- All the other TH-cam files are for individual songs, or in separate parts, so I thought I would share the whole performance.
Apologies if this offends anyone or any organisation, but the show's no longer commercially available (...Dave Clark, why?) and is so good it just needs to be seen!
He was Holy. Us Georgia hillbillies knew a man when we saw him. Absolutely real deal. Keen horseman. Good farmer work ethic was beyond control .100% real deal. Beautiful man.
❤❤❤❤👑👑👑👑💯
His widow never remarried… she stated “how could I !???”
You are so lucky to see him. I was hoping to hear "tramp' here
And they call today's R&B. This is soul R&B all performed by the greatest ever . Otis, Eric and Chris . What a time for real music.
A man 👻
He sounds as if he is in the studio while it live.what a talent. No computer no voice editor. Just pure voice
This is real soul
One of a kind
yes bro. real soul lives and breathes the _______ spirit. PEACE AND LOVE.
One of the best live performances in all history? I say YES.
Sounds as good or better than his recorded albums.
This and the James Brown TAMI Show performance are the best live TH-cam performances.
Chris Farley, with the, "scream," at 18:46.
Correction: Chris Farlowe.
Otis Redding. He's like a tornado of sound, energy and joy. Blows me away every time I watch him.
Yes!
Such a soulful voice. Very moving.

Yes!!!!!
WOW. At the 19:00 mark, Eric Burdon is looking at Otis and thinking "bloody hell, Im singing with Otis Redding" Brian Jones once said after seeing Otis live, "the Stones are a great live band, but you couldn't pay me a million dollars to follow Otis on stage" My fave singer ever. He's gives it his all, he's passionate and he's honest. No B/S. Aspiring singers, take note of said qualities.
Eric is the one who persuaded the producer to give Otis the gig, i know this won't sit well with Otis purists but at the time Burdon was much the bigger name.
@@lechatel 1- where did I criticize Eric Burdon? 2- Where did I say Otis was bigger then The Animals.
I love the Animals, but I am positive that even Eric Burdon would say that Otis was the superior artist. It’s not even close. That has nothing to do with being a purist or not. Health and happiness
This is easily the greatest live performance ever seen on tv. The band are amazing, especially the drummer, the other singers, Farlowe and Burdon are excellent but just support for the man himself. Unforgettable ,what a performer!!!
The energy is just off the charts. Unbelievable performance.
Watched it broadcast live in 1966 as student at Strawberry Hill, Twickenham.
I’m nearly 76 now.
Still think it’s the best music TV show I’ve ever seen.
❤
holy of holy
RSG was a very special programme...way ahead of it's time. I remember watching this in late summer 1966....I could not believe my good fortune. The King....Otis....the amazing Stax backing (actually probably fronting!).....and the only two blue eyed soul singers worthy of being on stage. Legendary. Respect.
You lived those times and now. Can watch it again and again...
This is awesome!!! All I've ever seen of Otis is from the Monterrey International Pop Festival '67.
RSG Rules!!!

Without Eric Burdon Otis wouldn't havw got the gig. Eric was an established star on the show and Vicki Wickham- who booked the talent for RSG - said Eric had been persuading her over and over to get Otis on. (He wasn't really mainstream at all at that point in the UK.) Eventually she caved and this is the result.
One of the best live performances recorded
I remember watching this when it was broadcast and all these years later, I still think it's one of the best performances I've ever seen. Otis was on fire, that day.
They turned England out!!!
Just phenomenal! Those of us who grew up in the ‘60’s were so blessed with the incredible music that was being created back then.
You're right there, we were SO optomistic back then!
💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
I performed All Otis Redding music in Albany CA during this period at the Starlite club with full band . I played the trumpet. Still performing today, playing guitar John Denver Music over 45 years and my greatist performers today
This isn't just entertainment, this is art. A massive artefact of the 20th century. Total genius. And you can dance to it!
For music and culture, the '60s Ruled!!! End of quote. Glad I got to live 'em!!! Thanx.
LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
One of THE finest gigs I've ever seen. Otis, his band, the audience. Everything.
