I remember John Lee Hooker putting Bonnie Raitt’s fingers on frets as he was showing here riffs at the University of Buffalo Folk Festival in 1968. I may be old but I heard the best bands.
Bonnie Raitt had so much confidence as a young woman in the 70's, when it was hard as fk for a girl to think she was worth anything at all--especially in the music business which was sexist as all hell in those days. I have no idea how she did it. This is a fantastic song, by the way.
One of my brothers favorite songs.. I held his hand as took his last breath in August 2014. He was wasted and just wanted to find his way back home... Pancreatic cancer...RIP Cory
Classic folks doing a classic. I met Bonnie in an elevator at the Charles Hotel in Boston in 1985 while working on TV show Spensor For Hire. We were both on our way to the same place, the bar. We sat together for an hour, drinking it up and sharing tales. Car stunts and music. She is an enigma to say the least. Unforgettable.
I remember that night at the Charles Hotel, Regatta Bar. I was the Bartender. Oh, my god what a show. I was blown away when she approached the bar and ordered a drink. I was so numb at her presence. Blessed to be there. And thankful to this day, I had that very brief opportunity to touch greatness.
She really nailed that haunting, empty, gutted-out feeling from the Blind Faith original. When it comes to singin' and playin' the Blues, you could go a long ways and not find anyone better to do it than Bonnie Raitt.
joe', That "haunting, empty, gutted out feeling" perfectly describes the feeling of the 60's after Woodstock. The 60's were over, and everyone was exhausted.
I love Bonnie's interpretation of this. Let's also give a little recognition to Steve Winwood, who wrote this when he was 21 or something ridiculously precocious.
Now I get it , didn't realize he was that young when he wrote this , but , hell weren't they all, I was 13 in 79 and took it to heart , 55 now ,still grips my soul, as it was of course, I have aged gracefully
@@halfon005 I referred to the writing, and it seems it comes down to his birthdate, and exactly when he initiated the writing. my best memories from the time of it's release in the States, was it was being reported he was 16. do some deep digging if you wish
When Lowell died in 1979, Bonnie was quoted in Rolling Stone magazine that she missed Lowell more than she missed being 8 years old. Still brings a tear to the eye. Miss you Lowell! Love you Bonnie!
I remember that time well. She spoke for many of us who loved Lowell and Little Feat and were overjoyed that Lowell had released his first solo LP- and then we mourned our great loss of the one and only, never to be replaced Lowell George. I think it's only the true greats like Bonnie who can speak about these legends and do them justice by giving us their music again by playing it, sometimes even better, just for the absolute enjoyment of it. Thank you, Bonnie. Your voice always soothes my soul.
Old memories in music.... I was 17, a senior in high school in '72, when I first heard this album, and I decided right then and there I was going to be a musician. Then I went to college for a while and majored in the 3 W's: whiskey, women and weed. Mostly I screwed up. I guess at that point I didn't have the calling, but oh dear lord, I wish I had stuck to that dream. In the meantime, I've done good things and bad things, almost lost my soul and found it, forgot how to live and love, then rediscovered how to love life itself. Made a bunch of money and spent it all. Lived quite a life full of adventure. It's been quite a ride. Funny how literally 50 years later, I'm back to that same place in time and space as that 17 y/o kid listening to this song. I finally found my way back home. Music is magic. The best on earth. Funny how literally 50 years later, I'm back to that same place in time and space as that 17 y/o kid listening to this song. Music is magic, the best we have on this ole earth.
She has been a favorite singer of mine for five decades. Saw her 20+ years ago at Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. Wonderful. I bought her latest recording (now, what, 3 years old? and was saddened to hear the strain and weakness in her voice. Age, lifestyle? don't know why but it was diminished. I much prefer her earlier work, before she was "discovered" by the masses and went so commercial in the compositions and losing a rawness that informed her bluesiness. (although "I Can't Make You Love Me" is a WoW! of a song). Am glad for her success but she's not the same singer. A fave singer/songwriter who HAS remained strong into her 70's is Joan Armitrading.
I first heard her perform about four doors down Big Basin Way from my house in Boulder Creek, CA at a bar/restaurant named Scopazzi's. The dance floor in the bar barely held more people than were in her band. Beautiful music...beautiful night.
