I heard someone say Cory Wells was at the top of his game, here! I’m here to bear personal witness that Cory Wells was on the top of his game every day of his life!...in this, and every band he was in, and also in his solo career! And Danny and Chuck were also at the top of their game here. No better band than this, except maybe the Beatles, ever! Never will be again! These 3 talented men were all fabulous!♥️♥️♥️
@@tobybeau2112 Cory has passed and Chuck is no longer in TDN so that leaves TDN as Danny and new singers. Some of the band like Floyd has passed. Not the same band
@@tobybeau2112- Yeah, well without Chuck Negron, it would suck. He sang the majority of hits, along with Cory Wells. Danny Hutton didn’t sing any full songs himself…. Until Chuck wasn’t invited back in the band (before Cory died).
I was in the 8th grade in 1971. Had to take a music class, I am not musically, inclined. The music teacher said we had to get up in front of the class and sing a song. I loved Three Dog Night. I saved my money, went to People’s drug and bought their album and I sang Joy to the World. I think I did ok.
Three Dog Night should have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame years ago. It's a disgrace that they induct rappers but leave great bands like Three Dog Night out. Another band Bread should have also been inducted.
As I posted on another comment: Without a doubt. Supposedly, they aren't in the R&R Hall of Fame because they didn't write most of their own music. They did, however, write some, and more importantly, brought attention to many emerging songwriters like Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman. They also made a song their own when they recorded it (check out other versions of "Mama Told Me Not To Come", to see what I mean). And keep in mind Elvis, who is (deservedly) in many Halls of Fame NEVER WROTE A SINGLE SONG. Not one. So I call bullshit on that excuse for not including 3DN in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They helped define an era FFS.
The naysayers use the "but they didn't write their own music" approach which is crap because most of the Motown acts in the R&R HOF didn't write their own music or play instruments either but because they were in 60s and supposedly "cool" they get inducted. The HOF definitely favors the 60's over the 70's and 80's for popular music artists. At least with the fan vote we are seeing some more acts inducted that should have been in a long time ago.

Big fan of TDN. Cory was my favorite, his voice had so much soul in it. I was so sad when I learned he had passed. I'm so glad to have lived in the time when they were at the peak of their success.

I just watched an interview with Cory Wells from 2011. He said they put a halt to the band in 1975 because Danny and Chuck had fallen off the deep end due to drugs. This is probably one of the last concerts they did before that happened. How crazy that Cory was always the one that lead such a clean life and never did drugs, but then he was the first to go. 🫤 What a singer he was! He was always one of my favorites growing up. I loved to harmonize with him in the car. 😏
This is an absolute masterpiece and triumph of mid 70s live production. From the singers and band performing with pretty much no monitors, to the complexity of what the keyboard player is adding to the sound using what must be some kind of mellotron, this is mind blowing.
I'm sure the majority of people don't realize they don't have monitors. This means they can't quite hear what the others are singing. They are able to hear what's being played on the house speakers for the audience. This doesn't sound like a big deal but it is. To achieve the harmonies they do you must have perfect pitch and confidence in yourself and the other guys. This wasn't unusual for the time but what is, is the level of achievement they hit. Just a phenomenal band.
Not this band. Jimmy Greenspoon the only one from the band. Their original band ROCKED the house! Captured Live is one of my all time favorite Live albums!! They took great singles and rocked them to death!!
Many thanks it’s the middle of January 2024 classic Three Dog Night and it’s finest. Thanks for the upload. My good friend let’s see I’m 67 years old. Still grooving into these boys. They were great saw Them a whole bunch of times they were really good ! thank you for the upload !!😂❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶😍
I grew up in the 80s and caught the tail end of the golden age of music. Yeah 70s by far was the best decade. All the greats of the 60s were at their peaks during that time.
Got to see them live, 70 or 71 in San Diego Sports Arena. One of the best concerts I've experienced to this day. Definitely one of favorite groups ever. Vocals don't get any better.
