muito bom ,\../

[VictorPHYSICX]

what is the name of the remix of the song "The Mexican - Thalia"?

[danksdaone]

this song kicked ass in the bronx

[dharmaseed]

I love how Alan realizes the camera is on him and steps out of the way, and the camera zooms in on Dave.

[frncheez]

I don't like the tempo...loses the song's "heavy-set"

[lizrdski]

Was she jewish ?

[silo3849]

one of the great'est b-boy \ club songs in N.Y.C. ever !!!!. but of course ....it was played allot slower.

[Mannchild11]

This performance really knocks you upside the head. Whoa. Spastic.

[MrFreedomrequired]

it is time for Women to wake up.......Your men are here!

[andre50161]

é massa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[freneew]

Dave Hewitt now pretends to remodel kitchens in Atlanta, taking money from customers for work he never intends to complete. He's a thief with outstanding warrants. Sad but true.

[sofosethnik]

Live....all the money.....!

[JustLikeMusik]

The Ennio Morricone part is really great on that rock style !!

[Zakk76Wylde]

The guitarist is named Alan Shacklock and he is my teacher in school. I go to SAE in Nashville. It's an audio technology school. He is an awesome guy.

[bonnaroojoo]

@Zakk76Wylde I was in 0908FT, when did you go to SAE?

[Zakk76Wylde]

@bonnaroojoo I'm 0411FT. You've been out awhile longer than me. Lol

[cursedlemon]

@bonnaroojoo 0908, eh? Which class? 

[Fam4ever127]

I never heard this version! Nonetheless the dopest by light years! I am totally amazed by the level of excitement by the whole band!

[logicg]

@Fam4ever127 the power of cocaine my friend!!! lol

[scorpions43]

[GreeN13666]

щ-щика-а-а-а-а-а-арно)))

[stockliskirep]

Great Band glad I saw them in Chicago way back when! What a great live act !

[Syntox]

Sweet mother of rock, why does the album version of this track NOT rock like this?

[rexboogie]

kinda fast is it not?

[Ghoopty]

If I was in a band with her, I'd have a hard time concentrating on the music....

[TheYugo80]

I like...........!

[dekap1020]

this is fuckin sick, so much energy

[silencerro]

i love your name alfredopetardo!

[RodneyCordeiro]

'Per Qualche Dollaro In Più', Enio Morricone's OST. A movie from the 70's with Clint Eastwood

[mrgalaxyman57]

sergio leoni

[unoantares]

has nobody out there recognised who he is covering during the guitar solo?

[wrathstorm1453]

@unoantares ya its titoli of ennio moricone!

[bonnaroojoo]

@unoantares I'm pretty sure whatever you're thinking of , they covered him. I highly doubt that this song would become the national B-Boy anthem if he were covering someone else. much more likely to be the other way around.

[hector69ize]

Timeless intro, exellent guitar playing. And that my friends were the rocking 70's for the younger generations to discover. Be Amazed.

[Rafaelo700]

Que canción. Buen video. Gracias por subirlo

[flipone01]

@ 4:24, That was the sound of my brain exploding from the pure awsomeness of this song!!!

[BadMotorFinger92]

[Marklewisdes]

@BadMotorFinger92 I think i went and it was @ Place Des Arts..so long ago..think it was 75 though..

[4504771118]

I was there a this show my god long time ago

[jjaywill]

Doe's anyone else think the Mars Volta sounds like this?

[tiltmodeca85]

@jjaywill yes yes yes!!! wow the song darker than blue sounds like cicatriz

[IHaveDimensia]

@jjaywill Totally dude! I was thinking the same thing!

[Syntox]

@jjaywill - they WISH they did. No offense.

[jjaywill]

@Syntox Why would I find that offensive?

thank you for being the only other polite person

on youtube

[PIRTEKM3]

@jjaywill Dude you're right. Good ear. I do hear a little bit of mars volta.

[MultiJonathan8]

how u find this song ? rasist ? ahh and i like it more the power metal version than this :D HELLOWEEN HEEEEEEEELL

[MultiJonathan8]

how u find this song ? rasist ?

[ceecoursian]

This song is the start of Hip Hop believe it or not

[danksdaone]

@ceecoursian Not the start.. It was used in the parks.. dj's used this as one of their beats..

