I saw him Friday night he still has the voice.
Criminally underrated. Still bother the neighbours with Seed of Memory and the River. It's the nuts.
After all these years 62 years found a musical genius!
me too
At 61and I am just discovering Terry Reid..what a voice, Page wanted him for LZ..I can see why, awesome..
I did not know about Terry Reed until I watched Rob Zombie movies, so I'm very grateful to Rob Zombie for turning me onto this musical genius.
Almost six minutes of absolute soulful bliss. Unbelievable talent.
Keep coming back to this great track with Lee Miles on bass. Written by Terry when he was only fourteen (14) years old!!! His albums RIVER and SEED OF MEMORY are absolutely quintessential for any serious audiophile. TR was highly respected by his peers though unfortunately did not receive the acclaim he richly deserved. God bless you Terry.
Hearing this for the first time has made my day. A song for a weary soul in a weary world. Just beautiful ❤️
How am I 64 years old and just finding out about this guy. I have been robbed!
Sadly, yes you have !
But the good news is that there is the ability to scour record shops & find more of his music. The early stuff is to die for !
Btw, he wrote the song Without Expression at the age of fourteen !
Without doubt the best. 2021. My dad brought me to you. I fucking love you and so will my kids. Thank you ❤️
I can't describe how much I love Terry Reid, or how perplexed I am that he's not the most famous vocalist of a generation
Because he didn't play by the rules and did his own thing.
He almost was. Read up about him and Led Zeppelin
Totally agree. So unfair! Loved him for years !
PAGE's 1st choice for Zeppelin, but he said no, due to having a contract with Mickie Most. However, he knew Robert plant, and Page didn't. He introduced Plant to Page.
❤ 💕 💟 🫶 🌺🌡️👑
That bass player is beyond
He is Lee Miles, and he came from Ike & Tina Turner's band, so you know he's (i) funky, and (ii) doesn't make mistakes. He was perfect for Reid.
Just an amazing musician and vocalist. Still with us in his 70 s love him !@
thats wats cool moast are dead but then , the good ones , murdered or o d
by*
Outstanding and little known talent. Soulful voice, great guitar.
I know Terry’s vocals are superb, but the rhythm of his guitar playing is just something else too. Incredible.
Very unique style he has.
@@beetleything1864 Hahaha !! A very Sloppy style BUT dead nuts in time !! Just awesome !!!!
Without Expression...sung with total expression. Terry is really feeling it.
Yes, but feeling what? The lyrics are incomprehensible.
So much soul in that voice. Terry manages to meld country, soul and rock so effortlessly in one song along with his singular guitar playing.
Perfect, I discovered Terry Reid by Chris Cornell....and I can't stop listening Terry now
indivisible unbeatable...dont tell anybody its our worlds most secret song
Always the very best then and now
Only kust discoverrd Terry via The Rockonteurs podcast. Im 48, how can that even be possible
back again can't find any better songs on youtube
I seen him live at Shaffer Music Festival in New York city central Park in 1968.
Hypnotic...mesmerizing...addictive ! A shout out to that bass player too..lovely sympathetic playing
Genius
Still the greatest, i kept Terry a secret from all my muso friends growing up because i just wanted to enjoy him with my brother.
Magic. Hits really deep hart. Organic and soulfull. Makes you humble and thankful. Cheers Terry.
I would click the like on this every time I watch it, if it were possible. Sooooo good!
Fantastic 🎉
Yep 1st time here too. Amazing
After all these years of being a musical fanatic, I am just discovering the brilliant Terry Reid. Inspiring.
Same here. How did I miss this when I was young
It has taken me 52 years. I will never understand how.
My Goodness!!! So glad I researched this song…….otherwise…..
I gotta admit it also happened to me.Now I´m a big fan.
Same here. He's an incredible talent. His vocals are outstanding. Never heard someone sing and thought "so this is where Chris Robinson gets his inspiration". Big fan now, at almost 54 years old.
