1977. I was ten years old and my oldest brother got his driver's license and inherited Dad's cherished '73 Trans Am. Timmy was a popular boy at school and the greatest big brother ever, and unlike his friends, relished in letting his kid brother tag along everywhere he went. I had a permanent spot in the co-pilot seat of that T/A as we ran the roads of the Lehigh Valley with this song blasting out of the 8-track...
LOVE IT!!!! Trans Ams are RARE in Australia. I rode in one once. It was magnificent. Let's be honest, they are a crap car, but gees they look good. And epitome of The American Dream in the 70s
Okay maybe I'm only 53 but, I had an amazing father. Riding around in the countryside of southwestern Ohio just jamming on the radio and his limited amount of eight tracks. Man Boz scaggsand steely Dan come on. Thanks Dad I had an amazing time growing up
If they went putting everyone in it all willy nilly, the Hall would lose its value In the world of music!! Granted a lot of people should be there and won't. Best you can do is live for the music,whom ever I makes it does,we will always be helpless to that. Ps. I would of loved to him get in!
Because the RR hall of fame is bullshiit. Political. Some of the greatest bands ever aren’t in there. But Madonna is? Lol. That should tell you all you need to know
@@sirenasongs2982 Basically most of TOTO played on this and toured with him in '77, then they formed TOTO. One of the the keyboardist with the beard and glasses co wrote this. Can't remember his name right now.
Instantly takes my memory back to my street and "junior high" (not middle school) in 1977. Sweet muscle cars cruisin' with windows open, cutoff jeans, vinyl records with big album covers in fruit crates, pinball machines, lava lamps ... and no PC's or cell phones! Made our own fun outside much of the time. Life was wide-open, and I remember it well. I know it wasn't a perfect time, but aspects of it were.
Said it well!! No kid stayed inside if they could help it...that was torture Playing football in the st til the stlights came on, travelling road trips state to state ea summer was huge back then, couples took walks after dinner and Sunday was....day of rest. Love every bit of it (except that giant daily chore list)
Saw him in Dallas a couple of days ago. Still sounds great at 79 years old. Silky smooth and still strong. Great band, great show! If you’re thinking about seeing him, just do it! He’s touring tight now.
Boring shitty day at work. Fighting London traffic. Arseholes everywhere. Stopped at Lidl's for my supper. Drive home. Boz comes on the radio. Life's good!
This tune sure brings back memories of my pre-teens. I loved , and still do love the story. A small time crook goin` fo` broke , makin` a B-line fo` the border. lol,
Stumbled across this song, been too long, was about 15 months ago, immediately thought about my sister that passed away September of 2019. Remember hearing this song on FM radio in the 70's when we were kids, I teared up for weeks listening to this countless times. But they were tears of happiness knowing she's smiling and well ☺ again...
Brilliant comment - that's how I was brought up *IRISH* to notice things that our beloved departed are sending our way as reinsurance that everything is great .. And music is one of the ways they do send it..
Love Jeff's work. I can now tell if hes on the drums in songs I hear. He has a distinct clear and precise rhythm and lack of ego in his playing. A true collaborator!
Just found this vinyl album "Silk Degrees" at a thrift store today in excellent condition. Best 99 cents I ever spent. My old Technics turntable loves it :)
@@crawfordfanatic Always keep it close to your heart. I feel your pain and I am truly sorry for the heartbreak you have. I'm sending you love and you have every right to keep your memories alive.
I walked into a bar in Sydney, Australia yesterday afternoon and the DJ was holding this album! I told him I’d been playing it on TH-cam 2 days earlier. This guy was in his early 30s. Great to see new generations are appreciating it 🎶 🥁 🎙️ ☺️.
Now that we know how old you are, are you going to take action when your kids and grand kids need you most? We will be tested beyond our parents and the Vietnam vets in our old age. Buck up. This version of the song makes my heart sing and I always sing the third harmony along with it. Tag we're it.
I didn't notice until I read this comment; he's like a metronome! Thanks for calling attention to his fantastic work - every note is right in its place!!! Rare to find! /gen
@@stanleyhatfield4902 Yep, I'm right there with you guys. My brother used to play this when I was so young. Love it, good classic MUSIC, not the doof doof trash they play today!
I NEVER get tired of hearing this song. Still end up playing it several times in a row. Irresistibly builds and builds to the end. Pure musical art and enjoyment.
I saw a band called Yatchly Crew and they do mostly 70s/80s softrock covers. Their version of this song rips. I always liked it. Sounds like he wrote it for Elton John but ended up just recording it himself and it is great.
well said . . . . .this will resurface for a " second wave " as soon as one of our grandkids cranks it at a party . . .and will never die . it's THAT fkng Good !
We’d drive from Salt Lake City to Jackson Hole, Wyoming listening to this album, singing at the top of our lungs and drinking Mickey’s Big Mouth! Great days!!
Woke up with this song in my head this morning. Hadn’t heard it in a long time so where did it come from? Embedded in my brain from my 16 year old self in 1976 and leaking out in my sleep. Great song!
This song also kind of popped into my head. I've been thinking of 70's music lately Steely Dan, Chicago and this song popped into my mind. I was born in 1970 so I don't remember when this song was released.
Huge Boz Scaggs fan, great singer-songwriter. Went to boarding school in Cali. with his son Oscar Scaggs, who tragically died of an overdose on new years eve 1999. RIP my friend. You are truly missed.
This song drove me crazy for nearly four years---in early 1984, I fially found out the title and artist, and got the record, at Gordon's Record Shop---it was on Butternut Street, and I got most of my records from there!!!! What a place!
You cannot dislike this classic. It must be sung right out loud whenever, wherever, you happen to be when you hear it. The dance moves then come on second-nature. Boz!
The tune Lido Shuffle was recorded in September 1975 but released as a single in February 1977. No matter how we look at it-it’s a classic and 1977 was a classic year for Music!
Three of a kind and a pair: A boat. A winning hand.? I bought this album hot off the press when it was new. I was to young to think it was a song about gambling addiction. The terms all add up to the eventual demise of Lido chasing every bet in every area of gambling Lido could find. A fools Pair a dice .
This seemed to come out of nowhere in 1977. I was just a kid in middle school. I wasn't really into music at that point, but my older sisters bought this album and I simply could not believe my ears. Classic, brilliant arrangement by actual bona fide musicians. As you might recall, there was no video to support this stuff, it had to sell itself. This is a perfect example of the sound of that era. Unforgettable.
Spoiled for choice in the 70s. (Born '65). GREAT bands, all sorts of genres, were as numerous as mosquitos in a swamp Now, of course, it's like trying to find a fucking oasis in The Sahara Desert with modern music... Good stuff, different, but still there, but my GOD the digging 😱
Disco was all over top 40 radio, and then there was this-Totally NOT disco! I'm 60, and I love this song as much as the first time I heard it back then!!!
True. When Hank Hill heard what Bobby was dancing to he got him in the truck and went to the music store to listen to albums before buying them. He was scammed, though, by three seconds of misleading music and ended up at the Astrodome seeing the disgrace from the parents box. "Bobby, we used to have two minute songs about people in love or burning down Georgia."
@@James-if3kc Oh, you did it! If the remainder of the day turns awful it won't matter because you have sealed it in laughter with your 4 SKORE. When a quick look at my notifications stood out with that, I knew Chris, Calvin, Cool Chris and Todd made a name for themselves. It's a really good episode with history rolled in. Seeing the Astrodome made me a little misty-eyed because I saw it being built. I love talking King of the Hill. Anytime you feel like it, ring me. And, it was nice of you to let me know you got the joke. Tom Landry thanks you, too. :)
I'm from Chi Town *Chicago* (Lyrics) and since I was a kid to getting old quick our extended family has a tradition of playing this every 4th of July .. Many are now departed but there's still a few of us around to keep the tradition going
I love the music of Boz Scaggs. No one else sounds like the Boz. I used to do Lido and Breakdown at karaoke. If you want to get the crowd tapping their feet, clapping their hands and dancing, sing Boz Scaggs.
Love this song. My brother introduced me to this song when he bought the vinyl album and I have been listening to this song on cassette, CD and now Apple Music for so many years. Music today is not what it is suppose to be, should be or ever will be again.
You know, when I first heard about this guy, I didn’t think he was going to be that good because his name sounded like a Monsters Inc. character. But boy, did he blow me away with this song! I’ll have to listen to more of his work sometime.
Jeff was an amazing drummer. Fully half of what would become Toto is on the backing tracks for Silk Degrees, and the band has credited their time with Scaggs for helping them get together.
I can't forget the "old" days. I saw him in Pittsburgh along with the Eagles, and Fleetwood Mac. Great concert and hours of music for only 15 bucks. Plus the parking was free. Damn. That WAS the old days.
I was reading this comment just as he sang these lines 😅 love Boz Scaggs. I was a teenager in the 70s and this song was all over the radio. Bought the album but sold all my albums in the 90s 😢😢wish I’d kept them
I'm at the gym, walking around the track, this song keyed up - OMG! I couldn't help myself - sang out loud to all the half-forgotten lyrics I'd not heard in AGES! So frickin' fabulous

