He was Holy. Us Georgia hillbillies knew a man when we saw him. Absolutely real deal. Keen horseman. Good farmer work ethic was beyond control .100% real deal. Beautiful man.
WOW. At the 19:00 mark, Eric Burdon is looking at Otis and thinking "bloody hell, Im singing with Otis Redding" Brian Jones once said after seeing Otis live, "the Stones are a great live band, but you couldn't pay me a million dollars to follow Otis on stage" My fave singer ever. He's gives it his all, he's passionate and he's honest. No B/S. Aspiring singers, take note of said qualities.
Eric is the one who persuaded the producer to give Otis the gig, i know this won't sit well with Otis purists but at the time Burdon was much the bigger name.
@@lechatel 1- where did I criticize Eric Burdon? 2- Where did I say Otis was bigger then The Animals. I love the Animals, but I am positive that even Eric Burdon would say that Otis was the superior artist. It’s not even close. That has nothing to do with being a purist or not. Health and happiness
I remember watching this when it was broadcast and all these years later, I still think it's one of the best performances I've ever seen. Otis was on fire, that day.
RSG was a very special programme...way ahead of it's time. I remember watching this in late summer 1966....I could not believe my good fortune. The King....Otis....the amazing Stax backing (actually probably fronting!).....and the only two blue eyed soul singers worthy of being on stage. Legendary. Respect.
Without Eric Burdon Otis wouldn't havw got the gig. Eric was an established star on the show and Vicki Wickham- who booked the talent for RSG - said Eric had been persuading her over and over to get Otis on. (He wasn't really mainstream at all at that point in the UK.) Eventually she caved and this is the result.
I performed All Otis Redding music in Albany CA during this period at the Starlite club with full band . I played the trumpet. Still performing today, playing guitar John Denver Music over 45 years and my greatist performers today
I just remember watching this show when it originally went out. I was 8 years old and had a childhood illness, measles I think and my mum allowed me to watch. I think it planted a seed for the love of soul, jazz and funk which still lives in me.
With all due respect, Sir, you Or others, spent money on this crap, otherwise it would have faded into oblivion, By Now. In other words, stop supporting bullshit. The youngsters? Maybe they don't know any better, but you old head's? No excuse...
I watched this as a 14 year old and was blown away, yes Otis, Chris and Eric were on top form but play this again and listen to the band, oh lordy...the stars of the show.
Watched it broadcast live in 1966 as student at Strawberry Hill, Twickenham. I’m nearly 76 now. Still think it’s the best music TV show I’ve ever seen.
This is easily the greatest live performance ever seen on tv. The band are amazing, especially the drummer, the other singers, Farlowe and Burdon are excellent but just support for the man himself. Unforgettable ,what a performer!!!
Otis redding was 24 when he died. He was a professional singer from the age of 14 to 24,and there is nobody better. He e en understands how good a singer Chris Farlow is, and not understand that

