The Revivalists - "Wish I Knew You" (Live at WFUV)

[@tat2rose210]

I wish I knew you guys when I was young, I am 80 years old and enjoying every song. I found you by accident while looking at AUSTIN CITY LIMITS. KEEP IT COMING

[@bb734b]

tat2rose ACL last night as well. Please keep on keeping on. 66 and feeling the groove

[@ronaldsommer1939]

My wife is 75. She just discovered them and can't get enough. Especially Wish I knew you.

[@pamelajordan2890]

70 I love everything about this song...I may be old but I'm still here..the body gets old ..music keeps our brains young

[@bloopyscoopy3141]

My kid is a stage hand at the outdoor pavilion in Hamilton, OH--David Shaw's hometown. David Shaw will be there this afternoon!

[@duaxsonespinoza2408]

Hi there, I feel happy you enjoy this type of music at your age. Good music is timeless, I listen music from all times enjoying lyrics and melodies, have a great holiday time!!!

[@cristinasaid4499]

How come this song hasn't gone famous. It is tremendous. It's music at its best

[@MsGuerita38]

I'm sharing the shit out of it here in South Africa so these guys get some recognition... so deserved, they're flippin awesome!

[@GBaltuff]

"I wish I knew you when I was young" is popular bumper music on some radio programs. And it took me 6 months to find the whole song on KZbin. I think more people like it but just don't know who sings it. This is a fantastic song, and I wish I WERE still young!

[@Keenway]

Because the world nowadays likes shit music not talented bands like this, that's why

[@bridgetriley8242]

I blast it in my car and drive drive drive....

[@bridgetriley8242]

Gretchen Baltuff 100 percent

[@JB-cd7bj]

Where the hell have I been? 5 years old and I’m just hearing this... excellent!!!!! Perfect!

[@martinjubb9470]

I just heard it today on the "muzak" at work. I had to get home to listen for 20 more times. Absolutely Perfect. Reminded me of early Stones.

[@scotarg1973]

To be fair,vthe song is 5 years old too so you were just a baby back then. I admire your incredibly mature taste in music at such a young age! Stick in there son, you'll go far. 😎🤔

[@alicewoodard2373]

Try modern rock/ Alternative setting

[@chop345]

This version beats the hell out of the radio version by far!

[@edissanicolas-huntsman8918]

Yes, agreed. That's how live music is!

[@ElishaPercival]

Amen

[@mellisaearp6819]

That's what I was thinking🤔 alil faster tempo here!?!? Plus for a minute he looks like the lead singer for COLDPLAY?! U can correct me all u want, all I'm saying is he looks like someone else💜

[@vincentwhitley8197]

I judge talent by how well it's done live.

[@chop345]

@@vincentwhitley8197 exactly! Me too! And this is exactly. That drummer is on point man!

[@rodolfochavez5994]

For my sons 8th birthday he told me he wished that god would make me a little boy same age as him so we could be best friends. I pray that his wish comes true. I love you Fernando.

[@ReynoldsAnne-f8l]

You're his best friend.

[@kevk741]

This goes to show you who’s the audiophile and who is not. Studio LP is fine, but this version is so clean and LIVE. How could you NOT like this?? Shaking my head. I LIVE for versions like this from ANY band. Sounds so sweet on my system, sound stage image, the works. You don’t get that from a radio edit.

[@ridgedbullet2420]

Same here. I'm always watching vids over my phone but connected to my system as well and holy. They got their stuff together. Super clean

[@asdasd-rp9hx]

hey nerd you don't have to be an audiophile to prefer this over the radio edit.

[@amantedelcane420]

Right on 👍

[@fishheds]

The staging is really good. Long live Pioneer. Especially mine.

[@lucifig_prime]

Yes, true audiophiles always get their preferred tracks from KZbin.

[@lpnnine4596]

62 years old...... I wish I knew you when I was young.... Thanks "Revivalists"!!!

[@anitaastorga1789]

Wish I knew of this Band 10 years ago. Better late than never. Makes this old rock and roller young again!

[@t1harby]

What a tight rhythm. I love when i can hear each instrument

[@dawntimmerman5279]

I'm 63 and a great grandma and this is a rockin song, Love It.

66 years old...........I wish I knew you when I was young....

[@pamc3338]

Yes I'm 64 and it hit me too.

[@1968ciaran]

[@jaymes7521]

62... I totally agree. Great funky tune.

[@donnan.8354]

me too 66

[@tommy4754]

70 this July and this is a great tune

[@ciaohoney54]

David Shaw is a Ohio-born musician and lead singer of the Revivalists, a New Orleans-bred band that not only revives the soulful sounds of the city, but continues to reinvent those sounds year after year with their genre-spanning musical talent.

[@IntheBay85]

I have watched like 50 versions of this song live, and this is my favorite.

[@jamiebutton4458]

Agreed. The deep baseline at the intro and the clarity of each instrument is amazing.

[@randyhill9849]

I am 70 and I am very much loving this band never heard of them until recently

[@akilae3638]

That Saxophone solo was killer!

[@joanjohnson6118]

Love the sax!!

[@carlospadilla6575]

💯 rock!!!

[@davehagerty100]

REAL FUCKING MUSIC!!!! Who knew? Spine tingling sax solo! Don't let these guys fade away as a 1-hit wonder PLEASE!!

[@azakayen1268]

Check out It Was A Sin. Amazing song. These guys don't be a one hit wonder-- the mainstream may forget about them, but they won't fade.

