Boz Scaggs / Georgia (Live)

[prima59]

Still the greatest

[cltparrothead]

he is fanastic! just found "camillia" by hall and oates, which reminds me of this song

[glendaraewilliams]

I love that the piercing mike feed back doesn't even faze Boz. He never missed a beat. This man is singing his heart out and you can " see" every breath he takes. Kudos for this post . The song is great, the performance is beyond great. What a marvelous musical journey Boz Scaggs has had. Im grateful he let us tag along. It's been quite a party!

[THElaulauman]

who are the ladies on backup?

[PINCHME222]

I think when the temp falls -82F it's time to cancel the production.. I'm just sayin..

[charlieh82]

@PINCHME222 Hilarious!



[mjvicc1952]

Boz is one of a kind when you consider all of the musical genres his carrer has covered. Thanks for the "years"!

[mikefoe1]

Boz is the man, thank you for all your wonderful music

Check out my tribute

[MrAdrianTapia]

Expo-'85 Worlds Fair in Japan was an awsome tour..last tour with Carlos Vega on drums and John Madrid on Trumpet..I feel so fortunate to be get the opportunity to play sax with some of the greatest musicians in the world..including Jeff,Mike, Steve Porcaro,Steve Lukather..before they formed TOTO..and that my solo tracks were picked for'JOJO'..thank you BOZ!!

[TrueHeretik]

And you know, Boz was first simply a sideman for Steve Miller

[bravodefcon]

LOVED HIMMEDFOR ALONG TIME.iT'S MILLER TIME

[mikew7kol]

Great singer

[postusinterruptus]

How beautiful. Brings back such wonderful memories.  Thank you for posting this.

[schweenieboy]

I am high from listening to this song again! wow

[andyrew43]

This is definately my fav Boz song.

The feel, the interesting chord progressions and brilliant arrangement. As a musician, I enjoy singing this song the most. It's a real feel good song.

[MiGrm9]

Boz can sing to me anyday. Love you...

Michele

[TheGmgirl77]

Boz makes me feel sooo special! (my name is Georgia lol)

[glomo86]

This man is GREAT!!!!

[tskimmi]

Georgia...as usual intense thanx Boz...!

[tdelacruz61]

"Georgia" on any other Boz Scaggs album would have been the first single and the best song, but being on Silk Degrees, Boz's BEST album, it's almost buried LOL. Boz recording with the guys from Toto and a few others made two records, Silk Degrees and Middle Man, that may never be equaled....

[kezzer2]

Stunning voice,cool post,cheers,I like it !!

[toothmaker22000]

what a voice....good god...so soulful

[ohrickey]

One of my all time favorite songs.

[Wildlacylady]

Boz just turned 66 the other day... he is still amazing fro his age!!

[Pitcher6788]

Boz Rocks.

[jasonwheel]

This was always my favorite Boz Scaggs song and it's his best. still sounds great. excellent rendition here.

[KellyGiftShop]

Burrrr..The poor man is freezing

[WARLOCKSMC1]

this shit went out with bell bottoms and wide collars.

[RecordWarped]

I love this song now as much as I did 33 years ago. It's my favorite song from a man who had nothing but excellent songs. And, well, it's just a bit sleazy ... or maybe more than a bit.

[Smackdaddy9]

@RecordWarped I'm not sure what you're on about with that 'sleazy' crack.

Send me a note. We'll sort this out.

[RecordWarped]

@Smackdaddy9 Hi, Daddy Smack: By my "sleazy" comment, I meant the song's theme, about a man who is imprisoned for having sex with a minor.

[utgraddad56]

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OFF OF ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS. brrr.......

[benskelly]

Neither freezing cold or mic feedback can stop this great performance. God I love this song.

[sundownar]

Anybody know the names of the two female backup singers? They are great!

[rocketman6464]

must have been a tad on the "cold" side...lol!!!

