the amboy dukes - baby please dont go

[neonindigo]

Their journeytothecenterofthemind is also awesome. Love them.

[chipbuhl]

this song use to bring cop's to my door

[lyndonheart]

Sounds like classic garage and yes, the drummer is playing behind the beat and seems to be holding on for dear life ... "I can't go no faster guys!"

[mcgargle50]

best hard rock  song of all time?

[fingletoad]

the definitive versioin

[whisper6969twice]

Cool. I never new Ted Did this tune.. Great job. But do they slow down? The drummer sags!!

[grizz22604]

love it



[amays86]

2:33 definitely same riff as Hendrix' 3rd Rock from the Sun

[Ikheetchris]

The melody of the singing is very similar to Black Dog by Led Zeppelin

[MudCow33]

Wow, glad to have learned about this

[Rottenhaus]

If you listen to this on headphones, you can hear that the bands amps were so loud that they made the snare heads vibrate...

[MrOnoitsbill]

You know the bitch went to New Orleans, screw her.

[TheSunbau]

The Amboy Dukes- where have you been all my life?

Now I know what to do all through the night - listen to everything that you´ve recorded. What a music night there will be. I will switch between The Amboy Dukes and a band from Scandinavia - THE ZETTLERS. Check out their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah" recorded in the mid 60's.

[fingletoad]

hoo hah! fanfukintastic! thank u!

[Jelinek44]

...what a great band! ...(B.B.King orig. vers.)

[chipbuhl]

ALL OF YOU MUST BE 12 YEARS OLD

[my88grand]

saw the Dukes at a little club in D.C. back in '70. Nugent came out in a loin cloth and kicked ass!

nothin like a little Ferocious Theodocious!!!!!!!!

[curt8789]

Great Tribute to Muddy Waters, Lightnin Hopkins, Robert Johnson, and others too numerous to mention. Fantastic rendition done with a Flair of Pschodelic. Mr. Theodore Q. Nugent has my vote.

[viewingut]

Nugent always owned this song!

[jro1958]

This one is my fav version.

[m1kewithaone]

i've never heard the amboy dukes before!

[adaptiveagile]

Maaaaan. This is raw. Love it. Thanks so much!

[eleniotto]

Freakin' FABulous. Thank you for posting. Beautiful. - Eleni ABQ

[spyguys]

For those of you who think this is some sort of brilliant garage rock song from the 60's, It's a cover of an old blues tune written by Big Joe Williams in 1935. Nugent also pays tribute to Hendrix (3rd Stone From the Sun) and to Howling Wolf (Smokestack Lighning) with a couple riffs from those songs.

[Syzygy60]

That's our boy Motor City Madman

[306ness]

I should have dropped out of highschool so I'd have had more time to be better at guitar now at the age of 22

[Syzygy60]

@306ness definitly too late 4 u

[306ness]

@Syzygy60 lol no i never stopped playin between then and now, should have spent more time playin guitar over the years instead of spending it on school, girls, partying etc... it's alright though i got my priorities straight since then

[alejandrox192]

como me gusta esta version...!!!! la musica es como el vino mientras mas añejo mucho mejor el sonido.

[motorcityquig]

This song was a staple of the Dukes when they played around Detroit back in the late 60's. In a nutshell, they used to get down.

[pityisz]

2:35 Hendrix rip-off ? :O

[spyguys]

@pityisz I think he was paying tribute to Hendrix and showing off that he could play it. The riff at 2:31 is from "Third Stone From the Sun" off the album "Are You Experienced". Hendrix was a fairly new phenomenon at the time and other guitarists were blown away by him and admired him greatly. This song was written by Big Joe Williams in 1935. On this particular Amboy Dukes album they also covered "I Feel Free" by Cream and several other songs written by other people. I bought this when new. 

[MrGergen]

@spyguys

that is from third stone from the sun aint it

[amays86]

@pityisz i caught that riff too! thats definitely hendrix...

[blackpowder1995]

1 person is off their meds today

[wasthere1]

does not get much better than this.... Ted used to play at Sherwood Forest in Davison Michigan and do some crazy shows. Showing up in loin cloth and bow and arrow shooting live into the back door. Was quite a sight.

[navigator3744]

I remember seeing the amboy Dukes in 1970 and 1971 at Pirates World and at Miami Marine stadium. In those days you could get up close, and get you know what. I remember Ted Nugent mesmerizing everyone when he did stuff like this song. He could wail. It was love and peace. Yep. Kids today just don't understand

[latawie]

great version of a rockin song...

[Villainsyndicate]

I found this track on one off the old rock cds, gold.

[tariksba]

did Ted Nugent play on this version ?

[beck769]

Just a little note about the Motor City Madman and the Dukes...Ted formed the band  in Chicago suburbs in late `64 early `65, played arounf Palatine and Arlington Heights before moving back to Detriot sometime in late `67 early `68!!

