Thankyou for a change YT recommendations. Haven't listened to this for years and somehow I forgot it existed until YT popped it up and said "Hey remember this ya used to listen to constantly" How the hell I forgot I don't know.

@@onlyjazztoday for starters you can easily hear every instrument you're seeing in the video, I'll leave the rest to the experts but to me it sounds as crisp as a studio recording and that's rare for a live set
@@onlyjazztoday What MissRandomComment said. It is a bit easier because there are only four instruments to deal with. Still skilful, and the reason why the person has the job.
The multitasking is unreal on some of these organists, to keep that bass grooving with his feet, rocking a solo with your right hand and chords with your left ....
Yes, the sound is impeccable. Their performance, being just a warm up, is also mindblowing. But...did anyone notice the baseline is entirely the organ???? I swear I thought there was a 4th member of the band off-camera laying down a groove. Wow. Just wow.
If you want to be more stunned, The Doors never had a bass player either. They used the Moog Taurus pedal to emulate the bass. Geddy Lee would use it as well whenever he had to play keys. It's very noticeable in live performances of Tom Sawyer.
Yeah its run through something. Brian auger did that on a couple of the trinity tracks. I figured it out watching them on the ill fated monkees tv special that is amazingly bad in a way only late 70s post sid and marty can be (see jim hensons experimental work, the star wars christmas special or that kiss one). These guys are so tight they are beyond the pocket and sound as huge as the ike and tina review. Fudge
Want to see something mind-blowing then? Look up Barbara Dennerlein. She does more with her left foot than most keyboard players will ever do with both hands.
My father came back from the great beyond the day I watched this for the first time. I asked: Why now it's been 6 years? He said the drummer told him it was time. Thanks boys! This is a musical conduit for me and my cool as f*** pops
I got open up for these guys last night. Such awesome dudes. I got to talk to the guitarist, Jimmy James, and he was such a down to earth guy. It was absolutely surreal experience.
Just saw these guys live (different drummer from McGraw, but cool in his own right, and excellent) and they teased the audience with little beginnings to the song "Move on Up" --- it was thereby even more exciting when they DID launch into it! They were fabulous -
Move On Up was played to perfection. The way the song flows is incredible...starts out chill, builds some momentum, cools off again, then nails a climax with all three musicians at peak performance without stepping on each other. And look at their faces...pure joy as they play. More of this please...sobering reminder that wealth and quantity of fans does not accurately measure the quality of a band.
100% agree. I love the way they play it. They could just keep going and going for an hour and it would just be wonderful. Just improv to the same beat. I love musicians who can do this and do it well.
Damn, it’s January 4, 2024. I’m watching these boys again boy they sure know how to kill the pain I must say I’m very thankful and we’re very grateful here in Southern California. Thank you my friends be safe make sure we FASTEN our seatbelts please.,😳🤣🥰
The amount of skill and coordination on the organ is mind boggling. The funkiness and technicality of the guitarist had me jamming. The incredible timing and beats of the drummer had me grooving. This band blew me away.
I love KEXP's recording techniques! Those drums are perfect - without fluff. The mix is fantastic. Whoever set this up must also be a good musician. S/he clearly loves it.
It's unbelievable how underrated the guitarist is in the comments. This guy plays like an absolute beast. I keep returning just to witness his incredible talent. 🔥🔥🔥
yeah, i just posted bout the drummer but you are right this guitarist is just plain good. gives me a complex about my own playing. i dig that organ player too. i don't know, at first i was thinking jazz but now it sounds more like rock. so just good music.

And this kind of think makes me feel good that I haven't cut back - at least for now. Maybe I'm a little overworked and delirious, but good music helps keep you going sometimes. - sigh.
I just love the drummer´s face. That´s almost unreal. So happy. So focus and relaxed at the same time. I wanna have a beer or ten with him. And with the rest of the band. Awesome guys.
For sure when a musician is happy and smiling while playing there’s something extra special about their music…. These folks all tend to have permagrins too while playing… Wes Montgomery, Bobby McFerrin, Mick Fleetwood, Vulfpeck’s awesome bassist, George Clinton etc.