[ceecoursian]

@danksdaone Right ,and it was worked in to the Song Planet Rock. So the beats were early hip hop.

[cHEPItOViD]

the best, 

[papitwinki]

Great ! Never stopped listening to thois, just realized that this guitar live sound pretty much like that of Tommy Iommi with Black Sabbath.

[donnaaustin]

bravo bravo

[taebuddy123]

I got pumped up

[luthien1971]

this is fucking awesome !! Very talented guys indeed !

It´s indeed a pity there are no bands like this anymore.

[tiltmodeca85]

@luthien1971 listen to the mars volta

[tiltmodeca85]

@luthien1971 or coheed and cambria

[Borvus1]

Hi redmunkee.

Try watching the latest version of the Mexican from the Babe Ruth Band 35th year reunion gigs in Ottawa and Mt Tremblant on youtube. I think you'll find it's back to funky.

[redmunkee]

Three people must be Justin Bieber or Kesha fans.

[redmunkee]

It's funny how the studio version has a more funk influenced, beat music feel to it, yet some could argue that this performance is one of the early manifestations of heavy metal.

[rhizmoe]

@redmunkee to be sure, the term "heavy metal" was coined in 1970.

[tweedmonster]

Wow! Classic. Every time you come back and listen to it it still sounds amazing and live it's even better than the studio version. The bass and the drums man! No, no, everything man. It's mindblowing.

[listenheredc]

oh my god. she's awesome.

[shua559]

this guy is doing massive arppeigo scales.he difently has a classical background!new music now these days suck balls!

[erickondio]

Check out Helloween's version

[Vincere]

This is so freaking amazing. I wish I could have seen these guys live in the heyday. But Damn Janita is FIERCE!! Seriously, this is better than a dozen bands on the charts now.

[darrenable1]

Make room Janis Joplin for Janita Jenny Haan and Babe Ruth, come on Radio Stations USA, Jenny is waiting. Love her!

[vracan]

Just saw these guys couple weeks ago in mt-tremblant(montreal 2010) and must say they look sooo different from what you see here (yes they aged like the rest of us), but I also have to say they played and sounded even better than this video! Way to go Babe Ruth!!!!!

[bloots23]

genius

[fpsacha]

the show at montreal was really good , alan even signed my guitar pick !!!

[powderdd]

How did they get so slept on? So so good!

[MadcapLaugh3]

I believe Jenny told us while at the autograph booth that the Montreal show may be filmed!! If this is true, HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!

[malawri67]

@MadcapLaugh3

Show was indeed filmed but they had a few technical problems with equipment.Alan's amp went out during King Kong and Dave's bass was accidentally unplugged a few times too.They went thru The Mexican twice cause they werent satisfied with the first run...

[MadcapLaugh3]

Saw the band tonight in Ottawa - first stop on the reunion tour! go see them, they rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fpsacha]

hmm only 24 hours to wait to see them in MONTREAL !!!

[Jonablo29]

Wow, I'll go see them tomorrow at Metropolis as well(Montreal, Canada). I'm only 30 but I love great 70s music!!

[jerryr61]

I'll be seeing them in two days. I still have my vinyl press of "First Base" from the 70's. Always loved them.

[selenio999]

EXCELENT VID AND EXCELENT SONGT

[420soy]

Yes my ticket for the show is here, and I will be there!!!

[zfloid44]

Oh yes, my favourite Babe Ruth song , as a live version! A great companion band is Pavlov's Dog. yeah

[Motivand0LaYal]

fuck lemme do a cartwheel land on one hand n spin on my head!

[darrenable1]

Janita Jenny Haan, Greatest by Far, Made Babe Ruth what they were, Jam Band, and Very Hot Janita Jenny Haan. Rock On Babe Ruth.

[INDIANA383]

[420soy]

Where in Montréal in 2010???

[SsmAnyfeSt]

@420soy Metropolis! Ticketpro dot ca for tickets :P

[dharmaseed]

It's too cool how Alan Shacklock realizes the camera is next to him, and steps back so the camera can zoom in on Dave Hewitt, especially in the middle of a solo.

[Mesaman44]

I love you Jenny,,I WANT YOU !!!!

[22jan51]

A RARITY- EXCELLENT MATERIAL

[izuki4chan]

Babe Ruth will play Montreal again in summer 2010!!

