Watching these kids play old tunes never gets old✌👍👍

Just came across this, WOW, best cover of that song. The Band would be proud. Great job everyone.

[@Jay_Dahl]

That vocalist with the deep resonant voice has great potential, as does the rest of the band. Thumbs up.

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

She went to college at Berklee and graduated with a degree in music education.

Wow! I was NOT expecting that Husky, Smokey Voice!!!! Awesome Job to everyone. But Holy AMAZING Claire and Maddison!

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

She had it right from the very beginning. This was the first time I heard her voice, singing John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers Double-crossing Time kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqK4foCtoLGCg8k

GREAT JOB........

[@ronniebaker4549]

Great job, especially on vocals! Both put soul into the song and owned it!

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

I had been following this young woman's career for years, and I was so proud to see her make the School of Rock AllStars (the very best from more than 250 locations.) She also made it into Berklee School of Music, graduated and is now teaching at The Chicago School of Rock.

@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Thanks for the info. My favorite band is any SOR AllStars team. I was learning My Old School when I saw. I think it was 2014 SOR AS, not sure what location. I am 62 and played in a great band in high school but stopped playing until 2013. I would have loved to have got a chance to play with a bunch of talented kids then. I like doing Steely Dan, Yes and bands with songs with a lot going on. Happy Holidays

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

The video I shot of the 2015 AllStars doing My Old School is one of my personal favorites that I've ever shot, with a 15-year-old Connor Lowe. Phenomenally talented young musician and a really great kid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5u5m2pplMp1ftk

@@MidWestConcertVideo2 I have seen a few videos with Conner. I didn't know his age but he nailed the 3 lead breaks and threw in a little extra at the end.

Great job! Echoes of The Staple Singers on this one.

amen.........

[@larryc3860]

the late Levon Helm would say...."Play On"!..........."Sing On, Sistahs"!

[@jeffkulhanek9012]

The band is tight, lead vocals is better than the original, in my opinion,. How awesome it is to see kids have fun making music I grew up with!

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

The young lady on vocals got into Berklee, graduated and is now teaching at the Chicago School of Rock.

NIce cover..taleneted kids ...the vocals were a bit "over the top sometimes"

[@skipwilliam5639]

The second girl with the brat shirt tried to hard.. sorry Still a great song though.

[@froglobster]

Skip William -I disagree -the brat-shirt throaty doll seemed more naturally passionate on vocals in my opinion ...cheers

@@froglobster i watched it again and your right she put her own vibe into it and let herself feel it so I stand corrected :o)
