This song has a extremely strong connection with me coming out of the Army in 1970 when I was 22 years old. I literally felt like a old man next to my college classmates. One of the many bands that transports me back fifty years to what seens like another universe.
I am 70 yrs old and saw this in concert. Possible this very show in person . It gets me so excited and full of happiness joy even now. I could just jump up and down while love live love these great singers and band. They were and are my favorite ❤❤❤🎉😊
This great song, Easy to be Hard, and Try a Little Tenderness are my favorites plus others are very very good. Yes, 3 great singers. Very successful band from 68 to probably 75 One of my favorite groups ever!!!!
Written by Laura Nyro, released on the 1969 album, " Suitable For Framing", this live version by Three Dog Night is a glowing masterpiece. The vocals alone are mind blowing and the instruments absolutely take on a new life in this exquisite rendition and are so explosive in a giant Rock love in. Fantastic time. 🎶🎶 Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Henry. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
An Incredible group, and still not given the accolades they surely deserved. Maybe their antics put people off recognizing how superb they were. I certainly respect them more than many rock and roll hall of famers!!!
Cory Wells also sang the track you liked, Try a little tenderness! This entire concert on Soundstage 1975 was fire! All 3 can sing! They start the concert with FAMILY OF AND MAN. The harmony, OMGOSH! Shows why they are in the Vocal Hall of Fame.Thank you, Harry, for this reaction! It was bomb!❤
Rip Corey . Such a soulful and kind looking individual. I followed them from day 1. The impression is hard to describe that they made on us teens way back then. Great reaction. Ty. Melissa Ward here.
Almost 50 years after this show was done and I still get chills. I can name on 2 hands Three Dog Nights greatest songs, with more to spare. The idea was rather unique, having three virtuoso singers, pushing each other to get the best sound. If you were alive in the late 1960s you knew Three Dog Night.
😮 Tr m mcgraw Tim McGraw has to say I like it. I love it. I want some more of it. I may too. I'll say that a lot. I like it. I love it and I'll talk to beller of it
Actually, preferred the live version (Around the World with Three Dog Night) of this song over the studio version. Mainly because the original was only around 2 minutes running time. Great reaction as always.
I like the original and 3DN versions, but my favorite is the instrumental jazz version by trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson from the M.F. Horn album. IT’s energy always reminded me of this live with the dynamic contrasts of the original. Still, one cannot be disappointed by the remarkable vocals like we hear here. Another wonderful selection and reaction! 👍🏻
I too prefer Laura Nyro. She was well known as a songwriter in her day, and many artists covered her - Blood, Sweat & Tears, the Fifth Dimension, Barbra Streisand, Peter, Paul & Mary - and Three Dog Night.
If you have not covered it yet I would highly recommend Laura Nyro’s version of the song, which she wrote. By layering her own voice, she manages to capture the whole harmony of the grou. It’s fantastic.
Just started watching 3DN reactions - yours is the 2nd. :-) Thanks for sharing it. I listened to 3DN when they were new (had several of their albums) but I never realized how influenced they were by Gospel Music until now. It's a revelation to those of us who were young suburbanite kids who hadn't heard Gospel yet. :-)
What a wonderful selection Henry. This performance is outstanding. Gotta love those bell bottoms. Such a great band. Nice reaction. Thanks Harri and Henry 🌺✌️
Eli’s Coming was written by Laura Nyro. She wrote the music and the lyrics. She never got the fame and recognition she deserved. She had extreme stage fright. You should listen to her version.
She’s one of my favorite singer/songwriters! Her first few albums contained so many hits- for other artists, anyway. She was really creative , ahead of her time. Yes, she had terrible stage fright. My sister saw her perform in the mid 70s. She only played for a half hour. Yes, I recommend that people listen to her version, as well as other hit songs she wrote. Thanks very much for mentioning her- and for being a fan.
They are legendary!!! I so enjoyed your reaction! You have then most pleasant voice...I could listen to you all da long! They were all vocalists. They took turns with lead. That's why they were called Three Dog Night :)
I'm 53 and somehow had never heard of these guys until last night. I saw a documentary about them then went and checked out the Eli's Comin' performance right after and it floored me.
