BBC Proms: Tom Jones and Steve Cropper: (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay

[@danielakardosova-kroslakov2999]

Masterful performance!!! 🌹🌹

[@rhondagodwin3991]

Wow Tom! "Who would prefer the new, having tasted the old wine?" You are better than ever! Truly seasoned. Marry me.

[@dagalagas]

And Booker T on the Hammond. Legends all over the stage.

[@michaelrhodes2512]

Heard Tom live blessed with such a wonderful voice

[@dynjarren8355]

This is nice! Hearing a new interpretation by two legends! RIP Otis Redding and Duck Dunn

[@robertfarrer724]

What a pleasure to see two great blues musicians show each other such fond mutual respect.

[@Bluestomiv]

Robert Farrer tom Jones is not a blues musician. That is an insult to blues music as a whole.

[@robertgowing723]

@@Bluestomiv I think Robert Farrer is totally correct and you are totally wrong

[@robertm2000]

Strictly speaking, both musicians can perform music that is blues influenced. But neither of them make it a practice to perform primarily actual blues. At least, not the same as the three Kings, B.B, Albert, and Freddie, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy and so on. Both Tom jones and Steve Cropper, to my way of thinking, are both more related to popular music. They are both excellent musicians, and each able to perform a wide range of musical styles very well. And there is no question that both performers have worked with a panoply of musicians and do that both very professionally and in a very entertaining way!

Iconic moment at 2:14 - Steve and tom with Sir Henry Wood's bust between them in the background . . .

[@BrotherBrownMusic]

What a precious moment between two musical legends

[@colingregory8967]

I saw Steve Cropper playing a session with the Animals a few years ago in a pub at Reeth North Yorkshire. What a complete privilege.

[@iehjful]

tom’s voice 💯% pureness

[@EsJeKo]

Booker T Jones and Steve Cropper one of the best combinations

[@gregdayton786]

These two are just amazing, total icons!

[@paineys3341]

Love this song, we was in BB Kings in Nashville and met a guy called Steve, his buddy told us he played with the Blues Brothers, anyway had a good chat and few drinks with him and his buddies, then he had to leave. We asked for our check and was told Steve had paid, it wasn’t till afterwards I found it was Steve ‘the colonel’ Cropper we had spent the evening with. Really want to get back to Nashville and thank him personally and buy him a drink.

what a down to earth gesture!

Two masters of their craft.

Just brilliant

[@annsmusic576]

Tom jones is beyond belief...... nothing better than listening to Tom sing....

[@Bluestomiv]

Anns Music listening to Otis Redding is better. ;P

[@unhingedsoulcollector8501]

NICE TO SEE BOOKER T SITTIN AT THE HAMMOND AS HE WALKS ON STAGE TO JOIN THE LEGENDARY STEVE "THE COLONEL" CROPPER. TOMS VOICE IS STILL AWSOME BUT STEVE CROPPERS PHRASING STIRS MY SOUL. THAT MANS PLAYING IS JUST MYSTICAL EVEN IN ITS SIMPLEST FORM. AWSOME PAIRING!!

[@aroe3896]

awesome pairing, well said!

[@MusicFed]

what's crazy is that Otis Redding sadly never got to hear the final version, with the sublime guitar licks added by Steve Cropper. such an iconic song

[@williamorwell3748]

Tom could have gone front of stage, but he knew the importance of the Crop, in the making of this brilliant song, so didn't steal the glory.

[@GREATCANADIANDOG]

Ya man!

[@mrkne7]

Amazing!👏👏👏👏

[@elainejamieson1754]

He is the best

[@Tikkurilaten]

Absolutely; so many classics by B T & MG's Try 'You keep me hanging on' for starters' from the album 'Doin' our Thing' as an introduction. If you're a cricket fan, think about the theme to 'Test Match Special' and there's another example from the most wonderful blues /soul instrumentalists of the popular music era.

[@stevecook8941]

Not a great fan but I remember seeing Tom back in the very late sixties with I think Jimmy Tarbuck as support......all I remember is what a great voice Tom had, he even started one song without the mike............amazing.

[@veronicaparks1136]

Perfection !!

[@paulofreire7520]

Awesome! 👍🏻🙏🏻

[@stuartliddle7228]

[@knutsigne]

You`re missing the real artist Steve Cropper, he is one of the legends in Memphis music. Listen to Booker T and the M G`s and you know what I mean...

[@Bluestomiv]

Yeah on the left side of tom Jones(right side of the screen) sitting at the organ.

[@c.blakerockhart1128]

Went to see B B KING a few years ago, and Steve came in. I couldn't believe it. Wanted to get his autograph, but he was just out chilling. Was really great to see TWO LEGENDS IN ONE night!

[@GavinMorris1]

Also played on the Otis Redding recording of this.

[@jennycraigadventures3314]

Who’s missing “The Colonel”? I came here to hear him more than Tom Jones.

[@nickmorris9689]

Bloke on the Hammond sounded quite handy as well

[@MrMusicguyma]

Tom remains a great stylist, though he has lost a little pitch-wise. Steve Cropper is a consummate guitarist/writer/ accompanist. Steve had to adjust his accompanment and time to Tom phrasing (which he did and seamlessly) Old pros.

можно ли забальзамировать Т. Джонса чтобы еще через 40 лет я снова видел его в здравии.... Впервые услышал его на пиратской кассете в 1975 году... мне было 14...

what a moving performance, and so poignant given this song was originally released after Otis Redding's untimely death

[@MFE92]

Check out Booker T!

[@joshuatweedy3396]

Toms singing makes everything better but i must say the original is far better in my opinion

[@phil2208]

just steve and tom you have about 150 years of musical expertise, and music business, and recording thousands of tunes in studo, and performing across the world, . so unless you have more experience and more talent than these guys, shut up and enjoy