I am 72 years old and saw them several times. Best concerts I'd ever been to in my life. I, myself was a drummer in rock n' roll bands, even in Southern Gospel groups. I used to put my headphones on and play my drums along with Three Dog Night. I still enjoy their music and harmony. Sorry that we have lost some of those guys. They were the greatest band ever. Better than the Beatles in my opinion. They belong in the RnR Hall of Fame!
These guys were so talented! I remember hearing these songs on the radio as a kid, but I had no idea who was singing them. Boy were the seventies a great time to be a kid!
Agree 💯 👍 I loved so many of their songs, but didn't realize until I was older that they were all the same band. And yes, the 70s was the end of good times to grow up. Helicopter parenting, rules, laws, regulations, fear, militarization of law enforcement, outlawing anything not idiot-proof, curfews, etc.. have made growing up less of an adventure, and more like regimented danger-avoidance..
The (3) greatest crossover talents (white guys that sound exactly like black guys) are and will forever be: Cory Wells, Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton! If I had Never seen who these gentlemen were---only heard their extraordinary voices, individually and collectively---I would have sworn that they were black., That is about the highest compliment that I could ever give to these major talents!
I was absolutely in love with these guys especially Cory. When I was in 5th or 6th grade my dad took me and my friend to Madison Square Garden to see TDN. We had floor seats!! Watching this concert brings back such great childhood memories. Still have all their albums.
I lost my son Jared June of 23 drugs. They found him on his phone he had sent a message to his sponsor that he needed to go back to rehab. So heartbreaking.
Three Dog Night-One of the very best bands ever! Such unique, soulful voices that blended in perfect harmony. There will never be another group like them-talented, genuine. And gee, no earphones, no auto-tune (which only makes a bad singer sound worse). I thank God that I lived through the best musical era ever: 45s, 33 1/3 rpms, and awesome album art, but oooohhhh, the music!❤️
Lucky dawg ! ! ! ! lol ,, awesome band ... 70's was a fantastic learning experience., all the different gear developments, production, cheap seats ! Thank you three dog night .. awesome ..
These guys can do no wrong. Dead on the money harmony from the front three and perfect performances from the musicians in the band: Michael, Floyd, Joe and Jimmy. Hit after hit...absolute perfection! These guys were HUGE. I grew up listening to them and was fortunate enough to attend one of their concerts with the original lineup. Thank you for posting this video...a lot of GREAT memories.
While your assessment of the musicians in the band is spot on, this is a somewhat later version of the band. Jimmy Greenspoon is still in the group (in '75), but Joe Schermie and Floyd Sneed are already gone. Michael Allsup is gone at this point, but he does return later. There's also a second keyboardist in this lineup, Skip Konte. The guitarist in this video is probably James Smith, but could also possibly be Al Ciner, depending on when in '75 it was filmed. The bassist was probably Jack Ryland, but also could have been Dennis Belfield, again depending on the timing. The drummer in this video is Mickey McMeel.
The harmony is beautiful and just think, these 3 young men never had any earphones in to listen to themselves, just the talent to blend their voices in sweet, sweet harmony. I still listen to my albums from the 80's....
Umm, they have stage monitors. You need to hear your voice and the others to sing in key and harmonize. Yes they had talent and were good. They still had to hear though it was not through earpieces.
For a band that didn't write their own songs, not only did they choose great songs to record, but the arrangements were perfect, the result is music that 40 to 50 yrs later still stands the test of time.
They did write some of their own music, but they made whatever they sang their own 👍 Can anyone imagine 3 lead singers in a band today without egos getting in the way?
I saw them in the mid 70s right here in my home town of West Palm Beach Fl. AWESOME! They were somewhat off the charts (past their prime...supposedly) at the time, but probably one of the most powerful singing displays I've ever experienced . They were FLAWLESS! "Eli's Comin"!! Just unbelievably powerful!