I've thought for a long time now that I didn't need to hear My Girl anymore since it's so overplayed...and then comes *this* version! Killer band and Otis just smashes it...and just like that I've got tears rolling down my cheeks...pure gold!
I keep coming back to this vid- have for years. Just makes me feel so happy. Otis, Little Richard, and Wayne Cochran all came from Macon, GA. This is TALENT. No pyrotechnics, flashy stage effects, or modern concert amenities, just great music from legendary artists.
Wonderful Show. 54 years later I still remember riding my Lambretta up to my friend Grahams house on the way to college and him coming to the door and telling me Otis was dead, just like yesterday, makes me feel just as sad today as it did that day.
I was born in my 260Z my father always had Two,,66' convertible convertible mustangs, and of course, the 8 Track tape player, HAULING ASS UP AND DOWN I-95,,,, OTIS REDDING BLASTING,,,!!!!!!!!!
My mother told me and nineteen sixty-seven my mother my aunt and my dad was sitting in a convertible Ford Fairlane, and the News came over the radio but Otis Redding died and my mom told me that my dad and mom aunt Cried,,, and yes of course they were drinking, 🍸😎😉,
I can go with any running song verbatim nearly perfectly, not going to be perfect, because no one could ever be Otis Redding .. As a matter of fact, Otis Redding and James Brown, were the epitome of soul in 1960s, (often in competition but nothing like today they had respect) R.I.P. DADDY. YOU REST IN PEACE DADDY AND ALL MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE OUT THERE..... I got this 💗💗💗💗💗-----thank you BPUY
Otis Redding and Eric Burden live from London? Can it get any better than this...in the sixties we knew it was the best of times for music and will never be better! How right we were.
The fantastic Otis Redding. One of a kind brilliant singer and performer. Totally electric shows. Love the drummer in this RSG London show. Otis is sorely missed by all soul music lovers. RIP Otis.
I'm only twenty and I grew up to this music. He feels every word and note he voices.... Real music. My kids will grow up on this Otis Redding., Bill Withers., Sam Cooke., Al Greene., Percy., Ben E King., and the many other legends... It builds strength of character.
What a fabulous show! And none of it mimed! That band was so hot! No monitors and a rudimentary PA made up for by truckloads of talent. One of the greatest events in pop music TV history.
Outside of James Brown and The Famous Flames, Otis led the most exciting band to grace a stage in the mid-60s. The Stax house band of Booker T and The MGs were utterly unstoppable during this period. With Al Jackson on drums and Donald Dunn on bass, this was one of the greatest rhythm sections ever recorded. Anybody who saw Otis live in London in 1966 have all said it was a life-changing experience. After nearly fifty years, it is easy to see why.
+Rob Jones In my humble opinion otis and the stax house band (Booker T and The MGs!)were better than Brown and if he had lived would have been the biggest soul star ever.peace out
I watched him practice this show at the Macon Recording Studio for two nights prior to doing this show on the road...... I miss my soul brother so much.......
+RON Dennis Wheeler fantastic footage, you can see how excited this crowd is and I think he was pretty unknown here but The Ready Steady Go thought he deserved a special. They also highlighted Motown
Wow.....priceless stuff!! The band is amazing, the drummer especially is just killing it! And what can you say about the GREAT Otis Redding, yet another astonishing talent who was taken away from us much too soon.....
Absolutely...I could scarcely believe my eyes and ears when I saw this for the first time. Interestingly, many people, from hearing him, assumed Chris was black. Otis: no doubt at all....The King.
This takes me back. I think the Birmingham 'Mods' favoured Lambrettas (mine was a TV200) and the London Mods favoured Vespas. Don't know if this was right though. ... ride racing bikes now !!!!!
This was a fucking amazing concert even by 2019 standards! The amount of talent and energy in this show is ridiculous!! Would have loved to experience this live.
Thank you for this. The chaotic energy in these performances is a far cry from today's carefully choreographed shows. And the finale is explosive. Best thing I've seen in a long time.
2021 come on don't let this music fade away - don't let people divide us - I'm from the usa, fell in love with the Beatles and meanwhile your falling in love Otis - we're music loving people. Man the bass on these songs...whew!! Eric's so cool ~
Oh dear, this dates us all if we remember it! I do. I remember just having to watch RSG before the weekend to check on the music, the fashions and the latest dances. You just could NOT afford to be out of date when you ran with the in crowd!! But, hey, they were great times, best time to be young.
Someone once asked Bill Graham who or what was the greatest musical act he had ever seen. Without a second of hesitation he said hands down Otis Redding.
I'm of that generation and the first record i bought was Otis. The music i hear now makes me laughing. This performance together with Monterey are the best
It's kind of odd. I tend to like today's music. Current music. Blah blah blah. But one of my favorite CDs to blast in my car... Is The Best of Otis Redding. Good lordy. That man could sing. Just love that man so much.
I don't know how I managed to miss this when it was shown back in the 60s, but it was way before the era of being able to just press a button to see a repeat! Certainly the best live music show of that period.
Timeless. What a singer and performer. The world lost a great talent when Otis passed on. This concert, the energy, the delivery, the presence is incredible.🎵. R.I.P Mr Redding. 🙏❤️.x
Just awesome from start to finish! Thanks a million for finding and posting the whole show. I'd only seen relatively small, tantalisingly fantastic, parts before. I'm not entirely sure if it is all live as I thought RSG was mainly mimed, but it all looks live to me. Either way, it has to be one of the greatest performances ever!
Otis and band showing how it done blown the roof off with a powerhouse horn section and a drummer driving the kit like an FI Ferrari hot stuff this is amazing .
Sweet mercy, what a line-up. Otis delivers, as usual, and Eric Burdon was fantastic. I didn't know who Chris Farlowe was, but he is proof you can't judge a book by its cover.
There hasn't and never will be any singer like Otis Redding. The very first record I owned was Shake on the blue stax label. I was 12 years old when Otis died, it was listening to Shake that got me into Northern Soul and inspired me to become a DJ and I worked at various clubs in and around Manchester. Thank you for posting this piece of history, a tribute to the god of soul. stay safe J.
@@patfitzpatrick4209 Totally agree. Made me become a musician.. Outstanding band started s whole new sound that Atlantic Records copied.For sure the most soulful voice!
I remember watching this, and then going to see the Stax tour when it came to Leicester in 1967. Didn't we have some great music. I've often wondered what Otis would have done later in his career. Such a sad loss. Thanks for putting this up.
The same here i was 7.The day i fell in love with soul Amazing a whole show devoted to one artist at 6pm on a friday night The great Otis never bettered
There were a lot of British singers who were content to stay on the continent and develop their careers with not much interest in America. I'm not sure if Farlowe ever performed in America. T.S McPhee, JoAnne Kelly, Duster Bennett and several others were either not interested in going across the Atlantic or were not managed properly enough to make the trip.
He was Holy. Us Georgia hillbillies knew a man when we saw him. Absolutely real deal. Keen horseman. Good farmer work ethic was beyond control .100% real deal. Beautiful man.
❤❤❤❤👑👑👑👑💯
His widow never remarried… she stated “how could I !???”
You are so lucky to see him. I was hoping to hear "tramp' here
He sounds as if he is in the studio while it live.what a talent. No computer no voice editor. Just pure voice
This is real soul
One of a kind
yes bro. real soul lives and breathes the _______ spirit. PEACE AND LOVE.
Otis Redding. He's like a tornado of sound, energy and joy. Blows me away every time I watch him.
Yes!
Such a soulful voice. Very moving.
@@billrobbins5874 ..
❤✌
Yes!!!!!
The energy is just off the charts. Unbelievable performance.
One of the best live performances in all history? I say YES.
Sounds as good or better than his recorded albums.
This and the James Brown TAMI Show performance are the best live RUclips performances.
Chris Farley, with the, "scream," at 18:46.
Correction: Chris Farlowe.
And they call today's R&B. This is soul R&B all performed by the greatest ever . Otis, Eric and Chris . What a time for real music.

