BREAD (1976) - The Captain & Tennille Show

BREAD perform their 1976 hit "Lost Without Your Love", live on the hit US TV series "The Captain & Tennille" Show

[@suewolfe3898]

I was in the audience for the taping of this show that night. I was in awe watching Bread perform. I was ateenager back then.

[@fancyfox3602]

Wow that's amazing amd I'm sl jealous. Unfortunately for me as a 45 year old i discovered bread. I absolutely love thier music. Now I'm 51 going on 52 and I love thier music more.

Gates, Griffin “and company”? You mean Mike Botts and Larry Knechtel? Surely Mike and Larry deserve their names on the billboard as well - they were both accomplished world class musicians both in and outside of Bread.

[@tjvanpopta]

The more i listen to todays music the more i realize how great music of the past was.

[@79SteelyMatt]

They broke up for good shortly after this-one of the greatest bands ever- Bread was every guys secret band they listened to when their buddies weren't around-I wore out greatest hits volume 1 and 2-best chill out band of all time David Gates voice is one of the best ever

[@lindahandley5267]

Loved this band and David was so special. I watched a pretty recent video of him and he looks better than ever and still sounds the same.

[@ronsharer2986]

David was a good singer but Jimmy Griffin was fabulous as well. Wish they would have put more of his songs on singles.

[@floogelhornzzz4770]

Which is amazing considering both volumes were CDs. 😁

[@jezebeljones659]

As I;ve said many times, I don't agree about Gates (though calling him a twit was taking it too far, I s'pose.) Kinda wonder if he didn't end up on the top of the pile of this amazing collection of musicians simply by virtue of his boyish looks and wholesome charm. Maybe dads thought he looked like you could trust him with your daughter, I don't know. Little girls would've swooned over him. The others looked too much like grown-up men. Anyhow, I didn't know what any of them looked like until long after the 70s ended -- I never watched "Midnight Special" or god forbid, "Captain and Tennille." I only heard them on the radio.

[@martin1966]

They actually broke up back in 1973. This was an attempted reunion (1976). D Gates and Bread (without J Griffin) continued tours and TV shows through 1979.

[@dustermaniac]

Jimmy had it all...all four guys were handsome, but Jimmy was gorgeous! He never had a bad hair day in his life and he never met a camera that didn't love him. :-) Thanks Malc, for so many great videos. I've ordered your book and can't wait to get it sometime this summer. Take care and God bless.

I kept a Bread 8 track in my car to play it for the ladies back in the day. Never heard any complaints

I agree 100%. I'd go back to the 70s and even redo the 4 years in the United States Marine Corps (73-77) and do it again......just to stay in the 70s.

@@usmc-veteran73-77 What a sacrifice. I agree, all for the 70’s. Nothing can compare to that youthful generation, but with a very different “feel” than what life has become. Time machine dreams.

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

@@robertvillarreal4525 yes the music of the 70s was great. I was in the United States Marine Corps 4 years of the 70s, from 1973 to 1977. Boy did I listen to a lot of music. Not much to do, except for partying at the local bars, which usually turned into a fight or staying around the Company Area reading and listening to music. Stay safe and greetings from Charleston, West Virginia, USA, Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant. ✌🇺🇸

[@hernandofaria2609]

FOR SURE, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARD, GREAT BREAD ! ! !

[@ethelsayson5717]

David Gates, James Griffin and the rest of bread made music so beautiful together. It's not the same without James or David.

[@thomasnmarthinussen1175]

My all time favourite Softrock band..... other worthy contenders are America, Fools Gold and Eagles.

Yeah love them too.

[@nealsausen4651]

Thomasn Marthinussen : My all time favorite Singer/Songwriters is this: PAUL SIMON DAN FOGELBERG BRULCE HORNSBY DAVID GATES! And in no set order! Oh, and by the way JIM CROCE was no slouch either!

[@paidda]

I agree, though the sound of Bread always manages to transport me back to that world where I feel I’d rather not leave, to again seize the moment that’s been presented there once before, with the music of Bread carrying through. Here’s to the seventies- !

