Thanks for the shout out and sincere appreciation for vets, especially VietNam era vets. Soulful singing without prep or practice! Thanks. It was a nice sharing and tribute to old friends as well as all the guys who served.
Another LAYLA ALBUM QUESTION for Bobby: Who is playing tabla on "Bell Bottom Blues" and on "I Am Yours"? Is that Jim Gordon or an uncredited guest tabla player? I've never seen or heard Jim being credited with tabla anywhere else, and while it isn't master level tabla technique, whomever it is is displaying legitimate tabla skill - like they actually studied and practiced the instrument for at least a little while.... unlike many western drummers who just hit them like bongos or something. Also, Carl Radle is credited with 'percussion' on the Layla album. Do you remember what he may have played? Thank you in advance for any insights!! Love, love, love all of your video discussions! (PS - And I apologize if this question should be posted or submitted somewhere else. If so I don't know where other than randomly on a recent video.)
Bobby has one of the most distinctive voice's in Rock history!!This show is fantastic.Yall could go on the road as a comedy act.Great stuff.Thanks & keep it going.
Your rite they have great chemistry together i wish they would do a show in Atlanta songs ,stories, it would make for an entertaining experience for us average Joe's that appreciate the history of that era of really good music and personalities. Keep it coming.

Thx again and for the compliment USN Vet. 73-76, even had Frank Sinatra on board my boat 7.5.74 USS MIDWAY Yokosuka, Japan. Frank was less then 24 hours live at the Tokyo Budokon and some Sailors approached Frank's inner circle and Frank was there the next day giving us a FREE CONCERT. Frank Sinatra was one of the most unselfish artist God put on this Beautiful Planet.
People talk about messed up things are now but I tell them "Hey, I lived thru the 60s!" Vietnam, major race riots in multiple cities, Kent State, Presidential assaination, Nixon...I could go on & on. We were truly a nation divided but we saw our way out of it, not because of government or politicians, but because of our common, everyday good people.
Listened to Trucks Teddechi Band's Layla & Assorted Love Songs Album it was fantastic as expected, however after listening to Rebecca & Megan Lovell's version of Bell Bottom Blues I thought it was much better & it was just the 2 of them Rebecca on Accoustic Megan on Slide have you heard their version if so what did you think?
Thank you for your open hearts, you share your love and peace so effortlessly. Blessings to you both and all your followers. Especially to our service men and women who are always on duty. May peace prevail.
I really enjoyed this so much. You're fine folks, cool people. I hope that things are going great for you both. Great musicians and animal lovers too. It will be interesting to see what paintings you will be dreaming next Bobby. All the best. Would love to play the blues with you. ✨
My draft number was 27, as I recall. Thankfully, 1954 was not called to service in that last year. I was ready to paddle a canoe across Lake Ontario from my hometown of Rochester. Thanks to those who went there, and the family members I had, who paid the ultimate price for serving.
Could you have meant 1974? I was in that last draft lottery, A1 and number 2. Not 1, but 2! Nixon, next day, said they weren't going to take anyone. I could have kissed him. I was just lucky, but I would have gone. My brother was in the Navy and my first cousin, who introduced me to the Delaney & Bonnie and Friends is now a retired Naval Commander.
God Bless y'all , Bobby and Coco ! I'm a Texan and a musician and I'm sure glad y'all live in Texas too ! Thank You so much for making a video honoring our brave Vets , I too lost a lot of very dear sweet friends in Vietnam and I want to honor their memory with y'all ... 👍🏻😍
Beautiful. Legend. Peace to you and your wife and family. I hate to say I'm a fan, but I am. Musician to Musician. Songwriter to Songwriter. Singer to singer. Love to Love. Thank you. Hope I didn't do so bad, but I'm still trying at 56.
Thanks for the song, Bobby! Very beautiful and soulful. About your friend Bob (sorry, couldn't catch his last name), it's funny but my dad was in Vietnam, maybe a little earlier than your friend (he was there 18 months,1964-65), and was assigned to a South Vietnamese Ranger battalion as an instructor to teach the Vietnamese Rangers how to call in airstrikes, but he really did all the work. It's true, that was a dangerous job because they were at the point, looking to attract enemy fire to get their location, so that the pilots could drop their bombs on target. Luckily he made it home without a scratch after doing two tours there.
In 1971, I married my Highschool sweetheart. She was 17 and I was 18.A few months later I got my Draft notice for the Army so I went down and Joined the Marine Corp (71-74).Semper Fi.
Such a sad song, hadn't heard it for about thirty years or more. You sang it beautifully. Thank you both. Btw, it's really not a good idea to do things for no other reason than pissing off the neighbours. Take it from someone with lots and lots of experience 😂😂😂
Lost a cousin and Had a good friend come back screwed up and committed suicide, Now we buy sneakers from Vietnam, so much for Governments and Politicians, wasted lives and killing for no reason.....
Absolutely, nevertheless.. our boys were being killed.. the people of Vietnam Bring killed. It was a bloodbath and so we commend those in the service. My father was a fighter pilot and also in the service as a lifer. Funerals every week. I grew up in a military family, i never saw my dad. CoCo
@@BW-CC totally agree our service men and women don't get the option to agree or disagree, if we want to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, our leaders need to think long and hard before sending them into untenable situations. It was wrong for those who served to be treated as they were, just as it is now.
Thank you for your little quips, I have seen everyone and am always entertained. I am a long time fan, ever since i saw you at the Fillmore East back in 1970. I have a question, Layla is one of my favorite albums and of course over the years with all of my moves lost it. I am going to repurchase it and there are 2 choices the 4oth Anniversary & the Original, if you were going to get this album again,which would you suggest ? I appreciate your help and Keep on Rocking, you and CoCo are tremendous!
What young men went through there. And just as you said, so for many who made it home the suffering continued all their lives. 💔 Tony Sheridan (you guys may know him?) got a band together to play for the American soldiers in Vietnam. Not the usual way, being flown in for one show and right back out. (Which is fine, too, of course.) But Tony wanted to bring upbuilding music and...love, really, to the boys in the jungles. Many of them were feeling unsupported. Tony and the band lived with them for months. They were fired upon plenty, one bandmate got killed. Tony was reported dead back in England, but he survived---with nightmares, loud sounds setting off panic, drug issues. (He said he'd buy Marlboro cigarettes in Saigon packaged with the plastic just like new, but they were actually from China and spiked, so kids making it back to the US would be addicted.) The US army made him an honorary captain. I got to know Tony just a little. But almost all of this I learned from a video of Tony's reunion with one of the band. His song "Indochina" is here on youTube, it's beautiful. He was fiercely private, and more than little volatile, and people (Beatles fanatics, I think!) have written all kinds of baloney online about him. He was really a very sweet guy. ❤️ Thanks so very much Bobby and Coco for these conversations. And you have to know that your singing and playing is on another level of expressive. It helps. With everything.
