Can we all take a second to praise the boss man Maury Muehleisen. Holding down those melodic doublestops and sick harmonies... songs not the same without him.
Let's take 10 seconds
the best backup of music maury muehleisen
Jim would be less without him
100%. Well said. Fits in perfectly. He sung and played in a way that didn't make it about him. RIP to a master along with Jim.
I was going to say the same.. the guy is the most underrated guitar player of all time imho.
Only discovered Jim Croce recently thanks to a Spotify radio and this has been the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard. Cannot stop listening to Jim
How old are you?
Me too
Brilliant
Was just thinking of all the music we never heard due to early demises. There's something in my eye, you know it happens everytime. You can keep the dime.
What a beautiful soul he was.
song gets me crying every time
I loved your songs, you are always missed, RIP Jim Croce.
Jim Croce's Song are Gold and priceless.
Such a great singer, amazing 😢
Oh, how I miss "Jimmy Joe". I cried so hard the morning I woke & my little red round AM Panasonic radio announced his death as I was dressing for H.S--I ached in my heart so bad & could barely make it through that day. I was a freshman, and his death changed me. I turned quiet, felt like I was wearing cement shoes, Maybe I just was feeling the loss of so much love I had for such a man I admired so. I sure hope I will get to sing with him in Heaven...love him always.
I was also in HS.
I had a quote from Time in a Bottle in the yearbook under my photo.
Many lost a girlfriend to a friend and have taken a girl from a friend. Bittersweet song.
I grew up listening to this song and Croce's wonderful melodies. It was a very sad day for me when he passed.
Rick Beato and Mary Spender dissected this song so perfectly. Jim Croce is gone but his songs are timeless and meaningful to generations to come and BEYOND ✨💎🎶🎶💎 Than you Rick Beato ✨
upper darby proud brother....wish u were here....
This pure love of music
It's a shame the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame is a business and who gets in is determined by more by financial factors than anything else. Croce belongs in the Hall.
Perfect combination... Amazing...🤗😘🥰
Awesome talent!
amazing chords
11-27-2022, love it so much.
Fucking insane, can't believe how well put together this tune is
Well god damn.. if that wasn’t perfect
What gets me about "Operator" is that it's in a major key. The lyrics and phrasing just intensify the heartbreak.
Croce was able to tell a story in a straightforward way where no one was to blame. As I have grown older, I realize that bad things "just happen" even if I do everything just "right."
Jim Croce had that sense of world weariness that made him seem like he was talking just to you.
Un grande scomparso troppo presto
MY BEST OLD EX FRIEND RAY..... A GUY SHE SAID SHE KNEW WELL AND SOMETIMES HATED....
😍
rate d nothing but hes ❤️😍 i see him as ❤️
The sycronised guitar playing is unbelievable, what a masterpiece!
🎸
That guy backing him up is a serious musician
@@yunotchotch maury muehleisen
Bob, 👍🏽🎯💯 absolutely ❤️
What a master guitar player to me, they complimented each other so welll🇨🇦👍
I was born in 1971, so this song reminds me of being really small with my mom and dad crusing in the Plymouth deep in the woods of the Ozarks. It's incredibly peaceful like a security blanket. Mom isn't doing well. Dad died in 2017. But this song gives me peace of mind.
71 here too.. No words.. My dad used to sing along with Leroy Brown when I was so young. We are going to miss you Jim.. Such a down to earth -blue jeans man.
Andrew...God Bless yor for your words. You move back in with Mom if you have to....lf you can. I am going through the same mess. Mom is falling down and we can't afford a home attendant. Prayers up. I do remember this song cruising with Mom and Poppa in his Buick Electra. Lol. Peace and love to All. I am Praying for you and yours Brother!!!! I was born in 1975! Music is timeless.
71 here....The love and beauty this song brings back makes me cry with warmth and happiness. So weird to be old enough to remember amazing beauty like this....
Born in 70. Remembering family road trips with the AM radio on...sending hugs out to all that are missing someone as much as I miss my Mom and Dad right now
I was also born in 1971. I heard this song on my older brother's Jim Croce album. I have loved this music ever since. Croce was so talented and we lost him much too soon.
Two guitars no orchestra, the words were all that mattered.
I loved both of these men. Jim was amazing. He died so young, He is as missed now as when he was alive!
When great lyrics meant so much more than now!
Id give my last beer to see these play around a bonfire today.
This song describes perfectly what it feels like when you want to contact someone that you loved and still love, but they've moved on, and you want to want to wish them well, but you can't because it hurts to damn bad, so you don't even make the phone call.
Fuck, dude.
I was able to do just that about a decade ago.
Plus when the person left you for your best friend 🥲
Yep
Yes❤
