[@zemoe12]

Brian is stellar...best B3player I've ever seen right next to jimmy smith...he'll even say that...he's still touring and in his late 70's...nobody grooves like Brian!

[@claritydreamsleeves541]

Lee Michaels?

[@Digmen1]

Wow, I'd never really heard muchabout Brian Auger - he is a master on that Hammond

[@paulbowers5995]

You’re long overdue, my friend. Check out “Live Oblivion” for more of Brian and Alex. Killer cd. “Reinforcements” is a good one, as well. Brian is an animal on the B3.

[@krokodyl1927]

Yeah! He’s a fucking beast on the organ!! I think Les McCann and Eddie Harris performed this earlier at the Montreux Jazz Music Festival (recorded on the ‘Swiss Movement album’. Give it a listen and you won’t be disappointed). I love both versions, but much more by Les McCann and Eddie Harris. Definitely puts me in a party mood! 😄

[@larrylong4853]

Brian Auger is without a doubt on of my favorite keyboard players. I have every single record he has made. Even to this day he sounds just as amazing as he did back in the early 1960's. One thing about Brian's music is it never gets old. His music is totally timeless. This was a super version of Compared To What.

[@nelsonbriles3571]

I agree....some of the progressive jazz from the 70s sounds dated (although still good), but his sound is timeless.

[@augustalaurentbiehly3277]

Absolutely fabulous. Alex is a wonderful guy and superb singer. Great bass player.

[@axelneumann7708]

Brian Auger on hammond & voice of Alex Ligertwood, a super combination!

[@TheOrganiston9th]

Brian Auger is amazing... About 26-odd years ago I first heard one of his collections on CD and was blown away. No Leslie - fantastic...

[@PFA57]

WOW!!!! Forgot how great Brian Auger is. What a tight performance by all involved.

[@ogredad55]

OMGosh! Have I died and gone to Heaven? Brian will always be "The Man!" And watching his son Karma on drums, I know that Brian is very proud indeed! And the smoky voice of Alex Ligertwood is unique. Go get 'em, Alex!

[@Phil_4_8]

I've been listening to him since ... oh, my goodness, can it be 1970? Yep, I was a sophmore in high school and I still love Brian Auger's style.

[@thomwest1724]

I interviewed Brian back in the 70’s. I was in 7th heaven😳❤️🎼🎤🎹

[@agamhamzah2924]

Alex was make so exciting, Brian Auger and the Band was Killer Groove 🤟😻🔥

[@leftchicago]

Had the pleasure of catching Brian at the Cubby Bear Lounge across the street from Wrigley Field in Chicago about 20 years ago. Late night show, sparsely attended due to cold weather but he just killed it anyway. His son was on drums and his daughter sang. Had an opportunity to talk to them afterwards and they were super nice and down to earth. One of my great musical memories.

[@josephrussell3946]

i was honoured to meet my hero ten years ago in barcelona at jambouree i talked to him for quite a while and i discovered that not only he is the best keyboardist ever but the kindest and humble human being i´ve ever had the honour to meet thanksa brian god bless you

[@udaypatil6010]

I used to listen to Brian Auger in my late teens and in my early twenties. After almost 50 years I remembered his name out of nowhere and found all of his magic....and I'm enjoying every mesmerizing bit !

[@lenapter3272]

I saw them at the Whisky in L.A in the mid'70's The recording "Live in L.A" was it.

[@FreddySpow]

[@brunocaldari4396]

❤ eccellente eccezionale

[@guyharrison4644]

What an awesome performance.

[@PRJobTips]

I've always admired and treasured Brian Auger's music, and Alex Ligterwood's vocals, but how about son Karma Auger on drums? Man he's tight! Bass and guitar pretty awesome too.

