[thundermaster41]

PWP-- If it was so cold why is the lead singer sweating? Diabetes???I'm not saying that really wasn't you on guitar,your story sounds believable, but when I saw him sweating it kind of made me think... ya know? Anyways your a good group, sounded well,why did you guys eventually spit?

[frankieruiz88]

@CigaretteTL, tienes razón las dos son muy buenas :)

[pachouly1956]

One of the most over looked talent of the 70s,the lead singer went on to do some thing you might know He wrote the theme song for the Scooby Do cartoon show.

If You can find them (My Women)(Im A Hawg for You)& (Blackberry) show their Bues/Jazz at their Best .

[xsellsbrod]

[kynyrdskynyrd]

[blakkat41]

This live performance is unbelievable! Beautiful musicians. I honestly think that if these same guys were around at the same age in today's music scene, they wouldn' tmake it -- they're too good.

[Kamboiano]

Gran tema... recuerdo con mucha nostalgia... cuando con quince años... lo bailàbamos en fiestas del Barrio... con mucho rock juvenil en el cuerpo. Años Setenta.

[budelke]

great live version feel the base line.

[plaster666rockin]

This rules!

[drmjr]

The Christian group DeGarmo & Key also recorded this song on their 1984 album Communication.

[hrilos]

[RogerVandevert]

Now this is some good stuff! great guitar playing too.

[RogerVandevert]

Now this is some good stuff!

[PaulWarrenProject]

I'm the kid playing guitar in this video. It was my first tour and this was filmed somewhere in Germany at 10am It was a freezing cold studio and no one had slept. There was no food and no audience. It's all rented equipment and those are two pick-up horn players from the musicians union. Only good thing that morning was the hash and a 6pack of strong local Beer.

[kynyrdskynyrd]

@PaulWarrenProject

Well you guys sure nailed it,incenditary performance

[grsummer]

@PaulWarrenProject BRAVO !

[NakturnalX]

@PaulWarrenProject Hey man, I love this jam! So cool that you'd comment here on youtube! I play this song a lot with my band, and this solo is one of my favorites ever. Also that guitar you are playing is a beauty, can you tell me what year or how you came across it? I've never seen another one like, and have been thinking of building one just like that for while.

[terrystud99]

@PaulWarrenProject Hi Paul...you did a nice job on your Les Paul...keep up the good work...Terry

[ModGirl1967]

@PaulWarrenProject You played very well, regardless! ♪ ♥ ♪

[TheJohnnyNero]

@PaulWarrenProject You are an idol!

[radargod1977]

[hdizzy155]

@PaulWarrenProject Thank you!

[MFAsh1969]

@PaulWarrenProject Nice 'fro bro!



[Kranstafarian]

just great..just amazing..i listen and watch this video now every day for 3 days and every time i feel like the God of music is in their instruments and in his voice...

[sksepulv]

Excellent song! A long time favorite. Thank you for sharing it. Rock on, brothers and sisters!

[smokedbazola]

[rosesredvioletsblue]

thank you for posting.

[edispickups]

Fantastic song!!!

Few months ago I get this Blackfield head!!!! yes, yes yes . Amazing!! this sound you can get only with original gear.

[zzz1zzz1xxx]

Charlie Allen = where Lenny Kravitz stole his look/vibe.

[cartseriesrules]

Best song ever

[init4mojo]

Whoa, I almost forgot about this song!? Love it

[1LoWu]

Amazing!!!

[Rory123Guitar]

I bought this 45 in a piano store as a kid because I liked the title. Had never heard it before. One play and I was hooked!!!

[elkurrukan]

adoro la hierba

[121126]

when rocks are dust this will still be a great jam

[SuperRocker68]

q forma de tocar los instrumentos..buena rolla ..

[SuperRocker68]

y desde mexico mi punto de bista...buena rolla classica..

[DictatorObama]

Guitar: GLEN SCHWARTZ. Wacked out of his beautiful mind, but still playing to this day. Used to play EVERY THURSDAY for free in Cleveland, OH. Now you can catch him monthly at the Beachland Ballroom. Here he is recently. Search GLEN SCHWARTZ and be mesmorized.

[sheetkkk]

@DictatorObama

What day does he play there

[VeryMelanie]

@DictatorObama I think you will find the guitar player is Paul Warren

[CHOZENProductions]

I HAVE BEEN HEALED!!!

Grabs you by the throat.

Wow - what a band. Charlie Allen was a tremendous front man - these guys should be touring like the Allmans and shredding every night. Backing up Janis. Opening for Otis.

And so it goes.........

[wp4866]

can't believe some of these concerts are still floating around. loved that nasty guitar break.