[Patriczia]

Fantastic, how he sings, truly, he is an artist

My 5* for you

[PRZYOJSKI]

I swear he says "Christmas in your eye's" not "Crystal sea of lights" anybody else hear that?

[Ratbastid29]

You are right. "its Christmas in your eyes" . You can find the lyrics online.

[PRZYOJSKI]

Evey time I looked up the lyrics it would say " Crystal sea of lights" but I did find one site that did write it as I hear it.  Thanks.

[sweetiepie1959]

YES!  You are right! It's "Christmas in your eyes". I've checked lyric sites and that's what's written. Relating the same feeling a child's eyes reflect when they know it's Christmas! This song is about a man who fell in love with a girl who was under-aged but she was a "real woman" for her age. He got busted because of his affair with her. This info on a Boz Scaggs site that gives little quips about what the songs were written about......I love it!

[PRZYOJSKI]

What is that site name or address?

[KellyGiftShop]

PRZYOJSKI..I heard "Christmas in youre eyes" too! I I even tried to lip read it.

[PRZYOJSKI]

@KellyGiftShop Good, I'm not crazy (-:

[rorytek]

You got to give Boz the props on this one.. A younger version, he manages to belt out a virtual studio version LIVE in sub-zero weather! Half of today's artists don't have a smidge of talent compared to this guy. He is unbelievable. Thanks for the years, Boz!

[haselcheck]

How does one artist create so many fabulous songs...Still miss Jeff Porcaro...Greatest Drummer ever....

[starr522]

what is so damn great about this vedio is the fact that it is so cold. Fingers, hands, and voices cannoy respond as crisp as Boz and his group. Fantastic.[

[stuntafucco]

100% agree with your post...Epic performance, considering...

[hongchang100]

@starr522

Yes, it was very cold.

I saw two back vocal women shake with cold during songs and running to a stage side to get warmed between songs. I was a poor high school boy at age 16 with an worn ski-jacket handed me down from my dad. Because this live was held as a part of the opening cermeony of the Tsukuba Expo 85 it was free of charge. I led my dad to take me to the Expo in which I wasn't interested at all. No sooner had I entered the gate than I started off at a run to the place.

[starr522]

Boz is a better man than I am. When I was performing, I was booked in an outside concert. Snow on the ground, 24 degrees. I went on stage and it was so damn couldn' t sing because my teeth were chattering so much.Said thank you and left the stage. Boz you are so much more a better man than I was.

[wilderness3300]

Incredible! Most album releases are so enhanced in the studio that the performer is almost unrecognizable "live". Boz sounds exactly like the album I wore out years ago in this live performance. I love his voice, Thanks for posting!

[KellyGiftShop]

I have loved this man since 1976! Brilliant!

[phoenixtimes2]

No one will ever be like Boz Scaggs. Ever. Deep and soulful. Great music, great artist.

[toothmaker22000]

what a voice......boz was bad......

[martinaxman]

whattaya mean was? still is!

[Pitcher6788]

Boz is awesome. Spanning four decades he has done so many awesome songs. I love his live version of " Heart Of Mine" from his Greatest

Hits Live double CD

[rocketman6464]

loved the token two black back-up singers-----man they are so bad.........lol!

[TheRubyred0621]

Saw him at the Greek back in '99. Unfortunately he did not include this song in his set. Too bad. It was one of my favorites from the Silk Degrees Album.

[skipper8257]

A one of a kind. Such a distinctive voice. Love it.

[starr522]

From personal expierence, when it s so cold that you can see your breath, it s hard as hell to play. Can t feel your fingers. See the backup singers , hands in pockets of their coats. Anyway. Good job Boz rules.

[djhippiegirl]

you got no brain..........

[JennaP46]

bigg guitar..little brain,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,<<<<

[bigguitar22]

Fantastic!!! Bass player does look a bit like Saddam Hussein.

