- Boz Scaggs in performance at Montreal's Place des Arts, June 30, 2013.
The band:
Drew Zingg (guitar), Mike Logan (B-3 organist), Eric Cystal (sax, guitar, keyboards and molodica), Rich Patterson (bass) and Lamar Carter (drums).
Tuneage: LOAN ME A DIME
- first recorded and released on his self titled debut entitled Boz Scaggs in 1969, produced by Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner. The signature song, the 12 minute Fenton Robinson composition Loan Me A Dime, featured some serious guitar work by none other than Duane Allman (Nov. 20, 1946 -- Oct. 29, 1971), who was unknown at the time. The 22 year old then-unknown Southern boy made quite an impression to some important people. And within the two remaining years of his life Duane Allman made quite an impression on everyone else. The meteoric rise begins here.
Bio:
After first finding acclaim as a member of the Steve Miller Band, singer/songwriter Boz Scaggs went on to enjoy considerable solo success in the 1970s. Born William Royce Scaggs in Ohio on June 8, 1944, he was raised in Oklahoma and Texas, and while attending prep school in Dallas met guitarist Steve Miller. Scaggs joined Miller's group the Marksmen as a vocalist in 1959, and the pair later attended the University of Wisconsin together, where they played in blues bands like the Ardells and the Fabulous Knight Trains.
Scaggs returned to Dallas alone in 1963, fronting an R&B unit dubbed the Wigs; after relocating to England, the group promptly disbanded, and two of its members -- John Andrews and Bob Arthur -- soon formed Mother Earth. Scaggs remained in Europe, singing on street corners. He also recorded a failed solo LP in Sweden, 1965's Boz, before returning to the U.S. two years later. Upon settling in San Francisco, he reunited with Miller, joining the fledgling Steve Miller Band; after recording two acclaimed albums with the group, Children of the Future and Sailor, Scaggs exited in 1968 to mount a solo career. With the aid of Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner, Scaggs next secured a contract with Atlantic. Sporting a cameo from Duane Allman, 1968's soulful Boz Scaggs failed to find an audience despite winning critical favor, and the track "Loan Me a Dime" later became the subject of a court battle when bluesman Fenton Robinson sued (successfully) for composer credit. After signing to Columbia, Scaggs teamed with producer Glyn Johns to record 1971's Moments, a skillful blend of rock and R&B which, like its predecessor, failed to make much of an impression on the charts.
Scaggs remained a critics' darling over the course of LPs like 1972's My Time and 1974's Slow Dancer, but he did not achieve a commercial breakthrough until 1976's Silk Degrees, which reached number two on the album charts while spawning the Top Three single "Lowdown," as well as the smash "Lido Shuffle." Released in 1977, Down Two Then Left was also a success, and 1980's Middle Man reached the Top Ten on the strength of the singles "Breakdown Dead Ahead" and "Jo Jo."
However, Scaggs spent much of the '80s in retirement, owning and operating the San Francisco nightclub Slim's and limiting his performances primarily to the club's annual black-tie New Year's Eve concerts. Finally, he resurfaced in 1988 with the album Other Roads, followed three years later by a tour with Donald Fagen's Rock and Soul Revue. The solo effort Some Change appeared in 1994, with Come on Home and My Time: The Anthology (1969-1997) both released in 1997. The newly energized Scaggs spent the next few years consistently releasing new material, including Here's the Low Down, Fade Into Light, Dig, and a collection of standards called But Beautiful. An expanded reissue of Silk Degrees and Runnin' Blue (a recording of a 1974 performance) appeared in 2007, and Speak Low saw him reinterpreting a number of jazz standards in 2008.
Scaggs toured as a member of the Dukes of September in 2012; the group's other principals included Michael McDonald and Donald Fagen. Scaggs emerged from his recorded silence in March of 2013 with the Steve Jordan-produced Memphis, a collection of original and cover tunes. Recorded at Willie Mitchell's Royal Studio in the city, the album was meant to reflect the heritage of the Southern soul tradition in the 21st century.

The most underrated Blues song ever. It brings out the essence and ethos of what Blues really is. I can listen to this repeatedly and never get tired of it!
Somebody loan that man a dime!! LAWD have Mercy!!!
I was 7 rows from the stage. This song blew me away. Incredible.
Pretty much one of the best live blues performances of all time. Makes me cry every time.
Especially if you realize that the one you left behind was the one.
Boz is amazing hope you all have a chance to see him live ❤️
I hope box has some island retreat thst he can play this song at every night. ! I didn’t realize that he was a tasty guitarist. Such a special lonely tune expressing the loneliness of a mans soul.
OMG don't come close! I graduated high school in 1973 in Layton Utah, bought this 8 track, Duane Allman Anthology and this tune kocked my azz...We traveled many miles together but these guys never left me...Thanks for such a timeless memory...
