Try Me - James Brown (live at the Apollo version)
If you haven't--"Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Good song.
I’m a Man by the Spencer Davis Group. Original version.
Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should’ve Come Over
“I Can Help” by Billy Swan.
Mickey Thomas had some serious pipes and great vocal control. He was definitely Rated, highly rated.
He still kills it.
He sang lead on Jane by Jefferson Starship. Wonderful singer.
I fooled around and fell in love with this song, Lol
@@sealdrupand Find Your Way Back and others
@@sealdrup I think they just reacted to Jane very recently- i assume that’s why this one was picked - since lots of people commented about Thomas singing this one too
For me personally, this is one of those songs that simply cannot be improves upon. Awesome from start to finish.
Absolutely Mickey Thomas just kills in this song. And in quite a few Starship songs as well. This song has to go in the top 100 list of anybody's greatest songs
This song defines and era.
Midnight Special version.
Midnight Special version.
Midnight Special version.
Midnight Special version.
Cannot say this enough times. Its amazing.
That show had some GREAT Artists and performances
This song was big for Mickey Thomas, who parleyed this into a lead role in the revamped Jefferson Starship. I believe you heard Mickey rockin' out "Jane" a couple weeks ago.
And all of a sudden it's 1976 I'm 13 and the AM radio is blasting.....GREAT CHOICE!
Don't overlook some sweet guitar work by Elvin ❤️
Somebody said, "He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play!"
Tone!! Variation! Talking guitar! Beautiful work by Elvin Bishop
I had a chance to work with Mickey Thomas for a few days, recording songs for a TV show he was working on in the late 1990s. I was slightly nervous just before he arrived at my studio, as I have always loved his voice and wondered what kind of attitude/ego would come with it. Turned out he was very down to earth, happy to chat about anything (no matter how mundane), interested in what others had to say (no matter who they were).
The one funny quirk I noticed about him in the few days he was at my house was that he seemed to relate anything having to do with his own timeline to this very song. "Oh, that happened about 2 years before 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love'" or "I remember about a year after 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love' came out, I bought a Corvette" or something like that - the subject almost never related to the song itself, it was simply a time marker!
"Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bail of hay. He aint' good looking but he sure can play!" ~ Charlie Daniels Band, "The South's Gonna Do It Again". 👈Next tune?
I got to see Bishop in 1989. He played for about 3 hours in a tiny venue near Lake Tahoe. We had a blast! Also, he played with the Allman Brothers for a while. In fact, I believe he was with them at Filmore East. I was only 10 when that album came out so I could be wrong on that one.
One of my favorite songs of all time, between Mickey's vocals in elvins guitar. Was a great time to be fifteen or sixteen years old and this song still pops in my head every once in awhile and I end up singing it all day
Their tears left me cold as a stone maybe the the best line in a song ever.
Pure 70's S tier magic right here.
This is like, my favorite son in the whole lifetime 💙 of the world 🌎 forever ❤and ever....
❤
Mickey, One of my favorite vocalists ❤
A+ thru & thru. Elvin can play anything . Blues Rock Funk Jazz. Listen to Juke Joint Jump. Southern funk at it's finest.
The Elvin Bishop/ Mickey Thomas factor makes this song S tier for me. I’m particularly fond of Elvin Bishop….. Travelin’ Shoes and Juke Joint Jump are worthy of a listen, even if you just listen on your own time.
Unapologetically fun! Pop/rock! Real musicians, real instruments, no fakery. Can't beat that!
Check out some of Elvin's work with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. He and Mike Bloomfield provided a double guitar attack that was unsurpassed when the album East-West was released in 1966. It's timeless stuff that still sounds great today.
Don't think the know anything about Bloomfield. Way past time they found out.
F@@jimd7260 For real.
YES. PB3 is such a great band. And the title track to that album is one of my all-time favorite tunes.
Don't forget the debut LP. It's more blues based than East West but top notch. The Doors steal Shake Your Money Maker for Break on Through guitar parts
A timeless classic. Love the vocals of Mickey Thomas. ❤🔥
Little bit of trivia… Elvin Bishop went to high school in Tulsa with David Gates (from Bread) and Leon Russel! Some serious musical talent floating around those halls back in the day.
Central or Will Rogers?
@@randogirl-3Rogers
I miss Leon Russell so much
One of the greatest songs of all time
The live version of this song is incredible! It was filmed on The Midnight Special.
Has anyone mentioned how good Mickey Thomas is on lead vocals? Someone already has... Oh OK. He'll go on to be the lead vocalist for Starship, helping Grace Slick find her comeback voice.
