My girlfriend at the time turned me on to Boz Scaggs via the album Silk Degrees in Dec. '75. Absolutely must hit LIDO SHUFFLE, LOWDOWN, and HARBOR LIGHTS. Also, BREAKDOWN DEAD AHEAD is a must from Boz as a music video (the old official music video). Steve Miller taught him how to play some guitar licks when he was in Steve's band in Jr. High. Les Paul was Steve Miller's Godfather and would let him pick out a new model for his birthday every year from the factory showroom (but that's another story).
From his 2003 concert DVD. You should catch it all but Miss Sun for sure if you want to see the backup singers really shine, especially Ms. Monet! Great musicians and backup. Michael Bluenstein on piano went on to be a member of Foreigner (among many other accomplishments).
"Look What You've Done To Me" was co-written by Boz Scaggs & David Foster for the 1980 movie "Urban Cowboy". The whole "Silk Degrees" album is great. Remember when it came out in 1976. It has a bluesy sound to it. Two of his most famous songs from that album are "Lowdown" & "Lido Shuffle". Some other songs are "It's Over", "What Can I Say", "We're All Alone", "Harbor Lights", "Jump Street" etc.
I love small venues. The Chicago Theater and a theater in South Bend Indiana are my favorites I've been to. The acoustics in old theaters are usually wonderful too. This performance had to have been done a couple decades after he originally recorded this song. I love it!
Such a beautiful song. The band and back-up singers are AWESOME! Boz lets the girls put such a fantastic exclamation point to this lovely love song! This whole show is TOP SHELF!
My favorite version of this song; for me, the female vocalists put it over the top at the end. "We're All Alone" and "Harbor Lights" from this same concert continue the great slow, melodic vibe of this tune.
You should check out the Dukes of September Concert Live at Lincoln Center (2012 or 2014? I'm not sure which date is correct). It's Michael McDonald, Donald Fagen from Steely Dan, and Boz Scaggs. Boz does some amazing cover songs and some of his own hits. My favorite is Miss Sun from that show.
Boz is just glorious. I saw him in Tahoe two years ago and he still sounds great. His band is amazing and takes you to another dimension. And Barbara and Monet on backups here, just angelic. Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan are two sounds from the 70s that will always elevate me to a very special place when I hear them.
Showing my age but this was the first song I had the pleasure of my first slow dance. I’ve never forgotten it. Love. Look what it’s done to me over a century later. ❤ His voice says everything. 💜
This live performance was 23 years after first recording the song - amazing. I saw Boz at the House Of Blues in Las Vegas a few years before this when he was putting together the touring band - he did one show in San Francisco before the Vegas show where he explained he brought along some extra musicians - they were still working out how they'd do the various songs. That show was quite long as they tried out all the songs they might do on tour. BTW, the House Of Blues venue inside Mandalay Bay is also an intimate setting where there were just 10 rows of 10 seats each(I was in row 6) on the dance floor and then tables and seats within the bar and on the surounding balconies. For another slow one that could be a couple's song is "Harbor Lights".
Now that is music! Musicians writing great music and lyrics and being able to play it to a tee live. Unlike what passes for music today, sampling, drum tracks, autotune, etc. just can't come any where close to the sound, emotion and feeling of this song.
The Great American Music Hall is a terrific San Francisco music club. Very small and intimate, 470 seats. For more than 30 years Boz Scaggs actually owned his own club, Slim's, in a nearby part of San Francisco. Also a small, 500-seat club. I saw Boz first in 1968 on the East Coast and have loved his music since.
Iv loved Boz scaggs from as far back as I can remember, his in same shonra as Chris Rea and George Benson ..Seductive ,romantic, smooth .Just beautiful.
Oh wow! It has been a long time since I have heard this. Thank you for reminding me how moving this song is. Jumping on over to Spotify to add it to my favorites. ❤
The slow burn and passion of this song, coupled with the romantic lyrics, make this the SEXIEST SONG EVER. Check out the studio version when you get a chance.
❤One of my favorite songs from Urban Cowboy movie, starting John Travolta and Debra Winger….a movie worth watching. All the music from the movie soundtrack is great. Thanks, I sure did enjoy! ☺️
I don't know if I said it on this channel or another, but I would re-mortgage my soul to be in audience for Boz. When I was growing up we all knew Lido Shuffle but it's only in the last ten years or so that I rediscovered him and realised he's capable of songs of such beauty that they take your breath away. I know you want to go back to something funkier but before you do please listen to 'Sierra'. There are live versions around but you need the studio version for the first time. Sad, poetic, with guitar to die for, it is I think the most beautiful song I've ever heard. The angels lay their clouds across his sky They line up for him every night Some have wings and others sing The rest do lazy ballets in the air He's touring the US this summer, but no mention of overseas. Come over to London, Boz, before it's too late! (I know, who am I to make demands of a guy in his late 70s? But I can dream of the High Sierra . . . )