Wow. No drums. Nothing but strings and voice telling a sad and beautiful story.
We are lucky to have this gorgeous music available to our tired souls.
I agree and I could not have said it better than you did. THANK YOU!
Yes indeed Cory Green! Yes its clichè to say they don't make'em like they used to. In this case they really don't, Jim Croce and those artist had sincerity in their songs, it makes you feel something because these old timers meant it!
Yes...total quality. Really sets the computerized sounds back into the category of BS junk...technocrats...auto tune put to shame. Maury Muehleisen was really the other half of Jim Croce, and I think Jim knew that when it came to performing and recording...truly these two are way above the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bull crap.
OMG he was gone too soon. but isn't that how it goes?
rory gallagher
I was born in 74, and my Dad was a guitar playing music teacher (k-12) who loved Jim Croce. If I close my eyes and sit very still while I listen to these songs it makes me feel like Dad’s in the room with me.❤
God bless you & your dad!❤
You made me cry. I miss my dad
amen❤
🙏
❤ beautiful ❤️
Just one of the most beautiful songs ever made. Timeless. Why did you take Jim from us so soon? Maybe I should thank God for loaning him to us for a little while. He reached people in ways no one else could.
The idea of a bearded God sitting up on a cloud making decisions about humans on Earth? As silly as Santa Claus.
His songs like others, were the great story tellers in song.
Every time I got in my 69 GTO, a Croce tape went into the 8 track player. September 20, 1973 was our opening senior year football game vs our rival and, after learning of Jim Croce’s death that day, I played the worst game of my high school career. Jim Croce’s music was a huge part of my life.
I recall during some rocky times just out of high school sitting in my car on graveyard shift writing all the word to “I’ll have to say I love you in a song” down for my junior high school girlfriend. We’ve been married now nearly 48 years and God willing, will be together at our fiftieth high school reunion in a few weeks driving that same 69 GTO. Maury and Croce’s music touched me like no other, that is until I found Casting Crowns and Chris Tomlin later in life.
Beautiful brother! Stay the course!
Magnífica historia saludos desde México ciudad!!
It's sad to think about how much music we were robbed of when these two amazing men passed away so young... 😔
Lost forever❤😢
His son is following in his footsteps ❤
They don't make music like this anymore.
it's not the way to see things. i prefer to think that someone or something decided that they had given us what they had to.
maybe something better awaits them, somewhere else
❤ very true gone to soon but their legacy lives on 😢
One of the most perfect songs ever written.
He had many "perfect" songs. Such a shame he's all but forgotten today.
True
I remember him. I also remember when his plane went down. His story & his music still brings tears to me. Best wishes to you.
"Yes ma'am""" 😇💞 I remember "" first hearing 👂this song 🎵 when I was younger over #40 years ago """""" 🥰😎
Yeahyaright❗🙁💔
Anyone here in 2024 reminiscing?
Me
Absolutely
Big time! Jim Croce was one of my Dad's favorites 😪
I listen and transport
I play guitar because my father played it
"I think about the love that I thought would save me"
This breaks me up inside every time I hear it. Ain't that the truth...
❤
When you're a slave in your relationship, it hurts to look back at yourself being in a pathetic position just because of your emotional deficiency.
Amazing lyrics. It makes us think. So beautiful.
Amazing lyrics. It makes us think. So beautiful.
He was just too pure. He didn't die young, he just got called home early.
That's the way it goes.
❤
Your comment hit me hard! .. thank you
Very Spiritual choice of words. We honor your Soul.
Wow, choked me up w/ this 1. Amen
It should have been a crime for the camera not to get maury's fingerwork
Learning his parts on guitar currently, he was incredibly talented.
He was a fantastic guitar player....
So true the the guitars is classic as well
@@isaacjoseph2918 so true indeed 🎸
Remember when singers sounded the same live compared to their records?
Yes I miss that!
I think it was called talent
To be frank, there are not many 29 year olds who could write let alone sing a song with such precision, poise, harmony, vocals and just plain talent.
He was truly gifted!
Hard to believe he died at 30 . He looks a lot older yeah , but he sings with the wisdom and soul of a 50-60 something who had already lived a long life .
@@freddy7304 WAY too young 😞
@@freddy7304on one hand I thought if Jim was going to die young, he might as well have died a little sooner and joined the famous 27 club.
But then I thought about it and I know that Jim did a whole lot of living in those couple extra years and I’m sure he wouldn’t trade that for the world. I hope that you and I should all have our own couple years like that
Josh Turner and the other favorites do the song justice. He along with Toni Lindgren are elite guitarists, though in their 30's now th-cam.com/video/1oP2X0yLfHY/w-d-xo.html

