  • a version to rival laura nyro, glad i found this vid!

  • No, without Chuck there's still a Three Dog Night. Its just not THE THREE DOG NIGHT!

  • WITHOUT CHUCK. THERE"S NO 3 DOG NIGHT!

  • You're still the best "Chuck'"! You got it man.

  • He has a great voice, probably the best of the 3. However, I just saw (Three Dog Night - 1) this past Saturday night (10-1-2011) and they were excellent. It would be a treat to hear them together again. I haven't seen Chuck live, and do want to. I believe there are songs that "Three Dog Night" don't perform because without Chuck, they can't give it justice. They did not perform "Eli's Coming" or "Pieces of April". I will say that the only one that could perform solo is Chuck. Corey's good.

  • @thugthumper1 Cory sings lead in the original "Eli's coming" not Chuck.

  • @teegaro Ok....I wonder why they didn't perform "Eli's Coming" when they were at a concert about 7 weeks ago. That is a big hit, I would imagine.

  • @thugthumper1 -Last year they did !( and did a great job still , just google the video , someone has posted it ) this year I think they squeezed in some new songs on their lists , so"Eli" got bumped.

  • Does anyone know when this video is from?

  • Chuck has one helluva set of pipes. He WAS Three Dog Night! None better!

  • This video is really well done.

  • THOSE 2 JACKASS'S REFUSE TO PERFORM WITH CHUCK. TALKING ABOUT CUTTING OFF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE. THAT REUNION TOUR WOULD SELL OUT ACROSS THE COUNTY! ALL ABOUT THEIR EGOS-SO DUMB!

  • He does a great lead on this song. I think I like this rendition better than Cory's.

  • Chuck and Laura Nyro who was Laura Nigro back then both grew up in the same Bronx neighborhood, Chuck was a bit older but I went to Wade Junior High with her and used to hear him singing doo wop with his friends on 170th street and The Grand Concourse ,Bronx on summer nights.

    Eddie Black, lead /first tenor The Five Sharks

  • Chuck's stil got the muse!

  • The bass player is his son.

  • Laura Nyro WROTE this Song!!!!

  • Laura Nyro also recorded this song.

  • Just not as good as Cory singing this.

  • Chuck still ROCKS!! I remember seeing them in the 70's. Still dig their music. Great to see Chuck still out there sharing his gift with lots of fans.

  • Wonder if Chuck ever has seen the Hutton and Wells 3 Dog Night Tribute Band. So sad.

  • YeP!!! the HOT one lol-Glad to see he beat the drug demons and is doing great!!!

  • Let tyhe music guide you Chuck!

  • This guy went to hell and back. It's great to see him perform again.

  • Chuck still has it! TDN wouldn't have been what they were without Chuck Negron! He is & was always the voice of TDN!

  • Wish they would get back together

  • this isn't the easiest one to do live. they did a good job here. Chuck put together a pretty good band.

  • isn't one of these dudes his kid?

  • @hadd13 Someone told me that the bass player is his stepson?

  • @echoNpapa That's true, The bass player is indeed his son. Saw them last week their great.

  • @echoNpapa The bass player is the son of Berry Oakley who was bass player for the Allman Brothers Band. He is Berry Oakley Jr. and he is Chuck's stepson.

  • And to think he was fried on herion for 20 years. You'd never know.

  • Chuck played in my town about a year ago. The who show was high energy. and Chuck sang all the hits.They sounded great on every song! And then, I thought to myself, that if 2 dog night came here tomorrow, I wouldn't bother to go see them. I just don't believe they could top Chuck Negron's band. And as far as I'm concerned, Chuck Negron is the face, and voice of Three Dog Night anyway. So, Do It Chuck !

  • Chuck has a great and clear voice!

    The original TDN had three distinctive voices !

    Need Three voices as TDN.They will be 68 years in 2009.

    NO TIME for them!

    Get together AGAIN~~~

  • Just got major chills down my spine with the opening ....thx Chuck!

  • OMG Chuck is the greatest... Eat your heart out Danny and Cory... Nothing like Chuck... Glad to hear Floyd is on board too. Hope to get to see you sometime. When are you coming to Southern Ohio?

  • LOVE Chuck Negron & he's still got it. Rock on!

  • Still hoping to see Chuck with Three dog Night, just for one concert !

  • Eli from Ukiss? hahah

  • Chuck IS and always HAS BEEN three Dog Night, check out ETBH and Midnight Runaway.

  • "Very Tight Rockin Band": Reminiscent of Them back when :THREE DAWG NITE.. Allright........

  • His voice has definately held up well. Hell...put this performance up against the "current" TDN playing the same song...I think this one wins!

  • Chuck IS TDN!