Hey Bobby, was wondering if you had given any thought to reaching out to Eric at all and giving him a little support. As you've seen lately he's been heavily scrutinized . Its crazy , I mean the man had a serious negative reaction to this vaccine so I get where he is coming from. Anyway, you might have already done so I dont know , but if not Im sure he'd enjoy hearing from you and it might open up a long overdue conversation.. Who knows, maybe you two can jam together here soon. Im sure many people would love to see that. I know I would !
Your music has gotten many a person through many a night and foxhole, Bobby!!! Coco, you and Bobby brought me to tears with this one. 💜💛 *ps- I had a roommate/co-worker when I was living in Marin County who was a vet living with the after effects of Agent Orange. Man, that was some terrible sh..stuff. He went through hell with his skin because of it, I mean suffered. What horrors doth man make.
yes, you are right, we must thank All the veterans that went and fought to save all of our freedoms. My cousins son is 49 years old did 4 tours over there in the middle east since 1994 and just two weeks ago just got promoted, dig this to a General of the U.S. army at Fort Hood, there in Texas. Very impressive a General in the Family. Dang I haven't seen him since 1987 but still he is family however distant it may be. He did a great job for our nation to be promoted to a General. WOWEE. I WAS SO SCARD BACK IN 1974 WHEN TURNING 18 AFRAID till they finally stopped the draft. I was so scared I figured gosh guess I will have to go to Canada I figured, I couldn't even climb the ropes in Gym class, pretty weak if they were going to have to count on me to conquer the enemy we are in big trouble. all I wanted to do back then was play my guitar a nd become the BEST I could be.. seemed that was all I could do really well compared to the more macho fellas out there so to speak. The bigger burly football guys etc.. anyway my hats are off to all the men and women that have served and are still serving this country, my dad too was in world war II . all my uncles as well like yours were too I am sure although I am guessing. We where I live also have Luke Air Force Base out here fairly close or near my home oh maybe 10 or 12 miles or so away, so, Phx. is very military aware I think, so that is a good thing,, be safe & stay Healthy guys. and enjoy.... great story....... ........ M.G.
You were willing to lay your life on the line for your Country, but you can't be prescribed medical marijuana to help with PSTD after returning home? That's messed up. Thanks for your service brother.
You're welcome. I'd do it again if I could. There's nothing in this world as fun as lining up a shot squeeze the trigger and watching a VC drop. Kick it up to full auto and watch them cut down row after row. There's nothing like the smell of napalm and burning flesh to stimulate your senses. 500 hundred pound bombs going off all around, they fell like you got kicked in the gut by a mule. I did two tours with the 173d airborne brigade. Want to see a day in the life, RUclips "C" company 2nd battalion 173d airborne. I went to Vietnam at 17, I turned 18 in a fire fight in a open rice field nowhere to hide so I ran and down behind a berm between paddies about 18 inches high. I'll never forget that birthday ever.
Thank you to all the veterans out there for your service. You are the hero's of our country. And Bobby, your song is a great tribute to them. I love that album. I listen to it every week.
Working construction in Nashville, there was a disabled vet on the crew named Eddie who suffered the effects of agent orange...everybody looked out for him
Laughter is the best medicine. We laid my wife's best friend to rest today. she was a wonderful wife, mother, and friend. On her own she built a rehab center for youth and adults in new Iberia Louisiana. Her picture is in webster's dictionary under the word giving. she never lived a day without Jesus. Thanks Bobby and Coco. I bet you did not know what this video would mean to a listener. We love you guys.
I'm a retired veteran. I remember how those guys coming home from Vietnam got treated by many of their peers who opposed the war. It was nice to hear someone such as yourself speak respectfully of those who served. War takes a heavy toll on those who participate in it, a good portion of which occurs after they come back home. We need to be conscious of that today. The generation of career service members who came up behind me have spent their entire careers fighting a prolonged war, the longest war in our 2 1/2 century existence as a nation. Far too many of them now feel alienated from our society. This generation of vets also needs the kind of compassionate perspective that you expressed in your song. Thanks for writing that song when you did, and thanks for the love you wrote, and breathed into it. ✌❤
Hi Matt! I think you're so right about compassion. ❤️ We may not support a certain war or any war at all, but the ones coming home have suffered. They need love and dignity. Whenever we show compassion aren't we healing ourselves a little too?
My appreciation of you two went up even more if that is possible,, You two are true Americans. I play a lot at the VA Hospital and the American Legion and the Vets are the best to play for,, A great video again,, How can someone give this a thumbs down??? what are they thinking!!!
A question just popped in my head and forgive me if it's been asked, my memory isn't always what used to be. Pot holes, you know what I mean, haha! I was wondering if Bobby had any memories or stories about the making of the movie Vanishing Point, and if he could shed light on how DandB wound up in it?
George Eubanks, may he rest in peace, was in Nam and friend of yours who introduced me to you. Nam seemed make George a troubled soul. Just another Millington boy.
So cool. Thanks. Can you please ask Bobby about Badge? In the fall of 1969 when I was living in Martin, TN that song helped me. I figured Bobby would know the story. Peace y'all.
Thought I'd give you the little insight I have about "Badge". George Harrison wrote the lyrics, got stuck after the line "I told you not to wander 'round in the dark" & Ringo came up w/ "I told you 'bout the swans that they live in the park". Eric Clapton saw George's handwritten lyrics upside down while sitting across from him & where George had written "Bridge" at a point in the song he said "what's that, Badge?". Clapton I believe wrote most of the music & George played rhythm guitar on it credited as "L'Angelo Mysterioso" on the original Cream Goodbye album sleeve so the record company wouldn't have to pay him royalties! Common practice at the time to disguise performers in such fashion. Hope this gives you a little insight to the songs' origins. Mark.
Oh I got the new TTB Layla Revisited today. I've only had time to listen to a few songs so far. Its weird hearing Derek and his slide. ABB was a jam band too, and its hard not to hear it in some of the songs. Kind of bitter sweet when I remember you talking about Duane getting a lot of the recognition. I do like Trey Anastasio's voice. Always love Susan's voice. :)