[bichomaldito]

I've been looking for this version a long time ago!! Thanks dude. Had no clue about the band's name but somehow I had a feeling Nugent was involved. Good job!

[hamrite]

Like the little third stone from the sun lick in the middle..

[TheDiggum]

I think he's still playing the same guitar! (He was when i saw him in Salt Lake in l977)

[DanRegalia]

Wow, this is effin awesome. I gotta find more of this Genre. I agree with st00pid68... can't beat how raw it is.

[kpix99]

[unisexish13]

[tariksba]

[tariksba]

[kpix99]

Just Motor City rock and roll. Nothing better.

[BLong114]

Lead singer sounds A LOT like Jim Morrison!

[gazuaman]

Splendid...what more can I say...

[mikefmich]

LONG LIVE THE CROWS NEST-SCS 1968. We still love ya Ted.

[choadman1]

Ted ripping it to shreds! He even threw in some Hendrix(3rd Stone From The Sun),Ted could definately hold his own with anyone.

[steelvalley]

Hell yeah! I love the Hendrix sampling!!! Great song all around!

[cflores2213]

[MrJeffrey60]

[SPORTSNUTIM]

Awesome, totally awesome.

[PHDROD]

Issst guuut bloos ruk moosik. Ist guut. Ist guut. I cossark dunc tu dis moosik!! Dank yoo.

[poppimds007]

My first concert was Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes in Lasalle Michigan at The Full Tilt Ballroom I was 12 in 1971 and it costs $2.50 It was 5 miles from my house.ob Segar and the Segar system played there too.

[MrJeffrey60]

first was superbowl of rock with skynerd in chicago 1976

[Nugent94]

@MrJeffrey60 It's spelled Lynyrd Skynyrd

[granmapen]

ANd this was at a park dance in Garden City, cost 25cents or at the grande, cost a bit of acid...

[ljbthree]

Ted was the EVH of that time.Wow!

[danielngayla]

@ljbthree insulting to Mr. Terrible.

[Carlito1988]

Simply put- one of the best high energy songs ever...still kicks ass after FORTY years!! Kids today just don't understand...

[MOVIEMANFAN]

I understand he's a fuckin Badass he'sa legend at Guitar

[jukeking1]

@Carlito1988 Didn't Muddy Waters record this when Ted was still a baby? I think he recorded it as Turn Your Lamp Down Low, in 1953.

Big Joe Turner was the original artist and recorded it first, in 1935.

This is the Best rock version, IMO, but it can't touch the Muddy version.

[jukeking1]

@Carlito1988 OK I just read far enough down. You are right..... Today's kids are clueless to this.

[xxMetalPunkofRockxx]

@Carlito1988 Just wanna say, I'm 12, and I listen to this music and nothing else, I am a hardcore rocknroller. A lotta kids listen to a lotta crap these days, but I listen to Metal, Rock,classic, and anything I can get my hands on. 85% of kids @ my school listen to rap and hip-hop or, Lady Gaga or crap like that. Its digusting.

[Villainsyndicate]

@xxMetalPunkofRockxx Dont be hatin.

[Yellab219]

@xxMetalPunkofRockxx Rock on. Don't ever stop. Kids like you are the future of rock and roll. Turn it on, Leave it on. If it's too loud, you're too old!

[xxMetalPunkofRockxx]

@Yellab219 Amen

[NeilGazzaGarry]

@Carlito1988 well technically the song itself has been kickin ass since 1935!!

[Widdershin1]

What a blast !! This song makes my skin tingle. Ted's guitar talks !! Its talking and laughing !!!

[zippy830]

Enjoyed the covers. Wish I could hear em. Put some on the Tube. Especially the Burgers. I'm from Pgh.

[waltzingtilly]

TED"S VERSION RIPPS ASS OFF OF EM ALL!!

[samuelshepard]

aerosmith check them out p;layin this song

[fender7375]

Good, but not as good as the Nuge

[samuelshepard]

eh. to each his own

[nicjohnson57]

This came out on the album "Amboy Dukes" in January of 1968. Are You Experienced? was recorded in late 1966 and early 1967 to be released in 1967 as well. So, that should answer your question. Jimi's the real deal.

[samuelshepard]

the real deal!!>!>!>!>!>

[nicjohnson57]

you mean "Jimi Hendrix"?

[waitin4theman]

wait a fucking second. listen 2:32 to 2:40

...

it's jimmy hendrix "3rd stone from the sun" (are you experienced,1967?). interesting...what came first?

[crom666doom]

wait a fuckin second yeah it's coronation street, heard during jimi's visit to the uk before third... etc ...there's no originality is there? so what?

[6motion6]

I have some of the LPs that appear on the non-music part of the video. Wish I had them all!

[SamuraiFrank67]

Awesome cover!

[Carlito1988]

One of the 5 best minutes of music ever recorded- Nothing against Van Morrison, but Ted & the boys are just killer on this version of Them's song (even though this is actually an old blues song from the 30's).