The lead singer here, Mickey Thomas, is also the voice of Jefferson Starship.
I love how the piano punches through...the mix on this is so good. I had the mumps and missed this show at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1977 or so. Elvin Bishop, Bob Segar and Todd Rundgren....always mad about that.
Perfect guitar tone for this song solo. Genius.
The live Midnight Special version is epic.
I agree
Exactly my thought but glad they covered the song ….
yes, mickey’s eyes were noticeably wandering during the performance. the female background singer was a bit distracting... 😏
Absolutely epic
Should of done the video.
Personal Top 100 song for me. Mickey Thomas is one of the great rock vocalists. 😎👍
"Whatcha' Gonna Do" and "Love Will Find A Way"; both by the group Pablo Cruise.
Loved both Andy & Alex’s faces during the first lyrics
Oh yes! Amazing Elvin Bishop. Fooled around and fell in love with song.
Thank goodness you did the long album version!! The radio play version is all cut up. This is one of my all time favorite songs.
@andyandalex The vocals are done by Mickey Thomas and the drummer is Donny Baldwin, who both later joined Jefferson Starship. Elvin Bishop wrote this song and played guitar. He was signed to Capricorn Records out of Macon, Ga (my hometown) along with other artists like The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band, Wet Willie, The Charlie Daniel’s Band, Stillwater, and many others.
This song is absolute perfection in every respect.
Traveling shoes, Elvin Bishop. He does the vocals himself on this. I believe he recorded a version of "mean ol' walking blues" with Paul Butterfield (Harmonica)
Tremendous, powerful voice and a great song
This song will always take me back to Friday nights in 8th grade, couples skate at Skateland with my first boyfriend. Memories are wonderful things!
What Skateland? Could it possibly be, Northridge Valley Skateland?
Perfect!
The DJ: this is a couples skate ONLY!
And......snowball.
Skateland in Tulsa, Elvins home town?
Skating and listening to great music back in the day was so awesome!!
Yeah, memories like yours are wonderful unless like me, you got your hair cut really short (thanks to Janet from Three's Company) and when the slow skate song "Key Largo" starts playing, a girl comes up and asks you to slow skate. I can't even hear that song without the memory of me yelling at that little girl, "I'm not a boy!" and her yelling back, "I'm sorry!" as she ran off. Good times lol!
Great song.Solid A
This is one of the first songs I can remember hearing as a wee one and I still love it all these years later.
The lead vocalist is the same guy - Mickey Thomas- who sang Jane from Starship
Best guitar solo in a 4 minute song by Elvin.
Elvin Bishop plays guitar almost like a vocalist uses their voice.
A true banger from back when. My comment, though, is to to you gents. Have perused several other reaction sites any you are by far the best. Love the fact that you still don’t interrupt a song in progress. Also you give super feedback on the instrumental/musical aspects of each song. Very refreshing to get a musician’s reaction. Thanks and keep on rockin!
Your faces while listening to this are priceless lol. Their performance of this live on The Midnight Special is definitely worth checking out!
This song brings back memories from my bar days. A club I used to go to had live music. One band played this song then would have audience members come up to sing the chorus. Most people were fair and a few pretty bad. But there were a few that were great and I can still remember them 48 years later.
You must checkout the live version of this song its amazing !
Instantly put into the 'Wayback Machine" when I hear this. Dated a guy back then who insisted that "Traveling Shoes" by Elvin Bishop was the best song ever.
I hope you put 2 and 2 together and realized that was Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Sharship’s “Jane”. I think you guys just recently covered it. Huge thanks again
a true anthem song of the mid 70s. glad you guys had a chance to experience it. 😁
This song never gets old. I was a teen when it played. The vocals, Mickey Thomas hit hard. Of course at the time I fooled around and fell in love. The love is still there’s today. Young love and he’s the father of my daughter. Still friends 50 years later. 😳 yikes where did the time go. Make your dreams happen while you’re young guys. It really does go by fast.
I woke last night to the 🎶sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered?
Started hummin' a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves?
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closin' in 🎶
Thanks Bob
It’s wonderful that with expanded health spans and a more accepting society, one can pursue their dreams at nearly any age. It’s just that the dreams change.
You faded out with Bob Seger. Nice artistic touch. 3
That's Elvin Bishop bringing the Legit Blues lines on the guitar. He has a ton of history - original member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and inducted into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, and so much more.
I love the bassline. This song pops into my head randomly from time to time and its always entertaining!
