Superb! No autotune. No plastic, soulless overproduction. Talent, craft, understated musicianship and technical prowess. And on top, raw emotional vocals.
Met Boz at an outdoor venue in Cleveland some years back.When I stuck my hand out to introduce myself,he put his out and grabbed my 7 year old daughter,gave her a tour of his bus.I can still hear them laughing while they are cookies.....Still waiting for my f#$@_# autograph.
Boz has one of the finest voices anywhere. Great tone, fabulous phrasing, passionate voicing are the hallmarks of Boz Scaggs. Listening to him sliding into notes and then compressing the final note to reach your deepest soul. Boz plays a great guitar and is a superior songwriter. I saw him in the late 60s when he was with Steve Miller Blues Band as a founding member. His growth since then leaves him as an American Icon. He can touch a place inside that very few singers can. God bless Boz Scaggs.
Some people make fun of his voice...but You and I know "it's butter" The fact that he plays every genre is a tell tale sign he is a brilliant musician. I have followed him since the 70's which means I have seen him 40+ times. Go figure. lol
Yes, indeed! I photographed him in concert back in August 2019. Got some great images. That was the first time I’d ever seen him in a live show, and I was super impressed. His voice is superb, and he also plays a mean guitar as well. He is a national treasure!
I was about to post the same thing man. Fenton's version had BB king's band backing him up. and its a way better version. also he had a killer song called you don't know what love is. thanks for saying this.
@@1heiman I agree. Won’t throw stones at any of them though, as finding this has put a smile on my face and slowed my anxious heart rate to within human lol. Good music is the best medicine in this planet, the miracle many scientists should seek and find. Seriously I think. Quite a few docs wonder why and how I’m still here. Of course I give God the credit! Feeling before the first day, when God created the earth, He said, “Let there be Music!”🎶👍
He's actually gotten better with age. And he was damned near perfect when he was younger. Maybe the self assurance of a man aging perfectly in his craft.
that is the truth ............... that is none other than Drew Zingg in the back with the Gibson ES335, he has played a lot with Donald Fagen through the years, just a crazy good guitarist
Like 100 year old scotch. This song is 'SMOOOOOOTH!" And I still come here from time to time, just to take a sip. Peace to all and now, have a happy 4th!
Well said. Being in recovery now going on 25 years, I hear ya! I’m back too, but I’m only gonna have one drink...but like the drink, one listen to BOZ is never enough...it’s just not enough!
May I ask the title of the CD? I've always been a fan of Boz Scaggs but only heard the radio hits. I cannot explain my admiration for Duane except he was one of THEE best. This is only the 2nd time hearing this song, sorry to say, but if I had the CD life would be so much better.
@@joelwatts5260 Make sure you get the 2 CD set "My Time: A Boz Scaggs Anthology". He had an album titled "My Time" in 1972 that I just found out about.
Great camera work too, although would have liked to have seen more of the bass player while he's doing all those hip slide runs in a row, and following the time changes. But wow, what a full set of total virtuosos.
Boz is a master of his voice and his guitar. I had no idea how talented he was as a guitarist, and now I have a newfound respect for him. Wow, just wow!
As much as I think that "We're All Alone" is the best ballad ever written by man, I love it when Boz sings the blues. No nonsense, no caterwauling, no drama - just a soulful voice squeezed dry of self-pity, presenting the facts. Despite the fact that Duane Allman is no longer among us, I like this version better than the studio version because Boz has grown into his voice.
I believe Boz scaggs is excellent low down harbor lights and the song loan me dime is Superior both vertions are good I think Duane Allmans guitar playing makes that rendition better but it has to be great song that's why both work
And , if I may add to your superb memoir, the fact that Boz lost his own son a number of years ago I believe adds to his feelings and understanding of what the blues really is all about .
I saw him do this about 10 years ago, and although he probably played this a hundred times, he closed his eyes and lost himself in it. He treated it like it mattered, and it showed. Thank you, Boz. Special for a reason.
It's beautiful to see somebody who still gives themself up to the song. All these people are lifelong musicians, who grew up wanting to be the working musicians around them in Chicago or Dallas or San Francisco. They're doing what they're called to do.
He let's it take him to what I call ( the zone ) It's about the music.. no t about himself or ego...it's the ability to be the ultimate human empath...to convey this to the other's he never met never will from a person who knows such respect
it's called blues, and Boz plays it so well, he's underrated as a guitar player, and his lead guitarist plays with so much passion and feel it's crazy.
