I got to see War play back in November 2022. Great show. When they played this song, halfway through I noticed I was crying. I've loved this band since 1973 when I was "forced" to go to their concert. SOOOOO glad I had to go! (forced by parents who were somewhat cool at the time! :) )

[@rosewg]

Forced? War has been my favorite since 73 too

[@elw7658]

Me too.🙋🏽😎💜👏🏽

Real music, no Computers, AI....🤨🤷🏽💜😎😍

Greatest harmonica solo on a rock recording ...PERIOD ! THIS TUNE SMOKES ! AND THE VIDEO IS OUTSTANDING !

[@MrTPain]

Greatest harmonica period.

[@cynthiajahi2339]

This song was introduced to me in 1973 by my oldest brother. I danced and performed it in 1974 at the Baltimore City Fair. I love seeing these dancers and Gypsies dancing. Sometimes I feel like my life has been like a gypsy because I have done my share of moving about. I love the adventure, of course I love to be settled at times too. Great video! Freedom isn't free but so worth it!

[@ClydeElliott-yh4vn]

Yes I just read the last review.. and I to have traveled "the road less traveled"..also😅 met (me) one the dancer strikingly beautiful .. I let her know😮 too.. great vibe war"😊 far out"

[@jamesbondjr.85]

I'm from Baltimore too although I was in high school in Brooklyn, N.Y. when this song/album wasreleased. The whole album is great. I especially love "Gypsy Man," "Deliver the Word" and "Me and Baby Brother."

[@agustoendo7471]

In those countries you can be so happy with very little, but You can be so unhappy with so much if You dob't have a conscience. But I guess this happen everywhere when You are rich.

[@pedrobedoy9574]

my mom's last name is Wanderer , German ,my dad's last name is Bedoi, Wanderers of the desert 😂😢😮to keep their culture correct they avoid mixing with city folk . Only to trade for goods 😂😢

[@fjacks1189]

Everyone thought Low Rider by War was the bomb. Wrong! It was this Track ========Gypsy Man. 7/1/2024 and it Still hits the soul.😊

[@rubencruz5062]

I Agree Love this Jam They have so many great Tunes Another is Heart Beat

[@DuckDodgers69]

It's ALL GOOD !!!

[@marcussorlie5533]

This live is amazing

[@Snakehad95]

Low Rider is still much better. But you like this more.

[@uVueD2b]

...but it has to be this original album version - not the shortened single version.

[@Steven-t9s]

That harmonica solo at the end is just mind blowing.

[@EinsteinKnowedIt]

Lee Oskar was influenced by Little Walter😊

11 minutes of pure musical groove and funk. You know it when your body is rocking, feet are tapping in time to the music and ya wanna get up and move like the dancers in the video. Lee Oskar is a gift to us all.

[@honeyandthebee245]

This has to be the best made music video I have ever seen! Set to one of the best songs ever! I applaud you!!

[@valerietomecek6085]

I lived for this song! ❤ thanks for making me the WOMAN I AM TODAY ❤❤

[@colonelangus3157]

I was 11 when this came out, I thought it was dam amazingly cool. Here in 2022 still holds true.

[@Realmusiclover1957]

Real music. I remember when it came out. Better days than today.

[@antonioeustaquiolara]

[@RickeyPeoples]

They are just no words that harmonica and the video I am sitting here listening to this getting chills 68 years old and I love this song even more now

[@johnnypool2206]

One of my best roller-skating songs ever! Lee Oskar was definitely on a mission with that harmonica solo. Just simply awesome and tantilizing. He is making it talk. Shish!!!!!

[@johnscoone9310]

This is the most incredible music video I have ever seen. The music, the people, the costumes, the culture, the rugged beauty of the landscape. Why do there have to be wars? Why can't we love each other and appreaciate each other for who we are? That's how it should be.

[@pamelaboyd6509]

Because the devil is all about division. We Can start by respecting each other and appreciate all our differences Cause it is a relief to boredom

[@hildat8]

Why Can’t We Be Friends? 🤔

[@eltonjohnson1724]

This is the first time I have heard the extended version of this song! It rocks! I am trying to figure out what country is featured in the video. My guess is India. They definitely have some beautiful women.

[@grahamsouter5820]

I saw WAR live at the Rainbow in north London early seventies,,,,, truly amazing..... Goose bumps still......❤

[@marcussorlie5533]

One of the greatest songs I've ever seen in concert. Harmonica turned up on 11. It reverberates your soul. Lee Oskar written by the man who also makes premium harmonicas.

[@jeffreychandler8666]

I have to say a phenomenal group who introduced me to unique directions in music, and beautiful indigenous people with a rich and vibrant culture!

[@davidpancerev9658]

Deliver the word album 1973. Great one.

[@FilmFlam]

Super kudos to the producers, director, camera operators, editors, etc who put this together. I would love to see a documentary on how they made this. Why are there no credits?

[@antonislambidis3845]

Amazing !

[@mchelewashington2024]

I grew up on this music in the 70,'s always loved the nomads and gypsies . Great song for them

[@keithnickerson2606]

This was my Highway Jam. On the back roads 😊❤

[@ToddBonn-k8v]

I remember this song when dad worked at WABD across from the main gate at Ft. Campbell during the Vietnam War. There was a head shop next door called the Square World.

[@Mateokow]

It is a shame that on many streaming platforms this longer version is not even offered.

[@uVueD2b]

Came here to verify 😠 I listened to DTW with the full album version of this on Spotify from time to time. Now that I want to add it to a playlist, the album replaced it with the 5 minute single version. Don't understand why...

[@brendaberrones2504]

[@fredaholman9421]

The timing in this video was amazing....every move was on time to the beat. This I noticed off top because I was a dancer at one time..and being in a band...timing is everything

[@cozyhollow]

Thanks for the compliment; and yes, you are right, for a video to be effective, both the visuals and the music have to be in-sync.

[@lesliehilesgardener6959]

I remember this when young....always have loved soul music gypsies traveled through our small town. Mom said stay away...I didn't listen ...smiling 😂😂😂😂😂

[@rawhyde6409]

[@claudecote7311]

[@williamgraham8860]

My experience of Asia consisted of 120 degree days, ied s, snipers, and the joy of burning oil and open sewage. Not to forget the delightful animal friends that were not just venomous, they could kill you within minutes. I am not complaining. I would not trade that experience for anything. I never got to see the fabulous things portrayed in this video. What a fantastic pairing of this music and the video.

[@pauleypavillion6088]

For some odd reason, I associate this music to an island in the carribbean about to be hit by a hurricane. A tropical island scene would also suffice with winds increasing speeds when hurricane comes closer to the island.
