The best voice of the horn bands. David Clayton Thomas. YEAH!
Yea, what a band...tons of talent. Drummer has great chops and musicality!!
Thank you, hawkrider88...Your kind remark is greatly appreciated!
The BEST Drummer Blood Sweat and Tears ever had Neil Capolongo.
Thanks Joe DellaUniversita!...greatly appreciated!
4:18-4:48 is one of the best jazz chorales of all time
THANK YOU! DCT and BS&T for all those great songs.
The group that inspired me to be a drummer.Bobby Colomby,the best!!!!!.The first time I heard this group in the 60' it blow my mind.
+Ramon E. Robles There you have something in common with a lot of musicians all over the world.
They are in concert in my area on July 8th. All original members have died or retired. It doesn't matter. Saw them 4 years ago, and they brought the house down. Will be there in attendance.
I visited a Blood, Sweat and Tears concert in Munich, Germany in late 1968 or early 1969 (as an Army Brat), can#T recall. I do remember though, what a wonderful experience it was. Fantastic!!
thanks for posting, great version
Thanks mark y!...greatly appreciated!
I think you make an excellent point about the true defination of BST. Again you are right! Members comes and go but the greater good of the band carryies on..
. I still admire Lou Souloff as a great trumpet player. I was in a great Army Band with him in New York. I admired him there as well. But, there have been a few guys come in the band namely these two fellows on trumpet that shine brilliant doing what he did.
@01foote01 I'm damn impressed, and I don't doubt your truth. I had the chance to meet and greet Clayton back in 72 at the Met Center in Bloomington, as I emceed one of several huge concerts there in my BIG DJ radio days...whew..
He was one of the true gentlemen I can remember...
A lot of fuzzy memories, obviously fromTHAT time...
thanks for your post.
@Ptrgamb Thanks, for mentioning the writers WINWOOD & CAPALDI
Drumcam, who provided these videos, is playing drums about as artfully as Bobby C ever did. There is probably numerous drummers who could keep it all together nicely. It is a fact they use studio players and keep this show on the road even thou DCT may not be the lead singer all the time. Someone has been granted the rights to use the name and music and it's making money and pleasing crowds. Watch for them in your concert hall or ampitheatre. The show goes on!! Thanks and keep in touch!
Thanks Lynn Claughton!...greatly appreciated!
Great how these songs still hold up. Clayton-Thomas retired just a few years ago, mainly for health reasons. Never been a voice quite like his in pop. That's my little brother on bass for the last 15+ years. He's a monster writer/producer as well.
his voice is epic
Amazing. Just to time all of it-Wow. Amazing vocals. Listen to "and when I die"
Yes, Good for David!
I'll never forget him refusing to be interviewed for Radio Nederland,
but at the same time helping me acquire interviews with all the other
band members...lol...same night we heard about Jimmy H.
Bee - Ess and Tea
The best -
the Very best - Love these guys-
@guyglowmore1 great observations...BS and T was one of those commercial bands that appeared to be way ahead of their time. THey jazzed up rock even before Chicago. Now that you mention Winwood and Traffic...holy shit.
How about "The low Spark of High-Heeled Boys." Talk about UNDER-rated...Stevie Winwood.
Thanks for your post.
Where are the big band sounds today? I thank God I lived in this era of talented singers and composers. Todays people seem to lack talent and imagination.
Nobody wants to pay the musicians.
Todays music has too much rap crap to have any value.
KILLER ROCK
Thanks for the note back on the recent show you saw. I heard they simply import fine studio players to do these shows now.. I wonder about that? There is a lot of talent out there!
Love this song! Maybe my favorite BS&T song, but why is Ron Jeremy playing trombone?
Wonderful to hear his voice holding up so well. Great group that still doesn't get enough airtime on the oldies stations.
Btw, is that Ron Jeremy on trombone??
.
Nice flugel solo.... builds nicely
Love the modulation ending BS & T wrote for this. I falsely remember Traffic ending the original like this too - funny how the brain makes stuff up.
Jeeze, dude. It's Jazz. The pun is fantastic: Phases for Faces.
Relax and enjoy the greatest rock/jazz band ever. DCT is a GOD!
@01foote01 That is awsome. Has your brother done any solo work? Would like to hear it.
LB=One Of A Kind!
This particular 'edition' of bs&t not quite the original outfit, by ANY stretch of the imagination, but more than adequate!
BS&T with DCT the best horn band from the 60s !
Los Blues is an anachronism!
The E-GO Conducting, ( hate that ) My friend still stuck his head in a gas-on unignited pizza oven,with lighter in hand. Was told I won't go on for last show until I get,,,,,,,
.....Oh!, he went on,,sang his ass off!! Some, you just put up with there shit. There more than worth it!! Still Lov'em It's a Sanger thang.
Not one original member from the first album. Only connection is David Clayton Thomas
His flugel sound is very trumpet-like, a bit too bright?
