In 1967, i played , with my Dutch Band The Key , support for The Spencer Davis Group, in Club 192 Scheveningen /Holland , im still honoured till this day , Bless you Spencer!!
Well then, you would be the best bet to know. I copied my main comment here: OK guys... does anyone know what the manufacture of the organ is? It sounds really good... but it IS NOT a Hammond. Is it British???
@@donf3877 Actually it is a Hammond factory split M102, which it appears was made only for the UK market in the 60s. It's well known. It's the same model that Procol Harum (Matthew Fisher) used on "A Whiter Shade of Pale." jpfamps.com/wp-content/uploads/M102-2.jpg
@@56cadd I believe it is a Hammond with a Leslie speaker. My Mom had one back in 1965. I played it a bit, (really excellent) but ended up playing guitar. Funny thing was, that my Mom's maiden name was Hammond!
My aunt knew Spencer Davis and told me how she used to follow the Spencer Davis group around the clubs of Birmingham England before they became famous. She passed away a few years before Spencer Davis, but I hope they get to meet up again in that soul club in the sky ❤️🇬🇧🛵
Steve Winwood transported in from another dimension on one of Albert Einstein's beams of light, just to show the Human Race how vocals can be delivered ... and we shall be Eternally Grateful!
Oldest brother was into Soul music. He claimed that whenever the Spencer Davis Group records were played fans thought they were a black soul band. Wild!
As I was listening, I was wondering about that because it sounds really really good. For live, it basically sounds like a recorded version. Good for the Finnish!
These guys were way ahead of everyone else. Winwood is one of my favorite artist, this guy is wicked talented on both guitar & Hammond and can still bring it.
Steve Winwood , i bought there first album Autumn 66 when it came and have followed Steve ever since . I am now 70 years old he was the main man in every band he was in 😉😉😉
I love his live version of Dear Mr Fantasy at Santa Monica, 1972... Steve makes some of the most beautiful sounds come out of a Guitar I have ever heard. Melodious and Heavenly sounds.
@MW-bi1pi I was at that Traffic concert in '72. Saw him again w/ that Clapton guy in 2009 at Hllywd Bwl. (Blind Faith Reunion Concert...almost). BTW Winwood still plays that turquoise guitar he used at the Santa Monica concert. Sweet.
Rest in peace and love Spencer Davis. Thanks for all the beautiful music. Steve Winwood sure sounded great here. Never knew he did Georgia On My Mind. Wonder if Ray Charles heard this. Cam
Gimme some lovin is one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Young Stevie is so cool to see. Great band and what a special video! RIP Spencer Davis. Thanks for posting.
Spencer Davis, the leader of a rock group that had some of the most propulsive and enduring hits of the 1960s, including “Gimme Some Lovin’,” “I’m a Man” and “Keep On Running” - all sung not by him but by a teenage Steve Winwood - died Monday October 19, 2020, in Los Angeles. He was 81. The cause was pneumonia, Bob Birk, his booking agent and friend, said, adding that Davis had been hospitalized for the last week. Davis co-wrote “Gimme Some Lovin’,” his group’s biggest hit. He played rhythm guitar in the band and occasionally sang lead vocals, lending his baritone voice mostly to blues-oriented material and never to the band’s hit singles.
One of the first rock shows l went to in the mid 60's was at the Finsbury Park Estoria. The Spencer Davis Band weren't the headline act, but were brilliant, especially their great and soulful vocalist - Steve Winwood, who I believe was only 17 at the time. I'm 75 now but it still remains clear in my memory!
Stevie was a teen when I was in my college years. I’ll never forget the impact his voice had on me. He always had that white soul vocal and high range. He was obviously inspired by Ray Charles. Great that Spencer Davis realized his young keyboardist and guitarist with the magical voice should sing lead. But, then, here’s Spencer Davis singing Dust my Blues in the same key and register as Stevie! I had no idea! Awesome old priceless video! Stevie’s lead was ahead of its time in this song.
I had the great pleasure of seeing Spencer & the group perform regularly at the 'Morgue' Bearwood & many other venues they appeared at locally (B'Ham Town Hall. Droitwich Baths, Digbeth Civic etc) before they inevitably hit the 'Big Time' in the early 60s. Stevie Winwood was electrifying at just 15 years of age; Amazing voice; Multi talented musician....Genius.... & the rest of the band were no slouches either, they were ALL masters of their instrument. Great Group: Great Times: Gratefull I'm still around to enjoy the video thank you so much for the memory.
I was 15 when I saw the Spencer Davis Group in late 1967 in White Pigeon, Michigan (sans Stevie). There were about a half a dozen people in the audience with a blizzard outside. Stevie's replacement was a guitarist named Ray. I was like 3 feet in front of Ray when they lit into there first number, "Dust My Broom." Talk about blown away! Winwood's leaving was tragic but the band's recovery was miraculous. Unfortunately, they never got the recognition they deserved. Thank you Spencer for all the hard work. RIP
It only took me 6 years to stumble on this video. I'm only half way through watching it and it looks and sounds like you put some real time and effort into this. Thank you for doing that. Just found out about Spencer Davis' passing today so couldn't have found this at a better or worse time. Videos like yours make sure their talents will be known to future generations. Greatly appreciated.
Did anybody go to the Red Lion pub in central Birmingham in 1966 to listen to SPG and Stevie? I think it was every Thursday night for about a year. They played the blues, and we (girls and boys) use to dance a slow kind of rhythm and blues waltz to their superb blues renderings. We knew Stevie would become a legend - a quiet one at that.
Steve Winwood was 19 here- 19!! He was like a Mozart of rock- writing, singing, playing beautiful guitar, terrific organ- a quadruple threat. And the Band sounds fantastic live- what an outfit. The bass guitar on "I'm a Man" sounds menacing, and Pete York was a really good drummer. This performance is of a much higher live musical quality compared to other bands at the time, even the Beatles. I kind of wish the Spencer Davis group could have been expanded into something like Traffic, instead of being replaced by Traffic. Also, love the jazz break in "Georgia". Thanks for this video, with it's unbelievably great sound.
Thank you for this, you were lucky to find these tapes because Finnish TV used to re record lots of tapes and usually pop band performances were not considered valuable enough to save. As a Finn I find those occasional lyric translations a bit annoying but that was the way back then.
This group was really fantastic, I can remember this years very well, I grow older at this time. Thanks for this video! It's so sad that such great musicians have to leave us. RIP Spencer
The 'interview' at the end is a joy. Favourite 'Negro' singer, Steve? Appalachian music, Spence? Such a time capsule. As for the actual performance of the group ('60's for band), weeeeelll just fantastic. Anyone care to say if they preferred Little Stevie in the SDG, rather than Traffic? Be brave now, 'cos it's an awfully long time ago and Coronavirus is gonna hit all of us old enough to remember this stuff! Big thanks to Mr. John for posting this. It helps to make up for all the quality film that the British TV channels wiped with such glee at the start of the '70's.
Thank you for your time and effort to make this incredible historically important document even more incredible...and, for sharing the fruits of your labour with us! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Searched high and low for any album by the Spencer Davis Group in the mid 1970's. Could only find "The Best of the Spencer Davis Group". Some re-issue, cutout......but I bought it and wasn't disappointed. I'll have to dig it up and give it a listen.
All these years and I find myself cycling through youtube and discovering names to the voices I've heard for decades, and then discovering so much more listening to all their music like it just came out yesterday. Loving it!!
SDG was the 1st concert I ever saw in 1967 in Pgh, PA. The PA was stacks of Marshall cab's and columns and Spencer had a Gibson Burst. It's shocking how good Winwood was at just 17-18. Where did he learn the Ray Charles "Georgia" vocal and organ chops? And the sound on this video is incredible! What a time that was to be alive.
How he did Georgia such justice is incredible for a teenager from Brum
My my what great music.
This is real live playing and singing, no playback ! First class.
I was in the 20's now in 70's still playing Spencer Davis Group !!
Unglaublicher Hammer Song ❤
Tolle Hammond Orgel

