This band would make Corbetta proud! I got to meet Jerry Corbetta in 1974 when Sugarloaf played at the Buccaneer Club (The Buc!) in Greenville NC. I was in the Buc's 'house band' and Corbetta asked to see my B3. He also showed me his, and even let me try it out. His was 'customized' to do things other B3's couldn't.
Always loved the B3's!! Would love to have seen Sugarloaf back then. Neal Doughty (REO) had a tweaked one also and then Hammond gave him an XB3 in the 90's that was absolutely awesome. All the same tone generators but also had MIDI. Got to see his up close
Such an outstanding hit from the fall of 1970, they were so good, I can only imagine seeing them live like this. The B3 is fabulous! You can see the Leslie spinning around!
That... was absolutely fantastic. THAT is how a cover should be played. These guys looked so average but played like PROS. The singer/lead guitarist even sounded like Jerry Corbetta. Well done guys! Thanks to whomever taped this.
I know, I also play a real Hammond console organ with Leslie speaker in case the transport could be arranged. If not then the only solution to use the VB3 clone wired to my Hamichord... :-)
Wow they sound perfect ! The.very best band ever I have all their albums from back in 1969 ! MAESTROS GOD BLESS YOU ALL YOUR MUSIC LIVES FOREVER !!! Blessings and greetings from USA !
There is still a little good music out there. If you look give. Gary Clark Jr. A try he has the sound and talent close to Jimi Hendrix you might like him
That bass line just won't quit. Iconic. Really up there... not only as instantly recognizable, but it spans the distance between funk and rock. It's my 2nd favorite bass line and only CHIC's " Good Times" has it beat.
Guys...I love this - from a fellow musician, this is really well done. By far the best cover of this version of this great song that I've seen thus far on YT. All of you do a really great job. That real Hammond organ, the Leslie and his accurate chops totally make this shine. (Better than even Sugarloaf recent live!) Keep up the good work!
Yes this live version by this group is better than the live version that Sugarloaf has on by far. This band tried to make it sound original and authentic which is something Sugarloaf probably don't care about doing any more
This my beef with the current iteration of Three Dog Night. They are horrible. This proves that a sound/experience can be replicated with the right singers and musicians if enough work is put into it. Danny Hutton could, if he cared enough, audition the people he needs and practice like these guys to get it right. But he doesn't give a shit. Here's an example of a group of guys who are talented and devoted enough to do this great song correctly. It's what people want to hear when go to see live music. Congratulations to them all. Well, well done!
THANKS for this, I was the first person around my way to find this album and in two weeks everyone I knew had it, it was a hit in my home town of Toronto Australia. Yes there is another Toronto, down under in the magical land of OZ [Australia] Sugarloaf was a magical and awesome band thanks for the cover.
Great sound guys! I've heard Jerry Corbetta (Sugarloaf's organist and writer of this song) play this recently using a modern digital organ. It's just not the same feel/vibe. You just can't beat that Hammond sound with the Leslie horn and an organist that knows how to bring it alive like this guy just did......That sound just takes you back to the 60's and middle 70's where guy's were ripping and manhandling that organ....remember Sly Stone, Doug Ingle, John Lord? Find some of their older live work. They just kill it.........Thanks for the post!
Depends on taste - I love the growl of a Rick on any song. Plus on computer speakers we're only hearing the high mids. These guys sound more like Sugarloaf than even Sugarloaf does nowadays.
Hey guys I am wIth you on thIs.When thIs song came out I was playIng wIth a real good 4 man band 14-16 year age.We played Santana MTN and orIgInals. We never played thIs song but our b3 man could have done It.I always love this song.The song to me was a great example of many of the b3 tricks IncludIng the end of the shorter edIt where they turn the b3 off then back on to get that eerie sound at the fade
WoW! I'm impressed, what Russ said, great cover. This tune came out when I was 10 and all we had was am so used dads Webcor stereo 7 inch r2r and recorded it. Green Eyed Lady to me was ahead of it's time.
Many musicians these days including me are using hammond clones for convenience BUT this video demonstrates that there is no substitute for the real thing - what wonderful playing and great sound this is - well done guys best version I have ever heard live of one of my favourite tunes !
Hammond B3, there is no substitute for its iconic sound. Greg Allman always believed this is what made the ABB who they were; that and an incredible line up of gifted and talented musicians.
Heard the original band at "The Junction" in Colorado Springs in 1970 while stationed at Ft. Carson Army Hospital. Met the band afterwards. Drummer was far out.
A classic tune that I heard in high school. This can't be the original Sugarloaf, who played this song in 1970. They'd be in their 60's/70's in 2011, but these guys are in their 20's/30's at the time of this performance.
I get your sarchasm ... :) (He knows it's not a Kansas song). He was there to see KANSAS, the Headliner. This band was just the opening act ... Cheers ! ;)
Great cover ! And the B3 and Leslie really smokes ! Check out Barbara Dennerlein from Germany . She not only cooks on B3 , but does jazz on PIPE ORGANS in Cathedrals in Europe ! Now that's HEAVY !