I remember when there was a mural on the wall at The Earl Of Old Town bar in Chicago of Bonnie Raitt. Used to go there when I was a young man and play when they had open stage night.
I"ve played this song for maybe 40 years to close acoustic solo gigs, 'cause, well, finding your way home is not guaranteed. But this.....I am not worthy. What a gift, finding buried treasures like this one with Bonnie, and Lowell George too. Gulp.
I was hitchhiking in the 70s and got dropped off at a park near Hartford, CT. When I got out of the car I was greeted by some great music coming from a free concert in the park:.....it was BB King and Bonnie Rait playing.
She's just the best- she doesn't just sings a song, she really interprets it- so you feel what the songwriter meant to have you feel- doubly good when SHE's the songwriter...Congrats on her Grammy for And Just Like That, another song that hits you right in the gut.....
That might be a live take, but that as recorded multitrack and mixed on a console. Plenty of EQ and compression. It is very simple though, which is totally unlike what they do today. Even with live recordings that are like this.
My Mom was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's last week. Finding comfort in this song (in Blind Faith's version, too), and in my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Jer. 13:18
My Mom cannot find her way home anymore. The song brings me comfort. My 'Blind Faith', which I am not insecure in, brings me comfort. Trolls are cute but mean.
Kindred, no doubt! Watch her absolutely SHRED LoveMe Like A Man… she completely oozes from the depths of her soul and out her fingertips up and down the frets!! I know I watched that live video and played along with her close to 10,000 times… I simply back her up and help fill space lol She’ll always be my guitar goddess guru & pretend band mate lol 🎼🎤❤️🔥🎶
Why am I just now hearing this for the first time??? It's the most hauntingly beautiful version of an amazing song. I've been a fan of Bonnie, Lowell and John since the 70s but never knew they played together.
“I can’t find my way home” expresses what must be a universal human feeling. We are but wayfaring strangers in this world. Even if you stay in one place, home changes until you can’t recognize it anymore. You’ve just got to keep singing.
Got ya brother. But sometimes it's good getting lost. When I was fighting with the wife I'd stomp out, get on the motorcycle and head out and just ride. "Got to get your mind right". Couple of hours till I didn't know where I was, stop and see the stars. Cheated though, used the GPS to get back home.
Bonnie's voice is ethereal and her timing is impeccable. Have had the privilege of seeing her perform live several times, but her recordings are a constant on my home play list.
Hey Marty, Smiley here just doing my time . My 1st posting in a long time but had to reply since this was the latest so far. Can you believe there are people that have no idea how Bonnie can reach your soul. We are fortunate to have lived this as our sound track. Peace ✌✌✌
I have always adored her voice her guitar riffs and slide are unmatched ! I was lucky enough to meet her and can honestly say she is beautiful inside and out ❣️
Can’t Find My Way Home is one of the best tunes….it’s one that takes me back to my twenties. The time in my life when I was taught just how cold and hard this world can be.
2:06 “all those people out in radio land” 2:12 “fasten your seatbelts!” 2:15 - a bit of tuning 2:34 - first run at it 2:44 “wait, had to do it right” 2:48- straight to the music
Can't claim to have seen them all, but a lot of them. Got a lot of T-shirts from some of those shows, and while some of them are pretty faded, and they don't fit anymore, I think I'm gonna make a quilt of them.
Just listened to this today. I've been in love with Bonnie's voice since the early 70's and Blind Faith shortly thereafter. This is true soul of the time and yet timeless
Just saw this for the first time. Wow, what a fine interpretation of a classic tune! Four outstanding musicians doing a song that is still meaningful today, fifty years later! Thank you all!
Lots of accolades for various reasons. A few very important items to note. First hat off to this channel for the absolutely perfect upload. This is a bootleg of a jam. The technology of that day is not even close to almost 60 years later. And yet this recording is crystal clear. The skill level of the musicians is amazing. Thanks for giving this the exposure it deserves. This National Archives material.
i've always been insecure about my looks; but i look a lot like Lowell George, and if Bonnie Raitt thinks Llowel is cute, that's all i need to live a happy life
I'm just sitting here with my eyes shut January 1, 2020 remembering how tremendous all of this music was and how it still is the best. Very nice TH-cam compilation tonigt
@@ieatlightning4236 July11, 2020 the day after I found I have exposed to COVID and now have to wait 2 days for test and 7-10 days more for results Been staying at home since March and a "home health" nurse who came to MY house exposed me You just can't make this $hit up. "I'm near the end and I don't have the time."
