Stone The Crows: In Concert Beat Workshop

[@stephengoldsmith1]

Why at the age of 60 years old and with a great love of the blues, have I only just come across this group. Outstanding.

[@GWard-hz5wj]

@Stephen Goldsmith I just made a similar comment on another tune of theirs. Never heard of them til stumbled across them on YT few days ago. U would think with Peter Grant directing them he would have promoted them more. Yes same Peter Grant who managed Led Zeppelin. This band is hot. Should have been top act here in States. Sorry we missed out on them.

[@ConcertGrande]

even at 73 years old is not too late .i should have seen them in Edinburgh in 1972/73 ...just great .!!! from Brittany

I saw Maggie a few years ago alongside with Pete York, Colin Hodgkinson, Jon Lord and Miller Anderson - what a lot of fun they had that evening at the Lahnstein Blues Festival in Germany. They flashed everybody in the audience with their joy and generousity! RIP Jon Lord.

[@paullevine1813]

What Real Rock was like during the 70s . No toes stepped on & everyone in the zone . Enduring the good and terrible times they went through & never losing that edge both Les & Jimmy gave them. Sad tales to lose them both . One of rocks true legendary bands that will always stand the test of time. All great players that had it in droves & what a great time to be growing up playing music.

[@williambuchan4778]

Well Jimmy McCulloch was my classmate at Cumbernauld High School. At 14, he was quiet unassuming wee guy. He went down to London to record a single at Decca with his brother's group One In A Million. Sadly the single bombed & maybe they should have thought of another band's name! Anyway I joined the Army & next I see him on tv in Thunderclap Newman's massive one hit wonder Something in the Air (narcotics probably!). Then onto Stone the Crows & of course Wings with Macca. A great resume I think & sadly he left us & me a thrill seeing him perform & record. One in a Million he certainly was.

[@JimmyMcCullochFan]

William Buchan thanks for sharing your memories William. I’m finishing up writing Jimmy’s biography this week and will include this and any other memories of Jimmy and Jack!

[@esslar1]

After listening to this four or five times, it just gets better every time. What a wonderful group.

[@wayneblanchard97]

Seeing as there are numerous mentions for guitarist Jimmy McCulloch (later w/Paul McCartney's Wings), who replaced Les Harvey (younger brother of Alex, who had the Sensational Alex Harvey Band; electrocuted onstage) and Maggie Bell, the keyboardist is Ronnie Leahy (later with Jack Bruce in the 80s), while the rhythm section is the tremendous Colin Allen on drums (later to Focus) and Stephen Thompson (replacing James Dewar, who hit big with Robin Trower) on bass. Allen and Thompson came from John Mayall's band (the 'Blues From Laurel Canyon' album; Thompson was also on Mayall's drummer-less 'The Turning Point'. Though critically acclaimed and finding some success,, sadly this band, like so many others of the era, were unable to translate the popularity of their live shows into chart success. Bell and Allen later teamed up and worked together for many years. As was the case with so many of the best rock drummers of the era, Colin Allen was a jazzer.

So I learned that Lesley Harvey was the guitarist who started Stone the Crows. He was the brother of Alex Harvey. He sadly died from touching a microphone that wasn't grounded whilst holdnig the strings no his guitatar on stage at the Swansea Top Rank (indoor venue) on May 3 of 1972. Lesley Harvey founded the band late in 1969. I love Jimmy McCulloch's style and ability. Thanks for posting this video, which introduced me to Maggie and this great blues band.

I'm Scots, but sadly I never got to see them there, or anywhere. This is a great performance, and stands the test of time. I find it amazing how in tune Maggie Bell is -- what a singer!

[@davidpage2119]

I completely forgot about this band until I recently rediscovered them on KZbin. I can’t think of any female vocalist who compares to Maggie’s aggressive powerful clarity and vocal range! This wonderful talented lady still has it to this day. WOW! After seeing Sunset Cowboy which is a tribute to Les Harvey I can clearly see and hear her soulful outpouring of love & respect for him. Ron Leahy an excellent keyboardist really set the tone for Sunset Cowboy...wonderful song. All the different members of Stone the Crows are wonderful talented musicians. By seeing their smiles as they all do their magic you know they love what they do. Thankfully back when Stone the Crows performed live their magic was recorded on film for new generations to discover. This how all great bands live on. This is real music and this is how it’s done. I’m a Joe Bonamassa fan and it would be quite interesting to see him and Maggie together on stage. Two excellent blues masters a generation apart joining forces for the common good for all blues lovers. OH YEAH! God bless you Maggie! With best wishes and regards from East Millinocket,Maine...David Page.

[@Aquadubious]

Kathi McDonald comes to mind.

[@lib556]

I'd seen the band mentioned while I read up on Jimmy, but had never heard them! So this is what I've been missing for 50 years. I'm suddenly struck by why Wings Over America is my favourite Wings album... simple. Jimmy playing live.

[@willcambeul6172]

If you can get their earlier (original line up) stuff it has John McGinnis on Hammond organ and Jimmy Dewar on bass. They were Glasgow's original 'supergroup' and I saw their first gig, as Power (before the name change), at the Burn's Cottage pub, in Glasgow. Quite a line up - but really had to be seen live as did this line up. I never felt that they were the real STC on their albums - and I have them all.

[@OLLI-ln7kp]

I saw them in 1973 at the Apollo in Glasgow,A hometown gig in front of a hometown crowd gigs didn’t get any better than that.

Les was great, but Jimmy, oh, Jimmy!! And Maggie, what a voice !! As so great as Janis, for sure! (And i love Janis so !!) And the whole group is High !

[@willcambeul6172]

Worth remembering that Maggie was doing this, long before Janis ever appeared. For me, Maggie was, easily, the better of the two, Janis didn't have that missing 'soul' bit - the Scottish one. You can hear it in Alex or in Frankie Miller (Rod wishes he had it but a London upbringing kinda diluted it). The young Lulu had it, too, believe it or not.

Evokes great memories of Saturday lunchtime sessions at Burns Howf in Glagow around 1970. Maggie Bell and the Power in those days

[@willcambeul6172]

Their first gig, as newly formed Power, was a Saturday lunchtime, late '68/early '69, in the other Burns - the Burns Cottage on Paisley Road West. Glasgow's first 'supergroup'. They soon moved up to town to the Howf. I was at that first gig and more than a few more, over the years. As I knew Jimmy well, from just before Thunderclap, until he died, I always regret that he joined Wings - STC were, musically, the best band that he played in and it's such a pity that they split up as they suited his playing - and he was able to be a part of a real band and not be stuck with what McCartney wanted. Being in a Glesga band was ideal, too.
