Jumpin' Jack Flash/Young Blood - Leon Russell (Concert For Bangladesh)

[UncleChuckTH]

Really weird to see George jam out to a Stones song...heh.

[mmg1123]

@UncleChuckTH not weird at all. George and mick jager were very close friends...the beatles and the stones were all close actually.

[UncleChuckTH]

@mmg1123 I know The Beatles were all nice guys, George especially, and the Stones looked up them, but I don't know, I think "close" is stretching it, man.

[Beatlesful]

at 5:14...who is that blonde>?

[laughlane]

They sound like the Grateful Dead in this video.

[usergently]

EPIC!

[msjenjenp]

oh my God. Love Leon and the Concert for Banladesh is a fabulous album.

[AgTigress]

Fantastic!

[ridiculous1100]

unbelievable.. classic

[Syzygy60]

Point is u can convert Ted

Ted wrote the Freakin'ook

book

and this ain't Harry Potter

[Syzygy60]

Ted will convert Romney to Judaism

[Syzygy60]

Ted will convert a catholic to atheism



[Syzygy60]

alvin lee is a Ted Nugent flunky u want the best call Uncle Ted Nugent

[Ms1colleen]

@Syzygy60 today he would be a registered sex offender, google it,good gutarist but.........

[Syzygy60]

Leon made some fans

[karenanneperryman]

I totally dig this performance. Leon still is awesome, & I would of loved to have been at this concert except I was a freshman in high school and lived in Northern CA.

[videopauln]

Leon is the MAN

[rjlb56]

Possibly the best concert ever !

[vetteguy2005]

Wow, what a classic rock and roll medley! If this does not move you, your dead!

Leon Rock on!

[freesiaboysince1986]

Don Preston's guitar solo (2:59-3:12) (8:23-8:36) was highest wall of my guitar life.

[carusmike]

@freesiaboysince1986 I am so with you there matey, and didn't Leon cut him out of a solo here? Hence the smiles. And weren't we deprived of Don every time Leon picked up the guitar at mad dogs.

[papahyle]

Was that Alvin Lee on George's right playing guitar and singing "She looked so tough, that crazy stuff....."?

[Drug760]

@papahyle No, he isn´t

[judecreek2]

@papahyle No, that's Don Preston, guitarist for Leon's Shelter People band, and co-writer on "Stranger in a Strange Land." He is called the Gentle Giant.

[freesiaboysince1986]

To Mr.judecreek2

"He is called the Gentle Giant"what a greatest nickname!! He was giant and highest wall of my guitar life of my youth.I can't copy his guitar solo even now.

[gary1878]

What kind of a wanker dislikes this?

[huichol53]

Talk about smokin'!!!! I probabably played this cut every day for two years straight....Leon cooks with Lava!!!! huichol53.........

[denizen348]

Leon, you did Tulsa proud at that concert!

[uchash123]

Bangladesh will always remember you



[Erudes91]

what an explendid piece of rock

[TheGranule]

Seeing how thin George is I wonder if he was anorexic or on drugs?

[scrumbulent]

@TheGranule nope just skinny as fuck

[Mlczdk1]

Now we have rapp and lady gaga.What happened between Leon and the state of music today??I cant take one note of rapp or posers like lady ga ga...good God almighty...may truly be the end of days...lol

[jsha]

Classic.

[DonaldHope]

What YEAR was this Taped? Anyone? Eh?

Thanks.........Saw The Bangladesh tour in Atlanta)

Forgot the year? Thanks..Go Leon~The King~!

[judecreek2]

@DonaldHope This was in August, 1971.

[8krs]

I love the Mad Dog and all Englishmen!

[pastol]

Couple of numbers from Leon...

[ofschorchedpumpkins]

Don Preston at 5:12 sound like such a fucking legend. Such a bitch its so hard to get hold of his work.

[Syzygy60]

George isn't an idiot



[1blkgsd]

There was probabally enough coke backstage at this concert to choke a fuckin horse.

[usergently]

@1blkgsd For Bangladesh?, well why not.

[yungsu100]

CARL RADLE LOCKS REAL GOOD WITH JIM KELTNER

[blueberries4ever]

Leon has great hair.

[Syzygy60]

Leon is the Best that's why George invited him

[loveroflifemom]

I used to have this album and listened to it over and over again. This was my favorite song.

