Three Dog Night - Live '75 Soundstage, Chicago 

I'm 78 and rock hard still!

61 and still👍

Me too!

Me too! ❤

72 here 😊❤

There songs were on top 10 charts for weeks and in Canada also

Definitely

Without a doubt. Supposedly they aren't because they didn't write most of their own music. They did write some however, and more importantly brought attention to many emerging songwriters like Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman. They also made a song their own when they recorded it (check out other versions of "Mama Told Me Not To Come", to see what I mean). And keep in mind Elvis, who is (deservedly) in many Halls of Fame NEVER WROTE A SINGLE SONG. Not one. So I call bullshit on that excuse for not including 3DN in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They helped define an era FFS.

Absolutely

YES!

The best selling band from 1967 through 1975

I was just informed that their current tour (2023) sucks

​@@tobybeau2112 Cory has passed and Chuck is no longer in TDN so that leaves TDN as Danny and new singers. Some of the band like Floyd has passed. Not the same band

@@tobybeau2112- Yeah, well without Chuck Negron, it would suck. He sang the majority of hits, along with Cory Wells. Danny Hutton didn’t sing any full songs himself…. Until Chuck wasn’t invited back in the band (before Cory died).

Not this band. Jimmy Greenspoon the only one from the band. Their original band ROCKED the house! Captured Live is one of my all time favorite Live albums!! They took great singles and rocked them to death!!

Cool story! Thank you.

I'd have dropped out of school at that point

Did you live in Virginia?

Remember Memco ?

@@scottmccullough4267I did. Graduated in 76 from Stuart

agree whole heartedly. best music ever.

As I posted on another comment: Without a doubt. Supposedly, they aren't in the R&R Hall of Fame because they didn't write most of their own music. They did, however, write some, and more importantly, brought attention to many emerging songwriters like Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman.

Instead they induct that real rock and roller - Willie Nelson! :0(

Willie Nelson deserved it, bit so does TDN!

The naysayers use the "but they didn't write their own music" approach which is crap because most of the Motown acts in the R&R HOF didn't write their own music or play instruments either but because they were in 60s and supposedly "cool" they get inducted. The HOF definitely favors the 60's over the 70's and 80's for popular music artists. At least with the fan vote we are seeing some more acts inducted that should have been in a long time ago.

I grew up in the 80s and caught the tail end of the golden age of music. Yeah 70s by far was the best decade. All the greats of the 60s were at their peaks during that time.

I agree with you 100 percent. ❤

Agree 100%❤❤❤

me too. it flew by.

Me too! The great music. Where did it go? ❤

Absolutely Right!! They hit all the Right notes n harmonies when I saw them in 75.phenominal😁👏👏👏👏👏👏

Anyone notice who is filling in for their regular guitar player? Jeff Beck!!

Brother you're absolutely right about what you said

No, not Jeff Beck​@@anthonyboccitto991

⁠@@anthonyboccitto991I assume that is a weak attempt at humor. That is Al Ciner on guitar.

Fame and fortune can certainly cause people to live in excess.

Harmonize with any of them.They were very on their game here and this is a learning experience for someone wanting to learn. This,is how it's done!

Cory was just a good man and had his priorities firmly in place. Will always miss him but am so glad he left us his music.

I personally think Chuck had the best and most varied voice of the three. More vocal range and just greT.

@@williamtruett2813I once heard CN, say that Cory had the most diverse, that he could sing anything. Of course, CN had an epic voice

I Grew up in The 70s! 80s! 90s! It’s Been INTERESTING!🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😬😬🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I was in high school hool in 1971. The 70s had some of the best music and still playing .❤❤

Agree 💯 👍 I loved so many of their songs, but didn't realize until I was older that they were all the same band. And yes, the 70s was the end of good times to grow up. Helicopter parenting, rules, laws, regulations, fear, militarization of law enforcement, outlawing anything not idiot-proof, curfews, etc.. have made growing up less of an adventure, and more like regimented danger-avoidance..

Agreed. The only song they recorded that didn't surpass the original is Harry Nilsson's "One". I think his version is equally as good as TDN's.

They did write some of their own music, but they made whatever they sang their own 👍 Can anyone imagine 3 lead singers in a band today without egos getting in the way?

so sorry for your loss i understand addiction

May your heart be healed one day. 😢

I’m sorry 😢❤

So very sorry for your monumental loss.

Ahh, the Sports Arena. The good o'l days when you could drink at the beach, and camp at Fiesta Island!!

Great band

Chuck had a voice

First time I heard family of man live

Seventy years old had a couple of. Their records

Umm, they have stage monitors. You need to hear your voice and the others to sing in key and harmonize. Yes they had talent and were good. They still had to hear though it was not through earpieces.

Glad you lisren to your 80's albums. Three Dog Night" began in the late 60's and was really a 70's act. FYI.

Amen😊

30, not 37.

The best! One of my lifetime favorite songs. I am 66. That ays alot!

While your assessment of the musicians in the band is spot on, this is a somewhat later version of the band. Jimmy Greenspoon is still in the group (in '75), but Joe Schermie and Floyd Sneed are already gone. Michael Allsup is gone at this point, but he does return later. There's also a second keyboardist in this lineup, Skip Konte. The guitarist in this video is probably James Smith, but could also possibly be Al Ciner, depending on when in '75 it was filmed. The bassist was probably Jack Ryland, but also could have been Dennis Belfield, again depending on the timing. The drummer in this video is Mickey McMeel.