They were sooo perfect! Talented singers, performers! They Just had a sound so recognizable. Everyone in their band was just perfect! Beautiful men, beautiful personalities, beautiful voices. I especially miss angel Cory. I’m so sure he went to Shambala♥️💋
"I got to get briefly acquainted with Floyd Sneed. He played my drums at the open mic in Coeur d'Alene Idaho at the Moose Lounge. I was the house drummer there. He was a gentle, soft-spoken Christian man. We had some nice conversations about life and drums." ❤️🔥🕊". . .
Love the Monkees (I was 7 when they came out), but they didn't write the good songs themselves. Neil Diamond even wrote a couple. TDN did some INCREDIBLE song writing. I bought a greatest hits album of theirs with 20 tracks, and was pleased to find I knew almost every song from radio play.
@@AlbertEinsteinSpock I said OUTSELL, not how many Top 40 hits they had. Which incidentally, TDN wrote none of them. Led Zeppelin was not a singles band-they were an album band. I was speaking of total record sales. I love Three Dog Night by the way and was just listening to "Suitable For Framing" the other day. Understand that I am not demeaning Three Dog Night's legacy in any way.
@@AlbertEinsteinSpock Ok Ok I get it. Point taken. So some comparisons don't bear close examination as in my Zep retort. You seem to me to be like me in alot of respects in that we both love Classic Music. I love Three Dog Night as I mentioned in my last post. I actually own their albums as opposed to the more popular Greatest Hits packages, so I have no ax to grind with TDN. Btw, that was not directed at you. I completely agree with you.
Probably because the performance was for the PBS TV show Soundstage. There's one of their concerts on RUclips from 1969, I think, that shows the audience up on their feet.
Story about Chuck Negron's addiction is great read. Three Dog Nightmare. After 37 rehabs, he went to a cold turkey rehab place and within hours prayed for God to cure him or kill him. Went to sleep for nearly two days and realized he was cured when he awoke.
Besides being so good looking, Chucks voice is just about perfect. It’s a shame he let those factors along with the drugs really ruin him . I loved Three Dog Night ! All three so talented in their own right. They are old men now ( RIP Corey) . I think it would be wonderful to hear Dan and Chuck do another song together before it’s to late.
Just take a look and a listen to the talent up on that stage. No pyro, no fancy lights, no computer tracks, etc. Put guitars in the right hands and this is what you get......a great concert. .
such great music to have grown up with. could listen to them endlessly!! RIP Corey...........so glad that Chuck has survived it all. Wish he and Danny can mend and continue to bring the music to us Til the World Ends!
I would like to start a petition to get Three Dog Night into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame! Or if there already is one I'll sign it. I'd like to think that part of the recognition is having the original band members alive when they're inducted. I think I've heard getting in can't be sooner than 25yrs after a band starts. They should have been inducted during the 1990s! I can't figure this oversight out. Or whatever the reason might be.
+Gina Wyatt Here is a petition: www.change.org/p/jon-landau-chairman-nominating-committee-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-three-dog-night-deserves-to-be-in-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame
The main reason is they only wrote a handful of songs and none of those were hits. As great as 3DN is, they're really nothing more than a glorified cover band.
They were far more than a cover band. They personally chose (often obscure) songs and re-arranged them, making them their own and turning them into major hits. The majority of the time their version was better than the original writer's arrangement and vocals. They also brought a lot of relatively unknown songwriters to the attention of the general public. There's quite a few songwriters out there who owe a lot to Three Dog Night.
I know all of that and none of it matters. The definition of a cover band is a band that doesn't play or record original material. Period. Only 9% of their recorded material was original (if you don't count the EP at the end of their career, otherwise the percentage is lower); 91% were covers. Therefore, they are a cover band. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_band#Examples_of_cover_acts However, that doesn't take anything away from how good they were or how successful they were. I love TDN. I saw them 30some years ago when Chuck was still in the band and have read both his and Jimmy Greenspoon's autobiographies. At one time I owned all of their albums and I still listen to them occasionally. But they were still a cover band and that's why they'll probably never make it into the R&R HoF.
