R.I.P. Jim Seals...Thanks For ALL You Gave Us. 🙏 ❤

[@k1hasard]

The small string instrument is a mandolin I think. A piccolo is a miniature flute, just so you know.

[@hongfang2508]

I think it's a mandolin too. The instrument is popular, essential really, in bluegrass music. Less common in other genres.

[@davemcbroom695]

I'm thinking a Greek Bouzouki.

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

@@davemcbroom695 Definitely a Mandolin the Greek Bouzouki has a longer neck.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

PS Rod Stewart used a mandolin to good effect in the songs, MAGGIE MAY and MANDOLIN WIND.

[@UniversalMokenTroll]

I believe you are correct.

[@dennis2966]

There's so much missing here that you would've heard in the studio version. In that version there's a toy piano that's played, and it really adds to the song. I saw them live several times with a full band backing them, and each time someone played that toy piano.

[@mobyman440]

And let’s not leave out the angelic chorus harmony that can bring you to tears from the studio recording..

[@bc8368]

I agree the album version is better but it's still a nice version

[@JamesBond-ib9tq]

Great vocals but it's missing a couple instruments we are used to.

[@gypsylights9518]

"We may never pass this way again" , another great song by Seals & Crofts

[@davidhapka5410]

Seals & Croft were a staple of great seventies music...RIP indeed Jim Seals.

[@philipdickey6460]

One of my favorite songs, and they also did Get Closer, Diamond Girl

[@aarongoldstein7614]

As others have mentioned, “Hummingbird” is Seals & Crofts’ masterpiece. R.I.P. Jim Seals

[@stevem.1853]

The song loses some of its extra spice in the live version. The studio version has some backing instruments, and the melody/phrase at the beginning and end of the song is played on a toy piano. I think that the background vocals might have some overdubs to thicken them up. The small stringed instrument is a mandolin, used often in folk and bluegrass music. A piccolo is a type of flute, smaller than the normal version- it can play higher notes than a flute.

[@bsharp6856]

Totally agree. Once you know a song, the live version can be nice. But most of the time your first listen to a song should be the studio recording.

[@centuryrox]

Ugh. Disappointed in this live version. Anyone listening to a song for the first time should ALWAYS go with the studio version first.

[@scotthuish67]

That's a mandolin

[@FrethKindheart]

Definitely listen to the original studio version. For so many years, this song was sentimental for me, remembering summer and the many happy things that happened in summers past. Cookouts, good times, perfect weather, family.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

And listen also to the cover version by the Isley Brothers.

[@davidabbett7011]

The smaller instrument is a mandolin . . . and their music is going strong after 50 years.

[@thefoss5387]

A piccolo is a small flute, Dash Crofts was playing a mandolin here. The original version was by this duo, but the mandolin part was on an electric mandolin.

[@martyemmons3100]

You've played this song at the exact perfect time, Angela. The temperature is up and I have the windows open wanting a "Summer Breeze". I'm used to The Isley Bros. version of this song. Seals and Croft's live performance is so good to watch.

[@hazeroth]

Us antipodeans are slowly freezing away over here! We'd like a summer breeze too!

[@rayphelps2129]

I think the small instrument is a mandolin

[@John_Chu]

You're thinking of the cover by Type O Negative. Marilyn Manson never did Summer Breeze. The Isley Brothers covered it in 1973, one year after Seals & Crofts' original was released.

[@shaunwoo]

I totally forgot Type O Negative covered this. It's been a while!

[@shanenolan8252]

There was a successful cover of this as well. I think its a mandolin. ( before manson)

[@keithneale6223]

The record is much, much better.

[@kitkatbar2246]

Please react to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel.

[@Phoenix-One0922]

iT's a Double 5 string Mandolin (10 strings) small Lute 'guitar' that's mainly used for Greek music but its origins date to Celtic and Medival Times but some believe it goes even farther before to the Romenians in 1380 AD pre-dark ages. I have one from 1909 and still plays great.

[@OldFan639]

This song will always make me think of summers growing up in the 70's. RIP Jim. You and your brother are no doubt in that all star band in the sky.

[@kennethmcglashan3333]

that song is brilliant. it’s about coming home picking up the newspaper on sidewalk, going through the screen door and greeting your wife. Simple but brilliant.

[@roberttompkins6489]

This song stirs such levels of nostalgia it is difficult for me to even listen to it. The sadness of a time gone now and life ebbing away. This is especially true with the recent passing of Jim Seals. RIP Jim Seals - thanks for the great music.

[@garyarnett1220]

I know, does seem like time keeps slippin away. So much gone before. RIP Jim, catch you on the rebound.

[@natskivna]

I guess one of the things life teaches you as you go along is the fragility of it all. We don't recognize in the moment the things we love and assume will always be there....won't. It's something you only really learn once you experience loss. This song drips with nostalgia and a sweet sadness.

[@John_Chu]

Mandolin.

[@Mikey_Sea]

It's mind boggling how much great music came out of the 70's.

[@justsomeguy820]

Isley Brothers version was a cover. A really good cover, and you probably heard their version first.