GOD bless you dear Terry,i love you and your songs!
You are great man!
The best writer, singer, underrated his whole career and still doing it all these years. I actually heard the words with just him and his acoustic guitar in the past few years. I love you Terry Reid!
Love Terry and have been a fan since seeing him at The Filmore East in Jan 1969. I wish someone with better sensibilities than I would transcribe what he is singing here.
Someone posted the lyrics earlier. See above 👆👆👆
Jaw dropping
In 1974 AD I was in a garage-style (an attic, really) cover band. We played this song in many bars and at sock hops in Northside Chicago. I have loved this song ever since. And Terry Reid, too, of course. All these decades and this song still brings up such feelings and love.
I absolutely love this guy! Soulful and brilliant. One of THE most underrated of all time. But just for grins, watch this again and try to decipher even 5% of his lyrics:)
Haven't been able to find the version where he sings in English.
He changed the words here, but you can't understand them on a LOT of his songs. Enunciation isn't one of his strong points. But he has a LOT of feeling.
@@lindsayheywood7195 hahahaha
In 1973 I was a big fan of REO Speedwagon's "Without Expression (Don't Be the Man)" but never knew it was based on this or that it had also been covered by the Hollies, CSN&Y, or John Cougar Mellencamp. I am happy to have mud on my face!
I regularly return to this incredible performance. One of the most beautiful and inspiring live performances i have seen...Terry is a pure talent.
Fantastic bass n drums as well
ABSOLUTE!
I've watched this countless times and I can never not watch it to completion. Amazing talent ❤
I love this man's voice. Johnny Depp led me here. Thanks man.
Soul. Blues. Rock. Mix 'em up and you get Terry. Respect.
Terry Reid is a whole Vibe, dude was built different
Just this year,I’m 54 and been playing in bands for years…it’s bizarre how ‘under the radar’ he had been throughout my life.
Just think, Jimmy Page asked him to join a little band he was putting together - Terry had other commitments he honoured and reccomended a guy by the name of Robert Plant. And so it goes....
There are a couple other artists that flew under the radar: Nick Drake and Chris Whitley. Both blow my mind . Both gone far too soon.😥
@@lynnschnekenburger7270 just been learning some Nick Drake stuff,I’ve met his sister a few times.
@joeln fildes - I'm sure that being a musician, you appreciate Nick Drake more than most and grasp the depth of emotion in his work. No doubt, you will play his work beautifully. Meeting his sister must have been lovely.
If you haven't or if you have heard of him, then my comments will be irrelevant , but to me, Chris Whitley was one of the best to ever set foot on stage with a National steel resonator guitar. He was incredible. I was fortunate enought to see him twice. I was not lucky enough to see Nick Drake or Terry Reid in his early years. Like Reid and Drake, he was under the radar. Chris Whitley's daughter, Trixie Whitley , is quite something as well. She is a solo artist, but has recorded some LPs with Daniel Lanois, under the name Black Dub.
@@lynnschnekenburger7270 Weirdly enough,a singer songwriter I used to play with (Big Drake fan) Supported Lanois on a euro tour,he’s called Craig Davies,(Salford,uk) he was signed to Rough Trade and managed by Geoff Travis (Smiths/Strokes and owner of Rough Trade) Like Drake,he is a troubled soul,but check out his stuff ‘Craig Davies,Groovin on a shaft cycle’ his one ‘big’ song was called Jenifer Holliday.He was a big influence on Badly Drawn Boy,who was the tape op in the studio where Craig recorded,and also a friend,and has the legendary Danny Thompson playing bass on his album’s…the other album is called Like Narcisus….check him out,I reckon you will approve,although we always got to the stage where the music and band were bang on,and he would kinda ‘fold’…shame,as he could have been one of the greats.
met him out side his mums house , had a quick word as i knew his mum well when she used sell fruit ,
perfect Gentleman lovely guy Fantastic talent , and lived his early years just up the road , God bless,
If you're an aspiring young male vocalist there's 3 English blokes you need to study..Steve Marriott, Paul Rodgers and Terry Reid..these are outstanding and there's dozens more you could learn from.
