Elvin Bishop - Fooled Around and Fell in Love (REACTION) with my wife

[@jefferyshute6641]

Thanks guys. Mickey Thomas, what a great voice! Later, he joined Jefferson Starship and made more hit songs.

[@jackempson3044]

I didn't know that. I was thinking it was before Elvin Bishop.

[@audreymoore5743]

You can not “ never mind” about that Georgia sound!

[@EarlBeasley-y4p]

Indeed he did .

[@wyattspann2499]

I have heard this song hundreds of times and I still get chill bumps when I hear it. Mickey and I have been friends since our college days in the late sixties!

[@laurenval2370]

@@wyattspann2499 That's awesome! Tell him he's still being listened to!! With much joy!❤️

[@squidkid2]

Danika you're blushing! He'd never tear your name out of his book! Great live performance.

[@womanonthinice1276]

I love this couple, sweetest people❤

[@bobbiewallace4008]

. me too

[@mickdenis6630]

Mickey Thomas recorded his first solo album after this recording, he then joined Jefferson Starship, after 2 band members left. His recording of Jane with Jefferson Starship was a big hit for them. He has recorded a few good duets, but none better than "Only The Fool Survives" with Donna Summer in 1987, they blended so well, fabulous duet.

[@jjh5374]

The lead singer, Mickey Thomas, is phenomenal. He sang for Jefferson Starship/Starship as well. The song “Jane” is a banger.

[@itchyandred4131]

Took the words right outta my mouth ✌️

[@SoloArt8250]

Also sang Sara 👍🏼

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

Stranger is even better

[@M_ondo]

The title is misleading the great Mickey Thomas on lead. Definitely one of the greatest singers ever. I absolutely love this song. Elvins guitar skills are incredible. Shout out to all involved with this fantastic song. Mickey later went to Jefferson Starship. JANE is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Also did a few duets with Grace Slick formerly of J. Airplane. Mickey is still performing performing still sounds very good, I caught a portion of his concert on KZbin

[@scott3744]

It appears that the female back up singer is Reni Slais. She is KILLING IT on this song, just perfect with Mickey Thomas' vocals 👍

[@pureforce469]

I didn't even fool around yet I feel in love with her!

[@georgelynch6139]

Elvin was/is basically just a perfect American HonkyTonk legend. I played in many bands that opened for his small club shows in the Bay Area back in the 70s-80’s. His band would play mid week shows at small dives where they would sit and have a beer with the sparse audience during breaks, it wasn’t really a show it was just another live band night to dance and have a good time, true Honkytonk enjoyment

[@blackwolf6082]

Mickey's voice with that blues style is just smooth AF

[@laurenval2370]

One of my absolute favorite songs of all-time!!! Mickey Thomas is a legendary singer!❤

[@uriewallick3236]

You two are a most tender loving couple. Your love and kindness to each other while listening to music that we Americans grew up with!... We Love You!

[@michiganjfrog366]

Hands down one of the best vocal performances of all time 🫳🎤 including backup... I don't know who she is but she is amazing

[@steveullrich7737]

Thank God for the Midnight Special capturing so many iconic performances like this when music had substance, great music and wonderful lyrics and people could sing.

[@justjack0715]

Just needed to say that Mickey Thomas is a masterful vocalist. This is a live performance and this man belts it out without breaking a sweat! No strain. No gimmicks! JUST PURE TALENT! Man I miss the 70s... NO disrespect to Elvin but the God's were smiling on him when hooking up to MT!

[@jenniferworley7115]

Dominika.."he can fix my car anytime!!" 😁😁😁😂😂😂 I haven't seen Dominika so quickly come back with such a heart felt response. You made me laugh so hard, it was just so unexpected. Then the way Andrei's head snapped around and looked at you, was priceless. It's only fair Andrei.. after all those Kirstie (from Pentatonix) comments you used to drop..😁😁😁😂😂😂 I love you two so much. You bring such joy to my heart.✌🤗

[@glass2467]

The sheriff was Elvin Bishop, the great blues guitarist. He's been around for a long time and has played with many of the greats.

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 I love this song. And Mickey's voice? O.M.G! One of the very best. 🎶🎼🔥❤️

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

lol when you said “he can fix my car anytime” I was thinking the same thing!❤ He fell in love though and quit breaking hearts in this song so a good outcome. This is just a feel good song, the music, Elvin Bishops guitar playing and Mickey Thomas vocals just make it fantastic!

[@allanrose2964]

So glad you did this song! It's one of my favorite. Those were the styles of my High School days! Bellbottoms in every form. Love your so sweet reactions! Such lovely people! Greetings from Arizona, USA

[@dow311]

Mickey Thomas is definitely eye candy, plus a great singer.

