Very nice ! I played this long tune real loud on a packed Denver city bus once in the the early eighties, the driver kept turning back and screaming to turn it down, but he couldn't tell who had the radio so I just kept turning around with everyone else to see where it was coming from. I let it roll all the way to the end then shut it off, it was like ten minutes, lol. No-one else complained, just the driver
I love Tommy Bolin..but friend.. according to Almighty God...Tommy is In the worst place imaginable...hell 🔥. I know... but he would tell you to fly..run.. to Jesus!!!!!!!
Bolin was one of the better guitarist not only of his time but of all of rock. He deserves more recognition! For me, the best James Gang album is Miami. No Walsh, all Bolin! Another lefty that went way too soon!
@@NC5B I am 64 and just realizing what a genius Bolin was. Thank you for crediting this guitarist. Can you please reply with the name of this tribute band? There is nothing, sadly in the credits above. Did deep dive into Stratus. WOW!
"Cocaine" is a song written and recorded in 1976 by singer-songwriter J. J. Cale "Post Toastee" is a song written and recorder in 1976 by Tommy Bolin ... at Cherokee recording studio in LA and released by Columbia records. Which one was the first?
JJ Cale’s version of cocaine came out in 76 but sounded nothing like post toastee. Eric Claptons cocaine came out in b he 77 a year later. So Tommy was first.
Thanks for this show and tribute and upload. 45 years I've been listening to Tommy and never will ever get tired of listening to his genius. Clapton yawn, Page clumsy, etc. BUT#1 Tommy, Jimi, Jeff Beck, Dickey Betts, David Gilmour are timeless souls. They just don't play scales and notes.
I tend to agree, but disagree with your take on Clapton. Derek & The Dominos “Live At The Fillmore” is an incredible album. Love live Tommy Bolin though.

Very nice! Thankyou for posting! I had 'Standing in the Rain' running in my head for a week b4 I went on TH-cam, and what do you know? There it was! I think about how young he was---so much talent gone. Thank God he played as much as he did, & left us some gripping music. It's like it takes you by the shoulders, and shakes you, until you HAVE to feel the intensity! I had a chance to see him @ MileHi stadium, it was summer '76. It was awful- he was so wasted, a man brought him to the mike, and he hung onto it just to stand, for a very short set. As a person in recovery, I look back upon those days with gratitude that more of us didn't die. Rest in Peace, Tommy. You gave to the world your best✨🎶💫🏞

@@ColonelSpankysLostBattalion Sorry. I'm almost 70 and saw a lot of concerts back in the day. The years of what happened when can get a little fuzzy. Had to be 76. I remember the place I was living when I saw him. I lived there from 12/74 till 6/78 so it was sometime in that frame.

God bless the Bolin family, and everyone who knew him and keep his music alive.
Love to Sioux City Iowa.

Tommy Bolin was right handed and super gifted. He could play any style and his death could have been avoided if his road crew acted.
Ralph Patlin the left handed guitarist.
That was at a Tommy Bolin benefit gathering.
😔🇺🇸
Now this is a true rock and roll party watching this. I only wish I could have been there when this was done live. RIP Tommy 😭
ABSOLUTELY. Right on. A beer in one hand a lil weed in the other. "Listening " to the Vibe!
The coolest sad he died way to yong

ROCK ON T.B.
Lmao. Hell yeah
You also did the Homeward Strut.....
And you avoided the entire bus being killed when it went off the road because the driver kept turning around. Nice one! lol indeed.
Ah the ol 15 or 16 route colfax never disappointa 🤣

Great musicians live on in the music they left behind.

Tommy wasn’t a lefty. This is a tribute event.
The left-handed guitarist is the awesome Ralph Patlan

What year was this done it's a good version all musician's vocals etc?
@@optimystic1282 I hate it to me is just riff show off work, it has no soul, it's all one layer, it's not like blending and Harmonizing sound
Berge & Bolin on drums. They still play this one together all these years later.
And Stanley on Bass.
Loved it when he was in Deep Purple!?! Moxy also!?!!

They are different songs, same chords. Toatally differnnt vibes, totally differnet arrangements
The singer doesn’t fit the style of Tommy on this clip.
@@adamcraneguilford6236
I'm almost positive the chords are different.

Услышав "come test the band", влюбился в Томми!!!... Очень жаль, что рано ушел...
Love this, thanks for posting! It's obviously not Tommy Bolin, but who is?! This band did a great cover,IMO!

R.I.P. Great Tommy!
Could this be considered a anti drug song? Bolin's playing was so fluid and effortless, so great,

Is there more from this concert?
Oh yes... Much more.
Oh wow, this is a lovely rendition! Thanks for uploading... and the band for performing it like this, truly wonderful!
the lefty is great
Kickass!
Tommy was taken from us!!!!!
The drummer is brother of Bolin
Amazing...no surprise; band is the real deal.
A true original, not just a million notes a second sometimes less is more just my opinion mind
You did this song well! TY
So cool to see a band play Bolin & at the Bluebird!
🎸🇺🇸🙏🏽
Keep T. B. 's music coming 🎸🎵
Great version Ralph kills it
Nobody could do it justice like Tommy they should only play his version I'm sorry to said that
Awesome. Tommy was amazing.
My favorite aong
So much to love about this!
This version stands with the original! What's the name of this band?
a Tommy Bolin benefit gathering.
Beautiful
Read the book Touched by Magic-great book about his life
WTH? This isn't Bolin. The guitarist is left handed for crying out loud. If it isn't Tommy don't say it is.
Duh.
@@wldchld7 yeah, I get it. But why is this channel listing it as him when it ain't ?
@@craigalden54 Sorry, but I don't see where it says that this is actually Tommy.

@@wldchld7 thank you!
This is killer version like original but live!

Johnny Bolin and Bobby Berge were the drummers, Stanley Sheldon was on bass. Bobby and Stanley played with Tommy at various points.
@@NC5B Thank you. Not crediting this band from the get-go is VERY irritating.
what's the name of this band?
No name perse. "The Tommy Bolin Tribute Band"
👌🤘🤘👊👊
Awesome! Thank you!
I the streams...thanks..
yep, JJ Cale riff but it's ok this is really good and quite different, still rocking out
what came first? both released in Sept 76 - regardless this is obviously the more sophisticated arrangement ; )
Also they didn't do the 3rd segment where it goes into a reggae feel w sax Oh well but yeah TBs had three style/segments in one song
Use to like them the best
I see a lot of Bolin in John Sykes
John Sykes isn't in the video....
Who’s on vocals ?
Gary Wilson. I think he knocked it out of the park!
I've never heard someone sound this close
Humm . live ? Brb
Saw Bolin live in 77. Fan fucking tastic
Except he died in 1976.
Saw Tommy at Ford Auditorium in Detroit. Little fuzzy on the year. It was a great concert.
