LOVE IT.

Wonderful recollections,

Thank you for this. What a great legacy for the Colonial and the city of Toronto. Spent many times there inviting friends to enjoy jazz in Toronto. Think Cannonball Aderley and his brother Nat were the last gig I attended. Such wonderful memories. Subscribed.

BB King and Commander Cody - 2 great shows!

It's an angel singing! This girl is wonderful!

Thank you so much for the summary! It should be heard by more residents.

P r o m o S M

the music at the square is the lowest quality in years. in the past Iggy Pop Devo Flaming Lips?

Why is Cadillac Fairview powerless in putting an end to the near-constant LOUD and annoying drumming and Indian Punjabi parties that go on outside the Eaton Centre almost every weekend? Cars are parked illegally on the southwest corner of Yonge & Dundas almost every weekend in a long line. Can't Cadillac Fairview put an end to this nonsense somehow?

ooohhhhhyes

discovering about Chris only now, loving it so far! Great artist. Hi from Brazil!

How is there only 2 comments?! This is amazing 😭

I’ve been a fan of Chris since I was a teenager, and 10 years later, I still depend on him and his music heavily. Such a staple for so many memories. This is one of my favorite videos out there, so much love for this guy.

This is amazing to see my Caribbean culture & music proudly represented in my home city Toronto! 🇹🇹🇨🇦 Hope to 1 day have my own music included in the future!

Great voice thank you for posting

With each passing decade it becomes clearer that we need to preserve this era. After all, "real" music has ceased to exist. Today Kanye just flicks a switch and calls it talent.

Very well done!!! Question: wasn’t there a place downstairs from The Colonial called “The Meet Market”? Circa 1972-1973?

Hi Richie. My name is Jennifer I enjoy your song 's, just waiting to see you guys playing in the parks.i wish it will be soon

My girlfriend and I were under age, so we'd make dinner reservations, jacket and tie, get a spectacular table close to the stage, order drinks and dinner and enjoy the show. No questions asked. Saw a few great performances, including Muddy Waters, with a red Tecaster and a stellar band. By then, he just played slide solos; the band covered everything else. I think he had James Cotton on harp.

HELLO, lovely Lady @ 6:40, Me too

What an amazing sound, guys!!

The Dreamboats are so awesome every 50s/60s song they play and their own songs are awesome too! If you're looking the other way when they start playing a cover song you'll think the original band is on stage...it's unbelievable! 🥰💞Can't wait to see you again live inside or out!

Amazing.. Was waiting for a Steal my heart ❤ acoustic

The Colonial was an ok place, saw Muddy Waters & BB there, got there a bit late & were sent to the balcony both times. It was great, turns out we were about 20 feet away & 10’ above then. They go on about the jazz but I’ve not been a fan, but the blues was much better. Much.

So so much talent

ooohhhhhhyes

Thanks for making this!!! I had NO IDEA about this venue. I hope more docs will be made like this about our citys history!

I just discovered Jeremy’s music from a Dodo video, of all places, featuring “One Day at a Time.” What an amazing, meaningful song. I then stumbled on this video set. Such a great sound! “Fall Apart” is another great song. Wishes for much success, Jeremy. Add “Fall Apart” to Amazon, please!

Great memories, Its just a shame the real estate for profit folks don't care about the history of Toronto. ✌

Great stuff Chris , Yardsale on the piano at the end 👌

Brought back many great memories for me. Dave Milbourne

“Love shit” is my fav song that La Kala sings...... she’s so beautiful 😍

AWESOME!!!

Keep these coming. That was so informative and polished a production.

Such a well done video about the Colonial! As young musicians in this city, it's great to hear first-hand accounts from the people that had connections to it. Always proud of the music in this great city!

We moved to Toronto in 1967. As a young teenager I'd wander in to the Colonial every now and then. Order a cola and catch a set or two.Dizzy Gillespie, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Big Mama Thornton were among the great performers I saw there. Just incredible!

What a great insight into the blues and jazz history of the Colonial in Toronto. Must have been a very exciting time for those music lovers who were fortunate enough to have seen all of these musicians live.

A fabulous production! 5 Stars! Thank you for celebrating such an iconic Toronto venue. Your documentary is a great tribute, well deserved and a wonderful legacy piece. My Father frequented the Colonial Tavern in the 1940s, 50s, 60 & 70s, and spoke highly of the times he spent at this absolute gem of a club. He politely bragged about all of the world-class stars that he witnessed performing on the Colonial Tavern stage, with a glow in his eyes.

I saw Jimmy Smith there great concert great venue
