Kim Simmonds: Most underrated guitarist ever. Can play circles around Clapton, Beck, Gary Moore, Peter Green, the whole lot.He's still DOING IT...always has a kick-ass band with him. This version of "I'm Tired" is SO COOL. The bass player has got that heavy HEAVY bottom. Grea drummer. Kudos to this band. Keep it GOING KIM!
Fucking awesome! Sax player nailing original singer's vocal style is waaaay cool...Kim's fingers are wonderfully fleet...I've been loving me some Savoy Brown since 1970...
This intro was from the beginning of Looking In & also was the outro to that record, it was titled Rommanoff , I'm tired was off A Step Further, Two fine old Savoy Brown LPs. Kim's still one of the greatest rock guitarists around after all these years !!!
Ok..i'll comment. Having been a Savoy fan for nearly 30 Years . I have to say this is one excellent performance by Kim and Company. And a Very good sounding & looking video Freddy .
Having seen Kim Simmonds and band perform live multiple times in the early 70s and in the early 2000s, I can say that Kim is an excellent rock and blues guitarist.
kybourbonboy: As someone who saw them many times between late '67 and the end of '69 I can say that Simmons is merely average as a guitar player. Back then London was up to it's bottom lip in better guitar players than him! The thing that made the Youlden band worth seeing, apart from his voice, was the collective noise they made. Youlden left because of the way the band was run. Pretty soon the rest of the band left Simmons, because he was calling the shots, and they all thought he was no great shakes as a guitarist, and a complete jerk as a boss! They thought they could do better without him, and they were right. Certainly as far as success goes Foghat were far bigger! You have to understand Simmons and his Dad ran the band, the rest of them were on a wage! If you didn't like it, you were out! Thats what happened. Pretty soon everyone...................was out, except Simmons, who kept THE NAME and milked it for the rest of his life! Good luck to him. His alternative was what? Driving a van?
I won't debate that the revolving personnel were due to Kim's way of running things. But when I saw him several times since 2003 I thought he was a pretty guitarist. IMO he made serious mistakes from a business point of view by failing to keep good band members. Especially vocalists, since he is a very weak singer at best.
Seems to be lots of negativity in the thread. If you don't like Kim, find something you do like. I've been a fan since 67 and I think he is underrated.
I've been a fan almost as long. I bought "Blue Matter" in '68, and then quickly bought the older stuff. Someday, Simmonds will be recognized as a great genius. He successfully fuses progressive blues-rock with jazz. His greatest fault? Not having a solid vocalist as a front man. Losing Chris Youlden was a great mistake and a greater shame. However, if there's a list somewhere of the ten better guitarists, I have yet to see it. Kim's in a class by himself.
@@alkholos , I think his voice fits his music just fine and he is definitely not respected. Another guitarist from the same era, Mick Abrahams, is another. He was the guitarist on 1st Jethro Tull album then formed Blodwyn Pig.
The original guitar solo was maybe 20 seconds and said a lot. I've just suffered through ten minutes of drivel here and never heard anything close to what he did in the 70's.
+joe pish i disagree, i mean he didn't play the whole set acoustic i'm sure, but this gave the song a unique edge. that's why i've seen him like 10 or 15 times cuz every time it's different
+1blastman Those were killer albums, all this garbage on the rock and roll hall of fame, but the truly greats rarely recognized. Bill clinton fucked everyone with the communications act of 1987 where clear channel communications could take over all the air waves. American music sucks now. These brits were trully talented, took the american blues to a whole new level
Yep. So-called "liberal" Clinton. And Tipper Gore. REMEMBER her? Wanted Congress to pass a bill to censor lyrics on Rock albums. Another "liberal". Oh yeah, her hubby Al "invented the Internet". Said so on Letterman. Hate to bring up such horrible memories on a Kim Simmonds/ Savoy Brown site. Lucky I got to see Savoy Brown in 1975/76, when Paul Raymond was on keyboards and Dave Bidwell was on drums. One of the BEST concerts ever. They always stole the show from the headliners back then.
Great Duo !! Whole band is truly stupendous.
One of my favorite Savoy Brown songs since I was 15 now I'm 66, still love it.....

Blueman. One in ten-thousand junkies who could - translate
roadrocket7: You sure are some deaf nutcase! This version is the pits. Hear the original and see if you can work out why!
THIS WAS ONE OF THERE GREATEST SONGS AND THERE ARE ONLY 7000 HIT PLEASE - THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!
beautiful. this band changed my like in what ever year it was like 69? 71? A heroic and brave guitar solo. we should all be so all.

Wow what a fabulous session. :-) Thanks.

pretty steady freddie.great live video. Captures the moment.
I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT, KIM WAS AWESOME, THE WHOLE BAND GREAT.
James you never miss a show.
Kim Simmonds this is one of the greatest the step further album. The B side is one of the best that was the first time I ever heard of them
Great Album xoxo
Wow! Excellent
The best song of Savoy!!!!!!!!!
And "lifes one Act Play" 🎵🎶🎼💔
I love it all! The sax is awesome. RIP David Sanbourn ( not who is playing)
i heard this song fr the game driver parallel lines......jus fell in love wit it...hunted fr this song.FINALLY GUESS WAT FOUND IT
When Kim is in a zone he comes up the tastiest stuff.

Yes I was in 8th grade love them xoxo
kick ass stuff right there.
thanks for video love it.
Kim was incredible. And some joker say he is average at best.
yes nice job Unsteady!
Most Excellent
I love watching kim kill the acoustic
The weird man is kind of a god. to me. One of the most sustained DaDa , wake up 48 -96 hours not "thinking about it" but living it.
Damn - I got no sound? And this is my all time hippie anthem!
awsome !!!!!!!!!!!
So true!
Found out about this song after hearing David Lee Roth's version (he called it You Got The Blues Not Me)
Best version since Youlden left the band.
KIM WAS THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER!!!
still is
Yessir
Ain't nothing like the real thing
It's all those minor chords. If you notice on most hit records there are a lot of minor keys used.
Not something else but what it is.
Can someone tell me the chords
Chris Youlden was the best.
YES ,HE WAS SAVOY BROWN#1 SINGER
The original guitar solo was maybe 20 seconds and said a lot. I've just suffered through ten minutes of drivel here and never heard anything close to what he did in the 70's.
Excellent but forget that saxophone.
chris b: The sax is there because the guitar is mundane!
Or maybe he's just had great rythy m sections for 45 years.
SORRY THIS IS NOT CHRIS YOULDEN....I NEED MY CHRIS YOULDEN..
He should use a different guitar for this song
they sound good. but plz, ditch the acoustic guitar. save it for the Dylan set
+joe pish i disagree, i mean he didn't play the whole set acoustic i'm sure, but this gave the song a unique edge. that's why i've seen him like 10 or 15 times cuz every time it's different
was a roadie
??? sorry no Chris Yolden - NO good
Version with Chris Youlden MUCH BETTER!! Also, get rid of the acoustic guitar!
Tim Reding Ageed, Chris Youlden was the best white blues singer of all time!

what a totally stupid comment.
@@1blastman Chris Youlden was the best but Dave Walker was real good too.
God this is awful
Alright then you make better song/play it live 30something years later with a different lineup of artists.