63 here and going to the show at the Fox in Atlanta on the 31st of this month to see the "Out of the Blues" show. Cannot wait. It's been rescheduled twice, and I gambled both times and kept the tickets, so finally going to see it.
The great and unique thing about Boz's voice is that he sings from the back of his throat. It's a pleasant, acoustic sound that makes for a rich tone like no other. It's perfect for the Blues. He is almost in tears, it seems. I love it.
Having been a working musician for many years, I stand in absolute awe of the tightness of this performance. Picked up on this song many years ago on one of the Duane Anthologies. Have loved it ever since and this version has to stand as one of the great live renditions of all times. My hat is off to all these players and Boz's vocal!!!
Saw Boz and his band right after BB King died. They did a tribute him and holy smokes!!! They most incredible blues jam I've ever seen live. Absolutely incredible. By the way - I was there for the opening act - Tower of Power. So what a one-two punch that show was!!
I grew up in Muscle Shoals, Alabama where this was first recorded. When I consider how new and incredible this was in the late 60’s, I just shake my head. Especially when Duane Allman was making this stuff as he went. He had never heard great blues/lead. He was it. And the rhythm section (the Swampers, according to Ronnie Van Zant) wrote the book on backing this stuff. Mercy. This is sick. Always has been. Boz is the least credited Master of his generation. “…my old time, used to be.” Are you kidding me? How incredibly gifted. Thanks, Boz. You helped make a little chubby white kid know he could play and sing the Blues.
First time I heard this we were playing cards at a friend’s house. Another friend was working as a DJ at a college radio station,and played it for us. The card game stopped until it finished. Love this song!
This song introduced me to the blues when I was about 12. I'm 61 now and It still hits me deep inside every time. Saw him a couple of years ago in Grass Valley CA and he's still got it!
My brother was an early Motown fan. He shared his love for music, like " Tell it Like it Is" by Aaron Neville. After you hear that soul - it shapes your taste. My brother is gone. But the music, lives on!!
Fell in love with the song when I discovered the Skydog anthologies 40ish years ago, and have played it tens of thousands of times since. Boz still is top of his game! Sad he doesn't have Duane beside him. What album would I have if on deserted island and could only choose 1? Duane Allman Anthology I and II of course (4 discs- ; )). So many legends came through Muscle Shoals Fame Studios. My older brother and sisters turned me on to many a great bands and music, but I found this on my own. The best part about youtube for me is the education I get in the comments, and searching out the source, which is always easy. Fenton Robinson deserves much credit for Duane's inspiration. Like following 'Shake your hips' from the Stones back to Slim Harpo. Got criticized (trolled?) for liking a song and not crediting the original, and since have been finding the source of things. 'When the Levee Breaks' original can be found and is every bit as good as the new one with technology and studio mastering on its side.
Same here… I was slightly older and actually found the appetizer (for me) in James Taylor’s ’Steamroller Blues’ live on his greatest hits album. That led me to Boz’s version of this. I would say you drink a beer listening to Steamroller, and you drink some wine listening to Loan… Both are lifetime favorites for me.
I was like "Really, that was 15 minutes already?" I could have listened to them go another 15. Always loved this song. I play it as loud as I can whenever I get a chance
Hands down, no questions asked, one of the best jambs ever played by a group of some of the best musicians you’ll ever have the pleasure of listening to.
This song was my "how to survive a breakup" all-night weed-smoking go-to. I'd play it, cry some more, play it again. Each line has a special truth. Bless Fenton Robinson AND Boz, for the arrangement. And yes, Mr. Allman just killed it on the album. This live version is damn good.
Remember calling into a radio station in Gainesville FL in 80 and asking for this to be played. DJ must of been over the moon as he had 16 min to light one up and enjoy this fabulous track. And this version is simply sublime. Thanks.
Such a rich performance. Pure talent all around...vocal tone, instrument phrasing, structure, synchronicity between the players...this is the magic that is music.
I have been a fan since this first came out in the 60’s this whole album is one of my favorites and this is an absolute amazing performance. Bravo Boz Scaggs
I met Fenton Robinson in Mississippi in the 80s, and we talked about this cover of his. He was proud of the way Boz and the boys do it. RIP Fenton Robinson. Now go watch him do the original. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Мой бог, что это было. Просто невероятно, это космос, настоящие эмпиреи. Какая то неведомая сила вырвала меня из моей телесной оболочки и вознесла меня на небеса. Какое удивительное совершенство музыки и вокала. Вот оно настоящее творение настоящих музыкантов.