I remember, as a child in the late 1960s, listening to the studio version of this song on the AM radio in my mom's car. This live version is simply incredible. Thanks for sharing & reacting!
So many performances at Woodstock were fabulous. Try Country Joe and the Fish, and Santana, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. So many more. I was 16 when this happened. It is deep in me.
3 Dog Night is so good, such a part of my teen years and early adult hood. 3 lead singers who blend so well together yet all unique in their talent so rare in today's music. Got to see them live twice, what a GREAT show. Thank you for reacting to this great song. Imagine being in that audience, everyone got taken to church!! Digging those bell bottoms, I remember back in the day when I PROUDLY wore them. lol
Laura Nyro, I am a huge fan of hers songs, wherever they show up. I went to a Tiny High School..75 of us in my graduating class..in 1972! Someone heard me singing this song..and the next thing I knew, I was intrinsically intertwined with this song. Didn't know I was so popular or infamous that anyone cared what song I liked. Small towns are home....but they are weird. Try Feelin' Alright or In The Country or...Celebrate. For your personal enjoyment "Live at the Forum" sometimes when you have an hour to kill.
Just imagine how we felt hearing it for the first time in 1969! The band essentially had 3 lead singers. I think the original studio recording is superior to this version, and I'm sure there are other, better live versions out there, too.
Saw Church in the late 90's when he was going by Chuck Negron formerly of TDN . He still had that wonderful voice. Got to sell merch after the show and meet him. He signed everything he could for me.
Three Dog Night is still my favorite group of all time. Whenever I want to be 16 again I just put on my TDN music and I am gone. Thanks for playing this Harri.
If you ever get the chance to hear TDN Live at The Forum in LA 1969 in the vinyl record get it, it is a stunning album. Even if you go to the vintage record store and listen through the headphones it will be worth the effort.
Seen them twice on this tour. 6 months apart in Vancouver. 2nd show only 3000 people showed up cause so close together. Pacific Coliseum looked empty with lights on. The show was unreal, Pink Floydish at times. The crowd although small sounded like 100,000 people you could feel the place shake (a concrete hockey arena) with the stomping wanting encore. And did we get it.
My Favorite 3 Dog Night Song.... By the great Laura Lyro a great singer in her own right ..... PS. Do you know what a 3 dog Night is ? It is a saying by aboriginal people.... It for a really cold night when you need to sleep with 3 dogs to stay warm
I so agree with you Harri. There is no better way to watch it live to me. Its gritty and real and fun! TY so much! Next from this same venue..." Liar" and Junkyard Blues!!!
You really should listen to the Laura Niro version from Eli and the Thirteenth Confession (1968). Many great songs off that album, including Luckie, Poverty Train and Stoned Soul Picnic.
Harri, please react to "Roses and Rainbows" written and sung by Danny Hutton one of the singers of Three Dog Night released in 1965 and was a big hit in Los Angeles I used to hear it a lot on AM radio, Kind of an early psychedelic song before it was a thing and a forgotten song.
The greatest cover band in the R&B/R&R era. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys twice during the early 70's and they never failed to entertain. Greatest of days man.
@@6916dog Facts don't care about your feelings. Anyone that records a song they didn't write made a cover of the song. That is the very definition of a cover. Any band who does nothing but songs by other bands is a cover band. Just because Three Dog Night had big hits with those songs doesn't belie the truth. I saw them twice during their heyday, loved them, and still do. It doesn't change the facts.
@@helgar791 A cover song is a new performance or recording of a previously recorded song by someone other than the original artist or composer. The new recording is typically similar to the original song in terms of structure, though the arrangement may differ. Three Dog Night is not a cover band
@@6916dog Can you not read or understand the definition of what a cover is? By definition this is exactly what Three Dog Night did. They recorded new performances of songs by other artists with different arrangements. What is your argument? That 3DN made old recordings of these songs? That 3DN did or didn't change the arrangement? Or perhaps your need to be right supersedes all logic. Even if you change some of the lyrics it's still a cover. In plainer English, if you didn't write the song and someone else recorded, wrote, or performed it first, THAT'S a cover.