Usually video's like these have comments praising almost exclusively one person in the group. But here I've seen comments praising the organ player, the guitarist, the drummer and the sound technician. That's how you know it is a truly excellent performance.
@@AlanAttack Thanks very much, for the encouragement. I'm still playing, have not given up yet, and I'll never grow up. no matter how old I get. LOL Hope you have a happy healthy new year.
@@WestShoreMan That is inspiring. I took piano lessons, as a kid, and later was a bass player in a band for 20 years. After a 10 year break from being in a band, just when I thought my playin days were over, I got hired to play keyboards, in a really fun band, with lots of paying gigs. Playing Hammond, and electric piano. Dreams can come true. Now just waiting for the pandemic to subside, so I can play some more :-) Delvon Lemar Trio, is a great inspiration for me. Theirs is the kind of energy/quality, I aspire too.
This is the reason I just let youtube play in the background. I never know when some random treasure will come on that will make me go "Wait whaa in the great halls of music is this?" I just discover somebody else to obsess over and my music palette keeps on expanding....these guys are amazing.
Every time I watch this it still amazes me how the keyboardist is able to hold down that bass line with his friggin feet, while he's also playing the lead melody on the keys...just incredible.
That's beacuse he's laid back and knows how to use those ghost notes.to play like this you got to not "try too hard" let the music flow and don't go chasin' it
@academyrulz correct me if I'm wrong but in The Doors Manzarek plays the bass in a different keyboard using his hands, here the Bass is played with the feet, while using both hands to play keaboards, this to me seems like even more challenging.
@@cehdmoy Bass pedals are a normal feature on Hammond organs ...not a midi controller ... save a lot of money not having to pay the bass player ... haha
Ive been playing guitar for over 28 years and drums even longer - I have rarely gotten as excited as this over some funky rhythms and beats on YT. These guys are tight, but not plastic-wrapped tight. When I saw the thumbnail for this clip I just knew good things were in store; the guitarist pulls out a total BoG-era Hendrix-inspired lead (15:08) on that last track - efffin scorching tone! And you can't beat a Hammond, Gretsch and Ampeg combo, such a classic mid-60s setup. Gonna give it a 7th run thru now.....
I know, man. I don't listen to or watch instrumentals really, but this popped up and I knew these guys had to be dope. Turns out the drummer and guitar player are in a band called the True Loves. Tight as fuck.
"Hammond, Gretsch and Ampeg combo" What does that mean? Can u explain how he makes his strat sound the way it does (for people who are not that familiar with too much guitar tech talk)? Would be much appreciated!
@@philippkittmann4752 The organ is a Hammond B3 with a Leslie speaker, the drums are made by Gretsch (killer vintage drumkit) and the guitar amp is an Ampeg, which are very loud and proud to say the least. He is basically using an overdrive pedal to boost the Stratocaster's signal so loudly that the amp starts to really scream. This is something that naturally happens with tube amps when you've dialed it in properly and then kick the overdrive on. Its hard to get that sort of tone at normal volume levels, the amp really needs to be fairly loud for the tubes and speakers to respond like this.
Just saw them in Brooklyn and Jimmy James was an animal on the guitar..... Playing with his teeth Ala Hendrix!! These guys have such a great groove.. Delvon was pushing the drummer like in the Curtis version of Move on up... Great personable band... must see
I keep comig back asking my self... i swear i hear a bass line. Theres gotta be a bass player. Its been tricking my ear for as long as ive seen this video
Jesus, watching these guys is as much fun as listening to them. It's all about the small things. Kudos to KEXP and or or the director for those shots and cuts. Definitely And.
@@abrahamkrantz2143 lol, eternity is the only thing brother ... 'time' is our experience as humans with a finite consciousness, tho many may say that they want to believe that we go on after we're dead, no one really knows ... enjoy your time here ... here's the place to acknowledge the heavenly moment : )
I swear I have had this clip on repeat for the last week. I just cannot stop listening to it. I want to single out each band member for their performances, but I don’t want to take away from any other performance. They’re all equally talented, and just jam so well together. Jimmy’s wailing solos are out of this world. Delvon’s keys are immaculate and mind bending David is a machine. His timing is impeccable. I’m thankful to have discovered this group. You guys have certainly enriched my life.