I wonder if Boz still hears Duane when he sings this.....who else can play this like he could? Young Duane you were ahead of your time and even now I don't think we quite get the beautiful talent that you were. Here we are in 2016 and I still play every song that Duane Allman played on just to hear perfection......and you live on in the beautiful perfection you left for all of us.
Duane Allman, the road will go on forever. He will never suffer the two deaths. He has suffered the first. The second, when you are forgotten. He is one for the ages.
Mr. Scaggs, without a doubt is one of the most under rated musicians and vocalist of his era. He can tear your heart asunder with his guitar or his words. You feel the pathos in his performance. He puts his heart and soul into his music and we, the listeners are the recipients of a great gift. Thank you for your music Mr. Scaggs.
WELL NOW, HE DEFINTELY WORKS FOR ME, AND HIS TALENT GOES BEYOND DESCRIPTION. ALSO THE LEAD GUITARIST HAD A COMPLETE CONVERSATION WITH HIS GUITAR. FANTASTIC!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Listened to this again for about the 50th time. I heard that Boz plays this in the encore at most of his concerts. I am looking for his next tour and will make the trip. This is an amazing performance and seeing it is a bucket list experience.
When I was playing professionally back in the 1970’s, I’d heard Boz in Philadelphia and had the thought in my mind that I wanted to play in his band. I felt it was the finest band I’d ever heard! That never happened and it was my lifelong loss. God bless you, Boz, for all the years of incredible music.........for me, some of the greatest songs ever written.
In the late 70's and early 80's a band called Chicago Blues Power was the house band for the Saloon in San Francisco. The Saloon is the oldest continuously open bar in California and it is just a little hole in the wall. Boz under the alias Texas Slim would come and play with them. It was always a secret and my husband and I were always told about it because my husband was friends with the band. It was so awesome. Also my husband had met Boz and he always remembered my husbands name.
Absolutely excellent vocals and music here. The music is beautiful, ethereal, real, and pure . We need pride in this American Excellence and much more if it!! The globe is watching us as we now divide and fall apart. The forced hate being pushed by media is a desperate reaction to our powerful unity. UNITE AMERICA !!! LET'S ONCE AGAIN BOOGIE !! -MLE
@Boz Scaggs ♪ Born and raised on Long Island. Child of the sixties and seventies as far as my musical influences are concerned. My appreciation of, in particular, blues music began back in college in the late sixties/early seventies. I loved listening to the new FM radio stations and shunned AM radio ("pop music"). To this day I cannot understand most people's infatuation with that drivel. The soul and feel of the blues is what I love. Made sure my two, now grown, children developed an appreciation of good music as part of their education. They have both thanked me for exposing them to the "classics" (Hendrix, Stones, Beatles etc.) I can only hope they will pass that onto their children as well. LONG LIVE ROCK & ROLL !!!
I went to a boz Skaggs concert this evening in Clearwater Florida, and they did this song as their final song of the night. It was so awesome that it gave me chills. Great show!
Listening to this song makes me cry like a baby all night long! Best blues song ever! This version is fantastic but nothing beats Duane playing on the original. But absolutely love this version too!! Thank you Boz:)
I remember hearing this when it first came out , i was sold boz a true texas blues man at heart , pure talent and Duane Allman now he was trurly gifted
Close your eyes and listen to the trade off guitar solos - swear Skydog is playing next to Boz. Guaranteed Duane Allman is smiling down from heaven. Thanks be to Boz, this unbelievably tight band and the sound techs. Now I got to find some tissue to dry my eyes. Seriously.
I am in love with you. 💋I'm in tears too. This beauty is out there and we are blessed to hear it, know it, love it. I hope that the "young'uns" discover what we know. Ah, old age. Best wishes, my friend.
Somebody loan me a dime My baby up an left me Left me for another man Lyrics can flow on this forever I say somebody loan me a dime I gotta call my baby
Was very young when heard Boz for first time and his music being called “blue eyed soul” didn’t know what it meant..just knew l loved it..still not sure if l know the meaning..but am still in love..❤️🇨🇦 .