[@CarolCorder-nz3ln]

@@azakayen1268. Super group ??? 🌹🫶🏼♥️

[@commonsense.1014]

that voice that sound, it seems so unreal coming from that person, from that band. but i just found this band and wow. such beat, such rhythm, such voice. blew me away.

[@ciaohoney54]

KEEP COMING BACK FOR THIS SONG, JAZZY UPBEAT- SAX, VOICE, KEYBOARD- GUITAR, I'M SO IN LOVE !!! COME TO CALI :) XOX

[@billandlaurierock4729]

He sounds better live than radio which is already super impressive. Love this

[@lombaxmike]

I can listen to that bass all day. Dudes killin it.

[@danielmuller8042]

This song is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard! Big respect those guys!!! You should also check their videos live in the jamvan

[@rudybernard9149]

[@lozzabool]

Couldn’t agree more, I’m 65, followed all music and this is up there for number one!

[@deniste929]

Daniel Müller 😎😎😎

[@mtpockets7352]

I heard it once .and a thousand times in my head

[@GBaltuff]

I tried to explain to a friend that I find their music so compelling, but I couldn't describe it. To me, it's the lyrics, the instrumentals, the singing and so much more. She knows music and I had hoped she'd clue me in on the possible why, the chords, refrains, ?, etc.

[@katgreene4116]

my guess is the bass! some bands underappreciate that the bassist can do more than a simple refrain and their bass plays more than the same simple chord progression, it's treated fairly like an active instrument in the band

[@janisgreen117]

This band,arrangement, stage presence....unbelievable & fantastic!!! Music at its very best!!@

[@stevestonehill4739]

Real music from real artists. These guys are great.

[@deeeeeeps]

Hearing that bass line makes me young again.

Fuck yeah, Its songs like these that create moments so good they make your whole week golden.

[@martinjubb9470]

Absolutely perfect. Please don't take offense, but I was blown away to see a group of white guys. Best R&B act I've heard in a long time. Kinda funky like early Stones. Beautiful.

[@cjw2007pti]

I heard this song today in a grocery store today. That's what brought me here.

[@martinjubb9470]

For me "muzak" at work. Where have I been this whole time. Just guess it doesn't fit in today's pigeonhole music. Too bad. Incredible.

[@Alpawolfalex]

They pour their souls out when they make music...wow, love it

[@scotarg1973]

Love the absolute passion and commitment the lead singer has, singing the feeling so that we feel the singing!

[@johnnyboync1]

the best version of this song for sure!

Came back to test revived headphones and remembered that a skilled sound engineer recorded this great song. Such clean lines on everything, the bass, the sax, the super crisp drums. Awesome!

[@riland2009]

You shine like a star You know who you are You're everything beautiful She's hot, hot like the sun The loneliest one Still everything beautiful Well I'll be god damned You're standing at my door We stayed up in the city Until the stars lost the war So Friday night, holy ghost Take me to your level Show me the one I need the most I need the most I wish I knew you when I was young We could've got so high Now we're here it's been so long Two strangers in the bright lights Oh I hope you don't mind We can share my mood yeah Two strangers in the bright lights I wish I knew you I wish I knew you Oh I wish I knew you when I was young Truth, it's all that you need You bury that seed It's everything beautiful And that sound comes from the underground It's all inside you now It's everything beautiful But what you, what you, what you, what you running from? And they got, they got, they got, they got you on the run? So Friday night Holy ghost Take me to your level Show me the one I need the most I need the most I wish I knew you when I was young We could've got so high Now we're here it's been so long Two strangers in the bright lights Oh and I hope you don't mind We can share my mood, yeah Two strangers in the bright lights I wish I knew you I wish I knew you Oh I wish I knew you when I was young Maybe we can share my mood Hmm hmm hmm Maybe we can share my mood Hmm hmm hmm Maybe we can share my mood Hmm hmm hmm I wish I knew you when I was young We could've got so high Now we're here it's been so long Two strangers in the bright lights Oh and I hope you don't mind We can share my mood, yeah Two strangers in the bright lights I wish I knew you I wish I knew you Oh I wish I knew you when I was young

Just heard this song at Easter States Exposition(“Big E”) in West Spfld., Ma( biggest fair east coast) blaring from speakers at a “Corvette” exhibit! I am 69 but “danced around that exhibit” ( mentally) but did do a “little bop” lol! here & there! I went crazy over this song & I love music but don’t recall ever hearing this song or have ever heard of this song. My husband collected music from ‘50’s up to ‘90’s ( hobby) & we sold music to Radio stations, DJ’s yrs ago (in the 70’s & 80’s )record collectors( we”set up at music shows” as hobby, selling to many actual groups that did songs..) but I never recall this fantastic song. My husband & our sons heard it...with us there at fair, but not I! It is October 11th, 2019 but I went crazy over this song and band! I had to research it & it wasn’t by the song wasn’t by the man my husband thought either( sounded like him)! I can’t believe I never heard this song before & I love the poignant words to this song especially (“ OHHH.... TO CAPTURE THOSE SPECIAL YRS WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AGAIN....A MAGICAL TIME FULL OF UNENDING POSSIBILITIES!!”) but I also absolutely love the uplifting music & beat! I immediately had to research this song & so glad I found it! Amazing song with amazing band! It would be great if all radio stations suddenly “rediscovered this song & band( as one comment said below, that their station did) & started giving it airplay time! Love this!

[@jsjs71]
