Terry Reid = LEGEND.

[@gennadicole7102]

It’s crazy how Terry didn’t get the recognition he deserves! He should be mentioned with the greats…his music really got me through some of my darkest days🥹. Thank you Terry for sharing your art and talent with the world. Your music will forever be timeless❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rajm.5819]

This is so true and made me tear up. 🥲🥰

[@johnnyvandutch3080]

I wish that more people knew about this legend! I love Terry Reid! Thanks Joe, thanks Gibson!

[@matthewburkart7718]

Best voice I've ever heard

[@harpothehealer]

Very well said

[@victorlazzlo7626]

For me, Mayfly is a better performed track than Stairway to Heaven. You’ll probably get the basis of that.

[@MrDreadeye]

At my second ever live concert a young unknown Terry Reid opened for Cream at the Baltimore Civic Center. Terry Reid followed by the Moody Blues followed by Cream, except Cream was late so Terry & his band were brought out for a second set. Only problem, as Terry revealed to the audience, they didn't actually HAVE a second set...so we were treated to a repeat of their previous set. And it was killer! The next day I searched high & low for Terry's only LP (in 1968 record shopping options were limited) and miraculously found a copy at E.J Korvettes. 52 years later that record is a "desert island" disc which remains in my regular rotation.

[@debraroszkowski4180]

WOWZA!

[@JP-jy7sk]

What a character Terry is. A treasure.

[@bluespig1]

[@rajm.5819]

Terry Reid has the most beautiful and angelic voice I have ever heard. It is so damn magnetic and addicting to listen to. 😍😍😍

[@moonbeanification]

What a fantastic interview ... I wanted it to go on for hours! ♥♥

[@rexnavarro2918]

Terry always has the best stories...and it's all true.

The Great Terry Reid

[@geruto17760]

Working class hero extraordinaire! What a talker! Lots of fun stories. GREAT!

[@sherirex7177]

What a treasure this interview is. Thank you so much. ♥ Terry Reid.

[@stevecochrane5376]

Terry Reid , International treasure! Rock God and all round wonderful guy. What an inspiring human being. Thank you John for this priceless moment.

[@bobcorbin7545]

Thanks for this, Terry and Joe. Terry, you opened in Chicago at the International Ampitheater in November 1969 for The Rolling Stones. You played first. Then Chuck Berry did a set, and then The Rolling Stones played. It was a Sunday and there was a matinee and an evening show. I had tickets in the 7th row which cost $7.50. Just a great show by all. Thanks. Several months ago I went back and re-purchased your catalogue after watching you, Joe, do a piece about buying Terry’s Tele. Great show. Good memories. Bob Corbin

Terry Reid & Joe Bonamassa, awesome. Cheers Gibson

[@shawncallahan5685]

thank you Rob Zombie for pointing us to Terry Reid. Briiliant.

[@jimwoodard64]

Love this series, Terry Reid's music, and the way Bonamassa interviews his guests.

[@t2tarantula552]

What a nice guy. And a huge talent to boot

[@stephenrich8808]

agree that Terry Reid is a treasure (in the same way as Bernie Marsden) in that he is so approachable, interesting, and worthy of another visit. Thanks Joe!

[@gudgengrebe]

This man is a lovely human being. He’s a new discovery for me. I saw two live versions of ‘Treated Rite’ and I was blown away by by his guitar playing and his soulful, expressive voice. Both versions were different. He has a complex, unique style. I watch those two vids every now and then. It’s always a special experience and I know I’m listening to something special. And now I’ve heard him speaking, I like him even more. He’s a cheerful soul isn’t he! I’d like to hear a lot more from him. His stories are great. He’s truthful and honest. Appreciates other artists as well. If anyone here can recommend songs to me, I’d appreciate it.

[@James_RC]

I discovered Terry through Gibson TV and Joe and I humbly thank you for pointing me towards his music.

