Ian Hunter (with Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor & Brian May) - You Nearly Did Me In

[heubler1]

What, love for Dave Sanborn? This was really HIS era, as a studio musician. He was everywhere.

[redseven1]

4 the hardcore only!!! all others go play to gaga..

[CRBjeep]

This is awesome. I've had an ongoing battle with a friend who swears I am wrong about it being Freddie,Brian and Roger on backup.I know Freddie when I hear him,damn it!

[ogdroadsong]

@CRBjeep it is Queen on backing vocals, also I think the sax is the guy from Young Americans by Bowie.

[blablabla9ish]

Whats the diiiiiiiiiiiifference between this version and the one on "Shades?" My brother lost the second LP form this one of mine...idiot!

[blablabla9ish]

Check out Rant....If you havent heard it yet....Ian going back to his roots....Great stuff.

[blablabla9ish]

If you own this album(first of all your Damn lucky) But what an amazin lineup!!!!! Sorry,Thats the understatement of the century!!!F&ckin Sick Lineup!!!!! Sanborn Is Probably the"least" known on this one ......is that ridiculous or what???

[MrMotthead69]

Ian Hunter is NOT under-rated as quite simply he is one of, if not the best, songwriter in the history of R&R imho :)....

[ytpoliticsnigga]

@MrMotthead69 I would agree, he's not under-rated cos everyone that knows his stuff rates him number 1!

[Farot2001]

Thankyouthankyouthankyou...Wha­t a beautiful work.



[ras52]

Just discovered this - and Jaco Pastorius on bass too!

[CheckinGagaiNagain]

Whatever happened to dignity

Whatever happened to integrity

Whatever happened to honesty

Oh, I'd rather search for me

Oh, I'd rather search for me

Oh, I'd rather search for me

Oh, I'd rather search for me

[syretta2]

Damn Freddie sure did get around! Great song, haven't listened much to Ian Hunter before this. I'm glad I finally made the acquaintance.

[PhiZappaCrappa]

The very best of 'white boy blues'!

[antsdick]

Is that Bowie on sax. Sounds very much like him. Ants

[iriquirii]

@antsdick if iam not mistaken, i think it was David Sanborne!

[DayleKT]

@antsdick Im pretty sure that this is an alto sax, and i think bowie played tenor. Thats not to say he couldn't play alto too though

[shinotora1X]

In fact, this mob were so good that on their 70's UK tour Queen were the supporting act!

[shinotora1X]

True man, Ian's the most underrated singer/songwriter the UK's ever had.

[time903]

This song ROCKS!

[robertov7]

Who plays the piano? It doesn't sound like Freddie...

[61islander61]

@robertov7

It's Chris Stainton on piano.

[composer369]

@robertov7 It is Ian himself...

[BlazeInRhye]

Ah! Just bought this on vinyl! Roger is credited as "Roger Meadows Taylor"

[shortandstylish]

I have never heard this before ... very cool xx

How about Letter to Britannia From Union Jack.

Great piece.

[imputanium]

i love this fucking song

[MCGEOTIS]

Great stuff. Been a long, long time without hearing this one. Thanks Dave, Could you put up the title track too?

[queenredspecial]

This song simply kills me every fucking time. Thank you.

On a different note -- Ian Hunter played tonight, here in NYC. I am SO sad I didn't go...

[walkierocksu]

Dave,you're unbelievable man..been looking out for this for so long on u tube..was on the verge of dragging the old vinyl out of a dusty old suitcase..molto respecto soul brother.

[fatley]

why is Ian Hunter so underated?

[composer369]

@fatley He is many times quite self-deprecating and never really goes into his personal feelings much. "You Nearly Did Me In" still makes my eyes wet with tears...

[sk992085]

@fatley I love Ian Hunter's song but his voice