I saw TDN with Cory and Danny at the Republican National Convention in Houston in '92. They brought me to tears with their great performance and afterwards I got on stage and Danny signed a program I had. I still have it.
Que gran banda de rock clasico ahora en el 2024 los avia escuchado por la radio ase muchos años pero nunca avia visto sus videos asta ahora aclaro no se hablar ingles solo me dejo llevar por el ritmo y la gran bos rockera que sale de la boca de estos grandes artistas de habla inglesa
I was fortunate to see them in concert twice in Hawaii. The show was incredible, but more than that was their humor and playing to the audience. Seemed more like a private party with friends. They were without a doubt the best of the 70’s music scene.
Chuck Negron provided great vocal fills, it's very evident on Eli's Coming and Celebrate, and he was in the zone this performance. Dude was on fire. I wish I could've been there. Long live 3DN. Thanks for posting!
One of the best captures of this amazing band. So grateful I had the opportunity to witness them live in the early 80s. They were an unstoppable force and grace.
My first concert was these guys in the old Assembly Ctr. In Tulsa! It’s still the best concert I have ever been to!Every seat was taken with the floor seats also! I’ll never forget them
I was there also. Yes, indeed, it was sold out. I still remember the air was full of excitement and magic. Your comments are well said. The concert was timeless, sublime and a perfect example of Classic Rock. A wonderful, happy memory I’ll never forget either. Pure unadulterated talent of Three Dog Night. Thank you for posting this MyyyTunes. ❤❤❤❤ 🎸🎶
I saw an interview with Chuck where he told of their drug use back then. He said it was given to them by their producer so they would have lots of energy to put on a great show. Chuck said it just about took his, and his wife's lives. He said they go so kooked on it they were high every waking minute of the day. Him getting kicked out of the band, and them going broke turned them around. I agree this was one hell of a band when they were together. I loved them so much when i was a kid that i got every song they put out.
Love that you can see who sings what parts of the songs. And who’s lead singer on certain songs. The three really harmonized well together. Travesty that they are not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
Chuck Negron lead singer ONE -EASY TO BE HARD- JOY TO THE WORLD, just to name a few. One of the best vocals ever! Three Dog Night harmony better than ever!
Back in the day, like 1972, I talked with several musicians that worked with 3 Dog Night and they all said that Cory was the main force behind them. They were all lead singers, however, Cory was the main man....Plus, he was a terrific guy...and didn't have a big head.. So much talent, and he continued to improve, year after year...Any how, just saying, from a still kicking drummer...........
I just listened to Chuck doing an interview last nite which I gotta say, shocked the hell out of me. All these years I thought maybe it was Corey that Didn't want TDN back together, when it was DANNY that emphatically said NO! And if that weren't enough it was because Danny felt he wld come in 3rd in the group again. It seems Danny felt by doing his Solos he was getting ALL the attention he needed, not to mention that he (Damny), and COREY, did Not get along and.. were Always fighting! (just an fyi that I never knew about Danny). Lastly, it's Always been talked about that Chuck was the Only One on Drugs, all while DANNY was too, but many only thought it was Chuck! So a Big Kudos to Chuck for coming out with his addiction, while Danny took No Blame at all! Again a big Kudos to Chuck, and to Corey.. may You Rest in Peace dear friend~ ❤
you see how good they look here in 75 and sound I saw them in 69 think about that they were fantastic my first concert right up by the stage just like this!!! Cory Chuck and Danny are all just as great as the other each has his style
Eli's Coming - you go CORY! Oh get it on Chuck. I see that snicker for me! i saw them for the first time in Philadelphia and did things that I thought would never do. Just let me tell you I did not make it home after the concert!😁
i Am 81 and still rockin with 3 dog night
I'm 78 and rock hard still!
