[@ginalittlefield5928]

So many years ago. Listening here in January 2025😊

This song brings back warm memories of carefree days in high school, and at the beach. RIP Jimmy Seals. Your music is very special to me.

The best of times

Jim Seals doing Tuvan/overtone throat singing! As if our minds weren't already blown by this amazing man's talent. Still so sad that he's left us behind on this crazy planet, but at the same time I sure hope he's moved on to better things. Thank you for sharing this video!

The rhythm section to this song is great, and so are the harmonies

[@gregoryyoung8819]

Seals and Crofts are absolutely fantastic!

[@stevewoytus5894]

A very powerful duo

[@davidhankins7776]

I was 14 years old and in 8th grade when this was filmed. S & C was a defining band of my generation. The song We May Never Pass This Way Again was the theme of one of our proms in high school. Their songs always make me remember girls I dated back in those days. I'm 65 years old now. It's hard to imagine this video was made 51 years ago. They say that time goes by quickly. Folks, it truly does. Enjoy every moment of life as much as you can. Even great musicians like Jimmy Seals passes away in time.

Yeah that's for sure... nobody escapes life

Awesome, a lot of firepower up on that stage, wow!

[@8lenorman]

Seals and Croft are one of a kind, their music is unique❤

[@danielhickmott5800]

Saw them in concert in ‘75, great show. Jim Seals played about 7 instruments very well. Dash Croft’s voice was so clear. Great duo.

[@patpolk2751]

You should hear Seals and Crofts 2. Their descendents, continuing the music

[@robertcowart1]

That chord sequence at the end under the "don't fly away" is absolutely beautiful. It strikes me right to my core. These guys were brilliant!

[@garyweinstein7387]

Heartwarming to find other fans here. We are! Timeless love for this music, these guys…

[@JusticeRyan-n6d]

I really miss those carefree days in highschool listening to groups like seals and crofts and america my 2 favorite groups god i miss the 70s music.😊

Nice to know others are interested in this beautiful music 🎶 🎵

[@karencloud5106]

Loved these guys since 1970’s my favorite duo, Rip Jimmy Seales

[@santiagoabalos7564]

Jim Seals played a mean fiddle! RIP Jim. I saw Seals and Crofts at the Berkeley Community Theater back in the 70s. ☮️

[@john110960]

Great live version of this song. Great vocals and a solid performance from the musicians.

[@good-bye_blue_sky]

Absolutely love this song!! The changes in tempo and rhythm just BEAUTIFUL!!

[@joeyfourpaws5594]

One of the most underrated duos!

[@classicrockstation]

Seals & Crofts were a musical gem, man, look this concert! Look this band! David Paich, Jeff Porcaro and Louie Shelton, the guitarist behind "Lionel Richie's Hello", wonderful!

[@GuiseleBarrantes-ey5yi]

Amo esta canción y a estos hombres ❤❤❤❤

[@CesarwalterRuizValdez-q9z]

Yo también la Amo por que soy Bahai tengo una anécdota con ellos cuando era Adolecente estaba de moda una canción de ello llamada brisa de verano y la transmitían mucho por la Radio 📻 yo no se mucho inglés pero esa canción me trasmitir mucha paz qué sorpresa la mía que al profesar la misma religión de ellos me entero qué son Bahais y me gustan más aún sus canciones es cierto lo que dicen que la música contiene un idioma universal aunque aunque no entiendes el idioma permites lo que trasmiten .

Unreal Tuvan/overtone!!! that was awesome!

I’ve always loved these guys!

A very young 19 year old Jeff Porcaro on drums. Many people don't realize that not only was he Totos drummer, but performed with many other musicians.

[@deborahgilliland1804]

David Paich is on here also on piano and keyboard. Both were the founding members of Toto but wrote and performed with numerous others.

[@audreydakin8130]

Paich & Porcaro we’re amazing talents!

[@deborahgilliland1804]

@@audreydakin8130 they all are. I've been listening to the solo music both Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams have put out and it's really good. They have all worked with so many artists

The Bass bounces all over this song. Great tune... about Buddhism.

[@nicholasbrowning4558]

Not about buddhism at all. Seals and crofts followed a different religion that does not embrace reincarnation.

[@SuperFlanders123]

@@nicholasbrowning4558 You're right. It was the Ba Hai faith.

[@daciefusjones8128]

I got so mad when the 8 track player ate this tape. I still have the cassette tape and the CD but between the 8 track and the cassette was about five years.

[@gmajorspresents]

Their faiths welcomed all faiths . In the Bahai religion drugs and alcohol are a no no . In addition anger , hypocrisy, prejudice and jealousy are forbidden. They are advocates for world peace . These 2 made beautiful music together.

Throat singing is cool

[@christopheralonge7758]

They sound exactly the same live or on an album

[@lindaregelean8015]

Wonderful! What is the date/venue on this? I see a trombonist too. Is Bobby on flute some? I have not seen this particular video before, thank you for posting!

[@patbuzby968]

Bobby Lichtig played flute on some studio tracks. Live I think he played bass and they got someone else on flute.

[@lindaregelean8015]

@@patbuzby968 Wondered why the full list of musicians left some out🙃

[@brainscott8198]

Probably, mid-1973. "Hummingbird" entered the charts in March, and peaked at #20, around May of 1973...it was on their set list for sure during this tour, which was only 4 cities. They only did 3 or 4 city tours from 1972 to 1977. In 1973, they played Roosevelt Univ.,Chicago; Mt. Pleasant, Mich., Saratoga Springs, NY, and back to Springfield, IL.

[@lindaregelean8015]

Not Bobby on bass here