Nice. I am the same age and was on the Jersey side jamming to this tune with my brother, too!
12 wow.
😅
I was 9! My Mom had this record
I was 20 in the 70's and now 70 in the 20's. The 70's, without a doubt, is the best decade... and I wouldn't change a thing.
You're lucky to have grown up in that time.
I was a pre-teen...and now my SiriusXM presets START with the 70s. The BEST
Nor would I.
Absolutely! Without a doubt!
Born in 68 and feel the same. 70s in general was a great time good tunes, loved the 80s too.
Okay maybe I'm only 53 but, I had an amazing father. Riding around in the countryside of southwestern Ohio just jamming on the radio and his limited amount of eight tracks. Man Boz scaggsand steely Dan come on. Thanks Dad I had an amazing time growing up
I can remember this from the summer of '77. I was 5 years old and this song playing on the AM radio of my dad's 1966 Ford Fairlane
Riding around southwestern ohio also.
I m a little older than you, but those were magical times to be alive. ❤
Pops had a beer in his lap, cruising down Rybolt Rd and getting air in our van at the hilltops.
Right on 👌👍. Dad just raising you right.. ❤🎶🎶✨🎶🤔🎶✨
I was 4 and I remember as well. My dad had a beautiful Cutlas Supreme Oldsmobile and driving around listening to 62 WHEN in Syracuse,N.Y.
Why is this man not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame????? He belongs there as much as anyone !