61 and still👍
Me too!

I’m here to bear personal witness that Cory Wells was on the top of his game every day of his life!...in this, and every band he was in, and also in his solo career! And Danny and Chuck were also at the top of their game here. No better band than this, except maybe the Beatles, ever! Never will be again! These 3 talented men were all fabulous!♥️♥️♥️

I was in the 8th grade in 1971. Had to take a music class, I am not musically, inclined. The music teacher said we had to get up in front of the class and sing a song. I loved Three Dog Night. I saved my money, went to People’s drug and bought their album and I sang Joy to the World. I think I did ok.
Cool story! Thank you.
I'd have dropped out of school at that point
Did you live in Virginia?

The harmony is beautiful and just think, these 3 young men never had any earphones in to listen to themselves, just the talent to blend their voices in sweet, sweet harmony. I still listen to my albums from the 80's....
Umm, they have stage monitors. You need to hear your voice and the others to sing in key and harmonize. Yes they had talent and were good. They still had to hear though it was not through earpieces.
Glad you lisren to your 80's albums. Three Dog Night" began in the late 60's and was really a 70's act. FYI.
Cory on Shambala: perfection!
Cory Wells was so good. Great singer and such a polished entertainer. He always looked so comfortable and that he so enjoyed what he was doing.
Great vocals and tight music. Fabulous walk down memory lane.
So young then. And they absofknlutely rocked! Thank you so much. I may be old now,but their music never will be.
Cory Wells...wow! So talented!! RIP and thank you for the great music. ❤
drums, bass, electric guitar, piano, synthesizer, harmony vocals, no overdubs, no autotune ^^
For a band that didn't write their own songs, not only did they choose great songs to record, but the arrangements were perfect, the result is music that 40 to 50 yrs later still stands the test of time.
Agreed. The only song they recorded that didn't surpass the original is Harry Nilsson's "One". I think his version is equally as good as TDN's.
They did write some of their own music, but they made whatever they sang their own 👍
Can anyone imagine 3 lead singers in a band today without egos getting in the way?
I saw them in the mid 70s right here in my home town of West Palm Beach Fl. AWESOME! They were somewhat off the charts (past their prime...supposedly) at the time, but probably one of the most powerful singing displays I've ever experienced . They were FLAWLESS! "Eli's Comin"!! Just unbelievably powerful!
What a rocking soulful performance by Corey on Try a Little Tenderness!
The best! One of my lifetime favorite songs. I am 66. That ays alot!
Out in the country is my favorite song by 3 Dog,, them and America were great at harmonizing. Aloha
Me too ❤
What a beautiful band. There will never be another group like this.
They were sooo perfect! Talented singers, performers! They Just had a sound so recognizable. Everyone in their band was just perfect! Beautiful men, beautiful personalities, beautiful voices. I especially miss angel Cory. I’m so sure he went to Shambala♥️💋
Cory was magnificent!!
the boy had soul
Cory's rendition of TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS, was so good!❤
"I got to get briefly acquainted with Floyd Sneed. He played my drums at the open mic in Coeur d'Alene Idaho at the Moose Lounge. I was the house drummer there. He was a gentle, soft-spoken Christian man. We had some nice conversations about life and drums." ❤️🔥🕊". . .
In their prime days they outsold both the Beatles and the Stones. Absolutely belong in hall of fame....and your talking to a Metallica fan.
Love the Monkees (I was 7 when they came out), but they didn't write the good songs themselves. Neil Diamond even wrote a couple. TDN did some INCREDIBLE song writing. I bought a greatest hits album of theirs with 20 tracks, and was pleased to find I knew almost every song from radio play.