At about 10 mins into the video, the guitarist takes a solo on the song “Memphis.” It’s the most soulful, funky, heartfelt solo I’ve seen anyone play live. That man is a true inspiration in my book.
Hush now child And don't you cry Your folks might understand you By and by Just move on up Towards your destination Though you may find, from time to time Complication Bite your lip And take a trip Though there may be wet road ahead And you cannot slip Just move on up For peace you will find Into the steeple of beautiful people Where there's only one kind So hush now, child And don't you cry Your folks might understand you By and by Move on up And keep on wishin' Remember your dream is your only scheme So keep on pushin' Take nothing less Than the supreme best Do not obey rumors people say 'Cause you can pass the test Just move on up To a greater day With just a little faith, if you put your mind to it You can surely do it
As a long time guitarist and bass player, I have a hard time wrapping my head around how keyboard players play. But when you throw in playing that funky bass line with your left foot my head explodes...
The drummer is my insurance agent, so deep in the groove its actually a rut, the guitarist is BB King's kid and the keyboardist is the happiest, chillest man alive....
I thought he is playing the bass with the left hand like Ray Manzarek of The Doors. but yeah, the left foot looks like bass movement. So can someone please explain what´s going on here? alos note his right foot is also controlling the sound of the organ music.
as I understand it, the b3 has a bass section on the keyboard that's redundant with the bass pedal keys. One can switch back and forth pretty fluidly (same volume/tone). The right foot is volume. add in the speed control for the leslie, all the different tone bar combos and it's easily one of the most expressive instruments ever created by man. And yeah, doing this is pretty standard for all true jazz/soul organists, but it still blows me away everytime I see it done as well as this. Check out Jimmy Smith for more virtuoso organ playing.
@@bluceree7312 an earlier commenter who said he was an organist mentioned that the guy was doubling (playing the same line) with the left hand and feet - which he said is a classic jazz organ style. And sometimes just using the foot to accentuate a beat while playing the bass line mainly with the left hand. I'm sure Delvin Lamarr can do it both ways. Awesome!
The guy on the guitar makes you want to rewind and listen again.
and again!
I agree with you. I am a guitarist myself. But the keyboard player is also very good.
Damn! You guess it!!!
how yall doin today?... time to listen again. 🕰

I hope everyone’s day is vibing today as that guitar player is.
The way these guys are all making eye contact with one another and are completely in tune with one another is what gets me.
that's all the talkin' necessary 😊
i wish these guys lived next door to me and kept me up all night
That would be amazing man
Yes.
But also... that's what she said.
Your comment rules
You might wanna rephrase that
Man talk about just stumbling into some great music on a Sunday afternoon. I don't even know how the hell I got here!
Same here! Hahaha!
Same thing here.
check out - The True Loves - same guitarist and drummer... with a horn section. tight band.

From Radio Moscow to LA Salami to this. I can roll with that.
This is amazing!!!
I keep coming back to this one, whenever I need a lift. Great performance!
Same👍🏽
Yea ,Man !
Lord have mercy. So much funk in here I had to open some windows.
Like nine cans of shaving powder that's funky!
That's beacuse he's laid back and knows how to use those ghost notes.to play like this you got to not "try too hard" let the music flow and don't go chasin' it
Andrew Gimme some air
I miss live music so much. How could someone outside walk past and not be mesmerized by this magic trio??
miss ?
@@marvin2678 must be a covidiot
Real tight groove, and a great chemistry with these musicians!
This is peak youtube right here. I have listened to this jam multiple times a week since I found it. Just amazing.
Still one of the most amazing performances I've seen.
Tak 👍👍👍
And they were "just" warming up. I replay this for HOURS!
Wait - who's playing the bass? Oh. Ohhhhhhh.... Wow.
@academyrulz correct me if I'm wrong but in The Doors Manzarek plays the bass in a different keyboard using his hands, here the Bass is played with the feet, while using both hands to play keaboards, this to me seems like even more challenging.
@academyrulz got it. will go to see some The Doors live videos also. regards
Is that the organ sound, or is like a midi controller (very vintage look) that he's playing with his feet?
