@@guysdownstairs no way! You all look great. I'm turning 60 & I still love so much of the old music. Just listened to a song that was just dropped today by a guy that was much younger. It wasnt bad but it was Nothing compared to the old Rock n Roll.
I've just clicked on to these guys..and they are amazing musicians..they are top noch. ..long may they continue. ...Nice to see all the lovely coments about the guys aswell. .... take care everyone. .Jimmy cupid. .
We 60 plus guys were around when this fantastic music was first released. We have a seasoned trio. I’m the youngest at 64, the bass player is 67, the guitarist is 69. We were bound to play good music all along. These guys sound excellent!
Hi guys, I’m almost 70, I play guitar professionally for a long time, listening to the music you’re playing, gave such a happiness to open eyes and staying alive! You’re fantastic! BRAVO!!!
I played bass over 40 years and will say this bass has one of the smoothest and tightest pocketed sound!!! You guys all are awesome musicians...sound like studio quality musicians!!!!
Can't go wrong with this song. It actually was ahead of its time, IMO. Been through just about all of your videos at this point. What CAN'T the drummer sing? He's done Paul Carrack, Robin Zander, and now Gerry Rafferty!😲🤯
Bunch of old guys havin fun...thats great...keep it up. PS I heard a bunch of your videos and the drummer has the best voice...good harmonies from the rest. Kudos
How can you pass yourselves off as serious musicians? No auto-tune, no light/laser effects, no dozen backup dancers prancing around you, no canned fill-in music patches. Seriously, just wow! I’m a fan!!!
I just happened across your "How long" cover, which brought me here. Great stuff! I love cover bands on TH-cam and have bookmarked/subscribed to some of the best - Hindley Street Country Club, Lexington Lab Band and Leonid & Friends. I'm just about to click "subscribe" to The Guys Downstairs now!
Sorta by accident I found myself playing percussion with a band in Florida, say '73 and '74. We became the house band for a lounge along a very busy strip of Rt. 41 in Ft. Myers. We played this song as part of our general set-list and upon request. Can't say I didn't enjoy the fringe benefits.
Playing music in paradise! I never did the lounge band thing, but lots of my friends went that route. I hear it was a great way of life for a youngster.
Great band takes me back to days when 🎶 was top notch as you all are thank you Im mot a TV person at night I enjoy baking and listening to 🎶 daytime outside with all God has given us to enjoy❤
The Drummer has a great voice.
Shh...he might hear you. Thanks!
I would disagree if you were wrong, thanks!
Yes he does
...he sounds like a Don Henley of the Eagles band
Yes!! I was about to comment exactly the same thing , The Drummer has a great voice.
Time to bring you Upstairs for the world to enjoy this great music👍🏻😎
We've all done our share of upstairs over the years. Besides, all that stuff is heavy.
Where in the world did you guy's come from?!? I haven't heard a bad song yet 😂
We've been playing these songs since they first came out. We've had LOTS of practice. (in other words, we are old) Thanks for watching.

Well we’re from the United States!
@@Twins1964 The beauty of music is in the ear of the listener. It's a great thing.
God bless the US!
Age is no barrier to fun. You guys rock.
We can still make it down the steps to the studio. Thanks.
I've just clicked on to these guys..and they are amazing musicians..they are top noch. ..long may they continue. ...Nice to see all the lovely coments about the guys aswell. .... take care everyone. .Jimmy cupid. .
Thanks much! We indeed are having fun.
Bucket list for seniors, jamming with fellow musicians even if we're not this good!! Very inspiring guys, keep it up!!
Thanks! I highly advise doing it.
This is the band I want to be in. Smooth, tight, fun.
Thanks! The only bad thing is the "old" part. We try not to make old man noises when we walk back upstairs.
10 out of 10.!!!!
Thanks!
From an era when music was thought out, well written, and well performed. Thanks guys!
Thanks! I've been wanting to do that slide part forever.
We 60 plus guys were around when this fantastic music was first released. We have a seasoned trio. I’m the youngest at 64, the bass player is 67, the guitarist is 69. We were bound to play good music all along.
These guys sound excellent!
Thanks! Keep it going. I played this song when it was top 10.
Sound great , play some more great music.
Thanks! We hope for one a month.
Guitar player is damn good , Hell all of you are !!! ✌
Very nice! Please, please keep them coming. You guys are GREAT! Nice production too.
Thanks! We hope for one a month or so.
You old geezers are really good!!! I'm a 59 year old guitarist myself so I know a little about musical talent. Keep it going, please!
Thanks! You are still a baby! You have decades of playing in front of you.
The singer is awesome
Thank you!
We had no idea that rock would keep us young 50 years later😮❤
It certainly helps!
Ñext: "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress."
The old "beer-a-bud-a-buy" song. (we could never figure out the lyrics back in the pre-internet days). I'll pass it on to the singers.
Fabulous guys. Experience shines through every time. Tight. Mr Rafferty would be proud.
Thanks for watching!
Great sound - love your music, guys. I think Jerry Rafferty would be tapping his toe to this.
Ha! Thanks so much.
Lead guitar player is quite the versatile player, really enjoy your playing
Thanks! I've been playing guitar for many years. I never could shred, but can usually come up with something doable.
Awesome as Always!👍 Mix is excellent especially on the bass
Great Job 👍🎶
Thanks Greg!
You Guys are dynamite loving it.
Thanks. We are having fun, that's for sure.
Nice to see older gentleman playing some great tunes!❤
We like it, too! Thanks!
You guys are better than most guys half your age! I can listen to you all day. ❤️
Thanks! We've had lots of "experience". At one song a month, we can pick stuff that really suits the band.
Great band Guys. Thanks for the memories.
Great group! Vocals are terrific! Love it!
Thanks!
Love these older songs! I grew up on this great music! Great job, guys! 😎 ✌️
Thanks!
EPIC Tunage dudes! Thanks guys. Really glad a friend told me about you. 🙂
Thank you!
Back for a second tour..so impressive..giving us a lesson proving life need not stop because you have a few wrinkles ..please keep us groovin..🇨🇦
We can still play half decent, as long as we don't have to lug all the gear around. Thanks!
Such a fun song! Love it!! 😊🥰
For sure. I've always wanted to play that slide part. I didn't have to twist any arms though, everybody wanted to do it. Thanks for watching.
I love that and the cowbell! More songs should have cowbell! 😄@@guysdownstairs
I love to see older musicians just enjoying it.
So do we!
I have played drums for 45 years you guys are very good 👍👍
Thanks! I've been at the guitar for 60 years now.

