The thing about it is that the way gibson set their necks negates the benefit of a long tenon. Both those necks are modern necks. In 50's les pauls the neck came straight out of the body without that overhang on the bottom that covers up the neck joint. Since they couldn't hide a gap, the neck tenon had to be firmly contacting the body. Now that the neck heel hides any gap, they don't bother getting a tight fit. And since that part of the tenon isn't even contacting the body, it doesn't matter how long it is. This is why people constantly debate whether a long tenon is better than a short tenon, because gibson does them both wrong so it's hard to say one is better than the other.

Que saudade dessas banda que realmenre eram musicos de verdade sem essas bandinhas de karoke 😮

Wow

This performance live ! Is excellent 😊 !

Loved their funk but, there slow jams are classic’s my favorite is the timeless “A love of your own” which sounds good in any century!🫶🏽

C’mon folks…these AWB songs are some of the best soulful, funky R&B vibes still hitting in 2023! Been a fan since the ‘70’s. Hamish…in awe of his range! Alan…so damn good! Entire band….just blow you away! Man I hope these beautiful men reconnect and make it happen all over again! My soul needs it!

This is a real gem..........

I'm the one is the jam. Nothing but funk on that song

This concert was in '72 at Hofstra University. Duane had been gone one year. This is right before Berry's tragic death.

We Mexicans would go out to buy the LP then to see them live in the celebrity theater in Phoenix we didn't know they were white from Britain we thought there were black from America lots of fun good music

Man these WB'S have a Soul Brother's BEAT 💓

Wonderful

AWB is one of my favorite groups OLD SCHOOL love them.

Just pure soul epic performance , great musicians vocalists ,

malcolm molly duncan showing his skill and class, only snake davis IMO comes close to this guy, molly taken too soon, like all the greats his legacy will live forever.

very few bands can come up with voices like this, and IMO no one can touch them, their soulful coming togethyer and pure musicianship creates a band that will stand the test of time, and that is what they have done.

Alan and Hamish are an underrated, legendary bomb combo on the vocals. AWB needs there flowers. Oh yeah , love and light, and RIP Malcolm “Mollie” Duncan on sax. ☝🏾❤️ #youngoldheadapproved

Hamish Stuart, Allen Gorre, Molly Duncan on Sax, Steve Ferrone on drums....great until they split. 🎶💫🎶

Thats not a presentation of the long tenon at its final length... Its a lot shorter because its cut to accumulate a pickup. So actually the short and the long are closer than what this video tries to prove.

the best soul/funk band to come out of the UK by a country mile.

The band had a bitter breakup. Alan wanted to go more commercial and Hamish wanted to keep it straight R&B that's why Let's go Round again was produced by David Foster.

This ant no blue eyed soul this is pure black eyed funky soul.

I hate it when people call their music blue eyed soul.lts just soul music.

I remember watching this live in 79 it was on 7.0pm on a Saturday night. Fantastic

How I found this..Gods gift to me. Always been a true fan. AWB played in California on radios..house parties...skating rinks we had so much love for them 74 & on. My #1 favorites Hamish, Roger, RIP-Molly & both drummers RIP-Robby...they deserve so much more credit for their talents...

Thank You!

Ok....just my favorite guitarist since I was 15. Duane was 9 years older. This is just sick to put into today's vernacular...."expression". Sooooo beautiful...thank you for the upload. Look up Blue Sky on you tube and by default you will see my upload. Btw...I don't make any from it.....I just love sharing good music🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🙏🙏🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rajciYSkbsxnZqs

Too bad audio is so bad. Was great to watch anyway

Once the tenon is milled down for the pickup the difference is less than an inch.

hamish Stewart was the heart and back bone of awb i dont know why he left the band awb but it was never the sam e without him his voice singinging and getauir playing was central leader of band,i saw awb in concert in norfolk va when i was just 19 now im 64 im so glad i can still listen to them on internet thanks alot

One of the best concerts I ever attended and I've seen some greats the Jackson 5 in 79 EWF and many more,but AWB in November 1976 Atlanta Civic center set it off for me them boys was so down with soul music they crossed the waters and kept it real and funky they appreciated what we were taking for granted , we are a people with so much soul it effects the whole world!

....

Wow, creepy

Just to see Duane perform is Fine by me

Great explanation. Thanks!

Art Garfunkel ?

It's a shame by this time they'd gone a more commercial, sanitized direction. The 1977 Montreux performance is AWB in their prime, true funk and soul only shown in glimpses here.

Nice, I had no idea what people were talking about when they were talking about short/long neck tenon

an AWB without hamish is NOT the AWB...

funk n soul is colour blind.if you feel it,then welcome.

I was at this gig and appear a couple of times in the video. They absolutely killed it that night, shame the extended version of Pick Up The Pieces they played at the end wasn't included.

Awesome thanks huge difference

Thx for info man. I wonder how long is my neck tennon on my Epiphone Flying V 1967. Do you know anything about it ?

❤it jbt

Classic!! I remember the FEEL NO FRET album and it was a JAMMY!!! I also saw them perform in Cincinnati - "Palace Theatre" when they were promoting their FEEL NO FRET album... Fantastic concert 1979!! THANK YOU AWB & Hamish!!

Anyone who thinks a Long neck tenon helps tone or sustain needs help, do this simple experiment, take your Electric guitar(any will do) and rest it upon a wooden cabinet/shelf unit, resting only by the tip of the headstock, so only about a millimetre of wood is in contact(poor contact I may add) with the cabinet and strum it. then strum it lifted away, the difference will blow you away, hear all that acoustic transfer of energy by only less than a mm of contact ? yes you do, its profound, a short neck tenon is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy wayyyyyyyyyyyy efficient enough at transferring energy that a long tenon will make ZERO difference. ZERO. stronger joint you say? what the FUCK are you doing to your Guitar to break it off there?

Was feeling feeling and thought of AWB live" Love of my own" got me feeling like back in the day, reincarnated Brother with all this Soul. Peaceful music

the long tenon shown in this video is misleading cause the tongue of the long tenon is cut of right under the finger board...so the long tenon neck shown here is actually shorter.

listen to hamish sing walk on bye...omg..
