Stax Volt Tour of Norway 1967 - PART 1 OF 6

[steelo74]

One of the greatest concerts of all time!

[2maxxjazz]

I could watch this every day !! 30/11/2011 Merry Christmas **

[MarkStarKaraoke]

A most exhilarating & thrilling era of music! Amazing! I love seeing the mix of players too!

[reissue]

Stars, all of them. Bright...

[johnbharris]

It's so good it gives me the shivers. WOW!

[SuperSoultwister]

there is no comparison stax and motown are the best .

[hurting]

Hey, the Norwegians actually knew how to clap on 2 and 4 by 1967! They really are more progressive than Americans!

[timboexit17]

Mod was never about northern: I love northern but I also respect motown (proper mod stuff) and Stax/atlantic soul (later mod stuff)

[DSilius]

iburl it was england who welcomed northern soul with open arms as they say, the USA though it was rubbish!

[splaticon5]

Did they play "green onions" two times that night? There seems to be two different versions from the same show floating around

[Kveiteknut]

If you like Motown but disslike Northern Soul, then you obviously have no clue what Northern Soul is

[iburl]

I had to look up "Northern Soul" on wiki... seriously?

Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, James Brown...

Soul doesn't need England.

[IdleAl]

Jackson, Cropper & the Duck....best backing band ever.

[zappr5]

Thank you for uploading this treasure!

[bazmitch]

Great to see so much of the Duckster.

[zazfilm]

you have to be from the USA to make this music and in particular the southern USA - anything else is just imitation, which is flattering enough, but still just imitation. yet another reason why i love this country

[SeniorMojo]

man this gig is just stunning every time i see it...got it with the stax doc

for a raw 60s soul stomp party...check out the Vinyl Uploads in my Channel

have fun

[diploash]

Imagine what it must have been like for the crowd! It must have felt like a spaceship had arrived and brought amazing music and talented people from another world. Most had never seen a black person let alone heard any soul records on the radio,TV etc. incredible!

[ichheiref]

als musik noch musik war...

[tony671]

that bass is just fucking spot on and the rest of the band are stunning with otis singing no one can come near them live!! you can keep modern music youngsters

[1977dinosaur]

Oh for a time machine - makes (most) modern music look even shitter than usual

[BellaOxmix]

Aint no sound like the sound of the south

[filmnoir67]

I have never realize to the full extent, up until now, how much Motown was catered only to a white Audience! Plus it did not managed to achieve what Stax Record had done, in a time when America music was still segregated, which intergrade both Black and White Performers and this all took place in the South.

[ramrodrab]

@filmnoir67 You meen this white audience, not many black folks in norway especially in 1967.....

[filmnoir67]

@ramrodrab I mean Stax in General as a record company for what they stood for from the beginning and that is purely the unity of all "Souls"!

[Markpws]

Is this video available on DVD? Every self-respecting homeowner should have one.

[manchesterbeat]

Agreed drumcollogher.

Northern Soul was wimpy, mushy and devoid of soul.

[tickyreal]

wow... in 6 parts..thanks..

Erik Tielman, Florida

[gerretl]

Booker T, The Duck and The Colonel.

This is heaven.

[nikshmenga]

Al Jackson-what a great drummer!

[TUBEMAN192]

that sound on Steve's tele is ripping!

[cpasgentil]

Thank you Johndehaura.

From Morocco

[andross61]

3:41 - 3:52 is the best drumming known to man.

[jeff81659]

Now this is Music!!

[modejazz]

[Quickmood]

[MrChrisayre]

[MrChrisayre]

[AstralPlane1951]

Donald Duck Dunn is laying down the bass

[nikshmenga]

Al Jackson-the greatest drummer!

[ojfinden]

whats the first song called? awesome video btw :D

[rickvanvuurenM3]

the song is called green onions by Booker T and The MG's

[kalolawaihene]

Green Onions

[jauntin]

STAX rules! Motown for pussies

[tony671]

TIGHT

THE BEST

[Scagtones67]

Fantastic footage!

[drumcollogher]

I ve been a mod since 1978 am I sick to death of hearing about Northern Soul being the best. It was always Stax and Motown for me. This is the best. Watch all six.

[Chopin389]

What is northern soul? I've never heard of it. Nothing can be better than Stax and Motown. Except the 80's had some great music too. :0)

[innamorata64]

When Motown was just starting up they sent reps down to Willie Mitchell's studio (Hi Records,Al Green and many others) ) in Memphis to try to find out how he got his "sound" because they wanted to duplicate it. They never managed to quite get it down, Atlantic Records sent Wilson Pickett to record at Stax in Memphis because they wanted that "sound" and they couldn't get it in their studio.