A great musical era. Lowell died way too young. Great slide player, great soulful singer and a great song writer. The early Feat albums were jewels. How could one band have so many super-talented people? I guess there were others but the Feat were something else.
Of course my friend. It was and is sublime. Can't make time stand still but I have the records and the experience of being there when it unfolded. For us, that is it. A man can ask no more really, than witness greatness.
This tunes and almost whispering singing (Intelligent music and musicians), and thanks to Steve for writing this. Thanks for posting this message Postman/woman. I have applauded in the end.
The comments that came from posting this made me feel really good. I thank you all. I am an old soul with an old heart. I have loved Bonnie from a long time ago and sang her songs whenever there was a band that would play them. She truly is an icon. An old soul.
Certainly, I sense a quality in her voice and intonations that are of the most honest sorrow and I don't know enough about her to intuit a cause. It may just be some inborn mystery that comes with her to reveal itself with such a relatable sound and style, 'old soul' may say it well enough.
A friend of mine introduced her music to me back in 75. She was at her best then as can be heard on this recording. It is a real shame that she didn't make it big until she was half of what she was at her peak. She is amazing
This generation of white kids learned their craft at the feet of the century's greatest blues men whom they actively sought out, championed and dearly loved. The proof is in the pudding. Sanctified music straight from the heart to make you shiver and shake.
Saw Little Feat in Dallas in early 79, went to the room with the band and smoke a doobie with Lowell and the band. Asked them where'd you get the name for the band and Paul said, pointing to Lowell's shoes, "Well, look at them little fuckin feet". You don't forget a night like that.
Give me a break Daryl. I posted this months ago. I am not interested in making this a project. It was merely a critique. I don't have time for trolling. Go persecute someone else.
😮 Almost too gorgeous a rendition of an authentic masterpiece: vocals, players, arrangement , mood. What a treat to close one’s eyes and just feel it go.
I love BONNIE RAITT MY SISTER TURNED ME ONTO HER MISIC WHEN I WAS 15 AND IM FLYING ON 55 NOW AND STILL LOVE HER MUSIC HER SONGS TELL SO MANY LIFE STORIES THAT I HAVE MADE MY WAY THRU I LOST MY SISTER TO CANCER BUT WE NEVER LOST BONNIE AND I PLAY HER SONGS. AND SING THE WORDS TO MY SISTER WHO FOUND HER WAY HOME
beautifully said and spoken .. my deepest condolences for your loss yep Bonnie is great without a doubt.. it just works out for her so well to cover this Blind Faith classic best wishes to you
I saw Miss Bonnie at the New Orleans Jazz Fest back in the early 1980's. With all the schlock in this world, it's not often one sees the real deal; when you do, it leaves an impression.
Shows how the 70s were a much more mellow and spontaneous time, in many respects. Thinking about what song to play at the spot and taking as much time for tuning as needed, without any complaining from the audience.
True enough; before clip on tuners it was all done by ear. Also, the primitive gear (no boards full of stomp boxes and rack mounted effects processors) didn't cover up mistakes, which left it raw, and imbued the music with a lot more human touch/feeling... at least to my sensibilities. To be honest though, I have to admit I don't miss all that E,.A. G. D. B. E. noodling between songs.
I was already a fan of hers at this point. She was probably 20 then. And this was maybe three years after Stevie did this with blind faith. She knocked me flat then and still does. This was a year I discovered her, Emmylou, John Prine, David Bromberg, John Hammond and Townes van zandt
Some voices simply have the way of telling the truth more beautifully than others. Such a voice is Bonnie. How wonderfully lucky we are to be the ears to hear her tell it.
One of the things (besides all of the great classic rock artists)that I miss most about the 70s, are the broadcasts of live concert music ,both in the studio and from the concert halls. Today's music scene just doesn't hold a candle to it.
