@nightprowlerful I agree, its a beautiful song. I am only just discovering this band (wasn't around then). Is this the song you wanted to here? :) /watch?v=3oImczv8rFQ&feature=related
I have the album from the 70s i wouldn't take anything for it. There are more great music on it than this one. If they are still playing i'd love to come hear them. I only live about 3 hours from macon, ga. This was the most requested song at all of the parties that i had in the 70s. I had plenty of them too. One of the best albums ever made!! Info on the band appreciated. wild hilbillie
I grew up in the wilds of Michigan in the 70's. The only rock station we could get there had a cool dj,he would play this one every night! Good thing for your posting this tune,I havent heard it since I was a kid,thanks!
To set the record straight, the movie Almost Famous was based on Cameron Crow's life and the band was fictional. THIS is the real Stillwater band that has nothing to do with the movie.
@nholt Not entirely true - Cameron Crowe based the story on his real experiences covering bands when very young - and he did cover the real Stillwater amongst others like Poco, Allmans, Zeppelin. So the story in Almost Famous is a compilation of bands, including one would assume Stillwater.
My "inner hippie" just came flying out. Ok boys and gilrs of The Almost Famous fan base, This was a REAL BAND!! In 1973, they were puttin out tunes when your daddies were still stains on grandpas tighty whities. They started like all bands should...In the smokey dive bars across the back roads in (any state will do but in this case it was) Georgia. Many, Many years before the movie.
I would like to know what is really autobiographical about that movie??? If the band in the movie is fiction and just the bands name exists as it is shown in the movie - than what is real at all??
Uncle Sam's was a heck of a club back in the day. Commissioner Joe Allen (Bibb County) used to hang out there. He said the girls there wouldn't kiss him ever since he revived a dog using mouth-to-mouth while a fireman in Macon. Mike Causey of Stillwater used to be an account executive for the old WPEZ-FM 107.9 in Macon; I interviewed with him but didn't know he was with S'water. I am still wondering how they got the guitar to work like a Sonovox (a device used for old radio jingles).
NO NO NO,it was not the SAME Jimmy Hall!There's two(2),NOT THE SAME JIMMY HALL!!!One is in stillwater,the other in wet willie,they are friends,and two separate men.Thank you!
NO NO NO,it was not the SAME Jimmy Hall!There's two(2),NOT THE SAME JIMMY HALL!!!One is in stillwater,the other in wet willie,they are friends,and two separate men.Thank you!
Okay, so just to let you ladies and gentlemen know.... this IS the band that the movie was based upon! They didn't actually play the in the movie and NO.... the band didn't get any rights to the movie.... So, that may clear up any questions about them and the movie.....
Thanks kidkongdw, this scratched an itch....Like 63 marxx I too was a child of K-SHE 95, wore a cap with their logo to school, it was a pig head smoking a blunt and wearing headphones.
i saw these guys as a teen and they had another hit that got a lot of play on k-she 95 st.louis . chorus said " you been mean to your queeny. you didnt show her no respect....you been mean to your queeny, what the HELL did you expect...'"
when your wrong please don t give an answer.I asked this question sevral months ago and I now have all the fact.There r 2 stillwater bands and the movie is about stillwater but not the stillwater that rocks out on mindbender
This group was from the Phil Walden stables of Capricorn Records...early 70's. Jimmy Hall, the lead singer was a member of Wet Willie, another band that recorded on the Capricorn label, one of the best labels EVER!
"My Daddy was a Gibson, my Momma was a Fender; That's why they call me Mindbender."
@cyberties - The Jimmy Hall who founded Wet Willie and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Male Vocalist on the Jeff Beck Flash album is not the same Jimmy Hall from Stillwater.
alfred lagarde (the famous dj player of the 80/90 from holland) made me notice this superb song on his famous "beton uur" or "concrete hour". alfred 's not longer among the living, but he still sounds on in this song. i hope god have his heart, though he did a lot of bad things in the name of the lord, and he knows.
Capricorn records shut down before they could take off. They had previously signed the Allman Brothers Band, and unfortunately Stillwater did not get the promotion they so richly deserved. Great guys, all of them. My parents and aunts and uncles knew them very well. One of my uncles worked for him, his nickname is Teddy Bear.
this is response to Stillwater and Almost Famous-- Stillwater is still together and performing. They are on FB and MySpace and in my friends list. Wish they could have one more big run.
I grew up listening to these guys who were from Kathleen, Georgia...about 30 miles from where I grew up. For some reason, they never got onboard the "Southern Rock Juggernaut"....maybe poorly managed...don't remember, but they were verry popular locally...
No, this band was a one-it wonder with this song. Nothing to do with the Almost Famous fictional band. My band Icarus opened for them at the Stone Toad club in Hattiesburg, Mississippi way back when this song was on the radio in the Southeast. .
@RichardScott1958 You're right, only one of their songs ever made it "big." But I believe they were one of the most poorly managed and underrated talents of the times.
@mrrontastic The band in the movie are a ficticious band. This is the original band from Georgia who released 2 albums on the "Southern" record label "Capricorn" in 1977 and 1979.
@offdtop It was based on an almagalm of Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers and a few more bands of that era. The name of the band was Stillwater, but it was not this band.
@1robbiewhite Those ARE the facts. Almost Famous had a band named Stillwater, but it wasn't anything to do with this group. Cameron Crowe simply liked the name. He may not have even known of this group. The band in the movie was based on a little bit Led Zepplin, a little bit Eagles and a whole lot Allman Brothers. Whether or not this band still exists is not what I was responding to. OFFDTOP said he (she) thought this band was the one in Almost Famous.