I never liked Boz's slick, over-produced radio hits of the '70's, but when he gets down to stripped down, heartfelt blues like this, he shines. This is an incredible performance. His "Come On Home" album of cover songs is one of my "desert island" albums. I NEVER get tired of listening to it. Pure genius.
Mark Daniels Yes, I saw him live at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley California in 1972. He was wearing a classy all white suit. Amazing performance. I think Boz Skaggs fans are special people. He is so unique.
First saw Drew Zingg with Steely Dan. around 93. Blew me away. and now, he gives a masterful performance while paying homage to Duane in his first solo. Class act!!
Many years ago I heard this song, but I couldn't find it in our little town a friend saw an Allman brothers cover and it blew me away and I decided I wanted to play my harp over it, played it cross harp with a d harmonica and it turned out sweet, now every time I hear something that I feel needs a little blues harp I add it in for me. Thanks Boz.
this is a beautiful tune , I first heard it in high school and played it over the P.A. as a member of the radio club at Lord Beaver Brook High School in Calgary . In essence as 69 a year old I say keep on trucking in a positive manner and may God bless. Toby Nilsson
Boz Scaggs has the soul of a man with the blue's to sing and perform the blues 💙 and I enjoy the blues most when I am blue today will be a blue day for me as I will be paying and praying for a man of my generation the Vietnam War generation a fellow veteran who served in the military at this time of our lives my music tastes are in early Rock and Roll The Beatles the Rolling Stones Led zeppelin the Anameals Jimmy Hendricks and the Doors just to name a few❤I love Rock and Roll forever!!!
What that ''dime'' means is old school, but every generation needs to learn. Thinkin' bout ''my old time used to be.'' What blues is all about. Bittersweet....still a rush.
Yea there's nothing to learn. Everbody knows what a Dime is. And most should be able to figure out he's talkin about using the pay phone. Not really much to learn. 🤷♂️
This version is excellent, Boz is a master, his voice is awesome. The musicians bring the song to the next level, and of course Drew Zingg on guitar shows his great talent on it. Top notch!

Same Lucky for me I'm on 44 acres
Love that brother!!
Damn Skippy..! Lol..
i was just thinking that
50 years from now nobody will know the significance of the title. This song moves me to tears.
I fell in love with boz skaggs in the 70's in jr high when i heard "dirty low down". He's so smooth and his voice is just different .
Me too early 70’s I just think he is incredible musician revisiting him lately this tune is mucho man

Agreed! It's a Boz Scaggs song, not a jam band. A little bass-heavy though, and early guitarists (cough) did the job with fewer notes.
@@michaellivingston4998 He's God.

Naturally..
Wow. The blues don't get better than this. Duane is smiling up in heaven.
Yeah he is.
@@michaelcartwright1986 I hate to be selfish but....I hope its a LOOOONG time before Boz and Duane are together there.

Trurer words have never been spoken. An outstanding legend in his own time. Awesome Boz!
The great thing about the Blues ,… if it was played 20 years ago, today or in 20 years time it would still sound so so good
so true, timeless and priceless
timeless yes sir
We were Blessed to be Alive during this time of true musicians and music. We are Americans and will survive Long Live the Patriots.

All respects to Fenton Robinson who wrote this song and never was fully recognized. He was certainly one of the greats.

As good as this is the original recording at Muscle Shoals Studios with Duane Allman will always stand the test of time.
INDEED!
This man is a master of the blues. He kills this song and yes I have the chills!
I saw him in 1979 and it's the best concert I've seen to date. Love the saxophone.
his longevity is rarely seen...his diversity is unmatched...boz scaggs is an American treasure
ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!
All of you guys are AWESOMELY CORRECT
I totally agree
Yes.
Oh, I so agree!!!
My god, I can't believe I made it 57 years without hearing this performance. This is extraordinary.
The whole DVD is excellent! so many of his classic songs.

hi, friend
This live version is truly a religious experience. Boz thank you for this song from the heart. Absolutely magnificent blues at it’s finest!
Amen, brother!
Boz is a master of his voice and his guitar. I had no idea how talented he was as a guitarist, and now I have a newfound respect for him. Wow, just wow!
I'm utterly mind blown!!!!
The original song featured Duane Allman on lead. Boz sounds great, tho.