We can, ALL, get lost, easily...."the slippery slope" is still the best description I've heard. So, here's to "TRACTION" for us all. Noone is immune, so, be kind and help a Brother/Sister up, be a shoulder for them to lean on, and, listen to them thru your heart, and forgive them if they falter. But, for God's grace, there go I.
Steve Winwood would love this as we do. Not only is she have a great voice but that lady can flat out play a guitar especially slide. Love this, thanks for sharing
At this juncture in my life, nothing feels like home. My parents are gone. My siblings are scattered. My kids are scattered. My grandsons are scattered.... "Well, I'm near the end, and I just ain't got the time. I'm wasted, and I can't find my way home." I'm not high. I'm just wasted and spent. This new century has to take on a reality of its own. This reality isn't what we knew as children born in the 1950's.
At least you get to live in Wyoming and not in some skanky city. I checked out to north Idaho, just me and my cats, it's okay but sometimes the music stabs you in the heart for the old days. Just listened to Robert Plant Ship of Fools, can't get over it.....
I've loved the Blind Faith version for all these year and never knew this wonderful version was out there! Started looking for Angel from Montgomery and wound up here. Made my day and then some!

I saw John Lee Hooker open for Bonnie at Key West High School. Thinking it was 1974. He taught her well.
Same....Keep Enjoying brother ~
@@williamreilly5469that’s so badass!
Awesome story
I'm 72. YES! We Did! I saw Zappa & Hendrix in 1968.
Bonnie Raitt had so much confidence as a young woman in the 70's, when it was hard as fk for a girl to think she was worth anything at all--especially in the music business which was sexist as all hell in those days. I have no idea how she did it. This is a fantastic song, by the way.
Bonnie was from a professional music family. Her Dad, John Raitt, you may remember from many Broadway musicals like Carousel.
@@carolclayton606 He was red-baited during the era of the McCarthy hearings...so she had to deal with that while growing up. But she has soul...
She did it because she was and is so amazingly talented. Everyone respects a natural born singer.
So ... Lowell George sits in with Bonnie Raitt & does a Stevie Windwood song. Brilliant!
They were born in the same part of the world- (Burbank/Hollywood).
❤️
This was my daddy’s favorite song. The original. I’ve never heard this version but I know he’d have loved it. I miss you,Daddy 💞
Condolences to you. xx
I'm sure your Daddy was, super cool-take care
❤
Why do all the voices and recodrings from 50 years ago sound so much better than the trash they make us listen to today?
Word
The overall signal path and the equipment involved was far more simple. As a result, it captured more.
Because they WERE better! Wow, Bonnie before the gravel sounds like an angel.
who making you listen to trash? the www brings it all to you...seek it out and stop whining.
They are actually singing, playing. No auto tune. Bonnie had one of the most beautiful, pure, voices then Now, still beautiful but more seasoned ❤
One of my brothers favorite songs.. I held his hand as took his last breath in August 2014. He was wasted and just wanted to find his way back home... Pancreatic cancer...RIP Cory

Everybody thinks their era was golden but in the case of the 70’s it was double platinum.

I hope you enjoyed it, you double dipped platinum horrible people.
@@Allen-xu2wv That's exactly what a boomer would say. You should go directly to hell.

This is still hauntingly beautiful 51 years later.

Little Feat had such a sound. Couldn't believe they weren't Cajun. The sound was SOOOOOO Louisiana. His voice was irreplaceable.
I heard that story, too, but I heard it was '5yrs old'. Bonnie saying '8 yrs old' makes more sense.
What a quote. Wow.

there are many artists out there that never got the RECONITION THAT THEY TRULULY DESERVEDAN I WOULD PUT JTHE LATE JJ CALE AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST.
.... they were my favorite, I cried when Lowell died
How is Little Feat not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
I walked into a record shop in Newcastle upon tyne and heard this music I asked who are they. It was Little Feet
The goose bumps come a creepin the second Bonnie starts singing. Shes a true performer of talent.

At nearly 60 years old I have never heard that before. Truly awesome. It's like buried treasure.
Listen to Clapton's version then Ramblin on my mind on EC was here!
I'm 68, and had seen Bonnie Raitt, John Hammond, and Little Feat all separately. This is sheer gold!