[@ColinStuart]

What most people don't realize, is that before we went anywhere, we were first of FANS, and we still relish that in our every days!

[@leescarlett2171]

I’m seeing Terry Reid for my 40th in Oct’23 I can’t wait to say the least 😊😊😊😊🎉❤❤

[@iagobroxado]

I've been a fan for 15 years. Thanks so much for bringing this to us, Gibson.

[@theguitaristas]

Most of my albums weren't released they escaped. Pure class!

[@geo.cgeier3435]

Joe is loving these stories more than we are! Look at him soaking it all in! Thanx for sharing these stories of your life Terry!

[@gogosep]

Talk time with Joe is the best time

[@carrollcaldwell4570]

Saw and heard Terry Reid at the 2nd annul Atlanta Pop festival on July 4th 1970 at the Middle Georgia Speedway in Byron, Georgia.

[@stevehowell231]

I love that Terry loves On the street where you live!

[@swapmeetlus4096]

I met him at Joshua tree at his show, guy got me a beer for free! Super nice man

[@patrickbell1277]

Terry is a singer who can pick you up and shake you, or brings tears to your eyes Comment by Bailey Bell

[@christoofart]

Have been a fan since the first time I heard "Bang bang".

[@JoyDivision88]

In my opinion Britain's best singer ever. Chatted with him after a small gig he did and at no time did I feel like I was outstaying my welcome. In fact I ended up having to end the conversation. Bloody great guitarist as well. Criminal when you see the s**te that have made it huge when you compare them to Terry. Ain't No Justice (Shadow).

[@riittahatinen4579]

Thank you JOE❤️ that you do this with Terry Ride🌹Terry is really great guy and you so awesome JOE❤️ Stay safe my Love😍

[@robinmiller7958]

Great interview with one of the greatest singers ever. His bands had a unique sound and those first few albums were full of great tunes, very diverse and still sound fresh today.

[@tjaardtenhove8930]

Rich kid blues, still love it, I bought the album in 1696, it still is one of my favorite albums, great interview Joe !

[@martinj40m]

That must have been one of the very first albums

[@SuperMcabral]

1969. LOL

[@SuperMcabral]

I fell in love with Terry Reid in 1969. I got his first album and had the poster above my dorm bed. I listened to him and followed him till today. I would love for him to come to Wilmington, NC to Wilson Center so more of us could see him live.

[@duanewelsh5611]

Can't beat these first hand accounts of music history. So entertaining. Thanks Terry and Joe most enjoyable! Also thank you for getting the "blender" into the right hands. 😎

[@wizaxed]

To Be Treated Rite on Devil's Rejects soundtrack is a killer tune!!!!

[@clicheguevara5282]

Rob’s soundtracks are always so great.

[@thiagowallkicker7735]

I consider "To Be Treated Rite" one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Terry Reid is one of the biggest unsung heroes in Rock history.

[@brandonwoodson2861]

July was the first song I heard, that inspired me to play folk rock...

[@shawnmcvey7789]

Joe is on the money about Terry and his peers being some amazing singers. I always felt that much like American R&B (which influenced them a lot), a large number of these singers came up in choirs of some kind.

[@robertdecker6010]

If more talented/famous people acted like this guy the world would be better off for it, what a gem

[@peyotepete4903]

I'm lighting up watching this! Cuz I love Joe!

[@DMEB]

What a wonderfully comfortable interview. Time well spent in good company.

[@STETTRACE]

I LOVE this stuff!! Joe just let’s my man talk. Well done

[@MoHippieShoMe]

I love this interview so much! You are both just amazing and we're definitely blessed to have the fabulous Music 🎶 you've given us 💝💯❣️

[@elinachtigall]

A very valuable, interesting conversation ... thank you very much ... I love every documentary by Joe, every interwiev with different musicians, love these beautiful stories ... look at me for hours they calm me down and they exude very positive and pleasant ones energy

[@briancapdevila3155]

What a great guy! Love the stories. Thanks for interviewing him!

