Van Morrison with Tom Jones and Jeff Beck - Bring it on home/Trouble in mind

[ZelbeQahi]

This is amazing! The whole feature is great. Thanks for sharing. Jeff Beck is the man.

[MrBadBoy2105]

This performance is fucking incredible

[ajarvinen]

Wow!

[MuzicTrax]

Could you imagine if Elvis was alive to sit in with them on this? he and Tom were close buddies back in the day and I'm sure he would have loved to sit in and jam with these Cool Cats.

[anndana1]

and if you ever change your mind about leaving me behind .....

[fdhakansson]

Soulsome! THey do well together but TOm is supreme!

[mschwage]

Tom Jones... serious respect, man. Van and Jeff Beck, already understood. Tom you deserve a seat right alongside them. This is a great performance all around.

[TheKimykali]

Another fine example of music overcoming race and origin. Nice cover by this group of talented Brits! haha. Thanks for the vid..

[B1ggu5]

@Prrzipiep How about renaming the Oscars the 'Scorceses' as they are supposed to represent cinematic excellence.

[Hacce100]

Them old boys are singing...ok, great,,,,

[TurnersTwoCents]

Them boys got soul, sho'nuff! Sang that sh*** fellas!  Jeff Beck -- don't hurt nobody on that git-tar!

[hassledguy]

My man John Cleary on piano. All of these guys have performed at Jazz Fest in the last 2 years come to think of it. Tom Jones did a credible version of Iko Iko. He is fabulous here..Van always is.

[KipJordy1]

I'm surprised Van is starting to look like W.C. Fields. Excellent display of talent though. Tom Jones may have a good voice but he's full of shit. A Chia headed bullshit artist. Why would Morrison or Beck even pour him a drink?

[jimmybrown11111]

@KipJordy1 How is Tom a bullshit artist? From his debut to 73 no one could surpass him as a singer. NO ONE. He could destroy any soul singer at the time especially Motown artists with the exception of Stevie Wonder but even Wonder never achieved the level of vibrato power and control or the blues emotion Tom could put into a song. Most of Tom's signature songs, which are amazing musically and lyrically, have not been covered for one reason. How the hell can you top Tom Jones?

[vossmeister]

@jimmybrown11111 by bringing on Van Morrison!

[lapislazuli7]

@KipJordy1 They perform with him and enjoy it. That should tell you something.

[vootie99]

@KipJordy1 Y=Tom Jones full of shit? Your ears maybe, but not Tom...

[Dialoquese]

I had forgotten how good Mr. Morrison actually sounds. He has an intrinsic sense of old school delivery that most don't see the need to emulate.

[mnpd007]

Back in 1970 I took a date to see Tom Jones live. I didn't care crap for him or the pricey tickets, but I did like the girl I took. Took me a while to realize that she didn't care squat for me; she just wanted a free ticket. At the end of the concert the girls rushed the stage and grabbed what they could of his clothing. My date got his handkerchief. I was astonished at how feminine the perfumed hankie smelled! Anyway... I still don't like Jones because I didn't get laid that night.

[lumpup]

Where is the LIKE THIS LOADS button? Brilliant!

[DirtyDeck]

3 fuckin legends.

[vossmeister]

Van has always done blues, he's recorded with John Lee Hooker songs like "Never get out of this blues alive", "Don't look back", "Serves me right to suffer" and also with BB King "If you love me". On Philosopher's stone - "Ordinary people.He's recorded standards like "St James infirmary", "Help me", "Georgia on my mind" and his own compositions like "Fast train", "Lonely avenue", "Big time operators" and "Choppin' wood". Also "Good morning blues", "Back of town blues" so plenty Van blues!

[BluesmanDizzy]

@vossmeister

Right!

And don't forget his great interpretation of Stormy Monday.

[bobschmidt55]

i own this dvd and i have to say the choice of artists surprised me .who knew that these guys could do the blues as great as this.

[axaviere]

oh hell yeah. great find, i love this cut

[joaquinrh2]

I love Beck's guitar work but listen around 1:30 and you can hear that he is not in synch with what the vocalists are doing. He goes off and does a noisy, out of touch thing. Listen around 2:24 too and Jeff is just not with the rest of the group. What's up? He is a better artist than that.

[GeorgiaBoy1961]

Who knew Tom Jones could sing soul so well? Van the man personifies blue-eyed soul, but now we gotta ad Tom Jones to the mix. Good to hear some prime jeff beck guitar behind them - he's wailing!

[kim51962]

FANTASTIC!

[strandwolf]

Great piano.

[journeythruthepast]

For those who disregard Tom Jones because some of his work has been schmaltzy or Vegasy, take a listen to this! That man can and always has been able to sing amazingly! Lord have mercy haha.

[djgregory123]

bloody love this!!!!!

[davie402]

what a superb track...british guys can play and feel the blues man! sometimes!

[makalavena]

goddamn this is great!!!