@@cehdmoy Bass pedals are a normal feature on Hammond organs ...not a midi controller ... save a lot of money not having to pay the bass player ... haha
@@bonaccordians OhI didn't know it, thanks!!!
love their take on "Move on up" that i had it played at my wedding in Portland in October '23. Crowd loved it
Ive been playing guitar for over 28 years and drums even longer - I have rarely gotten as excited as this over some funky rhythms and beats on YT. These guys are tight, but not plastic-wrapped tight. When I saw the thumbnail for this clip I just knew good things were in store; the guitarist pulls out a total BoG-era Hendrix-inspired lead (15:08) on that last track - efffin scorching tone! And you can't beat a Hammond, Gretsch and Ampeg combo, such a classic mid-60s setup. Gonna give it a 7th run thru now.....
I could be wrong, but it looks like it says Silvertone on the headstock of the hollow body. 2:31 Crazy, right?
@@_Peremalfait It certainly does. It sounds incredible. Those Magic Fingers don't need any quarters to pump out a rhythm.
I know, man. I don't listen to or watch instrumentals really, but this popped up and I knew these guys had to be dope. Turns out the drummer and guitar player are in a band called the True Loves. Tight as fuck.
"Hammond, Gretsch and Ampeg combo" What does that mean? Can u explain how he makes his strat sound the way it does (for people who are not that familiar with too much guitar tech talk)? Would be much appreciated!
@@philippkittmann4752 The organ is a Hammond B3 with a Leslie speaker, the drums are made by Gretsch (killer vintage drumkit) and the guitar amp is an Ampeg, which are very loud and proud to say the least. He is basically using an overdrive pedal to boost the Stratocaster's signal so loudly that the amp starts to really scream. This is something that naturally happens with tube amps when you've dialed it in properly and then kick the overdrive on.
Its hard to get that sort of tone at normal volume levels, the amp really needs to be fairly loud for the tubes and speakers to respond like this.
Just saw them in Brooklyn and Jimmy James was an animal on the guitar..... Playing with his teeth Ala Hendrix!! These guys have such a great groove.. Delvon was pushing the drummer like in the Curtis version of Move on up... Great personable band... must see
Lucky you saw that crew while it lasted
My clock was off so had to play this warmup to SET MY CLOCK by THESE DRUMS.
They look just right. The sound is PERFECT.
4 years later and I still enjoy this as if I’m listening to it for the first time!
Same
I love how some people just pass. And then there are those who get hooked instantly and they realize what beauty is unraveling in front of them.
Невозможно не улыбаться слушая этих виртуозов
This masterpiece saved my life! More than once, actually. True story!
Check out Herbie Hancock Wah Wah Watson Netherlands. Break in case of emergency. Big love dood. Stick around for the ride.
Ya’ll understand Lamar is playing the bassline on the organ too, right?? Too much , too funky, god bless
I keep comig back asking my self... i swear i hear a bass line. Theres gotta be a bass player. Its been tricking my ear for as long as ive seen this video
@@leemiera84 us bass players that play with an organist just kinda nod and walk off to get a beer.. darn it!
reminding me of the classic musician joke.. "how many bass players does it take to change a light bulb.. none the organist can do it with their feet."
Just like the Doors... They had no bassist, it was all Ray Manzarek on keyboard.
yes, the organ just like keys / piano allows one to play the treble & bass at the same damn time.
Jesus, watching these guys is as much fun as listening to them. It's all about the small things. Kudos to KEXP and or or the director for those shots and cuts. Definitely And.
He knows everything already, no need to tell Him.🤣
so very grateful for the quality of recording these days, . . . wonderful moments like this captured for eternity
Not eternity my friend. Eventually all that we know will be destroyed.
Even though this will be here for a looooong time.
Time doesnt exist anyways
eternity doesn't exist, just naysayin.
@@abrahamkrantz2143 lol, eternity is the only thing brother ... 'time' is our experience as humans with a finite consciousness, tho many may say that they want to believe that we go on after we're dead, no one really knows ... enjoy your time here ... here's the place to acknowledge the heavenly moment : )
Sounds great !!🙏🏾❤️
This is the kind of music I live for. The guitar solo in Memphis is absolute fucking fire!
