[lomadmt]

[planetahead]

[michelesaintthomas]

Lee is incredible! This is delicious! Now... shoot, shoot and shoot!!!

[lNHUMANE]

Woah, you don't see collars like that everyday, there's more collar than shirt!

[MLATX512]

The meters were the back up band on the original recording of this song. That's not them backing up Lee on this set though. Too bad, that would have been cool, but this is still amazing.

Insane to think that Lee went back to being a car mechanic after his heyday was over.

[bluesfreund]

:-)))

[stupididiot13]

sock it to em brother let it all hang out!!!!!

[mrsoundwave]

never heard of Lee Dorsey.this sounds great.motown sound

[shmuli9]

@mrsoundwave It's NOT the Motown sound, not even close... Lee Dorsey was from New Orleans, which is thousands of kilometers from Detroit...

[KongKegso2]

[thmanwiththeplan]

[archermidland]

[Romperjet]

[TheSirHerbert]

Lee appeared a couple of times at The Oasis Club in Manchester in 1965. This was the real 60's music. RIP Lee.

[kajunmoon]

what the hell is wrong with that crowd????

[FungusMossGnosis]

@kajunmoon et alia...

They're Fins - this is the most exposure they ever had to black musicians - up close - in one sitting! I dunno, they're groovin' to it pretty good for Northern Europeans. I come from like stock (Nor.). We aren't that emotive for much of anything. Look how blase the Sweed's were when Death Himself came to play chess...

[drynamw]

top tune, much better than comercial shit we have to listen to these days

[freqazoidiac]

@drynamw does someone actually force you to listen to the radio

commercial music of today? If so, I'm so sorry.

[potaluca]

DAMN!

[Biggiejumbo2007]

1:52...them are some high-water pants...heheh.

[bobmorrice]

1:36-genius

[catheyeluvsmusic]

I used to think the same thing when I observed how sedate the foreign audiences were....however, overseas, the audience is actually LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE PERFORM--THEN THEY CLAP AFTER THE PERFORMER IS FINISHED WITH HIS/HER ACT. I was listening to an interview with Steve Cropper (Booker T and the MGS) and he said that this spooked them at first until they realized what was happening and that this was how foreigners coducted themselves at concerts. Kinda funny, I thought!

[shmuli9]

@catheyeluvsmusic It's fine (and preferred) not to scream, but moving doesn't make any noise. These people seems as dour and soulless as Germans are credited as being (but usally aren't). Or, if you prefer, as unemotional as Vulcans like to portray themselves as.

[Ciaran31]

Outrageous. Those lunging hips should be on Redtube.

[retawdee]

What's Redtube?

[Grare007]

hey hey lee lee let's cut his bollocks just as BB did ! HAIL RNB !

[lagoamemo]

Same bad of Sam and Dave´s shows in Germany

[OrlandoJackson]

What a man, what a voice.

Love you Lee, please post more live Lee

[mudfries]

lee dorsey was pure class, his stuff still sounds great today, brilliant.

[mistadreadman]

Sweet heart, you heard Mr. Dorsey, on the poney girl.

[Pieta21]

Great show. The Cultural House in Helsinki, Finland was famous of rough staff. They carried out the wild audience so late as late 1970's. I think the firs big riot in there was in 1980 winter in rock and roll band contest. The lifestyle in Finland was very differend from U.S. style back then.

[shmuli9]

@Pieta21 Apparently in addition to fluoride, they put sedatives in the public water supply at that time, too...

[MFJVIDEO]

what a still audience, id be exposing myself and throwing up whilst doing the whirling dervish or at least dancing

[jwattie]

@MFJVIDEO LOL!!!

[Suatahamieollannii]

@MFJVIDEO

Those were the days in F-land when sitting still was only option, or else.... no concert...

[shmuli9]

@MFJVIDEO They're Finnish; what did you expect? No doubt, they are also wearing suits and expensive evening gowns, too..)

[jwattie]

@MFJVIDEO That genuinely made me laugh out loud!

[Mobanc]

@MFJVIDEO That's one of the funniest things I have seen on here...great post lol How can they possibly sit still to this omg !!!!!

[Rajamuttu]

@Mobanc

They are packed into theater seats. Where would they go to dance?

[Mobanc]

@Rajamuttu Sorry, what are you talking about?

[rgsimon]

A truly soul legend. Everything he did was really funky ;-)

[CajunTroubadours]

Anymore Lee Dorsey?

[CajunTroubadours]

I can't believe I found this clip. That's the late great Lee Dorsey. Him and my dad were buddies. Thanks for the post.

[MamekoM]

What is wrong with the zombie audience?!!

[Pfth]

lol, they're northern hemisphere white folks conforming to conventional 1960s etiquette - the zombie factor was in full effect. Actually, I think they're just being awfully polite - it would have been really wild, man, to display any outward signs of emotion.

[MamekoM]

I guess it's because I can't imagine myself sitting so still to such hip-shkaing music.

[Pfth]

I know exactly what you're saying ;) I wonder why they never got to the part of the song where it goes "Pistol yeah.. now get ready..

Now shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" I was sooo looking forward to that bit...

[CoolRoel]

Cool! Thanx man