[@jettechdonatkins]

A great song by Elvin Bishop.Elvin usualy did his own vocals,but knew this one was meant for his back up singer,Mickey Thomas,who is joined by Reni Slais here.Reni also has a great voice.Elvin is still paying today.I had the good fortune to see Elvin and Mickey play this in Tulsa,Oklahoma in the mid 1970's.Thank you Andre and Dominika.

[@timr5490]

That's Elvin Bishop on lead guitar. He wrote the song, but didn't feel his voice was good enough to sing it.

[@eugenesouza3819]

Thank you

[@lorraineingram1055]

To me Elvin Bishop is great singer.

[@justinkase1360]

I will need to listen to some of his music, but it's a testament to him that he put the music first. Fantastic on guitar, in this track.

[@WilliamWarlick]

Wonderful reaction my friends! This is my 67 year old music lover opinion, one of favorite songs ever. A classic, that rekindles my youth when I hear it.

[@JohnPilon082149051552]

Mickey Thomas with Jefferson Starship singing ‘We Built This City’ (on rock n’roll)…classic banger!

[@vickik9104]

Thanks for another stroll down memory lane! I love that you both love the music of my youth!

[@jnbennett6496]

great reaction u2, you want to hear more of his voice, check out the song Jane , he sings with jefferson starship

[@chrisruiz612]

Oh you two are hilarious, thanks for laugh!

[@std882]

Whenever I hear this song, it send chills down my spine. It's soooo good. I like that "He can fix my car anytime". LOL - Good one.

[@vicschauberger2737]

I'm so happy to see the reactions of people hearing this for the first time . Just like I did at 16 when it first came out . I was blown away and still am 48 years later . Love Mickey and Elvin .

[@Noelle0026]

Mickey has an amazing voice!!!

[@karenpatterson8574]

I love hearing reactions to this song. I was a teenager when this came out. Thanks !!

[@jackempson3044]

It was a little pitchy during the Ahhhha bridge but that happens live without auto tune. Some times you can't hear yourself well on stage. They're professionals at playing live. Love this song. One of my top ten favorites of all time.

[@JohnBullard]

Great song for a slow dance with your sweetie. By looking at Mickey's outfit, you might think he's going to change the oil and spark plugs in his truck after the show. If you want to hear Elvin really jam, listen to the recording of him playing at Fillmore East back in the day.

[@alexmad9377]

before my time, such a gem of a song. have to say those outfits sooo random, we have the lead singer who just came out of the mechanics with his jumpsuit, the cowboy guitarist, and the drummer who just finished a tennis match :D amazing

[@johnbumgardner7977]

Mickey Thomas is still a fantastic singer a golden voice he did lead singer for Jefferson starship ❤

[@RockDocNeal]

As other people have commented, it’s Mickey Thomas on lead vocals. He is best known as the lead vocalist of Jefferson Starship/Starship. If you haven’t heard their song Jane, I would highly recommend checking it out. I think it’s one of the best rock vocal performances (and songs) of the 70’s.

[@scott3744]

This performance is so good, it renders the other versions moot. I had to find this for my collection, it's on *The Midnight Special* DVD set from Time Life / StarVista Entertainment 👍😎 There are 4 different sets, a 3 DVD set, a 6 DVD set, a 7 DVD set and an 11 DVD set. There is a lot of duplication on the various sets, but this performance (Fooled Around and Fell in Love) is ONLY found on the 3 DVD and the 11 DVD sets.

[@UncleCharlie111x2]

The music of the 70's was tremendous!

[@GaryCain-qf5vi]

You took me back to the 70's, I had a jumpsuit with bellbottom just like that 😅 ❤Gary

[@stevenlemons2602]

An incredible performance of you. Both. So much fun and I love you both. You always make me think and smile. Great song by the way.

[@nancysmith38]

Now go hear him sing Jane with Jefferson Starship. Wowza

[@craigreid7178]

Elvin was much more of a blues player. My band got to open for him in the mid '90s. He was such a cool guy and really down-to-Earth and accessible. It was a really fun gig playing with him. His guitar style is very distinctive and unique.

[@rickclark8657]

Mickey Thomas is a treasure❤️

[@Trep-k1z]

Great reaction ! The mechanic was a good one

[@reggiefokes6677]

He could tune me up anytime.😊

[@26shedan]

you all are cracking me up-lol

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Elvin played at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival with Paul Butterfield Blues Band

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Excellent song ❤❤

[@drcornelius8275]

"He looks like a mechanic" haha so funny

[@timlenard1646]

Elvin Bishop is from Tulsa, Oklahoma just up the road from me here in Fort Smith, Arkansas ... well about 140 miles, which if you know the size of America, is practically my back yard...lol...