[TheHank1954]

Leon Russel is one of the best....

[solswindle]

TXlastrebel - I understand what you say about Clapton but please remember he was barely alive when this concert took place. Was months into uncontrolled heroin addiction and barely able to stand and function. He was begged to make an appearance and lucky to still be alive at this time.

[txlastrebel]

This is great. Only problem is the loser Clapton on stage. He's just in the way.

[hydrojimmy1]

One of the great moments in rock n roll history!

[joangirl13]

treat your woman right!!!!!!!! It'll be alright!!!! Yeah! amen!

[FERALJASA1]

MARAVILLOSO TEMA! SE ME PONE LA PÌEL DE GALLINA, FABULOSO GENIAL!!!!

[videomaniac108]

Is that a non-reverse Firebird that Don Preston's playing?

[tb6878]

This was Leon's night.................. just/ right on the money/no wrong..............reminds me of Alvin Lee from Ten Years After 'I'm Going Home' on the Woodstock album.......a flawless performance................nei­ther one could have suspected just how good everything came together and sounded later on...........

[bullysmom74]

my best friend, Jeanie Greene is singing backup with Leon on this concert, I see her quite often, we talk of these old times and how beautiful Leon is.

[Syzygy60]

i can settle the debate about whether Leon's early entrance was a mistake...it was artistic expression and let's leave it at that!

[leosagcap5910]

Leon, really heating up the place..............

[Syzygy60]

I have this album MInt condition I knew it would be valuable 30 years ago

[outlawcountryman]

@Syzygy60 same here man

[debs4mysweetbaby]

cool, is this a remix of the original sound from the concert.. or was it a different night than the one that's captured on the album? :)

[judecreek2]

@debs4mysweetbaby One is from the afternoon show and the other from the evening show.

[debs4mysweetbaby]

@judecreek2 thanks :)

[notahemi]

Yep, this is good.

But I still think Johhny Winter "owned" JJF in the time period. Platform shoes shuffling around on stage with the Firebird in hand, half blind and with the white soul voice.

Sorry. Let the flamming begin.

(Damn now I've go to go watch that video.)

[thanksluvvbug]

nice

[carini7487]

keltner is underated

[dpmusicchannel]

1030 likes and 2 dislikes, WTF the deal with that, 2 miscues

[QueenOnlyMe]

For those of bagging on Ringo, may I remind you that he is doing exactly what a drummer is supposed to do? You know, providing a dependable back-beat to the band, keeping the tempo correct and not being a show-off. So what if he isn't Bonham or Moon? He's Ringo and many, ,many people are thrilled that he didn't pursue his original career choice of hairdresser (which is what he was saving up for).

[dane18owen]

This is like the Mt. Olympus of rock and roll musicians.

[Polly6761]

I love the look in Leon's eyes just before, during, and after his refreshing drink of

Coke...... I think he KNEW they had just made musical history.

[judecreek2]

@Polly6761 I agree completely. I've thought the same thing ever since I first saw the movie back in 1972. Just that look that says, "Oh yeah, I just blew the roof off Madison Square Fucking Garden. Top that, Beatle boy."

[MySoggyCornflake]

If only John and Paul said 'yes' to George's request for them to play at the concert...

[robo9193]

This whole this is AWSOME!

[TulsaLaniB]

My friend and I went to the Tulsa Eastland Mall Cinema and saw this the day it broke, the whole dam audience was up on it's feet on the first song and we stood the whole movie....what a day that was, we were some kinda proud of our Tulsa music men. There's not been many gatherings of this pedigree line, I'm glad I can stick the DVD in anytime I want some good ol' rock n roll.Thanks for posting it!

[gruvqueen]

Leon rocks. Also love Billy Preston's B-3 playing.

[steeltunes]

It was 40 years ago today, or tomorrow.

Hey that Explorer Don Preston is playing on is a pretty rare guitar. Probably worth a king's ransom.

[imajeepster]

@steeltunes yeah i noticed, you don't see them in that colour very often.

[steeltunes]

@imajeepster Although there were a boat load of Explorers made after 1980, in 1970 the only ones that had ever been made were the 90 or so produced in 1958. I think that natural Korina was the only color it was ever made in. As rare as a Les Paul is from that period, this guitar is far rarer.