Thank you! Loving your vids, memories and company and feel so lucky and special to have shared these times with you and yours, the Legends.
Another nice episode and more great vocals, Bobby! Thanks to you both!
Thanks for the shout out and sincere appreciation for vets, especially VietNam era vets. Soulful singing without prep or practice! Thanks. It was a nice sharing and tribute to old friends as well as all the guys who served.
Thank you so much for sharing these stories Bobby. I'm a huge fan of your voice it's simply amazing. Love your songwriting and playing too.
Thanks Bobby and Coco another great presentation, my dad was in world war II, was in New Guinea he came back but he never made it home.
Another LAYLA ALBUM QUESTION for Bobby:
Who is playing tabla on "Bell Bottom Blues" and on "I Am Yours"?
Is that Jim Gordon or an uncredited guest tabla player?
I've never seen or heard Jim being credited with tabla anywhere else, and while it isn't master level tabla technique, whomever it is is displaying legitimate tabla skill - like they actually studied and practiced the instrument for at least a little while.... unlike many western drummers who just hit them like bongos or something.
Also, Carl Radle is credited with 'percussion' on the Layla album. Do you remember what he may have played?
Thank you in advance for any insights!!
Love, love, love all of your video discussions!
(PS - And I apologize if this question should be posted or submitted somewhere else. If so I don't know where other than randomly on a recent video.)
Beautiful song, Bobby. My brother was a Nam vet, came back and was never the same (gone now) as happened to so many others. Thank you both for this.
💚💚

