BUDDY MILES - Them Changes

[TinaRocks19]

Damn, my mind is sure going through some changes, so I had to jam to this at least once today. One of the greatest songs of the 60's.

[limaformafuncion]

i was looking for this one!!! thnks dude! :D awesome song!!!!

[richardgification]

They don"t make music like this anymore, i"m sad about that but i wish they would, I"m from that era but know one of the new generation can dig it if maybe only a few.isn't it a pitty.

[richardgification]

When this album came out i bought it and i think it delivers soul groove rhythmn and blues at it finest. rock on buddy miles.

[BBQFanNo1]

[bdiamon13]

I saw him live in Honolulu 1970...yes yes yes he was fabulous to this day I love this music of his...they should rerelease all his stuff...................

[Dougie7023]

"I-I-I-I mean rules are like arbitary, you know? Made up for people who believe in fairytales. Like Santa Clause. Hey but not us right? I mean WE know whats important right? It's war going on. A WAR! Ain't that a bitch?"

[bigmattyp]

This album was the reason I got into collecting vinyl.

[surfstomp]

One of the best voices in R and B or in Rock.

[kwgthacher]

[Pr0fess0rSasquatch]

@tmwilliams54 Lol hell yeah, funky soul music is the best mobbin' music ever! I have a whole playlist with this, Earth Wind & Fire, Ohio Players, Edwin Starr, the Commadores - all that good stuff. I play it all the time when I walk and before I know it, I'm there! Only then I wanna keep walking 'cause I'm enjoying the tunes lol

[SkyeSpiral]

@NoRosesForMe You might also enjoy some of the Electric Flags music...Buddy was their drummer for a while...and they had a strong horn section too. They do a fantastic rendition of Killing Floor!

[NoRosesForMe]

@SkyeSpiral Oh yes definitely! hehe! xx I uploaded a Flag album on my channel a couple of years ago.(in playlist now) Awesome band. One of my big favorites! Thank you so much! ♥

[SkyeSpiral]

@NoRosesForMe So glad thay you even heard of The E.F. lol...some peeps would go "who?". I'll have to go thru my discography to refresh my memory about similar groups that you might enjoy checking out...lol...if you aren't already savy to them.

[YuriGee718]

surprised that on ones has sampled this yet......

[juanfcochavez]

pura inspiracion y talento juntos dificil de describir  jfch

[JazzConnoiseur]

Soul , Funk , and Rock n' Roll... all one !!

[honeysouldreamstar]

i feel just like comittin' a crime

[dcspaced]

I heard Buddy when he was drumming with Electric Flag. This track sounds a lot like them and I'm wondering whether it's Michael Bloomfield playing the guitar break. It sounds like somebody pretty good, whoever it is!

[SkidRowJosephine]

The BEST!

That negro could belt it!

[IanHunedoara8]

I remember trying to groove to Buddy in Supershow 1970 and my then-girlfriend was making fun of his man-boobs. That was rude.

[milliganstratman]

Buddy Miles Express played the Ramada Inn lounge in Kokomo, IN in the mid 80's. i was in highschool and didnt get to go....I heard ha had one of Jimi's strats w him and it was spray painted neon pink!

[Patchmagic88]

Now this is real music!!!

[SEPROMEX]

I'M JUST ABOUT TO START SINGIN THIS ONE ON MY OLDIES COVER BAND, WISH ME LUCK!!!!

[jameswharrisiii]

His recording of this cut, and its success on Billboard charts, were a direct contributor to and a major influence of later horn bands, most notably Tower of Power and Earth Wind & Fire.

[jameswharrisiii]

I saw Buddy do this live at the very first concert I ever went to, in Memphis, in 1971, opening for 3 Dog Night.. I immediately bought a bass guitar and a subscription to Rolling Stone magazine and never looked back.

[almightyfoe]

this is fucking amazing, better than jimi version in my opinion

[ringafella]

Catchy tune - The horns blew my mind !!!

[Gravyballs2011]

The horns are killer. .