[unclebobunclebob]

Unfortunately, I heard that the cash raised never made it to those who needed it.

[dimesy94]

Gotta love Keith Richards for writing this riff :') great version of it, love the organ :)

[thecrazysquirrellady]

sweet....dang we were lucky to have this as education...

[romantic1234]

Good memories, this is the True Rock&Roll Soul.......

[okalani8]

rock and roll ....<3

[GonzoGuyy]

Who is playing the lead on the Explorer?

[judecreek2]

@GonzoGuyy That's Don Preston from Leon's group The Shelter People.

[GonzoGuyy]

@judecreek2 Thanks....I think that was the first time I noticed it wasn't Eric doing lead on that song.

[Mrlifto1000]

god i remember that youngblood break ...

[kapdrums]

leon is one bad mutha!!!!:@@@@:)))))

[rogerrrubin]

epic!##*&*++!!@U2>>>>=<<<<

[OldManDuke]

ShitYeah!!!!!!!!!!!

[hfarley3]

There are 4 guys on the stage counting Leon from Tulsa Oklahoma.

Leon

Carl Radle

Jim Keltner

Jesse Ed davis

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

You can tell this is old because the soda can next to Leon doesn't say Coke Zero.

XD

[TacomaPaul]

Amazing. I remember getting this as a kid for birthday cuz my uncle was COOL.

My fave part of V I N Y L !!!! ;-)

[7333cm]

Love this version of Jumpin Jack Flash.

[Topazmoon11]

Oh, man.  Leon darlin', it doesn't get any more rock n' roll than this.

[chineseboy1993hk]

wow! this is so cool. i like the style

[rubydawn1]

Dirty sweet...

[Syzygy60]

youngblood



[Syzygy60]

shut up and listen

[Syzygy60]

i knew i liked leon for a reason beyound my comprehention

[wdchefdave56]

Leon lives in his own fucking world.

And, thank God he shares it with us!

(Elton John is a saint.)

Pulling "Youngblood" out to steal the show... I bought the double album just for this one song.

[normantrombon]

yeah,baby! My sister melanie was at that show. Bought the record the day it came out, and it changed our lives. Now I have the great good fortune to be able to represent Leon Russell's music in the live music bars all over Spain and the rest of europe and I am havin' a ball! All over again! Thanks for letting us remember what it's supposed to sound like.

[CanneletProductions]

Just beautiful!

[Syzygy60]

fuck all governments

[Syzygy60]

the government tried to stop my love emotion...theyfailed

[Syzygy60]

i love this medley

[Syzygy60]

isthis right,Leon was in Mad dogs and englishman?

[judecreek2]

@Syzygy60 Not only was Leon IN Mad Dogs, he put the whole thing together. It was in 1970, the year before this concert.

[LeeVaiM]

King Leon

[XOkie]

I like how Eric Clapton and George Harrison stand down to Don Preston, member of the Shelter People, for the for the guitar solos. Love this video. Glad Leon made it to the Hall.

[mihimihimi]

かっこいいな

[gruvqueen]

Does it get any cooler than this? No.

[Mlczdk1]

@gruvqueen no sir ...it gets no cooler

[TCarter55]

What kind of Gibson is Clapton playing there???

[FIRECRACKER392]

@TCarter55 ,

Its a 335 ,,, :)

[daniel1010131]

I'm pretty sure Carl Radle is the bass player, who also played bass in Derek and the Dominoes.

[judecreek2]

@daniel1010131 yes, that's the late Carl Radle. He was part of Leon's band "The Shelter People."

[tommyholli]

i remenber this song but inever watch this video

help peace music and love i waitig for thi in thi time bye

[sosostu]

"if you treat your woman like you treat yourself it's gonna be alright."

[TheMarioRicciardi]

@sosostu Yeah! That part of the song is so amazing... always loved it. And I think it's true: to look a 18 years old gal in the eye and tell her with shame in your sight, baby I got an old woman back home and I gotta go home beacause she's waiting for me; this is not right, I gotta go to where I belong...

Well, Leon meant something like that to me. Love.

[DonaldHope]

@TheMarioRicciardi The Gal on the street is 19, but lol that's rather

trivial.. GREAT SHOW~!!!