I’m with you brother ! I’ve requested “Sierra” a bunch too, but not many thumbs up. Boz does “lost at love” better than anyone - I usually pair it with his other beauty, “Lost It”. I’ve never lived in the Sierras, but have toured there several times, so I get why he wrote about angels making the cloud formations.
@@tcanfield Sadly no Sierras in the UK. We've got the Lake District, I suppose. And mountains in Scotland and Wales, beautiful in their own way, before anyone says anything.
One of the most exquisite love songs ever, and performed to perfection! I’ve loved this man’s music since the seventies when I was in high school. I finally got to see him in concert a few years ago, and he still had “it”!
I'm glad you chose this song. Such a great and underappreciated romantic love song. I always thought it had just a little feeling of mystery to it too. Love Boz Scaggs!
Boz Scaggs, Donald Fagen (of Steely Dan) and Michael McDonald (of the Doobie Bros) did a tour together recently that they called The Dukes of September. Well worth a watch and a listen. They do hits from all three bands.
Go see him in concert. I can’t say it enough, if you can find a way to see him, do it. Don’t think twice, you may never get this chance again. If you have a concert bucket list, he should be at the top. Go see him!
More songs from Boz like this: Slow Dancer, Harbour Lights, We're All Alone in any order. They're all gorgeous. His vocals are amazing in all three of those. Another of his uptempo: Jump Street, Georgia. Can't go wrong really. Like others have said, Silk Degrees album is great start to finish. All songs I've mentioned save for Slow Dancer are from it. I think Lowdown and Slow Dancer are my personal favorites of his, though it's hard to narrow down to just two.
Fabulous rendition! Now that you've tapped into this concert, you really should react to "Breakdown Dead Ahead" from the same show... killer performance and a good rocker that will balance out well and show you a grittier side of his music.
I'm a late 70's teen Silk Degrees was our blues/love songs. Always loved his tone. I also loved him even more when he stopped recording and touring so he could be with his children.
Always a pleasure to listen to Boz Scaggs. He was outstanding right from his early days and probably had 4 or 5 successful albums before this one.. He went to England (Europe) for a while and was a big hit their as well. This album is one of his greats, but he has done some really good ones of late as well. How about his early works "Moments" and his "Slow Dancer" albums. You should seek out a cut of Boz Scaggs with Booker T & the MG's Featuring Steve Cropper & Boz Scaggs doing a song called "As the Years go Passing by" you will add it to your favorites as well.
This entire concert is amazing. It's from 2004 was at the Great American Music Hall. Watch the version from this concert of Jojo and Breakdown Dead Ahead!
Bam! Got me right in the feels. July 19th will mark the 22nd anniversary of my first meeting with my husband with 8/14 marking our 19th wedding anniversary. He will be away at work for the first one, but home in August. This is a great performance to share on these special days. My Bill has worked on Ohio River barges since 1990 & alternates 20 days at work with 20 days at home.
Love Boz Scaggs music 🎵💝🎶🎶 love the back singers 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
This was heavy.
This was at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco - an older, pretty cool venue.
My girlfriend at the time turned me on to Boz Scaggs via the album Silk Degrees in Dec. '75. Absolutely must hit LIDO SHUFFLE, LOWDOWN, and HARBOR LIGHTS. Also, BREAKDOWN DEAD AHEAD is a must from Boz as a music video (the old official music video). Steve Miller taught him how to play some guitar licks when he was in Steve's band in Jr. High. Les Paul was Steve Miller's Godfather and would let him pick out a new model for his birthday every year from the factory showroom (but that's another story).
I forget just how good he is! It takes me back.
It was the era of the slow grind
So talented!
No autotune. Pure him, his emotions and his voice. No artificial "enhancements."
Love Boz. This is his best, David Foster is a genius as well.
He is in the place where the words came from.
From his 2003 concert DVD. You should catch it all but Miss Sun for sure if you want to see the backup singers really shine, especially Ms. Monet! Great musicians and backup. Michael Bluenstein on piano went on to be a member of Foreigner (among many other accomplishments).
Love Boz. One of his best
Love all the Boz.
Boz is simply the best!
Love Boz Scaggs. Always have.
He is like a fine wine, so smooth.
"Look What You've Done To Me" was co-written by Boz Scaggs & David Foster for the 1980 movie "Urban Cowboy". The whole "Silk Degrees" album is great. Remember when it came out in 1976.

