I feel like if they had recorded this in a studio, with each track painstakingly edited and corrected, picking only the best takes, with effects, a producer and a studio engineer, it would still be not better than this live version. These people are so good that their average performance any given day is the same performance that ideal conditions and total forgiveness for any mistake can bring. As someone else said in the comments, I wonder how many people truly appreciate how much work one needs to sound this good.
These guys are just incredible musicians & Alex Ligertwood's vocals are phenomenal! I wonder if people who have never played any kind of music can even understand or appreciate how hard it is to sound this good!
It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 years since this recording and it’s so relevant today.There’s a reason why Alexander Sang for Santana anyone else for that matter.Makes you wanna jump on a plane away from this virus back to those times. That’s OK don’t lose hope, this too shall pass.Peace
Killer band, sizzling performance! Each player plays with finesse, no excessive overplaying. Of course, there's David Garfield on keys,. Steve Ferrone on drums, John Pena on bass, Lenny Castro on percussion, Alex Ligertwood on vocals, and James Harrah on guitar. One thing though, i feel that Alex put a high note too many on some parts, which sound a bit strained. but otherwise, a great vocal showmanship. To sound good and tasteful and groovy is a skill that these guys have through experience and discipline, i can honestly say as a musician myself. Two thumbs up!
It really is ... not rushed and totally in keeping with the smooth groove but also keeps the listener on the hook... bloody tremendous . Plus Garfield is always outstanding
tom bryson maybe it‘s because they see music more then they listen to it and get confused when a drummer is doing suddenly anything else than playing a „groove“, „beat“ a.s.o.
Never heard of these guys but I'm impressed with how that singer can hit those high notes. As I've gotten older my range has diminished so my hat is definitely off to him.
This whole band is in nothing worse than the guys from Toto. Incredible groove, solo mastery, very nice arrangement of this song. And i say this as a very die-hard Toto fan.
Alex Ligertwood is one of my favorite singers, ever. Brilliant! I watched him live in Lisbon many years ago with Santana, maybe in the 80s or early 90s. And the rest of the band is awesome too: David Garfield (Keys), Steve Ferrone (drums), John Peña (bass), James Harrah (guitar), Lenny Castro (percussion). Greetings from Portugal.
When Alex hits the high notes, the hair on my neck stands on end and good vibes fill my body. Even more so when he sings ''Hold On'' with the ''Magic Of Santana.'' th-cam.com/video/pVztH6BrjMg/w-d-xo.html
It's not your situation I just need contemplation over you I'm not so systematic It's just that I'm an addict for your love Not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You're my only girl I'm not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You're my only world Just think how long I've known you It's long for me to own you, lock and key It's really not confusing I'm just the young illusion, can't you see I'm not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You're my only girl I'm not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You're my only world Georgy Porgy, pudding pie Kissed the girls
So we're talking about David Garfield on keys, John Pena on baaaassss, Lenny Castro on percs, Steve Ferrone on drums, James Harrah on guitar . Did i tell you this is a backing band you'd sell pop & mom to get them ?

ONE TAKE >either in the studio or at a venue !!
💕🤗
Well said
Well SAID!! Phenomenal arrangement!! The SINGING! The SOLO’s!! OUT-STANDING!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Recording is on a great technical level, but it is all because of the musicians. These are masters, unsung heroes....
Alex Ligertwood is for me one of the greatest singers ever. The band is great too!

By far the best non-Toto version I've heard.
HagbardCeline42 , Live as well yet different arrangements. 🤙
this guy Alex Ligertwood is really awesome what a voice after all these years i take my hat off to him.
One of the best ever. I wouldn't expect any less from Alex. Always was one the best Rock/Soul singers over time. Todays youth should study the greats.
Charlie M , been following him since early Brian Augger & the Oblivion Express and Santana. 🤙

one of the greatest singer of all time. Alex sang for Santana and was his own
What a wonderful singer 🔥🔥🔥
Excellent singer!
This guy was great with Santana too!
lpgoog Cantou durante anos com Carlos Santana.
So he was with Santana? Well, that explains why he sounds so awesome.
I always wondered who that was singing on those awesome Santana albums
Santana is great with anybody.
Yep
Damn what a kickin version.
James Harrah...
One of Toto's BEST and great treatment by Alex...
This drummer is Steve Ferrone, a great groover
He used to sit in on so many sessions recorded in the L.A. studio circuit. Yes, a groove 'monster' indeed, amazing!
Cover eccezzionale
Well, probably the best groover out there.
@@wesboundmusic jjjj
@@gabriellaamatucci9079 Ma non vorrai paragonarlo alla motonave Achille Lauro spero... 🤔😅😂😂😂👍
Alexander J Ligertwood is a boss. That dude has some amazing vocal chops.
Apart from Steve Lukather, this is the best guitar solo I've ever heard on Georgy Porgy!
James Harrah
It really is ... not rushed and totally in keeping with the smooth groove but also keeps the listener on the hook... bloody tremendous . Plus Garfield is always outstanding
The one and only James Harrah, on guitar..
This performance felt like i was teleported to the late 70's or early 80's. Kudos to this band and especially the guitarist and vocalist.
The best version of "Georgy Porgy" I ever heard, unbelievable...!
Best 'Georgy Porgy' ever!
The best Santana singer ever....
He is my idol since over 35 years! You are in my heart Alex!
Alex, you are something else , your heart is grand as much as your voice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I met him over 30 years ago. Such a kind humble man.
Alex was the singer for Santana for many years Hell of a talent--
Just..wow..luv how laid back this rendition lays it down..🇨🇦
wow, I love this, Ferrone, what a groove Master!!!!!
Giulio Zambelli Agreed. Why do camera men always focus on another band member when there’s a drum break?
tom bryson maybe it‘s because they see music more then they listen to it and get confused when a drummer is doing suddenly anything else than playing a „groove“, „beat“ a.s.o.
super le groove yes !
Feronne I guess was a former member of ( AWB) Average White Band
Stupendous!! Alex is a killer vocalist at his age and especially after belting those songs out for so many years.
Csoda ő maga a zene. A vérében van ezt a stílust nem lehet tanulni ezel születni kell. Ő az igazi ritkaság. 🙏 😘 ♥️
WOW .......NOW THAT WAS SOMETHING FANTASTIC ......WELL DONE !
Never heard of these guys but I'm impressed with how that singer can hit those high notes. As I've gotten older my range has diminished so my hat is definitely off to him.
You've never heard of Creachy, Peña, Castro???
@@crazyferret9409 gen thingy :-)
Very nice!
From 78 to 95 he was the lead singer of Santana
Hes only 29
Amazing Singer.
I love his personality.

This whole band is in nothing worse than the guys from Toto. Incredible groove, solo mastery, very nice arrangement of this song.
And i say this as a very die-hard Toto fan.

It's not your situation
I just need contemplation over you
I'm not so systematic
It's just that I'm an addict for your love
Not the only one that holds you
I never ever should have told you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you
I never ever should have told you
You're my only world
Just think how long I've known you
It's long for me to own you, lock and key
It's really not confusing
I'm just the young illusion, can't you see
I'm not the only one that holds you
I never ever should have told you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you
I never ever should have told you
You're my only world
Georgy Porgy, pudding pie