[Syzygy60]

I was raised by a toothless bearded hag

[Syzygy60]

for those youngster out there these were the best at that time and beyond Dylan alone invented pop anti government mnusic,if not for him we'd have no Obama voters

[Syzygy60]

Bob Dylan plays on this album and eric clapton

[alberto49561]

I believe that guitarist is Klaus Boorman

[judecreek2]

@alberto49561 besides George, the 2 guitarists are Eric Clapton and Jesse Ed Davis. Don Preston is the tall blonde guitarist. Klaus Voormann is the bass player.

[gcomeaux]

@judecreek2 Uh... no... Klaus Voorman is nowhere in that band. That's Carl Radle. Leon's lifetime freind, bass player in the RRHF. Died in the early eighties.

[judecreek2]

@gcomeaux You are right. Don Preston and Carl Radle played during this medley. Klaus Voorman played bass during the rest of then concert.

[IamTheGunpower]

This is one of the best live performance ever, absolutely outstanding!!!!!

[homer1311]

What is the name of the guitarist with long hair blonde?

[judecreek2]

@homer1311 that's Don Preston from Leon's band The Shelter People.

[ralfkool]

I had the pleasure of seeing Leon and Edgar Winter in a small venue (the same one I saw  George Carlin in) and Leon sat behind the piano and did exactly what I expected. He looked like I know I'm cool, What now.

[Syzygy60]

I have the album set i knew i'd be a classic

[moodyfan4ever]

George was not eating much at that time, brrrrrrrrrrrrr, the legs, so skinny, maybe more in for dope, Eric the same, but looks bettter.

[tsdrummer]

Not if you talk to Keltner

[MrGiobyron]

GREAT!

[Tommy2Moons]

Happy Birthday!!!

[paulomaya]

2:59 - 3:11 GREAT GUITAR SOLO

[phill531]

I grew up listening to Leon and he still sounds great :O)

[ghellogm]

Believe it or not, but I'm watching this also because of Ringo! Love his drumming!

The rest of the band is no slouch either!!

[LowDeath23]

@ghellogm Keltner doing most of the job though :)

[ghellogm]

@LowDeath23 I know and it sounds like that, but it's great seeing Ringo as well in the band :D

[Bojarsbard]

@LowDeath23 That was when people had fun together. George i there as well as Clapton.

[TheMarioRicciardi]

@LowDeath23 No, he's not... At the time of the Bangladesh gig, they had played together so many time that both, Ringo and Jim, needed one another to get their best. Like George with Jesse and Clapton... Or Lennon and George in front of the Beatles' six strings.... Love.

[scarletsdad1]

@LowDeath23 That's my cousin, Keltner I mean.



[tlynch1218]

@LowDeath23 really? i beg to differ!

[claudeIsbell]

@LowDeath23 Keltner's great, but if you really are not aware of how good a drummer Ringo is, you must not be a musician. There have always been jokes like, "Oh, Ringo got so lucky to be in the Beatles." You ask great musicians, especially drummers, they talk about how "Subtly" great he is. The fills and rolls he did were different then others, and a lot of drummers were influenced by his play. A lot even said they were influenced by the "Beatles", instead of thinking about Ringo.

[GonzoGuyy]

@claudeIsbell Hey even John Lennon said when Pete best was replaced by Ringo. Pete is a good drummer. Ringo is a good Beatle. If you really look at history The Beatles only took off after Ringo became a member.

[LowDeath23]

@claudeIsbell Im a drummer almost 13 years now.

In this concert, ringo is the Off drummer, if keltner will stop playing in the middle of the song, the croud will e barely hear drums.

Ringo is a good drummer in my opinion, not more than that. and to be honest my friend, Ringo Starr is the luckiest man alive to play with the beatles and not being a GREAT musician like all the beatles were.

[martin2sax]

@LowDeath23 as @claudelsbell said: youre not a musician... Ringo is not the best, but he is from the greatest. The greatest drummer isnt the one who plays faster or plays great solos (of course that helps a lot), yo should known that as drummer

[ManfredDeJesus]

@LowDeath23  OMG I am sick of hearing shit about Ringo!!! Okay, he was no John Bonham or Keith Moon or Ginger Baker or whatever. But the Beatles didn't need John Bonham on drums, his talents were best shown in Led Zep. And Ringo was no less of a musician as a drummer than George was as a guitarist. The Beatles weren't -that- great musicians, they could never jam like Led Zep or The Who could. But that wasn't The Beatles thing.

