RIP Sam Moore (October 12, 1935 - January 10, 2025), aged 89 And RIP Dave Prater (May 9, 1937 - April 9, 1988), aged 50 You both will be remembered as legends.
I guess if you are the children of a generation who would have stuck these entertainers into a camp and killed them for being black just 25 years before you're probably a bit uptight and disoriented.
They couldn't be squares. Hear all that great ApplAUsE? So I wonder if they were just tired, sore, from sitting on bleachers. Otherwise they'd be moving!!! They had to
These guys did more to break down the walls of the racial divide than most today do. Shit, I thought these guys the two coolest dudes on the planet. And I couldn't get enough. Still can't. Sam and Dave. Respect.
That brought a thought to me that there's a song about the Boogaloo and the Shake or something like that, isn't there? Thanks, now, I gotta check it out. lol
@@sandragriffiths9692The shake was a dance. I was posting abt the song I now know was "Nobody but Me" by the Human Beinz, about the boogaloo, the shake, etc...
In 1966, i was 14 years old and went to a party in Raleigh ,NC They were playing Hold on i”m comin.. The kids had a dance to it .The song still moves me 58 years later .. Yes … This is when songs had a meaning that you could identify with .. but arrangements and “Grooves” that captivated their audience !!
I am too young to have heard this song when it came out but hearing it always gives me shivers down my spine. The idea that someone’s coming to save me or that I might be on the way to save someone is so energizing. It goes right to my heart. I’m incredulous that the audience was barely moving as I’d definitely be dancing to that fabulous performance. Sam and Dave were incredible and their music still holds up nearly 60 years later. What an exciting time it must have been!
I did, in London on the Stax tour with Otis and Booker T, they were fantastic, so fantastic that I saw them twice on one day. Those were the days when you could queue for tickets on the door.
Sounds like Church to me. "Oh Lord. I'm comin'." Those brass players just add to an overall great choreography supporting a great sound. A quality act.
A pleasure to see, the pre ordained sound of motown, in 1967, even the PA was in column speakers hehehehe, now thats historic, thanks for the music people, , great song
Aw, has it gotta be a black or white thing? The applause was quite energized and very loud, lots of whistling, too. They could have been all danced out. We weren't there. However, if Sam and Dave were put on toward the tail end of the party, someone screwed up, big time.
Takes me right back to my youth, R&B aka soul music was right there in the top 40 playlists. We were fortunate enough to have R&B stations as well that did cross over to some "blue eyed soul" like the Righteous Brothers. Some BOSS tunes man
Yes, I remember those times, too. I miss the music, the soul, R&B etc. absolutely great music and now we have rap, which I hate, it doesn't require any talent.
@@wwrunk5551 I think Sam is a tenor, and Dave is a baritone (not quite as low as a bass). That's what it sounds like to me. They mix very well together!!!
❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸 1966, I was five. I’m so lucky that I got to listen to this kind of music and love it. Back when Sam and Dave and their band were such great musicians and they were all great entertainers. They made us love life. Back when our country wasn’t so divided and we all loved each other. Thank you Sam and Dave. Back when ticket prices were five bucks in the middle class was real. We didn’t need all this phony make up and crap. Because we have real Music back then with real talent.
PURE! Pure Charisma 's & POWer's!~i Felt & Heard from my start of hearing them in 1960's on Chicago AM RAdio via mono small speaker transistor radio after listening also in my Dad's parked car until battery had just enough Amps to start car~i would test "PRN". Best's, dtf
Sam Moore’s voice inspired a young University of Miami pre-med student to chuck his scrubs and classrooms for a career as a full-time songwriter and producer. That young man, Steve Alaimo, discovered the unknown Sam & Dave in 1961 at the King of Hearts, both Sam and Joyce Moore said in December when Alaimo died at 84. This singer and producer helped make the Miami sound - and was a force behind big hits Overtown soul singers Sam & Dave, who would find fame in the 1960s and induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Alaimo, in his early ‘20s, was electrified by the duo on stage. He saw star quality in Moore’s aching, swooping tenor and Prater’s gruff baritone. He produced and co-wrote the recordings that helped Sam & Dave score major label deals with Stax, a landmark R&B/soul label out of Memphis, and New York-based Atlantic Records that called North Miami’s Criteria Studios its Southern hub.
Rest in Peace to my Uncle Jimmy Raleigh Norris on guitar 🎸 in the white shirt.. ❤️
Oh man! That is cool AF. Bet he had a wealth of stories!
❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️👑👑👑
That was an amazing live performance for the year it was. Amazing song as well. It is a real classic. One of my favorites.
RIP to your uncle!
Great playing! I'm a rhythm guitar plater. I can tell!
Wow! Four Tenor Saxes, one Baritone, a Trumpet and a Trombone. Now THAT'S a Horn Section!!
RIP Sam Moore (October 12, 1935 - January 10, 2025), aged 89
And
RIP Dave Prater (May 9, 1937 - April 9, 1988), aged 50
You both will be remembered as legends.
One of the best songs EVER ❤️
Imagine seeing this live, and sitting there motionless the whole time.
Stiffs
I can't go for that no no