Keep the faith! He'll get there.
@@benturk1996 WRONG!!!
Living in remote area of Scotland I never heard of Bozz Scaggs until the internet opened up my world. This is simply brilliant
My ancient 11 year old ass from Orange County, CA very much remembers this song, also how much we couldn't understand the lyrics. Good Times!
This song is screams: I'm a 70s kid. If Bozz is your 1st intro, look up 38 special or Chicago.
And while you do, throw something back this way!

Life was so great back then. The 70's was a fantastic time to be a teenager.
Saw him a few days ago. At 78 he still puts on a solid show.
Thinking about seeing him in Des Moines at the end of the month...
Awesome to this day
Seen Dylan in Glasgow October. Boz is up there with Bob. Take care.

"The 70s music" is pretty general. Like there was disco (mostly bad except Beegees) and some really good stuff.
All 70s music was great. Rock Disco Soul. Everything.

It was co wrote and recorded by the Toto boys. Those lads had chops.

My Man Jeff Pocaro on the drums I believe....RIP Dear Brother. What a great tune! Got me dancing around the house like I was 20 again!!!!!
And he did this album for union scale! I believe it was $164 for a 3 hour session at the time.
Yep that's him.
Awesome thanks for sharing:)!
@@larry4111 He was at double scale $328 at the time and Baz gave him $30,000 cash for his drumming work. Love Jeff Porcaro.