[joclouti]

Babe Ruth will be playing in Montreal again at the Metropolis July 10th, 2010!

[ziomany]

@joclouti awesome.

[anitchintime]

I used to see them at a Pub called the Winning post in Twickenham.

I knew they were good but I did'nt realise that they were this good.

Was the guitar player Bernie Marsden ?

[dharmaseed]

@anitchintime It's Alan Shacklock here, Bernie joined shortly after, replacing him.

[fabiobeatle]

[DeuMeutiN]

[Iam1HipHopEducator]

[dharmaseed]

Jesus people, I meant the metal link with the cover of this song was not my cuppa tea!! I wouldn't be here if I didn't like this song!! As for the bass, he's in the groove with the drums.

[MajorAddiction]

i like how she leaves

[LinkBulletBill]

the bass is without effort, come on, there could more effort in the bass...

But this compared to Egyptian Danza from Al Di Meola, Egyptian Danza FTW!!!

[swiffstep]

@LinkBulletBill LOL the bass is one of the best things about this song actually. it doesnt need effects.

[kell7wlt]

An iconic Western tune made funky!!! Oh yeah lookin sexy in 74

[dzekimajstor]

ovako mi vec godinu dana zvoni mobilni!:) toliko je dobra stvar!

[bboyfist]

tako i treba :)

[Khultan]

Rocking!!

[kidjuggernaut]

sounds better in the studio offbeat when played liveed

[archiepelos]

gotta listen to Helloween's cover,, if you enjoy heavy metal.

[Mettylus]

can you give me the link? METAL! \m/

[thewildace]

this is talent!! WTF is up with new music? Burn it ALL!!!

[efsq]

????

[harlene789]

@thewildace you suck donky balls, and you don't know how ahead of its time this song really was you old ass geez of music!!!!

[ttmproductions666]

i know right...... it sucks!!!!!!!!

[hudsondave]

The concert was in Montreal. I know, I was there. The cameras were annoying..

[FIFTY2WEEKS]

lucky you!!!....I mean being there, not the cameras

[dharmaseed]

Say, is that Alan Shaclock or Bernie Marsden on guitar?

[amerocker]

Alan Shacklock, guitar; Jenny Haan, vocals; Dave Hewitt, bass; Ed Spevock, drums; Dave Punshon, piano. I saw Alan Shacklock play keyboards live in 1985 with Roger Daltrey, at Boston's Orpheum Theater.

[dharmaseed]

It's hard to tell from the back, but that keyboard player looks more like Steve Gurl.

[amerocker]

When was this video really recorded? Some say 1974, some say 1975. Yes, it may be Gurl, but it depends on which website I look at for info; Keyboards; Punshon, 1971-1973 (?) Chris Holmes, 1973-1974, then Steve Gurl, 1974-1976 (?). Dates do not coincide on various sites...

[bostonbrat2]

This concert was likely in '75, and Steve Gurl would've been the keyboardist.

[karlmoles65]

Shacklock

[Khultan]

What happened to her and the band?!? She's fantastic!

[lightisthenewdark]

That guitar is HOT SHIT! Magic  just doesn't happen like this anymore. Thanks for posting this gem.

A chico gotta have his share.

Indeed.

[rusoo1600]

O,M,G amazinggg xddddddddd,

[Syntox]

God, I will NEVER stop loving this fucking song. And the thing is, this live version is SO superior to the one on the record.

[jeditwinz]

Amen to that. I have the song on my MP3 but I still have to come back and listen to this one every week.

[mrpimp85]

fuck'n nice..........

[shua559]

WICKED!!

[djleocasagrande]

Someone had seen the tim healey remix for this music???

The best song that i heard in my life!!!!!

[gmcaq]

[Linedog11c]

I wonder if they realize what an impact that song made in Brooklyn?

[remindbender]

and finally the third dutch masterpiece of seventies shiTT

[dharmaseed]

Sorry, man, but Babe Ruth was British. :)

[remindbender]

[kisslord007]

[Syntox]

Yeah, she is on two hits of AWESOME.

[dharmaseed]

Killer rhythm section...bass players and drummers could learn a lot by watching Ed and Dave. :)

[dxggfggfs]

ed spevock??

hes my teacher

[dharmaseed]

That's the guy playing drums! Dave Hewitt is on bass guitar. What does he teach?

[safire4real]

shes dope