So sorry to hear your sad story Linda :( Lots of Love, laughs and truth on Coco and Bobby’s channel!
In tears... have mercy, what an amazing song & voice! Bless you both.

Thx again and for the compliment USN Vet. 73-76, even had Frank Sinatra on board my boat 7.5.74 USS MIDWAY Yokosuka, Japan.

Frank Sinatra was one of the most unselfish artist God put on this Beautiful Planet.
Great story
Just what I needed on a Sunday!
Beautiful song and sentiments.
God bless you both! ✌🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful song.
That voice, that song is like you, authentic ! . Thank you.
Thanks BW for the stories, the laughs, your heartfelt memories...you are a true treasure.....
Beautiful Bobby. Keep 'em coming!
People talk about messed up things are now but I tell them "Hey, I lived thru the 60s!" Vietnam, major race riots in multiple cities, Kent State, Presidential assaination, Nixon...I could go on & on. We were truly a nation divided but we saw our way out of it, not because of government or politicians, but because of our common, everyday good people.
Listened to Trucks Teddechi Band's Layla & Assorted Love Songs Album it was fantastic as expected, however after listening to Rebecca & Megan Lovell's version of Bell Bottom Blues I thought it was much better & it was just the 2 of them Rebecca on Accoustic Megan on Slide have you heard their version if so what did you think?
Beautiful! Just beautiful! The passion and emotion shine through.
Thank you for your open hearts, you share your love and peace so effortlessly. Blessings to you both and all your followers. Especially to our service men and women who are always on duty. May peace prevail.
Bobby, that was AWESOME! Thanks CoCo for telling him to sing!
Hey guys i love your videos .....have a nice day
Have you heard the Tedeschi Trucks Band's "Layla Revisited" album? Bobby's insights to Layla, Delaney and Bonnie, ATMP are amazing.
Love you guys...by the way, your dog has incredible timing...
I really enjoyed this so much. You're fine folks, cool people. I hope that things are going great for you both. Great musicians and animal lovers too. It will be interesting to see what paintings you will be dreaming next Bobby. All the best. Would love to play the blues with you. ✨
Love that dog

Thanks.😎👍

So what do you think of Eric working with Van Morrison for two songs today
Oh man, what a voice! Thank you for the video today!
Thanks to all the VETS got alot of family that got messed up that was a bad war alot didn't make it home we need to thank them every day
It was a time when we all became more aware of the futility and evil forces that saw us as expendable nobodies to enrich the promoters of wars.
Hey Bobby, was wondering if you had given any thought to reaching out to Eric at all and giving him a little support. As you've seen lately he's been heavily scrutinized . Its crazy , I mean the man had a serious negative reaction to this vaccine so I get where he is coming from. Anyway, you might have already done so I dont know , but if not Im sure he'd enjoy hearing from you and it might open up a long overdue conversation.. Who knows, maybe you two can jam together here soon. Im sure many people would love to see that. I know I would !
Unfortunately Eric is not the least bit interested in Bobby.
@@BW-CC Sorry to hear that Eric turned out that way , I really am. . 😒

I could listen to Bobby sing all day long. Such a classic voice! Thanks for sharing it with the world.
I did 8 years in the army. Interesting fact, V.A can't prescribe medical cannabis even in states where it is legal.
You were willing to lay your life on the line for your Country, but you can't be prescribed medical marijuana to help with PSTD after returning home? That's messed up. Thanks for your service brother.