[@ChirumboloFilm]

My mom loved these guys and took me with her when they played the arena in our town. I saw them play live which tells me that I’m old. That wasn’t where I thought this comment was going.

[@ericanderson8886]

Great great harmonies, love this one and their song "Hummingbird".

[@mulatacatachufla]

The studio version is quite superior than this live performance

[@stevenblock9712]

The studio version sounds much better, but it is interesting for "you youngsters" (as Ed Sullivan used to say) to see the singers.

[@pcraig1383]

The Isley Brothers knew a great song when they heard it, that's why they covered this tune. Check it out too!

[@steveh7108]

Mandolin. A piccolo is a wind instrument.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Simon and Garfunkel of the 1970's.The guy with the chat, Jim Seals, just passed away at age 79, about 2-3 weeks ago. These guys were the Simon and Garfunkel of the 1970's. Other Hits included I'll Play For You, We May Never Pass this Way Again, Diamond Girl, The King of Nothing, Hummingbird [Don't Fly Away], Get Closer....

[@tomski120]

Oh dear 😳 you really missed out not listening to the studio version, this sounds like a Cat Stevens tribute

[@Yotraj]

You really should check out the studio version of this song as it's quite a bit better.

[@myownchannel247]

Rest In Peace Jim Seals (guitar,vocals), he passed just recently and their music is due for a revival , hopefully

[@scottcooker8141]

He's playing a mandolin

[@dggydddy59]

This is fine. But the recorded version is better. Maybe their greatest tune is "Hummingbird", in which case you must play the recorded version because it's so perfect!! Seals just died last week I believe, so R.I.P.

[@bryanforis1839]

They great live in front of people don’t matter they great

[@johnharris7432]

Mandolin they also sing diamond girl.

[@curtisslmccray7430]

the isleys brorthers done an version of this song.

[@BobSingerDaGunslinger]

He's playing a small mandolin.

[@carolgordon4785]

Jimmy* & Dash are two of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet aside from being very gifted musicians. At the time of this song my moth.in.law was their road mgr.. I got to meet them several times. Formally and informally.They a couple of hit albums with several hit singles..including Diamond Girl, Hummingbird, We May Never Pass this Again..among others..Their music was inspired by their spiritual influence..the Baha'I Faith..* Jimmy passed away a few years ago. Rest In Peace/Paradise bro....His brother is a founding member of the duo England Dan & John Ford Coley..I think you previously recated one of their songs also...Love what you do..🎶

[@garya7893]

This song makes me wanna take a ride by the lake

[@MsMpuckett]

The small stringed instrument is a mandolin. R.I.P. Jim Seals❤️

[@fredkrissman6527]

This live performance is an "unplugged" version of the tune. I saw the more electric version in concert in the mid-70s, while the studio original is even better IMO. I thought it was interesting that you seemed to warm right up to the song upon recognizing having heard it before Angela!

[@randallbundy108]

That's a Mandolin

[@frankpentangeli7945]

That small instrument is a mandolin. A piccolo is a tiny flute. It's nice to see the song performed live but you should listen to the original studio version ... it's way better in my view.

[@DayOneReacts]

A mandolin! I thought that a piccolo was a plucking instrument. Thank you for the info!

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

It's a mandolin.

[@davidmugford8872]

Can always count on you for great reactions and songs, I always feel calm watching you react

[@jediwalker2010]

My favorite summer song-just in time for the summer solstice ☺️

[@michaelgoldberg7127]

R.I.P. Jim Seals. They had several great songs. Try Hummingbird and East of Ginger Trees.

[@SuperFlanders123]

Takes me back to when I was growing up...

[@t.r.1708]

Thx! That’s a mandolin! A piccolo is a small flute! They had their own sound! “Hummingbird” is another!

[@TristramAtkins]

Please react to Paradise Road by a group called Joy. It's a South African song from 1980. The song is about hope.

[@paulhackett3836]

This is great stuff and there is so much more out there and a lot of hidden gems. Thanks to whoever recommended this and listen to Diamond Girl.

[@NoirL.A.]

i believe the cover version of this tune that you referred to that you've heard before was by TYPE O NEGATIVE. not MM.

[@TallyDrake]

I thought Ladies Night was when you featured female vocalists. I guess that has changed?🤔 Anywise, our class song for the Class of 1976 was We Shall Never Pass This Way Again by Seals and Crofts. Great, poignant song. RIP Jim Seals.

[@quixote6942]

Marilyn's version was good. This Live version is better, But Seals and Croft's Studio version will blow you away! The Studio version uses an Electric Guitar instead of a MANDOLIN (the instrument you asked about). A piccolo is a small flute (higher range).

[@rafaelorantes7185]

Acoustic version, original version, longer and much better!

[@chrisharris6206]

Seals and Crofts , We May Never Pass This Way Again. Please Angela 💕 giggles, can you do Studio not Live , please. Something about Live loses some of the magic that Studio Sounds have thanks 👍♥️.