RIGHT?!? I cannot believe some people actually downvoted this. :-(
We sure are missing out today. Hey, is the band Booker T & the MG's? How chilled, awesome and tight are they?
This was London. England 1966, baby!!!!
This was not called 'Swinging London' for nothing, from 63' to 68'.
I watched this as a 14 year old and was blown away, yes Otis, Chris and Eric were on top form but play this again and listen to the band, oh lordy...the stars of the show.
Again... Thank u TH-cam allowed a whole new generation to have a little taste of what was.
Absolute king of soul 🔥🔥, Forever great Otis redding 💪💪
How can anybody dislike Otis?...
+Cindy Gonzalez because they are assholes
+Cindy Gonzalez if they dislike God, its not that Otis is God, of course, but he is of God
hope God can have me shaking my ass,and if not he'll call Big"O out to do it!
Pat Coughlin (:
Otis redding was 24 when he died. He was a professional singer from the age of 14 to 24,and there is nobody better. He e en understands how good a singer Chris Farlow is, and not understand that
I just remember watching this show when it originally went out. I was 8 years old and had a childhood illness, measles I think and my mum allowed me to watch. I think it planted a seed for the love of soul, jazz and funk which still lives in me.
I've thought for a long time now that I didn't need to hear My Girl anymore since it's so overplayed...and then comes *this* version! Killer band and Otis just smashes it...and just like that I've got tears rolling down my cheeks...pure gold!
True man
I sang this version (badly) to my daughters when they were little, it’s on my funeral playlist.
Wow! I cannot believe Mr. Redding was only in his early twenties! RIP! All that talent at a young age.
This is Power ..undiluted raw soul
When Otis was in the room, things just always took a turn for the FUNKY. All hail, The King Of Soul, taken from us far too soon.

How the hell did we end up with Rappers!! ….enough to make you weep!
With all due respect, Sir, you Or others, spent money on this crap, otherwise it would have faded into oblivion, By Now. In other words, stop supporting bullshit. The youngsters? Maybe they don't know any better, but you old head's? No excuse...

Wonderful Show. 54 years later I still remember riding my Lambretta up to my friend Grahams house on the way to college and him coming to the door and telling me Otis was dead, just like yesterday, makes me feel just as sad today as it did that day.
😢❤🙏🏼👑
Love otis
I was born in my 260Z my father always had Two,,66' convertible convertible mustangs, and of course, the 8 Track tape player, HAULING ASS UP AND DOWN I-95,,,, OTIS REDDING BLASTING,,,!!!!!!!!!
My mother told me and nineteen sixty-seven my mother my aunt and my dad was sitting in a convertible Ford Fairlane, and the News came over the radio but Otis Redding died and my mom told me that my dad and mom aunt Cried,,, and yes of course they were drinking, 🍸😎😉,
I can go with any running song verbatim nearly perfectly, not going to be perfect, because no one could ever be Otis Redding
.. As a matter of fact, Otis Redding and James Brown, were the epitome of soul in 1960s, (often in competition but nothing like today they had respect) R.I.P. DADDY. YOU REST IN PEACE DADDY AND ALL MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE OUT THERE..... I got this 💗💗💗💗💗-----thank you BPUY
Listen to this drummer and bass player! What a killer show!
i think thats al jackson jr from booker t and mgs
wesley andary Al Hackson on Drums. Donald Duck Dunn on bass?
That might be Al Jackson on drums (don't think so but I could be wrong) but that definitely isn't Duck Dunn on bass (he's white!!).
WOODY WOODSON ON DRUMS !
That’s my grandfather Elbert “Woody” Woodson on the drums ❤️❤️❤️
Otis Redding and Eric Burden live from London? Can it get any better than this...in the sixties we knew it was the best of times for music and will never be better! How right we were.
♥
i agree
I keep coming back to this vid- have for years. Just makes me feel so happy. Otis, Little Richard, and Wayne Cochran all came from Macon, GA. This is TALENT. No pyrotechnics, flashy stage effects, or modern concert amenities, just great music from legendary artists.