As much as I think that "We're All Alone" is the best ballad ever written by man, I love it when Boz sings the blues. No nonsense, no caterwauling, no drama - just a soulful voice squeezed dry of self-pity, presenting the facts. Despite the fact that Duane Allman is no longer among us, I like this version better than the studio version because Boz has grown into his voice.
Yep!! Just like Tony Benett, got better as he got older!!
I believe Boz scaggs is excellent low down harbor lights and the song loan me dime is Superior both vertions are good I think Duane Allmans guitar playing makes that rendition better but it has to be great song that's why both work
It's not with Duane Allman and the Swampers from Muscle Shoals but this is an excellent live version by Boz Scaggs and his great band!
And , if I may add to your superb memoir, the fact that Boz lost his own son a number of years ago I believe adds to his feelings and understanding of what the blues really is all about .
First time I heard this masterpiece, and wonderful to hear and see my late boyfriend, Rich Armstrong playing on trumpet. RIP Rich Armstrong! 🙏❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have this recording to remind you of better times. Playing in this band would be among the best of times.
Now you're giving me the blues...
Boz kills this song since I heard it! Love his blues, he's fantastic. Been holding on to "Loan ME a Dime". One of beasties every !
Here's one for you darlin'....may he Rest In Rhythm RIR ;>)
This isn't the original. Fenton Robinson wrote this and Boz ripped it off. He got sued for it too.
Had the privilege of seeing Boz and his incredible band play this live in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. Man- Oh- Man. INCREDIBLE.
What more is there to say, just chills up and down my spine! His voice is magnetic! Great band! :)
That's what enormous regret and heartache sound like.
@Boz Scaggs ♪ The smallest state!
I saw him do this about 10 years ago, and although he probably played this a hundred times, he closed his eyes and lost himself in it. He treated it like it mattered, and it showed. Thank you, Boz. Special for a reason.
So if he hadn’t closed his eyes...it wouldn’t have mattered?
You sound like my ex wife. Is that you, honey?
It's beautiful to see somebody who still gives themself up to the song. All these people are lifelong musicians, who grew up wanting to be the working musicians around them in Chicago or Dallas or San Francisco. They're doing what they're called to do.

Wonderful cannot come close... 💋 😘 ❤ Love it...
YES BOZ!! SO COOL!! I HAVE LOVED HIS MUSIC FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.
Please keep in mind that Fenton Robinson wrote and first performed Someone Loan Me A Dime
It's worth a trip to this goofy planet just to hear this masterpiece!!!
First time I heard this we were playing cards at a friend’s house. Another friend was working as a DJ at a college radio station,and played it for us. The card game stopped until it finished. Love this song!
This song introduced me to the blues when I was about 12. I'm 61 now and It still hits me deep inside every time. Saw him a couple of years ago in Grass Valley CA and he's still got it!
Ain’t it a grand song ?
My brother was an early Motown fan. He shared his love for music, like " Tell it Like it Is" by Aaron Neville. After you hear that soul - it shapes your taste. My brother is gone. But the music, lives on!!
Fell in love with the song when I discovered the Skydog anthologies 40ish years ago, and have played it tens of thousands of times since. Boz still is top of his game! Sad he doesn't have Duane beside him. What album would I have if on deserted island and could only choose 1? Duane Allman Anthology I and II of course (4 discs- ; )). So many legends came through Muscle Shoals Fame Studios. My older brother and sisters turned me on to many a great bands and music, but I found this on my own.
The best part about youtube for me is the education I get in the comments, and searching out the source, which is always easy. Fenton Robinson deserves much credit for Duane's inspiration. Like following 'Shake your hips' from the Stones back to Slim Harpo. Got criticized (trolled?) for liking a song and not crediting the original, and since have been finding the source of things. 'When the Levee Breaks' original can be found and is every bit as good as the new one with technology and studio mastering on its side.
Same here… I was slightly older and actually found the appetizer (for me) in James Taylor’s ’Steamroller Blues’ live on his greatest hits album. That led me to Boz’s version of this.
I would say you drink a beer listening to Steamroller, and you drink some wine listening to Loan… Both are lifetime favorites for me.
@@mattg6290 Joe B does a great fill in for the Skydog
I found this by accident. It's beyond beautiful. WOW.
You should buy the DVD it is great!
Several of the songs from that DVD are here on YT. It has so many classic songs oh his
Accidents may happen :)
By accident...please explain
@@cbennett196631 shhhhh
Wow...what an expressive guitarist! Rare to hear such a defined puctuated lead.