On her own she built a rehab center for youth and adults in new Iberia Louisiana. Her picture is in webster's dictionary under the word giving. she never lived a day without Jesus. Thanks Bobby and Coco. I bet you did not know what this video would mean to a listener. We love you guys.
Sending love, hugs, and healing to you and your loved ones.
@@beeztrapp1612 thanks geez
Hi John. What a lovely person you describe. I'm with Beez here. ❤️
I'm a retired veteran. I remember how those guys coming home from Vietnam got treated by many of their peers who opposed the war. It was nice to hear someone such as yourself speak respectfully of those who served. War takes a heavy toll on those who participate in it, a good portion of which occurs after they come back home. We need to be conscious of that today. The generation of career service members who came up behind me have spent their entire careers fighting a prolonged war, the longest war in our 2 1/2 century existence as a nation. Far too many of them now feel alienated from our society. This generation of vets also needs the kind of compassionate perspective that you expressed in your song. Thanks for writing that song when you did, and thanks for the love you wrote, and breathed into it. ✌❤
Hi Matt! I think you're so right about compassion. ❤️ We may not support a certain war or any war at all, but the ones coming home have suffered. They need love and dignity. Whenever we show compassion aren't we healing ourselves a little too?
@@konstantia1607 Perhaps that's right.
They don't count
My appreciation of you two went up even more if that is possible,, You two are true Americans. I play a lot at the VA Hospital and the American Legion and the Vets are the best to play for,, A great video again,, How can someone give this a thumbs down??? what are they thinking!!!
A question just popped in my head and forgive me if it's been asked, my memory isn't always what used to be. Pot holes, you know what I mean, haha!
I was wondering if Bobby had any memories or stories about the making of the movie Vanishing Point, and if he could shed light on how DandB wound up in it?
No
@@BW-CC I figured, based on timing. Thanks for answering. 😁😁💚
Thank You!
Thank you for your Blessed Song, and remembering those many who Served. Much to be thankful for as we are still Present !
Another great video. 👍 Bobby, your singing voice is as strong now, if not even stronger, as it was 50 years ago. What's that dog's name?
George Eubanks, may he rest in peace, was in Nam and friend of yours who introduced me to you. Nam seemed make George a troubled soul. Just another Millington boy.
So cool. Thanks. Can you please ask Bobby about Badge? In the fall of 1969 when I was living in Martin, TN that song helped me. I figured Bobby would know the story. Peace y'all.
Thought I'd give you the little insight I have about "Badge". George Harrison wrote the lyrics, got stuck after the line "I told you not to wander 'round in the dark" & Ringo came up w/ "I told you 'bout the swans that they live in the park". Eric Clapton saw George's handwritten lyrics upside down while sitting across from him & where George had written "Bridge" at a point in the song he said "what's that, Badge?". Clapton I believe wrote most of the music & George played rhythm guitar on it credited as "L'Angelo Mysterioso" on the original Cream Goodbye album sleeve so the record company wouldn't have to pay him royalties! Common practice at the time to disguise performers in such fashion. Hope this gives you a little insight to the songs' origins. Mark.
Wow Bobby Whitlock....
Oh I got the new TTB Layla Revisited today. I've only had time to listen to a few songs so far.
Its weird hearing Derek and his slide. ABB was a jam band too, and its hard not to hear it in some of the songs.
Kind of bitter sweet when I remember you talking about Duane getting a lot of the recognition. I do like Trey Anastasio's voice. Always love Susan's voice. :)
I noticed Bobby's watches in these videos. What is his favorite timepiece?
Just an aside from your discussion Bobby. I have just listened to the Layla album performed by The Tedeschi Trucks Band. They have done you proud!
Great song bro, we shouldn’t live a day without Jesus.
Build an outhouse close to the road.
Yes, they are very poopular.
The empty new house is looking more & more like a cozy home with every video , lookin good ya’all !
I love these vids, but I wish they would mic Bobby. The nuances of his speech are sometimes missed.
Good stuff
All gave some some gave all thanks for the chat peace
gimme that lobster !
You both