So simple.
Damn it. I'm 47, at work and there's something in my eyes.....
Ya know it doesn't happen all the time till you're 59 haha - jeez just slipped a disc writing that
I remember my dad playing this album on his stereo and being 6 or 7. Good music never fails. I've always wondered how big he could have become
Same...was not expecting that. 💪
@@garygalingeras a kid I remember my father played a funny song about how “you can keep the dime” and only decades later did I realize this was the song and how much wisdom is in it
You know it happens every time ...
The harmonies, the little lead lines, these two were a great team. Haven't heard many live performances that clean
These guys were one in a million! Like The Beatles, this will never happen again... Maybe in Heaven!
The only other person I've seen like this is Gordon lightfoot in the early days with Red Shea. They were a good duo too
The other voice /guitar player name please?

Almost 50 years ago now. Truly a timeless classic. RIP Jim and Maury.
I'm 28 and have discovered JC relatively recently and i have to say that it brings me to tears that this man's life and talent was cut short in the way that it was. Maybe this comment will live beyond my lifetime like Croce's music does. This man's talent has inspired me in tremendous ways. RIP Jim Croce.
If you get a chance go see his son AJ in concert (and online). It was fabulous. I’ve been a fan of Jim since I was a child (I’m in my 50s). 💙
50 years today (20 September) Jim was taken so tragically and way too early. His music and voice still lives on after all these years. Legend 🙏🙏🙏
he had actually just sent a letter to his wife that he was planning to retire from show touring to live his life with her
Maury was on that plane, too… 🙏💔
@@TickleTipson169 Oh Dear GOD.
@@jbs256 Oh Dear God, is that true?
I am so sorry for Maury and his family.
@@bsoz9759 sadly, yes.
I don’t think I’m asking for a lot when I say I wish I could hear this song for the first time again.
I wish I could hear him again.
You kinda can, if you give some songs time. Then after awhile, you hear it fresh, thinking about where you were, what you were doing, how life was...