My favorite video of all time, great stuff. I particularly like just how thrilled Burden is to perform with Otis, pure joy.
Hands down, best video in the internet.
Yes dude!
OMG...so right!
tru..my 8th time wtching..
On point!
I approve this message!
The fantastic Otis Redding. One of a kind brilliant singer and performer. Totally electric shows. Love the drummer in this RSG London show. Otis is sorely missed by all soul music lovers. RIP Otis.
Oh yea Give the drummer some . Then give him some more!
Drummer’s name is Elbert Woodson I think. He is absolutely slaying it.
Otis set the gold standard. That was a breathtaking show. Chris Farlowe was amazing. Must have been an honour and a privilege to witness.
I'm only twenty and I grew up to this music. He feels every word and note he voices.... Real music. My kids will grow up on this Otis Redding., Bill Withers., Sam
Cooke., Al Greene., Percy., Ben E King., and the many other legends... It builds strength of character.
Tienes razón cuando mencionas a todos esos grandes como Al Green, S. Cooke, B. Ling, Bill Withers.
Perdona mi mal inglés!
Beautiful! Thank you for that post.
2021 come on don't let this music fade away - don't let people divide us - I'm from the usa, fell in love with the Beatles and meanwhile your falling in love Otis - we're music loving people. Man the bass on these songs...whew!! Eric's so cool ~
The drummer is effortless and impeccably tight!!
when he starts with "4 on the snare" patterns, the feet must tap !
His kick is insane.
Put a stop watch on how much 'down' time the band had. What incredible talent. I think they might have become Booker T. and the MGs later.
Awesome performance..❤
What a fabulous show! And none of it mimed! That band was so hot! No monitors and a rudimentary PA made up for by truckloads of talent. One of the greatest events in pop music TV history.
....Yep.
Outside of James Brown and The Famous Flames, Otis led the most exciting band to
grace a stage in the mid-60s. The Stax house band of Booker T and The MGs were
utterly unstoppable during this period.
With Al Jackson on drums and Donald Dunn on bass, this was one of the greatest rhythm sections ever recorded. Anybody who saw Otis live in London in 1966 have all
said it was a life-changing experience. After nearly fifty years, it is easy to see why.
+Rob Jones In my humble opinion otis and the stax house band (Booker T and The MGs!)were better than Brown and if he had lived would have been the biggest soul star ever.peace out
+T Hemphill Was and Is
Except this isn't the MGs.
Or the Memphis Horns.
I did, twice in the same day, at at Forest Gate East London. It was an awesome show x 2. What a loss.
I don't have words. My heart is racing. I'm transcended. Thank you, thank you for sharing this ❤❤❤
This was a genuine star! The real King of Soul.....You may keep all the others. Otis was the man!
This is a nice concert. I love it. everyone is enjoying themselves.
Eric absolutely loving it during Hold On.
Wow.....priceless stuff!! The band is amazing, the drummer especially is just killing it! And what can you say about the GREAT Otis Redding, yet another astonishing talent who was taken away from us much too soon.....
The band is amazing. It's fun to watch and listen to them jam out. That performance of Respect is priceless.
"Weasels Ripped my Flesh"... niiiiiiice!
getting down right Funky on I can't turn you loose, luv this song.
This was a fucking amazing concert even by 2019 standards! The amount of talent and energy in this show is ridiculous!! Would have loved to experience this live.
Me, too!
Who thumbs down this? This is gold. Pretty cool performance and line up
Only someone with cloth ears could give this a thumbs down.
White nationalists and other racists are not too fond of this kind of music. It's the devil's music, don't you see? LOL.
The Usual Suspects lol🤪
Probably a rapper...
That band is everything! They were on it!
Absolutely 100%
Absolutely 110%
Classic, perhaps the best twenty three minutes of television ever.
True statement!
Absolutely...I could scarcely believe my eyes and ears when I saw this for the first time. Interestingly, many people, from hearing him, assumed Chris was black. Otis: no doubt at all....The King.
