2024 and this song never gets old it just gets better.

@@JustOneDress That my point we all get older. That was then and this is now. At least I'm around to hear it, I know many who aren't. 🤷

[@BenLauter]

Imagine expecting somebody to sound the same after 50 years, this is a perfectly fine performance of a classic song

[@lotusbandicoot]

A fine and natural sight, you might say

[@Amtk-712]

Still sounds like the original! The enthusiasm and love goes along way with their incredible talent!

[@joetrolo7076]

I just saw Glenn Hughes recently and he blew me away. He was doing old deep purple and crushed it! But that's definitely the anomaly

[@lizzyfan1986]

It was 40 years at that time

[@aariz7331]

You can't just hate it when a couple of old guys singin their old, nostalgic old songs. Simply a vibe.

[@CharlieBrn]

Hell I became an old fan somewhere aloung the way

[@shawndoiron767]

Very conformist shit narrow minded world 🌎 people energy, there's no old music, music is art and art is never old, fucking conformist narrow minded judgements and way's of life that I reject completely,

[@jeffreys-vu6gd]

I just read pegbarr’s notes at the top and I’m stunned - how could anyone write anything negative about this???? I was 12 when King Harvest released the song in 1972 (I had a 45!) and it is a lifelong favorite. This video makes it extra special. RIP Mr. Robinson.

[@TIWICI]

I know ,right? How could anybody make derogatory remarks about this song?? I was 8 yrs. old when it came out- loved it from the first time I heard it!❤❤

[@odin5255]

I love this song. I'm young, still trying to figure out life. It's hard, but this song really brings joy to my soul. It's such a beautiful song.

[@pegbarr]

It is beautiful & joyful. Hold on to that...you will figure things out

[@trevorlahey1956]

Hard part of being young and naive is not knowing what you don’t know. Everything could seem like it’s a big deal one day but as you learn to let go and keep going 10 years will pass by and it will feel different knowing the child you once were and still are but being trapped in an aging body. Don’t let the kid inside die

[@WandaSparkes]

Watch the video of the story behind this song. From a place of sorrow cam this beautiful song of healing and joy.

[@reemclaughlin4260]

@Odin, you have great taste in music! This song is so important to my cousin and me. The best days of our lives and this was in the soundtrack. Be optimistic, be true to yourself, and be kind. Always have great music! 🙏🏼☮️

When I first came on KZbin, I had a conversation with Doc and asked him about what instrument that was playing the opening to this song. He replied back to me, "Oh, those magical notes! Those were played on a Wurlitzer electrical piano". I thought it was awesome that he answered me. RIP Doc, and thanks for this song that was part of my teen years.

[@pegbarr]

That is so cool! Thnks for sharing!

[@justinj1359]

I’m overjoyed that this was recorded and preserved for future generations! A true gem 😊

[@leetana8888]

I was in high school when the song came out, and they played it all the time on the radio. Couldn't get enough of it!! RIP Doc 💙💚💙💚💙

[@majormadmax1]

It's not how the voices sing or how the fingers strum the instruments; but how the heart goes into the song, and this one had a lot of heart in it!

[@peterstanakis4585]

whod listening in 2024? "Listening to 'Dancing in the Moonlight' by King Harvest in 2024 and still feeling the magic of this timeless classic! 🌕✨ The uplifting melody and feel-good vibes of this song never fail to brighten my day. It's amazing how a track from 1972 by King Harvest can still resonate so strongly. Let's keep dancing in the moonlight and cherishing the joy this song brings. Here's to the everlasting charm of this feel-good anthem! #DancingInTheMoonlight #KingHarvest #ClassicMusic #FeelGoodVibes #1972 #1976 #2024 🎶"

Listen to how happy he is after the song and the thanks he gives.......RIP Doc!!!!! Thanks for great song King Harvest!!!!!!

[@aunthaumv3711]

I think he sang really well for his age. 👏👏

[@richardgarcia-sm5un]

He seemed to get comfortable a few bars in really!