Mr.Elvin Bishop..a superb guitarist .and Mickey Thomas whom was a vocalist in the group Jefferson Airplane / Starship ..ofcourse does the vocals in this epic tune is such a match made in musical pairing paradise ..😂love this old tune many memories..
This song came out just as I was completing basic training. When I hear this song, I always think of my DI and the 'sweet nothings' he would whisper in my ear!
Elvin Bishop and Mickey Thomas were both awesome on this song.I was lucky enough to see them play this in the '70's in Tulsa,Oklahoma,where Elvin lived for a while.Elvin is a great guitarist,forgotten by a lot of folks,and Mickey going on to sing with Starship was also great.
Midnight Special FTW
Junior year of high school, had this on cassette - has some funky stuff on it. A lot of Elvin's songs are fun in a very non serious way
OMG! This reminds me of slow dancing in Jr. high. Such good memories.
"Go All The Way" by the Raspberries.
xxxcellent tune🤙
GOTG soundtrack
🔥
Love that song!!
Caught the Jefferson Starship “Jane” reaction video recently. Awesome job guys, MickeyThomas sure can “croon a tune”. A+ 😎
Thank you for reviewing this song. The "single" version leaves out an entire verse and a good portion of Elvin"s guitar solo. So happy that you went with the full version. This came out when I was finishing up my senior year of high school. An A for me.
Saw Elvin and Mickey Thomas live in early 80's with Tower of Power horn section.......one of my top 5 concerts. Check out the double live album "Raisin Hell" which captured this tour....S tier
Elvin Bishop wrote Fooled Around and Fell in Love, but didn't like his voice for it so he had back up singer Mickey Thomas sing it. I 100% agree with the comments about watching the Midnight Special version. One of my all time favorite songs. Just happens to be the exact story of my musician husband and myself, 45 years ago. 💕 Doesn't bother me st all, he choose me.😉
yeah playing with the melody vs the rhythm timing is something another Willie does also. Willie Nelson is the best at it imo. Kudos to Elvin for a great solo, Mickey for great vocals.
You should explore Elvin Bishop's past a bit. The first band I ever heard him in was The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Their East-West album is magnificent and groundbreaking. It featured so much talent on it.
Yes and both of them jammed with Jimi Hendrix at the Cafe Au Go Go in 1968 in New York. If you haven't check that out on RUclips.
Funny that you should mention the solo.. the 7 inch single not only cut the entire 2nd vocal verse, it also did edit the guitar solo. YET, it was still a banger 👌👍😊😊
Excellent voice and superb song! 🎵
I have always loved this song, especially the guitar solo.
LOVE!
This song was #56 on the Billboard Hot 100 USA chart for 1976, right behind another song you should check out: Cliff Richard's "Devil Woman."
Ive seen Elvin Bishop twice-once in a regular venue, and once in a TINY club and he had the volume at 12 and my ears were never the same. Aside from EB being a great player/performer, he is a LEGEND, which many overlook.
Cool...I saw him in a small club also.....I think it was daytime 😂...great show
Just wonderful stuff. I have no words to describe the swaying that comes with this song and melody. Brilliant, just brilliant
Saw this live in 1974 at the Lenox Music Inn, in Lenox MA. Elvin was the warmup and Marshall Tucker followed. Still just as good.
Elvin Bishop is, actually, a hard-core blues player.
He was, not only, briefly, PARTNERED with but in the same class as: Mike Bloomfield. (A '60s blues-rock legend.)
Bloomfield AND Bishop got their start in the (also legendary): Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
(Bloomfield went on to create/join: The, short-lived, Electric Flag; play with Bob Dylan (Bloomfield is the guitarist on: Highway 61 Revisited) and, then, a solo career [as; Mike Bloomfield AND as the Mike Bloomfield Band, as well]).
Sadly, Mike departed the earth in 1981.
Paul Butterfield was a highly respected blues harp player and blues vocalist.
Bishop worked with Paul Butterfield and, later, with Al Kooper, as well.
...but (somewhat obviously) "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" is his [Elvin's] biggest hit and most far-reaching, well-recognized song.
The "secret" to the track (which many, many casual, 'average' listeners -and, even, causal fans- had ZERO idea of, for decades) is that: a, basically, 'unknown' -at that time (outside of the industry itself, I mean)!-
background vocalist was asked by Elvin to do the lead vocals on this song.
That man is: Mickey Thomas.
Yep: the same cat who sings "Jane" for Jefferson Starship! 😛😛
(In fact he GOT THAT gig because Kantner-or someone🤷-heard "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" !!!!🤘🤘).
