Blood Sweat & Tears - Go Down Gamblin' feat. Larry DeBari

[@MrI4ko]

I don't understand why this man is so underrated. After seeing this playing I think he definitely should be in the Rock and roll hall of fame.

[@Drumcam]

Thank you Mri4ko for your kind remark about our dear departed friend, Larry DeBari. We who knew him and played music with him miss him dearly since his untimely departure. We are so glad that his genius is being appreciated by people like you! Larry did not make any attempt to recreate anything that came before. He simply interpreted music his own way. For that reason, there are those who love what he did with BS&T. And there are those who dislike what he did. We fully understand this…but again, thank you so much!

[@XxBuCNaStYxX13]

I've been listening to Blood Sweat and Tears since I was 13 . I know music has changed a whole lot but creativity like this has gone by the wayside.

[@adrianpoesiat]

I first heard them when I was 12. You bet, creative, jazzy, great combo of horns and DCT rumbling power vocals

[@tradrjk]

Tiny piece of history.... I produced a BST concert at St John's...way back Don McLean opened

[@bicyclecrunch]

wow...

[@virgilrw]

The guitarist was phenomenal and the whole group sounds sensational! ☆☆☆☆☆

[@davearguez]

Larry Debari was amazing. I knew him well and man could he play. And few knew how great his voice was. R.I.P. brother. LEGEND INDEED

[@GTH321]

How do I just now find songs so good like this at 50 and I am usually good at this

[@williameisenberg1999]

This is how it’s done …. The good old Rock days ,so happy I lived through the greatest Rock music in history….

[@johnhealy6676]

One of the greatest bands to caress my ears

[@Drumcam]

The one-and-only, often imitated but never duplicated: Larry DeBari succumbed to lung cancer after a valiant fight, in 1999. He is greatly missed by all who knew him. Thanks for asking.

[@arame29]

So sad

[@robster7316]

Larry absolutely kicks butt on this tune. What a performance! Thanks for posting.

[@samlambros2609]

Man the fire in this guy's fingers. Wow! Such energy and emotion all wrapped up together. Eddie Van who? This guy blows them all away.

[@Drumcam]

Sam Lambros We are so glad you are enjoying our dear friend, Larry DeBari, who left us here on Earth way too early. We miss him dearly...but we are so glad that kind appreciative people like you are able to get into his unique talent here on KZbin.

[@tonydee6658]

I knew him, and his brothers. Some of the coolest, down to earth people. He let me jam with him and his band, and I butchered Statesboro Blues. What an incredible musician!! Man, could he wail!!

[@mahto54]

One of my best friends also! Grew up together in the Catskills. One of the best musicians I've ever known! Gone too soon and sorely missed Love ya brother!!

[@Drumcam]

Thank you so much, licksnkicks. Your kind words about our dear friend: the one-and-only Larry DeBari, are greatly appreciated. We agree wholeheartedly! Larry left us in this world some time ago. He is greatly missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace, Larry! Thanks again.

[@petecsanky]

Clayton always ran a tight ship in his band, and you can be sure by the back-and-forth on stage with (the late) Larry DeBari on guitar, that he was enjoying it. DCT live at his best, and the smokin guitar intro sets up the rest of the song perfectly......

[@robertfollett6084]

Great to see bst and I got to see them in concert in Boston during the late 80s and they were great and this guitar player is awesome

[@rodolfobarretotuya6181]

B.S.&.T...Larry De Bari y Clayton el duo perfecto, extraordinarios musicos , imposible no amar a esta banda norteamericana, regalondonos sus temas atemporales...

[@smeriau]

Larry, the ONE De Bari ! LARRY & DC-T really ROCK !!! Forever Larry in our musical souls !

[@shadowmoses5347]

that dude ripped those scales to pieces

[@JoeNocella]

Great guitarist and band! Sorry to hear Larry passed away so young..

[@Drumcam]

Thank you! Larry is greatly missed by us all!

[@whotwo]

David spent decades putting together lineups of BS&T. He was and is amazing.

[@anthonyxuereb792]

What a performance!

[@denisehedden13]

🥀Awesome Job Guys Song is amazing music is unbelievable fantastic guitar solo WOW🥀🤘

[@Drumcam]

Denise Hedden thank you so much...We miss guitarist/vocalist Larry DeBari dearly...and your kind compliment is greatly appreciated...

[@richmills1]

This is astounding, funky as anything and rocking hard

[@Drumcam]

Thanks Rich!.... greatly appreciated!

[@Drumcam]

Thank you so much, powerpop2000. Larry was very much loved; and is greatly missed by all who ever knew him or had the privilege of playing with him.

[@buserror1]

I have a feeling that when I die and meet God, the clouds are gonna part, a beam of light will come down, and he'll be D.C. Thomas.