[vladdrac88]

First time I danced to a whole piece of music at a party, seriously stoned. Me and the lady finished up to applause :)

[brothertee1017]

This song is one of those songs that make singing drummers so cool.

[TEFgolfer11]

WHO THE FUCK CLICKED THE MOTHER FUCKING DISLIKE BUTTON??!!?!?!!!?!!??! ILLLLLLLL KILLLL YOU!

[jamcgar]

What a great song and what a great musician, Buddy Miles.



[edejan]

Greatest dance song ever!

[harleyguywa]

[stewgotz1]

[sacalepuntaatulapiz]

Fue a principio de los anios 70s..que Buddy Miles y su banda,se presentaron en la ciudad de Stockton Ca.Y donde ademas estuvieron otras bandas como,Canned Heat,,,Fleetwood Mac..Alvin Bichop..entre otras..Este fue el ultimo concierto de bandas de rock,que se permitio al aire libre,debido a una bronca que hubo casi al final del evento.I was there..r.i.p. Buddy Miles...amor y paz !

[designermite]

Great. Love Electric Flag

[clockworkmike83]

Thank you for uploading this! Everytime I hear it I cant help but think of Formula 51( The 51st State) with Samuel L Jackson, best movie opening ever!

[mminer58]

back in the day , this was the sh*t!!!!!

[yourmaaama]

@mminer58 still is

[bendore07]

love ya man ; RIP !!!!!!!!!

[SouLoveReal]

I saw him at least 3 times back in the early to mid 1970s in Sacramento. He was one of those "legends" who would dare and SUCCEED at bringing the "rock" (mostly White) and "funk" (mostly Black) audiences together; ala, Sly & The Family Stone, Cold Blood, Tower Of Power, Rufus & Chaka Khan, War, Malo, Santana, The Chambers Brothers, and quite a few more. These artists were only the MUSIC... The real SHOWS -- the ACTUAL SHOWS-- were the AUDIENCES!!!

[uncblue92]

Marching tar heels at UNC got this goin at every basketball game. i'm playing tenor sax and we've got that sweet bass line rollin. great song

[gregboy59]

this song takes me back to my child hood! loved looking at that album cover while i grooved to the funky beat. loved thr fro and the kit!

[ezywonder]

I had this album and the one after it (which I can't find, just remember a jam called "Easy Greasy.")

He had a hell of a "look." That's when musicians were legends.

[blankandson]

I had one of his albums in college, the one with the same photo of his face on both front and back, but one of the photos had him winking. That album had several songs where his band just jammed for 4 or 5 minutes and those jams were worth the price of the album. Love to see if those tunes are on CD.

[BlueMediaGroup]

about to go play this at a jazz concert lol

[JonnyAlazka]

I came across this sweet tune at the beginning of this weird Sam L. Jackson movie called Formula 51, I think. I wanted to just skip to the end credits to find out who this was, but I made it through the flick first. Bad. Ass.

[VigorousjammerX]

MAN, listen to that funky bassline

[9musiclover9]

I'm new to Buddy's music, i listen to Band of Gypsys alot and often think he has such a great voice, so now i'm checking out his music, awesome stuff. But who wrote this? Hendrix or Buddy? Probably a stupid question lol

[rockomatic100]

In 1969, the Damnation of Adam Blessing, (a band I played bass with) was playing a week at a club called "Beavers" on Rush St. in Chicago. About midnight in walks Buddy Miles with his entire band. (They were scheduled to play the following week),

He asked if they could come up and do a song on our equipment. They got up and did "Them Changes", for about a half hour. Buddy came out from behind the drums and fronted the band, what a night... (Also in attendance, "The Plaster Casters of Chicago".

[ezywonder]

@rockomatic100

HOLY GOD !!!!!!!!!!

[psyne000]

Buddy's Big.

[jarekio]

I met Buddy Miles in Austin, Texas!!

