Delbert McClinton - Givin' It Up For Your Love (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

[@williammoseley17]

Worked the afternoon shift for this concert for IL State Police. Have to say we were able to see a damn good show that day. Hard to believe it's almost 40 years ago.

[@johnpastirchak1053]

"Givin' it up" was a marvelous fusion of Rock, Blues and Country. I could play it everyday. By the way, did you happen to recognize that barely post-pubescent rebel quitarist in the dark brown leather jacket? He's an up and comer musician by the name of Vince Gill.

[@thomastarwater2989]

God bless America, that IS Vince Gill!!!!!

[@KStewart-th4sk]

Thanks for the verification. I had just asked that question if it was Vince Gill.

[@anton1949]

Thanks,Cool.

[@MHB48615]

Vince Gill huh? I think he has potential.

[@tohaz]

The fact that he was snapping pics of the crowd says SO MUCH about him. He is so underappreciated.

[@kcglide]

I've seen Delbert 4 times live in concert. Damn he can rock the House!

[@celticgodsoriginal]

Good Ol' Delbert, love him to pieces....and I spy a young Vice Gill there too ;)

[@johnpastirchak1053]

Yes, that's Vince Gill swinging on guitar.

[@davidfoster7119]

I thought that was VG playing rythem guitar...very cool!

[@krisscanlon4051]

Delbert in desperate need of a smartphone so he can take proper crowd shots! Killing it and damn healthy right here

D A M N G O O D S O N G !!!!!!

[@darwingrose6976]

Just discovered Delbert , I am a new fan of his music

[@donnathibodeau6029]

Hard to pick but this song is his best.

[@shyba2011]

[@arthurbase8621]

Got too love some Delbert

[@almailhesjr.8160]

I'll take "Standing on Shaky Ground" cover of Temptations

[@lisaweaver986]

The catalog to the 70's of Music is so HUGE I saw Delbert live just starting out. He has the love Indeed!

[@thebestreason6106]

i wish i could have been around back then to enjoy these good ole times.. better people better enviroment seems like to me i hate the music nowadays and this generation is a pain.. this is the good stuff though

[@marys8489]

You can still enjoy it now! Good stuff!

[@6466david]

I saw Delbert in Stowe VT he was doing a show with Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Outlaws outside on the mountain at the Stowe Ski resort, he was wearing a cast on his foot, amazing show, my first time hearing his amazing music, love the man!!

[@julieboehm8062]

Amazing song....I listen to it over and over every day...love seeing the band jammin to it....makes u just get up and dance

[@cindyworkman469]

now that's talent!

[@artvandelay8090]

Is that Vince Gill in the leather jacket playing the Telecaster in the background there? Son-of-a-gun, I think it is!

[@2bigbufords]

yea, what the heck?

[@mikewaddell7340]

And not a half bad backup singer!

[@wfbjwb1963]

Delbert is bad to the bone.Not just for yall but for any age group.He may be the best rocker of all time,yes,even better than Chuck Berry,Litlle Richard,and yes even Jerry Lee .Hes good and has been for awhile

[@wthjrtx1]

Ft Worth just rocked ya enough...Mr. McClinton did it....

[@robw1275]

All sit needed was Bonnie Bramlett

[@Mari-B]

Awesome! I saw Vince Gill in there too!

[@AnnieRegister]

[@robb1761]

Fantastic talent

[@1bullet007]

Go baby go----need more Cowbell !!

[@dickbuelow8968]

Great singer and group,,thanks

[@margieguilfordwoman]

Perry! Thanks, a fav of mine....

[@lisaweaver986]

Delbert never went far into the music industry. You push on brother!!!

[@KStewart-th4sk]

I don't think he got the accolades he should have but PBS had a performance of Delbert on just last year or 2 years ago maybe (2023 now). I forget what year it was because sometimes they will have a performance that they have shown before. Delbert was much older but put on a great show. He didn't perform some i would liked to have heard---"Old Weakness (Coming On Strong)" for one.

[@danayeazle7816]

Definitely gonna need more cow bell!

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

THAT'S SOME TUFF STUFF MAN

[@carlwilliams2214]

Yes, I just saw it myself!!

[@dickbuelow8968]

Great song to come back to

[@lindamugford5507]

Oh yesssssssss, love him

[@MrScottmoad]

Looked like the whole band was having a great time.

