Savoy Brown Hellbound - Hellbound Train 1972

[catahouladu]

THIS ONE IS NOT THE TRUE SONG OFF THIS ALBUM!! this one's ending is WRONG!!!

[catahouladu]

wait-- who chopped the TRUE ending off this song?!?!?! dang bummer!

[catahouladu]

OMG, 1974-1975 and the Lake St house, Aurora IL. ... 4WD Fords and an 18-wheeler to Seattle and back. those were THE NIGHTS!! the "ending" of this song was EVERYTHING back then!

[shinabekid]

remember 12" utahs@ leon&daves back in '73.

[Insight200801]

Got my guitar adding my own riffs... Great jam along song... Now it's moving... Double leading it... Harmonizing the guitars.. intertwine, blow my mind... Flicking, pulling and bending... Yea...

[MrMickeybitzko]

Excellent version of this tune, better than the one on Tongues of Vertigo.

[triptoheaveandho]

man this is such a classic = i love as much now as i did then

[fidomusic]

I first saw Savoy Brown in 1968 in Erdington, England. The next time I saw them was in the World Trade Centre Concourse 10 days before 9/11. They finished up with this and blew me away. I met Kim Simmons afterwards and he remembered the Erdington gig.

[TheJanvinyl]

This is where the eagles found the twist in outlaw man,or am I kidding????????????

[kbdevo1962]

This track is so Awesome Live .....Sorry but recordings will never compare to the real thing . I seen the "Make Me Sweat" tour . I'd only heard that LP about a week before the show . Imagine hearing this track for the 1st time LIVE . ! Goosebumps . This song will always be one of my all time favs....

[spazlucy]

Nice!! DJ420

[nodrogriew]

Cooooooooooooooooollllllllllll­lllll

[FollowYourBLISS100]

I was 4 years old then and I still like it i was 7 and now im 46 think that i would love to watch these men play as true musicians as they are

[Sativa1337]

fucking awesome, this is real music

[barrympls]

It's Dave Walker's amazing vocals that really make this a classic.

[purestock22]

Saw them in 72 with zztop Ft. Worth Tx. $4.00 tickets! those were the days! Think one or two the these guys later formed Foghat!

[cuateoneto]

sounded great in a 69 Dodge van toolin' down a dark a Texas farmroad;) doin' 95, glad i'm here to say this:D

[falconkeeper1]

i love this by them...had this in the early 80s..thanks for sharing

[lostwolf31]

the 2 idiots who didn´t like THIS MUSIC should be special treated...

what a shame!!!

THIS IS FUCKING REAL MUSIC

just feel it

[kbdevo1962]

@lostwolf31 LOL They probably get into Boy George, Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga .... I don't know about you but this is my favorite Savoy Brown tune ...

[lostwolf31]

@kbdevo1962 it´s a "CROWNJEWEL" in musics history my friend...

[scrapiron1000]

Hey Barry, this is way deeper than some political chit, and yeah,,, we prolly werer trippin the first time

[lostwolf31]

one of the best songs ever, for sure!!!

[huichol53]

These guys were vastly underrated. Every guy in this band was a master at playing his part in this killer band.all of their songs are literally on fire. Like rusty said above my comment, so were the (Old Fleetwood Mac, with Peter Green), and even old John Mayall, like The Blues Alone. sure wish I still had those old albums...Huichol53.......

[SteveJ2011]

geez Savoy Brown the teacher..what?

[EccentricRichard]

Hah, Ted Nugent ripped this off with Stranglehold... then U2 reworked it as Bullet the Blue Sky... I hate it when people rant 'Oh, that's ripped off so-and-so so it's shit'. They're all so different...

[icecold04044]

Im conducting that train

[jdconlee]

Kip Simmonds gave me a light in Pgh, Pa.Matchbook red velveteen embossed Savoy Brown. I gave Kip a codl Heineken and a hit on some great pot, Don't tell anyone!!!

[roche1955]

why the fade out at the end ? i loved the sudden stop & silence on the original..it was spooky & chilling, and very effective.

[InferiorEntity]

what the hellbound happened?

[ygol69]

well..the song is political in nature dude..so...

[mobelly5288]

My first husband copied the "hell bound train" cover, complete with the demon on a spare bedroom wall... it was freakin awsome!!! He did a great job!! But we had to paint over it when the spare bedroom had to be used for our baby daughter's room ... 