[@johnbethea9676]

If he sang often enough he can probably get his voice trained back to what it was. They didn't sound bad though

[@sondradupree8709]

Brilliant performance . They all sound terrific together . Brings back many memories from 1973 -75..

[@jcancook1]

I think its great to see them reminiscing old times. The performance isn't at their prime but Its the spirit of the song that moves you. Look how happy they are. its awesome!

I first heard this song in 1973 when I was staying by my cousins while my parent were on a trip. My older cousin and her friend took us to the mall and this song was playing in the car. I loved the song and now I always think of that time in 1973 when I hear this song. To this day, it is one of my favorites. Thank you for posting this.

I don't know what it is but this song makes me happy everytime I hear it.

[@PPISAFETY]

I remember the first time I ever heard this song. It was 1973, and my late brother and I had just run our Saab Sonnet sports car in a race at the Summit Point raceway. There was a party among the drivers and crews afterward, and it started to rain like cats and dogs. Absolutely nobody gave a damn and everyone just got wet and continued the party. This song was playing on someone's radio, and the girls were all dancing in the downpour. I was a young teenager and had never seen anything like this. It was a blast, and I have never forgotten it. This song takes me back to that memory, and thoughts of my big brother every time. Thanks guys.

[@davidwilliams2722]

One of the greatest songs of the rock era. What a privilege to hear it from the originals. Nothing but respect for old folks who keep on keeping on. No matter what. Live 'til you die!

[@simonpolk4774]

thank you so much for posting this video. son was born while this song playing on the radio. never got to see them play until now.

[@jomsShoots]

I would rather see and listen to a live performance like this that may not be technically 100% perfect, rather than a studio version that has been tweaked, layered, re-recorded, and subject to effects. This is genuine and perfect to me. Rest well, Doc. You did great.

[@edwardkrzynowek241]

I'm happy hearing this. I wouldn't have known there was a supposed problem if someone hadn't mentioned it. I think it sounds good! This song evokes a rare, feel good, uncomplicated celebration feeling for me. I started playing it on my phone while waiting for a ride at the grocery store back in 2018 or so. The lady who was walking said she heard it sometimes, but didn't know the name. I told her, and the name of the band. I'm saying that after all these years and all these miles, it still stops people in their tracks to ask about it. That's the definition of good. Thanks to all here!

[@Gardeninggirl1107]

I'm so glad I found this gem! I had the 45 and would play it all the time, made me a happy teen.

[@traceewold5342]

I knew Dave ( Doc) Robinson since 1998 and his wife Lauren....and this Tribute concert was the highlight of his life.... I dont think he ever smiled like that in years! He passed away probably 6 to 8 months after this!!! I think he sounded fucking awesome for someone who was very ill!! But what matters most to me is the smile he has on his face.... he so needed that!!

[@susanwilliams9136]

God love them! My Dad is 92! He may not be the same as he was when he was 60 but he is still alive and he still feels love for all his children!

[@robertfabbricatore7113]

Doc was my roommate for a year at Cornell along with another roommate who was a football and lacrosse player. I was a baseball and football player. We asked him, "Why do you want to be our roommate?" and he said, "I have got to do some serious studying and you guys won't let my weird friends come here and hang around." When this song was on Walmart commercials last year, I talked with Sherm Kelly and he said, The song is the gift that keeps on giving." Great guys, great days.

[@robertfabbricatore7113]

@@pegbarr If you want the epitome of a small world, when I went in the Army, I left my dogs Max and Bob who were also D.R.'s roomates (we called him D.R., not Doc) in the care of another Cornell student, John Stockman. One year later, John, Max and Bob got a new roommate from California named Hugh Cregg, later to be known as Huey Lewis. Max would not let Huey play the sax in the house. Huey confirmed all this when I asked him about it on his blog. Max was already famous having appeared in the September 1968 issue of Playboy featuring an article titled, "Fall Fashions on Campus."
