I was 10 years old in 1967, and as much as I enjoyed The Motown Sound, there was something about that Stax, Volt, Atlantic sound coming out of my AM Transistor Radio that sounded more gritty, dirty, funkier than that other label. It made a young boy jump up and down on his bed to the point that his parents thought he was going into convulsions. No Ma and Pa I was just groovin!. Thank Heavens they didn't have Ritalin back then. That sound was infectious!...Still diggin and dancin to it 57 years later!
@@MrMcgoo1888Earl Palmer was better ,a trained musician who played on most New Orleans hits during fifties before moving to LA and playing drums on many pop hits during sixties as well as film music etc.A legend!
Steve Cropper just playing back up here, another great underrated guitarist. I love his work on Sitting on the Dock of the Bay and the Melting Pot album.
The guys didn't really want to use Marshall amps that's what was available in Europe. They mostly used Fenders,aAmpeg, and Peavey in the studio and in the US
Indeed, but from the days before the name "funk" was applied to R&B. Funk was funky Blue Note jazz, _a la_ Stanley Turrentine, Blue Mitchell, Jimmy Smith, Lee Morgan, _et al._
Got to do it! Eddie Floyd got me in to sound check at the Orpheum in Memphis before the concert celebrating the opening of the Stax museum. It was me & the sound guy. I watched Booker, Steve, Duck, Wayne & Andrew (Memphis Horns) and iconic singers run through rehearsal.
@@danohagan6022 Today I would empty my accounts just to see these guys sit behind their kit drumming away without the addition of all these digital effects.Pure music ,a real tonic.I would start with the simple drumming on Bo Diddley and then move on to Sandy Nelson and Cozy Cole and Earl Palmer,there are many greats.No interest in digital flavoured whatever!
I saw Booker T, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn, Eddie Floyd, Sam Moore and others at a great show at the Town & Country Club in London in the '80s. Dunno what I paid, but it was well worth it!
Back in the nineties I saw the blues brothers gig in Brighton. I suddenly realised that I was seeing a band I'd been grooving to for about 40 years!! There was most of the MGs and Eddie Floyd. It was MAGIC.
Look closer , away from the sax players, DD playing bass,? Steve Cropper on guitar, master of phrasing. Regardless. Not shabby for a bunch of session musos to go it alone. Shifted the planet in musical terms for R@B. And inspired so many others.
I think the Mar=Keys horns on this tour were Wayne Jackson and Andrew Love (aka The Memphis Horns) and Jay Arnold is the second sax - Floyd Neman played baritone and Packy Axton left Stax in '65.
Greedy record labels, internet and mass media under corporate control means they choose what we hear and the majority of the public has literally forgotten the purpose of music as they have never had a chance to experience it for themselves.
The general public stopped going to concerts with musicians and there is no more collective enjoyment..everyone is in their own bubble e.g silent disco.

You may be cool, but you'll never be as cool as this!
Al Jackson was the man on drums...
The greatest according to Steve Cropper
@@MrMcgoo1888 Soooo smooth!

@@smalltalk.productions9977 🤘👊💙
This is the R & B l grew up with. Groove music.
They are knocking this right out of the damn park.
What great gig. Duck Dunn just pops that pocket rhythm section
Oh yeah Booker T and the MGs
Bassist Duck Dunn is having a ball!
High school years. The good ole days!
The Sound of Stax Records. Those guys were rockin it. Booker T & the M.G’s and the Mar-Keys
💯🎼💯
Steve Cropper just playing back up here, another great underrated guitarist. I love his work on Sitting on the Dock of the Bay and the Melting Pot album.
Wow 😊 This is priceless.
OMG this is HOT! I've heard Last Night many times but never actually seen it performed!
Yay, Marshall Stax for Stax sound!
The guys didn't really want to use Marshall amps that's what was available in Europe. They mostly used Fenders,aAmpeg, and Peavey in the studio and in the US
I've seen these Memphis boys play, just so badass.
Excellent !!!
The white sax player is Packy Axton. His mother Estelle and her brother Jim Stewart started Stax
maybe Packy gone by this time.
He was cute as h
Thank you for the information. My favorite blues guitarist Albert King recorded on the
Stax Label. 🎶
This is funky as you-know-what.

What would you pay to go sit in the front row and watch legends like this?

Amazing sound from an amazing line up, was fortunate to see Wayne Jackson & Andrew Love with the Robert Cray Band at Birmingham NEC.

Ooh, my head!
Booker T and the Memphis Group
Sounds were great
Duck Dunn about the coolest bassists,ever!
Packy Axton with the soon to be Memphis Horns and Booker T and the MGs. A lethal combination.
Wow, this is great...
What a lineup 👏 😍
This makes me wish I still had a saxophone
Wow, just Wow.
Classic
that's real History ! This changed all !
TIGHT ! Outta sight! 😊
I think the Mar=Keys horns on this tour were Wayne Jackson and Andrew Love (aka The Memphis Horns) and Jay Arnold is the second sax - Floyd Neman played baritone and Packy Axton left Stax in '65.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I wish this would be the WHOLE revue.
@@tonyrussi7777 I’ve done a lot of it and posted it on here but still some bits to do

Whatever happened to music?
Greedy record labels, internet and mass media under corporate control means they choose what we hear and the majority of the public has literally forgotten the purpose of music as they have never had a chance to experience it for themselves.
The general public stopped going to concerts with musicians and there is no more collective enjoyment..everyone is in their own bubble e.g silent disco.
Quelle est la différence entre les deux groupes ?
From a time when there was a reason to be hopeful
Left to right does anyone know the names pf the 3 sax players?
@@47AndyT it’s all in the description fella 👊
Must have missed that so thanls!@@bluesincolour
Two sax players in the description but 3 in the video.@@bluesincolour
Floyd Newman (white guy): Sax
Wayne Jackson: Trumpet
Andrew Love (black guy): Sax
@@bluesincolour As others have said after you only two are named fella!
Notice how the Hammond has the whole bottom half chopped off.
I could do with a better view of Duck's hands on the P-bass
No one plays music anymore....
"Last Night" sounds too fast to this old man.
Drummers take notes. You don’t need all that fancy bullshit. Let Al show you the way