They were ready and able to give their all, and make that audience happy. Imagine being in that audience experiencing this all live. What a night...
Saw them live. They were incredible. ❤
@@oldeskoolnana7543same here
Me too. Outstanding.
The 70,s were, and still are the best decade for good grooving music! Thx Harri!!
I sure remember the original version. I think I was in 8th grade, listening to it on the school bus on the way to school. Transistor radio, AM only! 😁
I loved my A.M. transistor radio...The original boom box! 😳😆
Oh WOW. This is IT. This will get you out of your chair for sure. Thanks Henry for referring it and thanks Harri. 👏👏🥰
@@renep2220 😂I never went anywhere without it! Hahahaha
@@bradtaggart5509Me either! I even had my radio glued to my ear at the family supper table.
Yes, for me this was 7th or 8th grade. My friends and I were quite intrigued by the thought of needing to hide our hearts from the mysterious Eli!
3 tasty vocalists in one band? That was the 70s baby.
No auto tune no computer edits this is the real deal
Whoever arranged this tune outdid themselves.
Very astute and professional commentary. Thank you for not interrupting the song every 30 seconds.
This song has a extremely strong connection with me coming out of the Army in 1970 when I was 22 years old. I literally felt like a old man next to my college classmates. One of the many bands that transports me back fifty years to what seens like another universe.
I still like the studio version better!
I too. I was months away from going into the military when I saw them, so obviously the same tour.
EEK The live version is off the chain Harri.
those three dog night singers blew all others away, all the top singers admired them .
Great band!! They had 3 strong lead singers.
Three Dog Night was my first ever concert, I was 14, and this was in '72. Great show, great band.......
My first also but in Spring of 1971 and I was 13.
Lucky you. Chicago was mine. Lucky me.
No. This was their 1975 Sound Stage performance of this song. Truly great.🌹
I was in the Midwest. Probably 13 or 14 also!
Not my first. That was Jethro Tull
I am 70 yrs old and saw this in concert. Possible this very show in person . It gets me so excited and full of happiness joy even now. I could just jump up and down while love live love these great singers and band. They were and are my favorite ❤❤❤🎉😊
I graduated high school in 1973. Three Dog Night were one of the hottest bands around. Their harmonies were incredible. I love their music.
This is one of those slow-build-up songs that singes your eyebrows off when the hammer finally drops.
Always been a fan of theirs, a big thanks Hari. This and (Old fashioned love song) are favorites
Shambala gets me in the feels every time for the last 50+ years.
This great song, Easy to be Hard, and Try a Little Tenderness are my favorites plus others are very very good. Yes, 3 great singers. Very successful band from 68 to probably 75
One of my favorite groups ever!!!!
Easy to be Hard! A forgotten or never played classic. Also Out in the Country...
Try a little tenderness.
This is a SUPERB PERFORMANCE 🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶
I love the 60’s and 70’s music!! Great memories as a kiddo
And 80's
This has absolutely blew my mind ! And I thought I'd heard every Three Dog Night song that they was , but not this one. Killing it !
I was blessed to have seen them live in concert...
Just spectacular. What an epic group!
These guys could sing.
Written by Laura Nyro, released on the 1969 album, " Suitable For Framing", this live version by Three Dog Night is a glowing masterpiece.