This band is amazing. I wish we had bands like this around near where I live. Fantastic talent! Keep rockin guys!
Such an outstanding hit from the fall of 1970, they were so good, I can only imagine seeing them live like this. The B3 is fabulous! You can see the Leslie spinning around!
Awesome! A time when music was creative without boundaries. Classic that still rocks after 53 years!
Wow that was a great performance💯
My back hurts just looking at that B-3 . But man it sounds so good
So much dad rock, so much khaki, so much white socks
Organ solo was literally verbatim… with a faster tempo. That was amazing.
The bassist is not good rhythmically and just kept pushing...
Guy on the B3 nailed the solo man. That is not an easy solo to replicate, Keyboard player did an awesome job! Everyone sounded great on this!
the best cover ever! well done! and that Leslie has amazed me...
Great job you guys. Sounds outstanding! Not an easy song to pull off that good!!👍
Excellent! Great job Gentlemen! Ya got the Leslie speaker thing going there. (from a fellow musician of 47 years)
That... was absolutely fantastic. THAT is how a cover should be played. These guys looked so average but played like PROS. The singer/lead guitarist even sounded like Jerry Corbetta. Well done guys! Thanks to whomever taped this.
Whats telling in this scene is the ABSENCE of young people enjoying what music once was.
💯👊✊🖐️👌👍🙂
Excellent performance, perfect organ sound, congratulations! :-)
That's because it is an actual B3... and not some digital clone piece of junk.
I know, I also play a real Hammond console organ with Leslie speaker in case the transport could be arranged. If not then the only solution to use the VB3 clone wired to my Hamichord... :-)
Wow they sound perfect ! The.very best band ever I have all their albums from back in 1969 ! MAESTROS GOD BLESS YOU ALL YOUR MUSIC LIVES FOREVER !!! Blessings and greetings from USA !
Good job!!!! I love 70s music, it's so much better than the garbage of today.
There is still a little good music out there. If you look give. Gary Clark Jr. A try he has the sound and talent close to Jimi Hendrix you might like him
Always loved this tune, hot bass licks 💪
Great job guys as has been mentioned it's so nice nice to see and hear the Leslie and your version was really well done on this tune!
Great cover...one of my favorite sounds and they nailed it.... underrated jam
I remember when I had my B3 with my 147 Leslie I can never forget the sound it had given me
That bass line just won't quit. Iconic. Really up there... not only as instantly recognizable, but it spans the distance between funk and rock. It's my 2nd favorite bass line and only CHIC's " Good Times" has it beat.
Check out Grand Funk Railroad, Black Licorice, People Let's Stop the War, Upsetting, to name a few. Great bass player right there.
Good times is more instantly recognizable as a song...but bass line...no way^ Sugarloaf takes the cake 😎
@@jfo3000 Frost's organ solo on Black Licorice is no slouch either!
I'm always amazed how many best bass lines lists don't include green eyed lady by Sugarloaf

Thanks for the comments. I was the bass player in the band and can tell u we went to great lengths to be as accurate as possible.

Being from Berkeley, Ca. and a lover of the Hammond B3, when this song came out, I played it to death!
THANKS for this, I was the first person around my way to find this album and in two weeks everyone I knew had it, it was a hit in my home town of Toronto Australia.