[ManfredDeJesus]

@LowDeath23 And may I add, no one ever seems to go on about Nick Mason being lucky to have been in Pink Floyd, he's no Bonham either. People seem to hold Charlie Watts in high esteem, but how many times do you ever hear him do a drum fill on a Stones record? You know, what was is was. We have no idea of knowing what Ringo contributed to the band by his presences that helped create the secret recipe that made The Bealtes what they were

[QueenOnlyMe]

@LowDeath23 -- Ringo was in a very popular British band (Rory Storm and The Hurricanes) when John and Paul were still playing skiffle in the council flats of Liverpool. He also filled in many times from 1960-62 when Pete Best didn't show up for work before he joined the band permanently in 1962. Basically, the Beatles were quite happy with him and it wasn't luck for him, but for THEM.

[carini7487]

@claudeIsbell ive been a drummer for 13 years, and i always butt in on the arguement that ringo isnt a talented musician, now a days man peoples opinions on what " a good drummer" actually is is all based on flashyness, you either get music or you dont

[galileo1957]

@claudeIsbell Good stuff .. this is absolutely right on. Ringo is the type of Drummer most musicians love to work with ...its all about timing. He wasnt flashy ... he and Pauls bass playing provided impeccable timing.

[MrEction100]

@claudeIsbell So glad to see there are others with which I share llike views or opinions. Your right on the money about Ringo.

[scouse2606]

@claudeIsbell I've heard, a lot of Beatle's tracks were not Ringo on the drums...

[DonaldHope]

@claudeIsbell Hey ya Low guy..You know I was into Drumming & Percussion since I was a teen-Yep had a band too-Ringo was/IS Still the guy who taught me everything! He really did bring in the Beat like no others-His Style paved the way for Millions! Even the way the other members of a band played-They looked for drummers that could be Ringo-Ish~! And it's great to know he still does it~Got an e from him recently, he still says "Yep Donny, Peace & Love and all that too" lol Great guy!!

[enough8ball]

@ghellogm YUPPERS

[DonaldHope]

@ghellogm Hey ya Ghello.....Me too, & Look for the Shot of John Lennon

on stage there, playing DRUMS too~! Awesome event with all these

Guys and Gals on stage..Once in a lifetime thing, ya know? Love it~!!

[tinaharold03037]

@ghellogm this whole amazing show has so much talent its all great to watch but leon russell is my favorite song writer and the all time #1jammer on the piano..errr!

[DonaldHope]

@ghellogm And..John Lennon is on Drums next to Ringo~! Yep~!! Awesome Video eh?

[katcampbell1]

@DonaldHope John was a no show as he had an argument with Yoko because there was no room for her on stage ,so he left town

[johndoto]

Thank you George for the great gathering of folks you brought together for such a good cause- yeah - Leon stole the show, but -- when you are great what else can ya do............................­the Lifers

[peelumba]

Hometown hero leon, finally gets his do....many thanks to Elton for giving a great man his moment in the sun! Kick the doors down Leon!!!!!

[yongadog]

Man, they were going to church that night! Leon could have easily been elected Mayor of New York after that performance. I wanted to play piano after hearing that. Congrats on your induction to the Rn'R HOF. It's been waaaaaaaaayyyyyy overdue.

[DigitalGrotto]

2:58 '58 Gibson Explorer.

[BlingworldPete]

One of the world's most underrated musicians...

Why? Absolute genius!

[judecreek2]

@BlingworldPete You are soooo right. Well said!

[zestguest]

One of the greatest song combo's ever put together!! :) Keep Rockin Leon!!! Congratets to you being enshrined into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!!

[Syzygy60]

LEON



[Syzygy60]

I'll call myself a genius in this aspect,I knew good music must be treated like paintings

with respect

[Syzygy60]

i was 12 and I don't need subtitles

[Syzygy60]

I have the original recording,I knew what was gonna be classic

This is so overdue it is absurd. They would have to extend the H.O.F. into Lake Erie if they actually honoured him for all of the songs he has written and done by others. Lets see more of Claudia and other back ups. Joe Cocker, Elton, Billy Preston, The Stones and Beatles should all be there. etc. etc. The best and most prolific.....
