It's a shame that today they have to go looking for talent...like on American Idol btw I never watch...instead of the talent coming on the radio out of the blue like it used to do. I'm so thankful I grew up with this music and was a teenager in the 70's. I get so teary eyed when I hear this and Aubrey too. all of David Gates' music affects me this way.
@magpieeye i agree - i was teen in 70s too - 52 yrs old now!! We didnt realize what beautiful music we had then. Oldies from 60s 70s 80s is all I listen to now.
I miss the 70s ! Music was at its best ! None can beat the 70s music ! Today's music - auto tune , lip sync , reality shows ,synthesizers , weird voice like lady gaga , Rihanna , britanny spears , biebers ..blaaah!!!
I've always loved David Gates & Bread ! Went to his concert 11 yrs ago and his voice and the music is so wonderfully beautiful ! This is what I call a classic ! The group & songs will be heard for generations to come !
jyarose: I'm 26 and absolutely love this song! I like a lot of older music like this. I don't care if anyone thinks I'm old-fashioned, if music is good, I'll love it, no matter how old it is. This song and group are awesome!
He sounds amazing. What impresses me as well, is that he is actually singing and playing his guitar. He's not lip-synching like a lot of today's "musicians." What you're hearing is David Gates live, not David lip-synching to a pre-recorded performance. I really like that. The song is amazing as well.
wallyworldusa: I don't see what the big deal is with his attire. If he wants to wear western attire, so be it. I've seen "performers" wear a lot worse and a lot less and frankly sound A LOT worse (i.e. Rihanna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, and the various Hip-Hop "artists"). What matters, at least to me, is that David's music and performance is AWESOME! I absolutely love this song! Keep on David! You're one of the last great hopes in this current musical environment.
gravano2: Yes, this is an awesome song and an awesome performer. For him to be in his 60s and still sound so good is amazing. Sorry, I wasn't born when Bread debuted. I was born 10 years after this song came out, but have heard on certain oldies stations when I'm with my parents. I love this song! This is REAL talent, unlike the ones you hear today. This was probably when record labels nurtured their talent to become better, unlke today's "artists" and show winners (i.e. American Idol).
I had been in touch with Mike Botts (drummer) prior to this tour and asked if they would be doing their rocker single "Let Your Love Go" he replied with "no, that's one's a bitch to play on the drums"..RIP MIKE, JIMMY and LARRY. This 1997 tour included a full orchestral ensemble. just an outstanding performance. Hard to believe this '97 tour has never been commercially and professionally released.
The singer/songwriter genre is back in full force now. The likes of Ray LaMontagne and others are bringing intelligent meaningful music to this generation. David Gates was one of the pioneers. Good stuff!
i love this song it takes me back when i was younger and he is a really good singer and also puts effort into his vocals and also personality when he sings...not many singers do that today...its all money money money...
Listening to his music from back in the 70's, his voice is just as clear, clean and beautiful as it was some 25 years prior. Brings back great memories!
Happy Belated Birthday, David. I have the same birthday as you! born in 1957 though. How time flies. You still have the same great voice. I still think you are young!
O bom vinho, quanto mais velho...melhor. o tempo passa mas o sabor fica cada vez mais apurado. Isso é o resultado de um trabalho feito com qualidade. Não se pode dizer o mesmo hoje em dia das musiquinhas feitas apenas para durarem 6 meses. Só cabe uma frase....QUE SAUDADES DESSE TEMPO.
11 Dec 2010 - Happy birthday, dear David, and many happy returns. Any time you want to come back from retirement, we will all welcome you with open arms and hearts. Love you lots.
note that David Gates is the only surviving member of Bread now. They had a guest bass player and lead guitarist for the tour. They were well set up for a great great tour. Wonderful performers. Great material like this. Vocals of David and James go together so beautifully.
@georgebur - technically, there are still two - Robb Royer is alive and well and doing lots of good things in Nashville. He produces a lot of talent and was a founding member of Bread. He met David while working with The Pleasure Fair - a fun album to lisen to if you can find it.
This is 'pure' American music from the 70's and is classic. Many artists today could learn a lot from not only David Gates but other great song writer/singers from the past. It used to be that music was about music and songs were about something....today I can't hear the music and the lyrics made absolutely no sense! I'd love to hear music, melody, harmony, and also good lyrics make a comeback!
Bread played at my high school dance in 1969 - had never heard of them - and the following year they were all over the radio - it was an amazing night - never forgot em after that
David Gates (& band) toured Australia about 4 years ago. I never saw the band when they were famous in the 70's. Although David joked about the fact that had he known he would be singing the same songs 30 years on he would have lowered the top range ... he still sounded great. . He played 75% of his biggest hits, & as a treat played "clouds' ! although I had a great night i must admit I spent a lot of it in tears ! ..as the music brought back many memories.
Absolutely one of my favorite groups in the very early 70's - I listen to their "Greatest Hits" album all the time, even almost 40 years later. Great, classy, hook-laden songs that don't have to have a warning label on them.
Sad. Only David is alive. the keyboardist passed away earlier this year from a heart attack, and the other guitarist (and drummer) both died from Cancer.
This is so great to see. I was 13 when this was first a hit and I still remember all the words. Bread On The Water was one of my favourite albums. Great to hear he still has such a sweet voice. Thanks for the upload.