That’s crazy, this is literally the first song of his I’ve ever heard. Just now. It’s so good. I’ve actually never even heard of the guy until today. One song down, I’ll explore more . That was a good ass song!
More talent on that stage between those 2 wonderful musicians than there is is 90% of the music industry today.
100%
@@michaelbrutallyhonest6026 100%
Wrong. Just listen to music you like, there is no need to put anyone else down.
@@dreamcast.0 I didn't put anyone down I was simply stating my opinion of the modern music industry. Back before electronic storage of music and good old autotune and before the industry turned into a flesh market musicians made it on talent. That's all I was saying.
@@proudpapaof51970 They still do, you just have nostalgia goggles.
Jim will live forever.
RIP Maury Muehleisen
The beautiful guitar work was what first drew me to this song. But as I grew older, the depth of the lyrics is what really make it timeless. There is so much unstated backstory in them - and yet on the surface all it consists of is a one-sided conversation with a telephone operator.
Operators don't exist anymore, nor do phone booths. Dimes are probably going to be around for a while, but they are mostly an irrelevancy in today's world. But this song will never grow old.
For me it's the lyrics,always has been, love this song. Every time I here it, it just takes me back to a simpler time.
Yes...🦋💖🌟💖
Stunning performance, beautiful story telling!
One of the GREATEST storytellers ever 💕
He was the BEST at songs that INVOLVED!
It isn’t being performed. It recorded.
@@LemonsAndSalt69 you don't know what you are talking about. Artists performed live back in those days. Fool
This was my "gateway" song into the wonderful music of this man. I got a tear in my eye the first time I heard it - 40yrs on and my eyes still do the same.
It happens every time.
Sigh
A treasure lost. "Time in a bottle" is my all-time favorite.
Fortunately Jim lived to see his success take off (for about 14 months) and saw four hit singles and two hit albums on the charts before that fateful night in Sept, 1973. His guitarist with him, Maury Muehleisen was also killed in the crash.
No lip synching here, we see Jimmy as he was. From what I've heard Jim liked small venues so he could be close to his fans. You don't hear much of that from performers now days.
Not sure how/why I landed here randomly listening to music before I pick up the axe on a Saturday night (with zero intentions of playing something this laid back, lol!) but I'm glad I did. Oh, I've heard this plenty of times, always liked it, but never listened to this particualr version before, nor learned of the story of his guitarist that perished with him. Nor have I heard it with these ears at this age intentionally for the purpose of "hearing" all the parts. The guitarist's harmonies are great with this too. Nice, interesting finger picking progression as well
@@sgenetti77 I was in high school at the time and the guys who liked hard rock also liked Jim's music. There was no real explanation for it as they simply thought he was cool.
Jim was down to earth guy and I'm not sure he realized the magnitude of the success he was on the cusp of. At the time of his death, he still lived on the farm in Pennsylvania and was still wearing jeans and flannels and t-shirts. "Time in a Bottle" hit number one after his death at age 30.
@@sgenetti77 Reddit rabbithole brought me here, and same this was not the music route i planned on but its working lol.
@@jeddyhi I like the down to earth personalities like that. So many others are so full of themselves & I can't stand them. "Time In a Bottle" was a hit by accident. It was in a TV film called "She Lives" about a woman dying of cancer. It was aired one week before Jim's passing. They already released "I Got a Name" so buyers either had to wait til November or buy the LP to get the song. It was the last #1 of 1973. Great memories though sometimes sad in Jim's case. He had so much ahead of him.
“My best old ex friend Ray…” The layers of information in each line tells so much of a story. Every word placed perfectly. I get lost in this song every time. I can’t think of a time I didn’t mist up hearing it.
Me too, Rick. How he got some little comfort from the operator, glad to hear a friendly voice..even a stranger. Plus I think of my Dad, who loved Croce's music..and it's a lite shower 😪
The number on the matchbook is old and faded… the phone number used to stay at the same address, so she still lives at the same place with Ray. She hasn’t moved but that’s the same number she wrote down on a free matchbook years ago
A man she knew, and sometimes hated.
Ya gotta watch those "sometimes hated" kinda guys...LOL
@@terrymuzy7772 Yes indeed. BTDT.
Artificial intelligence may be able to create some mindless dance grooves, but it will never be able to write a song with this level of feeling, pathos, and understanding of what it means to love, and to lose. When you hear a song like this, you remember what it means to be human. Thank you for this wonderful music, Jim & Maury.
Yes it will. A.i will take over the entertainment industry in the next 3 years..
... ¿y N 0 T??
@@sleepybot3905 Taking over an industry has nothing to do with song writing of this caliber.

This is simply one of the best live performances ever created. RIP Jim & Maury.

Musicians are some of the most underated contributors to society . The best ones like Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen are irreplaceable in what they offer medicinally to people's spirit and souls .Two talented souls taken way too soon.

“Without music, life would be a mistake.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
Without spiritual/emotional things like music we would not be very different from animals
@@user-zv7yb4yp9g _Ohne Musik wäre das Leben ein Irrthum._ I especially love it for the evolutionary perspective (which comes to my whimsical mind in the English version), like if we and some other species hadn't evolved to make music, the whole adventure of having life on earth at all would have been a mistake! Of course that's silly, right? but sing something for Earth Day, which happens to be my birthday. I just sang the chorus of "'O sole mio" to a sunshower here in Seattle, USA. Now it's your turn ❤️🌎🕊️
Exactly! Well said, music is an integral part of my insides. It’s the way my heart and mind put words to feelings and allow me to emote things that are sometimes too difficult to make sense of.
Still listen to the original vinyl album at 66 years. His music goes straight to the heart. Living in the beautiful Ozarks and thankful to be here. Prayers for you.
Such a timeless song...
RIP 🙏🏼🕯️🙏🏼 Jim and Maury.
This song came out when I was in high school. Now it's 2024 and I'm listening to it for the seventh time in a row now.
this arab was amazing he sounded like an american hillbilly waving the flag with his asshole.
Thank you for your time
Still watching here in Ireland , 2022. A classic.
Watching in Detroit but my heart is in Kilkenny with my family
I hope you have a most blessed Easter Dale.

