American band of the 1970s, which played Southern rock with a folk flair. Their song Mind Bender charted in the top 100 singles in 1978. Cameron Crowe, writer for Rolling Stone magazine, first heard Stillwater playing in Macon Georgia at Unlce Sams night club and Lakeside Park. He ended up using the name "Stillwater" for his fictional band in his movie "Almost Famous."

Stillwater is: Mike Causey - Guitar Jimmy Hall - Vocals, percussion Bobby Golden - Guitar Allison Scarborough - Bass guitar, vocals Rob Walker - Guitar, vocals Bob Spearman - Keyboards Sebie Lacey - Drums, vocals
+chaparroblue gzz Thanks for the rundown of the studio band... I dig that they used a female bass player ... Though if I understand the Wikipedia entry for the studio band, the lead vocals were done by Marti Fredriksen.... His voice was perfect for this stuff.....Maybe the best movie soundtrack record ever recorded... McCready is on fire on this stuff!!
@@MetalheadYA if you are talking about the real Stillwater. First they weren't a studio band. And second Allison Scarborough is a guy. Lol. I worked with him at the warner robins ga post office. The real Stillwater was recording upnder the capiercorn label out of macon ga who also was the label for the Allman Brothers band. Marshall Tucker, Wet Willie.
First time i listen to this amazing Song, in Radio,i was thinkin is this a Led Zeppelin Song you never Heard?Holy Shit this ist soo hot👍❤️🏵️🌈☮️💯🤘🎶🎶🌸😘😘🔥🔥🔥Back to the Roots,ITS si beautiful,thanks for this Music✌️🙏🙋
A sincere Thank You to SERGIO! Finally someone put all of these songs together in an album format! Thanks again! Fantastic album! Thanks again sir! well done.
+Claire Owens Wish it was true as well Claire.... But, the lead vocals for all the Stillwater tracks was a singer, songwriter, producer, and musician named Marti Fredericksen. He has written a number of songs that were purchased from him by the likes of Aerosmith, Buckcherry, Carrie Underwood, Ozzy, Motley Crue, Gavin Rossdale, etc.... I love his voice on these tracks!!... I am shocked he hasn't made a career out of singing!!... But he is obviously doing very well.... Peace.
Back when I was 15 I worked for a company called Upstage and we would put up the stages for rock bands my first summer working with them i got on the Texas Jam tour and it was a blast meet a lot cool groups got to hang out with them back stage and got to live a rodie life for about 3 years
@@corinapavel4774 Thats what I was thinking. Jason Lee looked just like young Paul Rodgers in this film and I always thought of Billy Crudup as Paul Kossoff. Even the drummer reminds me of Simon Kirke.
I lived it, life on the rock and roll road, there is no cure, it's a place only a few know, to get to and from the show, love to love, and off you go, it comes and goes.......
some one asked me the other nght what was 1 of my favorite movies was,,, i said almost famus,, was not suprised when every one said mine too great tasty choice of music thanks for posting
I love this movie. Cameron Crowe is on my short list of people whom I would love to have drinks with and bullshit about music and/or Led Zeppelin for hours. Incredibly talented guy.
:) The movie Almost famous is a masterpiece :) Im sitting here in my living room, and blasting FEVER DOG like hell here, so everything rattels and rolls and hell man some lil things here and there is falling down. But hey hehehe thats rockn roll man :) AND IM A GOLDEN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD with a dog who has fever :)
Este grupo me ha hecho recordar mis años de juventud cuando existía el verdadero amor por la pareja, la familia, los amigos y la patria. Ademas yo solía bailar rock con mis amigo y en aquel tiempo era raro que a los negros le gustara este tipo de música. Y aun nose porque.
They aren't the real Stillwater band. The real Stillwater band is from Warner robins ga. And started playing inthe mid 70s. One of their hits is mind bender.
The 'Almost Famous' Stillwater from Troy, MO is actually a composite of four or five bands I toured with back in the early 1970s- a little lynyrd skynyrd, a lot of the Allman Brothers, some Eagles, some Neil Young, and a large dose of Led Zeppelin. There was no band from Troy, Missouri, called Stillwater. But there was a Stillwater, and it turns out the band included a semi-famous harmonica player named Jimmy Hall.
Yes, the movie may have been based on the kid's actual experience for writing for rolling stone (the absolute worst), but the band is completely fictitious... they made the music for the movie.
There was actually a band from Warner Robins Ga by the name of Stillwater, some of their original music can be found here on youtube, Mindbender, I reserve the right and many others, and jimmy Hall was also from this area or Macon Ga former home of Capricorn studios but he was part of a Band known as Wet Willie famous for such tunes as Countryside of life and keep on smiling
The director's cut, or some alt cut was on youtube tonight, so I watched it. A few minor added scenes, worth seeing. What an incredible movie! I can watch it any time. But I like 'that thing you do' better, in a way. (which also had a DR, with very interesting added scenes). It's about being in the band, where this is about being with the band. Some of these songs are really great!
I have the fever....like a dog.....the riff is my bone....and the itch is my home... I'm here!!!!!!!!! I hope that my soul exists too close....cause she's too close she's close.... give me the light it was mine... they tried to steal it.... ....uhhhhhhhh.... that's mine... So close to the fire so close... the desire you have no clue.... where the wind sweeps you .... guitar bend my mind