[psychyard]

van the man, he still have it

[MarkRipleysPage]

OUTSTNADING!!!!

[Super1652]

@MarkRipleysPage I agree!

[MarkRipleysPage]

@Super1652 Ya have real good night

Stop by page is cheek some songs out Peace Bro

[mauro531000]

Ho visto un suo concerto a Udine 1anno fa circa,me piaciuto molto.

[joeyancho]

I believe I saw Mr. Morrison smile......

[browncarlay1]

IS THIS ON AN ABLUM ANYWHERE, I CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT FROM ITUNES. I JUST HAVE T HAVE THIS CAN SOMEONE HELP ME GET THIS FOR MY IPOD

[vossmeister]

@browncarlay1 It's one DVD of a 2003 DVD series the History of the Blues by Martin Scorcese this particular episode DVD is called "Red, White and Blues" the British Invasion. It has been aired on TV in the US (PBS), Britain and Australia several times. Just google where you can buy that. (The cd has not got Van on it!)

[vossmeister]

@browncarlay1 No it's not on the cd, only on the DVD "Red White & Blues" from History of the Blues series (by Martin Scorcese) which has been on TV in the US and Australia several times.

[gladMaryAnn]

What an odd grouping of talent....but Smokin'!!!!!

[Shirow66]

Is this clip on the actual DVD?

[gargran]

Just cool!

[ukraininoak]

This could have been called ' United Blues' !

A English man ; A Welsh man and A Irish man !

The Scotish man could have been Rod Stewart !

[mywotzone]

Van morrison has a better voice , and has more writing talent... Tom jones is great too though ;)

[Realitytourist]

I want to Like this three times! One each for Jeff, Van and Tom.

[nzgp2008]

Oro molido, es esto, les sugiero que lo bajen de volada, yo estoy con el Internet Donwload Manager, bajando este material de Van Morrison, ya que dura poco, así que no se apendejen mas mis chingones, porque lo de Van, dura poco, así que hay mis huevos, porque sigo en chinga con otros que ando buscando. bye

[no1vanfan]

Van if u reading dis ignore the gutter Press... in your own words "wont let the b....rds grind me down No on comes close to your genius. Roll on London Feis

[no1vanfan]

Sublime. Two legends together.  I love My Baby. Roll on London Feis

[pdoyleable]

what can u say ......

just pure class van morrison

legend

tom,s not bad either

[comaradella]

OK Van, thanks, it was about time you shared your talent back with the common folk.

Hector from Argentina respects and salutes you sir.

I wrote to you sorely, when the bigtime operators erased you from the tube.

I was pissed, bad words were written, I dont regret it, was my grain of sand to get you back.

[spsmonktoo]

The Blues-dem boys got some chops.

[vossmeister]

At least he sounds a hell of a lot better!!

[45rpmSINGLES]

Van reminds me of WC Fields here !

[barrieev]

Both are in great voice here!

[88wildcat]

The bridge part in between sounds an awful lot like the melody to Key to the Highway.

[yanis3]

@88wildcat the chords I believe are indentical to Key to the highway, They could have easily included the lyrics in this hybrid. Where's Clapton when you need him?

[GeorgiaBoy1961]

@yanis3: Where's Clapton? Are you kidding? Beck isn't some rookie who just hitched a ride into town on last night's train... he's an all-time great himself. he's laying it down as good as Clapton would do, maybe better!

[yanis3]

@GeorgiaBoy1961 I love Jeff Beck. But since 90 percent of human communication is non verbal, its not surprising you read my comment as a put-down to Beck. Since this documentary featured performances by the best of the british blues players, it would have been awesome if Clapton had made it. Hearing that eight bar blues really made me long for a bit of his singing and playing.

[dan32113]

@yanis3 Beck can do things on the strat, Clapton can only dream about! chalk & cheese skill wise, sorry..

[jacaex]

tom still got it



[bucsphan]

OMG ... love this ... thanks for posting.

[sobersbetter]

tom jones ans van morrison actually accentuate esach other....da balls

[bill32424]

Good musicians pushing each other- Love it- Was Mr Morrison actually enjoying himself?

[vossmeister]

After you have watched this one check out Rambler's Blues as well, very very good!

[vossmeister]

The DVD is Red, White & Blues - The British Invasion. This one of the DVD's about the Blues which ran as a TV program called Red White and Blues around the world. It is a fantastic DVD series film made by martin Scorcese mainly focussing on the roots and development of the Blues and all it's artists. This particular one talks about the US blues artists coming to Britain and the British taking to the blues.

[MightyMoses1910]

@vossmeister great DVD :)

[ThePabo74]

This clip is great. I actually searched for it since I am looking for this DVD, which I saw once a few years ago. Voss, or anyone else, what is the name of this DVD?

[vossmeister]

@ThePabo74 Red White & Blues (The British Invasion) Cheers, Merry Christmas! see uploader comment above and also watch Rambler's Blues - fantastic