[@WyldeKyle15]

i never knew that that dude could shred like a beast that was absolutely amazing

[@OZRIC1985]

I just looked up the guitarist Larry DeBari and I found that he died in 1999 at the young age of 45. :-o That's tragic. :( He sure did some great guitar work with Blood Sweat & Tears.

[@Drumcam]

Thank you John J for your kind words about our dear friend and band-mate: the late Larry DeBari. His main regret was that he had so much more music to play that would never be played...a lesson to all musicians. He is greatly missed.

[@mrfunball5204]

Who says you need a full head of hair to ROCK ?!

[@073407]

Que espectáculo!!! Tremendo!!! Sonidos, gestos, humor...UFF!!!

[@sauquoit13456]

Happy Birthday Lew Soloff; born on this date in 1944. {Feb. 20th}

[@billkalivas9750]

❤

[@licksnkicks]

Did you know Rob Piltch? He was a guitar player with BS&T. Larrys playing somehow reminds me of Eddie Van Halen. I .don't know how I happened on this vid but I'm sure glad I did. His playing has really impacted my guitar playing. All I can say is I'm dazzled by his playing. His sound is absolutely impeccable. Long may Larry rest in peace.

[@licksnkicks]

I got to tell it like it is. Larry ranks up there with Eddie Van Hale in his very own style. This guy just blows my mind! Listen to how precise he is. His technique is flawless!

[@sel918]

como suena increible que bueno poder verlos por aca gracias que gusto para tocar y que musicos

[@jeffreyhendershott4179]

Damn! Larry DeBari!

[@Laszlo58100]

One of my favorite band.

[@XxBuCNaStYxX13]

These guys go all the way back, and they'll always be all the way up on their stuff! Excellent!

[@waldemarvelasco4081]

B h. Magistral musicos e cancao! Greetings

[@lclaughton]

This guitar player is smoking hot!! This whole BST concert is over the top. BST Never had this kind of strong soloing in the old band. Drums and bass are TITE as are the horns! Are these old Videos all we have left to appreciate these sensational musicians? David C Thomas has only season like fine wine here! SOUND IS VERY GOOD FOR OLDER LIVE CONCERT.

[@javelin1010]

I saw DCT 3 yrs ago and he was fantastic, especially on You've made me so very happy. Memories.

[@licksnkicks]

What an amazing guitar player. Larry Debari. My god no one claps for him. He's incredible.

[@allanconner]

Great musicianship and great vocals and arraingement

[@jeunnackorda]

DCT the best rock singer ever BS&T greatest hits !

[@Tarkus1978]

Demostrando que la calidad no tiene edad. Excelente video para recordar! Gracias!

[@clydeb7713]

This is WOW! FANTASTIC JAM!

[@timberwolfpowler8747]

One of the best shreds ever! This band is in a class of it's own.

[@Father_Wendigo]

I can not get over this fucking intro. Gat fuckin' damn.

[@Drumcam]

... so glad you are enjoying Larry DeBari's guitar intro, phrexus! Larry was a great guy and, as you noticed, an outstanding player! He is greatly missed by all who knew him and played with him!

[@russgordonmiamiso.fla.3296]

how bout getting rid of it and getting right to the dam song theres an idea

[@Mr.Wonderfull]

exactly spot on

[@51362879]

Worthless dick.. why cant you fast fwd if you don't like it.

[@sarahtonen4873]

BEST SONG EVER

[@avp0713]

Yes, that is the general concensus. I was influenced to play the sax and have my own band, by Fred whom my father grew up with in Parkchester Bronx. BST actually jammed in our Bronx apartment several times in approx. 1967. All that said, I do think DCT is a very talented vocalist/performer but he was the undoing of the original BST.

[@MrDigitaldork]

I gotta thank youtube for some great live performances I`ve heard since 11-11-11, like Led Zeppelin How Many More Times -live Albert Hall 1970, This is a great one, Clayton loves what he does, it really shows, Debari giving it up for Hendrix & E. Van Halen, thanks for post, please visit Polaris Project...

[@redrawredraw]

Why is it that groups (vocalists) of this era actually sound awesome live. Seriously man, I've been hitting KZbin for heaps of 60s stuff recently, and basically evry group that I know (in my limited knowledge) sounds amazing live.

[@mothorsen]

Yeah! Fantastic!

[@benbharvey]

I uesd to take my friends to see these guys every time they came to town because it was a guarantee that they would blow my friends away! Absolutely great band an I'm sad they will never be the same. One show was at the California State Fair and they mentioned that they had just played in Poland at a Jazz Festival 48 hours prior to the Fair gig... and as if that weren't enough were headed to Germany for another gig in 48 hours. Amazing that they didn't cancel the State Fair gig considering.

[@Civilizashum]

"the name of the tune that he plays after 31seconds" - Jimi Hendrix, Third Stone From the Sun.

[@Chesterton7]

So good.