[@michellemcgregor358]

This is way better than the studio version... IMO

[@annereidy7981]

I was really looking forward to this one when I saw it in my feed, so fun and such a great voice.

[@carolespinoza8469]

Guys, I love this song.💞. I haven't heard it since the 80,s.love y'all 😘

[@jjowen2012]

I enjoy you two so much! :)

[@pamalaalford1081]

I had to comment! Your reaction is so sweet and funny ... but funnier because I had the same reaction althoughI heard the song so many times over the years, but never saw Mickey. I love it because no one else has said anything about him like that until you so now I know I'm not crazy! 😊 Thank you for sharing. God bless you.

[@anthonwest9541]

Great singing voice..wow!

[@AW11-e4h]

Y’all are listening to some great music lately 🤘🤘

[@willfromyadkinville]

here we go! enjoy!

I love this! Thank you two!

[@reggiefokes6677]

I love y'all. Your reactions are great. ❤

[@757optim]

Elvin wisely decided Mickey should sing this one. Not much info is available on the female backup singer Reni Slais, immortalized in this epic performance by Mickey Thomas. Of course that's Elvin, "pickin' on that red guitar".

[@tekay44]

Gather ‘round children……

[@squirehobbs6754]

Saw them perform this in 1975 at PBJC in Lake Worth Florida, my college days.

[@johnkelley2201]

Elvin is the guitarist with the sheriff badge. And of course, the singer is the famous Mickey Thomas.😊

[@karenpatterson8574]

I think the word your looking for is he’s adorable

[@matthewoconnor5838]

Great artist.

[@kirkkimball-martinez2402]

I think your Wife is in Love!! I love your wife's reaction.

[@RickyTaylor-mx1ti]

I seen these guys in the late 70s in Fairbanks Alaska when I was in high school in fact They were playing at Lathrop high school love them

[@jackempson3044]

The studio version is just as enjoyable but a little better too. The live version here is great in its own version.

[@bella-xp7qd]

As stated Mikey Thomas was the singer. Elvin Bishop ( guitar player) wrote this song but didn't think his gravelly voice was suited for the song so he had his backup singer Mickey Thomas sing it.

[@Donna185]

I had a jumpsuit like that in 1976. 😂

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 Forgot to say, great reaction you two, once again. 👌👍❤️🔥🎼🎶

[@UncleCharlie111x2]

Oh this will be good! Here we go!

[@Lulabee2024]

No it is Johnny Vernazza

[@GS-xt8fu]

Oh yes….Go Mickey!!!!!

[@kyle8125]

Great reaction to a song with great vocals & guitar work. Now Dominika, not to sure about the whole car mechanic outfit thing , but how about the female singer sportn her Pink Floyd, Darkside Of The Moon outfit.. probably didn't even know, just how cool she really was...🎶😎🎶

[@thomasripley1548]

The quintessential bar band....

[@CAPTWESS-nd8ep]

If you like Mickey Thomas voice, check out him with Jefferson Starship singing Jane or We Built This City

[@karenfryberger4260]

"We Built This City" would be a great choice. "Starship - We Built This City Official Music Video (HD)" - live!

[@StevesFunhouse]

Alright wonderful ... no, you did a reaction to Jefferson Airplane. That band evolved after some members left and new ones came, one being Mickey Thomas, the singer here in this song. However, you NEED to RUN, not walk, to do their song, Jane WITH Mickey Thomas !!! I promise you, if you like awesome rock, you will be elated !!! That song is a 10 out of 10. There is a point, at the end of the guitar solo, where the guitarist is climbing the scale, up and up and up, and when Mickey comes back in, he goes 1 note higher than the guitar. Incredible ... and 1 of the EIGHT wonders of the world 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! Dominika, you were just delightful, squirming around in your seat. It was precious and wonderfully beautiful !!! Andre, I even caught you really getting into this. Do you and me a favor ... I'm an old, broke man, but go ... do a reaction to Jane. You'll thank me for it.

[@naborone]

Thank you from Palm Desert California, excellent review. By the way, the lady's name was Reni Slais.

[@hankhaney3785]

Mickey Thomas is the singers name

[@felixnorman9562]

Fooled around, and found something better!

[@peanutbutter35]

Mickey was hot!🤦‍♀️ lol. Everyone says Mickey looked like he could fix your car and sing at the same time, he can fix my car anytime 🤣

Elvin Bishop is the playing the guitar.

[@RichardSchaefer-zx9ig]

Try "Travelin' Shoes" to get a better representation of Elvin Bishop's style, Southern Rock, Swampy Blues. He's pretty unique, lots of humor in his music.
