One of the advantages of being an old geezer in my mid-70's is that I lived through the era of great, classic rock. This is a good example of how it was performed back in the day, by a small group of good musicians who knew what they were doing. There are a few around today who still do it that way, but they're on the fringes, not in the mainstream like the earlier times. Thanks to The Midnight Special and other channels that share this history with us all, old timers or newbies.

you were blessed to live in that time and space. That tsunami of musical inventiveness that grew starting in the late 50's/early 60's and crested in the seventies.

[@leestamm3187]

@@dingbatrambozo7749 Just a lucky accident of being born at the right time. Happily, KZbin is here so old geezers like me can live it again and younger people can get some idea of what it was like.

Wow!!!!!

[@jenbloom6848]

Makes you wonder why great bands like Redbone, Fanny, and even Rodriguez, have to be rediscovered? They reflected authentic America, and their talent and artistry were off the charts. The record companies knew this, but gave into status quo and rejected the true innovation of these artists.

[@NickNicometi]

Yet, there they were on The Midnight Special. Even if they made enough to buy a house and start a small business or recording studio, they did well with their time invested in their talent and had a better head start than most American working scrubs. Their glasses were half-full.🍷

[@CoCotheTurtle]

That may be true, but Status Quo never had a hit as big as "Come and Get Your Love." Or "Witch Queen of New Orleans." Or even "Wovoka."

[@imranqqq7307]

We lose a couple of verses from the record here, but we gain a good solid FOUR MINUTES of the Vegas brothers and Tony Bellamy just SHREDDING while their dude Butch the drummer lays down the beats for them. Lolly in particular was in the zone here. Even this relative youngster (I'm 45) appreciates the top-flight musicianship here.

[@brianfrost2695]

Their best song of a bunch of good songs. Yes. They are very tight!

Lolly Vegas was one of Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitarists. Lolly Vegas used a Leslie speaker to play the guitar. It was also Jimi that urged them to form a band in the first place. The drummer also had a King Kong style of drumming.

[@loilt5091]

According to Pat Vegas,(Redbone’s bassist), Jimi Hendrix, himself part Cherokee, inspired the musicians to form an all-Native American rock group. (Hendrix himself stated that his brother, Lolly Vegas was his favorite guitarist and biggest influence in music). en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redbone_(band)
