"Pick Up The Pieces"- Alan Gorrie, Daryl Hall

[@vtownboxingfan]

You've gotta admit, we were pretty lucky to have grown up listening to AWG, EWF, Wild Cherry, Tower of Power, War, Chicago, etc.

[@imbees2]

Yesssssss. Fabulous time for music that we were exposed to. Every day.

[@oneanddone7992]

I willingly admit to that......Tower of Power....what brass...I'm from the SF Bay Area...great music mecca....underrated...Journey!

[@kimbanyc1]

I'm a native Manhattanite... First time I head this at a party I thought it was a Tower of Power new tune....

[@wernerrohr7259]

OMG a Scottish band was playing soul and funky music, best time in my live. I watched them twice live on stage and Let´s go round again was all we need for the rest of the night...😍

[@lrh411]

I grew up with this music, I seriously feel bad for anyone too young to appreciate this. This is music.

[@michaelireland7239]

[@1contemporary]

I can't get enough of Daryl's House. This is the greatest show on earth today. It has not received the recognition it deserves. One day it will. Just takes time.

[@trixscheper327]

I agree completely.

[@DaddyTre65]

If you're listening to this song, and your foot isn't tappin' and your head isn't bobbin', then you might be dead! Wow! For a dude from Scotland, Alan Gorrie (founding Average White Band member) sure does bring the FUNK! And you add Daryl Hall's amazing band to the mix, and it's a SOULFUL, funky good time!

[@markhaban5642]

+Roger Plummer I was listening, and scrolling down to read the comments. I hit yours and sure enough, foot tappin' head bobbin'. Now I have goosebumps, I guess I am alive after all. Any day you wake up above the dirt is a good day. Any day you start off with this is gonna be a great day!!

This is incredibly good. Better than any studio version. DH"s face says he thinks so too.

[@allenjones7722]

this is the most incredible live performance in a small space known to man.

[@stuartweissman7306]

not really THE most incredible...but it ties for the best with so many of the other "Live At Darryl's " performances...check out the one with Smokey Robinson...and numerous others....of course at the end of the you're expression heartfelt enthusiasm for what is totally awesome...

[@damouldo]

You are correct

Great an smiling time for me to !

[@Fav.234]

I've always loved The Average White Band but I must say this is the funkiest I've heard any band play Pick Up The Pieces. Wow !

[@HasinaiMan]

Daryl's third solo album, "Soul Alone," featured writing collaborations with Alan Gorrie. (Hall and Oates' Band and Average White Band have both included Clyde Jones on bass, Clyde even appears on later seasons of LFDH on bass and vocals), Clyde has also toured as the lead vocalist with AWB. I once saw AWB, with Clyde Jones and Alan Gorrie, they opened for Hall and Oates (with T-Bone Wolk) in San Diego @Humphrey's By The Bay, the ending jam featured both bands playing, "Pick Up The Pieces," and iirc they covered the Delfonics' "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)." A good time was had by one and all! Good Times, Baby!

[@jacquesdavis8021]

Real musicians! They killed it! Great cover.

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

Daryl smiles and grooves throughout the whole tune....the acoustics at DARYL'S HOUSE studio are phenomenal. I never, ever get tired of watching and listening to these...

[@timwalsh715]

Every time that camera pans over to Daryl - he's sporting that supremely giddy s**t eating beaming grin. How cool is that?? Just outstanding!!!

[@mhmarkuk]

Never seen Darryl lookin' more joyful!

[@drewhopkinson9610]

It's every bassists dream to have that drummer on stage with you.... absolutely incredible!

[@austinteutsch]

Just look at the constant smile on Daryl's face. Man does he love it but not as much as I do!!! AWB rocks the funk world.

[@laurelfaletra8411]

I think he's smiling because T-Bone is stuck with the guitar rhythm thing which is very hard to do

[@jimmysapien9961]

The year 1975. I'm listening to Casey Kasem and the American Top 40. I am a 13 yr old black kid in Charleston S.C. Casey introduces the next hit, "Pick up the pieces." By the Average White Band. After the song, Casey repeats the title and says all the way from Scotland, The Average White Band. I reacted: "What? Scotland. I thought these dudes were black and from the states!!"
