This was the first Savoy Brown album I played back in '69. The live side was the first side I played on the Blues Matter album. This was the first song I heard by Savoy Brown. Got hooked and became a Savoy Brown fan ever since. Still play their music every year.
Remember driving the autobahn in Germany listening to Savoy Brown while stationed in Germany in the early 70's plus seeing them live in these small halls with my German friends. Was an awesome time living the 70's dream never to be repeated.
@@juliusschwencke142 Check out the Markus King Band, then. Joe Bonamassa, if you're over 40. Blues is still kicking - Simmond's legacy lives on. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the year.
People always think he is hard to work with. Kim is one of the best people I ever met. The problem is that he is the draw and everybody thinks they deserve better pay. He would give it if it were feasible. He has his family to support and I can tell you that the record labels he signed to haven't gave him much. Deram is notorious for paying shit royalties. He was with London who went under in 1978 right after Savage Return. Robert "Mutt" Lange produced that and it was excellent. No sales. He has had more band members than probably anyone and still remains undeterred. Still he keeps putting out records and touring. He is a true blues artist. He loves what he does and I love what he does. Long live Kim Simmonds!
Was KIM'S co- host 6 times in 7 years. Prince of a man- kind, classy, fun, a character, & a golfer. Seen him 20+ times or so. Dave Olsen from EUGENE played drums for him in the 90's. KIM'S playing with MAYALL'S guitarist BUDDY WHITTINGTON at a SAVOY / MAYALL gig has yet to be surpassed.
From the Blue Matter album. This cut is arguably one of the most earnest blues cut to originate out of Britain. That piano solo is proof. That right hand of the pianist is clean, precise, and true.
I met Kim In Ft Wayne 2 years ago at 4ds bar & grill...he walked up to my son and said I ve heard about you ,shook his hand and walked away...my son is a guitarist that sits in with several bands ,now, I dont know how he had heard of him or how he even knew but my son just about shit! LOL
I saw these guys at the Fillmore East, probably '69 or '70, second billed to I don't remember who. I was unprepared but amazed. Here 's this guy in a top hat (!) smoking a cigar, singin' all boozy and blusey (Yulden), and this little blonde elf toting a huge Flying V, ripping out scorching solos and grinning like a Cheshire Cat! (Simmons.) Great fun, fantastic music. I still own several LPs by the great Savoy Brown.
One of my first musical emotions some 43 years ago,especially the intro!Listened randomly for hours in my room,played guitar all day long to try to understand how these guys played this beautiful,soulful music.We didn t know what a bend or a fuzz box is at the time in my remote place and had horrible cheap guitars!But,you know,we were young!!
One of the best and only 22000 hits. I feel special. Saw them at the East Town in Detroit with Cris Youldin and they were the bomb. Detroit loved them and they felt the same. About four encores. One of the best shows ever and I have seen my share and the shares of a few others.
That would be the one and only Bob Hall, a session musician who has played with just about everyone connected to the blues in England. His resume is quite impressive. Funny thing is, that he was not a full time member of Savoy Brown. He had a daytime job as a teacher and would only fill in gigs when it fit his schedule. Glad this one did.
My album jacket says Bob Hall on piano. Interestingly there are no pictures of him on my vinyl album jackets. Sometimes they didn't show pics of Youlden either. This is one of my favorite blues numbers. Gonna see Kim Simmonds here in Detroit this weekend. Hope they do some of these older tunes.
They were one of the best blues bands around at that time. Bob Hall on piano?! Kim at his best and creative. Lonesome Dave one of the greatest blues singers ever!
One of my all time favorites by SB. Also would we have ever heard Lonesome Dave sing on a SB LP if Chris weren't sick for this gig? Only LP Dave sang all vocals was last one Looking In, before spliting with Tony and Roger to form Foghat. RIP Dave 12 yrs ago today 2-7-12.
I agree with jaybird & pigrat! One of the greatest blues solos of all time! - ps - Dave did a great job on the vocals - he died 9 yrs ago today 2-7-09 of cancer. listen to him guest sing High on your Love on the '95 CD Bring it home!
Best song off of Blue Matter. Their version of It Hurts Me Too is awesome also. Kim's best and Chris Youlden is one of the best blues singers of all time.
@JasonEmery9 Further to the above, wikipedia's writeup on the 'Blue Matter' lp says that they were adding some live tracks to the lp at the last minute, but that Chris Youlden had toncilites, and couldn't sing. L. Dave sings this one, 'louisiana blues', and perhaps others on that album.
I saw them do a great "Louisiana Blues" at Fillmore East, sometime in 1969. Was it when they were on the same bill with Buddy Miles & The Grateful Dead?
Take some time and track back on Simmonds and Savoy Brown. You will be glad you did. You'll also be a bit astonished. You'll hear some of the best blues ever recorded. My guess is he was influenced heavily by Albert King. Some great rockers, as well. The man rates right up there. No B.S.
I presume that Lonesome Dave sang it, instead of Youlden, since L. Dave wrote it. Great lyrics "You're acting like you love me......but you can't fool me...."
sittin here pleasantly stoned, been raining on & off all day. St.Vincent comes to mind. While I was listening to h'is rip around 4:00, I thought of how it would sound with her doing it. call me a Chesire Cat,.. she's do it Rightous. ! Sweet dreams.. lol.
what a fantastic blues band, and those were the days...the magic mojo was dah drugs....look at the Stones what have they done in the last 10 years (but be the fucking Rolling Stones) Musical history my good people, Fillmore, Winterland, xxx ballroom (brain dead, can't remember the ballroom's name....LLRnR
Bill Bruford was with SB in 1968 (before he became one of the founding members of Yes). Although he played on no album, he did gig with the band. Could this be one of those gigs?
Bob Hall, nice! He was on the very first LP Shakedown (Decca UKI) never out in the States. He was also on the bands two singles on Mike Vernon's Purdah label - those 4 tracks were re-issued on volumes 1 & 2 of the "Blues Anytime" anthology of British Blues, also out in the States & reissued in various formats. Bob Hall was also on the ROcket 88 album on Atlantic - kind of an unofficial Jack Bruce and friends loose almost jam session - great record

