Jim Gordon on drums, I have a great Jim Gordon story…
Back in the early 70’s when he was touring as Traffic’s drummer, I was working the gig at the Anaheim Convention Center, I do my job during the warmup acts and was free to hang out backstage during the show.
As Traffic was heading towards the stage Jim saw me and invited me to hang out behind his drum kit. As it turned out, his drum tech handled his drumming issues, and I turned out to be is booze tech, he handled me a bottle and told me to give it to him every time he turned around to me between songs and told me that I was free to help myself to the bottle, I was maybe 16 or 17 at the time.
I love Traffic...Ginger Baker r.i.p.
How do you feel knowing he killed his mother and sent to prison.
@@guyray1504 he was undiagonosed with severe schizophrenia and hammered his mother to death. Then stabbed her repeatedly. Really horrific. Died in prison last year. Brilliant drummer. Extremely deranged mind.
Harry Nilsson has phenomenal range. He was known to do all the backing vocals, singing in different ranges. Paul McCartney said Harry was his favorite singer.
Need to hit "Coconut" by Harry.
Harry was a troubled soul who died too young. He was chums with some Beatles and colabbed. He has some other songs you should hear - Coconus, Everybody's Talking, and Without You.
Nilsson was a musical genius on the level of his contemporaries such as Paul McCartney and John Lennon etc. Almost no one knows about him because of his untimely death at an early age unfortunately. This entire album you're showing in the video is an absolute gem.
RIP Harry. You died way to young brother.
Classic bass line then the drums come in. Pure dope. If this song doesn't have your feet stomping and head bobbling maybe nothing will. Harry has a rabbit hole to jump into. Excellent reaction fellas. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
5:50 Bass Dive Bombing... lol
Herbie Flowers! One of the best bass intros in music!
I don't think this guy has a bad song. Amazing that he is not more well known. He was famous for a while back in the 70s of course.
My favorite Nilsson song is "me and my arrow" from the 1971 cartoon he helped write and produce, THE POINT. (About individualism and conformity).
The Great Harry Nilsson. He can write, sing and arrange anything. He won a grammy for the Theme song to the Hollywood movie "Midnight Cowboy." One of the most talented artists ever. He has a catalogue of hits he wrote for other artists as well.
Thanks guys
Actually, even though 'Everybody's Talkin' ' is a great tune and was in the movie, The theme song for Midnight Cowboy was the instrumental harmonica piece 'Midnight Cowboy Theme' by John Barry.....
@@Neillybob63 And "Everybody's Talkin'" was written by Fred Neil.
And Harry’s “Everybody’s Talkin’” is a cover of the great Fred Neil, who is the original writer and performer of the song. Harry did a great version that perfectly captured the ethos of the film.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 Yeah, Harry had a knack for taking other people's songs and making them (in my opinion) better, like what you mentioned and Pete Ham's 'Without You' for instance... to do a better version than Badfinger themselves is something else!
Hey. I thought JOHN BARRY wrote, composed the theme song for Midnight Cowboy ❓🎵 Maybe another song in the movie was Harry's. Either way...his talent was so underappreciated. This song is a Banger🎵Love that these 2 REACTORS lock in right away to greatness.
One of my top 10 songs of all time. Had his album at the time and played this incessantly and we’d all get up and dance crazy-like! 53 years ago, too.
👍 You guys got it going on.
Put the lime in the coconut 🏝️
Over the last few days you have been playing song from members of a 70's drinking group called the Hollywood Vampires. Alice Cooper was President and members included Keith Moon of the Who, Harry Nilsson, John Lennon, Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees. Other members were Ringo Starr, Iggy Pop, and Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. Maybe songs from those members would be appropriate as well!
They still exist with Johnny Depp on bass.
Jim Gordon's drumming in this is effin' tribal. Makes me want to dance nekkid around a fire. Everything about this song is epic.
😂😂😂
In the 70’s I’d see colors while listening to this 😂
Toke up bro..
Weird, but True Trivia: Both Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas and Keith Moon, drummer from The Who died in Harry Nilsson’s London Apartment. The musical icons were mutual friends with Nilsson and both died at age 32, just four years apart, in the same exact room. Bizarre but True!
Yep, Curzon Square in Mayfair. He was reluctant to allow Keith Moon stay there believing it was cursed. Pete Townshend told him lightning doesn't strike twice but was unfortunately proved wrong. Harry sold the flat - to Pete Townshend
I had always wondered who did this while watching the helicopter scene in 'Goodfellas'.... never kew Harry could actually rock out like that!
you guys are a class act
Whole lp is one of the greatest vocal showcases out there.
Nilsson was tight with John Lennon and the boys, great album.
Ck out the album Pussycats...he and Lennon recorded around their "lost weekend " time
That is a great album
Always recall this song from the movie Goodfellas…a great song to end a classic movie! That aside, my wife loves Everybody’s Talkin…from the movie Midnight Cowboy…makes her cry..Harry was just soo creative and talented!..and I agree, y’all are a class act, and the best reactors on TH-cam!