[Karen41872]

Try to find the song video of "You're Mine" on YouTube ... Boz does a fantastic job of it .... full of emotion.......and I love his intro. I sort of stumbled upon it. It's from his performance at the Budokan in '76

[Karen41872]

Northernsummergirl -- I'm posting the birthday information on as many YouTube sites as I can ... I'm sure Slim's mailbox will be deluged with birthday cards.... I drove by Slim's a few days ago..... They have a lot of live acts booked. Boz and his partners give young talented musicians a chance to perform for the public.

[northernsummergirl]

Hi Karen! I didn't stop in to Georgia for a whole week! Thanks for your comment to me.. thats awesome Boz and company give other musicians a place to share their talent. His music and presentation with others is always a delight to listen to. :)

[Karen41872]

northernsummergirl ------- Slim's is located at 333 11th Street, San Francisco, CA 93103-4314. Boz has a birthday coming up on June 8th. I think he would enjoy a greeting card.

[hotgeorge44]

oooooooooooooo memories!! great ones!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

[northernsummergirl]

I agree this brings back the memories!! its a wonderful song :)

Thanks Karen for the info... probably others here will appreciate it too!

[Karen41872]

Kelly and northernsummergirl..........I missed BOZ in New Mexico because of unforseen circumstances which came up suddenly........ BUT I will see him in a rew venues here........ Up in the Sierra Nevadas and then at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA..... a stone's throw from where I live ... plus...... we are going to drive up to the Scaggs' Winery and see if they have a tasting room.. I drive by Slim's (Boz's night club) almost daily with my eyes peeled open.

[northernsummergirl]

Wow Karen, all this sounds fantastic! we never know when these unforeseen things will come up, but it sounds like you will be making up for it. I didn't know about the Scaggs Winery... very cool. That's in California? Have an awesome time!! Oh where is Slim's nightclub?

[KellyGiftShop]

I'm jealous ..You guys are going to have such a fantastic time!! WOW WOW WOW !

[SOULMUSICFX]

esta version en directo esta mejor que la de studio sobre todo el trabajo del pianista despues de decir boz ... giorgia.... - jeje - thanks to share a GREETING

[copaseagull]

Uma observação exata.

Saudações!

[copaseagull]

Concordo creio ser exata sua observação.

Saudações!

[sugglygal]

HOJIROU, whoever and wherever you are...thanks for putting these videos up. They are my favorite on all of youtube.

[northernsummergirl]

I agree sugglygal, Hojirou did a great job of putting these songs up on youtube!!

Did anyone make it to Boz's performance on the 9th? KellyGiftShop? Karen41872? Please share the moment!!

[tdelamont]

This bassist is fantastic, as is the whole band even while freezing!

[1mmickk]

Boz is and always will be the BUZZ

[kurtw27]

Georgia, Hooah!

[spiritos22]

You're right, "pleasant to listen to".. isnt this what music used to be all about...

Georgia is in my Boz top 5.

[northernsummergirl]

Right on... "pleasant to listen to"... "what music used to be all about".... we should enjoy it. Georgia is way up there for me too!!

[Karen41872]

Hey KellyGiftShop! How wonderful...... the Isleta Casino is a great venue for Boz' performances. I might fly out there to see him. I can't get enough of his music. This man is a SHEER GENIUS! And, Cuzin Susie........this is NOT "old stuff" ....... this is TIMELESS! This is MUSIC ........not the crap they put out today.. By the way, our 17 year old son and his friends are absolutely CRAZY about Boz's music and his fantastic stage presence!

[KellyGiftShop]

Hi Karen, as of today , he has not sold out.

I was over there at the Players club today and they laughed at me because I thought he was sold out. It freaked me out .BOZ SCAGGS !! They can only get 2000 people in that showroom!.Fly out! ( I have to work that night ) I can go backstage and hopefully, if i don't trip over myself, I'll at least say hi!