Just phenomenal! Those of us who grew up in the ‘60’s were so blessed with the incredible music that was being created back then.

When Otis was in the room, things just always took a turn for the FUNKY. All hail, The King Of Soul, taken from us far too soon.
BettinaBalser to
One of THE finest gigs I've ever seen. Otis, his band, the audience. Everything.
RIGHT?!? I cannot believe some people actually downvoted this. :-(
We sure are missing out today. Hey, is the band Booker T & the MG's? How chilled, awesome and tight are they?
This was London. England 1966, baby!!!!
This was not called 'Swinging London' for nothing, from 63' to 68'.
Wow! I cannot believe Mr. Redding was only in his early twenties! RIP! All that talent at a young age.
This is Power ..undiluted raw soul
How can anybody dislike Otis?...
+Cindy Gonzalez because they are assholes
+Cindy Gonzalez if they dislike God, its not that Otis is God, of course, but he is of God
hope God can have me shaking my ass,and if not he'll call Big"O out to do it!

True man
I sang this version (badly) to my daughters when they were little, it’s on my funeral playlist.
This isn't just entertainment, this is art. A massive artefact of the 20th century. Total genius. And you can dance to it!
For music and culture, the '60s Ruled!!! End of quote. Glad I got to live 'em!!! Thanx.

My favorite video of all time, great stuff. I particularly like just how thrilled Burden is to perform with Otis, pure joy.
Listen to this drummer and bass player! What a killer show!
i think thats al jackson jr from booker t and mgs
wesley andary Al Hackson on Drums. Donald Duck Dunn on bass?
That might be Al Jackson on drums (don't think so but I could be wrong) but that definitely isn't Duck Dunn on bass (he's white!!).
WOODY WOODSON ON DRUMS !
That’s my grandfather Elbert “Woody” Woodson on the drums ❤️❤️❤️
Absolute king of soul 🔥🔥, Forever great Otis redding 💪💪
Otis set the gold standard. That was a breathtaking show. Chris Farlowe was amazing. Must have been an honour and a privilege to witness.

