Nice cover of this fantastic rock classic. Savoy Brown is one of the giants of British rock.

[@mikejewett1584]

Every time I listen to these guys I end up with a big ol' smile on my face!

[@MarkBaker56]

Thanks Mike. Does it happen on the sad songs too? Tell Mama has always put a grin on my face.

[@medicalnegligence]

Nice work all around......especially the drummer.

[@garysheppard366]

Great rendition, the sound & energy here is fantastic. Hope you can be in the neighbourhood of Melbourne, Australia soon brothers ✌️

[@jrgwld12]

They nailed it!!

[@johnwilcox4078]

I've seen Savoy Brown live and I must say this version is most satisfactory ❤

[@GDTRFBBB]

Haven't heard this classic for 20+ years... Great Job. kim and the rest of the guys would be proud

[@efrenscover7034]

Big salute to this Picnic band...awesome! I enjoy it....

[@caldon0370]

Very well done and much enjoyed. Vocals were spot on and for an outdoor gig, props to the sound person for a terrific mix.

[@mberge1]

Sounds like a steel guitar

[@NeighborhoodPicnic-xj4qb]

Thanks! The drummer does the audio and video production.

[@robertreed3424]

Great job on that one guys, always loved that bassline.

[@robertreed3424]

Dang, just realized the time stamp for posting. Before Kim passed. Just now showing up in my feed.

[@henryneraiii6128]

Nice cover with a twist using saxophone together with the guitars. BTW I am from the Philippines. Way back in HS here in Manila I used to take a ride going to school riding a public jeepney while this song is being played on an 8-track cassette stereo inside while the driver is speeding at a fast pace on the road. Hell those were the old days here in Manila..

[@neilvergara2136]

Mabuhay!!!

[@vicentecarmelomanalo2018]

Brother Henry, the 8-track you are referring to is the Super Tuner Pioneer KP-500 perhaps, with surround sound 4 PT-6 twitter in every corner of the jeepney. Gasak-Recto route.

[@johnn8414]

Savoy always had a great groove...you did awesome! Thanks !

[@keithplunk6611]

Nice job guys. Awesome song to cover. Really great mix too. Fun song that just gels your groove to a jelly jam rockin' good time. Thankyou for loving the music! 😅

[@davepurdue855]

I love this cover and the band. The band name is awesome!

[@rickhibdon11]

As I said on another post, this... this right here, is the band I always wanted to put together. Small, local guys, not rock star oriented. Just some guys having fun playing local stuff...

You guy's sound great, YOU NAILED IT. You sound just like the original recording I played guitar in a band a long time ago I am thorougly impressed . WOW !!!!!

[@samre234]

Where's the rocket supplies?! That was great. You guys got to be one of the best bands in the area. I would play with you guys in a second.

[@LowelPadernal-vy7dj]

Wow.! This was so nice man.!

[@geoff2212]

What a band !!

[@mberge1]

Great rendition of a classic savoy brown song.

[@richdooley3249]

Sounds Great!! It Does sound just like the original when it’s in open A. I’m in an ABB type band so I just play it in open E. Great Job Guys!!!

[@garysheppard366]

Was just thinking that too, Rich. Am going to have a try at this in open A right now! 👌

[@MarkBaker56]

Amongst these tunes is our take on Clapton’s Motherless Children which is also in open I also used open A . We don’t have guitar techs prepping our guitars so we plan accordingly so we don’t have to cart in more than three guitars or so.

[@tallbassguy]

That was actually very well done and sounded good. Its obvious you guys are well rehearsed. As a fellow bassist of 40+ years...Ray dunn good.

THANKS SAVOY BROWN

[@raymondrafer]

Nice cover...very smooth

[@905Alive]

Excellent, what a surprise, this is one of the songs on my list of the "super band" I'm trying to assemble in Ct, this band is what I envision with hopefully at least one female that can play any instrument and sing, it would be based on Little Feat with songs from others like this, and my thinking is with the right female like a Bonnie Raitt sound (who sang a lot with Feat) it would gel and add some Raitt songs and Christine McVie, etc. People seem petrified of trying Little Feat "oh it's too hard" music is supposed to be challenging, right now Ct has about 734 dead cover bands, and no one does Feat.