  • Actually, both Wells and Negron were both huge voices, just depends on the hit. Too bad they cant find a way to three-unite....shit, they'd be playing Vegas and such.. The music was THAT good.

  • I love TDN and Chuck, but the original version by Laura Nyro is the best. It's unplugged and very soulful. Don't get me wrong, I love this video, thumbs up!

  • I respectfully disagree! IMHO it was always Cory Wells - Chuck was important but Cory was the main force. Imho. For video proof check out the youtube vid of Cory singing Try A Little Tenderness in 1975.

  • IMHOP Chuck hs always been THE VOICE of TDN. I have seen TDN without Chuck. They still sound good, but just DON'T sound the same.

  • IMHOP Chuck has always been THE VOICE of TDN.

  • @sweetsueohio Not totally correct. It took all three to make the sound. The blend was second to none. I hope and wish for at least a reunion show someday. Read Chuck's book and you will know why they do not perform together. It would be an awesome show, 5 of the 6 original members on the road. I met chuck and he said he would like to see it to, but there are behind the scene issues.

  • @realfoneguy 3 Dog Night is touring this summer, Playing NJ with the Doobie Bros.

  • @FogerRox @FogerRox That may be true, but Chuck is not in the group. It is billed as 3 Dog Night, but will only have Cory and Danny singing. If you go, you will find it an awesome show, but do remember they are all getting older. Cory and Danny own the rights to the group's name and are the only one's that can perform as such. Chuck must use small lettering when reffering to his time with TDN in print. He must also use the term FORMER.

  • @realfoneguy Thats a shame. Thanks. All 3 had good voices, that were slightly different from each other, giving them the ability to sound complimentary to each other. Of course Chuck had a little better technique and good power in his upper range, which still shows in these newer videos, he can still belt it out, and make it look easy.

  • The true sound of Three Dog Night.

  • Just LOVE the "then" & now!!!! (wink!!)

  • Chuck was the voice of Three Dog Night. You could hear him on all their songs. Great to see him performing again. Keep it up Chuck.

  • I AGREE!!! Let's get Three Dog Night back together!!!! Just heard their greatest hits CD & it is FABULOUS!!!!!!

  • @calligal55 The only way to do this is to convince Cory to bury the hatchet. Lots of betrayal and hurt from the past with all due respect to Chuck, it is unfortunate that Cory and Danny can't forgive and move on. They were at one time "Great Friends". Cory and Danny have to let loose of the purse strings as well. They won't get Chuck for free.

  • OMG! (to coin an overused abbreviation.) I am blown away by his voice and by this performance. His voice is like the fine raw silk! WOW! AAAmazzzinggg!

  • We should all start a write-in campaign that we want to see Three Dog Night reunite!

  • Chuck, you still have "IT". And given the number of years gone by, that's saying a heck of a lot.

  • Do it Chuck !

  • Chuck Negron ABSOLUTELY ROCKS!

  • Comment removed

  • saw them live in 68' !

  • Damnnnnnnnnnnnnn you are BACK ! What a voice ... super fantastic band too !

    wowowowowowow great peformance !

    How I wish you were back with 3DN but this band is just amazing !

    Congratulations...You are SO back.

  • Amazing! Chuck has ALWAYS been the better part of 3 Dog. Good on ya Chuck!

  • He sings Cory better than Cory ! TDN never would have made it without Chuck in the first place !

  • Hey, I like Chuck as much as anyone, but Cory Wells owns this song. He's got the blues / R&B element to his voice the Chuck has never had. Just like Cory will never have the high soaring quality of Chuck. It's what made the original TDN work. All three vocalists were distinctive.

  • I agree. I am a major three dog night fan and my favorite was Chuck. Their distinctive voices is what made them great. Chuck does a great job on this but it's definitely Cory's song. It would be like Cory doing "One"

  • @yerboyfloyd totally agree. Cory Wells had the serious chops and was the main force in TDN. Chuck was great, but Cory was totally the man.

  • @acecheeto Honestly... Except for Chuck on Chuck's original parts, this sounds like some lightweight 80's synth band doing a ciover of Eli's coming. 

    Compare this to the 7 minute Two Dog version of a couple of years ago, and you realize how key Jimmy and Michael are to the orginal sound too. It rocks WAY-WAY harder than this - not just on Cory's vocal but on the guitar work too.

    You just wish the boys could patch it up one last time.

  • Chuck is great. "nuff said

  • Berry is great!

  • I agree totally agree with everything DaddyClb said. I just saw Danny and Cory perform this past May and they do not have THE LIFE this man has. Flat lined. I left sad. I just finished Chucks book and am in shock he is alive and doing SO FABULOUS! Cant wait to see him live again!!