So glad that someone captured this on film. Haha
Saw Boz Aug 1, 2015 in R.I., Still does a good job on this one, A life long ABB fan, the Duane connection is why I got the tix.
A couple nits. Boz Scaggs and his manager specifically asked for Duane Allman to work on this session. It was a problem as Duane was touring with the Allman Brothers. Duane was very well known at the time. The original is such a great recording because Duane is reunited with the Swampers, the Muscle Shoals House band. Duane agreed to come back for a day or two and is recorded on several of the best tracks on this album (everything is better with Duane on it). There was not enough room in the recording room for Duane and all of the others so the story is Duane sat on top of a toiler in a half toilet down the hall with his guitar and headphones on. Boz and the production team told Duane to take the lead and Duane created and this masterpiece. After Bozz stopped singing and Duane was laying it down the producer when running down the hall to give Duane the sing to keep going, and so glad he did. Without Duane, this would have been a 3.20-minute song.
In 1978 there was a remaster of the original and it is well worth seeking out as it brings Duane more forward and some of the other wonderful parts including the organ work.
Thank you for that info. Knew about Duane playing on original (great), but did not know this story.
How disgusting that advertisers feel they can interrupt a song like this! Shame on them!
just gets better and better like good wine :)
Mr.Boz Scaggs Ladies and Gentlemen..... :-)
Saw him in the 70’s. He is incredible in concert
Sheri Peters Me too. Played before The Allman Brothers couldn't decide who put on the better show just fantastic music.
@@johndanser4180 I was there too. Doug from San Jose/Santa Cruz
🎼Masterpiece🎼
Indeed!
Fenton Robinson wrote and recorded this song in 1967.
Duane 🙏
Why and how do people remain seated and motionless when listening to this incredible music; have they no soul ?
It's called respect.
Great blues song. Turn up the sound and enjoy.
I did!!
love THE ORGAN MAN. WHAT A TUNE ? ONLY THE BOZ COULD DO THIS ONE!
Zingg went the strings!!! With Boz everything is perfect..he's a brilliant guitarist too!
saw this show in worcester mass.... this was the encore and final song... thanks boz
Great write-up; you've done a superb job of honouring this song and Scaggs and Robinson and all of the current band and the players who made Boz's original version so amazing. Really appreciated. ...and great to see this version from my adopted home town, home to the world's best jazz festival, The Montréal Jazz Festival.
I've seen Boz a number of times, but the first time, in 1970, in the UCSD gym, was the best. Tickets were--believe it or not--50 cents. I was right next to the front of the stage, and on LSD, so it was--pardon the expression--very "trippy."
What a blast, what an amazing song and performance!
wow (understatement).
Thank U Glendolyn, for the Email this morning . I love this man and cannot count how many times I have seen him in concert..........wow there is a God !!!!!!!!
Bozs guitar player working hard up there. That was almost 8 yrs ago. Hope we still a little of Boz.
This should have well over 1,000 likes. Very sweet.
Steve Balee after 62k views, it should have over 60k likes!
Sunday evening red wine delight !
So great.
Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of his hit in the 70's
Boz is awesome. Better as time goes by...I go all over the country to see him. But I miss "the girls"...Barbara Wilson and Miss Monet!!!!
❤
the one and only...............................
trés bon j'adore
That Hammond organ......
Great vocals...He's only 70 something years old.
Such a good song
nice version
BOZ!!!!!!!!!
Boz really shares the stage.
Relaxant!!! :-)
WOW
Play it Zing 🎸
couple of nice old Gibson guitars
I guess Boz wrote this back when pay phones were 10 cents.
Who is playing at the 12 minute mark? He’s amazing!
Drew zingg
@@rcb1798 thank you.
That is a fine guitar Boz is playing. Wonder what model?
david gilmore
Looks smaller than a ES-355 that was his axe in the past. Maybe a 359? Upscale model of Gibson’s ES-339…jus’ guessing here.
.♥இڿڰۣ-
Sorry, I fell aseep, are they still playing.
so thats what my exact es335 can really sound like @5:00 mark.
Gotta love an ES335 in the right hands (no disrespect intended).
Great audience there ...All quiet ,just appreciating whats on offer...So much more entertaining than rows of stupid school girls screaming ,standing with their arms in the air...Makeing sure no one sees or hears a thing..
Bad concert experiences I gather.😉
miss the brass section.
That's exactly why I like this version better than the Duane Allman version. On the DA version the brass got way too loud and way too in the way. Heavy brass and the blues don't exactly go together.
Sigh..........:)
Damn autocorrect.
Love Boz but no where close to the original!
This guy was flippin amazing.
Isn't that Dave Gilmore to the right @ 10:00 on.
That's Drew Zingg on lead guitar. Drew tours a lot with Boz Scaggs, and has been in Steely Dan, and played with many notable musicians. Look for some TH-cam vids with him!