Listen to the original recording by "Blind Faith"!! 💖
Yep. My thoughts exactly.

I've liked Bonnie Raitt for years, but this is just next level. Phenomenal.
And that was her early years.
Sooo Beautiful, I cried listening to it, thanks for sharing.
That could well be my favorite rendition of this song. She absolutely kills it. Turn it up!
The Clapton and Stevie winwood live version is the best - but this is great too
A beautiful rendition of a powerful song! Raitt has that rare texture to her voice that wrings out the emotion in any tune
Best live shows were put on by Lowell George and Little Feat. I still miss him to this day. One of the best guitarists and singers.
Why am I just now hearing this for the first time??? It's the most hauntingly beautiful version of an amazing song. I've been a fan of Bonnie, Lowell and John since the 70s but never knew they played together.
It was a one off...

You're not alone. I only wish there was a video to accompany it.

Got ya brother. But sometimes it's good getting lost. When I was fighting with the wife I'd stomp out, get on the motorcycle and head out and just ride. "Got to get your mind right". Couple of hours till I didn't know where I was, stop and see the stars.
Cheated though, used the GPS to get back home.
@@edcarr9819 Hardly....and what does that have to do with this great version of this great song? Get a life.
Bonnie's voice is ethereal and her timing is impeccable. Have had the privilege of seeing her perform live several times, but her recordings are a constant on my home play list.
Me too! She is above Joni Mitchell to me and that is the highest compliment I can give!
4/20 in quarintine and finding Gems like this on the utube. Great song
Hey Marty, Smiley here just doing my time . My 1st posting in a long time but had to reply since this was the latest so far. Can you believe there are people that have no idea how Bonnie can reach your soul. We are fortunate to have lived this as our sound track. Peace ✌✌✌
Same here, Just snooping around looking for Lowell George clips. I love Bonnie, I think her voice is awesome.
It is NOT a quarantine. Those are for sick people. It IS a partial lockdown mandated by our rulers. #WalkAway
@@thublit very true
Thank you for this lil nugget on a random Friday night Bonnie!
OH WOW THE GREATEST OF CANT FIND MY WAY HOME, BEEN LOOKING FOR HOME SINCE MY HUSBAND WAS KILLED AT WORK IN 2005
My prayers for you
I'm a Bonnie Raitt fan, but she is really incredible on this.
She is a pioneer!
Bonnie inspired a musical industry. You hooked to such an inspirings.
She has played to Eric Clapton and in solid musical directions. I love all these times of artists in feeding from each other. So damn beautiful.
I have always adored her voice her guitar riffs and slide are unmatched ! I was lucky enough to meet her and can honestly say she is beautiful inside and out ❣️
When she started singing, I got chills. WOW
Can’t Find My Way Home is one of the best tunes….it’s one that takes me back to my twenties. The time in my life when I was taught just how cold and hard this world can be.
October 1972 I had just left Ohio to attend college in Texas... I’m 66 years old and this song never runs out... awesome... LG and BR... great set!
2:06 “all those people out in radio land”
2:12 “fasten your seatbelts!”
2:15 - a bit of tuning
2:34 - first run at it
2:44 “wait, had to do it right”
2:48- straight to the music
Got a tee shirt for my birthday: "I Might Be Old, But I Got To See All The Great Bands" How true!!!!!
most awesome eh??
Truly epic, I want one.
OMG... my sister got me that shirt for Christmas. I have pretty much said stuff like that.
Beth Ann DeWeese it's : "cool bands."
Can't claim to have seen them all, but a lot of them. Got a lot of T-shirts from some of those shows, and while some of them are pretty faded, and they don't fit anymore, I think I'm gonna make a quilt of them.
"Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time." Turned seventy last spring and now I know what that means
+Will in New Haven You brought me great joy with that comment. Live long and well my friend!!
+sail49525 I still haven't found my way home...
+sail49525 But, you're still on the road!
+Will in New Haven God bless, Will...be well...
+Will in New Havengreat taste in great music will god bless just outside newhaven .
2 more gifts from The LORD to our blessed BOOMER generation. Lowell and gifted slide, Bonnie with a voice that reaches the soul. STUNNING!
