Drift Away | Best Cover Performance | Dobie Gray | Sing It Live

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

Thank you so much for the amazing comments. It was an absolute pleasure to play woth these guys. How good are they? I love what is coming out of this studio.

[@victorb6293]

You nailed those vocals Matty - great job...and the guitar lead was pretty awesome as well. Cheers.

[@rickdu1]

Matty, your voice was the perfect choice for both this track and “Walking in Memphis”. And that’s the thing about Darren, he’s a model producer. He not only knows where to find the best players and vocalists for a song, he is a master on the mixing board. There is nothing comparable on KZbin in my opinion. Keep the music playing!

[@brianfoster7486]

Holy sh** .... your vocal is perfect!

[@JReb71]

Great voice and yes these guys are incredibly talented

[@carmenwerning414]

Just one of my favorites! Vocals are amazing and so are the instruments! You guys are awesome!

[@glennjelich3174]

When a cover of a classic transports you back in time to the era of the original and gives you chills, it does the song justice.......you guys certainly achieved this. Brilliant 👏

[@gsmusicentertainment7106]

Absolutely brilliant 🎙️🎹🙏

[@nbahoopsfan32]

Perfectly stated. What vocals! Appreciating the nuance & singing from guitarist Stefan Hauk in not only this but other material. Exceptional! Where's Nikki?

[@bryantwalley]

I went back to those days. Yes indeed.

[@lindabergman3127]

Couldn’t agree more ❤👏👏👏👏

[@H3minusH2]

Me too❤️✌🏻🇺🇸

[@greyman003]

The combination of lead and backing vocal was excellent.

[@unclefrank4274]

Skye is a priceless gem

[@geoffsayshello318]

Absolutely is 👏 👏 👏

[@ACOUSTIC_4LOVE]

I want to thank every member in this Band for reviving an old guy and making me feel like a 16 year old kid again! Every one of you in the Band were probably not born when this Song hit the Airwaves but this is the best cover of this song I have had the pleasure to enjoy 😎God Bless. Your great. Best in all things

[@ronkeyes659]

Without a doubt, this is a 6-star performance by SingIt Live. Mixed to perfection, the result is exquisite, as any fan of this group would agree! It's rhythm and rhyme and harmony, so let's all play it again 'cause we wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away. 🎶

[@debbiea7962]

Matty's voice is perfect for this song! Great job with everyone!

[@BriteEyzz]

Darren it never ceases to amaze how you're able to fit all that talent into such limited space & create such HUGE sound! Keep em coming...the audience is listening 😎👍🎶🎵🎶🎵

[@patriciagrisham5938]

When you get goose bumps from your head to your toes (that last long after the performance has ended), you know this exceptional group of musicians/singers are talented beyond belief. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@timjwilkes3019]

I literally stood up and gave that a standing ovation. Magnificent vocals, harmonies and musicianship across the board. Absolutely loved it.

[@grahamlitherland7830]

I continue to come back to Sing it Live they are the ultimate professionals and Darren is superb in picking artists for each and every song, I have not been disappointed once. As a 73 year old with a keen ear and a diverse appreciation of music from the 60's to 80's music you know good covers, these guys along with Post Modern Jukebox are a must listen to for sheer talent.

[@1973DamianS]

I can't be the only one who didn't expect that voice! Magnificent work!!

[@jg2864]

That Lead Guitar Player is Phenomenal !!! great job !!!

[@tecknolt2695]

Australia's best ...

[@lisaerhard9817]

The guitars! The voices! The band!

[@udo331]

Ach wie wunderbar , und wieder ist Freitag Nacht vollkommen 💙. Jede Woche wartet man wieder nur auf EUCH 💓💝 Es ist einfach wie Magic was Ihr Bescherd 🍀💙💌👍 Danke an Zkye, Stefan und natürlich an das komplette SingitLive Team für diese wunderschönen Momente 😍 Ich genieße Es ohne Ende! Vielen Dank für und LIEBE GRÜßE AUS 🇩🇪💌

[@victorb6293]

Magnificent. SIL, you captured the soulfulness of this classic brilliantly - in particular Matty and Zkye's vocals...wow! Well done everyone - you delivered another stellar performance.

[@annettecinquemanifalbo17]

One of my favorite songs when I was in high school on the mid 70's... My friends and I would go cruising and turn it up and all sing along loudly!!!! Great great great!! You guys and gals make my Friday nights special, I look forward to them every weekend! ♥️

[@mikehansen2255]

Where is the "love" button here? Wonderful, performing this all time classic.

[@R.B.891]

Beautiful. And what a voice Matty Rogers has!

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

Wow! Everything is spot on. Great lead vocal and harmonies. Instruments, guitar is great, it's all awesome! Love it! Great job ya'all!