Truth
I know of one band they did not outsell---The mighty Led Zeppelin
@@AlbertEinsteinSpock I said OUTSELL, not how many Top 40 hits they had. Which incidentally, TDN wrote none of them. Led Zeppelin was not a singles band-they were an album band. I was speaking of total record sales. I love Three Dog Night by the way and was just listening to "Suitable For Framing" the other day. Understand that I am not demeaning Three Dog Night's legacy in any way.
@@AlbertEinsteinSpock Ok Ok I get it. Point taken. So some comparisons don't bear close examination as in my Zep retort. You seem to me to be like me in alot of respects in that we both love Classic Music. I love Three Dog Night as I mentioned in my last post. I actually own their albums as opposed to the more popular Greatest Hits packages, so I have no ax to grind with TDN. Btw, that was not directed at you. I completely agree with you.
Note how courteous the audience is. Sat and listened to the best vocal band ever.
Probably because the performance was for the PBS TV show Soundstage. There's one of their concerts on RUclips from 1969, I think, that shows the audience up on their feet.
It’s Chicago. Midwestern manners and sensibilities. They were there to see the show, not be the show.
Story about Chuck Negron's addiction is great read. Three Dog Nightmare. After 37 rehabs, he went to a cold turkey rehab place and within hours prayed for God to cure him or kill him. Went to sleep for nearly two days and realized he was cured when he awoke.
Amen😊
30, not 37.
Besides being so good looking, Chucks voice is just about perfect. It’s a shame he let those factors along with the drugs really ruin him . I loved Three Dog Night ! All three so talented in their own right. They are old men now ( RIP Corey) . I think it would be wonderful to hear Dan and Chuck do another song together before it’s to late.
I heard Danny promised Cory before he died. That he would not sing with Chuck. I found Chuck so good looking when I was a teenager.
@@bobbiecole5195if so that would be mean. And deprive the people the pleasure of the combined talents.
As a kid I think this was my favorite band. I discovered them around 1972 or so and I was hooked. Great memories.
Cory and Chuck hitting that high note together in Shambala at 9:52 gets me every time! 😍
So glad I saw them in the early ‘80s.
That was beyond fun! That was a magnificent trip down memory lane.
Just take a look and a listen to the talent up on that stage. No pyro, no fancy lights, no computer tracks, etc. Put guitars in the right hands and this is what you get......a great concert. .
But holy shit ... none of us could dance back then.
Cory Wells was the best....Ever!!!❤️
He was up there with the best. All these guys could sing like few could.
such great music to have grown up with. could listen to them endlessly!! RIP Corey...........so glad that Chuck has survived it all. Wish he and Danny can mend and continue to bring the music to us Til the World Ends!
whats the deal with Chicago?
evelyn mayberry Chicago Music
That'll never happen. Once the band started performing, it appeared Danny was jealous of Chuck's success and popularity.
I would like to start a petition to get Three Dog Night into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame! Or if there already is one I'll sign it. I'd like to think that part of the recognition is having the original band members alive when they're inducted. I think I've heard getting in can't be sooner than 25yrs after a band starts. They should have been inducted during the 1990s! I can't figure this oversight out. Or whatever the reason might be.
+Gina Wyatt They are one of 36 acts I highlight in this video who could/should be in the RnR HOF...

The main reason is they only wrote a handful of songs and none of those were hits. As great as 3DN is, they're really nothing more than a glorified cover band.
They were far more than a cover band. They personally chose (often obscure) songs and re-arranged them, making them their own and turning them into major hits. The majority of the time their version was better than the original writer's arrangement and vocals. They also brought a lot of relatively unknown songwriters to the attention of the general public. There's quite a few songwriters out there who owe a lot to Three Dog Night.
I know all of that and none of it matters. The definition of a cover band is a band that doesn't play or record original material. Period. Only 9% of their recorded material was original (if you don't count the EP at the end of their career, otherwise the percentage is lower); 91% were covers. Therefore, they are a cover band.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_band#Examples_of_cover_acts
However, that doesn't take anything away from how good they were or how successful they were. I love TDN. I saw them 30some years ago when Chuck was still in the band and have read both his and Jimmy Greenspoon's autobiographies. At one time I owned all of their albums and I still listen to them occasionally.
