Couldn't Get It Right, Climax Blues Band, Hamburg 2004

[redwoodowl]

I hope someone can answer this: is Colin Cooper playing a Selmer Mark VI sax? It sure does look like one...

[dreampolice65]

rock on sir!

[loonyranger]

My eldest sister went to school with Colin. I remember seeing him having a drink in The Nesbitt and saying to my mates 'wow, that's Colin Cooper there'. Great band and RIP Colin.

[robin56]

can't hear it

[chriszado]

love it ..

yes



[dvdjjb]

My first "real" concert was in 1979, Climax Blues opened for Peter Frampton. Both acts were awesome and will always have a special place in my heart!!! Also, first time I saw girls flash at the styage, I was a VERY young 14, and a VERY excited one as well...RIP..

[Deetroiter]

How cool would have that been if the singer wore a wig that looked just like his old 1970's hair lol...

Thanks for this awesome performance

[xawesomegirlx1]

This video makes me cry. RIP Grandpa, there are so many people down here who miss you an who are remembering you through song. That's how it should be.

All the positive comments about Colin Cooper are great, an let me tell you he was a great great man. I can imagine him playing this back to me and my brother and cousins and telling us about it. Sadly he died too soon to do that.

Love you so much Grandpa -3

[ZosoHacker]

@xawesomegirlx1 That's sad. He was a great talent.

[fvhastings]

@xawesomegirlx1 Colin nailed this song for sure

[Louisvillebilly]

[mrchaddavid33]

Yes it was...he is no longer with us now.

[tgtatro]

Is this the same long haired guy from the 70's singing?

[smokersblend]

legend with an amazing voice

[dreampolice65]

this is the good stuff...why dont they make music like this anymore?..thank you mr.cooper

[MsRachel1961]

Went to see them on this tour and they were still superb live. All band members were happy to stop, chat and have their photo taken with you after the gig. Great bunch of guys.

[ray2355]

Thirty years later. the voice is rougher but still awesome. Still love "Climax Blues Band".

More songs to look for: "I Love You". "Cuttin' Up Rough". "Shake It Lucy".

The last one is hard to find. Don't forget "Last Chance Saloon".

Awesome band!

[slowhand1206]

Great to see the great Les Hunt still around,what a brilliant

guitarist this guy is.

Rock on Les

[George5man]

he was friends with my grandad , he told me whenever he came off tour he'd come into the local buy everyone a drink and was the nicest bloke you could meet :'(

[anectine17]

Always like CBB and this song, but Colin should have given it up long before this 2004 effort. His once smooth voice is rough and gravelly and he's just trying way too hard here. Some old rockers can keep it going 30-40 years later...Colin wasn't one of them. God bless and RIP, Colin.

[znogypogy]

@anectine17 i thought he still sounded pretty good here.

[TheGirlCrush]

Wow, he still had a great voice. :P~

[angryniggah]

funky as shit...timeless

[0903993]

I really like his deep voice, its absolutely excellent :D

[pikeman07]

Steve Gibbons is certainly a legend :)

[tigerfeet666]

fuck this is REM

[MrDucatif1]

Colin,I know you got it right and are now looking down on us thru the light!

[ColdRolledSteel]

simply love this band

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

Sad to hear Cooper died. He was the voice and soul of Climax Blues Band.

They've still got it in this video decades later.

First live show I ever saw was Climax Blues Band opening for Marshall Tucker Band in 1978 here in the USA. It was a great show. Sorry to learn of Colin's passing. He was a really cool guy. I'll never forget him.
