Bonnie live from a free radio concert, at Ultrasonic Studios, Hempstead, NY, in 1972! (with Lowell George, John Hammond Jr, bassist Freebo and others). (song by Steve Winwood)
So glad I got to see Lowell perform with Little Feat in mid-70s. Overjoyed when I finally met Freebo a few years back but will always fanboy over Bonnie.
What a treat to find a Bonnie gem that I haven't heard before. Within 15 seconds it was added to my playlist. I'm among the legions who have followed her for 50 years and the treasure hunt never ends. There is nothing she can't do vocally or musically if she sets herself the task. No voice matches her range of soul, power, tenderness, yearning, joy. We have been well and truly blessed with her music for a lifetime.
Bonnie's always been a wonderful singer, but there was a purity and innocence to her voice on those early albums, recorded before the weary experience of the road and the music business. She could tear your heart out on classics like this and Too Long at the Fair.
Too Long at the Fair has been in my top 5 Bonnie favorites for decades. Also, from her debut album, Since I Fell for You. So much amazing music before she "suddenly" got noticed by radio in 89 with Nick of Time. For those who knew her back when, sweet memories. For those who came later - better late than never. It's still all good.
@@PhilBaird1 oooh. That’s tough. Tends to shift a bit with my mood. Like trying to pick my favorite child. But top contenders include the ones mentioned, plus Going Wild for You Baby (from the Glow), Cry Like a Rainstorm, Guilty, Runaway, Everybody’s Crying Mercy, Ángel from Montgomery, I Can’t Make You Love Me, and lately Just Like That. I know that’s more than 5, and I know I’ve left out several of my favorite children. In my defense, there’s over 50 years of amazing music to choose from. ❣️🤗🎼
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone Somebody has to change You are the reason I've been waiting so long Somebody holds the key Well I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time And I'm wasted, I can't find my way home Come down on your own and leave your money at home Somebody's to change You are the reason I've been waiting all these years Somebody holds the key Well I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time You know I'm wasted, I can't find my way home Ooh, and I can't find my way home Ooh, I can't find my way home Ooh, I can't find my way home And I can't find my way home
She did an outdoor concert in northern Massachusetts in 1974 or 75, I got there early and sat in the center of the first row. I was already in love with her and her music.
I think Bonnie and Robert Plant should do a project together, their combined love of the old blues stuff and voices together and her slide playing? Could be awesome ❤
A classic recording, had to buy the CD just to have it. This is when Bonnie first met Lowell. The way Lowell comes in on this song with his slide guitar still gives me the chills...
@@n228sk Untrasonic Studios 1972 Bonnie Raitt. I can't actually think of the name right now, but will keep working on it. Test me again if you don't find it
I’ve seen Bonnie live several times, but the most memorable was a time when I could not hear her when I was supposed to hear her. Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mt. View, California (which has pretty darn good sound), maybe 25 years or so ago. Some opening act, followed by Bonnie Raitt, then Eric Clapton and I believe B.B. King closing. Bonnie comes out, gets 2 minutes into her first song and the sound goes completely out of wack. Sound was coming over the system, but not at all listenable. Several stops and starts, with fiddling by the sound people in between, but no luck. Bonnie finally hangs it up. After a long break the sound gets fixed and Clapton comes on. All is good with the sound and after a bit he calls Bonnie out to finish out the last half of his set with him. Disaster turns to gold. Oh, and I’m pretty certain B.B. was great as well.
1976, Leicester, England. Bonnie Raitt, Home Plate album on vinyl. Love at first listen. Later, as a big Little Feat fan, her bootlegged session with Lowell George (Bonnie calls Lowell “cute” 🤣🤣🤣) is full of this high calibre stuff. This is a Steve Winwood (Traffic) composition, Bonnie simultaneously treats it with respect to the original and makes it her own. Such a superb musical talent. Thanks for all the great music Bonnie Raitt.
A new dimension to this timelessly beautiful song, when it's sung by a woman (and one as gifted as Bonnie Raitt). Gorgeous! But I'll always think of it as a guy's song, expressing a male kind of helplessness when he doesn't make the grade in a woman's eyes. A young man's song, maybe, but Stevie Winwood the writer and his friend Eric Clapton played it a few years back, acoustically, at a concert I was at and it silenced the Albert Hall. I was weeping throughout. (I'm nearly 70.)
Right up there with you on the 50. I fell in love with her voice and presentation as a young teen and that has never changed. One of the longest constants in my life.
I was watching the CMA’s when Bonnie won the new horizons award. She got up to accept the award and said “you know I’ve been doing this for ten years” God I love her
I too have been a fan for 45 years. Nothing bad about Stevie Ray Vaughn but his popularity in the 90's we're trying and in light of that then I said thank God for Bonnie Raitt. At the time all the SRV was making me nauseous but again nothing bad about SRV.
This looks kind of like it’s a freeze frame of a tv live concert in Chicago around 1970 give or take a couple years. She was just getting started. This was a blues oriented concert with a number of well established blues artists. This was a bonafide live performance, not one of those piped-in travesties that were so common.
I don't think I've EVER heard a song by her that I haven't liked! She's always been really something special!

Thank you! I was listening and saying over and over to myself "Where did this come from?"
So glad I got to see Lowell perform with Little Feat in mid-70s. Overjoyed when I finally met Freebo a few years back but will always fanboy over Bonnie.
There's a better mix out there.
@@stevenorris3682Yeah, this mix is pretty scratchy/fuzzy.

It's that sad yearning and aching sense of loss that makes Bonnie special, particularly on those early albums before Nick of Time.

Very well said. Completely agree
Agree Phil.

