It's MAGIC!!!

Jan Akkerman was one of the most gifted guitarists, who never really got the acclaim he deserved. He did some solo albums, basically playing unbelievably complex organ & lute pieces, on guitar.

That's not the full performance. The full performance is on The Midnight Special channel and is just over 6 minutes long. Unfortunately it doesn't include the intro by Gladys Knight

😂 5:53 no, the guy in front was on something 😂

I have watched EVERY reaction video for this performance for the absolute joy of seeing the faces of the reactors...LOL!!!

Dutch band! in the style od Jethro Tull. Jan Akkerman on guitar, he came from Brainbox. Another Dutch bank you should check out! Thijs van Leer the flute player had a classical education.

Sympathy for the devil, gimme shelter, midnight rambler, you can,t always get what you want, love in vain etc. Etc.

One of the Hawks that got fined for celebrating Bird said something like it was a price he was happy to pay for one of the best seats in the house for that game lol.

I've loved Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass for nearly sixty years now. It feels good to see that their music still resounds with young people today. Thank you! ❤

Taylor was beatin' those drums like they owed him money. Amazing sound and the endurance it takes to play hard through this entire song is not for the feign of heart. 🤘

You should check out the live version of Frankenstein by Edgar Winter

Metallica song: Nothing Else Matters??

Dutchie here,and yes,lucky to be crazy. It's fun. Thanks man, nice reaction. 👍😁💪

Larry Bird is my favorite player of all time. Still I would rank Dr. J #1 because I feel the Doc started it all, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan numbers 2,3,and 4 respectively and probably Dominique at #5! I remember watching the games, looking forward for weeks with anticipation at the Los Angeles Lakers versus the Boston Celtics usually playing on Christmas Day and again on Super Bowl Sunday right before the Super Bowl!! My friends and I were divided equally between Boston and L. A.. it was a glorious time! Beer, barbecue, laughter and alcohol 🍻 flowing freely throughout the day ! We laughed so much! We enjoyed each other’s company very much as well!!

Talk about a song that would NEVER be covered!😂❤❤❤❤

Watch the Rockin1000 cover of Learn To Fly. A small Italian town wanted the Foo Fighters to play their town. They got 1000 musicians and singers together and shot a video and put it up as the appeal to the band. Dave and the band were so moved that Dave posted a video back in Italian saying that they would come and play their small town. So the band added an extra date at the end of the European tour to play this small town’s arena. Also check out when the band trolls hate groups before concerts, as well as when the band brings up people from the crowd to pl;ay guitar, Kiss Man playing Monkey Wrench is one of the better ones. Or Dave’s epic drum battle with Nandi, a pre teen girl from England, that resulted in Nandi playing Everlong to close a show in LA. Not to mention Dave is a huge BBQ guy, and brings his smoker out and cooks for the homeless in LA shelters, he did this on Super Bowl Sunday and when they had floods out there , as well as firefighters fighting wild fires in California.

metallica would had taken it from zed zeppelin

Polo, try and find time to watch this live at Wembley with the 13 year old drummer Nandi Bushell. It’ll blow your mind

Now check out the version with Feist that they did before the Junos

Check out the song Ticket To Ride 'Carpenters'

Very enjoyable! 😅

Listen to the studio version 😉👍

☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎🤪

Please take a listen to Bruce Cockburn I guess I'd recommend "Wondering where the lions are" , "If I had a rocket launcher", "Tokyo" , or "Momma just wants to barrelhouse" I read once; when asked "How does it feel to be one of the greatest guitar players"...Eddy Van Halen answered.."I don't know, ask Bruce Cockburn"... he has a subtle punch quality.

I'm 60 and I've been listening to this since it came out. Now every time I see that singer ... he looks like Trump as a hippie hahahaha ... makes me laugh even more.

These guys at Glastonbury were off the scale great

I have the original studio recording of this on 45 - and digitally, it’s on my playlist of “songs that make me happy”. Perfect house-cleaning motivational music.

Ant man is bring this type of love an energy back

This is not the version we grew up with. This is kind of a sloppy mess.

Grew up with this and it was imprinted in my DNA, always brings me to my happy place.

"I dont' even know what I'm listening to." Yeah, that's about right. Def not something to listen to unless you'd like a good headache.