[@antonnym214]

You do the Dobie Gray version justice, and believe me, that is high praise. Matty's lead is incredible, and Zkye is the perfect compliment to that. Zkye, you are awesome; your harmonies are spot on, and you have a gift of knowing exactly how much amplitude to use. Very impressive! This is one of the six songs I would have to have on a deserted island. Well done!

[@MattyFitt]

Just so god damm smooth. It's sliding off my screen on KZbin. That was definitely a hard day's recording along with "Walking in Memphis". At least Matty had the fan front and centre. Another piece of education from Darren, a song I knew but not the artist. Always makes me look up the original and enjoy their other releases. Hang on, I saw Harley move early on!!! World first. I think he was getting ready for clapping his paws along with Dad later on! Even something as simple as a quick outro for some claps is so good. I could watch 4 minutes of any of the crew clapping and you know Darren would have it mixed to a T. This song speaks for itself in its goodness. Well done yet again, from the true Matty x

[@udo331]

👏👏👏🇩🇪👍💙

[@derekoakes3278]

Now that's Aussie Bloody Talent there ! Proud of you guys

[@josephtecumsehwaterspoon.]

You made me cry. Dobie would be proud.

[@milom.2057]

What a voice. Just right for this song. Excellent!

[@Outlawscomin]

To be truthful I clicked on this video because of the lady, but I'm glad I did because that was one heckuva cover performance of one of my all time favorite songs. Excellent job! All six of you!👏👏👏👍

[@BARNEY431]

Amazing vocals great song superb 🎤🎸👍

[@guppyfamily5533]

Again you have delivered a classic song and paying homage to the original with sensitivity, style and grace.

[@jonathansmith3742]

Thanks for the Joy you've given me.

[@casterman2]

The talent is amazing. As a studio nerd I’m just blown away by the massive quality and colors coming out of that room! Ear candy!!

[@Riley63]

I have been searching for a good, full band version of this song for years… FINALLY!

[@SCWgreg]

WOW ❤!!! Matty and Stefan crushed it on this one. Well… all of you did. Thank you Darren and everyone with Singit Live.

[@andrelabranche4060]

Thanks everyone !!! Great team work as always!!! The more i get to see Zkye.... Makes me want to drift away whith her!!!🤣🥰

[@dtkincaid]

Wow! Blown away again by the musicianship and production/mixing. Sounds amazing!

[@rickdaystar477]

When I saw the title I knew this was going to be better than a " cover". A perfectly dialed in performance with awesome people making it happen! Beautiful 👍😎

[@blueyonder1233]

Woohoo! This week's song for high rotation play has arrived & it's a ripper! 👏

[@sandmantk4901]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Wow I was in a trance just speechless. Thank you so much. This whole nation needed that. I need to play this again. For my nieghbors. thank you

[@donnier3284]

I just scrolled across this. Wow, I'm soooo glad I did!!! Thanks for your great music!!!

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

I’m going to call it battle of the bands each week…..Hindley Street vs Sing It Live….Winner again this week Sing It Live! Two weeks in a row

[@chaschampion777]

HSCC offers Singit Live no competition whatsoever...

[@scottharvey7640]

No comparison……Singitlive way way way better 👍😁

[@scottharvey2009]

No comparison whatsoever……….Singitlive way way better 😁👊

[@samstrav]

The song choice for starters, the others have lost the plot in that department. I still look forward to the weekly uploads from both, however, Singitlive are really doing it much better.

[@ageingviking5587]

@@bobjohnson62 ABSOLUTELY !

[@sapelesteve]

WOW! That was an over the top off the charts amazing rendition of that classic tune SIL! 👍👍👏👏🎸🎸🎤🎤

[@ronneyreed1829]

Dobie watches down from heaven with a biiiiiig smile. Fantastic cover.

[@marklowe7431]

Smashed the crap out of it. Brilliant. Vocals couldn't be better.

[@alistairandrews7087]

Every week i take a deep breath and think is today the day i see you've covered Audioslaves like a stone

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

That would be epic :)

[@coycarlson4979]

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH - SIMPLY FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE 🎸🥁🎹🎤👍✌️🙂

[@valf.4589]

Another great rendition of the band. Thank you. I am singing with the band as I sit here in Toronto on another snowy day.

[@sandorjablonkay5478]

Ohhh...man, my first time hearing this cover/version. So good, I'm so happy to find this. So much more for me to discover now. I'm diving in! These guys are so cool.

[@johnoakes6772]

Absolutely brilliant.....PERFECT. ..the way it was meant to sound. Proudly accomplished by highly talented musicians and singers.

[@BillRoberts242]

Makes me feel 25 years old again. Brilliant!

[@charlesknox8721]

Ah my soul has been freed, and I am lost in the song. great work, my friends!