i'm 33 yrs old from Philippines. The first CD that i bought from my first salary was david gates & bread essentials. I really love their songs too. Are they still alive?
Wow, even if he is old now, he still sound like the old days...Bread make their history, and their songs will live forever... David Gates is one of the most talented... I hope other singers just don't sing, they should make their own song and play instrument on their own...that will be considered as talent...
Lembro o primeiro vinil que tive do Bread....escuto ele até hoje ! O que mais me intriga é a emoção que sinto até o dia de hoje passado mais de trinta anos !!! Obrigado DAVID por promover tamanha emoção aos fâs desta banda muito romântica......aos fâs um grande abraço ...byebye
I got to meet David when we were both going thru basic trainging at Ft Ord in 71 I had just completed it and was waiting for asecurity clearance ans was working CQ He came in and shyly asked if it might be ok to use my phone, I said sure. When he fiinished he said he appreciated being treated so decent (they harass the shit out of you at the start of basic) then asked if i knew the group Bread..I said sure and he smiled and I recognized him
@Danimalization Your name should be "dramatization" since you so easily lie. David Gates was never in the military, much less in 1971 when Bread was already famous.
@7188181 Sorry fools David did basic at Fort Ord in 1971 for National Guard duty. He came into the CQ office with hs friend and used the phone to set up a gig in Montery that weekend. So what if Bread was already famous idiot?, he faced the draft like eveone else and being in Bread wouldnt prevent induction then, all deferments like college were gone .
@7188181 You know people like you showing your ignorance and lack of manners is why the time back the had a much higher claiber of charcter and class and the lack of such now is covered over with immature displays of assumptions that you then think entitles you to make ignorant opinons and why the character of this country has gone to the shit hole
@MrBreadmaker1 Used a Thompson vocal eliminator VE4 in Mpls studio in Nov 2009 Will be doing solo concerts soon and one band is ready will be doing full concerts in Minnesota auditoriums under the name Manna
Both Mike Botts and James Griffin died? Sorry to hear that. I saw Bread perform at Bloomington, Illinois and Champaign, Illinois years ago. Always liked David Gates voice.
good god. i was just on another post of these guys the other day, and "someone" had quipped "RIP David" i couldn't believe it. so i asked youtubers to verify. someone posted back, and said, David Gates is NOT dead. I was so pleased to hear that. yes, I already know that James and Mike passed some years ago. now Larry? man, that is a real bummer. 3/4 of one of the greatest love ballad bands ever, gone. i am saddened to hear that. only david left. i know he's in his sixties now
I believe one of the founding members, Robb Royer, is still alive. So that makes it 3 of the 5 members have left. David Gates should tour again. His songs and its genre are real classics and are really beautiful and rare nowadays.
Oh, thanks, I needed to hear this tonight. I had the opportunity to see Bread in Las Vegas on this tour, and what a treat. I had a chance to meet them as well. What a lovely memory....RIP, Larry, Jimmy, and Mike....Take care of yourself, David.
Heard this on the radio today and just had to search YouTube. In the car. listening to the original, I was transported back to Intermedate School in the early 70s. Thank you for psoting this.
Loosing our youth seems so sad moving on to the senior years...these songs seem to reach our hearts and make us sad....but we love them...awesome, thankyou
thank so much for this VIDEO....i was still in high school then when i first heard this song...so memorable to me...thank you Bread, Thank you David Gates
I was born at least a good 13 years after Bread's height of popularity in the 70s. First song i heard was Baby i'm a want you in that movie Stuck on you. I liked the music so much i went and bought their cd and the first song was make it with you. From that song on, that was my favorite song ever.
I would pay a 100.00 a ticket just to see him play.
C'mon do a couple concerts, pick Detroit or chicago and i will be there.
Your awesome, not a better singer, songwriter, arranger in the business ever! The music now doesn't even come close. Your the most talented still in the business. Show them that you still have it! The younger guys could use an example!
You're very stupid. First of all, you can't spell and secondly, this song has absolutely no connection to Carole King or James Taylor. And this is not a cover, dumbass.
This is the original - David Gates wrote the music and lyrics, sang it and arranged and produced this track for Bread's second album. It was a No. 1 hit in the USA and, I think, No. 5 in the UK. Bread never did cover songs - they wrote all their own material.
I have a horrible feeling David has retired. After he cancelled a concert, giving family circumstances as the reason, I e-mailed his manager, Selwyn Miller, who said David and his family were fine and that it would be well advertised if he decided to do any further tours or concerts. However, reading between the lines, I think there was a family problem because Selwyn said that David had always known where his priorities were.
This is so true - and David's music gives me all the good things. He lives in San Diego - are you him? I can't believe you are, but it would be great if you were!
" happiness may come and go but memories last forever.. i missed my teen years, if i could only bring back yesterday... hu hu hu .... i missed my friends, my first love, etc...........
David's attire has been brought up before in the comments and is old news. You talk like he's wearing a clown costume or something. This is America and western attire has been worn by people for around 150 years. Why don't you just go comment on hip hop videos and ask why the gangstas wear pants with their ass crack showing.
Happy Birthday David thanks for listening to your dad when he said you should sing and write your songs. Your songs brings Wonderful memories! Sincerely, Doris

