DAMN I MISS THE 70's soooooo bad!

[MrAbraham1621]

Back in the days of being in Fermany station in Schweinfurt Germany with the third and seventh calvary GARRY OWENS ! Every one on base I believe had this album and played it continously with the big speakers setting in their barrack windows. It seem to be the most cherish song. .Course it was played more on weekends then the days.

[MrSanjavierino]

@steevestuff This is the good stuff of the late 60s Thank you

[wleoradio]

That is one of the finest turntables ever made and dammit I can't remember what it's called but I recognize the style!

[moradossssssss]

REMEMBER FRANCIS G SPINNING THIS SONG AT SANCTUARY [N.Y.C.] 1972 after 2 A.M.

[mrknow74]

Back in the days of the freestyle or breaking as it was known NYC

[zeroclan007]

[COPYMYSTYLE1]

[terence19]

Marly Mal sample this joint "Another Victory "lyrics by BDK, opening of the tracks with those drop hita and the lead sets it off

[MR666SANDMAN]

PURE FUNK!

[ssballs]

Spacey turntable.Booker T & the MG's, woot!

[mrichez10]

the best of Booker T.

[caroledperez]

I used to have this record....

Wow, I'm old..

[TheHeho]

Love this song, but i hate your upload ! Don't you hear the false reverb due to your "live" recording , and the too much mid compared to the original mix ???

[tsangari]

That's a serious record player! Sounds very CD-like! Unless the record is in pristine condition, this sounds heavyweight!!

[TheKustomized]

I wanted more songs of booker T en the MG-s

and thanks to you I can finally listen to real music

not justin bieber or miley cyrus

GREAT THANKS!! :P

[ddbollag]

awesome

[knuckleknutz]

Sounds great

[jedipapaw]

What was holding that wood block together? Love this jam. Love to hear everything that led up to it....

[countrad]

a big hand please for Mr. Donald DUCK Dunn

!

[antiann52]

This was and still is a bad ass jam--here and now. Work it, boys!

[skillygilly101]

Damnit wit all dat equipment and U record this thru a CAM MIC?? Datz bad.. Thabks anywayz.

[poohen223]

@skillygilly101 Agreed>>>at least mix your ambient mic sound with a line feed from the amp...be nice to hear those hits with some less reverb.

[devil76p]

he went  off to smoke some cones and relax to the music

[noahf67]

Hearing a current day live rendition by these fellows with Anton Fig on drums is no less than roof-blowing. A room full of loud anxious, boisterous concertgoers were

rendered silent, focused. It was like being at a transcendental meditation.

[FanArt78]

3 thumbs up :)

[JAA2090]

My goodness all those park jam where they played this song,memories of a carefree youth.Great song,and great times.Peace.

[andan04]

"Green Onions" may have been their big hit, but "Melting Pot" was, in my estimation, Booker T. & the MG's' masterpiece. They were hitting on all cylinders here.

[mophead684]

i used to have the pulp fusion series on cd until someone nicked em, the first track on one of them was amazing, it was dead funky, real clean production, and a real clean rock guitar solo, any idea what i'm on about? its been ten years since i've heard it, would love to find out what it was!

[ddmaynard7519]

Refreshing

[mahjafee]

they don't make good music like this anymore!!!!

[svbummin]

classic!!! doesnt get better

[rockchik409]

Is that a ripper bass in the background?

[hsesofthehly73]

o yea, groooovyyyyy

[salsera59]

This is a vicious jam,especially back in the 70's when we were into hustle dancing and breaking. It reminds me of the "Salsa Discotech on Mrytle Ave. & Broadway in Bklyn,NY. Do any of you remember ,"Evergreen" also by Booker T ?!,let me know if you do. I have the Evergreen album,but cannot produce it on here for lack of the right equipment.

[sixtiesforever1966]

@salsera59 Yeah the good old days. Yes I have all of their albums brand new un' wrapped. Bought them at a estate sale with some wonderful music.... Where is that time machine? Ah! YouTube....

[salsera59]

@sixtiesforever1966 Hey,"Our memories are the time machine,sweetheart. And the generous people whom lend tribute to the past by posting these songs on youtube,such as yourself...Thank you. Sixties forever indeed! "Did someone just say,"Babyboomers?! ;)

[Kharn8181]

@salsera59 Can you tell me where i can download some albums from this band.

I discover it somes years ago and i dont know it got something i cant express

I apologies for my bad english

Greetings from another place in the earth

[gigiglossy]

Yea back in the 80's we would Up Rock to this......

[jmitchB3]

DIRTY! I love the simultaneous vibrato and tremolo sound! Bass/Drums really rocking it. All around good sound. I can imagine a bunch of people just dancing their asses off... movin' to the groovin'. :)

[lolspud]

CAN YOU DIG IT SUCKA?