Oh yea Give the drummer some . Then give him some more!
Drummer’s name is Elbert Woodson I think. He is absolutely slaying it.
I'm only twenty and I grew up to this music. He feels every word and note he voices.... Real music. My kids will grow up on this Otis Redding., Bill Withers., Sam
Cooke., Al Greene., Percy., Ben E King., and the many other legends... It builds strength of character.
Tienes razón cuando mencionas a todos esos grandes como Al Green, S. Cooke, B. Ling, Bill Withers.
Perdona mi mal inglés!
Beautiful! Thank you for that post.

Or the Memphis Horns.
I did, twice in the same day, at at Forest Gate East London. It was an awesome show x 2. What a loss.
Eric absolutely loving it during Hold On.
The drummer is effortless and impeccably tight!!
when he starts with "4 on the snare" patterns, the feet must tap !
His kick is insane.
Put a stop watch on how much 'down' time the band had. What incredible talent. I think they might have become Booker T. and the MGs later.
Awesome performance..❤
I don't have words. My heart is racing. I'm transcended. Thank you, thank you for sharing this ❤❤❤
This is a nice concert. I love it. everyone is enjoying themselves.
This was a genuine star! The real King of Soul.....You may keep all the others. Otis was the man!
Hands down, best video in the internet.
Yes dude!
OMG...so right!
tru..my 8th time wtching..
On point!

"Weasels Ripped my Flesh"... niiiiiiice!
getting down right Funky on I can't turn you loose, luv this song.
The one and only Otis Redding . RIP
Tears are streaming down my face ! I so wish I was there !
Classic, perhaps the best twenty three minutes of television ever.
True statement!
Absolutely...I could scarcely believe my eyes and ears when I saw this for the first time. Interestingly, many people, from hearing him, assumed Chris was black. Otis: no doubt at all....The King.
sat here watching this 49 years later and its still fookin great
+loopy twat I remember standing in my leather coat watching RSG waiting to get out on my Lambretta "The weekend starts here"
steve ascott I always had lambrettas ,never vespers ,,,,ride motorcycles now though
This takes me back. I think the Birmingham 'Mods' favoured Lambrettas (mine was a TV200) and the London Mods favoured Vespas. Don't know if this was right though. ... ride racing bikes now !!!!!
charlie drake sx200 for me,,,,vespas seemed a bit ugly lol
How amazing is this show...how powerful!
What I wouldn't give to have been at this amazing show! I was only 12, and grew up in the U.S., but still...The BEST live EVER!!
Chris Farlowe just blows you away. Otis was a force of nature:):)
That band is everything! They were on it!
Absolutely 100%
Absolutely 110%

Fucking hell, it just gets better and better...the 60s were where it was at.
Amazing
One of the all time greats,immortals!
I never missed one episode of RSG. Remember watching this Masterpiece! Pure Joy! Fabulous Memories !
Oh dear, this dates us all if we remember it! I do. I remember just having to watch RSG before the weekend to check on the music, the fashions and the latest dances. You just could NOT afford to be out of date when you ran with the in crowd!! But, hey, they were great times, best time to be young.
Someone once asked Bill Graham who or what was the greatest musical act he had ever seen. Without a second of hesitation he said hands down Otis Redding.
I knew Bill from his earliest days at the Fillmore, one of foundational giants and a good guy.
You know Eric Burdon was thrilled to sing with that amazing band backing him.

Who thumbs down this? This is gold. Pretty cool performance and line up
Only someone with cloth ears could give this a thumbs down.
White nationalists and other racists are not too fond of this kind of music. It's the devil's music, don't you see? LOL.
The Usual Suspects lol🤪
Probably a rapper...
I'm of that generation and the first record i bought was Otis. The music i hear now makes me laughing. This performance together with Monterey are the best
What a show. Thanks for posting.
Genuine talent, pure awesomeness on stage. Some so-called artists out there could learn a bit!
All these 'modern stars' of 2023 of what they call 'music' today.
LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
All three were amazing here. Otis was the greatest male voice of all time IMO. God bless you all
I remeber watching this at the time, fantastic then, fantastic now!
Surely the best 24 minutes of televised music ever produced? It was a bitter blow when RSG was discontinued at the end of 1966.
,I think he was the best ever and I stiill l9ve him to this day R iP
Otis Redding
Couldn’t agree more
It's kind of odd. I tend to like today's music. Current music. Blah blah blah. But one of my favorite CDs to blast in my car... Is The Best of Otis Redding. Good lordy. That man could sing. Just love that man so much.
AMEN I AGREE.
WOW!
JUST... WOW!
Please let heaven be like this!
I just love this guy
I don't know how I ended here, but man that's beautiful!!!
Tremendous show. ♫ Thank God it's preserved for future generations of music lovers.
As fabulous now as it was then. Priceless. i have just played it 4 times. Loved Ready Steady Go
Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them.
Always remembered Otis- The Greatest.
can't turn you loose.. can't sum up the 60's any better than this.. priceless!
I don't know how I managed to miss this when it was shown back in the 60s, but it was way before the era of being able to just press a button to see a repeat! Certainly the best live music show of that period.
The Rolling Who. Otis you just took it to another level that cannot even be surpassed by the originals.
Timeless. What a singer and performer. The world lost a great talent when Otis passed on. This concert, the energy, the delivery, the presence is incredible.🎵.