[SEVFEST]

FAN FREAKIN' TASTIC

[Shiruah]

Amazing song :)

[victoriadaniel]

EXCELENTE BANDA !!!!!!!

excelente banda pacific gas and electric

tengo 28 años y la primera vez q escuche esta banda fue en 1999 excelente banda me fascina la banda, el bajista tiene parecido al bajista de la banda britanica de los 60's llamada THE ANIMAL.

gracias amigo por poner el video de esta magnifica banda de rock clasico solo para conocedores.

saludos desde lima - peru y venezuela

[TheJohnnyNero]

@victoriadaniel el bajista de los Animals es Chas Chandler; después fue el manager de Jimi Hendrix

[mindcontrolsalsa]

Brent Block on bass? He's looking sharp,playin' sweet riffs. I knew his cuz Tim from jr high in Kenosha,thanx 4 posting it

[pianolex]

Magnifico grupo, yo tenía el vinilo allá por el año 71. Que nostalgia me dio. Gracias por el video.

RAUL, DEVUELVE MIS VINILOS, ja,ja

[ruedaguerre]

I love their style

[challenger1451]

It doesn't get much better than this.... I can't imagine a better feel good song than this one!

[olvidatedeeso]

i just took half and acid, man im so wasted i feel like doing something crazy, something absolutely wrong, like blowing a house on hawaii

[cartseriesrules]

the best song and best video in the history of music. That guitar solo is virtually a religious experience. I love how the singer pokes himself in the eye with his sunglasses at 5:52

[raponte1955]

Excellent version but I still miss the gospel choir in the original!

[claux23]

It doesn't get better than this.

[lizzie190476]

Hermosa cancion , y la letra todavia mas aun busquenla , veran lo bella que esta

[frankieruiz88]

No se inglés pero me puedes explicar que es lo que dice la letra?

[Losassaman]

@frankieruiz88 La canción es sobre los últimos días cuando el Señor Dios viene por los suyos, diciendo. . . (Hablando) "Hay rumores de guerra Los hombres mueren y las mujeres llorando Si usted respira aire, te vas a morir Quizás usted se pregunta la razón por la Pero espera! No se preocupe usted Un nuevo día está amaneciendo Vamos a tomar el sol, y lejos volamos te ...

[jfk261]

wow how cool is this. real music played by real musicians. anyone that knows anything about music can appreciate this. MAGNIFICENT

[mastermetx]

@jfk261 Trata sobre una guerra inminente y que se preparen o esten listos y no se preocupen para ser salvados me imagino que por Dios,muy acorde a lo de esa época de Vietnam

[MstrssK]

i dont know about you guys but i m in luv with that

song

and the singer too,

even though he's very old now, or dead, who knows, but it does not matter.

and yes i prefer his stoned eyes behind his sunglasses.

[Suziq1231]

THE WORLD IS WORSE THE SONG ROCKS

[japan4ever1]

excellent music!!

[laurachiquis23]

me encanta

[585960]

yeah thats a young Paul Warren there!!!!

[dddaaayyy]

Damn. I want that shirt the bass player's wearing.

[axelbeast]

dude that looks so fucking gay!!!!

[Kamboiano]

A wonderful song... what a remembers !

I had fourteen years old... in 1971...

[judithah23]

Killer performance? U can't be 28 yo, can u?

[cucumberinmypants]

Killer performance!

[girlgeekster]

What a voice! If anyone has the group playing "Wade in the Water" could you please post it. It's my favorite.

[ClevelandHost]

I take it Glenn Schwartz was gone by the time this clip was made.

[psychkoala]

Maybe not as good as their studio version, but still very nice.

Great, great song.

Thanks !

[GuvnerX]

that's a great song... but at 6:54 I laughed pretty hard lol.

[dumichauchnoch]

einfach spitze - immer noch !!!

[rembremerding]

Großartig!

[willemvanorange]

Good performance but I miss the female backing vocale

[oratam103]

Esta canción la bailaba yo el año 1970 en una Disco de Mataró España que se llamaba Hobby Place, fué mi canción favorita el verano de ese año.

Aquel año ya no volverá, pero que me quiten lo "bailao" a ver si pueden, jajaja

[BluesGal17]

Thank you very much for this video!

What a terrific song, so good to see Charlie perform. The single release with The Blackberrie's beautiful voices chorus was an uplifting joy to hear.

re: BrooklynENY Él es ignorante y no entiende esta canción. Sería mejor que él escuche música niños, Brittany Spears!!

[groundhog713]

This is a great performance. Charlie Allen could sing like a motherfucker!!! RIP.....

[jeffreyelfather]

el sentimiento de una horacion plasmada en una cancion ,.... ¿ estas listo ? si es asi , no te preocupes

[timmhg]

Que buen video! Mi padre tenía canción en cassette y me ponía a bailar a los 3 años.

[vithovenstyle]

by the way, excellent video you got here Frankie...