Thanks for the info! I greatly appreciate your knowledge on the personnel in the band.

@@davenamanda Oh, you're welcome!

Is that you in the red shirt @ 15:15?

Yes

Lucky dawg ! ! ! ! lol ,, awesome band ... 70's was a fantastic learning experience., all the different gear developments, production, cheap seats ! Thank you three dog night .. awesome ..

Totally agree

Cory was magnificent!! the boy had soul

Me too ❤

Probably because the performance was for the PBS TV show Soundstage. There's one of their concerts on RU-vid from 1969, I think, that shows the audience up on their feet.

It’s Chicago. Midwestern manners and sensibilities. They were there to see the show, not be the show.

I heard Danny promised Cory before he died. That he would not sing with Chuck. I found Chuck so good looking when I was a teenager.

He was up there with the best. All these guys could sing like few could.

But holy shit ... none of us could dance back then.

whats the deal with Chicago?

evelyn mayberry Chicago Music

That'll never happen. Once the band started performing, it appeared Danny was jealous of Chuck's success and popularity.

ABSOLUTELY incredible!! Those HIGH notes..Love to hear them all sing..❤

Yes he was marvelous but I think Cory was #1

@@davidwelsh5206 Loved Cory too.

To bad as Neil sang I’ve seen the needle and the damage done

At the RNC? That's disappointing.

Glad to see they were Republicans way back then. Very smart musicians. God bless America

​@@Redwhiteblue-gr5emIt was a gig!

Where was Chuck? Is he a democrat? lol

Smart & talented!!!!

Ha! Good one.

I hear ya! 3 beautiful men!!

Love the Monkees (I was 7 when they came out), but they didn't write the good songs themselves. Neil Diamond even wrote a couple. TDN did some INCREDIBLE song writing. I bought a greatest hits album of theirs with 20 tracks, and was pleased to find I knew almost every song from radio play.

Truth

I know of one band they did not outsell---The mighty Led Zeppelin

@@AlbertEinsteinSpock I said OUTSELL, not how many Top 40 hits they had. Which incidentally, TDN wrote none of them. Led Zeppelin was not a singles band-they were an album band. I was speaking of total record sales. I love Three Dog Night by the way and was just listening to "Suitable For Framing" the other day. Understand that I am not demeaning Three Dog Night's legacy in any way.

@@AlbertEinsteinSpock Ok Ok I get it. Point taken. So some comparisons don't bear close examination as in my Zep retort. You seem to me to be like me in alot of respects in that we both love Classic Music. I love Three Dog Night as I mentioned in my last post. I actually own their albums as opposed to the more popular Greatest Hits packages, so I have no ax to grind with TDN. Btw, that was not directed at you. I completely agree with you.

Right there with you! ❤

Mine too❤

Cory didn't do drugs. He liked to fish! A true upstate New Yorker.

ROCK??

I'd say no as far as rock. Talented but about the gayest looking guys you could find. The one guy with black hair no mustache is obnoxious.

They didn't write their own songs. That's what I've heard anyway. No induction for "non original" songs. 😢

+Gina Wyatt They are one of 36 acts I highlight in this video who could/should be in the RnR HOF... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mx6IQ5WR3tM.html

+Gina Wyatt Here is a petition: www.change.org/p/jon-landau-chairman-nominating-committee-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-three-dog-night-deserves-to-be-in-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame

The main reason is they only wrote a handful of songs and none of those were hits. As great as 3DN is, they're really nothing more than a glorified cover band.

They were far more than a cover band. They personally chose (often obscure) songs and re-arranged them, making them their own and turning them into major hits. The majority of the time their version was better than the original writer's arrangement and vocals. They also brought a lot of relatively unknown songwriters to the attention of the general public. There's quite a few songwriters out there who owe a lot to Three Dog Night.

I know all of that and none of it matters. The definition of a cover band is a band that doesn't play or record original material. Period. Only 9% of their recorded material was original (if you don't count the EP at the end of their career, otherwise the percentage is lower); 91% were covers. Therefore, they are a cover band. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_band#Examples_of_cover_acts However, that doesn't take anything away from how good they were or how successful they were. I love TDN. I saw them 30some years ago when Chuck was still in the band and have read both his and Jimmy Greenspoon's autobiographies. At one time I owned all of their albums and I still listen to them occasionally. But they were still a cover band and that's why they'll probably never make it into the R&R HoF.

+KEITH C Couldn't agree with you more about the Hammond B3 sound.....

+KEITH C Yeah, after that period, it all started to go down hill. Including 3DN. Same thing happened with Chicago.

I’m 60 also…my mom loved this band ,played there records all the time.Good Times!

Hahaha, that is hilarious. My band never did anything from the Dog, but I sing it at karaoke, and it is so much fun.

E for effort for dear dad 😅. At least he tried!

The Rare Earth. It's pretty great too

Favorite ❤

I was there also. Yes, indeed, it was sold out. I still remember the air was full of excitement and magic. Your comments are well said. The concert was timeless, sublime and a perfect example of Classic Rock. A wonderful, happy memory I’ll never forget either. Pure unadulterated talent of Three Dog Night. Thank you for posting this MyyyTunes. ❤❤❤❤ 🎸🎶

R.I.P. to the great, Emil Lewandowski. You will forever be missed. ♥️

Like the song says, if there's a rock and roll heaven.They got a hell of a band

Mine too😊