I feel very lucky watching Ready Steady Go yes I was very very lucky to go to 4 of the shows back then.
Had the privilege of seeing Otis live at the old Regal Theater in Chicago, but even on TV he's perhaps the most joyous performer I've ever seen.
Eric Burdon doing "Hold On" - as good as it gets if Sam & Dave aren't doing it. A true legend whose performances are are still quality.
A donner le tournis, incroyable de vitalité, vraiment un des rois du soul.
Otis and band showing how it done blown the roof off with a powerhouse horn section and a drummer driving the kit like an FI Ferrari hot stuff this is amazing .
Sweet mercy, what a line-up. Otis delivers, as usual, and Eric Burdon was fantastic. I didn't know who Chris Farlowe was, but he is proof you can't judge a book by its cover.
Why is this not on dvd somewhere? Truly breathtaking no matter how many times I watch it. Big O in all his pomp and magnificent s
It is available, cos I've got it.
everytime i watch this. joy takes hold. otis the best ever 😘
There hasn't and never will be any singer like Otis Redding. The very first record I owned was Shake on the blue stax label. I was 12 years old when Otis died, it was listening to Shake that got me into Northern Soul and inspired me to become a DJ and I worked at various clubs in and around Manchester. Thank you for posting this piece of history, a tribute to the god of soul. stay safe J.
The britts knew long before we did that the greatest soul sing ever was the big o. Mr Otis redding. Long live the king!!!!
The Big O was one of the best. He died too young, he wasn't alive to see Dock of the Bay, become a#1 Cross Over Hit. He had jus got started.
@@patfitzpatrick4209 Totally agree. Made me become a musician.. Outstanding band started s whole new sound that Atlantic Records copied.For sure the most soulful voice!
The last song tho... On fire, way before my time, but WHAT a concert!!! The crowd is wild. SoulChaos
The women WOW! they are dancing their AZZZZZES off! Powerful!
Wow to be back there again what music what talent 😎
I remember watching this, and then going to see the Stax tour when it came to Leicester in 1967. Didn't we have some great music. I've often wondered what Otis would have done later in his career. Such a sad loss. Thanks for putting this up.
I am hoping heaven is like this.
It will be much much better, too!
Amen to that
Thank you so much for posting this great show. Eric and Chris were incredibly brave and were great, no chance of outshining the man himself though
The same here i was 7.The day i fell in love with soul
Amazing a whole show devoted to one artist at 6pm on a friday night
The great Otis never bettered
Brilliant! The best version period!
Chris Farlowe is criminally underrated in the US. What an amazing voice.
Buick Le Sabre No idea what you are talking about.
Farlowe is no where near as lauded as Rod Stewart. As for you assesment of Stewart, I just cannot agree - "throaty" maybe, "forced" nope.
There were a lot of British singers who were content to stay on the continent and develop their careers with not much interest in America. I'm not sure if Farlowe ever performed in America. T.S McPhee, JoAnne Kelly, Duster Bennett and several others were either not interested in going across the Atlantic or were not managed properly enough to make the trip.
@@1blastman Chris did ...he was speaking to a black blues man who asked his name .When he said Chris Farlowe the guy said no the guy I know is black
This is a straight up classic from the beginning to the end! Every performance is simply awesome!
I’m 52, grew up on ska, the jam, northern soul and the dead kennedy’s and seeing this footage makes me cry with happiness
In this day of auto-tuned mediocrity. It's great to be reminded that there use to be real music and real performers!!!
What a singer !!! Do it Big O. I feel the heat.
