I got married in1975, 18, fooled around and fell in love and got divorced in 1976. 19. Lol lol!!! It wasn’t funny then, but this song got me through a hard time cuz it was my truth! I’m 64 now and married 37 years. I stopped fooling around!! I love you Elvin bishop!! Saw you many times in Fresno California!! Love of my life back then! God bless you!! 💕💕💕💕💕
I Loved this whole entirety of this song ...Instrumentals, Sound, Vocals, Lyrics......This will 'Forever' stay imprinted in the minds and hearts of all. We 'Lived' It!!! Thank You, Guys!!! ✍️🎶😘🎸💯🙏🌹♥️
It don’t get more “real deal” than Bish The life experience of this R&R HOF’er is unbelievable He’s done it all and is a true ambassador of the blues I try to see him every chance I get and never leave without a smile on my face ❤❤🎸🎸
Great to see Elvin Bishop still out there playing and sounding great. I met him many years ago, I was just starting out and looking for a gig, he was very kind to me and very helpful. He's a wonderful guitar player and a wonderful human being. Thanks for posting this!
Been around the perimeter of Elvin's life for many years with mutual friends and I'll tell you the man has payed his dues to play them blues. Deeply respect this man.
Still got that old Gibson after all these years and not changed , and he’s still into it as the original , fantastic and plays just as good but I can’t get over that Gibson well done
I always wanted a Gibson 335. I just...couldn't afford one. I managed to get an American Tele and then a Strat but, they are a lot cheaper then a 335! Ahhhh, maybe one day.. Elvin played a Gibson ES-345 and named it "Red Dog" he still plays that guitar today!!! www.guitarworld.com/features/interview-elvin-bishop-and-his-red-dog-gibson-es-345-together-almost-50
I think the rumor is that Elvin had a tele, and another player had the 335 they traded for a night and Elvin never gave it back.....Don't know if it's true, but makes for a great story.
Man, that old axe has got some miles on her, but she still delivers just like the old man. You’ll also see him sportin’ an Epi Casino with a Vibrola trem. All us old guitar slangers still think we can hang, at least until we play the video back. Elvin’s got the pedigree, and the legit chops to pull it off. He’s been doin it from the beginning of electric blues and blues rock, and I’ve been diggin’ his licks from the git-go! Rock on, Elvin!
I seen Elvin Bishop in '76 at The Ivanhoe in Chicago. That song was all over the radio then, AM and FM. His rig was the Gibson ES335 and a Silverface Fender Champ amp! That was it! The amp was miked into the PA system. Mickey and Elvin sounded just like the recording. Glad he's still got it, good to see it! Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown still tours and sounds great,too.
I've just been bingeing on Elvin's back catalog lately. Raisin' Hell was the album that made a fan out of me back in the late 70's. Got to see that band play in their heyday and they just blew the doors off. Elvin knew how to throw down in concert like few others could. So nice to seem him still jamming but it's bittersweet. God Bless Mr. Bishop.
@@patrickfridley4172 I was stationed right below Kadena, at Camp Foster. We use to eat chow at Kadena a few times a week. Air Force chow was a lot better than Marine Corps chow. I was on Okinawa Aug74-Sep75. Semper Fi greetings from Charleston, WEST Virginia.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 was stationed at Kadena but worked at Torii Station. Got there in Sept 75, left Jan 77. Yes, chow was better in the Air Force! Greetings from Sarasota, Florida!
@@usmc-veteran73-77 I was AF Security Service. Left oki and spent rest of two tours at NSA. Army guys and gals were cool. Took the bus from Kadena to Torii until saved up enough to bring my wife of one year over. We lived on the economy down the hill from Torii. Quite an experience for two young twenty somethings! Orion beer and dried squid, yummy! LOL