[@MarkBaker56]

Sounds like quite the undertaking. Start with the rhythm section as LF was all about the grooves. Honky tonk piano stylings would go a long way toward acheiving their sound also. While you are at it some of the Bands material would fit nicely with that. Good luck and keep us posted.

[@MarkBaker56]

Have you seen Last Licks out there in CT. My daughter lives in New Britain and told me about them. Pretty impressive.

[@BryanWinssss]

Damn good

[@TheBhunt1]

really good :)

[@janggogemiliano5247]

Savoy brown..nice cover. nice about them they are not copying the original voice they're doing it on their own and that made them unique..

We say never say never. We ain’t getting any younger and this event doesn’t get any easier. Many of us tickling 70 so the set up tear down and logistics take there toll. Keep an eye on these pages and never say never.

[@rickbabcock6397]

Kim left us with one more album on his way out.

[@0isez]

This is the version I always come back to. Nobody rocks like Boomers! Slide guitar tuned to A. Am I right?

[@MarkBaker56]

Yes Sir. At this point the action was high on this Strat so I tuned it to open A for this song and Motherless Children

[@MarkBaker56]

I have shimmed the neck and the action is greatly improved so now it will be in standard tuning and one of my other guitars will be dedicated to open tuning. If interested in open tuning our version of “Waiting for the Sun” I used open D tuning on an Eastwood Delta 6

[@0isez]

@@MarkBaker56 Thanks for the reply. I am a half assed guitar player for about 50 years. Try as I may I still cannot sound any good on a slide. I am beginning to believe you must have a proclivity for it. My brother plays a beautiful slide guitar in standard tuning. When I try ,I sound like a refrigerator falling down a basement stairwell. Glad you're doing it though, otherwise I would have to and bring an end to classic rock.

[@MarkBaker56]

You like most musicians are likely your own worst critic. It is a rare occasion that I am completely satisfied with my performances and that pertains to slide most of all. Slide presents so many nuances and variables that can be hard to master. The biggest being hearing yourself in reference to the other pitch producing instruments in a live setting. Keep plugging & chugging , hold on to what works, forget what doesn’t and strive to learn new techniques. A pedal steel freind once told me “it takes 10 years just to get bad at pedal steel.” I think the same apllies to a degree to slide .

[@0isez]

@@MarkBaker56 Thanks Mark, I needed to hear that. I thought that it would be a snap, especially in standard tuning. I will keep plugging. Thanks again...Ken

[@racehemi426425]

Better than Savoy brown. I wish this band was near Detroit

[@SanFranciscoFatboy]

u need a les paul to play this correctly........ these fenders sound cool but .............

[@MarkBaker56]

I was gifted this strat but the action was a touch high so I tuned it to open A for slide work. I have since shimmed the neck pocket so action is much lower now. Thanks KZbin for great guitar repair tutorials.

[@notsure4508]

drummers foot too busy

[@NeighborhoodPicnic-xj4qb]

If you're not sure you should not comment. Just listened again to the original version and that's what he plays. It's mixed a bit lower so its a bit harder to notice, but that's what he does. If you need anymore affirmation of this listen to their live version and you'll see. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6a7mXqamN-VmdE

[@ramblerdave1339]

More slide, less sax.

[@miaolga6167]

Too fast

[@NeighborhoodPicnic-xj4qb]

Don't usually reply to comments like this, but you are completely wrong! We are playing this at 134bpm. The record is also 134-135 bpm. I just watched a live version by Savoy Brown from 81. They were flying at 164bpm. Now THAT is too fast!

[@Alastair6]

Nice!

Hell Yeah!
