NRBQ Do You Feel It

[montiques]

Would somebody, please God, post the rest of this video? Or even a version with Big Al? The band's greatest song, and not found on the web. A crime, I tell you!

Been a fan of nrbq in all permutations since first hearing them in 1970 at the Woodrose Ballroom in South Deerfield, Mass. Where they passed out all kinds of percussive things for an audience play-a-long of Rocket #9 (and had all instruments returned!). The central constants to the decades of craziness, creativeness and straight to the heartedness of the music were Terry Adams and Jody St. Nicholas. Kentucky meets Little Italy at the Bronx Zoo kinda music ... can't get much better, imho.

so nice

[Cooleemee43]

Its nice to see this grouping of ex NRBQers on stage together. Personally I really love all the phases of NRBQ, I love the early stuff w/Steve and of course the Big Al era is considered to be the bands golden age, but I also really love Johnny Spampinato's time with the band on guitar. 1999's release NRBQ w/Johnny is one of my very favorite Q albums. The song Blame it on the World was written by Joey&Johnny and its a superb song. Their Q rating is thru the roof.

Steve Ferguson had more soul in his left little toe than most players will ever have in their whole bodies! Sadly he left this world October 07, 2009.

[gibsondrummer]

if joey comes back it'll be a line up you have'nt heard since 1974 . but we will still miss big al. the world will not be the same without nrbq

Nice little snippet of a great band.These cats play like no bodies business.Monk meets BB in Motown.

[TopBrassFunk]

No Joey no Q for me.

What year Is this

[boobcube]

Ferguson was & now still is the best guitar player Terry's been in a band with!

[Nur100etc]

What year was this taped?

Thanks.

[johnnyjolijt]

That's some tasty guitar playing...

[elfcounsul]

Terry and Steve went to high school together. Suda E Butler High in Shively Ky. Neither one played rock then. They were hard core jazz addicts.

[Tapris1955]

You can see Joey and Johnny playing together every other week at Joe's bar (The Barley Neck Inn) on Cape Cod in Orleans, MA. We have an eight piece band called the Rip It Ups. Check out our My Space Page.

steve didn't go to butler, but terry did. steve did play rock and roll in several bands before meeting and playing with terry, notable the MerseyBeats USA, a brittish invasion cover band. they met terry's senior when the MBs then keyboard player took off to attend his prom. terry was a substitute recommended by the union. the rest is history. i was the drummer at that time...

[elfcounsul]

Who played the upright base back in his highschool days? I thought it was Ferguson.

[searcherboy]

Not bad, but it's like a sound check with a stand-in instead of the full band.

[dubiousraves]

All they gotta do is get Joey back in the band and -- viola -- genuine NRBQ.

[njdavenj]

I agree all they need is Joey...How True!!!

[dubiousraves]

Yes! Joey, plus a grand piano for Terry. But I wonder if Joey would be loyal to his brother, Johnny, and refuse to re-form the band without him.

[dickarps2]

This is great! But what happened to Joey and Johnny? I know Terry and Steve aren't calling this band "NRBQ", but it sure looks and sounds like NRBQ. Does anyone know what's going on? Is this "split" permanant?

[njdavenj]

This is the Terry Adams/Steve Ferguson Quartet with Tommy Ardolino On Drums,Pete Tioga on Bass...NRBQ members have decided its time to do some of their own projects.Joey plays Bass with Kami Lyle Band and Johnny has Returned with the Incredible Casuals.

[newagez]

Pete Toigo is his name: I shared a place with his brother in the late 70's and Pete used to come over to listen to Asleep at the Wheel LP's.

I don't know--Big Al came in, they changed, it was great. Big Al left, Johnny came in, it was great. This lineup sounds pretty great to me. It's good they're evolving!