The drummer is amazing.
as a bass player i forgive them for not using the bass. this hammond plays for itself. this is pure gold. what a sound!
Djordje Simic I totally miss the bass...
I am primarily a bassist as well, but understand that organ trios are a different format.
Seriously... Delvon's left foot is an excellent bassist.
But I stiill want a nice basist with them
i can't believe he's playing all that with his foot!?!
"Gigs downtown, we're gonna need suits" Excellent playing and sound mix , love the pedal bass, guitar licks and drums.
Killer drummer.
I swear I have had this clip on repeat for the last week. I just cannot stop listening to it.
I want to single out each band member for their performances, but I don’t want to take away from any other performance. They’re all equally talented, and just jam so well together.
Jimmy’s wailing solos are out of this world.
Delvon’s keys are immaculate and mind bending
David is a machine. His timing is impeccable.
I’m thankful to have discovered this group. You guys have certainly enriched my life.
These guys look into each other's souls in the nicest possible way.
At about 10 mins into the video, the guitarist takes a solo on the song “Memphis.” It’s the most soulful, funky, heartfelt solo I’ve seen anyone play live. That man is a true inspiration in my book.
0:25 Move On Up
5:25 Memphis
12:23 South Leo St. Stomp
Papa Bless. (someone pin that comment!)
5:25 The Meters?
Any idea of the original or cover of the song Memphis? I swear I've known that song before but I can't think from where!
Untitled is called "South Leo St. Stomp" on their Album "Live at KEXP!"
Touch the sky
My man, this speaks directly to my soul.
The riff at 10:02 is absolutely killer. Playing one note and messing around the the rhythm is so sick. I’m entirely sincere.
Hush now child
And don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
By and by
Just move on up
Towards your destination
Though you may find, from time to time
Complication
Bite your lip
And take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
And you cannot slip
Just move on up
For peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind
So hush now, child
And don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
By and by
Move on up
And keep on wishin'
Remember your dream is your only scheme
So keep on pushin'
Take nothing less
Than the supreme best
Do not obey rumors people say
'Cause you can pass the test
Just move on up
To a greater day
With just a little faith, if you put your mind to it
You can surely do it
This video gives me so much happiness everyday
As a long time guitarist and bass player, I have a hard time wrapping my head around how keyboard players play. But when you throw in playing that funky bass line with your left foot my head explodes...
That Strat is a true relic, never seen a guitar so worn out. Magnificent
It's seen things.
@@lordmaximus5955 yes it is what?
Oh man, that guitar is soooo good! I'm loving this groove.
The drummer is my insurance agent, so deep in the groove its actually a rut, the guitarist is BB King's kid and the keyboardist is the happiest, chillest man alive....
playing the organ with both hands and playing the bassline to the song with your left foot. bruh. what a legend
Is he actually doing that? Thats fucking insane!!!
That's every organ player
I thought he is playing the bass with the left hand like Ray Manzarek of The Doors. but yeah, the left foot looks like bass movement. So can someone please explain what´s going on here? alos note his right foot is also controlling the sound of the organ music.
as I understand it, the b3 has a bass section on the keyboard that's redundant with the bass pedal keys. One can switch back and forth pretty fluidly (same volume/tone). The right foot is volume. add in the speed control for the leslie, all the different tone bar combos and it's easily one of the most expressive instruments ever created by man. And yeah, doing this is pretty standard for all true jazz/soul organists, but it still blows me away everytime I see it done as well as this.
Check out Jimmy Smith for more virtuoso organ playing.
@@bluceree7312 an earlier commenter who said he was an organist mentioned that the guy was doubling (playing the same line) with the left hand and feet - which he said is a classic jazz organ style. And sometimes just using the foot to accentuate a beat while playing the bass line mainly with the left hand. I'm sure Delvin Lamarr can do it both ways. Awesome!
Drummer looks like a lawyer who made a 20 minute stop on his way to the courthouse.
looks like a FBI agent to me
@@xev1435 Federal Bureau of INSANE drummers
He actually is an homeopathic medicine practitioner in Seattle...and ill drummer!
Yes because lawyers are white guys.
LOL. White guys with HELLA rhythm apparently
I’ve been a huge fan for the past year. Can’t believe i’m just hearing this now