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody has to change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
Well I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted, I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your money at home
Somebody's to change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
Well I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
You know I'm wasted, I can't find my way home
Ooh, and I can't find my way home
Ooh, I can't find my way home
Ooh, I can't find my way home
And I can't find my way home
Beautiful version of a classic Stevie Winwood tune.
There is only one Bonnie Raitt… only one! ❤️🙏👍🎸😎
There's only one of all of us.
She is probably the best,there isn’t another female performer as good as she is!
Been a Bonnie Raitt fan most of my life!!!
The perfect match - of the right singer for the right song. A wonderfully soulful version of the Winwood classic.
I've been a fan since the first time I heard her. Just like the first time I heard Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Never heard this one from Bonnie Raitte before. What an amazing voice! Thanks Bonnie!
"that's my daughter!"
..... B.B. King
actually said that
I saw you at the Salt in RI
That was even before I met my wife
Been married 46 years.
She went to Heaven 7 years ago
She and I saw you !!!
I’ve never heard this version before, just stumbled upon it nice
Great picture of her. She looks to be in her early 20's there. Time....
I love the way Bonnie sings and interprets music!Also ....this is one of the most beautiful pictures I've seen....
A beautiful young woman with the Blues and Soul in her Heart !
I haven't heared this rendition in a couple of decades. Nice to find it again. Bonnie and John pine on Angel from Montgomery is even better.
She did an outdoor concert in northern Massachusetts in 1974 or 75, I got there early and sat in the center of the first row. I was already in love with her and her music.
Oh man I've not heard this how did I miss this thanks for sharing ✌️😀❤️☕☮️
What a great voice Bonnie has, a beautiful woman and an exquisite picker too!
The perfect song …
thank you Stevie Winwood!
I´m walking with you, Bonnie! Whatta tune...
Everybody loves Bonnie!
I sure enough do.
OUTSTANDING
The voice of an angel.
I hadn’t heard this version before, it’s really good.
Love Bonnie! I had not heard her sing this before today. Just beautiful ❤
She's most definitely, got soul!!! ❤❤❤
Always a classic!!
I think Bonnie and Robert Plant should do a project together, their combined love of the old blues stuff and voices together and her slide playing? Could be awesome ❤
Best version of this song ever.
I usually favor original versions of songs, but this is better.....everything she does is golden
Bonnie is a gift from the music gods!!!...what a sexy pic too!
A great rendition of a fave song by a fave performer and musician.
A classic recording, had to buy the CD just to have it. This is when Bonnie first met Lowell. The way Lowell comes in on this song with his slide guitar still gives me the chills...
What is the name of the album/CD? I would like to get it, too.

Played pool with her in the hotel after a DC gig in 1980. Very down to earth and sweet. The real deal
Saw her a few summers ago at Wolftrap, 40 years after your 1980 show. Amazing artist.
Ever Since MtV,in 82,for Me For Bonnie's awesome Music!Take care,nah!Love old Steve Winwood,with Traffic,as well!Cool,tune To Put your Touch on!

Amazing
This' the best female cover of CFMWH I've heard. Bonnie has that Life Experience in her voice that puts the right edge on it.
Love all the elders they have answers
Wow your voice is beautiful!
I just saw her last summer and she is still absolutely amazing!!!
Beautiful.
I love her cover of this Winwood classic.
Great great song
Still an under appreciated genius.
I've considered Bonnie Raitt the Reigning Queen nof R&B, but she's so much more as well. Been a fan for 50 years.
30 years here. Woke up around 91. 💜🎶💜
Been a fan since 1971! Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, beautiful soul🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Mr John Lee Hooker, Called Bonnie Raitt, "the Quenn of The Blues". Now, If Mr Hooker said it, about the Blues, You Know, it MUST be so!
Right up there with you on the 50. I fell in love with her voice and presentation as a young teen and that has never changed. One of the longest constants in my life.
I loved her when we met in 1974, I still do ❤
I need to find a moment to sing with this magnificent Sister!
My all time favorite ❤️
I was watching the CMA’s when Bonnie won the new horizons award. She got up to accept the award and said “you know I’ve been doing this for ten years”
God I love her
Fantastic version.
888 amazing tune by an amazing artist
Beautiful
Bonnie Raitt is truly special (still stunning by the way) and recommend seeing her live if you ever get the chance.
I adore you so much! Thank you 💜
Love me some Ms. Bonnie!
See her live while you can. Fantastic...of course
God the Father broke the mold after HE created Ms. Bonnie Raitt.
Her father is John Raitt , a famous Broadway singer.
Exquisite 😮❤😊
Awesome.
Where dis this amazing version some from?
“Under the Falling Sky” - 2 CD set
Oh my gosh! Thank you, thank you. It means so much to me. TY
The sound quality is horribad but her beautiful vocal performance still comes thru.
It's live from 1972 so...
Lowell George, John Hammond Sr and Jr all were there for this recording, along with some I have likely overlooked.
Freebo was there also
WOW!!
This is even better than the swans effort! Which was quite good!
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is unique

Bitchen' cover, Bonnie is wicked....Aloha
I'd love to see her do a tour with the Tedeschi Trucks Band!!
This song is much better suited to Bonnie's voice than Steve Winwood's. I may be biased. I love her voice.
The original gray streak, eat your heart out Tulsi.
Minnesota girl. 👍
Ledgenary say no more!
That's off the dustiest album ever played
Which album has this recording?
just Bonnie ....
Deepest concerns
Hearing is believing in you
wow
I'd love to spend 30 minutes singing with her.
Who took the photo?

Second only to the original.
Can’t hear it
Ah Bonnie… enough said.
thanks for this rarity! big bonnie since forever....source please...rehearsal?
Such a beautiful soulful rendition. Her voice is soft and expressive.
Beautiful