Michael learned from Larry about the importance of getting into the head of people talking trash thus getting them off their game. Michael actively forbade his team players to engage with Larry Bird when Larry started talking trash to them and Michael knew how damaging that would be because he knew his team players would not be able to hold it together if Larry got into their heads. About clutch, I very much doubt that any other player in the history of basket ball has ever managed to score so many winning shots in the last 1-2 seconds of a game than Larry Bird. When Larry Bird started in NBA, there was not even a 3 point line and yet, he already made shots from out there or further away. Larry Bird in his prime was unbeatable. Michael actually won over everybody except Bird and the Celtics at that time. When asked, Magic admitted that Larry was a better overall player simply because he was a better shooter and that says something considering how good a player Magic was in his prime.

It is an odd song now and it was odd in 1973 when I first heard it. I laughed when I saw the title of your video, wondering how you were going to react to your first rock yodeling video. I think I have this album somewhere. Need to pull it out and listen to it again. 50 years after hearing it the first time. 😳

Hi Polo, I just woke up to see that you were going to be listening to Hocus Pocus. I was thrilled! I was introduced to this band along with so many other prog rock bands by my then boyfriend in 1972/73. It opened up a whole new, amazing world for me. Pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson, Strawbs, Exception, Curved Air, Emerson,Lake and Palmer. The list goes on, and on. We were an hours drive away from Toronto Ontario’s Massey Hall, where all these amazing bands came to play. At one point they had Cheap Thrills concerts for 5 dollars. It was a great venue, old, with renown acoustics. Focus is on the list of my favourite bands and l love Hocus Pocus! Van Leer got a little silly with the facial expressions. Partly because they had to speed the song up so much and l think there was some tongue in cheek going on. They put out 4 or more albums, all of which l have. Hocus-Pocus is the one ‘out there’ song. The rest of their music is melodic and beautiful. I want you to know that l’ve truly enjoyed your ‘show’. It’s so interesting and often so much fun to hear your reaction to so many exceptional artists. It’s been educational as. I’ve heard so many songs I’ve loved but never knew the name of the band. I like your calm, humble ways and the fact that you rarely interrupt a song, something that l find irritating with so many others. You are now, the only person l listen to. Thank you so much for taking me along on your journey of discovery. I’m with you on Pink Floyd being on the top 6. For the other top six bands, I’d say Gentle Giant, Genesis( the original group, only) and King Crimson. There are way too many other top contenders to make any more choices. Being a techno peasant, I’ll have to ask a friend how to send a donation. Cheers, Wendy Crawford.

BIRD was #1 clutch shooter!!

Spectacular musicianship

Love foo fighters

In the 80s, I went to over 100 Celtics games games with my brother in law and sister, who had been season ticket holders since the Sidney Wicks/Curtis Rowe era because Dave Cowens was still playing. I started going in 1981-88. I saw Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Patrick Ewing and others as rookies. Whenever Bird did a flashy play, I thought I was seeing things. I pick Bird as the better clutch player over Jordan based on two things. In 1981, I went to a Celtics game against Milwaukee. In the first quarter, Harvey Catchings accidentally elbowed Bird in the face. Bird had to go to the locker room, presumably for the rest of the game. He came back in the 4th quarter and beat Milwaukee almost single handedly. The second time, during the 1984 NBA finals, the Celtics got blown out by the Lakers and Bird questioned the heart of the other Celtics players. After that, the Celtics went on to win the title.

Larry was the most clutch player hands down. Not even close

Never ever learned to like them and that’s putting it mildly!

There is a touching live version of this song that’s a tribute to Taylor Hawkins where his son accompanies on the drums

Drums and bass is my favourite part too, and it's probably because it's the only unironic part of the tune. The rest of it is a circus act, but the drums and bass which is the backbone of any tune remind you that this is real music, which allows the thing to have a foot in both worlds. It's half joke half cool, which is why it's remembered.

Thjis van Leer..the yodeler.....is still touring today ....with Focus......51 years later ! !

Polo, I love that you played the song again. This song has always touched my soul. I sliced my wrists, because people didn't understand me. I have bipolar. A horrible rollercoaster ride that never ends. Till the doctors learned of what I have. The meds they prescribed, took me off that rollercoaster. Allowing me to rest my mind. I've been able to actually enjoy life. Thanks for this channel, Polo. You really are a great guy.

I loved this song when it came out. Watching your face hearing it for the first time was great. Still have this album in my collection.

RIP!

"Then Chewbacca comes in going nuts on the vocals" and your facial reactions throughout this video were amazing!!! This is why I keep coming back to your channel. I love that you are not afraid to branch out and listen to something that you would normally never listen to, the honest and real reactions from you are top notch!

Floyd is jazz frfr but, I'm not a huge jazz fan. I❤❤ Pink Floyd though.
