I like how Boz slid “lowdown” in there ☺️😉 Boz is a boss! Man made one heckuva catalog of soulful sounds. “Jojo” is still such a jam. Still sounding fresh!
Check out Ms Riddle. Thank me later👍🏽
@@estelle7111 You ain’t lyin’… ✨💫🎷✨💫
@@estelle7111 Whatcha say Miss Riddle, I say we do it again
That was slick wasn't it?
@@davidmccall4776 what an amazing use of stereo and space - I feel like I am in stuck in the middle of a dark room with Miss Riddle listening to Boz LOL
Boz is one of my absolute favorite performers from the 70’-80’s. Incredible singer,writer,and producer. I still listen to his music daily.
Who you calling Boy?
@@DesertScorpionKSA Dam auto correct! It’s fixed now,thanks
@@fw1421 Yeah, I hate when that happens.
I love the music collaboration of Boz and Duane Allman on 'Somebody Loan Me A Dime' and "Waiting For A Train' .
as well as I'll Be Long Gone
I was 17 years old when Silk Degrees came out and will be 65. One of my favorite albums ever👍🏻
I’m a little bit ahead of you. I was 17 in 76 and I’m already 65. First heard Lowdown on my way to basic training at Fort Dix.
@@williamwilson6499 . I turned 17 on September 2nd and on the 29th I was at Ft Leonardwood for basic training, 1976 seems so long ago but yet it feels like yesterday🤗
Same here. I turned 65 this year. I played "Silk Degrees" constantly in 1976.
Same
Agreed!
Finally had the great chance to see Boz Scaggs with The Dukes of September (Scaggs, Donald Fagan, Michael McDonald) several years ago. It was heavenly. What a trio!
Dude, you are so lucky to have seen that. I have the DVD of that. Absolutely amazing Dukes of September. I play all the time.
Saw Boz several years ago. Not only was he fabulous in concert, more importantly seems to be genuinely a very nice man. He very respectfully shared the spot light with his group singers and all. Just a cool dude and the songs of my childhood came to life on stage all these years later. Thank you Boz and band
Loan Me a Dime has to be in the Top 10 of Rock and Roll songs in history.
With the late great Duane Allman
So much quality music from Boz over the years!
I saw th entire interview on tv. What a gracious man. "We Were Always Sweethearts" was one of his first singles in about 1971. Heard it a few days ago for the first time in so many years. Brought back wonderful memories! Thanks Boz!
I've always loved "We're All Alone" as a real gem. Boz's contributions to the Dukes of September were also amazing. Super talented musician.
Silk Degrees is still one of my favorite albums. I was a teenager in the early-mid 70's and I wore out that album. Such a jam all the way through. Boz is a superstar in my book. .
That sailor lp was a masterpiece ! And the Boz Scaggs on Atlantic! 🥳🥳incredible
Yes his first album is a gem. I love Lone Me A Dime with Muscle Shoals house band and the late great Duane Allman.
PUT BOZ IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!! What a Travesty! This guy was an influential game changer. Great career. Well done Boz!
Disband this HOF travesty. Rock was rebellion, now it’s domesticated. Sickening.
YES! The Cleveland pyramid, but who cares? and yet we do. Other "black listed" include Blue Oyster Cult, and now I here they're putting in modern hip-hop type artists! It seems a largely corrupt and political organization.
Key phrase, '...my number came up.' Persistence paid off. Great interview.
I saw Boz a few years ago in concert. He was really good! I grew up in the 70’s and he was one of my favorite artists.
I was lucky to see the Steve Miller Band many times during the 60's in San Francisco, and with Boz a few times. In my opinion, Steve at his best. Sailor and Children Of The Future.
Sailor is the Best Steve Miller.
Liked Steve Miller early years. When actors, singers start talking politics in interviews I tune out, right or left!
Same. Well stated.
Boz is great, he is one of those guys you just want to have a beer and chat with a little, he is a real interesting guy.
Love Boz. So many memories of my younger days.
Saw him several times with Steely Dan. Fantastic musician!
Love Boz Scaggs!
Boz Scaggs on Steve Miller...he mentioned him for about 9 seconds.
Yeah, LoL!
I saw Boz play at the UC San Diego gym in 1970 or '71. Tickets were 50 cents, and I was able to enjoy the concert standing in the front row, right next to the stage. I was on LSD, so the experience was very trippy.
Absolutely an ICON from my Youth - saw him play at least 5 times - PEACE
I’m picturing Dan rocking out to “Silk Degrees” back then.
I named two of my cats Boz...lost one and gained another, thus Boz I and Boz II. 😊 Love the music, always have!
