Some ppl just don’t understand he was not even 20 years old and he was a beast I mean truly amazing ❤

[@dianestrauss9699]

Excellent point. I was astounded when I did the math and realized how young he was. In an interview he said he was 16 when he toured the UK with the Rolling Stones in 1966. This means he was 18 when he toured with Cream in 1968, and 19 in 1969 when he toured the US with the Rolling Stones. Teen prodigy.

Soooo sooo good ❣❣❣❣❣

[@bobskarratt8724]

This guy should have been a SUPERSTAR !!

[@dianestrauss9699]

@bobskarratt8724 You mentioned earlier that you were in Peter Jay's band. We'd love to hear more about this, if you wouldn't mind sharing.

he turned down being led zep singer he didnt give a shite or want it. single handedly made brits not gay and saved their sad island

[@gonzoexpress9885]

Arguably the greatest vocalist of his generation and just a lovely bloke. God bless the great Terry Reid.😊

[@dianestrauss9699]

Agree wholeheartedly

[@thomasritter8955]

I saw Terry Reid for the very first time open for Cream at Madison Square Garden in 1968. I was so impressed & told all of my friends about him. He was truly great! My best friend who was a lead singer & guitarist for his band fell in love with his music & started performing some of his songs. I still play “Without Expression” all of the time.🎸🎤👍🏻

[@dianestrauss9699]

My experience was similar to yours. I saw him open for the Rolling Stones in 1969 and was blown away by his music. Terry keeps his fans long-term, doesn't he! There is much more Terry on my KZbin Page, check it out.

[@stevelowrey2932]

Right On ✊🏼 not many people remember or even know who he is.

[@gonzoexpress9885]

Terry, just one of those genius rare birds. Glad to have discovered his music. A true legend.

[@dianestrauss9699]

100% right about that!

[@peterharvey4151]

Terry Reid..unbelievable, bloody awesome..now I know what Jimmy Page saw..

[@wannabuyabuppy]

I got to know the drummer, Keith Webb, when he still lived in Stafford in the UK where I currently live where we chatted, drank, smoked and played records he featured on through the night, Flamboyant here whilst in person he was modest and extremely enthusiastic about his time as part of Terry Reid's band. Sadly Keith passed on in 2007 in sunny Spain and I saw his last gig in the UK before he left at a little known pub known as The Crown in Aston near Stone where I lived at the time. Keith used to play drums for open microphone sessions on a Sunday in a pub in Stafford, The Nag's Head, way back in the eighties that was run by his family. Keith's drumming background was jazz so he was more than qualified to do a lot more than you see and hear here and it's worth checking out what he did with his band, Paladin with Peter Solley who is featured here on Hammond.

[@dianestrauss9699]

What! How amazing! Thank you for sharing your experiences with the great Keith Webb. In the few pieces I've listened to him on, he is rock steady all the way. I'm happy to hear that he spoke well of playing with Terry and company. I have vague memories of him onstage in 1969 when they opened for the Rolling Stones in Boston. I did wonder what broke the band apart, as the four of them put out a great sound. If you scroll down on this page, Keith's brother Julian Webb has commented here, with a bit of a conversation that followed about Keith's jazz career.

[@wannabuyabuppy]

@@dianestrauss9699 Thanks for that and here's a nice juicy bit of trivia I got from Keith himself. As I was looking through his record collection I noticed he had The Fast lady film theme tune amongst his collection on 45 which was a Norrie Paramor composition and featured his orchestra on so I asked Keith about it and he told me there and then that this was the very first recording that Keith was featured on. Look up the film The Fast lady that starred Stanley Baxter and Julie Christie, amongst others.

[@blossie33]

Sadly I read Pete Solley passed away in November 23 😔 I remember seeing him with Chris Farlow's band The Thunderbirds. RIP

[@dianestrauss9699]

@@blossie33 Yes, I did hear that, just recently. Such a sad loss. Thanks for sharing this info, for others who were unaware.

[@wannabuyabuppy]

@@blossie33 So sad to learn this and thanks for the update. Terry would be upset to learn this too because of his original band that supported The Rolling Stones on their first tour he's the only member alive but Lee Miles joined them later and Lee still looks healthy as does Terry.