[northernsummergirl]

Hey Karen and Kelly, it would be great if you both see Boz in May. You would think it would be sold it soon.The 9th is only a month away!! I am sure it will be super.... timeless is the word for this style of music.

[KellyGiftShop]

May 9 ..He will be at the Isleta Casino and Resort in Albuquerque!!!I can't wait!

[northernsummergirl]

That's awesome! Would love to be there! I grew up on this music, still love it!!

Enjoy the performance KellyGS. :)

[northernsummergirl]

This is a great video. Thanks for sharing it with us. Love it!!

[padanoli3]

How come "Georgia" isn't on any of his Greatest Hit albums??? What the hel!!!!!!!

[DA90027]

I could watch Boz all day and night. I never get tired of hearing him sing.

[northernsummergirl]

I feel the same way DA90027. I can listen to Boz Scaggs all day and night too. His voice is distinctive and pleasant to listen to. I love his music... great band too!

[SSGTA440]

Yeah, I looked up Kevin on the web.....he's a top sessions guitarist,, played with LOADS of big names.

[AmericanFabricator]

He is freezing to death. What a trooper.

[kenwood3865]

Kevin Dukes, the pride of natchez, Mississippi, is on guitar with Boz.....he's still around.....got a nice email from him, in fact.....

[SSGTA440]

This is a really good live version, pretty tight.

Anyone know who the personnel are on this?

[northernsummergirl]

I agree, it is a great live version. I love this old song.... the video is super....

Your question... do you mean the person who put the video together?

[nor888vast695]

he's 64,

[lew123drums]

The drummer was the great Carlos Vega ... also no longer with us ... he played a lot with Lee Ritenour ... He really had a groove and I'm glad to have this one ... thanks Hojirou!

[niamhorourke]

for music aficionados - a nod to Hoagy Carmichael (a native of my hometown, Bloomington, Indiana) in the line "moonlight through the pines", from another famous song titled "Georgia". Jeff Porcaro was the drummer on the album, but there is no clear shot of a drummer in this clip. maybe Jeff, maybe not.

[wallx4]

Absolutely wonderful! "Your daddy was high the night he dreamed up you"..."Christmas in your eyes".....great lyrics...great singer...super hot! I've seen him in concert at least 5 times over the years and I'm looking for more! Thanks for posting this!

[nor888vast695]

I don't know how many people have thought about this but these groups are getting old and they're gonna run outta steam soon. Who's gonna replace them? The crap that calls its self Rock we hear now? And I've no doubt that the real talent has been given short schrift by record companies. I hope the internet breaks the back of the monopoly on music.

[CuzinSusie]

We're old getting old if we remember this!! LOL Those were the days, huh? Your right, not like this crap!! My sons are 20 and I got them loving all this old stuff!! So we gotta keep turning the young onto it all!! I even play LPS and they laugh at me!! LOL Oh well!!

[DA90027]

Awesome! Love boz!

[ncarolinaluv]

luv it -- they were so cold yet boz was hot hee hee

[argaretbea]

This and Harbor Lights are my favourites of Boz Scaggs. He's worn well too.

[wetcoat66]

thanks for posting.thats the beauty of you tube,brings back great memories and you get to see the footage.my fav b.s.song

[confed14]

Thanks for posting. Looks like it was a little chilly there.

[soldiernl]

thanks for posting. Dutch fan here. I intend to cross the Atlantic later this year tovisit one of his shows. Georgia is definately one of my favorite Boz Scaggs songs too.

[youreadyfreddie]

Thank you Hojiru-San. I saw Boz two nights ago in Washington, DC. He's still great.

[gtekeeper]

Wow. This is my favorite Boz Scaggs song. This is about as good as you're going to get outside of the recording studio.

[Smackdaddy9]

@gtekeeper Is that your favorite Bo Scaggs song?

[DrApocalypse]

Wow-- Boz at the top of his form-- thanks for posting!

[jhanlon18]

Beautiful, just beautiful.
