Bread - Guitar Man (1972)

[@stevewentworth131]

There will never be another decade like the 70s. Where did all the groups like Bread and Sylistics go? With the exception of singers like Adele, the industry is pretty sad. For those of us who grew up in the 70s, it was a magical time.

[@johndevlin4155]

I agree with your comment about Adele,she is such a depressing singer,making younger people who don't have much confidence, SUICIDAL.

[@lesliefontenelle7224]

My thoughts exactly. These were the best years for original music

[@antoniosassogarciafilho1476]

I completely agree with you, Sir! There will never be another decade like the 70´s... best regards from Brasil

[@EpistemicResponsibility4All]

It's never about the decade, it's about the transition between them, that threshold where the ending of one decade influences the first half of the next, between (approximately it's not a exact science) 65 and 75 which is my favorite 10yr period, great bands started and created great music, the 70s also brought Blondie very different sound and philosophy than Bread, love it or not. It is in this boundary sometimes referred to as “turn of the decade” where the zeitgeist of the outgoing and incoming decades mix, meshing of ideas results in fresh new sounds. Social change and technology usually help this process. It's been happening for centuries. You like the 70s probably out of nostalgia, we tend to like what we grow up with.

[@ts.elliot5870]

It's Sunday morning July 2023 and I'm on a Bread nostalgia marathon. Such good memories, the music holds up 50+ years later!

[@BrendaDick-dc9ef]

O, September, 2023, been a long time and a lot of memories ago.sweet!

Yo tengo 69 años y la música de los 70s me traen muchos recuerdos

[@RonsWorld5]

I was stationed at Minot AFB, North Dakota spending many freezing and lonely nights on the flight line guarding B52s and this song was played a lot on the local radio station. I remember looking up at the black North Dakotan sky which was saturated with stars along with the Aurora Borealis. This song helped get me through those cold nights. It " Kept me goin'" A great song. Great memories.

[@brpoole336]

this is a song that I cannot ever forget..when I was 21 yrs old I contacted bacterial endocarditis and almost died....I spent 2 months in a hospital in Newark and thank God for Dr. Leon Smith who saved my life. My Mom was deathly afraid of driving in a car but she came to see me every day...when I came home the song that was playing in the house was Guitar Man...I will never forget that..

Bread is one of the most unappreciated bands of all time. Their music is fantastic, the dj

[@Seth1Johnson]

This is literally the first song I can ever remember hearing. I remember my dad played if for me in the car one time picking up from school in ‘06, every day after that, I asked him to play the guitar man song. Man this is a classic that won’t ever get old for me❤️

[@pmccachren]

Growing up in the sixties and seventies I never realized how incredibly good so many groups were/are. I was growing up in the golden age of rock n roll. Rock on!

[@Hawken54]

A time when music had expression and no auto-tune needed because artist had a voice.

[@trainwreck8355]

I hadn't heard this song in so long I forgotten how good of a band Bread was.Hearing this was like a blast from the past.

[@goretti-canterburg-rainfor9813]

Oldies but goodies 😊 The 70's and 80's were the best music 🎶. I was very young. Nice music.

Cricket Lee .. you right .. but don't forget the amazing voice also of Dennis Yost ( classic lV )

[@debourg66]

English is my second language, as a child I liked the songs in that language, the only thing I regret is that no longer they make songs like that, they musicians, no longer have the feeling of that time, there is something special in these songs. I think they wont come back again, excellent group

[@MrFrenchwolf]

+Freddy Debourg - I think musicians do . but you won't get these songs on the airwaves these days.

[@debourg66]

maybe people have lost their feelings too

[@WonderWallman]

+Freddy Debourg if you listen to radio you won't hear this. You actually have to search for music like this. It exists but now you have to look harder for it

[@debourg66]

sad but true

They produced some of the best music. This classic never gets old just so much better.

[@escdelesp]

I grew up in the 80s and we had pretty good music but you guys in the 70s REALLY had the best music era of all time. I sometimes cant get over the level of talent that was in the 70s. Even some of our beloved 80s bands like Hall & Oates, Depeche Mode, and The Police started in the 70's...Thanks for the upload-Its the best version Ive found.

[@birengadts548]

[@tomm9860]

Yes we did, and Thank you Vietnam Era music. Old Combat Vet Tom 1970.

[@dunara]

Superb. Always loved the melancholy in that song. Lovely guitar here by a young Dean Parks. The original version had featured lead guitar from the late, great Larry Knechtel. The same man who played piano on 'Bridge over Troubled Water', organ on 'Good Vibrations' and bass on 'Mr Tambourine Man'. Some legacy, eh?

[@clannad99germany70]

Right, a shame, Larry Knechtel plays the bass here, one of the best and most booked session musician then, Wrecking Crew, Simon and Garfunkel, Doors, Association, Fifth Dimension and so much more.

An excellent live version of a great tune by Bread! These guys put out one great tune after another back in the fabulous 1970s! Bravo, David Gates, James Griffin (R.I.P.), Robb Royer, Larry Knechtel (R.I.P.) & Mike Botts (R.I.P.)!

I don't know why but this was always one of my favorite David Gates (BREAD) tunes. I guess the simplicity of the song and the good melody of it. Of course Gate's voice hooked up with this song just, well, WORKS! It's also a common song for many new Guitarist's to learn to play and sing to. Thanks David for the wonderful memories. I would love to see a BREAD reunion tour although I know a few of the members have passed on. A Bread reunion tour would be so awesome. Gates can STILL SING!

[@levis6945]

Hello young people this is what Real music sounds like real talent real musicians who are actually playing their instruments and singing instead of playing with themselves while on stage..

[@joeyricci7168]

The lead guitarist in the yellow and black shirt is the studio legend Dean Parks. He played a vintage triple humbucker rare Les Paul guitar in black (exactly like Peter Frampton’s). The 1972 studio version of this song featured Larry Knechtel playing lead guitar 🎸, as well as bass guitar on the original track. Cool 😎 stuff! Larry played the piano on Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” song, amongst being a member of The Wrecking Crew studio band, which he played on most of The Beach Boys “Pet Sounds” LP, and the legendary unreleased “Smile” LP, along with him playing on so many other bands hit songs since the early 1960’s.....

[@Kbb1957]

I can't believe he's 77yo. He had such a young face back then - thought he was closer to my age. A truly great song-spinner. His writing and delivery sucked you in. Sounds simple on the surface, but the musicality is intricate. I know he had a bunch of hits, but he was way too critically underrated at the time.

Thank You GOD for the Gibson Les Paul.