This is a song that went under the radar for me back in the day. Only recently it surfaced and I've realised how good the song is. Try and see the group in the day with Mickey Thomas. Fantastic voice. Rod Stewart does a good version of it and his guitarists is out of this world.
Probably one of my fav top five songs. I never ever bought the song or recording, just aways waited patiently for the next time it played on the radio. All I knew was the voice of Mickey Thomas. Later on I learned the source of the guitar lick that I loved almost as much as the vocal in the song. I saw Mickey sing the song at a small venue in 95......he killed it.
Yes. I also saw him at Fillmore and winterland,, seemed like he was always around with The New Riders of the Purple Sage...commander cody ,, I also saw Bloomfield play Winterland. He played when the stage was on the side of the rink. Way before this song. That a long time ago. Good to read your post
Elvin You sound great. Period. ! I’m 55, I remember when they played the hell out of this on the radio here in Chicago. 89 WLS, WMET, WDHF. the Loop. You look great; sound great. Doing what you love.
I and my band opened up for Elvin and Lydia Pense/Coldblood back in 199x. They gave us the broom closet as a dressing room. We saw the promotor taking deli trays back to Elvin's dressing room and asked if we got anything. They came back with a case of warm drinking water. We didn't care, we were having the time of our lives. I miss those days...
Gran paw Elvin can sure still play !!! Wonder what he sounded like when he was young ? Man ! He ain’t missed a lick !!! We all got old, but can sure STILL kick butt !!!
Elvin looks so comfortable with OI' Red Dog, like slidin' into an old pair of slippers. That show must have been magic, super small venue and laid back as all get out.
One of my favorite songs from 1976. The year my first son was born!!! Great vocals from his backup singer _Mickey Thomas_ , who went on to be the lead singer for _Jefferson Starship_ , which changed to just " _Starship_ " Just a note, 📓 The guy singing lead in this video is not Mickey Thomas. 🤔
@@tlansing18 My only observation is that Micky Thomas owns the lead vocal and any other cover will not match the original recording. Most folks don't even know that it was MT ...they only know him as the lead vocalist for the original Jefferson Starship. It would be like Billy Joel trying to cover Ray Charles...lol.
@@johnmaer This is a performance at a community center by the guy who wrote and recorded the song. You can call it a "cover", but 43 years later, they were hardly trying to "match the original". And "most folks" mistakenly think most folks do not know Mickey Thomas sang the original. You are deluded to think you are one of the special few who know Mickey Thomas' career. Again..."Idiot".
When heard " _Fooled Around and Fell in Love_ " I thought 'Elvin Bishop" sang lead and played lead. Until I seen a video or something, where it wasn't him singing but one of his back up singers. Great song, well played and sung... Love Elvin's Gibson ES-345 he named _"Red Dog"_
Wily Jordon one of best friends in the world. He nails this song with his magical voice. He's got a range like Aretha and loves doing this song that was top forty when he was a young teenager.
I think Elvin Bishop opened up for the Rolling Stones for the Start Me Up tour 1981 at Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego California. I took the Amtrak from San Jose to get there and we were in the bubble car and I had my guitar and we were singing stones and Beatles songs smoking pot,And the other passengers were buying me beers cause I had my acoustic guitar. It was a singalong stoner ride on Amtrak! Can’t do that anymore :-) George Thorogood what is the other opening act.
Saw the US Tour opening shows at JFK Stadium in Philly and Thorogood was the opener, we somehow hoisted a case of beer up in a cooler from the outside with a rope
Saw him open for Dave Mason when I was a kid at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The Raising Hell tour. Late 1970s. Poor Dave Mason never had a chance after Elvin was through with the crowd.