Bravo, sir! 👍👍👍
Absolutely agree with you!!!!
I just heard Terry...for the 1st time....in my 60 years.... Life just turned over a new page again!!! WOW❤️
@@Tdog1961 Me too, brother
my pal, Dave Milsap (Delbert McLinton's x lead gtr) turned me on to him this yr. I have never heard him in my 60yrs of rockin n rollin. WOW!
Peace o Christ 2 u, Anthony! ~ cj
Y E S!
Andrew, thank u for including S Mattiot. My fav! Met him in '86. Great cat! RIP :(
His voice breaks up so beautifully
The greatest vocalist in the world..... but can't understand more than 2 words
TWO words!! That's two more than me!!🤯 However the rhythm is swinging..
Terry Reid with the Legendary Lee Miles and Soko Richardson.
Awsome
freddy krueger
My favorite live music TV performance ever, I think.
One of mine to mate
freddy krueger
It makes me happy about music and humble about music every time I see it.
Me to bro
This song came on autoplay as I was just tidying up, and it has been a real personal favourite, love this man's voice
There have been numerous cover versions of this masterpiece but none compare to this wonderful live version by the maestro, Terry.
I would never have hear of him until a good friend moved stateside and took to sending us cassettes every few weeks of new music he was findin there. The first one we heard was Teery Reid ...the River. And thane he showed up on the Whistletest...it was still hard to find his music though even living in London. What happy times they were.
They say that if you remember the sixties you weren't there. I was and don't remember Terry Reid. Seems I missed out on such a talented musician. I will be playing much more of Terry's music. Thanks to Bonamassa for the interview which brought Terry Reid to my attention.
That is a shame! I started listening to him in 1969 and have never stopped. His voice moves me!
REO's cover of this song has always been one of my favorites.
Always been a big Terry Reid fan but, for reasons I can't fathom, I'd not seen this OGWT clip until this year! It is impossible to say how good this is, without using expletives! Just f*****g blown away!
This track and also Live Life from the same set are amazing recordings.
I couldn't understand a single word but that was amazing! And thinking about the Led Zeppelin twist just makes it all the more interesting.
I saw Terry perform at the Miami Pop Festival in December 1968.. I was very young and just getting started on guitar and became a fan of his at that concert.. I learned Tinker Tailor soon after.. another act on the bill was Fleetwood Mac.. well before Lindsey and Stevie.. Peter Greene was still in the band.. they left a big impression.. I remember walking through the crowd and Jack Casady walked right by me.. that was cool.. there was some very trippy L for sale that I got my hands on and that made the festival very festive.. LOL.
How he swaggers that groove is so good..
Such beautiful words ...." Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm?" The emotion these words invoke - take my breath away, give me peace, serenity and I find that beauty in the world that sets my soul free. I am one of the lucky ones who found this man and his music. A heartfelt thank you.✌❤
An incredible talent, his performance at Woodstock was one of the best! Very underrated guitarist, very unique, original bluesy country, this is the stuff that we grew up with, - kids! This is brilliant 😊
At Woodstock? Don't you mean Glastonbury?
Terry Reid never played Woodstock !!
@@douglasweston126 I think he means the festival at Glastonbury... for our friends across the Atlantic, it was their Woodstock...
Terry couldn't get a ride or helicopter to get to the stage. He was actually there but like others: stuck in traffic!
He was stunning at Glastonbury. Nice guy too, available and open.
Terry Reid was the opening act for Cream in 1968. i went to the concert in baltimore to see them. TR BLEW me away! i always wondered about his career. -am glad that(through the internet) i've been able to find out about him and his career. GREAT!
I was at that concert! I never forgot Terry after that he was AMAZING!
I saw them in Philadelphia Nov 1 1968
Could be forgiven to think this was a young Chris Robinson? magic voice!