Another fabulous job done by these great guys!
So very well done and love this!
Thanks!
So nice! It’s nice to see us old geezers out singing! lol! Kidding! Love this
Thanks! We still got some juice left.
Guys. You’re gonna have to come up those stairs and out of that basement and let some people in some clubs enjoy some of that great sound.
We've done our time in the clubs. That's why we're downstairs. Thanks!
Vocals are spot on ...Incredible !
Thanks!
You guys knocked it out of the park (again)! Great job! I believe you could give "Steelers Wheel" a run for their money...
Great stuff, used to be in a garage band and really miss it!! Keep rocking!!
Thanks! I still love the original, with it's groovy bounce.
Well, start another one. That's what a garage is for. Thanks!
This is where it doesn’t hurt to be old..can feel my arthritis fading away..these guys should be prescribed by doctors..🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! I hope your arthritis fades away forever.
Larry has got to be the happiest bass player I’ve ever seen 🙂
He's a happy guy anytime he has his guitar.
I love you guys fantastic!!!!! You are having the best time. More please best wishes from Scotland. x
We hope to do one per month. Thanks!
Hi guys, I’m almost 70, I play guitar professionally for a long time, listening to the music you’re playing, gave such a happiness to open eyes and staying alive! You’re fantastic! BRAVO!!!

Thanks! Everyone in the room is a dad! (Except the camera person, she's a mom.)
Awesome job guys! Might need some more cowbell though.... D'oh! 🙃
Ha! If we can find it. Thanks!
I played bass over 40 years and will say this bass has one of the smoothest and tightest pocketed sound!!! You guys all are awesome musicians...sound like studio quality musicians!!!!
Thanks! None of us would cut it in Nashville, but we do OK around here.
OMG you guys are amazing!! I wish you still did gigs. If you are in California I would love to hire you.
Thanks! I think our gigging days are over. Some of us are old!
Can't go wrong with this song. It actually was ahead of its time, IMO.
Been through just about all of your videos at this point. What CAN'T the drummer sing? He's done Paul Carrack, Robin Zander, and now Gerry Rafferty!😲🤯

Thanks!

@@billdesinger8604 We're working on the dancing girls. Can't find any willing to dance behind old guys.

I'm digging it. I subscribed. Do y'all play shows?
Glad you liked it! We are all retired from gigging, except Randy. He's playing acoustic in this video.
It's a true gift to be that talented. Really enjoy their performance.
Thanks! We've had lots of practice.
Just found you guys yesterday and immediately subscribed. You guys do a great job on some tough songs. Hope to see a lot more videos.
Thanks! We'll be back at it soon.

I know this isn't easy. I believe you guys are having fun doing and enjoying the company of each other. You're better than most bar bands. :)

Sounds great. Greetz from the Netherlands.
Thanks! Is that wooden shoes thing for real?
This guy is a much better singer than you would expect.
Thanks!
Incredible MIX and PERFORMANCE, Guys!
Thanks!
We ("Too Old To Die Young) have this on our list of new songs to learn...tagged this as a saver to emulate when we get there! Great job!
A good tune to go with. Tell the guitar player to tune the high E string down to D. That makes the slide part much easier.
Damn you guys are Awesome!
Keep those classics coming 💃
Thanks! We plan on trying.