Gotta admire a guy who plays the exact same guitar his entire career. If that guitar could tell stories.
Still love you Elvin Bishop.. A national treasure some don't even know about. That's a shame.
Agree!
This song never dies out After all these years
One of the greatest songs ever written! Thank you!
Half the people in the crowd don’t even know they’re watching a legend
The percussionist nailed the vocals to a hard song to sing. Bravo! 👏
Didn't miss a beat!!

He’s out there having fun….sounding great.. it brought a smile to my face when he started shredding it on the ax
I swear it makes my day when I stumble across stuff like this! Elvin still has that touch man! It’s in his blood for sure. Great great video!! 😎
I grew up to Elvin's tasty guitar playing, his touch & tone was always his trademark along with his great personality
no he really doesn't
I Loved this whole entirety of this song ...Instrumentals, Sound, Vocals, Lyrics......This will 'Forever' stay imprinted in the minds and hearts of all. We 'Lived' It!!! Thank You, Guys!!! ✍️🎶😘🎸💯🙏🌹♥️
The guy singing is no Mickey Thomas, but he certainly gives it his best. It's still one of my all-time favorite songs!

Crushed it! Elvin was 77 years old here! Drummer/singer killed it! Doesn't need to be Mickey, he did it more than justice! Bravo!!!!
Amazing! I am as old as Elvin and only wish I have 1/1000000 of his talent. Thank you for this wonderfully inspiring post. Rock on forever.

Folks who wear overalls are on another level.
Great great Song. One of my favorites from way back when.
Great job guys!
One of the greatest songs ever written with one of the most memorable guitar solos in music history..
So great! Always a pleasure to hear that song and Elvin Bishop is still got it. Awesome!

This is too pure talent! Amazing to see an person at his age still got a very quick fingers for the guitar
Been an Evin Bishop fan since the Paul Butterfield days and yes thats the same Gibson he used!
If you like him a lot check out Jimi Hendrix Live at the Cafe Au Go Go 68. He played with him there. It's a 49 minute jam session.
@Troy Erkenbeck Lol I don't know it all but I've been listing to this music for quite along time Thanks
...I was there Elvin and so much Love and Gratitude from this old Head

1976 on our honeymoon at Disneyland and there was Elvin Bishop live doing this song!
Till this day nobody can do that solo like he does.👍😊

Great time to be a 20 yr old United States Marine back in 1975. I was on Okinawa really missing my cute girlfriend back home.
Elvin I could listen to you play forever thanks
Saw Elvin play 45 years ago at Winterland Auditorium in San Fransisco, California. The place was packed. Still got it!
Yes. I also saw him at Fillmore and winterland,, seemed like he was always around with The New Riders of the Purple Sage...commander cody ,, I also saw Bloomfield play Winterland.

So many good memories ..god bless you MR ELVIN 🙏🏼

Oooooooo still gives me GOOSEBUMPS 😎✌
Much admiration 🤗
Thank You!
Elvin looks so comfortable with OI' Red Dog, like slidin' into an old pair of slippers. That show must have been magic, super small venue and laid back as all get out.
Mickey will always pie remembered for his singing o this classic but Elvin still does it as always absolutely great. Love it.
I saw him at Disney land in early 1970 s wow he still plays great.
On my grad night we were locked into Serra Bowl in Daly City. The Elvin Bishop Band played in the lounge area. I forgot the bowling. Great memory.
Timeless classic!
Crabshaw!!! Still sounding great at age 78! So glad he’s still around...guess trading cocaine for rogain did the trick!!!
Can't believe how time flew by.. He's much older now *but* , never lost his chops! 🎸
God I love this song!!!
Well that answers that question,HELL YES ELVIN CAN STILL PLAY!!
I love this tune.

Reminds me of younger days, love it!
Wow awesome !! Very cool low key setting
Thank you all for your help in Brownsville Texas.
Awesome! Still rockin.
nice sound! those hands man!
Elvin immortalized in Hank Williams Jr. "The South's Gonna Do It Again".
Believe that was Charlie Daniels Band.
@@markmaharrey8494 ok, me bad
Lol yep that was Charlie that saw him sitting on that bale of hay
I remember the girl I was with when this song came out..Brings back memories
Almost had forgotten this lovely song !
Legendary guitarist
"Elvin Bishop sitting on a bale of hay, he ain't good looking but he sure can play!" Definitely!
Nothing like watching the man who wrote it to see how many people do it wrong.
Elvin..ur just as beautiful as George...much love to u 💋💋💋💋💕💕💕
What a great voice
Excellent Great band
A freind of mine called the other day... said he had a album called "struttin my stuff." Wanted to know if I wanted it. I said " well uh HELL YEA.
Been listening to Elvin since the days with TPBBB. "Sweet Potato" is my favorite.
Ahh yes Sweet Potato, I wonder if he ever did that live
Great doesn't begin to describe Elvin and his group
That lead is got so much swagger to it. Always has and always will
He’s still feelin it
Ya know, Elvin Bishop has not changed on bit in the last 45 + years. I think he’s still wearing the same overalls and flannel shirt since 1975.
When heard " _Fooled Around and Fell in Love_ " I thought 'Elvin Bishop" sang lead and played lead. Until I seen a video or something, where it wasn't
him singing but one of his back up singers. Great song, well played and sung... Love Elvin's Gibson ES-345 he named _"Red Dog"_
Great sound!
I heard he is still farmin'... He ain't good lookin' but he sure can play...
Never was the best lookin guy in the first place..but his playing makes up 4 it.?