Comparably to, let's say...🤔: Michael McDonald 🤷[who was a, dedicated, studio, 'harmonies and backing vocals "guy" ' -...prior to Tom Johnston getting ill and McDonald being asked to take up some lead parts for the Doobie Brothers.] (for e.g.)....
--This is one of those, legendary, beloved, '70s "one-hit-wonders" (by a musician & writer who was, & is, unequivocally!!!; MORE than that!), which is, also, additionally, relevant and important, due to where the guy who was asked to sing lead went, afterwards.
--The rest of this album, however, is "a blues record," essentially. -Or (at the VERY least!) "blues-flavored-pop-rock" "stuff." ...
Fabulous voice.. especially live
One of the best songs ever
This song literally just came up on my play list as I was out driving around today. Great song!
Definitely an "S" tier, dive bar jukebox playlist must for me
Probably one-of the best guitar solos and vocal songs since modern recording
Yeah, the unpredictable timing of the lead guitar is so impressive. Notes don't come when you expect them, but the guitarist is on another level far above my mind.
Love this one! I've been patiently waiting for this! I would love it , if a guy sang this to me! I wouldn't be mad! It's a compliment.
Soooo happy happy you reviewed this fabulous song!😊
I am so glad you got to this. I was so happy to see you guys give a shout-out to Mickey Thomas when you covered the incredible banger Jane by Jefferson Starship.
This came out when I was in high school and it was softer than much of what I listened to, but it was on the radio and I found myself really liking it and I went out and bought the 45 RPM single and played it frequently for awhile in rotation.
Excited to hear this review.
Morning Cat ❤
A staple on all oldies stations and for good reason. ❤
Such a fan of this song! Thank you for reacting to it. Slow dance material in the best way possible!
Mickey gives a master class vocal performance on the live version and made it look so easy. Its really worth cheching out. I wore out several Juke Joint Jump 8-tracks in the 70s.
Elvin is one of the great country outlaws.
Never heard this unedited version. Great, Great Great!!!
Mickey Thomas has the pipes. See him perform live, and you will never regret it. His contributions to Jefferson Starship was the time frame I saw him perform. Back then, Starship would play this song to get the crowd into it. Follow up with Jane and tell me he is not underrated as a male vocalist.
Thanks, Andy! Thanks, Alex! 💎 #AndyAndAlex #ElvinBishop #FooledAroundAndFellInLove
CAN’T BELIEVE you didn’t rate this S+ !! I’m a 61 year old fan who has been watching you since the beginning of your journey. It’s been a joy 🎉 to watch you discover great music BUT I think you TOTALLY missed it on this song. I hope that you take another listen to it with the mindset of the two young guys I remember who were just starting out and didn’t technically dissect it but “FEEL the song! ❤💜💙
Should be S tier!! Amazing song!!
Probably because, like me, thsy don't think it's an s tune. Nothing wrong with that.
My all time favorite song should have been S tier
@@rayburn2007 They should only rate songs on their opinions, otherwise there is no point.
Objective, critical listening doesn’t simply mean, “I really like this so it’s an “S”.” I like ice cream, but it’s not a perfect food.
Love it! Fun sharing it together too
How do you not mention Mickey Thomas and his stellar vocal delivery in that song?!?!?
Seems like they tend to hone in on thee instruments but not the quality of voices
They probably thought Elvin Bishop was the vocalist like a 100 other people who reacted to this song.
@@greypossum1 iirc they just reacted to Jane, and lots of people suggested this song because of Thomas’s vocals. I assumed that’s why they chose it. Maybe they were just impressed with the other elements they weren’t expecting
@@pebblesanddirt All the more reason to specify Mickey Thomas singing for two different artists but I guess you never know. I'm expecting anything by Robbie Robertson next.
His voice is fantastic.
There's something haunting about Bishop's guitar solo. You can feel the deep emotions being conveyed in those chords.
Altho I am a big fan of Elvin Bishop and his guitar playing ability, I give this song at least an A for the vocals alone. That being said, you should do some EB where he does his own vocals (pre-Mickey Thomas) to truly appreciate his guitar work and humorous songwriting ability. "Travellin' Shoes" and "Stealin' Watermelons" are two fine examples just off the top of my head.
I was completely stunned when respected bluesman Bishop had this Top 40 hit.
One of my favorites from my teen years. Glad you played the album version.
I would have preferred an A+, but I was there as a teenager when it dropped. It was righteous then as now.
One of my favorite song from my earliest memory!!