[@sixfoursoul2538]

This is incredible! And that band is sick asf!

[@chuckpotockimusic2288]

When both Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple want you to front them, you know you've really got something great going on, and this vid proves it! Just imagine what either one of those bands would've sounded like with Reid singing...🎤🎸👊🔥

[@bradatube]

not to mention a second guitar player!

[@nancyhighlands9059]

Glad he didn't join those bands but remained the 👑 solo artist he was meant to be !

[@centrasseptyni8277]

How do you know if that would be no clash of personalities and ruined everything?

[@chuckpotockimusic2288]

@@centrasseptyni8277 In the case of Led Zeppelin, Page actually wanted a 2nd guitar in the band; but with Deep Purple, Blackmore was adamant from the get-go that he didn't want another guitarist, Reid would've sang only.

Diane Strauss so I am wondering where you found this?

[@dianestrauss9699]

@@GoodGigsVids I was looking for an audio recording from Boston 1969, where I first saw him. I connected with a collector in Maine, who sent me Boston's audio plus this wonderful two-song video on DVD.

[@benstephen]

Ah I see you bought this recording, that's cool anyway 😀

[@dianestrauss9699]

Benjamin Stephen, you are correct, this and Superlungs are not my recordings. I do believe Terry is aware of my KZbin channel so I'm assuming he has seen my postings of his music. He's such a wonderful performer. Are you from Terry's hometown?

[@benstephen]

@@dianestrauss9699 Yes, I am from Cambridge and live in Earith, Cambridgeshire, Terry's mother Grace lives in Bluntisham, the next village along, Terry grew up there. Hopefully the Superlungs film that was started a few years ago, will be completed one day. I was overjoyed when I got to know Terry's music, then Terry & Grace, he is such an important music character and very warm. Terry lives in Palm Desert, I hope you can catch his shows. Best wishes Ben ✌😊👍

[@dianestrauss9699]

You are so right, besides being a wonderful performer, he is also very warm, sociable, and kind to his fans. How nice that you've been acquainted with him and his mother, right nearby you. We've been fortunate to have caught several of Terry's shows in 2018 and 2019 in the Hudson Valley area of New York. Take a look at my KZbin home page and you'll find about twenty more videos, recorded by yours truly. kzbin.info/door/1rVO8kNONYD7AKgCqEYPewvideos?view=0&sort=p&flow=grid

I prefer Terry Reid to Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. No, he didn’t go on to the same success as them. But imo he’s a better quality then those bands, as great as they are. Just my opinion.

Wish He would hook up with Jimmy-John Paul, and Jason and do some Zeppelin tunes just to hear what it might have sounded like--

[@gabrielbirdsong3120]

Sound familiar?? Led zeppelin... song stealers. Crosby stills nash... image and song stealers... Wanna hear the original stairway to heaven riff? Listen to seed of memory. Whose vocals match Robert plant and Janis Joplin? Terry Reid. So . When you hear Robert plant and Jimmy page fo their classic vocal lead duel off, dont you ever wonder why they really never put together a dual off where robert mimics every note subsequently?(its always chopped up and incomplete sounding) Listen to terry reid in this song, you'll see how its done.

His studio recordings don’t do him justice. Reid was much better live.

The man who wrote this song would be turning over in his grave if he heard this version of the song because of how Terry Reid butchered the lyrics, how do I know this you ask, the man who wrote this song was my father and he was very proud of the lyrics, and Terry stylized the song so much that you don't even understand the words. my favorite versions of this song are by Ray Charles kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3XMnIBth9Ktl80 and Edgar Winter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHXXg5eln9eSfNU

[@dianestrauss9699]

I can't argue with you, you know best how your father would feel. Thank you for your comments and insight. And thanks to your father for this marvelous song. Ray Charles' version is spectacular, no doubt about it. This is one of the songs I heard when I first saw Terry in 1969. I loved his bluesy voice, so even though you don't think much of this version, Terry's interpretation of the song holds a special place in my heart.

[@dianestrauss9699]

For those who may be interested, the composer is Roy Alfred.