[hawkeye07311]

it good an bad memories from my past i can relate to all savoy browns words in this bad ass song.

[MsPokeyman]

Here in America I speak ENGLISH and this the Best Rock and Roll - Blues Band ever!!

[Marco33185]

De la BOMBE ... comme on en fait plus ... une merveille de progression et d'évasion ! On fait partie du voyage !!

Les 70's !!!! What Else !!???

[Marco33185]

De la BOMBE ... comme on en fait plus ...

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

a 58 year old fan since detroit days at the lengendary grande ballroom! what a long strange trip it's been...

[boris4911]

top of the line blues rock form the early 70's

[scotty2756]

saw them last night in santa cruz ca by far the best blues show ive seen in 20 years f ing awesome current band is incredible go see them new album out soon voodoo moon

[alamkarb]

I heard this on our local radio station at 3 yesterday afternoon! I never thought I would hear music like this here! I had to youtube the title to see who it was. All 9 minutes of it also!

[leafrelief1]

@alamkarb You were very lucky. Especially @ 3:00pm. If you hear it at all, it

would be @ 3:00am.....

[alamkarb]

@leafrelief1

I've heard it at least once more too. I'm still blown away at what that station plays and when. The ending had me thinking the radio station had fouled up at first.

[MsPokeyman]

I have Loved this Band since I was in my teens - I am now 53

They are the BEST ever and have never been in GRAMMYS that I know of and they should be !

[dulcimerz2drumstix]

One of my all time favorite cult classics. Met Kim Simmons and Dave Walker, got to party with them and can say two of the coolest musicians I've met. So many different line ups of Savoy Brown, but always great in concert. Thank you VolksMusik08 for posting this! Owned the cd at one time but the sound quality was horrible. This sounds much better.

[MsPokeyman]

@dulcimerz2drumstix Good for you

This is my favorite - but it was the Original SAVOY BROWN that I LIKE!!

[rustyruckus]

Fuck yeah! I know that train

[Oshkoshjohn]

The first time I heard this song, I fell off the couch when it ended!

[animaldee]

These Guys always put on a good show Loved this song

[djlegand]

thanks i'm old too. saw savoy in rochester ny early 72 in a  country fair hall-mott the hoople, robin trower & savoy brown

[Ironhorse7874]

@djlegand

Trower is another brilliant musician!

[holzg01]

Yeah, I was there when this came out. Saw Kim play at the Dinosaur in Syracuse, too.

[djlegand]

@holzg01 when he lived in snake river country above syracuse ? if so i was there

[Ironhorse7874]

Classic stuff right here. I was lucky enough to catch Savoy back around 1970 in Yorkshire, if I recall Rory & Taste was also on the bill. Youlden was on vox.

Yeah, I'm old.

[djlegand]

@Ironhorse7874 you're a lucky man to have seen such a great bill

[Ironhorse7874]

@djlegand

Thanks. I also pride myself on never missing a Black Sabbath concert in the early years, seen them from Newcastle down to France, 1969-1970. Met my first wife drinking in a pub after a Sabbath show,with the band. Music back then so much less commercial and more personal.

[johntasha2]

@Ironhorse7874

Lucky enough, indeed, esp. with Youlden on vox. Original Savoy. And add Taste? I'm 60 and that's prob my dream concert.

[Ironhorse7874]

@johntasha2

I only wish I could remember who stole the show! Personally, I've always enjoyed Rory as a solo artist.

[ramon1810l]

this is not a song this is my friend!!!!he rolls the joint,he lights it up!i just admire it!

[slim610]

Been on the train looking in from the outside for so long. Savoy Brown one over looked British Bands form the time when Rock n Roll was flooding to our shores. Peace

[redc1c4]

i got in so much trouble playing this song on the air at the college radio station.....

who knew you weren't supposed to push the JBL monitors to max?

[argi1968argi]

one from the most favorite band in btitish rock!!!! fantastic group...here in greece savoy brown...most loved from others!!!!

[DOConROCK1]

This song turned me onto Savoy Brown------

Yeah......"FAN-FUCKENE-TASTIC~­~~

[thumperquimslit]

Reminds me of the Flower power people of the sixties.

Far Out Man. Music for the last 30 years has sucked.

When you put a suit in charge of music it Fails.

