The reason why Jimmy Griffin didn't have a big solo career is simply because of the songs. David had a run there in the early 70s where he penned some great classic songs that couldn't be replicated by either, and although David had a few more hits after it, that 1970-73 run was incredible. David was simply a way better songwriter.

He is true blue person to be still married all these years to his high school sweetheart and now living with her in a retirement home living their life fully is a beautiful story and not many can say that.

James Griffin what a voice in a great band Bread look at all their music brilliant much missed all past and l loved them all

I didn't know back in the 80s, when I was in my teens, that listening to songs from bands like Bread was traveling back in time or watching a distant star. Experienced from a distance. I didn't even realize their greatest hits came out several years earlier. Today, their lyrics feel the same - like a parallel life we had a chance to live in our minds. This was how lyrics were written back then - love and life stories.

Not very many people could play the piano this good. This man has a lot of talent

Que maravilla de material este concierto del gram David Gates....gracias por tener esta belleza....los felicito!!

I'm glad I born to be a of all of this music.

What a great hit that I would play hundreds of times on the radio (DJ) years after... I was a kid and a favorite of mine never knowing until years later what "Mary" (aka: Mary Jane... AKA...) was.. hahahaha... My Minnesota Norwegian/German blood but my heart has become Filipino... great to see Larry Ramos (the guy with the hat and white suit total Filipino)(RIP) on stage.

Oh ya I’m here!

Dave Gate the best

So talented outstanding performance. I wish David Gates had kept signing and writing..

REGARDING MY JESUS MOTHER, DOROTHY ELIZABETH VAN DE CAR MASON, I WAS 3.5 YRS OLD THE FIRST TIME I CALLED ON JESUS, I WOKE UP AND HEARD CRASHING, AND MY MOTHER SCREAMING, I RAN UNDER MY BED. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW JESUS PROTECTED YOU, I THOUGHT HE MUST COME DOWN FROM THE SKY, ALL I KNEW IS JESUS LOVES YOU, THIS YOU KNOW, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS YOU SO. MY SISTER SUSIE SANG THAT TO ME, SO I THOUGHT SHE WAS WITH GOD BECAUSE OF THAT. AND THAT JESUS PROTECTS YOU. SO, I CALLED OUT TO JESUS, SAID, JESUS PLEASE HURRY GET HEAR. AND I HEARD A VOICE, WHAT CHILD IS CALLING ON JESUS? I SAID, JESUS, DON'T YOU KNOW, I HEARD, JESUS HAS MANY CHILDREN, IS THIS THE FIRST TIME MY CHILD HAS CALLED ON JESUS, JESUS NEEDS TO KNOW MY CHILDS NAME. I WAS 3, I DON'T KNOW WHAT A NAME IS? I SAY I DON'T KNOW NAME, JESUS ASKS WHAT DOES MY FATHER CALL ME, I SAY, JESUS, AREN'T YOU MY FATHER IN HEAVEN, JESUS SAYS, WHY YES, BUT WHAT DOES MY MOTHER CALL MY CHILD, I SAY I DON'T KNOW MOTHER, JESUS KNOWS HE IS RISEN WITH A SMALL CHILD, BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HOUSE HE IS RISEN IN, IN ORDER TO SEND FORTH A JESUS. I SAY, JESUS, IF I GONNA DIE, CAN YOU MAKE ME GO TO SLEEP, AND I FELL ASLEEP. THE NEXT MORNING, I DO NOT REALUZE JESUS IS STILL RISEN WITH ME, I WALK OUT TO THE KITCHEN, AND MY MOTHER IS THERE, JESUS SEES MY MOTHER, I HEAR, WHO IS THIS WOMAN TO MY JESUS CHILD, I SAY, THAT MY MOMMY, THIS WENT ON, FOR WEEKS, I DO NOT KNOW, MEN ARE IN THE HOUSE ATTACKING MY MOTHER, MY MOTHERS LIGHT IS COMPLETELY KILLED, JESUS KNOWS MY MOTHER, BUT HE CANNOT RISE UP, BECAUSE SHE HAS SPIRITUALLY DIED. MY FATHER, WAS WORKING TWO JOBS. CANNOT LEAVE HIS JOB, BECAUSE HE WILL LOSE HIS JOB, AND HE IS FIGHTING HOLY WARS, BUT BELIEVES HE IS CALLING GOD, WHEN HE IS CALLING LORD, SO, HIS LIGHT IS OUT, ALL I KNOW, IS I LOVE MY BROTHER JERRY, AND I WANT HIM TO COME HOME, BUT GOD DOES NOT HAVE THIS INTEL. I DID NOT KNOW WHERE HE WENT, AT THAT TIME I DID NOT KNOW, THE NEIGHBORS, THE COOKS, WHO CLAIMED THEY WERE EDUCATED PEOPLE, HAD MY BROTHER JERRY MOVE IN WITH THEM, AND MY BROTHER JIM WENT AWAY, AND MY BROTHER DENNY MOVED TO MY AUNT RITA AND MY NAZI UNCLE NILES, SUSIE MOVED TO AUNT MARLAS, ALL MY BROTHERS WERE IN SCHOOL, SO, WHEN THE DOGS CAME DURING THE DAY, I RAN AND HID, THERE WERE NOW OTHER JESUS IN THE HOUSE SO GOD COULD SEE WHAT THEY SAW, BRYAN, TOMMY AND TIMMY, LIVED THERE BUT WERE GONE, EXCEPT TOMMY AND BRYAN AT NIGHT WERE IN THIER ROOM.