I want to lay on the cool green grass under a shade tree listening to this & just watch the clouds roll by....give me the blues baby....anytime at all
brings back memories of people that are gone now but not forgotten
70's lived it loved it. it was and is a state of mind
don't mean to nitpick but this was late '60s ... well, maybe i do mean to nitpick ... but great nonetheless
Simply one of the best songs and performances ever - full of emotions.

I'm a young man, 28yr and I wish my generation could create some thing as epic as this.
theactualstephers we will. Yee of little faith.
@Brandon Lott ..still waiting. And it's almost 2023.

KIM'S playing with MAYALL'S guitarist
BUDDY WHITTINGTON
at a SAVOY / MAYALL gig has yet to be surpassed.
IMHO the Bluest blues ever tracked on wax. Heartbreaking lyric, unbelievable guitar. RIP Kim Simmonds

Lonesome Dave would have been 71 today..He wrote this song,recorded on 1969's Blue Matter.
Great band and an AWESOME blues song. England did it right with these guys.

Rick Shultz that's awesome man!!!!!!!!:)
One of my all time favorite Kim Simmons solo songs! ps - KIm will be 61 12-06-08 Sat - Great guitarists can rock till they drop! Keep rockin, Kim!
One of my favorites
Super Good blues

still gives me the shivers
Saw them at a small club in Elyria, Ohio. 1969
Center stage front. A show to remember.

I remember very well, great shows
Yes;!!! On their 3rd album , there via a song " Savoy Brown Boogie ". The vocalist mentions the people of Detroit and how great they were.
One of the best bands i saw at Fillmore West around 69, caught them at least twice there.
Excellent - good to hear 'ole Kim again - thanks for posting
Yehh simply the best.....Savoy Brown..
That would be the one and only Bob Hall, a session musician who has played with just about everyone connected to the blues in England. His resume is quite impressive.

Great rendition of going down . Best song ever! The vocals is super cool. The group Livin blues is far out man!
Take me back mr.peabody...in your way back machine...just 1 more show.....
DE LAS MEJORES BANDAS QUE HE CONOCIDO, TEMAS BRUTALES, BLUES QUE DESANGRABAN, POR SIEMPRE SAVOY BROWN!!!!

@71sunset The sound quality is good because it's an album cut off the Blue Matter album. I think it's a fantastic ut, too.
Lonesome Dave on vocals. RIP

Avalon Ball Room?
Some of those brit boys could really play the blues. I liked Simmonds and Peter Green much more than Clapton...

How can anyone 21 yrs old play the blues like this??? Can someone please explain 🤷♂️