I prefer the studio version to this one myself
Yeah 👍 3 Dog Night. Should have been at Woodstock Like Chicago.🎵🌄
The whole Soundstage concert is brilliant.
Thumbs up!
An Incredible group, and still not given the accolades they surely deserved. Maybe their antics put people off recognizing how superb they were.
I certainly respect them more than many rock and roll hall of famers!!!
Super great memories right there. Thank you Harri. I was 16 yo. 😮
I absolutely love this live version of Eli's Coming! Great reaction!
a bsolutely fantastic.
Three Dog Night was amazing. Very popular back in the 70s.

Is this the concert where they did the carnival costumes for Must Let The Show Go On? To be honest, that kinda freaked me out. Lol
Thanks for the Cory Wells shout out, Diana! He also was soul-filled in "Mama Told Me not to Come." May he be singing with the angels! ❤️
It must have been a great experience to have seen them in this live performance. Very uplifting.
I am old now ... but fortunate to still remember all of the great musicians/bands as if it was yesterday.
Well chosen Henry. Welcome aboard the Bestie Family. Love 3DN and this video was icing on the cake.✌✌✌👍👍👍
They took turns being the lead singer on different songs.
Rip Corey . Such a soulful and kind looking individual. I followed them from day 1. The impression is hard to describe that they made on us teens way back then. Great reaction. Ty. Melissa Ward here.

TDN does a great ballad named "Pieces Of April."
DAMN! That poor drummer is totally immersed in that fog machine at the beginning! How the hell could he breath???
This is always ILLWIYS ban on my playlist. I enjoy free currently and everyday. Everyday. I love it. I do it. I do it everyday

❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite Three Dog Night song. Love this live version too. Thanks
Thanks Harri. I was 17.
Cory Wells first.then Danny Hutton.last was Chuck nergron
Saw them live in 1972 at Long Pond Pa. Poconos Rock Fest. Great reaction Harri. 200 thousand people attended this 2 day rock fest.
Cory Wells' voice was so strong and pure -- gives me goosebumps to listen to him. RIP -- gone but not forgotten.
Actually, preferred the live version (Around the World with Three Dog Night) of this song over the studio version. Mainly because the original was only around 2 minutes running time. Great reaction as always.
Written by Laura Nyro and love her version best.
I love her writing but I’ve always preferred the versions by others to hers. I find hers a bit too frenetic. But she was a brilliant & unique voice.
I like the original and 3DN versions, but my favorite is the instrumental jazz version by trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson from the M.F. Horn album. IT’s energy always reminded me of this live with the dynamic contrasts of the original. Still, one cannot be disappointed by the remarkable vocals like we hear here.

Nyro did great with it as well, & she wrote Eli's Coming.💎
Love Three Dog Night
The best part of the video are the pants they are wearing! LOL
Used to wear those!😅
If you have not covered it yet I would highly recommend Laura Nyro’s version of the song, which she wrote. By layering her own voice, she manages to capture the whole harmony of the grou. It’s fantastic.
My fav from 3DN!! Saw them when I was 17! Im 68 now!
The greatest cover band ever! None of them wrote, but they arranged hell out of other writers work. This particular piece was by Laura Nyro.
Anyone who is Three Dog Night curious should really listen to their live album: Around the World with Three Dog Night!!! Amazing.
Goodness, seeing them ( only on tv) in the 60's, those vocals!
Just started watching 3DN reactions - yours is the 2nd. :-) Thanks for sharing it.

It just strikes me 3 Dog Night could have gospel and Motown brilliantly with those soulful, bluesy almost church choir like voices. WOW!
I'm 53 and somehow had never heard of these guys until last night. I saw a documentary about them then went and checked out the Eli's Comin' performance right after and it floored me.
Take me to church!

The beautiful man singing the intro was Corey Wells. He passed away in 2015 due to lymphoma or some similar blood cancer.
Multiple myeloma. He left us much too soon. And he kept that heavenly voice right up to the end.
The f’n band was sooo good! And the singers were ok, too! Lol!
They dominated the radio in my early teens!
Peace
Damn damn damn what a voice!!!!!
I had such a crush on Chuck Negron
& turns by the Alman Brothers...You'll be amazed...

They were my first concert at 16 in Detroit!
"Liar" from the "Live In Tennessee" concert dvd is also fantastic. The symphony orchestra really adds somethin to thier songs.
Seen them twice on this tour. 6 months apart in Vancouver. 2nd show only 3000 people showed up cause so close together. Pacific Coliseum looked empty with lights on. The show was unreal, Pink Floydish at times. The crowd although small sounded like 100,000 people you could feel the place shake (a concrete hockey arena) with the stomping wanting encore.