[pbstratocaster]

If people wonder what a "drive" in music is,,,,, listen to this tune.``

[zymurgy8079]

[zymurgy8079]

[guitargold77]

Originally written and performed with Hendrix and Band of Gypsys

[ugotstobkidn]

Summer of 73 Kennedy Stadium in DC. Buddy, Jimmy Castor Bunch, Rare Earth, Maxayn, Mandrill, and Funkadelic. That was a concert.

[xxWoWGilleyePwnsxx]

@YukikoluvsShino4Eva Oh yeah marching band ftw. when we played the song it was only about 45 seconds long because it was cut so much and it moved at a faster tempo. Great song though

[YukikoluvsShino4Eva]

@xxWoWGilleyePwnsxx Yeah, we kinda did the same, but it's still awesome along with all of the other songs we play.

[cowbelltell]

[06hrhillbilly]

Every aspiring young drummer should have this photo on there wall. Buddy Miles, Drums covered in the american flag. Awsome

[stanthology]

This is true. I thought he was going to send his bass drum through the floor. And it was a good thing.

[vinegaroon1]

Buddy hits them skins like a ton of bricks. I like the horns too.

[VoMuzara]

i like this

[rillloudmother]

his beats are like a thousand tons of bricks.

[clockworkmike83]

Eveytime I hear this I cant help but think of Formula 51 ( The 51st State for my brothers across the pond)! If you dont get the reference? Go look it up, its the opening song with Samuel L. Jackson rocking the Fro smoking a fatty in his 72 Buick lol

[Bukdig]

The 60´s are over... Maaan.

[leegenix]

@Bukdig

Like Hell they are...

[jimsmithctc]

this was one of those "coming of age/watershed" albums for me. rise on, Buddy...

[CharlieGosh]

"Music died, it hurt my pride, but somehow I pulled through. Back in '72" Record exec's discovered there was much more money in tunesmithing out repetitive, dull crap that gets old in a month, then selling you more.

[idinmamma]

Love this song=) Makes me so f.... happy

[Klausspeedworks]

This man was kind enough to call me from Austin,Texas and sing this song to me on

 my birthday shortly before he passed.

[leegenix]

@Klausspeedworks

Wow, it does not surprise me. I too, am Texas and Texans are known to have the biggest hearts. Buddy Miles was a good man. I am glad to hear he did that for you. He was just saying his goodbyes when he called you. That is a lot of love there. Happy Birthday to you, as well.

Mr. Lee/Eugene

[ClassicRockMan95]

@Klausspeedworks LUCKY!

[bhertims]

@Klausspeedworks He was a great man

[cyoteblues]

@Klausspeedworks God bless. Im from this era. Buddy and Hendrix was fantastic New Years doing this song. I didn't think anyone could pull it off with out horns. But these super stars just smoked it. Any time I want to get a buzz or go back to that year I put this on. You are blessed to know this great artist.

[whitewitch13]

@Klausspeedworks Awwwwwwwwww how awsome was that ???

[peterjames314]

YES finally found this song

[highvoltaged]

fking huge bass!!!

[skatestyle100]

this song would fit perfect in a skate video

[anneallman1]

A great man and a great singer. I love those crazy Rogers drums! Too cool.

Where on earth has all the good music gone?

[loosestudios]

Buddy Miles died on February 26, 2008, at his home in Austin, Texas at the age of 60. According to his website he died of congestive heart disease, His sister and mother both died of the same illness.

It is known that his heart had certainly been struggling, working at only 15%, and his health had been consistently deteriorating over the past few months. According to friends, "he had turned off his defibrillator and was ready for heaven.

There was no funeral; Miles was cremated.

[srubiod9]

Sweet

[zwwwz12]

Very good

[nebricklioum]

I began learning drums ,hearing this kind of song , thanks Buddy

[970162cango]

My very first concert: Buddy Miles, Lee Michaels, and Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids! It was 1971 and I was to cool for school! 9 years old and it's still great music. I know for a fact that my 9 year old will not be re-visiting the stuff she's listening to when she's 50. Glad I lived to see it all.