@mrrontastic it IS!!! they were not IN the movie... but it is based on them... I know because the guitarist is My guitar instructor.. he said they had to sell the rights to the story do the guys can make the movie
Not, That band was just put together for the movie, and they took the name of this real band and did not give them compensation. These boys are the real thing, I saw them in concert in Tampa Florida, mid 70s.Ii think they still play around Macon, Ga. under a different name ( Bridge ??)
@toonzz5215 I use to live around them in the 70s. They played in the bar I worked in many times. I think they get together once a year and play, or they use to. They were a great bunch of guys, always nice.
@Jazzy704280 I believe it was 1983, saw these guy at a cobcert at Olympia Skate Center in Macon, GA. it was a great show by these guys in a very small venue.
The movie, "Almost Famous" is an insult to this band. Stillwater didn't have anything to do with any of the songs from that film. The band in the film were actors. This song is from the real Stillwater.
@rocker53zero Of course the band in the movie are actors. But i still enjoyed the movie without there own music. It would be better with there music though
Almost Famous wasn't about this band. The name is a coincidence. But the original band was extremely talented nonetheless and this song is one of my all time favourites. The fictitious band Stillwater from Almost Famous was also pretty cool- however their music was made for the movie only.
@truerockynorth Bobby Golden from Stillwater says: "I lived and worked in Italy when I received a part of the rights paid by Dreamworks to Stillwater to have used the name of Stillwater in the film "Almost Famous". After having called at house to know why I touched these rights, I discovered that the company of Steven Spielberg, Dreamworks, had contacted Sebie Lacey, our singer to establish a deal concerning the use of the name.
Rob Walker was a good friend of mine when we lived at Clark AFB in the Philippines as kids - like 4th grade. I think his older brother dated my sister. Just read he enlisted in the USAF after the band's breakup. Hope all is still well with him. It was cool to learn he was in Stillwater while the song was still popular. Our parents exchanged Xmas cards... my mom told me about it!
In January 1736, Benjamin Franklin published The Drinker's Dictionary in the Pennsylvania Gazette offering 228 round-about phrases for being drunk. One of those phrases is "He's kiss'd black Betty."
I seen Stillwater open up for Mahogany Rush and Rex at October Fest on October 2 1977 at the Hollywood Sportaorium, Hollywood Florida. That concert was sponsored by WSHE 103.5 FM and cost $1.03 to get in. The was the night Mahogany Rush recorded the live album. These guys where awesome live, sad they were only onstage for 45 minutes and only did 1 onchor.
I AM A GOLDEN GOD...lol well this song is freakn amazing and this kind of stuff should be "in"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now a days kids are making fun of this!
I was in high school when this single came out. Not long after Peter Frampton came out with his live album. Talk boxes became the rage. I made me one, and it was fun. So was the times. Cool song.
@probinson1337 I took a horn speaker, took the "nose" off of it. The end that was left was just right for a piece of hose to slip on. It worked great. ALL the sound would go through your mouth. It was neat as hell. Feed the hose up to the mic, bingo, talk box.
I believe Runnin Free would have catapulted them to success if they would have recorded it in 1983 instead of 1996. The title track would have been a hit back then. Sounded a lot like old Boston.
1979 concert at the Warner Robins Civic Cenrer. It was awsome. Had they come along abiut 5 years earlier, They would have been real big, but by the very late 70's and early 80's Southern Rock had hit a decline unless your sound was more country than rock like Alabama
un noticed bands watt they covered roling stones how many times? they had a movie based on there tour un noticed definetly not get your facts straight
Let me help you out... Crowe made up everything in that movie. The only original part of the move was the name Stillwater.... Crowe was a writer for Rolling Stone in the 70s and that is how he met them, his wife was a fan also from what I recall.
one un noticed band of the 70s is better than so many bands around today, so much talent at that time, if only bands like this could be noticed, appreciated and enjoyed by everyone
I love Stillwater. I saw them at Uncle Toms Tavern in Stone Mountain back in the early 80's. I have some excellent photos of them. If you want I can email them to you. I have to scrounge them up first, but they are close up and good quality.
Two of the guitarists of Stillwater are playing Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd with my High School marching band this Friday night. I'm from Warner Robins, where they came from.
Stillwater was/is a real band that originated in the Macon, GA area in the early to mid 1970's (actually, they are from Warner Robins, GA). They recorded under the Capricorn Records label for a while. The band in the movie used the name Stillwater, but was actually based on the Allman Brothers Band...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ok... Ok... That was a little rude... I apologize on behalf of my puny little mind... I find this particular band ironic and quite daring. For one, they named themselves still water. "Rock" and "Roll" just isn't enough anymore. Perhaps they felt their music was beyond anyone's time? No? Where the "rock" that's "rolling" has to come to a complete stop; STILL WATER. After all rolling in the FUTURE eventually stops and becomes "STILL." And the rock? Well... an opposite doesn't hurt, no?
The band 'Stillwater' from the movie is fictional, but Director Cameron Crowe used the name of a real band for his group. This 'Stillwater' is that band. So the song being played here was a real song, released by the real band
Awesome...those talk boxes are so cool!