Did you mean Hammond B-3 organ instead C-3?
What didn't sound good here was the bass, a Ric is a terrible choice to play this song, Fender P. Bass would be 1,000% better.
Depends on taste - I love the growl of a Rick on any song. Plus on computer speakers we're only hearing the high mids. These guys sound more like Sugarloaf than even Sugarloaf does nowadays.
I can't believe all these turds in the audience talking!
They deserve a swift backhand
Hey guys I am wIth you on thIs.When thIs song came out I was playIng wIth a real good 4 man band 14-16 year age.We played Santana MTN and orIgInals.

3:33 Holy crap!! That cat on the Hammond is off the chain!!! No flies on the rest of the band but he's got that organ interlude together like a boss
Great cover!!! Nice to see the Ensoniq workstation in this.....one of the most underrated synths from the 90's. Still use my SQ1+ constantly
They did a goid job covering this song.
Jerry R.I.P. You left us with a song that will live forever!!!!!!!!!
definitely up there with the famous almost cut my hair cover! Great cover guys
Every blue moon, the youtube algorithm feeds me a winner and today was that day. Brilliant cover fellas!
Cover? Surely you jest!!!
One of the best songs ever.
WoW! I'm impressed, what Russ said, great cover. This tune came out when I was 10 and all we had was am so used dads Webcor stereo 7 inch r2r and recorded it. Green Eyed Lady to me was ahead of it's time.
This is the second best version of this song I have ever heard !!
Super job, fellas! The band I'm in is just starting to work on it and we can sound a tenth as good I'll be content. Man, that bass cut through!
MISS U Shawn Miller !! from the green eyed lady !!! LOVE THIS SONG !!
Many musicians these days including me are using hammond clones for convenience BUT this video demonstrates that there is no substitute for the real thing - what wonderful playing and great sound this is - well done guys best version I have ever heard live of one of my favourite tunes !
Great Cover... Guy's! Thanks for Sharing. Keep Up the Great Work
That organ player rocks!!...
Wow wow wow It's the first time I ear a cover of that song and I love it \
You guys were Awsome, Ienjoyed that
I think I can live out the rest of my life with that bass line in the background
Props to anyone who tries this song..It isn't easy...!!!
Great job guys--I loved it!
Hammond B3, there is no substitute for its iconic sound. Greg Allman always believed this is what made the ABB who they were; that and an incredible line up of gifted and talented musicians.
These guys killed it-great job
Very nicely done, gentlemen!
Outstanding. Very well done.
Nice! They nailed it. Great job.
Wow, this bassist is hard to play with... His pulse is all over ! Bravo to the keyboardist !
The rest of the band doesn’t seem to be having a problem. They’re all right on the money
Mean shit. Love that Rick. Thanks for sharing.
AWESOME JOB.
You guys killed it.
That was killer!!!
An excellent rendition. Damn man.
Man those keys..
Great job yall. Really good.
great job these guys get it maybe kids of today can learn how it is done from these guys!!!!!!!!!
This can't be the same group because they'd be in their seventies, but they sound amazing! They're spot-on with the sound!
Great cover
Wow, they nailed it!
Great burning cover
These guys are super professionals. Very well done!
45 years ago Illinois State Fair sounded excellent
Yes Hammond B3 organ with Leslie stack
Excellent 👏
You guys should have way more than 314 likes for this cover .
Very nice!
Great song but too much background noise.
Great Job... we still do this one...
Loving the bassist.
GREAT!!
Heard the original band at "The Junction" in Colorado Springs in 1970 while

Great cover ! And the B3 and Leslie really smokes ! Check out Barbara Dennerlein from Germany . She not only cooks on B3 , but does jazz on PIPE ORGANS in Cathedrals in Europe ! Now that's HEAVY !
Man that bassist really got into it.
Great job!
Very good .like it needed to be done.
Excellent fellas.. And I'm the toughest judge..
I'm impressed
Great organ solo, a few blunders by the guitar player. Good vocals from him.
RIP - Jerry Corbetta
Studio quality 👍 🏆
That was sick!!
Well done, kudos
Good job guys. Jim.
Very good cave for a dificult tune !
Wow 36k views! Most anything I ever had for anything I posted. Rip Tim Roche.

EXCELLENT!! Better than the current Sugarloaf.
