Blind Faith - Do What You Like

[McMahonGary]

That's Mick Jagger at 0:17; so fast it's really two stills and you have to stop and start it to see both.

[3picsandwich]

[3picsandwich]

I'm sorry, Baker's solo sounded kinda sloppy to me, lots of mishits. Anyone else hear this ?

[sebastiansap2003]

@bwdrums1 Baker's drum solo on the studio version of this track is one of the best i've ever heard.

[jfeRendersystems]

Gone are the days when groups had drummers that you would talk about in the pub with your mates. These days nobody even knows the drummers names

[gordon7443]

opening sounds like Jethro tull - living in the past?........same all the way through!

[cottageorgan]

Amazing!! Even better than the studio version, cleaner somehow. Ginger's drumming...the finest and as for Stevie, he was closer to God than Eric, ha ha...Eric's pure magic too. Beautiful Telecaster he's playing, unusual instrument for him..Thanks

[mikepa67]

how is Ginger Baker playing in those boots he's got on ?

[sebastiansap2003]

@mikepa67 I seen Ginger play in polo boots.

1969 London is an english city, not anymore in 2011 coz there are so many fucking refugees ,asylum seekers african,asian,every 3rd world nationa are in LOndon...and there are still more hungry benefits coming to LOndon ..

[difolk]

Winwood's voice.......I think I'm in heaven...

[maysun1984]

what a great band!! so much talent at such a young age. What band/music these days will last like this? wish I could have been there.

[miles55552001]

where is Eric Clapton?



[boscorhf]

it smells like happiness.

[SEANFIR]

This was recorded on a 4 track reel to reel, pretty advanced for the time and you can see the recording mics doubled up with the PA mics... and right before the drum solo you can hear the audio go to shit for a few, because they had to change a reel and only the camera audio was available for a few... love that minutia!

[StoneFredFlint]

YEAH!!!

[StoneFredFlint]

@Vortigern99 All such arguments are meaningless.  These are matters of taste. I mean, who gives a shit what Baker thinks of the Beatles or anything else? Dig his skins? Solid, pops! So do I!

[Vortigern99]

@StoneFredFlint Can't argue with that even if I wanted to! ;-)

[LOCKED121]

My favorite Blind Faith song. Steve Winwood is great and talented. There is so much good stuff on Youtube for him and Traffic.

[MrEmanuelw]

hahaha even the great blind faith had a bit a bit of trouble with 5/8.

in the beginning anyway. GREAT song~!!

[sebastiansap2003]

@Vortigern99 You're right about Ginger's ego,mind Ginger never considered himself a rock drummer, his love is jazz. He was tutored by the great Phil Seaman, and his influences are all the great black jazz men. His use of polyrhythms, and African rhythms is unmatched. Tony Allen Fela Kuti's Drummer said Ginger is the only white drummer who truely grasps African rhythms, put that with his natural groove, and jazz flourishes, and you have a great drummer.

[zappatx]

@Rickporgera He has a ranch in Colorado. ALso a Polo club.

[StoneFredFlint]

@zappatx Does he still play gigs?

[cathycastleton]

had the traffic album in the years of vinyl. so nice to hear it all again...nearly 40 years later...remember we couldnt see it then!!! scarey thought!!!

[gcstone1]

@cathycastleton i listened to this back in 1969 at school in Chicago. had it on LP,

tape, and now CD. haven't seen this tho.

[Rickporgera]

@Rickporgera Thanks for that Vortigern99....I might have to keep an eye out for the book. I'll just bet it's full of light hearted reading material that my 12YO can use to help guide her along on a fulfilling and substance-free lifestyle....or I can read it myself. Thanks again.

Cheers.

[anonymusum]

0:42 ouch - Winwood

[zappatx]

I like how Winwood knows how to take the lead in all cases... Strong lead player.

[MotorheadDrew]

lmao his solo sounds so immense

[MrRockinguitar]

Many Thanks !

[mindfreak990]

[sebastiansap2003]