But they were still a cover band and that's why they'll probably never make it into the R&R HoF.
Chuck Negrone always killed it single-handedly!!!
PERFECTION AT ITS BEST CARRIES ON KNOWLEDGE ❣️ 2 APPRECIATE WHAT IS ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Never watched their live performance before, WOW. These guys can sing their asses off.
I saw TDN with Cory and Danny at the Republican National Convention in Houston in '92. They brought me to tears with their great performance and afterwards I got on stage and Danny signed a program I had. I still have it.
At the RNC? That's disappointing.
Glad to see they were Republicans way back then. Very smart musicians. God bless America
@@Redwhiteblue-gr5emIt was a gig!
Where was Chuck? Is he a democrat? lol
Smart & talented!!!!
Que gran banda de rock clasico ahora en el 2024 los avia escuchado por la radio ase muchos años pero nunca avia visto sus videos asta ahora aclaro no se hablar ingles solo me dejo llevar por el ritmo y la gran bos rockera que sale de la boca de estos grandes artistas de habla inglesa
I once heard them play in Wallingford, CT when the stage turned around and I was in the upper field listening wild and free!
Discovered this band when I was 10 in ‘72. They were my first favorite band and set the tone for me as far as music is concerned. Great great band.
I was fortunate to see them in concert twice in Hawaii. The show was incredible, but more than that was their humor and playing to the audience. Seemed more like a private party with friends. They were without a doubt the best of the 70’s music scene.
All 3 sing their heart out! Love them!
So good. So very, very good. And hope Cory Wells went to Heaven, my favorite of the 3.🦮🐕🐕🦺
Like the song says, if there's a rock and roll heaven.They got a hell of a band
Mine too😊
This was my first album, was 9 years/o ,in 1973 ,still in my favorites!!!!! I’m now 60 and still love the harmonies!!!!!!
I’m 60 also…my mom loved this band ,played there records all the time.Good Times!
Salivate, salivate, drool to the music! Love this band!!!
Ha! Good one.
I hear ya! 3 beautiful men!!
Incredible vocals and harmonies...really enjoying this upload! Don't understand why they aren't in the Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame...too late now.
They didn't write their own songs. That's what I've heard anyway. No induction for "non original" songs. 😢
Absolutely mind blowing band. Never have the peace and harmony of that era again. Thanks for the upload.
Chuck Negron provided great vocal fills, it's very evident on Eli's Coming and Celebrate, and he was in the zone this performance. Dude was on fire. I wish I could've been there. Long live 3DN. Thanks for posting!
Always love the Hammond B3 in most of the songs. late 60's and 70's were the best
+KEITH C Couldn't agree with you more about the Hammond B3 sound.....
+KEITH C Yeah, after that period, it all started to go down hill. Including 3DN. Same thing happened with Chicago.
Thank you for posting an AWESOME concert from an AWESOME band in a better time. Love it!
One of the best captures of this amazing band. So grateful I had the opportunity to witness them live in the early 80s. They were an unstoppable force and grace.
My first concert was these guys in the old Assembly Ctr. In Tulsa! It’s still the best concert I have ever been to!Every seat was taken with the floor seats also! I’ll never forget them
I was there also. Yes, indeed, it was sold out. I still remember the air was full of excitement and magic. Your comments are well said. The concert was timeless, sublime and a perfect example of Classic Rock. A wonderful, happy memory I’ll never forget either. Pure unadulterated talent of Three Dog Night. Thank you for posting this MyyyTunes. ❤❤❤❤ 🎸🎶
Probably the BEST LIVE Version of ONE you'll ever hear!!