Oh, thanks, I needed to hear this tonight. I had the opportunity to see Bread in Las Vegas on this tour, and what a treat. I had a chance to meet them as well. What a lovely memory....RIP, Larry, Jimmy, and Mike....Take care of yourself, David.

I wasn't even in junior high when my dad got this album. But I played the heck out of it. Loved it then and love it now

I was born at least a good 13 years after Bread's height of popularity in the 70s. First song i heard was Baby i'm a want you in that movie Stuck on you. I liked the music so much i went and bought their cd and the first song was make it with you. From that song on, that was my favorite song ever.

I would pay a 100.00 a ticket just to see him play.
C'mon do a couple concerts, pick Detroit or chicago and i will be there.
Your awesome, not a better singer, songwriter, arranger in the business ever! The music now doesn't even come close. Your the most talented still in the business. Show them that you still have it! The younger guys could use an example!

Is this a caroll King's song, its a nice cover this is the first time I listened to them, James Taylor's version is also good
perfect1976j 2 years ago
You're very stupid. First of all, you can't spell and secondly, this song has absolutely no connection to Carole King or James Taylor. And this is not a cover, dumbass.

This is the original - David Gates wrote the music and lyrics, sang it and arranged and produced this track for Bread's second album. It was a No. 1 hit in the USA and, I think, No. 5 in the UK. Bread never did cover songs - they wrote all their own material.

What is david gates doing with himself these days? so long since a tour
napalm5 2 years ago
I have a horrible feeling David has retired. After he cancelled a concert, giving family circumstances as the reason, I e-mailed his manager, Selwyn Miller, who said David and his family were fine and that it would be well advertised if he decided to do any further tours or concerts. However, reading between the lines, I think there was a family problem because Selwyn said that David had always known where his priorities were.

David's attire has been brought up before in the comments and is old news. You talk like he's wearing a clown costume or something. This is America and western attire has been worn by people for around 150 years. Why don't you just go comment on hip hop videos and ask why the gangstas wear pants with their ass crack showing.

Probably the best 70's soft rock bands and still sound the same.
Along with Jim Croce a ray of light in a lame genre.