[@charlenewebb5893]

Memories of being a teenager .What a great time ! He's playing a Mandolin .Don't think Marilyn Mason is doing Seal's and Crofts music ! LOL

[@ronaldstokes4841]

"The Midnight Special'... bring it back, let today's generations see what we had.

[@nigel7719]

Everyone says mandolin . OK. But when I think of a mandolin, I think of Bill Monroe (Bluegrass). So mandolins must come in different shaped bodies then because the body of the instrument played here looks nothing like Monroe's.

[@mofun5315]

Do Rick James and Tina Marie "Happy" The vocal skills will blow your mind

[@rbodee]

Check out England Dan & John Ford Coley doing "Love is the Answer".

[@MrLlk14]

It’s a mandolin. There is a nice song called Mandolin Rain by Bruce Hornsby. The version from the album ‘The Way It Is’ is great

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

I think you mean Type O Negative not Marilyn Manson it’s also been covered by The Isley Brothers, Jason Mraz and George Benson & Al Jarreau.

[@gaylegreene]

I had just started high school. 🌞🌬💨 I can smell incense Mary Jane ✌️

[@verribarry]

I think you're thinking about Type O Negative instead of Manson.

[@adamwarlock3530]

That's sad that you knew the type o negative version before this one. Something I wouldnt want to admit. It is hard not to hear this on rock radio in the '70s thru today. Your personal knowledge of popular music must be very limited.

[@annewoodard6803]

I will stand by my feelings on Midnight Special - never listen to a song for the first time on Midnight Special. The sound quality will always be inferior to the recorded version. We stayed up to watch Midnight Special because we would never be able to see a band live, touring was for the big cities. The sound quality is iffy, but we were already fans of the song. ❤️😁

[@ccth22]

This is interesting because sometimes I’m in the mood for the original version by Seals & Croft. Other times I’m in the mood for the Isley Brothers version because Chris Jasper’s arrangement and keyboard work adds another element to this masterpiece🎼

[@gavinmcleod7446]

Studio recording over live performance all day long - great vocals but hollow compared to the studio version….loved this jam growing up .

[@mikeferris408]

Another massive hit that was out when i was just a lil snapper head... this is 1 of them songs that made me pay attention to the lyrics. Its why my love is music, n im still married to melody! Im a musician as well. 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@mikeburnett1211]

Listen to the song Ruby Jean & Billie Lee by these guys. It is a song about their wives. Ruby is Jim Seals wife and Billie is Dash Crofts wife.

[@johneldridge8678]

Just an incredible song!!! GREAT harmonies. Excellent reaction!!!

[@tonyherrera2570]

Studio version is waaaay better. Mandolin is the name of the instrument you couldn’t think of and Diamond Girl is another song of theirs that’s worth a listen (studio version).

[@hapa817]

The Isley Brothers do nice cover of this also, actually that's who I thought you were thinking of when you recognized the song.

[@DJKhaos06]

The studio version is with the backing instruments does this song a little more justice and The Isley Brothers version (which was released in 73 a year after the original) is a classic!!

[@Beatles4Sale.]

Senior class song…lol…😭😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@walterleonard2489]

The mandolin is a nice instrument when used in this jaundra of music.

[@googogler]

mandolin- i know this because over 10 people in the comments says so🌞☮️

[@markvoss6248]

You should listen to Janis Joplin Summertime differt song but also a awesome summer song

[@StevesFunhouse]

You really need to listen to the original studio version. The instrument you are referring to is a mandolin. Also, load THAT version on your phone ... you'll thank me for it !!!

[@djjonosborn1531]

Angela - I have lived a while and seen some beautiful women. But my god you are stunning. I love you baby.

[@sharkmedia5969]

The cover was Type O Negative, not Marilyn Manson

[@J3scribe]

Darrell Crofts is playing the electric mandolin.

[@davidcollver6155]

1972 started out a very bad year. Loss of a young cousin to brain tumor couple years younger than me. Then car accident of other relatives same day. Anyway mainly got to listen to this in my early teens later on always love this song. Some songs don't deserve to be covered by anyone else this is one of them.

[@onsesejoo2605]

It is mandolin, the common 8 - string version. The strings are tuned in pairs to G, D, A, E.

[@paulfrederick8832]

Love ur channel ur a beautiful awsome person

[@geoffw913]

There's sometimes the original that 30+ generation never realised was out there...

[@psongman3355]

Simple, I don't like this version, one of the first times I have ever mentioned this, but keep on, keeping on!!

[@danhkom9703]

Wow amazing! all acoustic. Just the two of them sounds amazing and the harmonizing.

[@jackieblue7591]

First Love by Seals and Crofts. That's a good one!

[@bobdavidson2454]

Eva Cassidy Over the Rainbow

[@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time]

Losing My Religion (R.E.M.) -also uses what is called a Mandolin.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

This is good, but because of the technology constraints of that time the recorded version is better.

[@jose1jovita2]

Summer breeze with Jim seals and dash croft the distinctive sound is a kids toy piano they used

[@59elgreco]

They wrote and recorded the song in 1972 and the Isley Brothers covered it a year or 2 later. Many others have covered it also!!