[@ieone800]

Another great song selection and performance. Your mixing and the cleanliness you achieve in production is truly awesome. Excellent work. 👋👍

[@markhisted3320]

Hit the like button after 5 seconds …. Truely magnificent rendition

[@leomoonen2827]

The best cover i have ever heard. Dobie 2.0

[@andyd9900]

Dobie would be proud. Well done taking me back.

[@fredmcg9442]

This was absolutely awesome! You keep raising the bar every week and we are all the beneficiaries. Thank you so much!

[@tokugawa12able]

Stefan owns the notes and gives them to us with class. The whole presentation is beyond exceptional. But those PRSs!!!! Coming from a dyed in the wool since the 1960’s Fender player those things SPEAK to me - especially in the hands of these fine musicians.

[@terryjohinke8065]

Saw Stefan only yesterday= he told me no-one ever taught him. Amazing natural talent.

[@wfoguy]

Very nice, people. That's not a common song that you hear covered even though it was very popular when 1st released. Have a good weekend . You did your job. :)

[@charlesknox8721]

Zkye is such an amazing professional. A super talent on her own, takes the back seat to let others shine. Her generosity and love for music brings polish to the final product.

[@airshots5556]

Everyone is so talented and sounds great! On another note, I'm a big fan of Nikki, hoping she will make an appearance soon.

[@monkeyman41333]

Yes, no disrespect to anyone, but I miss Nikki.

[@horsthamb]

​@@monkeyman41333 ooh - I do too !!!

[@marcoscarraro6274]

Simplesmente sensacional Parabéns 🎸🎶🎵

[@russmckenna5430]

Such a beautiful rendition and everyone was spot on. Killer vocal by Matty and the Mighty Hauk produced the right answer lines to perfection.

[@mikehansen2255]

Wonderful choice for the cover, love this song so much. Doobie Brothers, Isley Brothers and also Smokey Robinson produced so many juwels for music history.

[@buzzshytyear3358]

I dont want to use the word cover because you guys always manage to make it your own! Love it and keep the great tunes coming! Thanks everyone!

[@DrewAndrewCaswell]

Wow... I drifted away into my memories. Another great performance 😁

[@rtmow]

Keeping his music alive. That’s an honor.

[@gregcuttill6602]

This was one of my favorite tunes when I was growing up. Well done by all!

[@johnwashingtoncountyor4954]

A drift back in time to the early 70's. Well done.

[@brentevans6923]

Wow ‼️

[@reneisip4428]

I so much appreciate you guys performing every weekend. This again was so good. Darren you have set the bar so high and expectations every weekend is high but you keep bringing in unbelievably great talent.

[@SongmanKK]

Authentic, sounds pure country. Great guitar tones also.

[@futonfave]

So sweet. Faultless. Good voice tone choice on lead vocalist and background vocals.

[@petelovett7175]

Stunning - a heartfelt version of a beautiful song - it's one of my all-time favourites, and once again you guys nailed it perfectly - thank you ❣️

[@robrobuck932]

Love you guys, great job everybody.

[@YBNegative]

After a rediculous day I come home to this, and ya'll brought me to tears in the best possible way! Soulful, Sweet and Simple. Perfect! You all are so talented individually, and damn! that brother can sing! Thank you!

[@MB-wk5lc]

I sometimes watch your videos and think I would love to hear you in person at a concert. I can imagine sitting there in the audience mesmerised by your music, your voices and sharing it with other people. You are one of the best things about KZbin - thank you x

[@andrewfudge2341]

Fantastic rendition of one of my favorite songs. Perfect for Matty's voice. I especially loved being able to hear Damien's bass during the hand clap section :) Nice that Stefan let Matty rip that little solo too! As others have said, you perfectly captured the vibe of the Dobie Gray version.

[@sashanddonna]

Looks like Stefan also let Matty use his PRS guitar too!

[@MattyFitt]

@@sashanddonna Hopefully he didn't drop it like Stefan has a habit of doing! 🤣

[@adiohead]

This is the song I want played at my funeral

[@frogpondproduction]

Another Saturday morning pure classic and Matt nails it! Perfection at its best yet again! Well done everyone!

[@alfiewashere.695]

I'd love to be at a Barossa Valley winery with these guys playing on a lazy, sunny Sunday arvo. What an unbelievably talented group of musicians.

[@StrikeTheRoot]

Literally one of my favorite songs! Amazing!

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Excellent cover. Great lead vocal, great guitar work. The lady especially brought a lot to the table.

[@peeringatu]

I just keep coming back again & again to this. Wonderful .

[@DJEK44]

Perfect vocal choices. Always love Stefans guitar and feel for the song.

[@DarinNederhoff]

This was perfection. Beyond that, I have no words.

[@waynefoulk6980]

This cover takes me back to a time in my life that was awesome. One of my favorites from back in the day. Perfect choice and a perfect rendition. Great lead vocals and super tight back ups. When the beat clapping started it sent chills up my back. Awesome job by the whole gang.

The clapping was just perfect