Back then if you had long hair and played corp.listened'

This is the bomb

Rock on

@thumperquimslit there is plenty of good music.You just need to know where to look for it.Commercial music has always sucked.sorry to hear that you haven't heard anything good in the last 30 years.That is sad.Don't get me wrong.I love Savoy brown and classic rock, but you are missing out on a lot of good stuff.

[genxxxersize]

:o)

[PugsBuni]

One of my most favorite Savoy Brown songs. Brings back great memories...

[PugsBuni]

One of my favorite Savoy Brown songs....brings back some great memories...well, the one's I can remember...;-)

[reissue]

Oh yeah, great album cover.

[rustyruckus]

Just got turned on to this song by a friend. So great discovering gems that have somehow evaded me. same friend turned me on to old UFO and fleetwood mac...(the peter green years). Good stuff!

[cyberties]

@rustyruckus Now there's a true friend!

[rustyruckus]

@cyberties Indeed

[rustyruckus]

@rustyruckus I just want to say to "rusty" You are the coolest SOB the world has ever known!....YEAH!!

[mmusicmann]

@rustyruckus you're on the right track.

[Mikey5406]

Sitting in a friend's garage that had been turned into a den. Blacklight posters all over the walls, this on the turntable and a guy with an upside frisbee on his lap . Of course back then frisbees weren't meant to be thrown.....

[wchwsky]

I'm a friggin farmer from Northern Indiana. I'd be rollin along pickin corn, listening to Savoy. At 3,000 acres, Hellbound Train on more time. 1972 was a Great Time

[fenlandfolly]

Hey, Savoy Brown was a South London thing in the late 60's early 70's - does not translate easily to nowadays or U.S. as Kim Symonds has become - keeping the Savoy Brown name going. You got to be there at the time to really appreciate this.

[mourningwuud]

savoy brown & lsd!!

[WimGrundy]

HELL - it's more than a concept

[rogerstill71]

We used to listen to this on acid

[theopaul01]

This is an all time favorite of mine except the alblum I bought ended with the song stopping abruptly at the end. Maybe VolksMusik08 faded it out because he thought it sounded better. It don't. Anyway, I dig all Savoy Brown freaks.

[MrGeorgiebest7]

Grande Kims Simmonds vera anima British Blues....

[mo9504]

We use smoke a bowl of hash back in the day and listen to the whole album ( the key word here is album ), still have the album and would not sell it for anything. Great memories.

Thanks, be well everyone

[magnumfour88]

Back in the day, when we thought we knew everything, did a purple barrel (acid for you youngsters) and rocked all nite. Big problem, laid down an looked up, saw the cover of this album come alive right on the ceiling. That was it, no more drugs. been clean since. Still great music 35 years later

[mo9504]

my childhood, they dont make music like this anymore, yeah, light a joint

[khote14]

oh man, some wine, some weed, whatever your buzz is, this song takes you back!

[9onaeb]

Oh, yah, voofda, ya got me cooking now!

[zeroacidtest]

I'm still looking for "If I Could See An End"

[wkmiguel]

I remember cruzin to this number in my chair a long 38 years ago, and still enjoy the trip every time.

[elifsu123]

Still have the LP

[backburnerjazz]

Dave Walker was the vocalist here. He is still singing and sounding better than ever. The Dave Walker band just released a new CD called "Crazy All the Time".

[nhgranite1]

big bong with Zip up in Central Sq apartments, walls so thick the police downstairs couldn't hear a thing, Keene, NH, 73-74, lost in the cover art, almost possessed by the story art inside the cover, those album covers, late 60s early 70s were true underground art, Zippy understood. My best bud knows now the gospel is true.

[TheDrive55]

@nhgranite1 AND WHO WOULD YOUR FRIEND BE,JUST GOT HIS FIRST HEARING.oR JUST BRAIN DEAD,JUST KIDDING.aLL THESE GUYS ARE FRIENDS OF MINE ,TEST ME,AND,SEE.I AM NOT DOING ANYTHIND RIGHT NOW,I WILL HAVE ONE CALL U.u SOUND LIKE A VERY NICE PERSON.iF U WANT TO KNOW WHO U ARE TALKING TO ASK.

[grahamman18]

I think I have heard this song fading out at the end it is so cool and great beat.

[Cantrememberjack]

Savoy Brown live at the Electric Ballroom Dallas, Texas 1974? Small venue with a freakin crazy crowd..Most of them in the parking lot doing their thing between jams.