'JESUS said "unless a man is BORN AGAIN he cannot see the kingdom of God" ' (John 3.3, 33-34)-- DO THIS NOW!!!!! for eternity in God's kingdom!!!
Stlll today I enjoy playing this beautiful song with my old Friends.
Everitime we fall in a big deep feeling.
Just listened to this today. I've been in love with Bonnie's voice since the early 70's and Blind Faith shortly thereafter. This is true soul of the time and yet timeless
If you start to cry when she starts to sing, and keep on crying all the way thru... it's alright, it just means you're human.
Just saw this for the first time. Wow, what a fine interpretation of a classic tune! Four outstanding musicians doing a song that is still meaningful today, fifty years later! Thank you all!
Cheers mate... from London to South Texas.
For you fellow oldsters feeling lost: home is where spirit lives. Bodies age, faces change and places fade, but you are always you.
that voice is one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever heard...
A million thank yous to whom ever took their time to share this historic radio broadcast.
B R A V O...!
Lots of accolades for various reasons. A few very important items to note. First hat off to this channel for the absolutely perfect upload. This is a bootleg of a jam. The technology of that day is not even close to almost 60 years later. And yet this recording is crystal clear. The skill level of the musicians is amazing. Thanks for giving this the exposure it deserves. This National Archives material.
OOOOHHHHH YYYEEESSSSS!!!!!!!
I was at Walter Reed, working ...
Amen to that
What he said. Sweet Baby
Jesus,!
Was lucky enough grow up in era
i've always been insecure about my looks; but i look a lot like Lowell George, and if Bonnie Raitt thinks Llowel is cute, that's all i need to live a happy life
I'm just sitting here with my eyes shut January 1, 2020 remembering how tremendous all of this music was and how it still is the best. Very nice TH-cam compilation tonigt
not a bad way to spend the first day of the year!
Agreed. Like WHAT THE F%$#@ HAPPENED TO POP MUSIC...IT'S ALL SH%$T NOW!!!!
Just loving all these wonderful memories. Memories, memories, memories. I feel like I can't find my way home .. . and I'm 65 years old. Oops.
june 7 2020
What a year...
@@ieatlightning4236 July11, 2020 the day after I found I have exposed to COVID and now have to wait 2 days for test and 7-10 days more for results Been staying at home since March and a "home health" nurse who came to MY house exposed me You just can't make this $hit up. "I'm near the end and I don't have the time."
A great musical era. Lowell died way too young. Great slide player, great soulful singer and a great song writer. The early Feat albums were jewels. How could one band have so many super-talented people? I guess there were others but the Feat were something else.
Such a mix of styles in Little Feat. They were original.
Of course my friend. It was and is sublime. Can't make time stand still but I have the records and the experience of being there when it unfolded. For us, that is it. A man can ask no more really, than witness greatness.
ALL TRUTH, clafong9 Feat are my fave.... and I am only 38. my generational faves are surely pearl jam and dave Matthews band, but Little Feat is tops!
Feat are the best band I've heard in my life,my parents put me on to them..
Lowell was my alltime fave...but gotta give props accurately...On Your Way Down is actually a cover, written by the late great Allen Toussaint
Magnificent. Her voice at 23 has the blues of a much older person. Rivetting.
This tunes and almost whispering singing (Intelligent music and musicians), and thanks to Steve for writing this.
Thanks for posting this message Postman/woman.
I have applauded in the end.
These are musicians....they are making real live music....they are in very short supply these days...
LOVE IT
The comments that came from posting this made me feel really good. I thank you all. I am an old soul with an old heart. I have loved Bonnie from a long time ago and sang her songs whenever there was a band that would play them. She truly is an icon. An old soul.
Love her
Certainly, I sense a quality in her voice and intonations that are of the most honest sorrow and I don't know enough about her to intuit a cause. It may just be some inborn mystery that comes with her to reveal itself with such a relatable sound and style, 'old soul' may say it well enough.
There's great stuff out there. It's just much harder to find !
A friend of mine introduced her music to me back in 75. She was at her best then as can be heard on this recording. It is a real shame that she didn't make it big until she was half of what she was at her peak. She is amazing
I absolutely love Bonnie!