The depth and maturity of his voice was way beyond his tender years. So bluesy and soulful
soul comes from within no matter what age
Singing I'm a Man at age 19!!
You gotta love it!!!

Effortless from winwood, truly one of the greatest soul singers of all time , just outstanding

Love how winwood just straight up goes for it no matter what he has always pushed himself to the limit vocally and that is electrifying
I love them
Of course Steve Winwood is a mega talent but that drummer is awesome!!!
All I can say is WOW!
Winwood is only 18 or 19 here, one cool cat beyond his years, amazing.
I think he’s 19 here

Steve Winwood, the 17 years old prodigy. And still performing in2024. Keep on running, Mr. Winwood. One of a kind.
...beautiful , thank you.....the rise of a very special genius...Stevie Winwood......
By this time in 1967 we knew that Steve was leaving and you can see it in all of our faces. But somehow we all survived through the next decades.
R.I.P. Spencer. You had a great 60s band.
Remember them at the Manor House North London from them days Anyone else there.They were Supreme.
A real band from way back.. Class act
Better than the Beatles by miles
Buenísima calidad de sonido de este video histórico . The Spencer Davis Group fue un supergrupo de los 60 .
I was lucky enough to be there in those days. Saw them at "The Chinese Rythm & Blues Club" at The Bristol Corn Exchange. A lot longer set of course.
LOVE this song, Stevie IS a genius! Also, I generally hate covers but CHICAGO'S rendition of this song might just be the GOAT of cover songs!
Thanks for the music... Rest in peace Spencer...
Eine Legende der Pop-Musik, da werden Jugenderinnerungen wach.... wunderbar!