There hasn't and never will be any singer like Otis Redding. The very first record I owned was Shake on the blue stax label. I was 12 years old when Otis died, it was listening to Shake that got me into Northern Soul and inspired me to become a DJ and I worked at various clubs in and around Manchester. Thank you for posting this piece of history, a tribute to the god of soul. stay safe J.
Thank you for this. The chaotic energy in these performances is a far cry from today's carefully choreographed shows. And the finale is explosive. Best thing I've seen in a long time.
All three were amazing here. Otis was the greatest male voice of all time IMO. God bless you all
How amazing is this show...how powerful!
What I wouldn't give to have been at this amazing show! I was only 12, and grew up in the U.S., but still...The BEST live EVER!!
sat here watching this 49 years later and its still fookin great
+loopy twat I remember standing in my leather coat watching RSG waiting to get out on my Lambretta "The weekend starts here"
steve ascott I always had lambrettas ,never vespers ,,,,ride motorcycles now though
This takes me back. I think the Birmingham 'Mods' favoured Lambrettas (mine was a TV200) and the London Mods favoured Vespas. Don't know if this was right though. ... ride racing bikes now !!!!!
charlie drake sx200 for me,,,,vespas seemed a bit ugly lol
Chris Farlowe just blows you away. Otis was a force of nature:):)
Tears are streaming down my face ! I so wish I was there !
Absolutely joyous from beginning to end. The finale just gives you goosebumps and makes you smile!
I watched him practice this show at the Macon Recording Studio for two nights prior to doing this show on the road...... I miss my soul brother so much.......
+RON Dennis Wheeler fantastic footage, you can see how excited this crowd is and I think he was pretty unknown here but The Ready Steady Go thought he deserved a special. They also highlighted Motown
All motown music was in agreement also.
RON Dennis Wheeler wow you're blessed
Fucking hell, it just gets better and better...the 60s were where it was at.
I never missed one episode of RSG. Remember watching this Masterpiece! Pure Joy! Fabulous Memories !
The one and only Otis Redding . RIP
One of the all time greats,immortals!
The same here i was 7.The day i fell in love with soul
Amazing a whole show devoted to one artist at 6pm on a friday night
The great Otis never bettered
WOW!
JUST... WOW!
Please let heaven be like this!
I just love this guy
I don't know how I managed to miss this when it was shown back in the 60s, but it was way before the era of being able to just press a button to see a repeat! Certainly the best live music show of that period.
Oh dear, this dates us all if we remember it! I do. I remember just having to watch RSG before the weekend to check on the music, the fashions and the latest dances. You just could NOT afford to be out of date when you ran with the in crowd!! But, hey, they were great times, best time to be young.
The Rolling Who. Otis you just took it to another level that cannot even be surpassed by the originals.
I don't know how I ended here, but man that's beautiful!!!
Had the privilege of seeing Otis live at the old Regal Theater in Chicago, but even on TV he's perhaps the most joyous performer I've ever seen.
Thank you so much for posting this great show. Eric and Chris were incredibly brave and were great, no chance of outshining the man himself though
Genuine talent, pure awesomeness on stage. Some so-called artists out there could learn a bit!
All these 'modern stars' of 2023 of what they call 'music' today.

Someone once asked Bill Graham who or what was the greatest musical act he had ever seen. Without a second of hesitation he said hands down Otis Redding.
I knew Bill from his earliest days at the Fillmore, one of foundational giants and a good guy.
Timeless. What a singer and performer. The world lost a great talent when Otis passed on. This concert, the energy, the delivery, the presence is incredible.🎵.
R.I.P Mr Redding.
🙏❤️.x
I'm of that generation and the first record i bought was Otis. The music i hear now makes me laughing. This performance together with Monterey are the best
What a show. Thanks for posting.
Surely the best 24 minutes of televised music ever produced? It was a bitter blow when RSG was discontinued at the end of 1966.