It's the underlying track to one of the key scenes in the movie
Whenever I hear this I look out my car window expecting to see a helicopter
Just played this song last night on my McIntosh MA8900 w/Klipsch La Scalas w/two REL 1510 subwoofers…I don’t always listen to this song but when I do, so do my neighbors
His version of Badfinger's Classic "withoutyou" is the definitive version.
The great Jim Gordon on drums! (Yes. I know what he did but he was best in business at that time). Loved Harry! Great reaction, great song!
That is a groove that is hard to shut down.
Detuning the bass and bringing it back was epic.
Harry had such a pure voice. His song "Without You" is a classic. Jim Gordon was on drums.
Amazing range
RIP JIM hope you find peace
Have to give a shout out to Herbie Flowers on bass
The song Without You comes from the English band Badfinger, I forgot it too. Harry's version is the best, don't like the later Diva version at all.
Harry Nilsson is a one-album wonder, I think he also worked with John Lennon.
Harry Nilsson and Jim Gordon. Talk about a tragic combo.
@@jpmnewyorkJim Gordon murdered his mother and was a convicted murderer. Tragic for his mother yes.
You can pick most any album from the 70s, especially the early 70s, and at least one part of it will be magical. Then there are many albums like this with lots of magical moments.
When John Lennon split from Yoko for three years he went on a bender, did solo stuff with Bowie, Elton John and Harry. The stories of their escapades are legendary in the L A scene of that period.
"Son of Nilson" album has many cameos on it.
Always cool when someone jumps into Harry Nillson.
Phenomenal vocalist. His version of "Without You" (Originally by Badfinger and later by Mariah Carey) is incredible, as well as his first big hit "Everybody's Talkin'". He and John Lennon were friends and drinking buddies, as well as members of the Hollywood Vampires drinking club along with Alice Cooper, Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, and Mickey Dolenz...
THANK YOU! This song made my day! I'm so glad you were able to check out Harry Nilsson. The bass and the drums really grab you on this one. Best when played extremely loud! I was a teenager when this album came out, and I got to listen to my Dad's copy on a killer stereo. Thanks Dad! And thanks to you guys for your great reactions. You have created an awesome channel.
That whole album is fantastic. Harry Could sing his ass off.
Went to a Uriah Heep Concert in the 70s and the sound guys used this before the show to set up the sound system... blew us away when the bass kicks in during the drum solo shook the walls of the auditorium. Great tune Whole Album worth listening to.
Nilsson was incredible. True original artist.
He even wrote for The Monkees.
The drummer is Jim Gordon, co-writer of Layla
I loved what I’d heard of this the first time watching Goodfellas, not knowing it was Harry Nilsson. I looked it up a couple years later and was blown down hearing it from beginning to end. So glad to see a couple of high level people checking it out. I was a kid hearing his first stuff on the radio. He’s worth learning about.
What a banger! Spaceman, Remember and The Coconut Song are must listen to songs. He had such a beautiful 3 and 1/2 octave range voice and was so versatile. Back in the 80s our office always listened to his albums on Fridays.
Don't forget WITHOUT YOU...
That bass playing gave new meaning to the phrase 'holding down the bottom'. Great track from a great album. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks guys, you brought me back to being a kid playing this with my 2 brothers, really loud. We would all pretend to play along, fighting over who was the drummer. Haven't heard this in years. Harry was a very talented guy.
as soon as i saw this reaction come up-i had to watch, i knew you guys would dig it. FWIW- EVERY Nilsson song has production that is OFF THE CHARTS great
My favorite part in Good Fellas
Side two of this album is one of the greatest you'll ever hear. There is a reason John and Paul said he was the best songwriter in the world at one point. He's also a cautionary tale, the stories of his partying are wild, he and Keith Moon would hangout! Just imagine what those two animals got up to.
I love Harry! Please do more. ✌️♥️🎶
The whole album is really good. I was listened to it a lot when it was realeased in the seventies something. Harry was a great singer.
One of my all time favorites- still have my original 45 from back in the day.
this was one of his more intense pieces and a great one at that. Yet he is noted mostly for the purity of his voice. Try 'Without You' as an example. This album and 'Son of Schmilsson' are both great to listen to.
If you’ve seen the film Goodfellas, you will have already heard this on the soundtrack
Another great song from 1971
How low can you go? Herbie Flowers bass shows us.
You've heard Harry Nilsson before but he's like Leon Russel, an actual legend behind the legends.
Thanks for finally getting to this song. It has always been one of my favorites.
In my top 5 Nilsson compositions...great reaction guys.
This cat it different. In a good way. He very seldom performed live. Early on (60’s) it seems like he got good at recording his vocal, then adding multiple tracks of himself singing in harmony. He probably wasn’t the first to do it, but at the time, having just one guy singing a song in four-part-harmony was fairly new and probably not easy to do.
One of the most underrated albums of all time! Thanks for the reaction
That bass, that bass! Drums are tribal! Thanks guys
Nilsson did all backing vocals on all his albums
The bass in this jam is soooooo good!!
Oh man, you've started a fire with Nilsson. So many more. Great job!