[@LukasMatejka-du5hb]

those of you, who haven't heard Terry Reid's solo albums are missing out big time...... his style was like a crossover between Rolling Stones and Jimmy Hendrix...... some of the best blues/acid albums from that era....... amazing songwriter, player and also great voice...... highly recommended

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

What an absolute treat. Thank you.

[@babagadoush1]

Fantastic conversation. Love it when Joe B is involved. You know you’re gonna get some good stuff. Terry is so fun the listen to! Great job Gibson. Nice work on this Mark Agnesi!

[@DLVLOGZ]

Thank you Terry!

[@BateraLab]

Great conversation, Joe is always a great music host! 👍🏻🎸🍊

[@malcomlittle251]

Thank you for interviewing this man. Until the Rob Zombie movie, I never new he existed. Great voice and really great song, Seed of Memory.

[@MrMikepresley]

I like Joes interviews, he knows a lot of people, and he knows guitars/industry.

[@superhijitus8694]

two legends!!

[@ashellofamanformerly]

He is a gem isn’t he. Safe to say I’m crazy about him.

[@gudgengrebe]

Thanks Joe. I think Terry Reid is a great artist. I first saw a clip of him doing treated right on Jools Holland and I was blown away by his soulful, powerful voice and his unusual, captivating guitar sounds. I’ve since found out about his experiences in the music business and his interactions with just about every major artist I’ve ever heard of and then some. I loved listening to his stories. That was enough to blow my socks off, but what impressed me even more is his character. He is so generous with his praise for other musicians and he strikes me as an honest, honourable, caring man. He’s really loveable. So much so, that if he was a puppy or a kitten, you’d want to pick him up and cuddle him 😀 He always comes across that way, always positive and jocular, never bitter, resentful or jealous. Nor is he ever pompous and full of himself like some much less talented people. I enjoyed your interview a lot. You asked great questions and you gave him time to speak. I would dearly love to hear a lot more of his stories and if it’s at all possible I would like you to interview him again. I love listening to people talking about their creative process, even if I’m not a fan of their genre. But music for me is like medicine because it makes me feel better, it inspires my imagination and I can access deeper more, more intuitive and loving emotions if that makes sense. Anyway, thanks so much for agreeing to do this interview series. It’s so much more interesting when a musician interviews other musicians because you can relate much more because of your shared experiences. You are doing a great job! More please!

[@LostMyMojo100]

Fantastic interview!!! Great job Joe!!!

[@johnepperson8867]

If it wasn't for Rob Zombie movies, I would have never heard of Terry Reid. Terry Reid's music is so AWESOME, THANKs Rob !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@micahsalinas8857]

Great interview of Terry.. A class act ...

[@wildatlanticman128]

[@RoseUnseen]

TERRY PLAY THE CASINO AGAIN IN THE CALI DESSERT !! this is my connection to JOE !! I met terry and my friend calls him on the regular ask him how its going , wow !! GIBSON AWESOME ! People are complaining a little to much these days

[@EmmanuelliLive]

Debo decir que me disfrute mucho esta entrevista. Se nota quien entrevista conoce la historia y estudia a su invitado. Terry es una de esas voces enigmáticas e influencia de muchos mas que ahora son más conocidos y quizás no le reconocen tanto mas que el hecho de haber recomendado a Robert Plant a LZ.. Fue una entrevista espectacular, Joe, aparte de ser un fanático es muy respetuoso ante sus maestros. Felicitaciones y gracias por tan buena iniciativa de preservar la historia de la última generación elegante del Rock and Roll.

[@elenaskrypnikova3472]

The Grrreat interview, very interesting conversation of two honorable gentlemen.Agent OOJ is an understanding, friendly and Tactful interviewer. AND !!! What a classy socks Joe has !!!!!!!

How did I miss this! Terry is a hero. Absolute classy master.

[@francoisrousseau7893]