The four layers of synthesizers during the outro is what makes this song for me.
Summer of 1977 when this came out. Man those were great times and great music

I can see why
Lido missed the boat that day, he left the shack
But that was all he missed, and he ain't comin' back
At a tombstone bar in a juke joint car, he made a stop
Just long enough to grab a handle off the top
Next stop, Chi-town, Lido put the money down, let it roll
He said, "One more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One for the road"
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for the go
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
He said, "One more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One more for the road"
Lido be runnin', havin' great big fun until he got the note
Saying, "Tow the line or blow it, " and that was all she wrote
He be makin' like a beeline headin' for the border line, goin' for broke
Sayin', "One more hit oughta do it
This joint, ain't nothin' to it
One more for the road"
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for the go
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
"One more job oughta get it
One last shot, then we quit it
One more for the road"
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for the go
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
"One more job oughta get it"

Seriously, one of the best songs ever written, composed, and recorded.
It's a very good song with stellar performances and I certainly loved singing it with my band cause I'm a fan. In the pantheon? No.
Masterpiece ❤
I hear this and celebrate my 70’s youth!!
Jeff Pocaro nailing that shuffle on drums. RIP JEFF
You cannot dislike this classic. It must be sung right out loud whenever, wherever, you happen to be when you hear it. The dance moves then come on second-nature. Boz!
Yes Starjunkie! Ifr this tune doesn`t make you tap your toe, you are a robot!! And the arrangement of the whole track is brilliant!!
@@gib59er56 I wholly agree!
Yes!!!
Man this tune has been stuck in my head since it was released lol
1977 was a special year for me and nothing takes me back there than Boz' Lido Shuffle.
Early Spring 1977 to be exact!
1975 it came out
It feels like it
@@johngolofit1208 it think 1977 also
The tune Lido Shuffle was recorded in September 1975 but released as a single in February 1977. No matter how we look at it-it’s a classic and 1977 was a classic year for Music!
The Bass Player on the recording, DAVID HUNGATE, is one of my best friends!!!! He is also my Bass Instructor and Mentor!!! :)
You are a lucky man.
Great bassline! You only have to hear two beats of that bass from the intro to know that it's Lido Shuffle!

Awesome in TOTO!
This song is a example of all the best songs are short
Three of a kind and a pair: A boat. A winning hand.? I bought this album hot off the press when it was new. I was to young to think it was a song about gambling addiction. The terms all add up to the eventual demise of Lido chasing every bet in every area of gambling Lido could find. A fools Pair a dice .
After all these years ... STILL an awesome song.
Oh yes. Absolutely terrific,I thought it was a good song then but I love it now. Takes me right back to 1976-77 as well.
Me too. Was living in Australia at the time before multiculturism took over
***** Gladly if that is the shite word for wanting to protect my way of life.
+George Vreeland Hill songs don't rot, they aren't food
I was in west Berlin on a tour of duty, when the wall was still up, still should be IMO.
This seemed to come out of nowhere in 1977. I was just a kid in middle school. I wasn't really into music at that point, but my older sisters bought this album and I simply could not believe my ears. Classic, brilliant arrangement by actual bona fide musicians. As you might recall, there was no video to support this stuff, it had to sell itself. This is a perfect example of the sound of that era. Unforgettable.
Spoiled for choice in the 70s. (Born '65). GREAT bands, all sorts of genres, were as numerous as mosquitos in a swamp
Now, of course, it's like trying to find a fucking oasis in The Sahara Desert with modern music...
Good stuff, different, but still there, but my GOD the digging 😱
Way better than today music ☺️🎶🎶☺️🎶🎶🎶 ☺️, miss 1977!. Happy Wednesday
Disco was all over top 40 radio, and then there was this-Totally NOT disco! I'm 60, and I love this song as much as the first time I heard it back then!!!
@encompassvideo5429 You have mentioned a very important point. You are right! Thank you!
Everything, the songwriting, the structure, the lyrics, the production, who could do it like this today?
Please he ripped off Van Morrison
@@HanifBarnwell everyone rips off everyone all the time
This song / LP kicks played it all the time back then!!
This is what music is not the garbage on the radio today
True. When Hank Hill heard what Bobby was dancing to he got him in the truck and went to the music store to listen to albums before buying them. He was scammed, though, by three seconds of misleading music and ended up at the Astrodome seeing the disgrace from the parents box.
"Bobby, we used to have two minute songs about people in love or burning down Georgia."
@@kebcarter4752 Great episode. 4-Score!
@@James-if3kc Oh, you did it! If the remainder of the day turns awful it won't matter because you have sealed it in laughter with your 4 SKORE. When a quick look at my notifications stood out with that, I knew Chris, Calvin, Cool Chris and Todd made a name for themselves. It's a really good episode with history rolled in. Seeing the Astrodome made me a little misty-eyed because I saw it being built.
I love talking King of the Hill. Anytime you feel like it, ring me.
And, it was nice of you to let me know you got the joke. Tom Landry thanks you, too. :)
@@kebcarter4752 I love King of the Hill too! We can talk anytime you want! So glad I made you laugh! So many episodes I love!
@@James-if3kc Dang old nice man, you son of a gun.
I'm from Chi Town *Chicago* (Lyrics) and since I was a kid to getting old quick our extended family has a tradition of playing this every 4th of July .. Many are now departed but there's still a few of us around to keep the tradition going
Possibly the greatest song ever written.
Wow! Really?
Great song, but millions of miles from the greatest song ever written.
Good song bit this isn't even the best song Boz Scaggs has ever written. Lowdown is way better than this.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse He's entitled to his opinion. At least he didn't name a Taylor Swift song as the greatest ever written.
I love the music of Boz Scaggs. No one else sounds like the Boz. I used to do Lido and Breakdown at karaoke. If you want to get the crowd tapping their feet, clapping their hands and dancing, sing Boz Scaggs.
It's 2:13 in the AM
Go to sleep!
Love this song. My brother introduced me to this song when he bought the vinyl album and I have been listening to this song on cassette, CD and now Apple Music for so many years. Music today is not what it is suppose to be, should be or ever will be again.
Yes, I agree!
Man, one of the best songs of all time!
eric m. yes great music will still be around after we are gone.boz music will never die
One of the best driving songs ever....!!!!
This song is glorious! Porcaro at his finest on drums!
This was the last 45 I bought before Punk Rock, never stopped liking it.
This is kinda punk witnout the strutting bullshit
This behaviour in the song is as about as anti-structured, fark you, as you can get
Not too many groups add horn sections anymore that's what makes this song and others like it so unique after all these years
An absolute best of the best.
Best car jam ever
Here in 2023! Thanks for that. This whole scene is undervalued.
The whole world is falling apart but this makes me so strong. Thank you mister Boz Scaggs.
Stay strong in these dark days, Ad. Peace&love from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
@@backagain5216 Hey Back Again. We will,dont we friend?!👍Wish you all the best.✌💜🤍🌼🍀
Jeff Porcaro on the drums with his legendary "shuffle" before he became part of Toto. I love to listen to his drum work on this.
He's awesome on this track. Actually he's awesome full stop
Rip jeff
Didn't the whole band become Toto?
ah yes, the predecessor to the rosanna shuffle!