[@aircavmedic]

He is a master. Followed him a long time, I like this version. More pop/slap bass, pedals on guitar. Saw him once. Heard studio & other live versions. Thx for posting this one, for a real big fan

[@Damonm68]

Solid good music. Alex's voice is spot on. Really enjoyed this

[@henryiswynn2756]

[@regaltip8A]

I was about 10 when my older brother bought and used to play the Marathon album by Santana......and even back at that age I thought Alex Ligertwood was amazing. Fast forward 40 or so years and I am still right

[@nickdreique]

[@vincecino44]

Wow! Gonna go see Brian Auger and Oblivion Express 4-27-19 in Buffalo,Ny at the Tralf Music Hall! I can’t wait!! Been a fan since the 60’s!

[@giannibiancocircus]

Super !!!

[@clarence6623]

This dude ain't even messing around. I mean he is thumpin' on that thang!!

[@sdog7847]

Written by Gene McDaniels Born KC MO 1935, grew up in Omaha NE. I grew up in KC now live in Omaha. I wonder how many young people today have any clue about this wonderful tune or any other type of black musical historical contributions. I love the Eddie Harris/Les McCann version. My band teacher turned us onto this stuff in late 60's. What do kids listen to today......garbage.....and their teachers are just as clueless....worship hip hop and rap.

[@rhodesdrowne2908]

Love Brian and got to meet him at an Italian jazz fest.. but I must say that Swiss Movement at Montreaux with Eddie Harris and Les Mcann was also incredible.

[@michaelbirke6050]

I also like the Eddie Harris/Les McCann version. That version is more about lyrics. This version by Brian is more about the music and groove. No, I’m sorry to say that the young people today don’t have a clue unless their parents expose them to the great music of the past.

[@blainenodes8182]

Just wanted to chime in... McCann/Harris version is just the best/ 1st version I heard in 1970, Swiss movement" recorded in June 1969,1 of all x best jazz records❗❗🎶

[@nochopie8633]

just unbelievable

[@glennsayward3294]

Saw Oblivion Express in a small club about 1976 - still brill and going strong.

[@chrismorgan7494]

My dad had Second Wind on vinyl. I used to listen to it all the time before I was 10 and had no concept of things like Jazz Fusion. Great childhood memories with Brian and Alex. In my teens, I found live at the Whiskey on double 8-track. Wore those out.

[@CarHerzO]

I'm in heaven...

Gawd what a master!

[@sonnygibson9735]

Just rediscovered Brian - heard him ages ago with The Trinity. That album was first on the stack of albums we set up to party and listen to after the gig ! Serious pocket groove man !!!

[@guymerritt4860]

I love Brian Auger's playing - world-class jazz guy. His solo stuff is incredibly lyrical, technically mind-blowing, and harmonically he's a fucking genius. And, his kid plays the shit outta the drums. Great cover! All are superb in this video - wish they were working near Lapeer, Michigan (fat chance!).

[@guymerritt4860]

+Jack Woods Never heard that.........it must be interesting, to say the least.....

[@thomwest8694]

[@garyhoffman503]

Let's me talk about those breaks! I am have special relationship with The House on this track! Glad I found it! ☺

[@Solarian-k3s]

My come of age song for Jazz and jazz rock...McCann and Harris, and a cool Scots dude...

[@montythepython7614]

Such a righteous, sweetass groove...Auger is an absolute master at building a dynamic rhythm and melodic solo....Even Winwood and Wakeman pale by comparison......more soul and taste than Lord and Emerson put together. The half step progressions..blow....me....down.

[@olafonda0625]

Monty the Python Please listen to the Les McCann and Eddie Harris composition. I believe Brian borrowed some of the mechanics of the song. The original was sang by Roberta Flack. A very dynamic song with lyrics that are always current. Gene McDaniels wrote both music and lyrics. I love this one, too. It's a great song no matter who does it.

[@edvinlaine]

Monty the Python hey, compared to what? What's wrong with you chap?

[@richardshansky3040]

The half-step modulations are written into the song. But yeah Auger really builds that tension.

I am guessing the original vocalist for Brian Auger in Oblivion Express.

Yes and the JEFF Beck Group... he actuallly recorded “Rough And Ready”.... but they went in and replaced his vocals with those of Bob Tench....
