Lee Michaels Stormy Monday Live

[@susannebass1883]

One of the amazing, best performances ❤

[@jimfladwood4393]

Nobody could wind up the B 3 like Lee Michaels And Frosty hammering down the frosting ☮️🎹

[@BigBri550]

Actually, this was Keith Knudsen (later of Doobie Bros fame) doing a jaw-dropping job on drums for this live album.

[@jimfladwood4393]

@@BigBri550 Thanks so much for the information.☮️ I was real partial to Frosty. I got to see Lee and Barry live a couple of times.✌️

[@BigBri550]

@jimfladwood4393 Frosty was great, God rest him. No doubt about that 👍

[@RichardMeadows-n6p]

I saw Lee and Frosty in Davenport Iowa in 1971. His concert was promoted for the week after my expected Army discharge. The theatre was kind enough to hold two tickets for me. I went with a farm girl friend. We sat on the floor and I unloaded the doobies into the crowd. I was only six months back from VietNam and still crazy. Lee was late and then he forgot the lyrics to Stormy Monday. As messed up as we were he was farther out. It made no difference and made me love him even more. Long live Lee Michaels 🎉🎉

[@ericcranston8158]

Went to the Fillmore in San Francisco to see Lee and Frosty numerous times...an OUTSTANDING entertainment evening...

[@katowilbur5994]

Nobody has ever done this song like Lee Michaels.

[@edsapin4620]

Theses two guys Lee and his drummer “Frosty” were the best!

[@BigBri550]

Frosty Smith was great indeed, but it was Keith Knudsen (later of Doobie Bros fame) who laid it down on this live album.

[@Hawkrvo]

Best version by far ! Tried to get the B-3 sound off my Roland Juno-6 with many adjustments and amp distortion. Close but no cigar.

[@JP4drumsFarrell]

Shook the chandelier in the Filmore East when he played this song through a bunch of Acoustic amps with a folded 18-inch horn. My ears stop ringing last week! What a show!!

[@MercifulMariner]

Saw Lee in Akron Ohio. At the Civic. When he came out and hit that G Chord on Tell me How would you feel! Wow!!!!! It pushed me against the seat. Then Frosty, what a great show! Not to mention his singing, Incredible.

[@theBullringLive]

Loudest show I ever saw- at Boston Tea Party. Fantastic!

[@jimfladwood4393]

Lee knew how to turn it up! He lost his hearing to his craft. Amazing music man😮

[@jimfladwood4393]

@@MercifulMariner How would you feel. One of my favorite songs! I miss Lee and Frosty. Damn fine music, none better!❤☮️ Frosty is gone now.😢

[@Music_is_life616]

​@@jimfladwood4393 this is not true!

[@MercifulMariner]

When Lee came out and hit that first chord on tell me how would you feel, it would just literally hit your chest, and then he was off and running. I will never ever forget Lee and Frosty! Yes when the pioano thing got going, I lost interest, but the world kind of like it.

[@raptorspence100]

My first real concert saw him with three dog night at swing auditorium San Berdoo. 1969. He was great so was Three Dog Night. Great memories

[@susannebass1883]

Absolutely awesome song and Lee’s performance is amazing!

[@JoseLopez-rm1pm]

Best B3 organ player

[@BigBri550]

I think Lee Michaels actually played several different models of Hammonds, but he definitely kicked ass on all of them, including the B3.

[@thomasprete-w5i]

Love The Studio Version...but this will do...When I'm in the Doldrums this is my go to song...Kicks Ass! ..and will wake the Dead!...Good Stuff!

[@liber8lee]

1969 held my head against his B3 all night long in Monterey and the Fairgrounds. Pushed that Leslie through 10 Fender Dual Showmans all lined up behind Frosty. Them were the days.

[@olderbutyoung7959]

1970, Selland Arena, Fresno, Loudest concert i have EVER been too, But, a little Southern Comfort and the smell of weed everywhere, who really gives a shit,Lol.

[@davidhenry3938]

I was at the Monterey show. It was an afternoon show, my friends and I were waiting by the entrance when he started doing a sound check with "Day of change" opening chords, VERY loud. After the show, we went to McDonalds in Santa Cruz, and by chance he walked in with his girlfriend. I bought him lunch , told him it was a great show, and later watched him drive away in his mini-cooper down highway 1 towards San Francisco.