@@alexandraasbury9974 Abyine there is cool for life. 😛
Why on earth isn’t that audience on their feet and dancing?! I am dancing here in my apartment, listening to this. They were wonderful!
'Cause there Germans. They don't dance.. they march
'Cause they're Germans. And haven't received their orders yet.
😆
@@theseeingeye454 you’ve obviously never been to Germany

not true
It was the year of 1967, they were Sam & Dave, the dance back then was called the Boogaloo.
I remember that.
That brought a thought to me that there's a song about the Boogaloo and the Shake or something like that, isn't there? Thanks, now, I gotta check it out. lol
@@alexandraasbury9974 Shake was Otis wasn't it?

@@sandragriffiths9692 R U talking abt Otis Redding? He was good, too!!
Motown music is forever. Thanks to Sam & Dave we've got to Hold On. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰
So cool, so special. There needs to be more music like that - right now!
There never will be, times and music has changed. Gangsta rap and hip hop have taken over, it's a real shame.
Mr Raleigh played great guitar…thanks for sharing!
This is what l was fortunate enough to be listening to in elementary school in the 1960s.
Me too! We were so lucky. True talent. Phenomenal entertainers.
Was the crowd a bunch of zombies? How can they not be dancing/jumping to this great classic.....
This was in Germany. They heard "I'm coming" and were just waiting to find out where they were going.
@@terry_willis -- LoL, Good one!
even zombies would move to this...

How can you sit still, watching this live?? Horn section is great btw
I wish I could go back in time and see a Sam and Dave Concert.
I saw Sam and Dave open for James Brown and- on that night- Sam and Dave were better!
@@alzo7891 ...Yes, Indeedy!!! And James didn't like it, one bit! LOL!!! Sam and Dave was dangerous, PERIOD!!!
I did, in London on the Stax tour with Otis and Booker T, they were fantastic, so fantastic that I saw them twice on one day. Those were the days when you could queue for tickets on the door.
The real Blues Brothers? ❤️🙂
DUH
Five Saxes. a Trumpet, and a Slide! And Sam and Dave! Geeez!
The quintessential 1960s soul single!
Booker T and the MGS
Now I want to watch the blues brothers again.....LOL Love their tunes.
I’ve heard the studio version countless times.., but this live version is way better
Four Saxes on the left, a Sax on the right with a Trombone and a Trumpet. I would be on my feet with my arms in the air. And I'm not even religious.
I can picture it 👍😉😁
OH THIS IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I 💓it
Awesome performance,real singing & real music 🎵🎶
Love Sam and Dave … ❤❤
Sounds like Church to me. "Oh Lord. I'm comin'." Those brass players just add to an overall great choreography supporting a great sound. A quality act.
Yeah I feel like the sweet Lord is singing through these men who are his instruments right to my heart and soul! I will hold on bc I feel the spirit
@@Sunnysunflower333 Ahem. Not to burst your bubble, but I didn't say I like Church, just that it sounds like it.
the composition of this song with isaac haeys has nothing of church 😂😂😂😂
@@anabeatris3981 You must have no ears if you cant hear the gospel influences that run throughout this song
What a performance.
Legendary timeless performance, thank u for sharing!👍
Rest in peace Sam Moore 1-10-25 and Dave Prater in 1988. Your back up band The Bar-Kays all in heaven too!
Best teen memories ... Greatest Soul ... I thank YOU! Simply THE BEST!
A pleasure to see, the pre ordained sound of motown, in 1967, even the PA was in column speakers hehehehe, now thats historic, thanks for the music people, , great song
Amazing performance! Can't believe there's not many hundred's of thousands of more views. And those deadbeats the front rows don't have a pulse. :)
White peeple lol How could anyone sit still for this?
Aw, has it gotta be a black or white thing? The applause was quite energized and very loud, lots of whistling, too. They could have been all danced out. We weren't there. However, if Sam and Dave were put on toward the tail end of the party, someone screwed up, big time.
This is post war Europe. They are stunned. Never heard; seen; experienced anything like this. You have to change gears and go way back in time.
@@robertwener4561 you're right, no question a different time for sure!
Great soul, Forever great Sam e Dave ❤🙏🙏🌹 the story of stax, Legend 💪
I wished music was this good again! Artist take note! Bring it back
Producers have something to say about that. And it's "NO!'.
Saw them in 1968 at the University of Alabama. Super Duper great!
So great and we are fresh in the Army in 1967 --it played all over the PX's.
Lord have MERCY !!!
So Much STAMINA. The horns. The energy. Makes me believe in the 2nd coming
Motown in the summer cruises…..
The good stuff❤️🇺🇸
Man, were they slick 😃👌
Takes me right back to my youth, R&B aka soul music was right there in the top 40 playlists.

