I’m a 70 year old jazz musician so I’ve been listening to this band since they started. This exact lineup was the best of them all. Lipsius and Halligan were the best arrangers and the rest of the band couldn’t be replaced.
Agreed 100%. By the time they knew they had the "magic secret sauce" they'd lost the recipe. I.E., the recipe being those particular musicians/arrangers. There were talented/gifted later iterations (most impressively, the "New/No" band), but none had the musical fearlessness found on those first four albums.
I am of the opinion that, being in the music biz for 50 years, people's musical IQ has dropped about 30 points in that time. Nothing today compares with this stuff.
Dave Bargerone was ridiculous on trombone and tuba.
When BS&T started out, it was Dick Halligan and Jerry Hyman sharing trombone duties. When David Bergeron came aboard, he took that aspect of the band to a whole other level.
Bobby C is amazing in this cut. His drumming I think is quite underrated. Guy had the chops and is tight.
That's right!
David Clayton Thomas said BS&T was always Bobby's band. It's easy to hear why.
@Tommy De Martino
Bobby was probably the most under appreciated player of his time.
You do know he ended up doing upper level A&R work for Columbia Records, right?
Buddy Rich once stated that Colomby was the best rock drummer of his era.
Buddy was not noted for handing out compliments..
RIP Dick Halligan.
There were many horn bands at this time. BS&T and Chicago were always compared as both being commercially successful. I always felt Chicago was a Rock/Jazz band and BS&T a Jazz/Rock band. BS&T had players with jazz chops who could play serious jazz in a Brecker Brothers/Dreams kind of way. Bobby Colomby was my favorite drummer growing up along with of course Buddy Rich and later guys like Billy Cobham. Colomby had chops but played very musically. I think he went to college for psychology. So much for racking up debt getting a music degree. 😀
Nick F I couldn't agree with you more. I adore both BS&T and Chicago, but have always been frustrated that people lump them together when they are so fundamentally different. I chalk it up to a lot of rock critics who might be quite discerning about different guitar(s)-bass-drums bands (we'll add in piano/keyboards) but can't seem to distinguish among different combinations of trumpet(s)/saxophone(s)/trombone(s)/flute(s), various brass-heavy genres/subgenres, let alone arranging styles. BS&T was a "pocket big band," with as many as 5 horn players at any given time, including highly-respected jazz soloists like Lew Soloff and Fred Lipsius. Chicago had a perfectly balanced horn trio, rarely straying from trumpet/tenor sax/trombone, with Jimmy Pankow's very distinctive arrangements. Chicago had a genius/force-of-nature guitar hero in Terry Kath, making Chicago much more guitar-driven than BS&T. Chicago had THREE strong lead singers, who also did wonderful vocal harmonies; BS&T had the powerful DC-T with the occasional Steve Katz ballad, and rarely did vocal harmonies. Nearly all of Chicago's music was original; BS&T relied heavily on covers. In sum (and to oversimplify), BS&T was a jazz-rock combo; to paraphrase Walt Parazaider: Chicago was a rock group with horns.
Your editorial was right on target!!
Love this tune. The entire BS&T4 is a masterpiece. These fellas were a tight band.
And one of the things I liked about the "4" album was, they brought back Al Kooper back to help out a bit. And from reading his autobiography - which I highly recommend - he was THRILLED!
Toil and labour on the Ark, Noah, God meant it
Scorn and pity's all the world around, you'll ever know
Rain and thunder in the dark, Noah, God sent it
Sing redemption everywhere you go
Praise the Lord, he has led you, Noah
Thirst and hunger on the rock, Moses, God gave you
Pain and sorrows all the world around, you'll ever know
Fire and fury in the cloud, Moses, God save you
Sing redemption everywhere you go
Praise the Lord, he has led you, Moses
Cold and hungry in the ground, Joseph, God left you
Greed and hatred's all the world around, you'll ever know
Pull your coat of colours round, Joseph, God blessed you
Sing redemption everywhere you go
Praise the Lord, he has led you, Joseph
Oh Joseph!
YES!!! I was at this concert, and not only did Dave Bergeron play a DYNAMITE trombone solo, but Bobby Colomby did EQUALLY DYNAMITE work on drums throughout this song!!! I agree that Fred Lipsius and Dick Halligan were TOTALLY FANTASTIC arrangers, and the rest of the group also turned in EQUALLY OUTSTANDING performances!!! Several years ago, I got to see Lew Soloff perform with the jazz band of a local college. Another OUTSTANDING night of music!!! I wanted to talk with Lew afterward, but he left rather quickly before I could get to the stage area. He was such an AMAZING trumpet and fluegelhorn player, and brought SO MUCH to the group.
What a trombone solo !!! Im breathless !!❤
Very Underrated LP. Would love to hear more from this particular concert.
I've never listened to such an exciting live performance by B, S&T!!!
Amazing!!!
Dave Bargeron solo started 2:54 4:23
One of my favorite BS&T songs. They were smoking hot here.
Best ever trombone solo. BS+T were a superb band.
If this was the Municipal Auditorium, I was there. Dave Bargeron was complete badass.
Ive got chills hearing this... ive seen BS&T in all forms including this line up and this night
they were friggin on fire... oh yeahhhh
💙 Bobby Colomby!💙
Bargeron inmenso.
Wonderful!! Amazing!!!
Great hearing this, as it's just before the band started to dissolve. Halligan, Lipsius, and Clayton-Thomas left within the next year, and by '74, only the drummer and horn player Bargeron remained.
What an amazing drum intro for the album version of Redemption! Since 5 decades I have been unable to figure out what B C was playing.
This solo was and still is WORLDCLASS!
Braviiiiiiiiiiii
Man where do you find these rare live recordings???
Got any more of this show?
Momma Gets High?
@@tomtortolani8082 Perhaps, Gentle Rain!
I never understood the comparison of BST and Chicago. Yes they both have horns... and all other bands have guitar players, key board players and bass players, that doesn't make them the same or even comparable. Do people really have that shallow of an understanding of music?
You're pretty impressed with yourself aren't you?
@@nitetrane98 No, just never thought BST was comparable in any way to Chicago, just because they had horns.
I’m surprised the Conga player and drummer or not in clavé or sync .
That conga player should have never been there , on the original recording it was just a short masterful drum solo
That conga ruined it !!