AND, IN THAT SUMMER, THEY TOOK MY DOLL AND PLAYED HOCKEY WITH MY 1 AND ONLY DOLL, UNTIL HER HEAD CAME OFF. AT THAT TIME, YOU COULD NOT JUST PUT IT BACK ON, YOU NEEDED A TOOL TO DO IT, AND MY BROTHERS WOULD CALL ME A CRY BABY, GO TELL MOMMY DADDY, TATTLE TALE. SO, I DID NOT TELL, BUT I WOULD ASK MY FATHER IF HE WOULD PUT MY DOLLS HEAD ON, THE FIRST TIME, HE ASKED, MARLA, WHAT DID YOU DO TO THIS DOLL, I WAS AFRAID TO TELL HIM, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A TATTLETAIL, I SAID, I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN, HE SAID, MARLA, YOU MUST KNOW, I SAID, I DONT, THIS WENT ON ALL SUMMER, I AM CALLING JESUS, JESUS WANTS ME TO TELL MY FATHER, BUT I AM AFRAID, THEN, MY BROTHER'S TOMMY AND BRYAN, TAKE HER, AND THE HEAD COMES OFF, ONLY THIS TIME MY FATHERS MOTHER, WHO COLLECTED DOLLS, MADE DOLLS CAME OVER, SHE WORKED AT THE DOLL HOSPITAL, SO I ASKED HER IF SHE COULD TAKE MY DOLL TO THE HOSPITAL, SHE SAID, WHAT DID YOU DO TO THIS DOLL, I SAID NOTHING, SHE SAID YOU NEED TO LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR THINGS, I SAID I TRY, THEN I THOUGGT SHE COULD FIX MY ONLY BARBIE, BECAUSE HE BROTHERS TOOK OFF HER LEGS AND ARMS, AT THAT TIME, NOT EVEN MY FATHER HAD A TOOL TO FIX HER, MY GRANDMOTHER HAD THAT TOOL TOO. SOON AS SHE FIXED HER, MY BROTHERS RAN AND BROKE HER AGAIN, AND SHE AND WHEN THEY GIVE HER BACK, THEN THEY TOOK MY DOLL AND CUT OFF ALL HER HAIR, AND CALLED ME A CRY BABY, BECAUSE OF THIS, AND NOW, MY BROTHER JERRY IS AT WAR, BUT I DO NOT KNOW THAT, I AM DYING, MY MOTHER IS STILL UNDER ATTACK, THEN, MY BROTHERS TAKE MY DOLL AND PLAY HOCKEY, BUT MY GRANDMA PUT HER HEAD ON SO GOOD, THEY COULD NOT GET HER HEAD TO COME OFF, SO, THEY THROUGH HER ON THE ROOF, SO, I WAIT, HOPING SOMEONE WILL SEE HER, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER, SO, I ASKED JESYS, IF HE WOULD SAVE MY DOLL, THAT DAY, MY FATHER CAME HOME, I WAS ON THE PORCH, HE LOOKED AROUND, AND SAID, MARLA WHERE IS YOUR DOLL, I SAID, I DONNO, HE SAID, MARLA, YOU MUST KNOW, I SAID, ARE YOU GOING TO GET MAD AT ME, HE SAID NO, I AM NOT GOING TO BE MAD, I SAID, HERS ON THE ROOF, THEN HE YELLED, HOW DID YOUR DOLL GET ON THE. ROOF, I SAID, I DONNO, I DONNO, I DONNO, YOU SAID YOU WOULD NOT GET MAD, HE SAID MARLA, I AM NOT MAD AT YOU, I SAID ARE YOU GOING TO GET HER, HE