Savoy Brown Aug 27th 1988

If my camera work didn't ruin it for you, and you appreciated me uploading it, contribute (if you can spare) a buck or two. I make no money from views, all add revenue goes to the acts. I wonder who does get the money though. The artist or the record companies? The artist owns the 'author' rights and typically the record company owns the 'mechanical recording' rights. But they didn't record it... I did.
paypal.me/Willi... It may interest you that donations of $20 or more gain access a link for the fully uncompressed version, typically 13 GB/hr or $10 gets you a 2 GB/hr version, (KZbin versions are crunched 10:1 or about 250 Mb/hr) Some are reformatted to 16X9 like the version posted here. All donations are provided with a link to a comprehensive spreadsheet itemizing extensive details of the William G channel videos.
*This show has been reformatted into 16X9 from the original 4X3 aspect ratio. Some head cropping may occur. It may incorporate digital stabilization and some slight edits.
Life is short, don't spend too much of it watching other peoples videos. Make your own.
Enjoy.
Anybody who doesn't mind posting a setlist, I'd appreciate it.

[@lewismusser7184]

First saw Savoy Brown around 1973 and they opened with 'Let It Rock'( to your very soul).Saw them again at the Bottom Line in NYC, a couple of times, in the 80s. They played a scorchin' rocker called 'Tear Me Apart ', which is a Tanya Tucker cover! Kim Simmonds is as good as a guitarist ever gets and his slide-work is pretty much untouchable. His edgy,raw and raucous riffing on 'Needle And Spoon' from Raw Sienna will give you chills. The man was a 💙 Blues master. Won't see the likes of him again...

[@user-eo7nc5in7o]

I played w several local bands,i warmed up for the amazing Welsh gunslinger one night.....wil never firget,,have the bootleg from the show

[@garyandkathleenaugustine5225]

Jimmie Dagnesi on bass and his wife Tina, are our dear friends. He has his own band called Bad Juju now.

[@dex-o8s]

This was a great lineup for Kim Simmons and Savoy Brown especially with Dave Walker on vocals.....I had spoken with Kim in 93- 94 when he came into town at that time with Pete McMahon on vocals and harmonica... and kim had said that he lost track of Dave Walker and couldnt find him...... kind of a bummer... There's a CD out called"" live and kicking"" with these musicians... It's definitely worth buying!!!!

[@dex-o8s]

Live and Kicking actually has a different lineup: Kim Simmonds - guitar, Dave Walker - vocs, Pete Mendillo - drums, Lou Kaplan - bass, Rick Jewett - keys.

[@jimbo4460]

Was introduced to SB in 86 with a copy of Lion's Share and Street Corner Talking. Loved their sound immediately. Since then I have accumulated just about every album they have put out, whether on vinyl or CD. I have also ventured into the solo careers of Jackie Lynton, Chris Youlden, and of course Dave Walker. Dave Walker is my personal choice for their best vocalist and loved watching this clip.

The best of both styles British & American Blues.

[@TheGreatGastronaut]

what memories this brings back. One guitarist holding it all together, live without a net. Glorious. Kim was a member of a small cadre of true guitar frontmen that could pull it off. His peers are Pat Travers, Billy Gibbons, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robin Trower, Jimi. While each is distinctive and unique, they all share a common melodic thread and they were each arguably better live than on record.

The last time I saw Kim Simmons was at Yoshi's club in Oakland. He said that he was having trouble lifting that huge instrument of his with the onset of age, and sadly I learned of his death just a few years later. I felt so glad and so privileged to have seen him in person that night. What a show it was, and such a pleasure to see Simmons up there with his Les Paul and a great band behind him, all amazing musicians in their own right. The footage is a bit rough of this much earlier concert but the audio is just fine, and that's what's important. Thank you for sharing it with all of us!