Rob Walker was a good friend of mine when we lived at Clark AFB in the Philippines as kids - like 4th grade. I think his older brother dated my sister. Just read he enlisted in the USAF after the band's breakup. Hope all is still well with him. It was cool to learn he was in Stillwater while the song was still popular. Our parents exchanged Xmas cards... my mom told me about it!

In January 1736, Benjamin Franklin published The Drinker's Dictionary in the Pennsylvania Gazette offering 228 round-about phrases for being drunk. One of those phrases is "He's kiss'd black Betty."

I seen Stillwater open up for Mahogany Rush and Rex at October Fest on October 2 1977 at the Hollywood Sportaorium, Hollywood Florida. That concert was sponsored by WSHE 103.5 FM and cost $1.03 to get in. The was the night Mahogany Rush recorded the live album. These guys where awesome live, sad they were only onstage for 45 minutes and only did 1 onchor.

I was in high school when this single came out. Not long after Peter Frampton came out with his live album. Talk boxes became the rage. I made me one, and it was fun. So was the times. Cool song.

@leftyjcw did you use a pignose and a piece of surgical tubing like I did?
probinson1337 1 year ago
@probinson1337 I took a horn speaker, took the "nose" off of it. The end that was left was just right for a piece of hose to slip on. It worked great. ALL the sound would go through your mouth. It was neat as hell. Feed the hose up to the mic, bingo, talk box.

I believe Runnin Free would have catapulted them to success if they would have recorded it in 1983 instead of 1996. The title track would have been a hit back then. Sounded a lot like old Boston.

1979 concert at the Warner Robins Civic Cenrer. It was awsome. Had they come along abiut 5 years earlier, They would have been real big, but by the very late 70's and early 80's Southern Rock had hit a decline unless your sound was more country than rock like Alabama

Let me help you out... Crowe made up everything in that movie. The only original part of the move was the name Stillwater.... Crowe was a writer for Rolling Stone in the 70s and that is how he met them, his wife was a fan also from what I recall.

one un noticed band of the 70s is better than so many bands around today, so much talent at that time, if only bands like this could be noticed, appreciated and enjoyed by everyone

I love Stillwater. I saw them at Uncle Toms Tavern in Stone Mountain back in the early 80's. I have some excellent photos of them. If you want I can email them to you. I have to scrounge them up first, but they are close up and good quality.

Stillwater was/is a real band that originated in the Macon, GA area in the early to mid 1970's (actually, they are from Warner Robins, GA). They recorded under the Capricorn Records label for a while. The band in the movie used the name Stillwater, but was actually based on the Allman Brothers Band...

Great band name, alright band. If their music would've matched their awesome band name, maybe the movie would've never been called "Almost Famous."

Ok... Ok... That was a little rude... I apologize on behalf of my puny little mind... I find this particular band ironic and quite daring. For one, they named themselves still water. "Rock" and "Roll" just isn't enough anymore. Perhaps they felt their music was beyond anyone's time? No? Where the "rock" that's "rolling" has to come to a complete stop; STILL WATER. After all rolling in the FUTURE eventually stops and becomes "STILL." And the rock? Well... an opposite doesn't hurt, no?

The band 'Stillwater' from the movie is fictional, but Director Cameron Crowe used the name of a real band for his group. This 'Stillwater' is that band. So the song being played here was a real song, released by the real band