SAID, YES, I WILL GET HER. SO, HE WENT AND GOT THE LADDER, BUT I FORGOT MY BROTHERS CUT OFF HER HAIR, THEN MY FATHER YELLED, MARLA WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS DOLLS HAIR, I SAID, I DONNO, I DONNO, BUT I DO NOT KNOW, THAT SOMEONE IS TELLING MY FATHER THAT IS MY MOTHER, THAT SHE IS NOT WATCHIHG, MY MOTHER WAS GETTING KILLED BY MEN RAPING HER, NOW MY FATHER IS BEATING MY MOTHER, ONLY I DO NOT KNOW THAT HE IS BEING TOLD THAT MY MOTHER IS DOING THIS, NOW MY BROTHERS TAKE MY DOLL AGAIN, AND THEY ARE PLAYING HOCKEY, I CALL JESUS, AND ASK HIM TO SAVE MY DOLLY, AND 20 OR 30 MINUTES LATER, I TURN MY HEAD, I SEE MY DADS COUNTY CAR, MY DAD NEVER CAME HOME EARLY, AND I KNEW MY BROTHERS WERE GONNA GET IT, I JUMPED UP, AND RAN IN MY ROOM, JESUS GET HERE, PLEASE, I HEAR MY FATHER YELLING, BUT I CANNOT HEAR WHAT HE IS SAYING, THEN MY FATHER SAID, MARLA, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, I WILL GET YOU A NEW DOLL, I SAID, REALWI, HE SAID YES,WHAT DOLL DO YOU WANT, I SAID CHATTY CATHY, THE FIRST TALKING DOLL. BUT, AFTER, I HEARD, MAYBE NOW THAT I AM GETTING A NEW DOLL, I SHOULD THROW THIS ONE IN THE GARBAGE, I SAID, JESUS, I KNOW HER NOT AS PRETTY AS BUT SHE VERY SPECIAL TO ME, I REALLY FELT LIKE JESUS WANTED ME TO THROW HER IN THE GARBAGE, SO, I SAY, OKAY, I WILL TRY, I WALK TO THE GARBAGE CANS OUTSIDE, AND I LOOK, AND NOT ONE, BUT ALL MY BROTHERS HOCKEY STICKS ARE BROKE IN HALF, I GO, JESUS, DID YOU DO THAT, I TRIED TO THROW MY DOLL OUT, BUT I JUST COULD NOT DO IT, THE NEXT MORNING, I AM ROCKING MY DOLL, SINGING TO HER, AND I EXPLAIN THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEW DOLLY, BUT EVEN THOUGH SHE IS A NEW DOLLY, I STILL LOVE YOU JUST AS MUCH AS HER, THEN, MY BROTHER TOMMY WALKS UP, GRABS MY DOLL, TAKES A SCREW DRIVER, PUNCHES OUT HER EYE, STABBS HER TO DEATH, AND I HANDS HER BACK, AND SAYS, THERE, THE LORD EVENS THE SCORE, YOU TAKE OUT MY BROTHERS LIGHT I WILL TAKE OUT YOUR LIGHT, AND I STOOD UP, AND YELLED, WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO ME, I NEVER DO NOTHIN TO YOU, WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN, BY THIS TIME, THIS IS HAPPENING TO AT SCHOOL, AT HOME, I THROW MY DOLL DOWN, I RUN IN THE HOUSE, MY MOTHER, SAYS MARLA, WHERES YOUR DOLL, GO GET YOUR DOLL, I STOMPED MY FOOT, I POINTED AT MY MOTHER, AND