[@pattyfromtoledo]

so cool!

[@JavierGonzalez-oe1qq]

That song brings back good memories of listening to Casey Kasem's Top 40 back in 1980 Right on Delbert...comeback hit for him I believe...comin' up...Ringo Starr, Procul Harum, and a Grateful Dead classic

[@barronrugge]

Linda part of the Laurel Canyon music scene, even Steve Martin back in the '60s!

[@jerryferko8309]

u hit it right on the head , donna …… as a live performance , WOW !

[@mopbarker7974]

I'll play that Cowbell for u Delbert!love u...

[@Usurped]

Groovy baby

[@javiersos9848]

[@mariardz.6382]

no sabía quiénes la tocaban ... Ty amigo :o)

[@kevinbarton1661]

This group sang when we linked arms and prayed and sang together . & talked on phones that had cords . And we looked each other in the eyes and expressed love

[@johnthonig8832]

[@stephengaydos4346]

Vince Gill and Paul Franklin on Imus show this morning.

[@kevinbarton1661]

Joy is the result

[@IanSteele]

yep he still uses that tele :)

[@michaelberes6660]

I need more cowbell!

[@gaargy1]

needs more cow bell

[@stephengaydos4346]

Is that Vince Gill? yes indeed.

[@GaryOwen-x4z]

Ha, I just noticed.. that looks like Vince Gill playing the white telecaster.

[@jaytea42]

Larry Lang on Bass, Joe Sublett on Sax

[@brucenewlin6208]

Thanks, I thought that might be Joe.

[@kevinbarton1661]

Young Vince Gill on guitar in the leather jacket

[@СергейМакаров-ю1й]

Фантастика!

[@dennisleo8120]

Should've extended the sax solo it was getting interesting!

[@jpb1231000]

Is that Vince Gill on the TELE???

[@johnpastirchak1053]

Yes

[@nicklovell2348]

This is great. I guess i am biased, but i only know this recording from what Tina Turner did with it. The Queen makes songs her own...like John Fogerty's famed River Boat Queen that she has been rolling on since 1971. This is great though.... Really

[@wendellstafford8447]

The song John Fogerty wrote is called Proud Mary.

[@nicklovell2348]

@@wendellstafford8447 thanks

[@marys8489]

Can anyone name all of the musicians here? Mainly the backup singers...I know Delbert but the only backup I recognize is Vince Gill.

[@johnhutchison9929]

I am pretty sure the man in the cape with the sunglasses is Jerry Lynn Williams He was the songwriter

[@petehanratty950]

is that Vince Gill in the leather jacket?

[@marys8489]

Delbert is sweating and Vince is wearing a coat??? Must be a new one :)

[@deluff]

Yo guys my name is Delbert seriously

[@JohnFoley-vc8gy]

Hi

[@patriciameadows9721]

Is that Vince Gill playing guitar?

[@johnpastirchak1053]

Yes.

[@mrsatire9475]

This song needs more cowbell.

[@waynealderesq4416]

More cowbell

[@calforman]

Sounds Just like the J. Geils Band

[@easongt]

Am I the only one that thinks this song needs a little more cowbell?

[@abronxdude]

I'm offering Delbert free lessons on how to play a cowbell.

[@KStewart-th4sk]

Get your walking and chewing gum at the same time down first before thinking of offering free lessons on anything.

[@derekgunn1914]

Is that a joke or are you serious with that comment... ( He seemed right on the money with the best and his little variations and stuff, no?)

[@angeloarimborgo6352]

@@derekgunn1914 No insult intended. His tempo is good. It’s just that he’s holding the cowbell backwards. The opening should be facing the audience so you can hear it. It’s a common mistake a lot of singers and non-percussionists make. Other than that, the guy is awesome.

[@brucenewlin6208]

He's been doing it his own way for 60 years, he gave harmonica lessons to John Lennon, your comment is like you would criticize Willie Nelson for having a hole in his guitar because it diminishes the quality of the sound. In other words, you're presenting yourself as the village idiot with your comment.

[@B__C]

Needs more cowbell.

[@123xconnieb]

I was shocked when I discovered that the guy who sang this was not black.

[@julieboehm8062]

Same!!!

[@russellrosario2517]

More cowbell