[vithovenstyle]

I can see there's a racist fuck posting comments on this video, man, america is not the world, so fuck off if you don't like people posting his feelings in spanish...

[mariala1000]

me gusta mucho esta canción

[121126]

thanks for a great jam

[frankieruiz88]

La banda es originaria de Los Angeles

[pappoelmejor]

good good music funck soul rock!

thanks for the upload ... bye

[frankieruiz88]

De nada, y creo que tienes razón en sudamerica Pappo fue el mejor, tuve la suerte de verlo en Barcelona, una pena que ya no este,,,

[NeverforgetElvis]

Cool cats with a great message.

[laurachiquis23]

excelente

[progjazzfusion]

actually I stand corrected, this video was recorded in England, not Germany as I said below. but it was recorded for the german TV broadcast "Beat Club" series produced by Radio Bremen in Bremen Germany, so evidently they recorded a lot of performances in a UK TV studio, possibly because more groups were apt to be on tour in the UK than the German Bremen area where their main studio was.

[frankieruiz88]

Ese dato no lo tenía pensé que los videos de Beat Club solo se producían en Bremen, claro que tampoco es algo impensable ya que todos los grupos que salen en los videos tenían giras por Alemania

[Nandito2006]

Exelente tema, Goodd very good Pacific Gas & Electric..... video

Y tus comentarios de arriba son muy ciertos tiene mucho, funk, soul, R&B....etc etc

Nandito2006

[kofferfischii]

Indeed beautifull, thanks for the upload!

[Discfiend69]

A BEAUTIFUL diamond in the ruff...

This could never die.

I'm rockin' out to this till the end.

[gittahfiend]

is that alvin taylor on drums?

[leesterg]

ron woods on drums.

[roadie911]

the one and only out of palm springs,ca.i was a roadie for the band for ashort time from march 1972 till early 73 we were in d.c and alvin and i went to a james brown show i was the only whit guy there great times

[gittahfiend]

I KNEW it!

[gpeacho]

that is alvin taylor on drums -what a guy!-i played saxophone on that session..a great time for me and a fantastic bunch of guys..sad that charlie died so young ,he was my mate on tour

[favelika]

me encanta esta banda

sobre todo el bajeo

[Leemanlyness]

haha that build up was mars volta esque! i love them now forever!!

[progjazzfusion]

This is not Ken Utterback on guitar...he told me himself he left the band before the European tour so they hired someone else...I sent him this video years ago before he ever saw it and he says it's not him, so who is this guitarist? He Rips! Ken does too though, in a different way

[frankieruiz88]

Los datos de los integrantes los puse en base a varias páginas web que leí, en una de ellas vi una foto de aquella época donde salía este guitarrista y ponía Ken Utterback, es posible que la información halla sido erronea yo porseacaso lo dejaré en interrogante. Gracias por el dato.

[leesterg]

Frank Petricca or Brent Block

[progjazzfusion]

yes that's Frank Petricca on Bass, but not on guitar. I wanted to know who's on guitar, and it's not Ken Utterback or Glenn Schwartz either. It's some guy just hired for this European tour after Ken quit (he told me himself). This video was done in germany. Probably the only one who knows is Frank on bass. I should ask him as I know he's still around. I asked Ken to ask him but he never did.

[filramil]

@progjazzfusion some people are saying it's Paul Warren...I guess who now is in Rod Stewart's band (although I'm not sure). Great solo.

[progjazzfusion]

@filramil - wow thanks for telling me, and paul himself agrees above! mystery solved. great player. i've been waiting to know who this is for over 20 years.

[macabeohot]

i remember my days at the high school.

[rokdrigopower]

que nostalgia, yo tenia el vinil original editado en mexico, y jamas pense que existiera un video en vivo de esta rolototota!!!! exelente

[frankieruiz88]

Hoy en día la gente esta desempolvando y por suerte colgando videos hasta hace algunos años inexistentes. Seguro que queda mucho material que todavía no sale a la luz.

[Thrasheroso]

Compare tengo 18 años y recien hoy descrubri esta banda

y no puede creer que solo 2000 personas DISFRUTEN ESTA MUSICA

Pacific Gas & Electric RULES¡¡¡¡¡

THEY ARE SO STONED IN THIS VIDEO

[Flyingteapot1970]

Perfecto, genial Banda.!

saludos.!

[Koinzidenz]

Hi Frankie,

wenn Du jetzt noch "Travelling Tune" von Stemhammer reinstellst, bist Du mein Held. Liebe Grüße

[crawfordderhounds]

Geoff Peach,a great sax player with Brian Davison's "Every which way" and many more.

[ant3112uk]

Geoff Peach on Sax!!! Absolute LEGEND!

[andresl7]

[Discfiend69]
