Steve killing them drums! Clean and precise

[@KellerColeman]

I remember hearing this for the first time years ago. Still a hot album, awesome musicianship. They played together and this will always be a classic.

[@stuartmichael5967]

Scottish soul brother one of the greatest

[@TheDebgirl12000]

My Junior High School jam, and my soul brothers from Scotland! I saw them at Madison Square Garden in 1977. They were and are incredible!

The BEST GROOVE OF ALL TIME!! Thank you Alan, Hamish, Robbie, Onnie, Roger, Molly and Steve! CLASSIC JAM!! I saw them live in Dayton, Ohio - Hara Arena - summer of 1976! I was unbelievable folks!

[@mackey-5438]

Same here. Saw them in summer of 1976 at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, Santa Barbara CA. Awesome concert, well represented by this live album.

[@Kassiusday]

WHY NO THAT MUCH VIDEO about their concert AND NO VIDEO OF THIS FABULOUS CONCERT IN 1973 ??????

[@lizpedano1542]

Played Cloudy and Person to Person and of course ...Pick up the Pieces... at my senior prom in 1975

[@tphillipgee987]

[@arienfox]

A clinic I'll say!

[@criplekreek]

[@arienfox]

Still GREAT MUSIC in 2021!

[@bradymorgan3962]

Baddest band in the land.

[@Kassiusday]

The bass player here gives a such unique dimension !! all are genius musiciens !!! That rythmic guitare solo is awesome !!! He s doing impro with chords only is fantastic !!! Then we have the solo guitar which is more classical approach of a solo guitar !! Then the talking bass solo !!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩gosh I did train to play that solo of bass

[@ezracarter5843]

In my opinion Average White Band and Earth Wind and Fire are the top two live performances ever.

[@blaquenguni9249]

James Brown /Jb's trumps all that

[@trasivijf]

Those 23 thumbs down ! they are deaf ! The best scottish band I ever seen in my life ! (1977/ amsterdam) And this album is must have.

[@ronniesmith3521]

I still have mine

[@unique74muzik]

They're performing Hustleman's song!! So cool!! 🎷

[@frankconnor4969]

This bass solo inspired me to be a professional musician. Excelent musicians and album!

[@timbaldwin9951]

Killer jam! Love this stuff.

[@ronniesmith3521]

I still have this album

[@derekyoung1710]

I also remember this night in cleveland ohio Recorded at the richfield coliseum Eighteen thousand Of us Oh what a choir

[@ronniesmith8941]

Still have this album on vinyl

[@edwardcave1947]

Back in the 60/70's I heard them on Detroit Smooth Jazz and the Dj said" he'd been playing them for weeks thinking they were a hot black band. He said he didn't believe they were a band from Scotland and there wasn't a 'brother' in the group. I laughed because most music from Scotland was bagpipes

[@richardhammache7604]

great performance steve feron drum's and other sure!!

[@cigarcatfromwayback...lets380]

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

[@nancyphillips5705]

[@sonnymanagbanag9946]

The Sax is so savage Bass is not far away Freedom!

[@stilodrom]

very healthy music indeed : no alcohol no drugs needed @all - maybe some ladies on the dancefloor having the groove in their hips and....::: GO!

[@jfval7110]

The ultimate groovy tune ... not so bad for "average" guys ^^

[@lekkerebek]

Back in the days when bands could expand their performances for 10, 20 or more minutes (The End by the Doors, Get ready by Rare Earth, Papa don´t take no mess by James Brown, On Broadway by George Benson, Take Five by Al Jarreau etc etc ...) because they did not need studios where everything is dubbed and dubbed and dubbed again until it fits ...... glad to be from the fifties and witnessed all of them from the start

[@lizpedano1542]

When actually played Instruments 🎺

[@lekkerebek]

@@lizpedano1542 yes, you're right! Those musician (and there are still so much of them) actually really controlled their instruments and did not depend on studio equipment etc .... 👍

[@hichemmohamedpsg5770]

La grande classe cet album

[@daltonbolton5515]

I still play Drums on this sound to this day/2020

[@Kassiusday]

The drummer was fantastic !!!! He left us too early !!

[@EricAnthem]

@@Kassiusday Don't get it twisted. Steve Ferrone a great drummer, but this is NOT Robbie McIntosh. Robbie wouldn't play that stiff on his worst day.

[@Kassiusday]

@@EricAnthem could you expend a bit about it , wd you trying to say Ferrone was not a good drummer ??

[@EricAnthem]

@@Kassiusday I wrote a long in depth response, then somehow dropped the ball and lost it? The point is, that Ferrone is as good a drummer as you'll find out there. He's awesome, period. Go checkout my Robbie McIntosh playlist and compare the AWB groove in the first 3 videos to ANY performance since. It should be obvious that Robbie brought another dimension to his playing. It's a million subtle things he does that's from his heart. It can't be taught. A few other drummers have brought similar magic to their groups, but NONE on the level Robbie did. Robbie elevated AWB from a great band to Legendary. Since '75, AWB has been a great band, but they'll never stand out from the other greats as they did when Robbie was alive.

[@gusmartins3298]

@@EricAnthem - Stiff. You should get off the drugs. Ferrone is driving this groove.

[@hansbollen9635]

[@kandauelliot1742]

Is this AWB cover ?

[@gun4242]

No, it's AWB LIVE on 'Person to Person' (Double Live-LP as shown above)

[@GrumpyBlack]

+kandau elliot This is their 'live' album Person to Person. Only thing missing that would make it complete (to me) is 'A love of your own'. They could have replaced 'Heard it thru the Grapevine' with that and this would be a 'Classic'.

[@spiralarchitech0727]

@Kandau Yes its the cover of their double lp...and its a gatefold too!