Real talent. All you youngsters take note. Never gets old.
Love you Boz
I was like "Really, that was 15 minutes already?" I could have listened to them go another 15. Always loved this song. I play it as loud as I can whenever I get a chance
Hands down, no questions asked, one of the best jambs ever played by a group of some of the best musicians you’ll ever have the pleasure of listening to.
THE BEST BLUES PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME!
I have listened to this so many times! I love this song!
I believe that is Drew Zingg playing guitar behind Boz. He's a great player and the entire band is hot.
I was just wondering who the guitarist is. Damn fine artist at his craft....amazing. Thanks
Ever here it with Duane Almond
@@timmynormand8082 I have heard it with Duane Allman.
Boz the legend. This performance is a flawless rendition of his 69 classic, only better. Just brilliant.
My God he is incredible! And yes it does give me chills. One of the greatest performers ever underrated!
This song was my "how to survive a breakup" all-night weed-smoking go-to. I'd play it, cry some more, play it again. Each line has a special truth.
Bless Fenton Robinson AND Boz, for the arrangement.
And yes, Mr. Allman just killed it on the album. This live version is damn good.
A tall scotch, and this song, and a warm woman. It doesn't get any better.
You got that right brother, you got that right.
especially if you get all 3 at the same time.
Life could not get any better
Very classy coment
His voice is so perfect it is astonishing
If you love the blues, listen and honor Boz Scaggs. The man gives me chills!!!!
Remember calling into a radio station in Gainesville FL in 80 and asking for this to be played. DJ must of been over the moon as he had 16 min to light one up and enjoy this fabulous track. And this version is simply sublime.
Thanks.
From France originally. Was living in Boston and a friend of mine was at Uni there but had family in Gainesville
Bet that was on the Pipeline 😊
Such a rich performance. Pure talent all around...vocal tone, instrument phrasing, structure, synchronicity between the players...this is the magic that is music.
I have been a fan since this first came out in the 60’s this whole album is one of my favorites and this is an absolute amazing performance. Bravo Boz Scaggs
I have been a been a fan since I first heard this song. I was 15 when I first heard it I'm 65 now & it still touches my Soul.
@@jaimemedina909 He had Duabe Allman on guitar earlier
Me too
I met Fenton Robinson in Mississippi in the 80s, and we talked about this cover of his. He was proud of the way Boz and the boys do it. RIP Fenton Robinson. Now go watch him do the original. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve been a Boz Skaggs fan since the 70’s and I’ve never heard this song before. Wonderful!
NO way this is too long. Now way. Sweet blues with a ceegar and Whiskey. Never too long. Damn fine music.
Rick Lakehomer
Good song my good man
Rick Lakehomer amen!
@@charlesdominoe3636 well said Rick and Charles.
@@karenrogillio3526 Ms. Karen, you are So right!
He was badazz live playing lone me a dime awesome look it up on utube
Boz has everything, looks, personality, magical voice, sweetheart of a person and HOT!!!!!! OMG nothing compares..... xo
what does your husband think of this 🤔
Such a beautiful and daunting tune performed by a fabulous artist!
@Boz Scaggs ♪ Thank you for acknowledging my comment ! From Toronto, Canada. Never get tired fo your tunes.
Мой бог, что это было. Просто невероятно, это космос, настоящие эмпиреи. Какая то неведомая сила вырвала меня из моей телесной оболочки и вознесла меня на небеса. Какое удивительное совершенство музыки и вокала. Вот оно настоящее творение настоящих музыкантов.
I wonder if Boz still hears Duane when he sings this.....who else can play this like he could? Young Duane you were ahead of your time and even now I don't think we quite get the beautiful talent that you were. Here we are in 2016 and I still play every song that Duane Allman played on just to hear perfection......and you live on in the beautiful perfection you left for all of us.
I'm sure Boz does....I know I do!
Duane Allman, the road will go on forever. He will never suffer the two deaths. He has suffered the first. The second, when you are forgotten. He is one for the ages.
Wow!
true that
So true!
Mr. Scaggs, without a doubt is one of the most under rated musicians and vocalist of his era. He can tear your heart asunder with his guitar or his words. You feel the pathos in his performance. He puts his heart and soul into his music and we, the listeners are the recipients of a great gift.
Thank you for your music Mr. Scaggs.
Ditto!