[Notsosmartyarty]

That's what I'm talkin bout!

[ifencerboy]

does anyone know the bass line for this song?

[SpeakNoEvil123]

@ifencerboy listen to it...

[plangentmusic]

[YoungTrickah]

GNARLY classics

[Chark711]

My HS is playing this one two. Go cowbell!

[Klanjex]

I'm a Hardcore techno and a Psy Trance maniac... but this song is one of my all time favourites! Thx for posting m8! ;))

[DMaynardNelson]

We do this in my High School Jazz Band, except not nearly as awesome.

I play bass, and when I did it with a fuzz on to add in some of the originals badassness, I got yelled at so much! No matter, still a badass song.

[OlRetro]

Now, when Buddy sets himself down to ride that high-hat & sing, he stays focused til he's good and done. Excellent track - I've always loved this groove. Regards, The '62 Mathew St. Band (1 Man-Full Group Retro)

[ror312gallery19]

Funked up,,buddy

[hapzap13]

[JoshHateHero]

My best friends dad's blues band did a pretty awesome cover of this song. Search em on myspace music, theyre pretty good :D

[EarlyBirdie82]

our jazz band played this. it was amazing :)

[ramosfamilyhouston]

Love this album..thanks to my aunt that had this album when she was a teenage, 20yrs later I was handed the album. Buddy Miles at his best..from side 1 to 2

[RockNRollOverDose]

this song is underrated!

[kyolddude]

this is from 69 or 70-new years eve at the Fillmore

[tomthefunky]

No it's not. kyolddude. This is the original studio recording. Your thinking of the Band of Gypsy's album released in the late nineties.

[kyolddude]

@tomthefunky -i knew it was BOG-Thx for reply-Buddy rocks on

[jazzZjosh123]

@tomthefunky band of gypsy's came out while hendrix was alive. but yeah that was what he was thinking of. Filmore east came out like within the last 10 years something, and that collection includes the other show at that venue with the band of gypsy's

[tomthefunky]

Did Steve Cropper produce this?

[bluesonrock]

la version de Band Of Gypsys se va a la mierda,Hendrix con el Wah-Wah se va al carajo.

[forfelix48]

I was blessed to play on stage with Buddy several times, WOW when I turned back to the drums (I was the bassist) he looked massive and then an angel of a voice sprung from him and we were doing Down By The River, I will never forget...he was truly the best at what he did....oh well he's gone and I will be too, thank you Buddy...b

[Estoperole]

@forfelix48 nice, dude

[rosmia2]

@forfelix48 I used to play in a band back in the day that covered this tune. I loved playing the bass in this. One of my favorites.

[NoRosesForMe]

[Sumadinacvlada]

I love this song <3 I heared it at first time in " Remember Titans" Excellent movie ;)

[cabinda4ever]

People stop saying how much music has changed...and adapt to the changes.. your the same people who go to the club and dance to "your a jerk".. .. and if you don't then your too old....there's nothing i can do.

[BloodPigggy]

Pooter.

[keef69]

ok, you adapted yourself to lady gaga, britney spears, eminem, sean paul, madonna, ..... ; )

goooood for you !

please stop asking us ( like the majors ) , to adapt ourself to big pieces of shit , insults to the great musics that moves you without forcing ! the public used to choose. now, public has to adapt to wores who think that they can replace it by being sexy, but the public can resist. So go ! go hear your crap ! we will follow you ...

[keef69]

music has died because of some peoples like you who let the big companies fill them with shit, and now, good music is kinda "has been" everywhere because of this fucking atmosphear, and new groups don't need to do big efforts, don't need to be talented and reach the real deal. we don't necessarly need only musics of the past, but today we need some musics from today and the futur that would be at least as good as some of the past !!! this isn't the case at all, or rarely.

[koololdman]

This reminds me of my friend,gentle ben aka Hicks

[burundi17]

when i listen to this , i wonder my self how music did get so fuckt up haha
