I saw Delaney & Bonnie in 1969 at the age of 14. It changed my life, period In their time, the were indeed the best thing going. I was too young to understand that I was seeing the seed bed for so much music to come and so many great, great musicians were launching from there. I've had a crush on Bonnie since that night at the Forum in Inglewood and still haven't changed my mind. Holy smokes, Delaney you did good!
The series house band, the Shin-diggers (later renamed the Shindogs), featured a young Glen Campbell, Joey Cooper, Chuck Blackwell (drums), Billy Preston, James Burton, Delaney Bramlett, Larry Knechtel (on bass) and pianist Leon Russell.[6] The Blossoms, an all-female vocal group featuring Darlene Love, backed up many of the performers and were occasionally featured in spotlight performances. Donna Loren, Jackie DeShannon and Bobby Sherman were also regular vocalists on the series.[6]
In 2002 Delaney stopped by Kulak's Woodshed in Van Nuys and recorded this sad and haunting solo. "Everybody Loves A Winner". You could see the sadness and regret in his eyes and hear it in his voice.
Flangum, thanks for posting this awesome clip. It's a shame that there aren't more people aware of all of the contributions made by DB to rock and popular music.
They put together a hot band after the late '60s' line-up, and a couple of the participants went on to become members of Little Feat. But that golden era ('68-'72) was passing---and the rest of the '70s wasn't a very friendly place for the soulful Rock N Roll of D&B. Unfortunately they were never fully appreciated in their own time and I wouldn't place much stock in the knowledge of young people about this era. They may know the top stars but aren't like to have heard of hidden gems like D&B.
Delaney was an old friend but his music lives on.Rhino Handmade will issue a four disc 52-track deluxe edition in July. The set will feature more than three hours of unreleased music from Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett and their “friends.”
Just read about the house band for this show, and HOLY CRAP did it have an epic group of session guys or what? It's a virtual who's who of 60s session gods.
They adiosed the Bramletts one way or another and Delaney and Bonnie never had that kind of status or musical platform again. You talk to anybody up North in this day and age about Delaney and Bonnie (especially younger folk) and they say WHO? Too few albums, not enough hits, but before the personnel movement, their band was making the best and most original-sounding music around.

I think you have it a little bit backwards. Carl Radle, Jim Gordon, and finally Bobby Whitlock left Delaney and Bonnie's band in the spring of 1970 to join Eric Clapton in forming Derek and the Dominos. I think you're thinking of Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour of 1970, on which Leon Russell assembled members of Joe's Grease Band together with session players from Shelter Records for form one of the largest and greatest rock groups ever assembled.
From a "People" online article quoting Bonnie Bramlett Sheridan "Delaney and I were abusive to each other," she says. "We fought a lot-heavy-duty physical stuff. It wasn't nice to be around, and I'm sure it wasn't fun to watch." Just so you all know it wasn't a one-way abuse - I'm not defending him I'm just clarifying the facts.
I know Toni Basil was an assistant choreographer on Shindig, but does anyone know if that's her at the end of this video, to the left of Delaney (stage-right)?
That year the girls would scream for English bands , an Elvis style singer not so much . Some producer prodded the audience to react this way . Still , a cool clip for its rarity .
Eric, George, Bobby, Jim, Duane, Gregory, Jim, Carl, Leon, Rita, Bonnie, and oodles of others, the list goes on forever, he affected everybody on the Scene, jùs sàyin ¡♥️😎♥️¡
Jim Gordon, Bobby Keys, Rita Coolidge, Carl Radle to name a few were ALLmembers of Delaney's band RIGHT BEFORE Mad Dogs and Englishmen were formed. So how do I have it backwards. Call it a different band name like the Grease band if you want, but theft is theft. And yes, Clapton's Dominoes band was also composed of people HE stole from Delaney and Bonnie. Not much acknowledgement of that ever came from either Cocker or Clapton. That's just plain wrong. Sorry.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Did anyone have a contract? If all of them were DB band, was he a generous, ample or stingy employer? I get the idea that everyone played (just to keep playing) until something better came along - that why the name was “DB & Friends”. They rolled in & out, the way musicians do.

He wrote "Bell Bottom Blues" and Clapton and the label fucked him and didn't give him any credit for it. Edit : I was incorrect. It was Bobby Whitlock who wrote it.

I got to work with DB in the late 70's. Very cool guy and a style all his own. Lot's of fun to work with - a real honest southern boy..
was he naturally gifted or did he work hard to get to that level?
He was soooooooo underrated one of my heros

Check out Leon Russell on piano. They had quite a bond and band there for a long time. RIP Delaney.

The Albert Hall show and three more nearly identical shows from the UK tour.
The hippie pull was too strong. 😂. LOVE Delaney’s music. Bonnie and he had Soul that Shined.
RIP Delaney Bramlett!

one of the greats! rip
She can now fly with her face in the sun, singing her heart out. Onward!

tell it unclebob, from up north
Nice voice. And neat to see him before his beard/hairbag look of a few years later.
Well, lucky you, had the chance to share some time with him, cheers¡¡¡
Yup that's Leon back when he was Claude Russell Bridges. He was the house piano player on Shindig in the first season.

Delaney and my father were close tight friends shindig. Besides hes ELVIS COUSIN
Wonderful
So true.. but then again I am bias, as I work for the Bramlett's

That’s why she often wore sunglasses on stage - to hide the black eyes he gave her.
wow...did you just make that saying up? That really added a lot to the discussion.
I didn't know he started so early in life
I know Toni Basil was an assistant choreographer on Shindig, but does anyone know if that's her at the end of this video, to the left of Delaney (stage-right)?
WOW!!! WHAT A TREASURE!!! IT'S GOTTA BE "THE SHINDOGS" - IS THAT A CLEAN SHAVEN LEON RUSSELL ON THE 88's???? THANX FOR SHARIN'!!!!
Beatles would very shortly change all this.
Did ya hear the Little richard scream at :40?
Interesting.
That's a classless remark.
Leon on piano!
That year the girls would scream for English bands , an Elvis style singer not so much . Some producer prodded the audience to react this way . Still , a cool clip for its rarity .
would love to know all the players' names can anyone help?
Eric, George, Bobby, Jim, Duane, Gregory, Jim, Carl, Leon, Rita, Bonnie, and oodles of others, the list goes on forever, he affected everybody on the Scene, jùs sàyin ¡♥️😎♥️¡
DEAD ???? Shocking terrible news !!
Ididn't know he wrote this song..
He didn't. "You Never Can Tell" is written by Chuck Berry

Hey,do some research on that one, you might be surprised.
Joe Cocker stole his band. I'll never completely forgive him for that.
Do believe Joe’s band was organised by Leon… 🤔😐
@@andrewmair7371 OK, then Leon stole Delaney's band for Joe.

Leon Russell did not steal DB band. Obviously, you don’t know the whole truth.
