Booker T & the MGs LIVE - "Green Onions" - stereo

[@tv2109]

this has to be in the top 5 of the greatest songs ever written

[@niranjanpaul2176]

Todd Victorson ya I totally second you on that

[@johnsunde4339]

Just since '62?

[@deloisholland3189]

Time is tight an green onions best instrumentals songs ❤️ them

[@bostonchik1000]

Time is tight!!

[@apb3440]

Have had it as my phone ringtone for 20 years now, magnificent tune.

[@staxmantim]

Al Jackson, Jr. was the greatest drummer to ever walk the earth. After his passing, Booker, Duck, & Cropper had Willie Hall who is so technically perfect, almost machine like & Jackson’s protégée. They played with the powerhouse and versatile Anton Figg and most often played with Steve Potts, whose resume speaks for itself, but also happens to be Al Jackson’s cousin. Just have to pay big respect to Danny Gottlieb here!

[@henrywhenryw812]

Bernard puddie along with him

[@goconnell3740]

Real musicians playing real instruments; there's nothing to dislike about this!

[@steviesugano6355]

A Masterpiece. I cherish Booker T & his Team.

[@marshabonforte6963]

Duck Dunn is one of the greatest. As a bassist myself I can tell you, while it sounds simple, it’s incredibly difficult to do what he does. The Spirit, The Drive, The Love, The Verve, all come through.

[@richardmontalbano3603]

Best instrumental of all time. So much talent.

[@joeltudor521966]

What a Masterpiece!!! And Donald "Duck" Dunn, my Hero!

[@pamelapeterson7803]

I thought it looked a lot like the “Blues Brothers “

[@cheese033]

If I would have a background tune in my life,Green Onions would be the one

[@alisonwentworth9372]

I still can't get enough of this song....listening to it on REPEAT!

[@alisonwentworth9372]

That's my girl...you go girl!

[@thesanfordmethod1905]

Probably my fav song of all time.

[@dickyvandijk9313]

I cant sit stil by this rythm❤

[@woodywagner7361]

Absolutely Timeless. One of the tunes we'd play to pump us up while heading into a firefight / combat.

[@totemdiamond6447]

Thank you for your service !

[@margueritaferdinand3426]

I'm addicted to Green Onions by Booker T. Got it on my ringtone on iPhone lol

[@ragnarrognlien5416]

O my, so it is!!! This is my signature tune. I told my daughter that this is what is to be played in my funeral. I want to meet eternity with Green Onions! Everytime I babysit for my granddaughter I play Green Onions for her:-)

[@emike1211]

Booker T - Proud son of Indiana University and an all around great guy.

[@richardmorse1159]

One of the top songs of all time

[@JA-no1qk]

That Hammond is so good!!!! That tone is unbeatable

[@ergbudster3333]

Here's to the Duck. May he lay down that killer back beat in the great beyond for ever more. RIP.

[@glendeloid9210]

Best version I've ever heard. Wonder why I didn't find this sooner. Thanks!

[@Bayle13]

+Glen DeLoid every version i hear is the best version ive ever heard

[@alanferlet5201]

The absolute greatest single instrumental of all time…even after all the decades…😅

[@marksanders1156]

Reminds me of the early '60s I had five aunts and when they babysat me we dance to this and I heard this around them along with the Beatles and other classics had to share😮

[@deloresboudreaux2755]

This Song was our Anthem Skating in the 1960’s , love it.

[@tv2109]

one of the best songs I've ever heard

[@New_Zealand_Music]

Awesome song. Love that the (real), extended version turned up. They just kept jamming. A band that truly, knows the power of silence. 🙂

[@tonybruce4411]

your right all I can say is brilliant

[@michaelpetersonjr]

I could never get tired of this 1962 classic from Booker T. & the MG's! I play it all the time, nonstop. But judging by this live concert, this has to be from the late 1980's to the early 1990's?

[@jamesnabower6751]

So much great music from this. But this is one of my favorites love Booker t & the mg's Love Steve cropper

[@luissantiago1832]

[@mikewinkelman7015]

One of the.greatest songs ever.

[@vernwallen4246]

Kick-butt instrumental,kick-butt musicians .🗽👍💕

[@Tickbryan]

A little trivia. Booker T Jones played Green Onions on a Hammond M-3 on the original recording that we all came to know and love. Most people think it was a Hammond B-3.

[@emike1211]

Well I am glad that has been finally cleared up! :-)

[@SuburbanDon]

I read an interview that it was a C3 that he still owns.

[@Tickbryan]

Stax Museum owns the M-3 he played on Green Onions. It is on display encased in an acrylic box in the studio.

[@niranjanpaul2176]

Tick Bryan ok

[@hanleyguy7967]

I luv Green Onions

[@robjkenyon]

As the Blues Brothers said you've got your Bach and your Beethoven and you've got your Booker T and the MGs. Steve Cropper is the greatest guitarist ever.

[@anthonyhammond5150]

This band is tight. Booker T is a Legend. Reminds me of back home with catfish and green onions on the grill. I need to know, is that Mac Davis on the drums??? Sure does look like him.

[@sameervij1794]

Awesome and I am able to play the drum part

[@niranjanpaul2176]

crisp hard-hitting grinding classy

[@CookieMonster-gk9re]

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove

[@1pitchblack]

Mother cooking fish on a Friday night! The good old days!

[@richardcline1337]

STAX Records put out some of the best music ever! Booker T. and his group did most of the background for their records and people loved the STAX sound. Sadly, the last management, along with Isaac Hayes' problems finally shut the doors on this great studio for good. The management just tried to expand the company far beyond it's capabilities and forgot the beginnings that made it what it was. I don't fully blame the demise of STAX on Hayes but he played a major part in the closing of the studio.

CRUZZZZZZZZINNNNNNNNNNNNNN MUSIC

[@Wyndhamlane]

Brilliant. This is from a time when people had sufficient attention span to appreciate an “instrumental”. It was also a time when music was produced by real bands rather than pimped-up, auto-tuned children.

[@Sandra-bq1ii]

Yeah! And To Think... 💚💚Green Onions WaS Never Meant tO Be An Instrumental Arrangement! 👼👼

[@Billybike1]

I'd like to know who the lead guitar player was bc I looked it up and if this was done in 73-75 it was Bobby Manuel Awsm Guitar Solo!! Gr8 Post, Thanks!! ;-)

[@alanferlet5201]

Steve Cropper

[@denniswolf3616]