SOOO Underrated but still is doing a great job of taking us to another place with his brilliant music.
Underated? Perhaps to the uninitiated. But it's all cool. Boz is Boz, and no one else is. By degrees, pure silk.
@@rogermacauley806 Boz is one of the greatest singer, songwriters of his generation. Overlooked yeah! But as you said Boz is Boz.
@@jeffheim8588 Terribly, outrageously, cool. Do a contrast from this piece to his song, High Sierra. Brilliant...and, well hell, so many, many more.
WELL NOW, HE DEFINTELY WORKS FOR ME, AND HIS TALENT GOES BEYOND DESCRIPTION. ALSO THE LEAD GUITARIST HAD A COMPLETE CONVERSATION WITH HIS GUITAR. FANTASTIC!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Listened to this again for about the 50th time. I heard that Boz plays this in the encore at most of his concerts. I am looking for his next tour and will make the trip. This is an amazing performance and seeing it is a bucket list experience.
I always think of Duane Allman every time I hear Boz do this tune -- but, this performance is "almost" as good as it gets without him.
Wow! No words to describe how beautiful this is! Now THIS is what I call good music!
Great bunch of musicians as well who NEVER get the recognition they deserve
Mr Sinatra was one of the few who did
That’s everything
The classic par excellence! Cette musique m'entraine l'ame dans un dedale de vertiges et de frissons...depuis plus de 50 ans!
I love this rendition 🥰 I think Boz & the band are tight and rythmic.
Absolutely a fantastic song. Great guitar work. Love it.
Guitars (both leads) serve the song, rather than swamping it. But I feel the same about the keyboards, horns, and percussion.
Amazing performance of a blues masterpiece,bravo Boz!
Artistry, have loved this song for decades, Boz not only keeps it alive, it doesn't get better
When I was playing professionally back in the 1970’s, I’d heard Boz in Philadelphia and had the thought in my mind that I wanted to play in his band. I felt it was the finest band I’d ever heard! That never happened and it was my lifelong loss. God bless you, Boz, for all the years of incredible music.........for me, some of the greatest songs ever written.
In the late 70's and early 80's a band called Chicago Blues Power was the house band for the Saloon in San Francisco. The Saloon is the oldest continuously open bar in California and it is just a little hole in the wall. Boz under the alias Texas Slim would come and play with them. It was always a secret and my husband and I were always told about it because my husband was friends with the band. It was so awesome. Also my husband had met Boz and he always remembered my husbands name.
Absolutely excellent vocals and music here. The music is beautiful, ethereal, real, and pure .
We need pride in this American Excellence and much more if it!! The globe is watching us as we now divide and fall apart. The forced hate being pushed by media is a desperate reaction to our powerful unity. UNITE AMERICA !!! LET'S ONCE AGAIN BOOGIE !!
-MLE
One of the best jams Ive ever heard. The ending is incredible
Thank goodness he’s keeping the Allman Brothers music Alive , I’m grateful !
What an amazing artist. He has only mellowed with age. That's some sweet blues.
@Boz Scaggs ♪ Born and raised on Long Island. Child of the sixties and seventies as far as my musical influences are concerned. My appreciation of, in particular, blues music began back in college in the late sixties/early seventies. I loved listening to the new FM radio stations and shunned AM radio ("pop music"). To this day I cannot understand most people's infatuation with that drivel.
The soul and feel of the blues is what I love. Made sure my two, now grown, children developed an appreciation of good music as part of their education. They have both thanked me for exposing them to the "classics" (Hendrix, Stones, Beatles etc.) I can only hope they will pass that onto their children as well. LONG LIVE ROCK & ROLL !!!
I went to a boz Skaggs concert this evening in Clearwater Florida, and they did this song as their final song of the night. It was so awesome that it gave me chills. Great show!
Nice
Listening to this song makes me cry like a baby all night long!
Best blues song ever! This version is fantastic but nothing beats Duane playing on the original. But absolutely love this version too!!
Thank you Boz:)
I remember hearing this when it first came out , i was sold boz a true texas blues man at heart , pure talent and Duane Allman now he was trurly gifted
Take notes, children. This is how you play the blues. I mean the real low down dirty blues.
they’re checking their phones right now🤔
There’s too much hip hop and electronic stuff for kids to appreciate this. We’ll probably pray for them right? ☺️
Absolutely
Don't forget Steve Ray Vaughn
Them low down dirty stink’n blues
Close your eyes and listen to the trade off guitar solos - swear Skydog is playing next to Boz. Guaranteed Duane Allman is smiling down from heaven. Thanks be to Boz, this unbelievably tight band and the sound techs. Now I got to find some tissue to dry my eyes. Seriously.
