"Pick Up The Pieces"- Alan Gorrie, Daryl Hall

Live From Daryl's House 1/15/10 www.lfdh.com

[@vtownboxingfan]

You've gotta admit, we were pretty lucky to have grown up listening to AWG, EWF, Wild Cherry, Tower of Power, War, Chicago, etc.

[@imbees2]

Yesssssss. Fabulous time for music that we were exposed to. Every day.

[@oneanddone7992]

​@@imbees2 Living through the music of about 1972 to the late '80s was pure magic.

Add Cold Blood.

[@billrayburn2775]

I willingly admit to that......Tower of Power....what brass...I'm from the SF Bay Area...great music mecca....underrated...Journey!

[@kimbanyc1]

I'm a native Manhattanite... First time I head this at a party I thought it was a Tower of Power new tune....

[@lrh411]

I grew up with this music, I seriously feel bad for anyone too young to appreciate this. This is music.

[@michaelireland7239]

hella fucking lulla to that

[@Breakbeats92.5]

If Daryl Hall was my neighbor I would never complain about the loud music.

[@2010Baldy]

Wow ,that is some good news nowadays.

If Daryl Hall was my neighbor I'd slime my way into the hallway.

[@davebrown9714]

I TOTALLY agree with you on that dam 👏🏾👍🏾

[@Fav.234]

I've always loved The Average White Band but I must say this is the funkiest I've heard any band play Pick Up The Pieces. Wow !

[@HasinaiMan]

Daryl's third solo album, "Soul Alone," featured writing collaborations with Alan Gorrie. (Hall and Oates' Band and Average White Band have both included Clyde Jones on bass, Clyde even appears on later seasons of LFDH on bass and vocals), Clyde has also toured as the lead vocalist with AWB. I once saw AWB, with Clyde Jones and Alan Gorrie, they opened for Hall and Oates (with T-Bone Wolk) in San Diego @Humphrey's By The Bay, the ending jam featured both bands playing, "Pick Up The Pieces," and iirc they covered the Delfonics' "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)." A good time was had by one and all! Good Times, Baby!

[@DaddyTre65]

If you're listening to this song, and your foot isn't tappin' and your head isn't bobbin', then you might be dead! Wow! For a dude from Scotland, Alan Gorrie (founding Average White Band member) sure does bring the FUNK! And you add Daryl Hall's amazing band to the mix, and it's a SOULFUL, funky good time!

[@markhaban5642]

+Roger Plummer I was listening, and scrolling down to read the comments. I hit yours and sure enough, foot tappin' head bobbin'. Now I have goosebumps, I guess I am alive after all. Any day you wake up above the dirt is a good day. Any day you start off with this is gonna be a great day!!

[@philzambo]

+Roger Plummer I am Scottish Roger, as a people we have a lot of soul

[@jriesmeyer]

I'm doing both right now & every time I listen to this. Even back in the day when this song first came out. :)

[@glennk1931]

Got that right Roger!!

[@nipperize]

Roger that Roger.

[@ts.elliot5870]

Always loved the song. The horns and organ are kicking it!

[@frankrizzo51]

And the fact that they were THAT good and still (depending on your taste) you could find twenty or so acts that were more popular if not more. Shows how strong the 70's were when it came to music. Try and do that today.

[@wernerrohr7259]

OMG a Scottish band was playing soul and funky music, best time in my live. I watched them twice live on stage and Let´s go round again was all we need for the rest of the night...😍

[@jimlassen9422]

Wow, I haven't seen a live version of this, only the album this track came from. Great to see and hear it live after so many decades and Daryl loved playing this, judging by the smile on his face throughout the song. Great stuff and I will also have a smile on my face tonight as I sleep.

[@1contemporary]

I can't get enough of Daryl's House. This is the greatest show on earth today. It has not received the recognition it deserves. One day it will. Just takes time.

[@trixscheper327]

I agree completely.

Great an smiling time for me to !

Hahaha!! My kids tell us all the time that we had the best music. I told my parents that too, and their music was WWII era Big Band.. Bottom line? ALL music is the best!!

[@JasonMaximHall]

This is incredibly good. Better than any studio version. DH"s face says he thinks so too.

not really THE most incredible...but it ties for the best with so many of the other "Live At Darryl's " performances...check out the one with Smokey Robinson...and numerous others....of course at the end of the you're expression heartfelt enthusiasm for what is totally awesome...

[@damouldo]

You are correct

[@Triton_Secure]

I love how all the musicians are in a circle. This is FOR THEM... audience be damned.

Unbelievable! Great performance!

[@MegaDeansy]

Just saw AWB at Edinburgh's Usher Hall on Saturday - sadly, for the final time as it's their farewell tour !. I know everythijg has to end sometime but I.cant believe I'll never see my favourite band ever again, I've followed them for 50 years as I first saw them at the Odeon in 1974 !. Many, many thanks Alan And the rest of the guys, it's ALWAYS been a pleasure and Saturday was no different as you were OUT OF THIS WORLD !

[@kissarooni]

This band is so tight & soulful. Brass & drums are making a killing. Guitar, vocals, organ…I wish these guys would be touring!

[@darthfader6835]

Smokin', just flat out smokin'. Always loved this song, killer performance.

[@austinteutsch]

Just look at the constant smile on Daryl's face. Man does he love it but not as much as I do!!! AWB rocks the funk world.

[@laurelfaletra8411]

+austin teutsch don't you love it ! Daryl's face is priceless...talk about talent...they are amazing..

[@mbolduc]

austin teutsch hard to be anything but happy when you hear those horns

[@WAN2TREE4]

I think he's smiling because T-Bone is stuck with the guitar rhythm thing which is very hard to do

Saw these guys years ago at ...Brighton University ( I think ) bloody good way ahead of there time ....but you just knew how good they were ...."lets go round again" thanks for the memory

[@aichejaye363]

The year 1975. I'm listening to Casey Kasem and the American Top 40. I am a 13 yr old black kid in Charleston S.C. Casey introduces the next hit, "Pick up the pieces." By the Average White Band. After the song, Casey repeats the title and says all the way from Scotland, The Average White Band. I reacted: "What? Scotland. I thought these dudes were black and from the states!!"

The truly amazing thing about this song is that it was originally recorded by a Scottish band. It's as good a funk tune as any recorded in America (or anywhere else!) by funk bands.

Daryl is smiling so much because he knows they're sounding like the old Rhythm Section from back in the day. James Brown's band. Which is where The Average White Band got their funk. The horn section really takes it to another level. It's just plain funky, and that's why Daryl is smiling ear-to-ear and I don't blame him. so am I !
