Saw her for the first time in a small club in Boulder late 1973, early 1974, can't remember which. I'd liked her first two albums but really hadn't paid much attention to her. She knocked me out of my seat that night, what a talent!
My wife introduced me to Bonnie's music back in the 70's. Great that I can revisit it now after all these years. I can appreciate it even more now. What an amazing sound. Thanks.
Bonnie is such and angel. We're so lucky to be able to luxuriate in her tremendous talent and beauty. Look at the mop on the guy behind her! :-D Fantastic video and version of this gorgeous tune!!!
Sorry - I didn't have time to search this entire thread but WHO IS THAT ON GUITAR ? That solo was very classic rock and "radio-ready" like most others of it's time. Was it Danny Kortchmar ? That was one guy who was born to play guitar hooks for most of popular culture (me included !)

Bonnie looks so beautiful in this video. And I love her voice. I grew up on her along with a lot of other great musicians. Thanks mom and dad. I worry about todays youth with the crap their parents often listen too. Kids in the future will be saying things like, " I grew up on the Insane Clown Posse." I feel bad for them.
Oh Bonnie! One of the most emotionally powerful songs and voices. Heard her sing this song several times when "Little Feat" was her backup band. Freebo, Lowell George, Billy Payne. Simply does not get better than this
I've the "Give It Up" CD, which this Joel Zoss comp came out in '72. On the recording, Bonnie used a 12-string guitar for what I'd say would be the only time. It also has a beautiful cello lick courtesy of Gene Stactchuk, and Eric Kaz doing a beautiful piano piece.
I believe the man with the white Strat is John Hall. He produced her Taking My Time album, and was a member of the band Orleans who had some hits in the 70's including Still the One. He is now a member of House representing NY state.
She is such an amazing talent and underrated in the popular media, which is perhaps a good thing. She is a music lovers musician, I love her voice and her style and musicianship; a wonderful guitarist
@leithp My Dad and I burned through two copies of her first vinyl the year it came out. Lived right behind original Tower Recs on Sunset. Saw her face, recognized it from somewhere inside, then saw a picture of my dad's mom young and eyes bugged out. THen he pointed out how much I looked like her too, (before the redhair)
Anyone still searching for great new music in a similar vein should check Freebo (bonnies bassplayer who you cans ee in the background) recent albums, just great folk music and he does amazingly intimate live shows around the country all the time. Check his website freebomusic
First time I saw Bonnie was at Moody Colosseum at Southern Methodist University in the 70's, about 1974-75. It was an all day into the night with many other musicians, Jackson Browne, Asleep at the wheel, Willie Nelson to name a few. I sat on the floor right in front of the stage. I did not want to leave, it was a beautiful time to be in back then.
@saleens7austin At the BBC Theatre in Shepherds Bush, West London, recorded for TV show The Old Grey Whistle Test. Saw her again on the same tour at The New Victoria Theatre, which I thought was a better show overall.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's so interesting seeing all these different stages of her progression all in one place. I've been trying to figure out why she didn't get any commercial traction until 1989, with all the Grammy's and Nick of Time going very huge. If you look at the later stuff, like her Love Me Like a Man--she is so much more fun to watch--here she has that pious "change the world' heaviness. Later she's just having fun, and passing it on to other people. Liberal piety and music don't mix well IMHO.
Interesting comment, although I believe she was more concerned with gravitas than piety at that age. She well understood where her life would take her, and capitalized. Few great things happen overnight. Hats off to Bonnie!
Well I am using piety in a non-literal way, and if you prefer gravitas, I would be happy to substitute it. Let me just put it like this; she gets to be a lot more fun, more entertaining, when she stops taking herself so seriously. The Sippie Wallace finally triumphed over the Joan Baez in her ;-)
Meh. It didn't take him too long to become a caricature of himself. I think that's one of the big challenges for recording artists--sometimes the perception that they must always be "evolving" takes them away from what they're best at. To me, Joni Mitchell is also in that group. As she got more arteestic she got less and less fun to listen too. Bonnie Raitt never lost sight of the fact that recording artists are primarily entertainers.
The album "Give it up" soothed the wild beast in me as a teenager and helped me find peace. thanks Bonnie 1. Give It Up Or Let Me Go 2. Nothing Seems To Matter 3. I Know 4. If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody 5. Love Me Like A Man 6. Too Long At The Fair 7. Under The Falling Sky 8. You Got To Know How 9. You Told Me Baby 10. Love Has No Pride
I was a teenage girl who sang and seriously played guitar at the time - had few role models, but Bonnie was one of them. I loved the quality of her voice back then. Saw her in NYC about this time, she was awesome.
Heard Bonnie sing this many many times. Such an amazing song. Yes, this is a young Bonnie. She is like good wine though. Has just gotten better with age.
In February I saw him open up for Paul Barerre and Fred Hackett of Little Feat at a charity event in a bar in Malibu. There were maybe like 50 people there. He sat in on a couple of Feat songs, one of which was Down On The Farm and the three of them just wailed.
Thanks Uncle Dave, but I am a beginner so my ear isn't that good yet. I have searched all of the sites I know of, to no avail. I'll figure it out, just thought someone might have the chords.
From the very good album "Give It Up", 1972 release I believe,-Saw Miss Raitt at "Shaboo", a kinda roadhouse near Univ. of Conn. around that time-you remember those venues-freedom to wander around, light one up; sweat, beer and whisky flowed...Miss Raitt,-great.
The Shaboo! Awsume. what a place-a place where the 'stage' was a foot high and you could ,indeed,light one up the mic smelled like beer and you got Home when the sun was rising. THIS is Bonnie before she was 'Bonnie Raitt' Trivia question- Who was 'Boz'?
Does anyone know where I could find chords/tabs for this song? It's pretty hard to find tabs for some of Bonnie's old songs ... any help would be appreciated. Thanks
First heard her in a head shop in Brattleboro, Vt,June 1970, home from Nam, couldn't believe the change in music. Enchanting, bought the album immediately,taped it on my Akai 8 track, drove the back roads listening till it wore out.
I wouldn't bother with "Give It Up" which is currently going for in excess of £20 on Amazon. I would look at "Old Grey Whistle Test" DVD which actually includes the version above. Check it out.
yes she did. Don't remember the anme of the album, however I remember owning it and listening to it incessantly. God, how important this woman was in my formation as well as Athens, Georgia!

One of my favortie Bonnie songs. I've been a fan since 1975 and I am glad to see the rest of the world has caught on to her music.

I wouldn't bother with "Give It Up" which is currently going for in excess of £20 on Amazon. I would look at "Old Grey Whistle Test" DVD which actually includes the version above. Check it out.

yes she did. Don't remember the anme of the album, however I remember owning it and listening to it incessantly. God, how important this woman was in my formation as well as Athens, Georgia!