I was working in High Level, Alberta just south of the North West Territories, and my fellow workers and I would hop in the truck and head off for fishing and camping. We had three tapes, Heart, with Magic Man, Al Stewart, Year of the Cat, and Boz Scaggs, Lido. This was the soundtrack to our summer of ‘78. There were other tunes but these were the ones we listened to the most. That was the best summer ever.
And without Boz Scaggs himself and/or perhaps Steely Dan, I don't think the five members that formed Toto in 1977 (these guys worked with both Scaggs and the Dan) would have been nearly as recognized.
Nope. They would have. They were already in demand session musicians and brilliant songwriters.
No Rosanna or Africa or 99. Not sure that would be much of a loss.
Don't get it twisted Boz Scaggs & Steely Dan definitely played a part in the music careers of the members of Toto. But, there's no bout a doubt it that Jeff Porcaro, Steve Lukather & David Paich especially would have still been as big as they were & sought out musicians in demand in the music industry with or without the helping hand of either one of those artists. All the session work those dude's did in the studio starting from the early 70's & on is something only few have ever accomplished in the music business for sure. It's not even up for debate whatsoever, period. There's a good reason why Boz, Donald & Walter reached out to some of the dudes in Toto to play a couple tracks on their albums. So, give credit where credit is due, ya dig? Just saying... +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘
Dan still killing it! they both have so much history and look fantastic.
One of my first concerts (Music Hall in Boston) when Silk Degrees came out, remember it still -- *wonderful* *performer* ❤❤❤
One of the greatest artists that's ever been.Great interview!
He FINALLY admits he made a record in Sweden in ‘66. He used to get borderline violent if you mentioned it. He would insist his first LP was the S/T one on Atlantic. In some ways that ‘66 record was the best he ever made. Just a man and a couple of guitars. Before he turned into the Springsteen of Yacht Rock.
How about this line up!!! Schaefer Stadium .1976. Bozz Scaggs Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. Bozz was great Silk Degrees live was a just amazing . Been a fan since. Love this man.
Like a lot of band album's I have bought back in the late 60's early 70's, I like the first one the best. I like Boz's first album the best.
Love Boz and Dan Rather's interviews.
I just watched one clip about an hour ago and now I want to see the whole thing!
Boz & Steve be long time friends
Thanks you Dan and Boz😊!
JO JO IN VT 💞
Still listening to his first LP; Another Day/Another Letter a true classic
I wish the word 'success' wasn't used as an overly general word for 'financial success'. I feel that Boz Scaggs was a success before he had financial success with 'Silk Degrees'. I mean we're talking about music, an art form, not the accumulation of $$$. I liked his various LPs and his earlier bands before Silk Degrees and he was successful then, at least for me. And of course his contributions to the Steve Miller Band on their first two albums, which are my two favorite LPs from the SMB. I remember back in the mid-80's in SF, Boz owned a restaurant with bar that I think was balled 'Blue LIght Cafe' or something like that. Really fun, cool place to go and the food was good. It had an interesting look to it, a lot due to the very cool lighting system, with various colors. The lighting would change slightly and subtlety over time. It would sort of cycle. I think I heard that one of his roadies who was a lighting and electronics geek installed it.
I was sitting in a bar outside Davidson, NC, Fall 1972, one night, and a buddy of mine, whose parents were associated with Davidson College, comes in and says "There's a guy named Boz Scaggs playing at the college. Come on. I know a way to get us in free!" So we pulled into a few cars, and JL led us into the Chambers building and through a little stairwell and up to a little catwalk area ... where we caught his encore of "Dinah Flo." The memory is still EXHILARATING!
JL and I went out that same weekend and bought that album he was promoting, "My Time." Great album!
That album was my first exposure to Boz. Friends were from the Bay Area. I was a high school student in the Marshall Islands.
I started going to concerts slightly before that around'69 and it was like magic, seeing and hearing these people in person.
Scaggs is one of the best.
A nod to Louie Shelton, the studio guitarist who played the solo on "Lowdown".
Boz
replaced curly cook the guitar player with Steve Lonnie Turner and Tim Davis were in the band. I remember his songs and style. I remember flying from LA to San Francisco on the plane with him and Boz was telling me about his new recording done in muscle Shoals lovely man always has been.
Terrific musician terrific video. Thanks Dan Rather! Thanks for the beautiful music Bob!
Love Boz Skaggs!
Real RocknRolla...Earth Soul Blues RocknRoll...
I loved silk degrees am on my fourth copy since 1977 .
" i was getting the LOWDOWN"..... that you got to love.
Loved this musician since Lowdown. Great creator. Good to see he's doing well.
I liked The Steve Miller Blues Band with Curly Cook in the 60s. Don't know why Curly left and I was a bit disappointed but Boz came in actually influenced a significant change in the band from a straight blues band (which wasn't even reflected on their first album) to a whole new sound. Boz has been a master composer, singer, and (I presume, cause I never saw him as a solo/headliner act) performer.