That place was a major connection convention.

[ZSOSER69]

This was taken from the damn CD and they fucked up the ending of this song on the CD. On the original album the song rolls along like a demented rock and roll train and then just cuts off so fast and hard that I had a buddy fall out of his chair when it ended. I hate when the recording company cant leave well enough alone. Still this is better than anything being put out today. Next stop HELL.

[bigbass3]

I remember this song from 38 years ago. lol And it didn't fade out ... IT STOPPED.

[normanusutuk]

I was 18 years old when I jumped on the boxcar train southbound, made it as far as Winnipeg, Manitoba. With bag of weed for the train ride, oh yeah! and some hash too. This happen in early 90's. All the way from Churchill Manitoba to Winnipeg, what a ride even if it was not Hellbound

[bentpolski]

What a BAND!

[olddavid4]

Is this still the lineup of Lonesome Dave, Tone, Kim, et al?

[Denysdnepr]

Good band!

[Smudgefizz]

Probably my favorite Savoy Brown song! Spooky! Got to see Kim Simmonds perform it live with his band a few years ago in a bar.

[girard1973]

memories...

[genxxxersize]

F***, who the hell isn't on board? :o)

[kxle11]

once i finish restoring my Pontiac 1966 grand prix this will be the first song i play in my baby haha =)

[fmdog44]

where's Shirley Temple when you need her?

[freakflag56]

still feelin that shit. 1970 so fuckin tight, rush like a mofo like i be hearin it for the 1st

[joethepainter90]

I can remember the black light posters smokin pot hanging out down in the

basement Hoping our parents didnt smell it!!

[04041919]

One of the greatest songs ever!

[ckimmieplay]

I can listen to this song, what thoughts are running through my mind. High School oh yea!!!

[barryonedrop1]

what is this some polical forum, this is about Savor Brown... you people tripping or what? go to another forum and let us chill on the music...get a life yo. your on a hell bound train...crash already.

[freakflag56]

@barryonedrop1 fuck yea on the train

[reissue]

@barryonedrop1 Best friggin post ever!

[travisicq]

How old are u boys? U don't know shit!

[MrSid32007able]

all of the above comments have nothing to do with music.

[Bluessontlavie]

fuck novak, so high and mighty, yet ran some old fucker down and kept going.

[bensmith3200]

That's a hell of a bassline. Just one bar and it sounds like it should go on for all of eternity.

[mfish618]

Damn, such anger...how is a political statement appropriate as a response to this video?

Anyway, thanks for posting this vid, brings back a lot of memories.

[william3231954]

This is one of the few songs,, to light a joint and crank it up Maximum until the walls vibrate

[mattbastardsen]

@william3231954 Yes, this and the one from Pink Floyd that always made my couch levitate (I swear!) but I can't remember the name right now

[mattbastardsen]

@mattbastardsen OK, it was Another Brick in the Wall (doh)

[daddyo43us2008]

@william3231954 I agree Used to drop some acid put this on & just trip...

[larrygriffith]

used to hear this one late night on the only FM station in the the state ZZQ 102. great song! if y"all want to make noise about politics , run for office. I'll vote for you ! then we can through stones at you!

[HackGoby]

That dont stop good blues shit for brains

[TheMilitantblackman]

sparkyization--are you talking about the retarded negro who stole the last election?

[TheMilitantblackman]

fastfeat. I'm sure Bob Novak will be waiting for your sorry, evil, liberal ass in hell with a pitchfork made from a dozen cattle prods to fit the size of your thrice over-bored asshole, and I'm sure he'll use that pitchfork in much the same manner as your "partner" uses his fist, except you won't like it quite so much. Why do you libtards get off so much on defaming the dead? I hope Novak has access to barbed wire as well, maybe then you'll think thrice about defaming a great American.

[apachescalp]

Amen Bro!

[Tessmage]

Bob Novak is dead, pal.

Good riddance to a traitor, too. Stupid fascist that he was.

PS -- liberals wrote the United States Constitution. They also wrote The Declaration Of Independence. So please shove that up your close-minded, neo-con ass and spin on it, okay..?

We now return you to your regularly scheduled music video.