Fell for her and her music when I was 12. Now I'm 54 and still crazy about her. ✌🌍🎵
Unbelievably soulful! Have mercy, Bonnie. What a great talent.
This generation of white kids learned their craft at the feet of the century's greatest blues men whom they actively sought out, championed and dearly loved. The proof is in the pudding. Sanctified music straight from the heart to make you shiver and shake.
Saw Little Feat in Dallas in early 79, went to the room with the band and smoke a doobie with Lowell and the band. Asked them where'd you get the name for the band and Paul said, pointing to Lowell's shoes, "Well, look at them little fuckin feet". You don't forget a night like that.
what a great night
@@richiejohnson wow
now that's funny
Too funny
Good gracious!!! It has taken me over forty years to hear a better version than Blind Faith!
+But she does a beautiful job bringing out the druggie aspect. Artistry
I honestly can't tell if you are just trolling.
Give me a break Daryl. I posted this months ago. I am not interested in making this a project. It was merely a critique. I don't have time for trolling. Go persecute someone else.
Couldn't agree more. Absolutely my favourite version. The way she belts those peaks in the melody so they just about tear is uniquely wonderful.
so sorry it took yo 40, but hey, enjoy forever!!!
Wow...Had forgotten just how good Bonnie is. RIP, Lowell. And Steve writing the sound.
Would love to hear Bonnie Raitt and Steve Winwood do this together!
Why? This isn't good enough?
JOE ZIEGLER steve does a great version with his daughter Lily
Absolutely. Traffics music, Bonnies voice
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY
@@donnabrown8582 Blind Faith.
Absolutely enjoyed Bonnie Raitt and Lowell George - Little Feat!
I'm VERY lucky to have grown up in the 60's & 70's and have music like this, been listening to her version now for 60 year's.
😮 Almost too gorgeous a rendition of an authentic masterpiece: vocals, players, arrangement , mood. What a treat to close one’s eyes and just feel it go.
I love BONNIE RAITT MY SISTER TURNED ME ONTO HER MISIC WHEN I WAS 15 AND IM FLYING ON 55 NOW AND STILL LOVE HER MUSIC HER SONGS TELL SO MANY LIFE STORIES THAT I HAVE MADE MY WAY THRU I LOST MY SISTER TO CANCER BUT WE NEVER LOST BONNIE AND I PLAY HER SONGS. AND SING THE WORDS TO MY SISTER WHO FOUND HER WAY HOME
Not her song. don't credit her. Steve Winwood wrote it
No one said it was her song. Just a cover. Most anyone would know. Still delightful
Great Version.
Sorry babe.
beautifully said and spoken .. my deepest condolences for your loss yep Bonnie is great without a doubt.. it just works out for her so well to cover this Blind Faith classic best wishes to you
RIP Lowell George. Bonnie Raitt is one of the most under-rated slide players out there! Second only to Johnny Winter!
Is it Bonnie or Lowell sliding this
@@chunderwunderwhinger1331 You can hear that socket Lowell used... such a crisp recording.
Check out Ellen Mcilwaine version. Red headed slide
guitarist who released her version in 1972 also I think. Different style but both are memorable.
And Duane Allman
I know I'm getting older, but man...they don't make it like this anymore....fantastic...
Soulful, smooth, sultry, powerful, poignant, musical talent....she's got it all.
I saw Miss Bonnie at the New Orleans Jazz Fest back in the early 1980's. With all the schlock in this world, it's not often one sees the real deal; when you do, it leaves an impression.
Love her.
***** Well now that figures, cuz' you're a survivor. Great to hear from you.
Yes, Sir.
Robert Gipson she brings tears to the eye, and i get a strange skin sensation some would call goose bumps...soul music defined...
Saw her open for Clapton in Toronto. Both came out for encore with, "Before You Accuse Me", then 'kiss,kiss'.
Absolutely phenomenal! Lowell was one of my favorite players. Bonnie, I appreciate the way you've used your talent over the years. Peace y'all!
Self-quarantined in Aug 2020 with a tight throat and wet eyes from the memories. Graduated high school in '72.
oh yeah
My brother was a '72 graduate. Ainsworth High School in Flint MI.
71 MacArthur Houston, Tx
Me too! Isn't this a gem?! I remember seeing Blind Faith play this.....
