Stories - Brother Louie ('73)

[rockland6674]

I was eight years old when this song came out. It's still one of my all-time favorites.

Ian Lloyd sings the wrong line at 2:37. It's supposed to be, "Man, he had a terrible fight." Nice recovery, though. No lip-synching here.

[loverosesbabyv]

That isn't Rod either.

[Daltonn0810]

this is the song for the intro to Louie the tv show

[Fred100159]

I can't believe how friggin' YOUNG Rod is in this vid!!!

[kulliakaikille]

can´t belive it, they are better than hot choclate. exxelent 10p

[imus1426]

ahh the days when people didn't put themselves on youtube singing hoping to get famous. even 10 yrs ago was better. damn you beiber for ruining music and insulting lesbians

[truthspeakerism]

I didn't know Arnold Swarzennegger played guitar!

[luc137]

@truthspeakerism yeah...me too...ha ha ha!

[glassman18302]

LOVE THIS!!!!!!! Thank YOU!!!!!

[infinera06]

Jose was wrong. No one heard anything from Stories again after this song.

[Santamess]

I actually loved this song when it came out. A young rocker I guess!

[guitarmarcelo]

I remember in the early 70s my mother driving me to little leaugue football practice in her Vista Cruiser. I'd turn the radio on and a lot of times this song was playing. Sweet memories. Damn I wish I could go back in time.

[rbkpetroleo]

Great memories!

[truthspeakerism]

This was one of the most incredible tunes of the time and one of my favorites!

[bomberboy81]

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Monty Python's Terry Jones???

[ShellTrek]

@bomberboy81 Did you see Arthur ... I saw the same similarity.

[picisa]

you know what cracks me up about todays music...... the singer acts as if they are the "it". and forget that the music is being performed for them... Jesus ... where do we get so stupid as the days go by, instead of smarter.. here is a performance. the whole band.....live and no filters... thumbs up if you agree 

[coxy665]

Is that Gallagher on drums?

[jerbojones]

I always thought Rod Stewart sung this song.

[Mrcolumbiau]

What a voice....absolutely love it!

[rennne2003]

Great music...................

[TheStrawbeery]

this is what you call real music a real performance no computer garbage

[ChevKen]

This is the first time that I actually get to see what this band looks like.Initial impression is that it's like the precursor to the Black Crowes.I like that band, I love THIS song, and now I need to check out what else Stories did on record.

[TheLadyjazzy1]

Rod stewart imitation there. classic!!

[compwiz878]

@TheLadyjazzy1 rod is british not american

[mrssagdiyev]

His voice...<3

[JJMADDOG2]

Is that Steven Tyler on lead guitar? lol never mind

[TheDukedawg1]

Damn there were some great musicians back in the day!!!

[carrychris2010]

This song was originally titled "Louie Louie Lou Grant" It was about lou Grant.

[manolo1633]

aqui sale jose feliciano.........!!!!!!!!!!

[Micky2009ish]

10 000 times better then the version from Hot Chocolate............ I still have the original Vinyl Album

[tazlynn1958]

@Micky2009ish I do agree this version is hands down the best.

[fmaykall]

gran clasico

[GrossNational]

Great song. Too bad the bass player couldn't rate a close-up. Way to go, BURT SUGARMAN.

[SpookeyEyeGhost]

Is the singer related to marty feldman? This song is still cool, after all these years.

[Neilfrozn]

This is great stuff!!! The Midnight Special was a classic that could not be matched today. The music that is popular today just doesn't have the same edge or substance that was made in the 70's. Even though disco was also popular in this period, there was nothing to compare to good old rock and roll.

[sjfireguy]

just goes to show even the ugly could make in the 70's!!!!!

[gwendolynko]

now that is one bad ass voice!!!

[stingray1964]

@gwendolynko fuckin GREAT vocals by by Ian Lloyd....they don't make like that anymore...and Yes nobody this ugly could every make it nowday's ....haa.

[tonlo92]

Growing up I thought this was by a woman, then when I saw this video I thought "damn that's an ugly woman" . I now realize it's a man.

[sczesny46056]

[sierria64]

[Micky2009ish]

[TJGUITAR59]

[trampredboy6544]

@sczesny46056 I remember watching this also when it first aired on the midnight special. I'm old also, but one thing for you to remember, with age comes wisdom, and this is what we both have WISDOM!

[tryithere]

@trampredboy6544 Just not your wisdom teeth.

[jcammo1]

@tryithere Thats not Rod, its Levon Helm

[tryithere]

@jcammo1 It wasn't me and I'm pretty sure it was meant as a joke.

[trampredboy6544]

@sczesny46056  Do you remember Don Kirchner rock concert, I know you remember this If you remember midnight special.

[tryithere]

@sczesny46056 At least you ain't dead.