[josefwombat]

@Tessmage

Actually, Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Franklin were all radicals, but conservatives. The liberals contributed the Bill of Rights. It's not enough to read the Constitution. The Federalist Papers present the conservative perspective, while the Antifederalist Papers deal with the liberal side. Individual liberties; that's the liberal side. But, none of this should take away from SB's hellacious, gut-churning jam.

[Tessmage]

@josefwombat

That is incorrect. You may consider them to be conservatives in comparison to the standards of today... but in relation to the standards of THEIR day, they were most definitely liberals.

[josefwombat]

Actually, I am correct. What I consider them is of no consequence. By the "standards of THEIR day," as you put it. The framers considered themselves to be conservative. Again, they fought for an empowered central government which we did not have under the Articles of Confederation. Individual rights are generally championed by liberals (e.g., The Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment). These are not my words; it's their words.

[Tessmage]

No Josef... revolutionaries are not "conservatives." Nor were the Whigs. You need to bone up on your American history, instead of trying to rewrite it to suit your modern day Tea Party-esque agenda.

Liberals built this nation. Case closed. Just live with it.

[josefwombat]

You are comparing terms that have no similarity.  Revolutionaries seek change, period. They can be conservative or liberal, but they seek change.

[josefwombat]

Which Whig Party do you mean? Revolutionary or 1850's? The 1850's version was a pre-runner to the Republican Party. Lincoln was originally a Whig. Conservatives gave us the Constitution. Liberals gave us the Bill of Rights. Both sides have trampled on the Constituion since its inception. Again, this is not about me. To hell with me. You need to progress beyond a high school understanding of our government.

[josefwombat]

As far as the case being closed, you can shove the case up your back side for all I care, since, just like me, you are of no consequence and no authority. This is my last post. My apologies to the SB fans, but our Liberal government is on the same train to hell.

[freakflag56]

@josefwombat stand up bat it aint got a damn thing to do with liberal, republican, democrat,whatever bunch of fuckin crimanls need to be called out and account for there shit. they will get theres this life or next ,right ted kennedy

[josefwombat]

They handed us down transcripts of their arguments along with the Constitution. I hate to bore everyone else on this website, but I am more than happy to argue this via email. There are websites dedicated to this. Radical does not mean liberal.

[luvdemheels]

If you are wondering who removed the thumbs downs from your comments it was me. You are spot on in your history review. Our FOUNDING FATHERS were indeed of the conservative ideal. To try to say otherwise is just a pitiful attempt to rewrite history. Stick to your conservative roots and don't back down to the liberal idealogues.

[lilvebaitman]

GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN 1972 WHAT A TIME FOR MUSIC AND DRUGS

WHAT WAS THE QUESTION

[josefwombat]

@TheMilitantblackman

No idea what this has to do with the music. But, I'll be marching in lock-step straight to hell with fastfeat if that's the case. Novak didn't know what he wanted to be, liberal or conservative. He just wanted to be in the spotlight. Should have been shot over the security leak among other things. He was a traitor.

[AmbassadorButa]

so that's the fadeout everyone was talking about, eh?

[Thadesgal]

What a mindfuck! Shit! Haven't heard this in decades! :o P

[zzzmac]

Great Album... Savoy Brown! Early Seventies was a lot of fun!!

[fastfeat]

Here's one for you, Bob Novak. May you burn long and hot, traitor. Good riddance!

[Thadesgal]

ouch!

[Litlwolf06]

cant get much better than this

[kbizz63]

ROCK ON... Old school....

[dardor65]

Danke VolksMusik.Das ist sehr,sehr gut..Ich liebe das music..Das ist nich Roger Daltrey?

[tampatek]

no, not roger daltry.

[Cervicconstruction]

This song is a take on having enough money to take enough heroin to hit the end of the line.

[MrZebbz]

actually its based off a short story called hellbound train about a man who sold his soul to live a long life of excess. however now he's paying for his greed by having to ride the hellbound train

[Cervicconstruction]

Six of One......ect.

[sparkyization]

Or it could be a story about a current prominent politician who came from a "checkered" and dubious past and sold his soul for fame and glory however fleeting, ... and in the process completely destroyed his Country ...  :-(

[hauihase]

Ich habe zwar noch nie von denen gehört, bin aber echt angetan. Gute, alte handgemachte Mucke! Danke fürs hochladen.

Freue mich immer, neues/altes entdeckt zu bekommen.

[Naukeblix]

Kommt voll gut!!!

[kotsos32]

Geile musik Bernd!!!!!