Hence the "and band" part of the show. when I saw the scaggs show in his later years, his lead guitar was a young kid out of Louisiana, a real blazer with the strings. Almost , save for the vocals , as if miller was still filling the role.
Slim. Thanks for the music. The best part of your club in SF was the 8 track of your greatest hits!
he's one of the best!
Boz went to the same private school as Steve Miller, Clark Hunt (Chiefs), and Ivan Stang (Subgenius Foundation)
Dan does good with his notes with these musicians interviews letting them talk. Many just interrupt them, but he has no clue about them or the music.
music historian is not his rule here. he might know everything, or nothing, it's not about him.
75 or 76- Boz Scaggs, Fleetwood Mac and Joe Walsh's first tour as an Eagle. Boz was breaking out, so it was 3 headliners in one show.
Got to see the Boz a couple years ago in San Diego great hearing all the hits but when he did loan me a dime that checked one off my bucket list hope he comes around again.
he does field a very good show. I have seen the guy twice, but remain most impressed by a performance of long ago, when both Steve miller, who headlined the show, and the Box Scaggs band toured together. That was one hack of a battle of the bands. none of that silk degrees lobby music had even been thought of . "loan me a dime" was extended with so many solos, the trombonist briefly stopped the show, everybody, including his bandmates , was so stunned when he finished ..
Steve Miller, at one point of his performance, was in the floor on his knees playing bent over backwards just to compete,, with a group of people circled around him cheering "go Stevie guitar".
At a tombstone bar, in a juke joint car he made a stop
Just long enough to grab a handle off the top
On Sundays a keyboard buddy of mine, we get together and just play anything we want- with or without utube. I always love playing Lido Shuffle. Such a great rhythmic tune, great story and changes.
Yeah!!!❤
Loan Me a Dime, baby!
I need to call my old time used to be
Before web pages were posted on the internet, one needed to know Jorma Kaukonnen's brother and have access to an American Express office to keep up with the San Francisco music scene.
Love Boz! Check out the album Dig if you haven't already. Its superb. Rather is terrific at interviewing people.
Bob is in my top 10 greatest song writter performers of the 20th century. I live in Brisbane and he was performing in the city around the time Elton use to visit us. (Festival Hall) I'm crossing the street and he and a body guard are crossing toward me. I recognise him and said hello Boz. He looked straight ahead, nothing. I looked at his guard and nodded. He ☺ smiled like he'd seen this before. He was focused and I respected that. What a world 🌍 class musician.
Boz not Bob (my phone 📱 isn't familiar with world 🌍 class musicians 🎶)
City of the stars..... bar on every corner, I loved there in the xc 70,s. The 23 club, Remeber the Quicksilver?
@@markwegner6821 spell check, no doubt, I am constantly correcting the program's corrections.
@@richardelliott8352 maybe it's Boz we blame. After all, no phone 📱 company has him on first selection.
SawBoz, Fillmore East, one of the top ten concerts out of more than 250
0:45 All the old time fans said "Ohhhhhh, yeah" when Boz said "I got the, (quick pause) the lowdown".
I have one album of Boz's: Silk Degrees. It's superb.
Other than Return to Forever at their peak, Best show I ever saw was Boz on the Silk Degrees tour Stanford Amphitheater. All the Toto guys were the backup band plus guests. I was helping on the board.
Frost?
❤
Everyone keeps mentioning Silk Degrees, but his best old bum is Slow Dancer. Philly soul at its best.
Lido Shuffle
What guitarist did he replace in the smb?
wikipedia usually has a band member history with each band
James "Curly" Cooke.
Boz is boss
he said lowdown
I bought Silk degrees, original vinyl recently. A few tracks sound very much like Elton John. Who was copying whom?
Boz not Bob (my phone 📱 isn't familiar with world 🌍 class musicians 🎶)
Your son Jess passed away a few weeks ago
Miller #5 was the best Steve,but Boz was the best writer and way more creative
Why is Dan Rather doing these interviews? What does he know about rock music?
Dan Rather is unwatchable. Reminds me of a 1970's used car salesman.
F the R&RHoF
you were keeping on eye what was happening in san francisco? this was before the $h1ting on the sidewalks? and the flash shoplifting mobs?
Still one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
@@timmccarthy5782 i see all the bars across from new candlestick park are closed up.
So that’s all you have to say after watching this interview? Have fun being you.
@@CountryB4Party SF is in sad shape. i guess if that doesn't bother you at all.....
The Haight in the late 60s early 70s was pretty bad. Urban areas have problems, always have. I think propagandists on the right use urban crime in the same way they use the border, as a tool to fire up the base with fear and prejudice.
Love The BOZ!💙👍
Enough with the upcoming. Do it or don’t post it.
These are to get you watching the cable channel which has aired the entire interview already.