this song is musically simple but it's hard as hell to sing! Brilliantly captivating and catchy piece of amazing music, baby!
Right, and Dave had a little trouble with tunes in a high key, but Sam..........it didn't bother him.
A good deal of it depends on where your range is. Maybe just try to sing with people who have voices like yours (in pitch).
@@wwrunk5551 I think Sam is a tenor, and Dave is a baritone (not quite as low as a bass). That's what it sounds like to me. They mix very well together!!!
Those 8 steps/foot movements that Dave took from 1:18 to 1:22 were right with the beat of the bass guitar.-Beautiful
Bass guitar and drums.
Proper R&B these guys.
Hold On BEAT, BEAT, BEAT........I'M COMING.....TOO THANKYOU FOR POSTING THIS BEAUTIFUL TUNE
Totally awesome proper music👍👍👍
Oh yessssssss 2 of the very best plus a great band !!!!!
Quite the memories!! 👍❤️
Personally my Favourite duo ever
At that time, only true talents stood out.
Imagine the act that has to follow those guys. Yeesh!
Thank God for the hippies because they actually helped the black movement of the late 60s gain momentum
Double Dynamite!
OMG, I played this song three times for a quarter in my off school lunch place on the juke box! (3 plays for a quarter in 1968)!
Soul,soul!
Nothing like the cheap rap acts at the Superbowl today
God bless Stax
I was born in 1967! I was singing this to my mom! " Hold On, I'm Coming!"🥰🥰😁🤷🏾♀️😎
Real deal
Smooth little steps by Dave from 1:21 to 1:23.
He was a legend
A fabulous come back song! 🔥
Land of soul music 🥂Dreamy
Mein Gott...those horns! ️🎷️🎷️🎷️🎷️🎷️🎺️🎶
Danke, Beat Club!
And Stevie Windwood was 15 yo playing piano. Oh my, great stuff.
He is still great now.
Wow!! Incredible! My gosh,
look at that audience 🙄 😂 I wouldn't of been able to sit still!!
５０年程前、札幌のススキノのディスコでは、演奏しない所は、無かったです‼️ 皆が、ホールで踊った永遠の懐かしい曲‼️👍 最高‼️
アップ、ありがとうございます‼️👍✌️
☮️☮️☮️
Such a great clip!
Oh yeah! This is so awesome! Cheers! ✌️
Best live performers ever ,and tightest backing live band in music history,they make James brown look like a statue on stage
Little Richard and Sam &Dave employed so many sax musicians. Great time for music
Hardworking artists.
That was a good "riff" of movements by Sam from 46 seconds to 53 seconds.

I met Sam and Dave through Burnice Smith when I was a teen. They were nice. I had to move back to Fla. Lost track of every body.

This makes my day
Mine too!!