[darganx]

Live on Stage...

[toodeadbroke]

Bless the "human timekeeper" on the drums. Al Jackson Jr.

[Renshen1957]

Al Jackson Jr, Rest in Peace

[antiann52]

@toodeadbroke Yeah, he was bad wasn't he! NO body does a drum roll like

Al, play on, son!!!!

[Vivelabretagnelibre]

fantastic album

[slugworth99]

AWE-SOME.

[TASHUN1980]

Now,this is music...I'm from Memphis,and there was so much talent back in those days. I wish I was from that era,the music of today is unexplainable.

[6irondriver]

Yep Memphis was the origin of all that good ole' stuff. My Dad was a DJ at WHBQ when I was a kid, got to listen to it all the time. This one of my favs.

[antiann52]

@6irondriver Who was your dad?

[NimBindi]

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

[jimmiearm]

steve cropper & al jackson,jr. rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

[grimgrimdeath666]

Green Onions is way better i think Booker T and MGs were better in the 60s then the 70s

[hajan59]

My first No. 1 after school hit !!! I played it almost every day AND I PLAYED IT LOUD !!!!!!

.....till my parents got crazy .THAT was my only opportunity to forget the shit around in 1971.

[astridsmile]

ADOROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Managuense1]

Simply awesome!!! I'm getting goose bumps!  Thanks for sharing!

[triode52]

Al Jackson was their drummer

[tiredlight]

excuse my ignorance :-), but who was the drummer?

[tiredlight]

ups, sorry. It seems to be Al Jackson of course :-)

Thanks for this vid.

That's music, that's hand made, that's groove and soul.

BTW: How long did you stay in position to make the DJ 'scatch'? :-) (just kidding).

[ziggomaticker]

@tiredlight

as my tv experience shows

just like david caruso did

you can see him(steevestuff) all the time

in the reflection of this one knob in the

front

look closely!

haha just kidding, i guess he was standing there all the time and groved to this awesome track!

[carlos002nz]

El sonido es excelente y el tema no lo conocía. Muchas gracias.

[goodtotheend1]

[goodtotheend1]

as always this is a great song to sit around and listen to and think about the goodtimes we've been blessed with. have a safe day to all.

[Localulu27]

great!!

[sternumagnum]

The best organ player ever, without a doubt, without a discussion, without so much as a word against it.

Booker T Jones.

If there ever was a COLOR better than what Mr Jones got out of the instrument it was by the gods on Olympus on a really good day.

[JOtter91]

is that a peavey grind bass in the background?

[eddiepopeye]

wow, i still have most of my records!!! you remember the Garage, Townhouse 48, buttermilk bottoms?

[dirtyedna]

LOFT / GALLERY in NYC back in the early 70's....a classic played in the underground(gay) forerunners of discos (look up Love Saves the Day/the birth of Disco)

[fleshnbone187]

BIG DADDY KANE - ANOTHER VICTORY!

Awesome song and sampled nicely.

[Fabian4785]

[goodtotheend1]

HI, FOOL, I'm still able to get out and party, have a goodtime and jamming listening to great music sober and don't do drugs. Songs like this brings out the very best in a person, easy listening too. Also I'm not DEAD, neither if thats what your meaning. Learn too appreciate good music and enjoy life, who needs sex when you have great music.

[Bloodfeasta]

CAN YOU LEND A NIGGA A PENCIL??

[aenne9]

i don't think the audio & video are sync'ed right. just sayin...

[headcase01]

Yeah, anyone can tell it's 4 grooves off to the inside.

[goodtotheend1]

this brings back lots of old memories good and bad , like the video, great listening music and dance. I been working out to this by dancing. I'm but not dead.

[goodtotheend1]

60 yrs old and I'm still getting it on. R. COTTEN E-4 USMC 1967-1971. GREAT SONGS

[NotSoUniversal]

what does this video have to do with you fucking....i assume that's what you mean by saying "getting it on"

[bigguy4570]

was that meant to be funny? because it is in poor taste,and no funny at all

[NotSoUniversal]

now i assume that you "getting it on" doesn't mean having sex.....generation gap

[bigguy4570]

Thank you for your service to this great country People like you are what make this country great as it it Thanks again.

[roryhunter77]

[scottbrenkert]

When I was 12 or 13, my dad bought me a stereo phonograph and the LP this was originally on, was on the model in the store. The salesman threw it in as part of the deal. I remember the yellow Stax label. Melting Pot started one side, Kinda Easy Like started the other - man, I listened to that album over and over!

[kell7wlt]

Nuff respect but with all that equiptment you couldnt do better than this quality audio?