[@stlrockn]

Used to crank this one up on my college radio show back in the early 70s. It sure sounded good blasting thru the studio's JBLs.

[@Buzzramjet]

I saw Lee perform half a dozen times with Frsoty and am happy as hell I didn't see him show up at the Forum with a piano and a different drummer so all my memories are like this song above. Last time I saw him was at the Hollywood Bowl opening for Iron Butterfly. And real happy I never saw him after he went off the rails. One of the greatest keyboard players and singers. RIP Frosty who died last year.

[@BigBri550]

The drummer was Keith Knudsen on this live album, and he was great.

[@popest.sylvesterthefirst2131]

Back in the day 60 bad crazy whiite boy need to respect that organ

[@howardhandville2107]

Caught him at Pirates World in 1970. Just him & Frosty trading off insane solos, but when Frosty ended the set with one of his famous bare-handed 20 minutes avalanches, my jaw hit the floor. What fun memories...

[@brucebooher2288]

It was 69 when I was listening to my AM transistor radio when they said the pass word was Frosty. A while latter they said call in with the pass word to win tickets to shis show. And I won!!

[@XZXZXZXZ-j1o]

Lee is perfection and so was Frosty who I was privileged to chat with briefly shortly before his passing down in Austin. I wish Lee would forget about the shrimp and come back to what he really knows. Shrimp restaurants or the B3? I know which one I want.

[@Thadmotor1044]

2 guys , balls out rock and roll , blew minds

[@henryzeisler8280]

There was a video of him playing this amazing song, I can’t find it anymore?! Help find

[@Buzzramjet]

Lee was an amazing act with Frosty on drums. I saw him several times, opening for Jefferson Airplane, Whiskey Ago go, all over. THEN he screwed up and got rid of Frosty and his Hammond organ. But until then he KICKED ASS. Then he went insane. So tragic.

[@MR-in4yi]

Ah Lee,Frosty, Winterland and us humans, what fun. He knocked us out of the building . The B-3 in those hands, just layed us all out. I would have loved to see you all there.

[@johnoflaherty2598]

Oh my God! I ain't ever heard this version before! Since May 2003, I have only ever known the studio cut. The intro is just off the hook incredible. Thanx for the upload!

[@tkskt1112]

Yeah, This is DYNAMITE!! :)

[@debiah7736]

You betcha! I saw Lee Michals perform this live in concert in California . My husband to be had a hammond B3 organ just like it. He played just like Lee. ♡♡♡

[@cengeb]

1969 best version of Stormy Monday ever, of all time..he sings, keyboard and bass pedals, and just the drummer...lotta sound for two guys

[@echinopsritro]

"complaints about short set rip off," according to a class of 1971 website... do you know if anyone recorded the show?

[@markfuller3786]

Sounds exactly like when I saw him back in 1969 at the Crusty Rubber in Garfield Nebraska. I'm tellin ya man Frosty threw his drum sticks up in the air and one bounced off the Leslie speaker flying into the crowd and landed two rows in front of me. Thankfully the speaker was ok

[@therubbersouls]

I saw Lee and Frosty may 69 opening for Jimi at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds. I saw Lee later opening for Zep at the Keyzar SF 73.

[@michael.whelan2537]

Me too! Great shows

[@minoutv7347]

Me too, was there! That was the Houses of the Holy Tour if I remember correctly.

Esta es una de las mejores Versiones de tosdos los tiempos. al Igual que la del Mountain.

[@dougrobinson7710]

Judging from the kick drum work, I'm going to guess that's Keith Knudsen, not Frosty on drums. Great version.

[@Buzzramjet]

As far as I am aware Kieth never played with Lee while Lee had the B-3. Just when he went to piano. Could be wrong but every recording I've heard with Keith, Lee was playing piano.

[@echinopsritro]

@@Buzzramjet This recording is from Lee's official live album, released in 1972, and the drummer was in fact Keith Knudsen. You are correct, Lee started touring with piano in late 1970 (with Frank Davis or Joel Larson on drums, before Keith Knudsen joined him in mid-1971), toured again with organ in 1972, and then in 1973 was using a trio configuration with electric piano, Joel Christie on bass, and Keith on drums. I imagine the live tapes you've heard with Lee on piano and Keith on drums are ones that I circulated on dimeadozen, but I'm curious, what are the dates and venues? Also, check out my Lee uploads here, if you haven't.