[@licksnkicks]

There is really no comparing Larry to anyone. He's in a league of his own. Some of his techniques are absolutely mind blowing. Larry has really made an impact on me. You can plainly see that he plays with his heart and soul and he's not somebody just up there playing on stage. I have listened to this particular video almost daily since I found it and I am always hearing something new in the way this musician plays his guitar. Could you imagine Larry playing with Eddie V Halen.

[@Drumcam]

Nous vous remercions beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles, fils2lumiere! En fait, nous pensons que cette itération particulière de la bande aurait pu s'appeler: ". Le nouveau son de Blood Sweat & Tears mettant en vedette Larry Debari" Son Larry est unique. Il n'a jamais essayé d'imiter personne, et ça se voit. Il était aimé par tous ceux qui le connaissaient. Il est regretté par nous tous!

[@roedway932]

it's funny.. i only saw all the pictures of them on their albums.. now.. i see 'em and their old and i'm like wow.. it's also kinda funny to see all these old guys having so much fun.. haha

[@alanwatson1061]

GO LARRY!

[@51362879]

RIP Larry DeBari

[@notthatdonald1385]

My parents wouldn't let me play guitar b/c "you couldn't play it in church" - lol now. So I played trumpet and when BS&T did Woodstock they had mics on the horns I set out to build my own Lafayette amp. It's probably still in the Long Island landfill LOL.

[@imgone54321]

I saw then in 1968, and they played this was their last gig, very special band.

[@EduardoGamaGama]

Maravilhoso! sem palavras

[@jjames2161]

ok....now I feel like I really missed out.....Larry DeBari....hows come nobody told me....wow.....this entire group of artists is tight as guitar strings in the Arctic......

[@WentArt102]

Love it it just keeps getting loud and fast

[@anne-lisestangeland4893]

Braaavissimo !!! Looooove it still !

[@Drumcam]

¡Estamos muy contentos que usted notó todo esto! ¡Muchas gracias!

[@trumpistruth3687]

This is an incredibly cool song. Took me far too long to discover it.

[@Drumcam]

This concert has never been ( and, in all likelihood never will be ) made available on DVD or video tape. Thank you for your interest.

[@TheCTAOfficial]

Would like to comment that DCT let his pub company proverbially 'do one' all over some nice musicians (including some of the world's known best) when a track similar to this got a big release recently. He was a legend to me. Now he's a handpump.

[@blackandtanful]

GO DOWN GAMBLING ! by B S & T FANTASTIC!~MORE FANTASTIC!

[@Drumcam]

We are so happy that you are enjoying Larry DeBari, licksnkicks. In truth, Larry is the major reason why these videos were uploaded in the first place. Check out 3:05 to 3:14 and see a little of the FUNNY SIDE of Larry DeBari. Then at 3:28 to 3:32, his amp suddenly cuts out. He steps back out of camera view, does a FLYING DROP KICK on the amp; and it comes back on. He gets back in place and continues playing without missing a beat. From my point of view ( behind the drums ) it was AMAZING!

[@PD1972]

to the hell with this guy's light 'heavy" riffs. To the point, that is it. Theres no such a thing like too much Thomas, listen to the records and you'll see , beautiful Blood Sweat and Tears .

[@dhudsonator]

Neat to hear this newer version. So fun! Thanks for posting : )

[@claudiarute]

Fantastic...

"It's hotter than Auschwitz in here tonight." David Clayton Thomas, in Detroit, Circa 1998.

[@rodrigozuniga45]

Those were the days. Artists performed LIVE and left every ounce of their being on the stage. Nowadays nobody really does it the way these men did it. It's all dubbed, lip-synched. All of today's major "stars" do it. I remember some years ago when Beyonce, at a basketball game, came down from above. You could hear her singing even though she wasn't holding a mike. When she reached the ground she has handed one and she continued singing. There was no change in the sound whatsoever. Amazing!!

[@Father_Wendigo]

... seriously, viewers/listeners need a return of MTV's _Unplugged_ series.

[@MrDigitaldork]

Kick ass Rock and Roll, Debari kicking it Neal Schon/ Eddy van Halen/Hendrix style, Clayton nailing it like he always does, in my 45 years as the UN musicologist, let me tell`ya, Live Rock doesn`t get much better, please visit Polaris Project, they`re what this music is all about, JESUS bless`ya.....

[@EdWatts]

I saw this performed live -- twice -- with David Clayton-Thomas on guitar (He wrote the song, y'know!), but Mr. DeBari has eclipsed David's technical ability.

[@timmullens9479]

EdWatts the singer + song/writer = awesome -the player overdoes it but his skills are superb

[@13towerofpower]

GO DOWN GAMBLIN pieseň skupiny BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS, ktorej autorom bol David Clayton Thomas a ktorá v roku 1971 skončila na 32.m. ako šiesty a posledný TOP 40 hit skupiny od roku 1969.
