[speaker3600]

ea skate main menu muisc right here!

[dnkensinger]

Anybody know what kind of chords he's playing during the last "improv" part of the song, where he's running down the scale?

[dnkensinger]

@dnkensinger on the B3 that is

[thebones2012]

I was 1962 when I first heard this song in the bowling alley of Lovelock Nevada. From this point onward I wanted  Hammond B-3......I finally bought one in 1998 and remembered Booker T and his inspiration in my life.....this song catapulted me into my music career....Thanks Booker T and the MG's........

[chillagoekid]

Amazing song wish I had penned it!

[zer0frk]

jack black on the SG

[GiantDonutBirdie]

@saciji I Agree, but in this song only. They just messin around and stuff they are hardly playng at all. They go up and down a scale thats it.

[MaxPaws]

The bass player looks like he just stepped off the Grunge Rock bus!

[TheAlekos1999]

One of the guitarists looks like Jack Black plus a few pounds.

[Asterixarcher]

some background history of this song that should be noted and remembered is that segregation and racism were still a fact of life in the south. And yet through all of the struggles of the African American people great songs like this emerged!

[bubbaz88]

who are the other musicians

[Belinda204]

This is great music. Oldies like me really miss this kind of music. Just Clean good music. I still remember him when he was about 16 and I was 13. They performed at the Malco Theater in Memphis along with Carla and Rufus Thomas. It doesn't get any better than this.

@jbyai

I DID. Obviously, I'm not dead.

[robinsl27]

2 Justin bieber fans gave this 2 thumbs down

[Inkubzz]

@robinsl27 Why do you have to mention that boy's name everywhere, damn it!? And I'm pretty sure he'd bow down to this. Like we all do.

[robinsl27]

@Inkubzz its called a joke. i'm sorry you haven't heard one in awhile

[Inkubzz]

@robinsl27 It's not a joke anymore. It's disrespect towards these demigods.

[robinsl27]

@Inkubzz dude STFU! its not my fault your idols suck.

[Inkubzz]

@robinsl27 Booker T. Jones sucks? :O

[robinsl27]

@Inkubzz nah I was talking about your other idol Katy Perry

[Inkubzz]

@robinsl27 What? Am I being trolled? :(

[take3dublin]

Saciji; presume you are talking about guitarists. Absolute zero taste for this song

[PLAYOGAME]

Beautiful music! Loved it

[saciji]

2 idiots without taste or any sense of musicianship!

[ironwhater]

I wish i was there !

[tjplusproductions]

Thanks for putting this up! I'm such a sucker for B3.

[jamsesh1]

music isn't dead

[Zejex]

Jack Black?

[ironwhater]

@Zejex no ! he reminds me of him also :D

[RONzilber]

Isn't it realy simillar to stevie wonder's Higher Ground?

[marothhel]

..... this is the real music .....

[Jaskarsis]

amazing! where was this?! :D

[7trapkid]

You mean nobody knows the names of the other cats on stage with Booker T. ? Anyone out there want to help me out ? Where's some of these know-it-alls, huh ?

[Fent00zler]

@7trapkid The first lead guitarist is Marc "Kung Fu" Ford, ex-guitarist for the Black Crowes. Check him out, that cat sure can play !

Can't help you for the others, sorry...

[foxarasta]

i spy 2 fat jesus from the movie the hangover...

[xxxthoughtmayxxx]

Marvelous man, Booker T.

SG player is good.

[kokobest10]

This guitar player fucking sucks.

[DexterHaven49]

@kokobest10 That's vague, bozo. There are three guitar players on stage. Be specific and make some sense.

[DexterHaven49]

It took real musical talent to compose this. Great ear by Booker T!!!

[TheStatue1]

Priceless!

[discjockeyOk]

Masterpiece !!!

[Austropop01]

this is very good, greetings from austria

[az1421]

great job you guys

[tubellarbells]

Spectacular sound and version although I only see Booker T from original band. Thanks !

[OPatrao]

@tubellarbells it's not the mg's who are playin' with him

[tubellarbells]

@tubellarbells That's why I posted my comment. I believe the MGs are easy to identify and they are not on stage here. I wonder why ?. Maybe some sort of big festival with fusion of bands ?.

[Belinda204]

@tubellarbells They played together a long time ago. It could be that some of them are dead by now. Booker T was only 16 when he recorded Green Onions. The other guys in the band were much older than he was. He's an old man of about 69 now. that would make those other guys in their 70's

[bebopnjazz]

@tubellarbells maybe that's why it only says "Booker T" in the Title???

[jbyai]

If you make it through this without closing your eyes, you are dead !

[freakydeaky210]

@jbyai challange accepted

[mts2457]

@jbyai I don't get it..

Wouldn't that be the same for any living person during a five minute interval?

[jbyai]

Yeah !!!

[lordritchie]

Where is Cropper and Dunn?

[zwani]

Thanx for this vid, it's great

[red777photo]

Nice!!!

[vlayco33]

Hey, is there someone from original group.

I meant, they should be older.

Organ player (maybe)

[SavantSvant]

@vlayco33 Only organ player (Booker T), none of the MGs.

[Raindropser1]