[@milestoneman500]

Easier to lip sync back then. They were insured a perfect sounding performance. Glen Campbell shoe was live and David was on it doing a duet with Glen. Check it out!!

[@ElectricAngel181]

What a Beautiful Beautiful song 🎵 ❤

[@kenw.1112]

David Gates was simply AWESOME !

[@stevecrockett6619]

Love Bread my whole life, especially the songs James Griffin sang on (Dream Lady!) but as many 70's variety shows would do back then, I'm certain this was lip sync. I mean it's great seeing the band together and "performing" but I know the intonation on that guitar solo like the back of my hand and, while James is an excellent musician, I'm very doubtful that this was "live". Still, always good to see them on stage. There seems to be so little footage of them in concert.

[@dmlevitt]

I was so happy when they got back together and made this LP. I love the George Harrison styled guitar solo. a long time ago now.

[@kathrynwhitlatch9509]

Something about David Gates voice, it’s so clear and pure. I never get tired of hearing it.

[@ngojy7743]

Malc2311 I subscribed because of your vidz that it is all "Bread" I love them..and thank you.

R.I.P. Mike Botts, Larry Knetchel, and the other member of Bread, and Roy Clark, Natilie Cole, George Burns, Roy Clark and Darryl Dragon.

[@davidcabral3805]

My Gentle Pitt Bull yes but are you serious you want to stay trapped in a time warp???

[@rman52]

@@davidcabral3805Some people never are able to have better times than they had in their youth. It's a common theme in film. Especially the greatest tv show ever, twilight zone. That's because it's genius creator Rod Serling had an overwhelming desire to return to his childhood. Watch the 16 millimeter shine. Kick the can. And the autobiographical Walking distance which even takes place in Serlings home town. So if America's greatest short story writer could dream and long for the innocence and magical time of his youth, try to understand posters on here wanting those times back too. One day, you might experience the same feelings. However, listen to the end of walking distance. The protagonist gets advice from his dad that says what you did to the poster. It referenced popcorn and cotton candy. If those were your intentions, then you gave good hearted advice.

[@fernandoferreiradossantos4808]

it's a shame Jimmy Griffin didn't have more space within this amazing band, it's very clear that he wanted and had the talent for it

[@revenantband1]

In my opinion, Jimmy was the better singer and better songwriter...but Gates had the label connection and the juice as producer to decide what became the A side of the singles, which was what got radio play. And since Bread was much more a singles band than a band that sold tons of albums, those A-sides were important. I had the chance to get to know Jimmy from opening for Bread in 1972. His solo album in 1973, Breakin' Up Is Easy on Polydor Records, was the best album Bread never made. Leland Sklar, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Mike Iseberg and Jim Horn were among the amazing musicians that played on it, and I learned a ton about songwriting from Jimmy. I miss him greatly, as well as Mike Botts and Larry Knechtel.

[@delin62]

My big sister had albums of Bread playing in her bedroom growing up. Their music touched my heart. For me, this song is their masterpiece!

[@larrywoodruff7530]

I think Dave is all that's of this band,sad,years went by way too fast.

[@banthony9154]

Miming to the record, which was extremely common on these types of shows in the 60's 70's 80's.... The Midnight Special has live performances, as did In Concert and Saturday Night Live back in the day.

[@daleharapat4984]

David Gates was just too narcissistic to know how to involve the other three. His ego killed the band....

[@rman52]

Can you site any evidence of that? Interviews, articles, etc.? For the most part Bread was the voice of Gates. Seems more like the problem was Griffin's jealousy of that situation.

[@2Uahoj]

Well I'm not sure about that. I think they stayed together for about 10 years, which is a pretty good run.

[@Kerry-uu6rk]

❤ Whenever David introduced the band members it was always full of glowing praise and admiration Jimmy was special he had lead guitar and back ups sang some of his own not many it was just the way it was I think David penned all of their top 100s - David was a gentleman when interviewed Absolute class act - but hey he was the Lead and if he hadnt been it would have been Toast not Bread ❤