I remember my sister buying this LP in 1976, and liking this track the most. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore!
Happy birthday #78 to the Boz, happy birthday sir🎂👍
It’s still such a killer tune! Loved it when I was a kid and love it today.
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
The song was playing while we was. Doing a drug store
You know, when I first heard about this guy, I didn’t think he was going to be that good because his name sounded like a Monsters Inc. character. But boy, did he blow me away with this song! I’ll have to listen to more of his work sometime.
RIP Jeff Porcaro.
Jeff was an amazing drummer. Fully half of what would become Toto is on the backing tracks for Silk Degrees, and the band has credited their time with Scaggs for helping them get together.
I can't forget the "old" days. I saw him in Pittsburgh along with the Eagles, and Fleetwood Mac. Great concert and hours of music for only 15 bucks. Plus the parking was free. Damn. That WAS the old days.
It’s 2024 and as a 90’s baby, I rather enjoy classic tunes like this one than newer music. It’s a perfect summertime song
He be makin like a bee-line headin' for the boarder line goin' for broke
I was reading this comment just as he sang these lines 😅 love Boz Scaggs. I was a teenager in the 70s and this song was all over the radio. Bought the album but sold all my albums in the 90s 😢😢wish I’d kept them
Takes me to when I was 10, singing "one more for the road" at the top of my lungs along with the radio, lol! Seriously, I love this song.
I thought I was the only kid that fod that ✌️
@@lucasisthebest3361Nope! 😂😂😂😂
I'm at the gym, walking around the track, this song keyed up - OMG! I couldn't help myself - sang out loud to all the half-forgotten lyrics I'd not heard in AGES! So frickin' fabulous