,I think he was the best ever and I stiill l9ve him to this day R iP
Otis Redding
Couldn’t agree more
It's kind of odd. I tend to like today's music. Current music. Blah blah blah. But one of my favorite CDs to blast in my car... Is The Best of Otis Redding. Good lordy. That man could sing. Just love that man so much.
AMEN I AGREE.
I feel very lucky watching Ready Steady Go yes I was very very lucky to go to 4 of the shows back then.
Sweet mercy, what a line-up. Otis delivers, as usual, and Eric Burdon was fantastic. I didn't know who Chris Farlowe was, but he is proof you can't judge a book by its cover.
Tremendous show. ♫ Thank God it's preserved for future generations of music lovers.
Just awesome from start to finish! Thanks a million for finding and posting the whole show. I'd only seen relatively small, tantalisingly fantastic, parts before. I'm not entirely sure if it is all live as I thought RSG was mainly mimed, but it all looks live to me. Either way, it has to be one of the greatest performances ever!
Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them.
Always remembered Otis- The Greatest.
can't turn you loose.. can't sum up the 60's any better than this.. priceless!
The best episode / show i have ever watched. Farlow & Burdon tried their best and was pretty good, but Otis was the Don and no one could touch him. Just pure genius.
To call Eric Burdon's vocals here 'pretty good' is incredibly crass.
I remember watching this, and then going to see the Stax tour when it came to Leicester in 1967. Didn't we have some great music. I've often wondered what Otis would have done later in his career. Such a sad loss. Thanks for putting this up.
As fabulous now as it was then. Priceless. i have just played it 4 times. Loved Ready Steady Go
Why is this not on dvd somewhere? Truly breathtaking no matter how many times I watch it. Big O in all his pomp and magnificent s
It is available, cos I've got it.
You know Eric Burdon was thrilled to sing with that amazing band backing him.
R
Amazing
I remeber watching this at the time, fantastic then, fantastic now!
In this day of auto-tuned mediocrity. It's great to be reminded that there use to be real music and real performers!!!
What a singer !!! Do it Big O. I feel the heat.
Brilliant! The best version period!
The last song tho... On fire, way before my time, but WHAT a concert!!! The crowd is wild. SoulChaos
Love this, love the three dancers led by the brilliant Sandi Sargent and love to see all the mods looking great and loving Otis. Have to say the blonde by Otis when he sings pain in my heart makes me laugh, she looks great, she dress's great and dances without one spark of ability lol. What a show this was, remember watching it at the time and being stunned by the whole thing. Shame the James Brown special was lost because that was brilliant as well.
A donner le tournis, incroyable de vitalité, vraiment un des rois du soul.
The britts knew long before we did that the greatest soul sing ever was the big o. Mr Otis redding. Long live the king!!!!
The Big O was one of the best. He died too young, he wasn't alive to see Dock of the Bay, become a#1 Cross Over Hit. He had jus got started.
@@patfitzpatrick4209 Totally agree. Made me become a musician.. Outstanding band started s whole new sound that Atlantic Records copied.For sure the most soulful voice!
everytime i watch this. joy takes hold. otis the best ever 😘
I was only a year old when he tragically died in a plane crash. I went to school at an early age at 6 or 7. I remember when my dad went to work I would listen to his albums. The Shaft soundtrack and Otis Redding Live and Europe albums were the first 2 I could remember listening too and remember being fascinated by both. Watching Otis live performances now is like discovering him all over again. I'm just amazed at how electric he was. He was awesome. I get a joy watching these old clips of him performing. Otis was the best man. Respect.💯
Wow! This is a great find! Otis was definitely the best! Thanks so much for this fabulous upload :)
Eric Burdon doing "Hold On" - as good as it gets if Sam & Dave aren't doing it. A true legend whose performances are are still quality.
This is a straight up classic from the beginning to the end! Every performance is simply awesome!
Thanks a million for this upload. What a fabulous show.
my god.... whata show!!!!
Hello from Vienna, Austria!!! Thanks for this upload!!! A great powerful Show by all musicians, dancers, and OTIS FOREVER!!! He's my favorite soulman of all times, still great to hear, what a power!!! Absolutely timeless!!!
