Stax Volt Tour of Norway 1967 - PART 3 OF 6

[2maxxjazz]

Never stop loving this music !!! 58yrs old on 23rd Sept 2011.

[captainchaos74]

no bullsh*t, no glitzy effects, no mahoosive PA system, endless foldbacks and autocues.... just talented musicians with a whole lotta soul. I love it!

[sammyselmer]

I saw Sam & Dave twice in college... 1970. University of VA, then again when the girl I was dating at Madison College invited me up. Just fantastic music.... and a great weekend!

[johnbharris]

That's just total pro stuff there. So excellent.

[zshoonander]

imagine having to follow up sam and dave

[wizdamn]

Duck Dunn is the man.

[leejoliver]

Double Dynamite!

[jonataneriksen]

Flea of the 60's : D

[pmwxy3]

@jonataneriksen

Flea's got nothing on Duck Dunn.

[jonataneriksen]

@pmwxy3

I agree, his headmovements though, ala 3:30 could be Flea in the 60s;)

[spindip32]

Stax is legendary. Love that song Soothe Me. Born a little too late (1973) to see any of these folks live, but love the music. Can stand the RnB mess out today.

[mattyp3400]

they should get this act for the super bowl halftime show next year

[markeesmith]

And let's not forget the GREAT Al Jackson! Damn!

[markeesmith]

@tomthefunky The Duck still doesn't get the credit he deserves...he's just known in bass circles...bassists that are a little more eclectic know who he is. Duck implemented simple yet incredibly effective bass playing. In my opinion that's the mark of a great bassist. And NO ONE does it better than the Duck. The list of players he has influenced is endless. I don't know if I'd play bass as much as I do if it wasn't for the Duck. So inspiring.

[tomthefunky]

@markeesmith: Couldn't have said it better myself. Although I'm a guitarist, I think most bass players don't get enough credit for their contributions. It seems people just don't listen to bass like they do other instruments. Something about the low frequency just doesn't register with the average person. It takes work to listen to a bassist.

Oh, yeah, I met Duck once. Total asshole!! Maybe I just got him in a bad mood but, damn, he was a dick to his fans. Steve and Booker were great guys.

[markeesmith]

@tomthefunky What a bummer! Hopefully Duck just needed some coffee or a cigarette. His bass playing is tops!

[mattyp3400]

@markeesmith im a drummer and he in my opion is the best well if not my favorite bass player of all time

[japcrack712]

funky azzzz band!

[sammyselmer]

The first soul song I ever heard was in 1964: Carla Thomas's B-A-B-Y. I instantly became a soul man! With that driving bass and a killer horn section, soul music transcends all languages and cultures. In 1968-70 I had the great chance to meet Booker T, Sam & Dave, and Carla Thomas at various concerts. Between the Beatles and Soul Music, I am so glad to have grown up in the 60s!

[cpasgentil]

ETERNAL MUSIC. I have always loved it.

My parents liked it, I do A LOT and my children too.

From Morocco

[andross61]

Hey what drums is Al using in this concert? They look like the Gretsch round badge to me.

[star1923]

@andross61

Dont know, but the drumkit was lend from the norwegian group Vanguards.

Short interview with with the drummer here - forty years after.

[nikshmenga]

Sam and Dave were the best part of the show (sorry, Otis).

[recordguy4321]

Duck Dunn and Al Jackson=GROOVE!!!!

[scorpio2k]

please keep making your timely comments people who were around then! we young 'uns live through your memories!

[beebandloz]

Again another person watching this who was too young. I'm 17 so I wasn't around to watch these greats!

[emoedison]

Duck Dunn pogoing and handbanging like a hardcore kid 20 years too soon. LOVE IT.

[deanage69]

Real entertainment. Nobody alive can touch this. Talent, heart, guts!

[waffen2]

al jackson was shot , so sad, what a great drummer. hell, they were all great

[JohnStuartWade]

Yeah that really upsets me. His drumming was ALWAYS on beat, and he was the only person to make the snare drum sound liks pistol shots.

[swade347]

Al Jackson is just a awesome drummer

[tomthefunky]

Stax Rules the World!!!!!

[mattyp3400]

What an amazing performance one of my favorites of alltime by any artist

[PoohShoes]

I wish I could have been at this gig, but I guess I was born 30 years too late! pure SOUL! All the performers are wicked, and the MG's are ripping it up!... Thanks so much for posting this.

[bluesgirl62]

¨This is Wonderful!!!!

[redSuikoden]

Booker T & thh MG's... March 21st in The Netherlands... Hold On, Here I come!

[nicholas0325]

lol.. i love how duck dunn looks in these old videos. quite the baby-face..

[latin4buttercup]

@nicholas0325 duck dunn was adorable in these videos... also proving that a bassist can seem just as if not more talented than the big, shredding, lead guitar

[cobwebhead]

I got to see Sam & Dave in NYC in the 80's. After the show (and many drinks) I cornered Sam to profess my undying and eternal worship. After blathering and slobbering for several minutes, Sam finally cut me off and said "Son, I don't know how to break it to you, but I'm not the real Sam". :O

Turns out, Sam was on the west coast touring with a phony Dave while Dave covered the East Coast touring with a phony Sam... Oh well

[nicholas0325]

haha, awesome story..

[CaptainBastard99]

This made me smile :o)

[biglinguist]

@cobwebhead

Aaah, this happened to me, too, in Montreal! But it was still a pretty good show.

[Racki123]

@cobwebhead at least he was honest, but that sure would break my heart.

[kheire007]