Harry Neilson is a rabbit hole if amazing tunes, to me. React to some more of his magic... "Without You" is a good start. Great reaction as usual!! ✌ Jodi/child of the 60s
Another all time fave! This whole album kicks ass! I have it on vinyl and between me and my room mate we have 3 copies of it on CD. This is the soundtrack of many of our long desert cruises. So so many great songs! I would suggest the quircky "Early In The Morning". His vocals on that one, hell, on the whole album, are incredible! Glad that you have discovered this gem!
I've about worn the groves off this LP. Complete total classic. Nice job gentlemen.
I love this song.
Hell I was ready ti jump into the fire after that. Watch the doc Who’s Harry? One of the best voices and songwriters. His two biggest hits were covers though. Not bad for a guy who worked in a bank.
Harry was also buddies with John Lennon, he never got over John's death😢😊
All the instruments gathered outside of studio after recording, and lit one up!. 😂
Nilsson!! Love him!
Check the back of the album and see all the great artist that helped on this record
There's a section of the song where you hear the bass going lower and lower... That's Klaus Voorman detuning his low E string, thinking that the track was over... Then you can hear the bass going back up... 😁
this song is like hearing what infinity sounds like to me
Helicopter scene - Goodfellas, iconic
This song as you've heard is all guts and drums, but others on this album are beautiful ballads like "Without You". Then there are the minimalisms of 'Early in the Morning' and 'The Moonbeam Song'. He was such a great singer and this one album is the showcase piece. But his catalogue is quite extensive and deserves a deeper dive. Thanks ✌
I believe Harry played every instrument. He was a maniac whose good friend was Keith Moon
10.14.23. When I hear this song, I am always reminded of the movie Goodfellas©️…… Henry and Lorraine🫨
Yup - hard not to think of that.
It was 1975 and my Manager (we worked at McDonalds) took a few of us to his house were he lived with his Mom. It was about 10pm and we went to the basement had some SMOKE and he played this while a strobe light was on. I was 17 and I learned how to do the ROBOT that night.
This reminds me of the helicopter scene in (Goodfellas) chasing Henry Hill “Ray Liotta”
R.I.P. 😢
“Do You See It”
“Do You See It”
My first Nilsson was "Breaking my Heart"
"Prophets of Doom" CLUTCH
Read that JOHN LENNON was a big fan of Harry's. Understandable. Every song completely and utterly different. Bravo ❗
☮️ That was 🔥🔥✌️☮️
I don’t know about the damn pan, but y’all sure enough “Jump(ed) Into The Fire” with Harry Nilsson my Dudes! 🔥
Nilsson definitely rocks!
Another great reaction Fellas!!! 👍💥
It always sounded to me like Harry is trying to convince the girl that they’d make each other happy, but she’s not buying into it. The singing and music starts enthusiastic then gets more desperate as he begs and pleads with her “WE CAN MAKE EACHOTHER HAPPY!!!!” She’s the one singing NO NO!
Still got the single absolutely brilliant 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👌😎
Cool. I never knew who sang this. Have not heard it since the 1980’s
It's always a trip when you find out something like this!
TH-cam reactions are finding lots of good music I missed over the years. I probably thought Harry Nilsson was one of Ozzy and Harriet's kids and didn't listen to him because. LOL. I am totally wrong!@@wayL0ck
One of Rock Music's most colorful characters!
Back in the late 70s, whenever I'd play this album, I'd always follow it up with 'Songs in the Key of Life' for a full spectrum of virtuosity. Harry Nilsson to Stevie Wonder, now that's a great afternoon!🔥
Thanks, I might try that out this afternoon!
👍😎@@parsleyqueen
Boy! That tempo will have you up & running and your cardio racing in no time...Great song!
that whole album
Im goin to do this on my looper right nnaaow.
Was a banger when it came out. Is a banger now.
One of the most iconic songs, bass lines, and drum solos in the annals of Rock. You guys owe yourselves the treat of reacting to LCD sound systems 2011 cover, it's every bit the equal of the original. Harry jumped too soon! R.i.P.
as a viewer it's fun when you know what's coming, and get to see your reaction to it. i knew that drum and bass section would grab you guys. that bass was tuned about as low as it could go.
that was Jim Gordon, the drummer from Traffic on this track and the whole album.
My senior year in H.S. everyone had this album❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
They shoot, they score! Harry at his creative best. Enjoy Bros.
"NILSSON SCHMILLSON" ALBUM WITH WARPED IT!!!🎹🎹🎸🎸🎷🎷🎤🎤🎺🎺🎵🎸🎶🎵🎶🎹🎵
You guys need to listen to The Point. Excellent album
Review "Without You". This song and Jump Into the Fire, along with others, is on Nilsson Shmilsson album. You've heard the song I'm sure since Mariah Carey covered. it
John Lennon called him the songwriter's songwriter.
More Harry please! Coconut Song is a must..
Same album Early in the morning. Everybody's Talking from movie midnight cowboy. Without you what a love sing
This guy is very eclectic, musically hell try anything.... my fav. Is everybody's talking ar me.... from Midnight Cowboy
It's a classic with a great bass riff.