I am in love with you. 💋I'm in tears too. This beauty is out there and we are blessed to hear it, know it, love it. I hope that the "young'uns" discover what we know. Ah, old age.
Best wishes, my friend.
Somebody loan me a dime
My baby up an left me
Left me for another man
Lyrics can flow on this forever
I say somebody loan me a dime
I gotta call my baby
Awesome
Was very young when heard Boz for first time and his music being called “blue eyed soul” didn’t know what it meant..just knew l loved it..still not sure if l know the meaning..but am still in love..❤️🇨🇦
.
From a Texas Blues Man
@@mikego3346 how nice ..from a long ago blues man..know where you’re coming from..🇨🇦
I keep coming back and replaying this amazing rendition of an outstanding song.
I could just put this on loop and listen to it all day, talk about relaxing,this is the ultimate stress relief!
I rarely just listen to this one time through. Always multiple times in a row!
I never liked Boz's slick, over-produced radio hits of the '70's, but when he gets down to stripped down, heartfelt blues like this, he shines. This is an incredible performance. His "Come On Home" album of cover songs is one of my "desert island" albums. I NEVER get tired of listening to it. Pure genius.
Come on Home was a knockout CD
That soulful voice mixed with the haunting guitar melody will stay in my heart and memory a very, very long time. Thanks for a masterpiece of music.
Brilliant, mesmirising, fabulous musicians - ok i cant help myself: still miss the ultimate edge of the Duane Allman recording...
im 54 yrs old. ive been listening to boz since I was a teenager. jojo is my fav. and theres so many...but this .......
I'm 62 just found this accidently always thought Boz Scaggs was average bugger it totally wrong. Thank God for TH-cam
@@sandrablair5772 I'm 60 and have being listening to Boz since I was about 20 too. Think Low Down was the first track I heard of his.
Mark Daniels Yes, I saw him live at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley California in 1972. He was wearing a classy all white suit. Amazing performance.
I think Boz Skaggs fans are special people. He is so unique.
Love it too❤️jojo is my nickname😊
First saw Drew Zingg with Steely Dan. around 93. Blew me away. and now, he gives a masterful performance while paying homage to Duane in his first solo. Class act!!
Just the name Boz Skaggs sends shivers up my spine.
Many years ago I heard this song, but I couldn't find it in our little town a friend saw an Allman brothers cover and it blew me away and I decided I wanted to play my harp over it, played it cross harp with a d harmonica and it turned out sweet, now every time I hear something that I feel needs a little blues harp I add it in for me.
Thanks Boz.
this is a beautiful tune , I first heard it in high school and played it over the P.A. as a member of the radio club at Lord Beaver Brook High School in Calgary . In essence as 69 a year old I say keep on trucking in a positive manner and may God bless.
Toby Nilsson
The best blues song and tune of all time, orchestrated and played by great musicians, a milestone in the production of true art.
Written and recorded by Fenton Robonson, ripped off by Boz.
Boz Scaggs has the soul of a man with the blue's to sing and perform the blues 💙 and I enjoy the blues most when I am blue today will be a blue day for me as I will be paying and praying for a man of my generation the Vietnam War generation a fellow veteran who served in the military at this time of our lives my music tastes are in early Rock and Roll The Beatles the Rolling Stones Led zeppelin the Anameals Jimmy Hendricks and the Doors just to name a few❤I love Rock and Roll forever!!!
He is so good.
I’ve heard him play this live.
Exquisite.
What that ''dime'' means is old school, but every generation needs to learn. Thinkin' bout ''my old time used to be.'' What blues is all about. Bittersweet....still a rush.
10 cents was the price at phone booths back in the day, there all gone now!
Yea there's nothing to learn. Everbody knows what a Dime is. And most should be able to figure out he's talkin about using the pay phone.
Not really much to learn. 🤷♂️
Got a dime Brother! If I only had a dime for everytime I was asked that growing up.
This version is excellent, Boz is a master, his voice is awesome. The musicians bring the song to the next level, and of course Drew Zingg on guitar shows his great talent on it. Top notch!