These guys sound really better than the 69 group. Lou Souloff could never solo any thing like either of these trumpet players. This bass player is a killer player The whole sound is way way over the top! Trombone man is out of sight.Been so many years wonder if David C Thomas is doing a show? I sadly doubt he is. I would love to hear it today with these players.I guess I am dreaming!
Lynn Claughton 12 years later... totally agree. Love this incarnation of BS&T. Great in every way. Hey... choreography, too!
nicht ungeil!
einfach Klasse.
THIS THE SEED OF EVEN GREAT BALCK SOUL
winwood, who write this, does such a fine job this version pales in color. many bands stole traffic songs and some had hits with them even though inferior. this is some lightwieght jazz but still redeeming. at least they had good taste and musicianship. i liked bst better with al kooper.
I think BST were a little too refined for my tastes as a teenager -now I listen-they're perfect.all versions.
Members come and go in any musical outfit, including the Berlin Phil, but what matters is that the standard's maintained. BS&T stands for BLOODY SUPERLATIVE TEAM...they are the greatest rock/jazz band. sd goh(malaysia)
Thanks 301250!...greatly appreciated!
@@Drumcam 👌👍, I am still alive & kicking despite the pandemic that’s causing a lot of blood, sweat & tears of the real kind!
@@301250 Thanks! ...same here!...
liked the first BS&T project after DCT joined up. After that they sort of went commersh. Guess I liked the Kooper-Brecker influence. More to my liking. Very decent bass chops on lil bro 01footed01. Also Fluglehorn solo was very Randy Brecker...so yeah, not shabby 'tall.
You see. He even says "Great to see all your smiling FACES." Isn't that what they are REALLY singing in this song. What the hell does "smiling PHASES" even mean?
It's known as a "pun" or "play on words."
Ron Jeremy on tromBONE
Whow..that reminds me on some very good old days...
when started to play !!!
please check me playin ,,Landscape'' and enjoy..
Hans Peter Salentin
God's messenger .sing it!
HI-FI 😃 because it says so
very gooooooooooood but Lew solo in it was much better ,do you remember??best regards
bring back al cooper
O.K. , but they are really for the 65- 78 year old group...you see, they are a bridge from the big band era to the early rock days....I'm only 9 yrs old but I still like em.
BTS is still very good !...
Los Blues Wrote this.......BS&T is a bad copy...check this out!
Los Blues - Smiling Phases-MacArthur Park (1971)
This isn't exactly BS&T. This is a band fronted by DCT using the name BS&T.
Los Blues was very impressive, at least in terms of technique and energy. But if that's from '71, then it was LB who borrowed HEAVILY from the BS&T arrangement (They copped the horn lines, and the general feel. Shit, the drummer practically stole Bobby Colomby's drum break btw 1st & 2nd verses.) from 2 yrs earlier. (And the intro uses a bit of Brubeck.) But the song was written by Traffic.
I also checked out More and More; another ripoff of a BS&T arrangement--w/ more dissonant harmonies, but w/out the soul. And the middle up-tempo swing ensemble section...sorry, it's like Buddy Rich trying to play "rock." BS&T managed a beautiful balance between jazz and rock/soul sensibilities. Seems like Los Blues decided to "kick it up a notch," destroying that balance in the process.
fretbuzz59 Other way around....listen carefully, and you'll hear so much more substance, and less commercial bullshit from LB's chart & Performance!
Rich Pulin
I already listened carefully and I completely disagree. (That's why I replied as what I did.) Plus, they STOLE the BS&T chart, for god's sake. You can't deny that.
They (the drummer especially) play it way on top of the beat, ruining the R&B feel. The chart is totally obnoxious and overdone--a more-is-more approach. It's like it was done by a student trying to show off his arranging chops and how hip he is, with "jazzier" harmonies, and as many sections and shifts in tempo as he could squeeze in ("I can arrange vocals, too!"), along w/incongruous quotes from Brubeck and the Beatles, and that complete non sequitur into Mac Park. IOW, an arranger w/no style or taste, or any sensibility for writing a chart that SERVES the SONG.
But hey, if that's what qualifies as "substance" to you, then you've got it in spades. You may also enjoy Buddy Rich's version of Norwegian Wood...you know, the way song was really intended to be played.
fretbuzz59 Still a fantastic band with fantastic music. They went through a lot of changes, but they still kick butt. David was willing to keep playing their music, and keep their music alive. God blees him.
+fretbuzz59 Totally agree. Firstly the arrangement is overdone and then there are so many excerps from other songs. I never get the impression that this is a real song, it sounds like a medley. And then BS&T always sound very transparent in spite of their big size. To me BL never comes to the point where I can say: OK, now they´re in the song.
MORBIN, I do so agree! But not too bad for these dayz, better than Rap!
sounds great, but dave should stick to the singing and skip the pseudo "conducting".
Great musicians, however, ( 😂 no soul 😂 )
@DrewDawg50 Definatly not. Metallica and slayer and KISS are some of the best bands of all time
Too much grunge guitar in those bands.
