Buddy Miles "Live" - Joe Tex & Take It Off Him and Put It On Me

[808beatbox]

Buddy Miles was my hero when I was coming up in the 70's as a drummer!

[unknownkingdom]

Wow, I can't believe I've never heard this until now. I had first heard Buddy Miles through the Band Of Gypsys album, then Electric Flag and his first couple solo albums. I'm not sure how I missed this.

[doctafonk101]

I Have this lp-masterpiece!!!!!!

Posting "We Got To Live Together", even editing out the beginning, would be so cool. The solo sections, and the double sax thing at the end of them, are killer, especially given the time period in the early 70's. I have the album sitting in front of me, but I'm clueless. I tell my friends about the alto sax solo by Stempsey Hunter. I learned it note for note on guitar and found out about the flatted fith concept in bebop. What a revelation. Anyway, at least think about it. Thanks.-P

[awnok]

I bought the double album twice. The vinyl on both was warped. Great to hear it again without the wobbly sound.

[texassoul]

Buddy's version of "What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)" is fantastic and is short enough to post on YouTube.

[romanticandperky]

Yeah, dwill123, go for it: Post the 'Buddy Live' version of "Wrap It Up" with the edit.

Just as long as the guitar solo is included in full. Charlie Karp really sets it up for this.

[phatmaddness909]

@dwill123: if memory serves, "wrap it up" had a small break before miles' solo in the middle - if *I* were to upload it, that's how i would edit it; no idea on how or where to split 'together', maybe right after the double sax solo before the breakdown.....now you made me wanna seek my vinyl and sound forge and try it out..... ^5

[Anointed7]

This Album should be in CD when is it coming out in CD. AMAZING..AMAZING.. AMAZING...ALL THE JUDGES ARE UP DANCING.

[MrCudaddy]

I think it was dec of 72 or jan of 73. I do remember it was winter in Philly. I remember James Brown's,"REvolution of the mind". was also just out and the whole side of the lp was one long cut..."He's universaly known..."

[PhillyGregA]

FUNKIER THAN 8 DAY OLD FISH IN A HEATWAVE! EEEEWWW!

[roccopep]

Don't know who the bass player is but he's killer.. We use to do this medely and the bass line was very difficult

[jd1077surf]

@roccopep

David Hull on bass, per the We Got To

Live Together album.

[mrthundaboots]

Pimpin' and Hustlin' music!

[musikfanat]

This is one of the best Live albums ever!

Not many people know that Buddy Miles played guitar quite well...

[mw94533]

Buddy Miles always had great sounding recordings, and very tight performances!

[MrCudaddy]

I saw them live, along with "Dreams".. Billy Cobham and Michael Brecker played . It was an awesome show at the Spectrum in Philly. I also saw the Don Kirschner tv show and Buddy DID have a new guitar player,like the earlier post said,but this wasn't Charlie Karp. It was a thin young Black kid and he was incredible . They did "Down by the river " etc. Does anyone have it?

[PhillyGregA]

@MrCudaddy WAS THAT IN 73?

[MrCudaddy]

@PhillyGregA Yeah,I think it was...at the Spectrum. Buddy was with Dreams in a baaad concert!

[atlacatlxochil]

Buena rola mae

[QDuck98]

@Khaliyl19 Thanks for letting me know that! We were totally FLOORED by the solo Charlie did on "Them Changes"

[sprot55606]

Loved this since I was a kid! Always Fresh

[QDuck98]

It was The Summer of 1971, saw this band live as the opening act for Leon Russell. This band seriously smoked live - they were also shown on either "In Concert" Or "Don Kishner's Rock Concert" TV shows of that time and they had a new Guitar player that if he wasn't the reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix, I do not know who ever was. Sure wish THAT performance was available today!

[Khaliyl19]

@QDuck98 Charlie Karp was that guitarist name and he had a great tone!

[ensconse]

Great music..that's all...great music.

[DrLangMusic]

Dig It!

[joeholl3333]

I LOVE BUDDY!! R.I.P.

[TRUOHIO]

My father had this album, and the cover used to scare the mess outta me. This song is funky ! Thx for posting.

[2482george]

i am a bass player that some the greatiss bass playing i have heard in a long  George Journigan

[romanticandperky]

Marlo Henderson is a great guitarist. He did the guitar solo on the studio ('Message To The People') version of 'Joe Tex'. He's not on this live album though. Charlie Karp, who was just a young kid when he joined Buddy's band, learned a lot from him.

[carlfia]

Awesome album and Charlie Karp's guitar tone and playing is off the charts. This album SHOULD be released on CD

[romanticandperky]

The guitar solo on 'Wrap It Up', carlfia!

[carlfia]

Karp and Hull were amazing players for that era!! What a band!!  Charlie joined this band at a very young age.

[gittahfiend]

dont forget Marlo Henderson(Guitar)

[manziman]

more!

[jwjeffrey]

Thanks for posting this,I'll have to pull out my Buddy Miles L.P.'s and give them a play.

[romanticandperky]

How about then if you post "I Still Love You Anyway" from the 'Them Changes' album?

[wonkavella]

@romanticandperky i covered that song at an open stage everyone loved it no one even knew who did it.so at least i gave the world at least in my world a lil taste of buddy.just wish i did it as good as him.lol

[romanticandperky]

What would be great is if whoever posted this would also post Buddy's version of 'Wrap It Up' from this album.

Also, this album has a great version of "We've Got To Live Together", which includes a sensational ending.

Any chance of having that posted?

[dwill123]

The problem is that both songs exceed You Tube's 10 minute limit. "Wrap It Up" is over 19 minutes and "We've Got To Live Together" is over 12 minutes long. Editing them would be a shame because they both are great performances.

[Pianofy]

@dwill123 I believe the maximum length on youtube has been increased since you posted this message :) Try it again

[carlfia]

i put it up!!

[koolheat55]

you havta do, down by the river. You must have the source. Folks havta be able to appreciate the dedication that went into the Buddy miles live Album, and his tribute to Jimmy Hendrix via hie father who was at the Seattle show. But foremost, thanks for finally putting out the Live Album, I can't find it, and mercury records never put it to disc, which they should.

[koolheat55]

you gotta play the rest, PLEASE

[jclarke713]

my man dave h. and charlie k . ... great music .. thanks

[freddypknight]

Yeah, Baby! It was 1972 when the funk band in which I played tenor sax opened our 1st set up with this powerful tune. Yours truly played the first solo (here the trumpet solo goes first). At 15 years old, all I could do was copy this guy (Stemsy Hunter?/Hank Redd?) as best I could. Nevertheless, this song as an opening made the audience really sit up and take notice. Thanks for posting, dwill123.