SCREAMED NO, THEY KILLED HER, SHES DEAD LIKE GRANDMA, I NEVER SAW THAT DOLL AGAIN, BUT ALL THIS WAS BEFORE MY BROTHERS KNEW GOD EXISTED, THEY WERE IN THE NAZI BULLIES ARMY, BEING TAUGHT GOD WAS A MADE UP LIE, IF THE HAD CALLED GOD, INSTEAD OF LORS, GOD COULD HAVE HELPED, I WOKE THEM UP TO GOD...THAY ARE NOTHING LIKE THAT NOW, NOW THEY ARE JESUS BIG BROTHERS, BUT ONE DAY, I AM GOING TO GET EVEN, OH I FORGOT, I DID WITH BRYAN, I PLAYED A PRANK ON, HIS BOSS BILL HELP ME, I SAID, THAT IS FOR SITTING ON ME HANGING SPIT ON ME. I LOVE MY JESUS BROTHERS, AND AFTER THIS DAY, ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I WOULD LIKE NOT TO RELIVE MY MEMORIES OF SUFFERING. THEY WERE DECEIVED, KIDNAPPED BY SATANS DECEPTION, PROVE GOD EXISTS. BUT I STOLED THEM FROM THE NAZIS, THEN THEY BECAME MY PROTECTORS, LIKE MY OTHER JESUS BROTHERS, BUT NOT SUSIE. SUSIE WAS PART OF THAT DECOTION. AND PART OF THE REASON I WAS ATTACKED ALONG WITH MY MOTHER. I SAVED MY MOTHER...BUT, MY JESUS FATHER, EARL HENRY MASON, I DID NOT KNOW THAT MY FATHER BROKE MY BROTHERS HOCKEY STICKS, AND THEN HE SAID TO MY BROTHERS, IF YOU TAKE OUT MY LIGHT I WILL TAKE OUT YOURS, LATER, WHEN I ASKED JESUS, I THOUGHT THEY DID NOT TAKE OUT MY FATHERS LIGHT, THEY TOOK OUT MINE, BUT I ASKED JESUS, IT IS A ❤ TO HEART, MY FATHER, AND MOTHERS ❤ LIGHT WAS OUT, BECAUSE MY ❤ LIGHT WAS OUT. SO, WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTERS, I SAID IT THIS WAY, I AM YOUR JESUS MOTHER, YOU ARE MY JESUS BABIES, MY JOB IS TO SAVE, PROTECT, AND DEFEND MY BABY JES, SO, IF YOU HURT THIS JESUS, YOU HURT ME, THEN MY JOB IS TO SAVE CHRISSY, AND STRAIGHTEN YOU UP, BUT IF CHRISSY HURTS KIM, THEN SHE HURTS ME, THEN MY JOB IS TO SAVE KIM,VAND STRAIGHTEN UP CHEISSY, CHRISSY WAS BEING CALLED A TATTLE TAIL. SO, I ASKED HER IF IT WAS THE TRUTH, I PRAYED ABOUT THIS TATTLETALE, I WILL NEVER BE ANGRY IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH, I CANNOT PROTECT YOU, IF YOU DO NOT TELL ME, I TRY TO PAY ATTENTION, NOW IS THIS THE TRUTH, CHRISSY SAID, NO, THEY HUGGED ALL WAS WELL, BUT HERE IS THE TRUTH, CHRISSY WAS MY BABY JESUS AND,KIMMY AND KATHY WERE BEING TOLD TO BULLY CHRISSY, AND WHEN THIS OCCURRED I KNEW IT, BUT THE MESSAGE WAS FOR KIM AND KATHY,CAND THEY GOT IT! BUT, CHRISSY SAVED HER JESUS MOTHER FROM FALLING. I ROSE UP AGAIN.