[tony671]

@drumcollogher same here mate never liked northen soul (1 or 2 tracks) love stax and motown still a mod too at 47 and otis will always be the KING

[bloodnokian]

@drumcollogher I'm a mod too (since 1980) and it was all about the Stax and Motown for me as well, and The Who, the Jam, The Small Faces and The Beatles. There's only a couple of Northern Soul songs I really like.

[sparkicus]

@drumcollogher (Well, Motown is Northern, technically) but it's all so terriffic. Stax is #1 soul heaven. But don't forget TSOP - The Sound of Philadelphia - Gamble & Huff! Philly Soul is wonderful, too! Philadelphia All Stars & Lou Rawls!

[tony671]

@drumcollogher right on bro went to a northen soul -mod night and like yourself been a mod since i bought all mod cons. and northen soul was mostly 70s songs i had never heard before!! stax and motown is my thing asked the dj to put on an otis redding song "no m8 northen soul only " wtf otis is a fuckin soul legend and at a "mod" night he never had any otis or motown i think with the northen soul crowd its how rare the vinyl is.

[zorenofzennor]

@tony671

I agree Tony Otis rules ...dont forget Otis 70th birthday september 9th ( only a couple of weeks away ) your right about some of the NS ...a few weeks ago I saw a single being sold on ebay and the price was over 1600 dollars and rising ...so I listened to it thinking "shit this must be one I missed ..I couldnt get my head into it so i listened to it again and still couldnt figure out why anyone would even want to play it ....

[riles47]

I can't say enough good things about this, it's just FANTASTIC!!! Do Ya Like Good Music? Find the DVD and BUY it, I did! You won't be disappointed. I would NEVER have known about it, but for You Tube. Anyone who's thinking of banning their stuff from You Tube listening?

[georgewilde]

you gotta love youtube haven't you? Go on, find an hour in your life to watch all six

[joefromstafford]

Saw the tour in Birmingham, it was an experience of a lifetime!

[djklasen]

The DVD is available at Amazon, Stax/Volt Revue Live In Norway 1967.

The footage is made by the Norwegian Broadcasting Company and the girl in the crowd with the black hood on was later to become Minister of Culture in Norway.

[creeker275]

agreed!!!! we missed ALL the good stuff- i was born in 84-

[beebandloz]

Agreed to. I'm only 17 and I wish we had music like this nowdays. The stuff they produce now isn't a PATCH on this.

[rfkvam]

Born way too late . it would have been grate to se the stax tour of norway

[mrwrestling7]

My friend burned me a DVD of this show about 2 years ago and until now I had no idea it was from a tour of Norway. The Mar Keys also performed "Last Night" on the version I have. Do you have that performance as well?

[prrbill]

My family had the first jazz record shop in Philly so naturally R&B was hand in glove. And it was my pleasure to see as many of the jazz/R&B concerts as I wanted to as a teenager in the '60s as concert tickets were all sold through stores - no Ticketmaster. We knew what we were getting with James & Motown.

But it was the Stax-Volt performers who usually stole the shows. Why else would Atlantic Records, which had some really decent R&B artists, go such lengths to distribute Stax-Volt?

[waffen2]

best rythem section, best pocket player of all time. nobody comes close

[CubsRule06]

Eh Rocco Prestia is much better. Don't get me wrong, Duck Dunn is one hell of a player...

[bdabus]

I wonder if those Hot Norwegian chicks in the front row are still alive?! I'd do 'em Now..

[pedog]

hahahahhh...Hilarious.

Maybe one of them is your grandma:)

[thekidshelleen]

i think hot norwegian chicks are still being produced by the country of Norway in sufficient abundance that u dont have to dig out these nanas

[bdabus]

Oh no, i want those one's! ; }

[bdabus]

-Sooo Dope!

[Daimdeux]

Dunn's feeling it

[sparkicus]

@Daimdeux Always. =)

[chylogurti]

Brilliant posting. BT is so tight. Gonna watch them all.....all night long. Thanks. You got soul, john.

[rawkus1167]

Steve Cropper is a GOD.

[Markpws]

simply the best. The first soul track I ever heard, and it still cuts the mustard. Can you buy this performance on DVD?

[INSULTEVERY1]

I wonder what the people in the audience think now, that they witnessed history.

[hippie91069]

booker T playing this summer with drive by truckers !!!

[wildbilltexas]

Tightest band in history!

[VeldigdeiligfraNorge]

god jul

[VeldigdeiligfraNorge]