That's true esp Show a Little Tenderness❤
Favorite ❤
I saw an interview with Chuck where he told of their drug use back then. He said it was given to them by their producer so they would have lots of energy to put on a great show. Chuck said it just about took his, and his wife's lives. He said they go so kooked on it they were high every waking minute of the day. Him getting kicked out of the band, and them going broke turned them around. I agree this was one hell of a band when they were together. I loved them so much when i was a kid that i got every song they put out.
Cory didn't do drugs. He liked to fish! A true upstate New Yorker.
Ive alwsys loved their music in1975 and now
Love that you can see who sings what parts of the songs. And who’s lead singer on certain songs. The three really harmonized well together. Travesty that they are not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
Wow, I forgot how much I liked these guys, and what great live performers they are here! I wish I had seen them in concert.
I am 71 and still love them .
Chuck Negron lead singer ONE -EASY TO BE HARD- JOY TO THE WORLD, just to name a few. One of the best vocals ever! Three Dog Night harmony better than ever!
Cory is giving Cory but also, Otis, Tom Jones, Roger Daltrey, And Joe Cocker from 23:54 to the end of the song.. BRILLIANT!!!
Back in the day, like 1972, I talked with several musicians that worked with 3 Dog Night and they all said that Cory was the main force behind them. They were all lead singers, however, Cory was the main man....Plus, he was a terrific guy...and didn't have a big head.. So much talent, and he continued to improve, year after year...Any how, just saying, from a still kicking drummer...........
R.I.P. to the great, Emil Lewandowski. You will forever be missed. ♥️
There is nothing Chuck Negron can't sing! This is the song that started it all for Three Dog Night! Pure magic!
Chuck Negron was INCREDIBLE!!!
ABSOLUTELY incredible!! Those HIGH notes..Love to hear them all sing..❤
Yes he was marvelous but I think Cory was #1
@@davidwelsh5206
Loved Cory too.
To bad as Neil sang I’ve seen the needle and the damage done
3 of the greatest vocalists in rock music!
ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME !!!!!!! THREE DOG NIGHT. !!!!!!!
No matter whatever in destiny brings, forever the three will be bonded! CORY
Just in case you were wondering… Cory Wells was my favorite. I was a member of the three dog night fan club and also Cory Wells fan club.
My God, Cory Wells is absolutely beautiful here! Was always my favorite.
Right there with you! ❤
Mine too❤
All 3 had terrific voices!
50年も前になります。武道館のコンサートに行きました。ボーカルの三人、かっこよかったです！！！
Three of the greatest singers EVER!
I just listened to Chuck doing an interview last nite which I gotta say, shocked the hell out of me. All these years I thought maybe it was Corey that Didn't want TDN back together, when it was DANNY that emphatically said NO! And if that weren't enough it was because Danny felt he wld come in 3rd in the group again. It seems Danny felt by doing his Solos he was getting ALL the attention he needed, not to mention that he (Damny), and COREY, did Not get along and.. were Always fighting! (just an fyi that I never knew about Danny). Lastly, it's Always been talked about that Chuck was the Only One on Drugs, all while DANNY was too, but many only thought it was Chuck! So a Big Kudos to Chuck for coming out with his addiction, while Danny took No Blame at all! Again a big Kudos to Chuck, and to Corey.. may You Rest in Peace dear friend~ ❤
you see how good they look here in 75 and sound I saw them in 69 think about that they were fantastic my first concert right up by the stage just like this!!! Cory Chuck and Danny are all just as great as the other each has his style
Each lead singer had a #1 hit. Hutton/ Black&White Negron/ Joy to World Wells/ Mama told me not to come!! ....Talent!!!
Three fab lead singers. Cory was my favorite, R.I.P.
I have wonderful memories of each of there songs..
The best! R.I.P. Cory.👏👏👏👏
Eli's Coming - you go CORY! Oh get it on Chuck. I see that snicker for me! i saw them for the first time in Philadelphia and did things that I thought would never do. Just let me tell you I did not make it home after the concert!😁
