I saw them at backstage at LA, they played inside the dressing room to warm up before the show, we could listen them outside the dressing room like if we were at a party garage band…I saw in the middle 70’s Savoy Brown with Kim Simmons, great English blues at sunset Blvd. The ladies loved his long blonde hair.

​@phillipmarlowe0525 according to Wikipedia Jackie Lynton joined September 1972 and left late 1974. This is from June 1973 according to the description. If it isn't Jackie Lynton then something is wrong somewhere. It also sounds like his voice.

@@walkingtheboogie It's definitely Jackie! Can't mistake him! Great guy . . .

Gotta love an actual live performance from that era. Fun stuff! Love the “Inside Lookin Out” album.

[@beastieboy9286]

One of the greatest!

[@thegoodkingtony]

The first song I ever jammed to was Louisiana Blues and was a staple for many of my garage bands...Great seeing this band again!

[@clintlarraux6782]

Same here…. You hear me!🙂

[@christophernealcooper1077]

Well that's Different! This is my very first time listening this Group!!

[@profitnadeem]

That sounded so soulful and tight! Gonna have to delve into their catalog. 🎶🔥

[@jtbkilmartin9110]

Fantastic stuff. I used to listen to this in my schools art classes. Brilliant stuff!

[@frederickacerra7766]

Loved this band . Someone said the best band that no one knows . Street corner talking . Still one of my favorite records

[@alkholos]

Street Corner Talking was a fine album. But their very best, IMO, was Raw SIenna.

[@JohnMiller-oz7gv]

I love this record.

[@josephrz6230]

When I was 21 in 1972, this album Street Corner Talkin' was well liked by me and my gang.

[@RosannaMahon]

Koko Taylor's Wang Dang Doodle amongst others

In 1976 I bought a "68" Z-28 Camaro, owner left a cassette in the stereo...Savoy Brown- Wire Fire....Wow!

[@Mike-ik9qt]

I loved the album Raw Sienna!

[@robinjoynes1040]

If you look at the album cover opened up it says Raw Sienna and other Shades of Brown. Excellent album. Love Chris Youlden's voice. To bad he left the band to go solo I believe

[@joeawilson1570]

[@czarevich]

Whoa!!!!!

[@markMangoMan6482]

I saw this band,who were great with Fleetwood Mac and Long John Baldrey in Vancouver B.C. Canada in a 3000 seat venue called The Gardens and I can honestly say it was one my top 3 Concerts of all the bands I was 15 in 1972

[@raymccranie7872]

I just love it!!!❤❤

[@allenpitchamazingentertainment]

What i love so much about the music of this era is the musicians were committed and talented- played and wrote great tunes and looked SO COOL at the same time! How blessed were we to grew up when this music was 'new' and original. Saw Savoy Brown many times over the years and always was a joy to see the live Kim Simmonds was one of the great live guitarists and even got to meet Tony Stevens at a blues fest- Super nice fellows on and off stage as well.

[@claybladzik6755]

ONE of the Best.

[@lawrencecarver4233]

Back in 1973 I was living in Florida in Pinellas Park by Clearwater. One night I was laying in bed with my Koss headphones on it was after midnight. I was introduced to Savoy Brown. From that day on ward I was into blue. The next friday night I couldn't wait for the radio show to come. It was the anousment for a Concert. At Tampa Stadium Deep Purple with Richie Blackmore, Savoy Brown, Blue Oyster Cult, ZZ Top, and Billy Preston who canceled. What an amazing concert

[@JE-western-rider]

Around that time there was a radio station out of Jacksonville that played a full album every midnight. That was an incredible thrill hearing incredible songs for the first time.

[@chrispickett3092]

Man i just had a flashback...... Nuff Said

[@JohnnyJimsAZ]

Is this the part where Christopher Walken comes in and says “Boys I think I’ve got hand clapping fever! What we need here is a little more hand clapping!” Lol

[@thomasfoss9963]

One of the funniest SNL sketches featuring Blue Oyster Cults "Fear the Reaper"!!!!

[@allanpeck8523]

Actually, a lot less hand clapping would be better. It's very annoying clapping right into the microphone. Give that man a tambourine.