30 going on 60. Seems like he lived a pretty full life.

It's so hard to believe that it's been nearly 50 years ago that we lost Jim. I would have loved to see how his career would have been. RIP Jim Croce
I was born in March of that year, grew up admiring this artist. The world lost a great musician.
true musical genius, so lucky we had him
Basically, Jim Croce had made all kinds of plans while he was still around in the beginning of 1970s. In a letter to his wife Ingrid which arrived after his untimely death on September 20, 1973 from a plane crash, Jim told her that he had decided to quit music for good in order to stick to writing short stories along with movie scripts as a new career and withdraw from public life completely. Basically, Jim Croce was supposed to retire because he grew increasingly homesick as he was missing his family. Sadly, all of the wonderful plans that Jim Croce had would never materialize because of his unexpected death. May he rest in peace.

The time when music was pure. Missing it...
Everything about this is beautiful and incredible. But for anyone interested in songwriting, listen to 2:08. Now that, there, is a bridge.
Always loved Maury's perfect harmonies and stellar acoustic picking. These guys together were pure magic.

Maury Muehleisen was Jim's musical partner - writing, singing, and playing the lead guitar part in the studio and on stage. He died in the plane crash with Jim.
Who was he playing with before Jim another popular artist or group. I can't remember. Them.
"She's livin' in LA with my best old ex friend Ray."
I just love the way Jim played with words and meaning in his songs. He was more than a musician and song writer. He was an old fashioned Bard.
Jim, you are my favorite artist ever. I still miss you!❤❤❤
Se le nota en los ojos que era un gran hombre, su música definitivamente es un regalo.
Absolutely flawless
His eyes show a pained soul but his voice shows a beautiful soulful passion
I agree 1,000%!
His eyes , wisdom and burning fate. Look in the eyes of John Lennon, Martin King Jr., and Abraham Lincoln. That look, gentle wisdom .
you knew his pained soul.
This is the best description of his expressions singing his heartfelt songs, thanks man
All these years later, Jim Croce still makes me cry: "I've overcome the blow. I've learned to take it well."
Maury Meuhleisen, the musical genius behind the amazing storytelling by Jim Croce
he was a working musician for many years before his music got famous. Playing live like this and sounding this good is very hard. He died like a lot of musicians, traveling to a gig. Playing lead guitar here with him is Maury Muehleisen, who died with him not long after this was filmed.
So sad, such a tragic loss
I was 14 when he died. Loved his music so much and was only just beginning to understand how meaningful this song is. I still remember crying myself to sleep after hearing of his death. I still tear up. So many great singer-songwriters in the early 70s and he was the best of all!
@@brianb1440 I think Jim Croce was the first "45" single I purchased. Awesome musician!
Old enough to remember when this song came out.
I wonder how many listening today have no idea what, "You can keep the dime" means? 😊
I like these live versions more than the studio a lot of times now as I get older. More passions and feeling in them.
I remember going to his wifes restaurant in San Diego on 5th. Classy place that really kept his spirit. Live music on Valentine's Day with my girl dressed in red. Truly the meaning of time in a bottle.
Now thats what I call accompanying a song - wow, incredible talent from these two gents. Great song, but Maury's accompanying of it lifts it into the stratosphere. RIP Jim and Maury, sad day when they died.
One of the most beautiful & original songs ever written. 😇
Jim’s backup partner, as I understand it, was a Julliard trained musician who hired Jim as a backup player and then recognized that Jim was a better artist and followed Jim’s lead. They both died together but nobody remembers this guy’s name, including myself.
The way this guy looks at Jim, I don’t know if he’s studying Jim’s artistry or he’s in love, but either way I wish that someone looks at me that way someday and I hope these dudes enjoyed the time they had