Congratulations you hit the jackpot
i only discovered him tonight 27 03 24 , wow ,ge turned sown Zeppelin , he is great wow
Everything I want to say has already been said. The most magical underated male vocalist of his generation. And a super pretty pixie person ❤x
The greatest British rock voice of all time!
God this is amazing. All of you 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Reminds me so much of Chris Robinson. Great.
I thought the same thing !! All I seen was Black Crows !!!
Almost like Chris stole his entire act from Terry
@@carlfreeman6687 I'd say borrowed from him, the Stones and The Faces. Make no mistake though, Chris can sing his ass off.
Why is this chap not more widely known? What a talent, respected by his peers but most wouldn't know who he is! ❤
I LOVE IT when a song makes you cry
One of my favorite vocalist's and all around great musician...
Just found him. Sorry, it took so long. Love it.
Came across TR recently in a doco about 70’s music on Apple most of which didn’t really grab my attention until a tiny clip of TR playing at Glastonbury was shown. Immediately drew me in, spellbound I had to know more and so here I am listening to this for about the 100th time. Sublime!
WHO'S STILL LISTENING IN 2022
2024 live Terry .... always have, always will ! ❤🎶🥰🎵
Beautiful
3:47 - that particular decision on the rhythm of his guitar was gorgeous.
You're right to point that out, it could've gone wrong that, but if course it didn't. Magic.
The musicianship is great here. I don't know, but he seems to be watching the bass player and vice versa like they've got a complete understanding. The song has a structure that you could just jam on it and play around at will. I love songs as a musician that you can get the vibe of an audience and play it for as long or as short as you feel, which this kind of has.
First thing that comes to my mind when I listen to Terry in retrospect to the 1990's is Chris Robinson from Black Crows. He had to be an influence on Chris.
shocked at how much i cant stop this on repeat
Fine music
3.31-3.36......oh my fucking god. I think I just heard one of the greatest vocal snippets known to mankind. Kill me now, I'm done ❤️
Breathtaking!!! ❤❤❤
Class.
One of the best. Absolutely lits my vibration. Thanks to my dad for his good taste in music and all the rest. In these testing times as a geordie woman who's a bit travelled lol I listen to you and my heart sings. I fucking love you Terry. Love from a good soul to another. Wherever you are know that you are appreciated and loved❤️
In Southern California..
Just discovered this guy through Joe bonamassa saying how good he was wow he was rite
Terry's first three albums are essential listening in my opinion, add to those his 1976 masterpiece "Seed of Memory" and you have a great afternoon of pure musical joy. EVERYONE should know about Terry!
I thank Chris Cornell for covering him and introducing him to me and others.
Joe is right but so is a broken clock twice a day 😜
joe sucks,,a complete poser,,.. At least he's gotton someone older to hip him to Terry Reid
Same here. I thought I was relatively in the know about classic rock / blues guitarists but man how wrong was I. I can't believe in my 39 years on this planet I am only just hearing of Terry Reid.
Everything about this is perfect. Wow. Just wow.
Another of my favorites.....
Pure gold, nothing could touch him then or since … listen to that grove , that voice , that feel 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wish I could listen to the WORDS! hahaha
just magic.
It's been 24hrs since I found this vid and ive listened to many times
Same.
gloriously mellow performance
Them vocals.
I saw this on ogwt when I was at school and thought it amazing. As life goes on you drift in and out of music. I saw it again on ogwt earlier in the year and it brought back memories. A phenomenal singer and performance.
Chris Robinson comes to mind .
How have I not heard of him before?
I discovered him late too. I’m always be grateful to my guitar teacher for the introduction..
Timeless and totally Epic
Back in the 60s there was The Rolling Stones The Beatles and Terry Reid !!!
You know that also! I had an album cover taped above my dorm bed. I listed to his music all the time. My 33 and 38 year old kids love him also. 😎✌️❤️
Beautiful, and music to my ears. Is this man cool, or is he cool?
Hearing for the first time, almost dead