Some other songs are "It's Over", "What Can I Say", "We're All Alone", "Harbor Lights", "Jump Street" etc.
One of the best albums of all time, IMO.
Boz's album Come On Home is a goodie. It's become my favorite Boz album. Check it out if you haven't.
Have you tried My prayer sung by Bobby Hatfield? Or Somewhere? You’ll enjoy ❤❤
Wait for it!
That was outstanding the whole band!!
Need to find the original Loan Me A Dime, was recorded in Muscle Shoals AL and Duane Allman played slide guitar in it
I love small venues. The Chicago Theater and a theater in South Bend Indiana are my favorites I've been to. The acoustics in old theaters are usually wonderful too. This performance had to have been done a couple decades after he originally recorded this song. I love it!
It’s all about Boz !!!
So glad you got to this one. Listen to it 3 more times, then breathe.
Thanks for this! Not many people are reacting to Boz, but he is incredible!
His smooth, soulful, sexy voice seeps into my soul. Love me some Boz Scaggs❤
Such a beautiful song. The band and back-up singers are AWESOME! Boz lets the girls put such a fantastic exclamation point to this lovely love song! This whole show is TOP SHELF!
A one of a kind song. An emotional masterpiece.
This tune makes me well up all the time. Boz is a legend and is proff that modern music sucks and is soulless.
Very nice touch by Boz to incorporate his backup singers part in the end! Just beautifully done!
Boz is awesome - brings me back to Junior High school dances, slow dancing with cute boys.
My favorite version of this song; for me, the female vocalists put it over the top at the end. "We're All Alone" and "Harbor Lights" from this same concert continue the great slow, melodic vibe of this tune.
Harbor Lights is my favorite.
I have this whole concert on DVD its fantastic,think you may still be able to track it down.
You should check out the Dukes of September Concert Live at Lincoln Center (2012 or 2014? I'm not sure which date is correct). It's Michael McDonald, Donald Fagen from Steely Dan, and Boz Scaggs. Boz does some amazing cover songs and some of his own hits. My favorite is Miss Sun from that show.
He most definitely is a beautiful soul. No words can describe!
This was such a powerful ballad in Urban Cowboy. Such a smooth, rich voice of my generation. I wonder how many times I've danced to this song.
Boz is so good. Even after all of these years, this is one of those songs that might come up in my mind and get me singing.
Gonna be here in Dallas in two days. Can't wait. Seen him back in the 70's at a local Dallas club.
I love this song so much ❤
I bought Boz albums back in the day. Can t tell you the beautiful nights I had with his music playing in the background.
Oh my I forgot how much I love this song, thanks! What an unexpected surprise
So many that people don't appreciate the REAL talent there. Love him.
This takes me back. Love Boz!
Boz is just glorious. I saw him in Tahoe two years ago and he still sounds great. His band is amazing and takes you to another dimension. And Barbara and Monet on backups here, just angelic. Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan are two sounds from the 70s that will always elevate me to a very special place when I hear them.
In my humble opinion you chose the best version of this song. I listen to this very often.
This is the best version. I think it’s performed in Austin Lights areana
Showing my age but this was the first song I had the pleasure of my first slow dance. I’ve never forgotten it. Love. Look what it’s done to me over a century later. ❤ His voice says everything. 💜
I'm a hair from subscribing! This was one of my most favorites by Boz. If you react to "We're All Alone" or "Lowdown" I will be a subscriber!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Could be my favorite song of all time!! Beautiful!!!
I love Boz,love this song,this venue and production but its those beautiful backup singers at the end that make me misty eyed.Songbirds❤
Those songs that give you goose bumps!! Love Boz!
One of my favourite love songs. ❤️
Those female background singers are about to steal the show!😀
Ive been WAITING for you to listen to this. JoJo is a great song also!😊
Just incredible live magical music!
I love this song! One of the smoothest, heartfelt, beautiful love songs ever. Did I mention I love this song? 🥰
Check out from this same concert, Loan Me A Dime. Great blues.