@@gabriellegallagher-mckinne435 they did it originally.
Man Bonnie’s voice just melts me….so good
Shows how the 70s were a much more mellow and spontaneous time, in many respects. Thinking about what song to play at the spot and taking as much time for tuning as needed, without any complaining from the audience.
True enough; before clip on tuners it was all done by ear. Also, the primitive gear (no boards full of stomp boxes and rack mounted effects processors) didn't cover up mistakes, which left it raw, and imbued the music with a lot more human touch/feeling... at least to my sensibilities. To be honest though, I have to admit I don't miss all that E,.A. G. D. B. E. noodling between songs.
I always view this as a crystalized moment in time that needs to be in a museum. Like a perfect unique moment of fate.
I was already a fan of hers at this point. She was probably 20 then. And this was maybe three years after Stevie did this with blind faith. She knocked me flat then and still does. This was a year I discovered her, Emmylou, John Prine, David Bromberg, John Hammond and Townes van zandt
I love Bonnie Raitt. So soulful. Most who even think of her think of her brief period of pop success in the 80's not these early years of her genius.
Some voices simply have the way of telling the truth more beautifully than others. Such a voice is Bonnie. How wonderfully lucky we are to be the ears to hear her tell it.
One of the things (besides all of the great classic rock artists)that I miss most about the 70s, are the broadcasts of live concert music ,both in the studio and from the concert halls. Today's music scene just doesn't hold a candle to it.
Alison Steele... "The Night Tripper"! Hadn't thought about that show in years, thank you!
menRstupidwomenRevil Agree, I miss the live broadcasts as well.
menR - I've been on a Midnight Special binge. There are still good reasons to love TH-cam
menRstupidwomenRevil ia
If you grew up in the 60's and 70's you were so lucky cuz we had the best music of all time.
you may think you are cool, but you will never be Bonnie Raitt 1972 cool.
I met her in 72!
jecophoto TH-cam Channel that is correct!!
I DON'T WANNA BE HER
nobody had any idea.
Was she drunk or stoned? Couldn't tell.
There ain't nothing like the music of the drug-fueled 1970s.
Saw her open for Little Feat at Max's Kansas City- It was like having them in your living room!
pure GOLD,.. Thank You for this long buried GEM! This IS the "GOOD" stuff!
shit i was at this show. 1972. got ripped. shite faced. & im STILL trying to get home. think im finally in the right county.
For some reason, your comment gave me chill bumps... :)
t mac Hopefully. Time will tell. All the best.
We can, ALL, get lost, easily...."the slippery slope" is still the best description I've heard.
So, here's to "TRACTION" for us all.
Noone is immune, so, be kind and help a Brother/Sister up, be a shoulder for them to lean on, and, listen to them thru your heart, and forgive them if they falter.
But, for God's grace, there go I.
Except this wasn't a show, it was a closed recording session in a recording studio in New Orleans. There's video of it.
Steve Winwood would love this as we do. Not only is she have a great voice but that lady can flat out play a guitar especially slide. Love this, thanks for sharing
Lowell George, so missed. Wonderful to hear him playing with Bonnie Raitt.
I thank my folks for turning me on to these folx
No matter how many time I stream this, it blows me away. Bonnie and Lowell and John and Freebo. My oh my.
At this juncture in my life, nothing feels like home. My parents are gone. My siblings are scattered. My kids are scattered. My grandsons are scattered.... "Well, I'm near the end, and I just ain't got the time. I'm wasted, and I can't find my way home." I'm not high. I'm just wasted and spent. This new century has to take on a reality of its own. This reality isn't what we knew as children born in the 1950's.
EmpressOfWyoming58 well expressed ....existential... Virtual hugs in vidcor lunnacy time
At least you get to live in Wyoming and not in some skanky city. I checked out to north Idaho, just me and my cats, it's okay but sometimes the music stabs you in the heart for the old days. Just listened to Robert Plant Ship of Fools, can't get over it.....
some guy wrote a book in the 70s called Future Shock

Are you still with us?
I've loved the Blind Faith version for all these year and never knew this wonderful version was out there! Started looking for Angel from Montgomery and wound up here. Made my day and then some!
