"Green Onions" - Booker T. Jones, Daryl Hall, Mayer Hawthorne

[Wacokid48]

thes guys are just having a blast! nothing like true music!

Play this song in any mall, party, bowling alley..don't matter..gotta get up and groove!

[limbo0031]

@fairlyfastfreddie1 It looks like the object on the neck of the guitar is a camera with a fish eye lens. It gets used for the shot at 1:10 onwards. Paul came out with Daryl and John Oates when we saw them live at A Day on the Green concert in Melbourne. Very good!

[metalgod2347]

such a well mixed performance and you still can't hear the hand drums :(

[gmvalentine626]

Holy sh-t! This is incredible! I'm on a seriously natural high!

[harryflocyberman]

Dude turn up the reverb. Where's the fender super reverb for the guitar solo, what were you thinking?

[Nashvegasan]

Drummer sucks.

[rukiddinbro]

Hammond B-3 is the coolest instrument ever created in human history!!! :D

[fairlyfastfreddie1]

@rukiddinbro I just might have to agree with you on that, brother!

[HammondB3TipsDotCom]

I really like Booker T and his B-3 sound and playing and everyone is doing a perfect job here! Thanks for sharing this!

[fairlyfastfreddie1]

What is on the Fender guitar near the nut? Anyone know? Thanks.

[shivermetimbers345]

@fairlyfastfreddie1 It looks a bit like a tuner to me, i could be wrong though!

[fairlyfastfreddie1]

@shivermetimbers345 Kinda what I thought also. Thanks.

[fairlyfastfreddie1]

The whole band is perfect. I just wondered if anyone knows who the guitarist is?

[LollyLouLa]

@fairlyfastfreddie1 I wanna know too!! have been looking everywhere trying to find out his name. He's fantastic isnt he!!

[LollyLouLa]

@fairlyfastfreddie1 Just found out, his name is Paul Pesco!!

[fairlyfastfreddie1]

@LollyLouLa Thanks Lolly! I just like the way he phrased his licks - not overstated like so many guitarists today. Harry's right though, he could have plugged in a little more reverb. The Super Reverb was meant for just that. I don't know what the complaint is about the drummer. He's doing just what he's supposed to - support the band and keep a steady beat. My wife, who sang for years, used to complain about "busy" drummers. Fine on solos, but the rest of the time just keep the beat.

[fairlyfastfreddie1]

As Taj Majal once said, "Let it tickle your auditory nerves." Again, and again . . .

[fairlyfastfreddie1]

I couldn't agree more with every comment! What an ever-lovin' treat!

Thanks, from one of the old guys . (67 years young.)

[beeroosterm]

These guys were all getting wood playing this tune with Booker T. How many chances does one get to play a song they loved from their youth with the guy who made it famous?

[kezie666666]

[rockfordfiles001]

The best jam session of all TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quadeCD]

I've been listening to this all day! What a legendary tune! And the drummer kicks asses! Thanks for sharing! :))

[fairlyfastfreddie1]

@quadeCD Help! What do we do now, Quade? I can't stop either! To many memories. 

[soulwomen68]

i had the 45 of this and i played it so often that i wore out the record. Here I am @ 58 and I still can't help snapping my fingers and dancing. Real talent and great music never die.

[arame29]

We're only three weeks into the New Year. If nothing else happens, this performance made my year. Tell me they don't @ other like two peas in a pod. Great music transcends time.

[TheWolfhond13]

[RonSafreed]

In 1967 when this song first came out, it was played all over am radio in those days. Booker T&the M.G were a mixed race music group simular the the American Breed&some others as well lol!!!!!!!!!!!
