@DetroiterInAustralia ...You have it right...this is a rare example of selfless musicianship. Where band mates are united in the search for the perfect groove and each play a very defined and limited role--sacrificing any desire to demonstrate showy, attention calling displays or solos, etc.

@lewars1912 My first choice was Scott McKenzie - San Francisco (etc). My great friend, Mike Connor, told me before he died at 39 years old, that this was his favourite track- I thought he's too young I thought. Nope - he used to play it every night when he shut the HMV store Glasgow. This ritual lasted over two years. It made Mike HAPPY before he went out for the night. That's exactly what it does for me.

These guys didn't keep going like I wish they would have. They rocked the sixties and early seventies! Interesting how far we've come from reel to reel to DVD now. Thanks for sharing!

@PalaverTwist Not true. They backed Neil Young on a world tour a few years back and were the backing band for 2 of the greatest concerts in Rock N' Roll Hhstory--The Bob Dylan Tribute Concert at MSG (known in rock legend simply as "Bobfest") and also the All star epic "Concert for the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame." They also still tour semi-regularly. In between, Booker T produced a few mega platinum albums, including Willie Nelson's "Stardust." I'll stop there--there's too much to type.