❤❤❤3 GOOD JESUS KINGS, 2 DOGS ON HIS SHIP, NEITHER DRUMMER IS ON THE CROSS, THEY PAID TO PLAY, NEVER DID THE WALK FOR GOD, THEY ARE ON THE NAZI STOCKMOCKING STEAL THE KINGDOM FROM JESUS.

Bio's Bahnhof.

lipsynching to the record - boo!

Acho que o bread acabou por ter perdido aquele maravilhoso guitarrista (The Guitar man) que era quem criava as melhores harmonias das músicas. Magia pura.

I wanted to roam, but his words keep me listening.

Wow. Talk about the most dreamy loving lyrics ever! No one will ever top Favid in NY that department, ever.

Brilliant.

What a haunting ballad. Great privileged to her it

Love this song

Wow. Great. Magic.

Beautiful 🌈🌈

Brilliant Brian❤

Looks like they are lip syncing, the first song at least, maybe not?

World class vocals and songwriter, vocals so so smooth and light, AWESOME!

Very glad they performed Aubrey. Bravo.

Jimmy does David. Good stuff.

Wow!!! ❤

Unless a singer smokes a lot, voices rarely change. He sounds like it’s early 1970s. Clear as a bell.

The 60s had good music and talented musicians. All members of the Association can take lead vocals

hard to believe david is only member of bread that is still alive

Excelente 😢❤

David Gates greatest hit and Bread with James Griffin 1970s was the great year of this band

Man, glad you guys can name a favorite song but their stuff covers such a variety of vibes they had so much talent. Cherish is undeniably a monster hit but I like all the elements of Everything that Touches You.

His voice still very beautiful in his age now

These guys were Amazingly Talented and oh So SeXy❤. Over the years I changed my genre of music to Country, still love it but I've just now , at the age of 75, realized that something was missing in my Life, lo and Behold it is the Hollies❤ Can't stop watching their videos. Loving my Life❤

Sherri, beloved wife of my youth, are you listening? I miss you more than words can say.❤

Unbelievable musicianship, everything perfect, vocals as if there was autotune. And so good compositions. Whatever happened to pop music?

❤🎉exelente.melodia.es.muy.sweet.por.gue.llega.alma.del.corazon.por.esta.depertando.el.amor.del.ser.gue.amas.con.el.alma.❤🎉

soft rock perfection.

Always a fan of the band Bread! ♥️🌟👋

One of the best in the often-maligned soft rock genre.

Love James😊😊😊😊😊

Thanks for your SONG GOD bless everyone Barakallah fiikum 😂😂❤❤❤❤

Weird when the dixie though that God have difficulties hoe to handle the world for his forbidden fruits😂😂😂😂 And keep insist that the one who caused those fruits must have time and area as a 🏆😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

If BREAD had been dressed in Girl Clothes or had Scandelous Lyrics ... for sure, they would be in Hall of Fame -- But because they were overall Clean musicians , with no notable vices . Well, only we Rock Ballad Lovers keep their memory alive. I do not ever recall the radio playing them in the 80's . and for sure not the 90's. At least, not the Top radio stations. But I DO recall endless loops of like 10 songs being played all day long - pretty sure those spots were paid for , and we missed out on true music

Same voices and harmonies in their 50s

En los 70s el Rock combinado con Orquesta le daba unos sonidos especiales a la medolias, musica muy profunda 😊😊😊😊