  • Very clever use of old & new footage...really enjoyed that. And Chuck sounds as good as ever, especially considering what he's been through. The man should be dead. He's a walking miracle and a testiment that there's hope for hopeless dope addicts everywhere! Keep jammin', Chuck!!! Show Cory & Danny that you don't need them...THEY NEED YOU!!!!!!

  • Chuck will be appearing Saturday night of Columbus Day week-end in Woonsocket

    R.I. at Autumnfest.....

  • I believe it was chuck's drug use. He was simply wasted a lot of the time. In an interview he stated he found God and got clean.

  • The Bass player is living proof that Julia Densmore slept with Paul Mcartney

  • That is exactly the one,i was there because i live three miles the Finger Lakes Race Track.

  • Chuck is still the greatest,but he should join back up with the group.This past week they were in Western New York,and i missed seeing him sing.

  • They appeared just outside of Rochester, in Farmington at Finger Lakes racetrack. Is that the appearance you're talking about? You can still see The Grassroots there in a few weeks (first Wednesday in August, I think).

  • Good version of this song. The only week thing is the harmony. Just not the same without Cory & Danny.

  • Saw Danny and Cory a few months ago. Seems something was missing. Kick ass music though. They will always rock. I think Chuck has the best voice though.

  • negron has a great voice, but the other guy sounds better on this one.

  • Does anybody know, was there some kind of war between the three guys in Three Dog Night? What was it about??

  • I was about to ask the same ? Cory & Danny's 3DN are scheduled for Hot Springs this summer but I just don't see myself making it because I've seen em in Little Rock but if Floyd & Chuck were there so would I. I think drug abuse destroyed there relationship according to the VH1 behind the music Doc.

  • Chuck Negron wrote a fascinating biography called "Three Dog Nightmare". In it, he explains everything that happened with TDN, including his years of heroin addiction, that caused him to be fired from the band and never return. He lost everything and the book chronicles his long journey back from hell. He is truly a walking miracle!!! I'd love to see him rejoin TDN, but am convinced that's never gonna happen. Too bad...he's still my favorite singer out of the three. You'll love the book!

  • @keed48 WAR? Yea there was years of drug abuse and all kinds of things. Find a book called Three Dog Nightmare by Chuck. I think I would be angry with him as well, but I would surely forgive him later in life. There is no doubt that Chuck was the driving voice, but the remaining 2 along with Jimmy and Mike make an awesome show. 5 of the 6 original members are still active. I only hope for a reunion someday.

  • @keed48 Constant heavy drug abuse, but Danny was in it as well and he did not get thrown out, but he cleaned up where Chuck kept doing drugs. The agreement was to clean up or loose and be kicked out of the group and some of his rights were taken away, but they play each other's songs with no dispute.

  • Emil kills this .....not bad tho'

  • go chuck great voice

  • Chuck Negron was and is . . just the best rock vocalist! Good gosh!!

  • He sounds one hundred percent awesome to me.....just alittle less pretty, but it's appropriate for the song. He's awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • chuck negron was and always will be the VOICE of TDN!!

  • Today's Chuck Negron who can out-sing them all! Berry Oakley who Chuck raised as his own son on bass. His biological father was Berry Oakley Sr. of Allman Bros. Band who died in a motorcycle accident.

    This is a beautiful performance and video.

  • Berry (his son on bass) is so nice looking!

  • written by a chick

  • Comment removed

  • Written by the late great Laura Nyro. She also wrote "And When I Die" by Blood Sweat and Tears, "Stone Soul Picnic" by The Fifth Dimension, "Stoney End" by Barbara Streisand", etc. The list goes on.

  • Thats his son playing bass.Sounds fantastic.Chuck is a miracle!

  • Berry is his step-son. Berry's father was Berry Oakley of the Allman Brothers Band

  • Great video! It would be so great to see the 3 of them perform together again : )

    Why are they not in the Hall of Fame???????

  • Politics

  • Chuck sounds really strong here. Credos to his band members. The missing voices of Cory and Danny are really hard compete with. Good live version!

  • Cory Wells always did the "LEAD" vocals on this song.

  • Comment removed

  • @Nina2560 I'd much rather look at Cory back in the day because he completely blows Chuck outta the water when it comes to this song and quite a few others.

  • @eva89117 it took me a while, but........I agree with you 100%

  • he does look well...great video, thanks

  • Chuck looks so great here! Wonder if he creaks and groans like I do in the morning now that we're older?

  • This was a great vidoe of Chuck! Who ever put this video together did a great job. I love the older clips added in of him in Three Dog Night. Very well put together. Chuck puts on an amazing performance!

  • he looks messed up at 1:42

  • I just saw the whole video that that clip came from--Danny doesn't look so good, either

  • Chuck singing 'Eli' is just wrong!

  • Chuck look's great, but it's just not the same with out Cory's voice on this........Chuck is sounding better, than some video's I have watched now he is solo.