I love this song so much and I love the movie "Urban Cowboy". This is my FAVORITE version of this song. Their back-up singers are phenomonel!!!
Wow! I was 18, just graduating high school and falling in love! What a great memory....
What a performance by all!!

Boz and his ballads are killer !
This performance just blew me away! 🤯
Boz Scaggs Sings The Memories. It's all in his Face!
No words to describe your reaction. Perfect.
Oh wow! It has been a long time since I have heard this. Thank you for reminding me how moving this song is. Jumping on over to Spotify to add it to my favorites. ❤

Bozz with his unique marbles-in-his-mouth twang
❤One of my favorite songs from Urban Cowboy movie, starting John Travolta and Debra Winger….a movie worth watching. All the music from the movie soundtrack is great. Thanks, I sure did enjoy! ☺️

The angels lay their clouds across his sky
They line up for him every night
Some have wings and others sing
The rest do lazy ballets in the air
He's touring the US this summer, but no mention of overseas. Come over to London, Boz, before it's too late!
(I know, who am I to make demands of a guy in his late 70s? But I can dream of the High Sierra . . . )

This is going on my “lazing on the beach reading a book” playlist. Such a chilled vibe to this. Absolutely love it
One of the most exquisite love songs ever, and performed to perfection! I’ve loved this man’s music since the seventies when I was in high school. I finally got to see him in concert a few years ago, and he still had “it”!
I completely forgot about this song and how great it is and I just added it to my playlists, thanks
I'm glad you chose this song. Such a great and underappreciated romantic love song. I always thought it had just a little feeling of mystery to it too. Love Boz Scaggs!
Boz Scaggs, Donald Fagen (of Steely Dan) and Michael McDonald (of the Doobie Bros) did a tour together recently that they called The Dukes of September. Well worth a watch and a listen. They do hits from all three bands.

Boz better give those girls a shout out! What an awesome surprise at the end of the song...perfect touch.
He did. They are Barbara Wilson and Monet’.
I think this is my favorite romantic version of this song!❤
"Lido Shuffle" must be next. Both the studio version and the live from this show are killer.
There's a concert on RUclips where Boz joins Steely Dan with special guest Michael McDonald it runs about 2 hours but it's well worth it.
More songs from Boz like this: Slow Dancer, Harbour Lights, We're All Alone in any order. They're all gorgeous. His vocals are amazing in all three of those. Another of his uptempo: Jump Street, Georgia. Can't go wrong really. Like others have said, Silk Degrees album is great start to finish. All songs I've mentioned save for Slow Dancer are from it. I think Lowdown and Slow Dancer are my personal favorites of his, though it's hard to narrow down to just two.
We're All Alone is another great Boz song in the same vein as this one.
Boz is awesome - he has a couple songs on the “Silk Degrees” album that will get you laid too - “Harbor Lights” and “We’re All Alone”.
Another beautiful Boz ballad is “We’re All Alone” from the Silk Degrees album.
Fabulous rendition! Now that you've tapped into this concert, you really should react to "Breakdown Dead Ahead" from the same show... killer performance and a good rocker that will balance out well and show you a grittier side of his music.

This was performed at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco! I have attended concerts there before and it is an absolutely marvelous venue!
I’m so glad you appreciate Boz as much as I do. I can listen to him all day long and then some.
My absolute favourite song of all time. I have this album and I mean vinyl
This is my favorite of his, though there are many I like, and his "Silk Degrees" was one of the must-have albums of my youth.
My first concert when this album came out. Great, great show.✌️❤️
One of my very favorite songs. It’s from the best years of my life
Could you PLEASE do We're All Alone next? One of my top favourite ballads.
Always a pleasure to listen to Boz Scaggs. He was outstanding right from his early days and probably had 4 or 5 successful albums before this one..
