Chris Farlowe got really great deep bluesy voice. Extremely underrated singer.
Not under rated at all.
Revered more than underrated
@@robinfereday6562 Ditto
A lot of comments and, yes, Alvin and Chris are great. However, I see no comments about the fellow playing the piano that (in my opinion) is the best here.
tony ashton. yes!
Tony Ashton for Ashton Gardener and Dyke
Chris is 83 in October and he can still sing like this
There's no doubt about it, Chris Farlowe is beyond special, he's just so good.
Alvin Lee is great, as always. A legend who played at the original Woodstock with Ten Years After, a great band with some really great tunes.
Farlowe , is a serious musician and respected by those around him. pop music as been an unkind blessing. let’s pray for the living, shall we .
Alvin Lee is a real bluesman
In 1991 I went to Bogart's Nightclub in Cincinnati, Ohio to see the late, great Johnny Winter. At the end of the night for his final two songs, JW was joined onstage by the late, great Alvin Lee no less. They played I Used To Love Her and then put the crowd into shock by pealing off one of the most incredible performances of Jimi Hendrix's Red House I've ever heard. I stood in disbelief that the good Lord thought I was living right enough to witness two of rock's all-time greats absolutely melt the fucking place that night with Red House, which was appropriate given both had known and been great friends with Jimi Hendrix when he was still alive.
@@GBeret83 What a night it had to be! Listen to this song of Ten years After, this is the kind of song that make me say that Alvin lee is a real bluesman . ua-cam.com/video/RL48meWU9QE/v-deo.html
❤️ Alvin Lee! Got to see Ten Tears After live un '70 or was it '71, open for Led Zep!
Although all the musicians have got a deservedly thumbs up, Chris is pretty damned good as well.
Bass player very ‘pub’ type of player.
Absolutely!!! An untapped treasure to be sure!
Good stuff: RIP Alvin - you are sorely missed..Ian
a very young Rick and Alvin Chris priceless.. thanks
Two of the best looking WASPS, playing the deepest black blues. If ya got the blues, the mike is open...
Great stuff Rick...fantastic jam with Farlowe & Lee together.
This is top draw, great line up
Alvin Lee..blues legend
Rick playing blues, new discovery
Rick is also a legend and I'm sorry I'm only finding this treasure now.
First time I hve heard this. Woooaw. Awesome to see this with all my musical HEROES - Thank you RICK. - I am a great fan
You should listen to the version of this song by The Allman Brothers Band. It's a classic. And absolutely out-fucking-standing! It was a regular song in their sets. They played it from the very beginnings of ABB.

Chris inimitable !!!!
How the hell are Alvin Lee and Ten Years After NOT in the R &R HOF??
Because the hof is garbage
@@djclay33 right, you took the words just out of my laptop. Hof is just something the music industry invented.
jann wenner hall of shame is why
TEN YEARS AFTER are not in the R and R HOF but Madonna and the Go Gos are hahahaha
@@otisspunkmeyer9339 yeah. Go figure! It really questions the R&R HOF's credibility.
Brilliant
Chris, Alvin 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Anything new with Alvin that i havent heard is a good thing
PERFECT !
Both chris and alvin are underrated
Yeah, absolutely, I love Ten Years After, Colosseum, and many more.. Listened to the first album of TYA yesterday, timeless stuff! Love Ssst, Undead, and Stonedhenge too, just like they say on one o/t albums, they're musical gymnasts, unbelievable.
@@baronsaturday9560Don't forget Cricklewood Green.
Alvin Lee ? So under rated ! SSsssshhhhhh.....;p
Tell All!
Born 1960, I was as an young Austrian boy - very lucky, to watch Alvin Lee Live 1979 live in Munich/Bavaria. Thanks
Who said he is under rated? Alvin was always right where he wanted to be.
YEAH...stunning performance...¡¡¡
Yes! I know the ABB version of this. Time to hear Alvin's ❤️
Love the KSHE 95 shirt, St Louis FM radio.
Grandmaster of music 😎👍❤
da blutet einem das Herz, Alvin Lee in Höchstform und Farlowe gibt auch alles!
Great lineup
The Stars playing together
Gosh, this is good blues.
Yeah, great.
How can there be all my favourite muso’s in one place and this is the first time I’ve seen it. Sensational is the only word. Other than “Shiddlydiddlydowop “🎸👍🇦🇺
He so lives his music. Great Chris and great band. xx
Fantastic ! Not an everyday composition. :D
Super session, really great! Thanks for share
Please help me out Rick. I'm sure I remember you playing on Sunday evenings at the Valiant Trooper pub, usually ending with Hey Joe. Two of us used to ride there on motorbikes. This was sometime in the seventies. My friend died during covid, I'm nearly 70 now. Whatever, from a longtime fan.
Oooh! Be still my heart!!!!
Wonderful
Love the Music 💙🎹🎸💙🎹🎸💙🎹🎸💙🎹🎸💙🎹🎸
Oh, they would have loved him in memphis, a bit of SWAMP, Louisiana vibe. He knows full well he has "somethin"
13th March 2023, Stormy Monday indeed here in Holland!
But a little spliff keeps the doctor away.. ;)
Well this is underrated. I heard Keith and Al hung out a bit ;)
Two of a similar kind. Charming men. :D
So in Love 💖
Yes indeed!
Nailed it
Hey Rick, you produced a great show, this is the first time I've seen it here in Pittsburgh. Wish it was available to us over here when you were doing it. Alvin was an acquaintance of mine I had met around 1983 or 84. Great guy, he extended me an invitation to come over to London and play at the Marquee which really blew me away and an opportunity I sadly missed.
Great work Rick
The best of British, RIP Alvin & Rory Irish but second best to Alvin!
Completely agree.❤
Das fetzt kernig.
Klasse, Jungs.
Da steht er mir gleich wieder
I’ve often said it and still believe that the 3 top cover songs in music history:
Stormy Monday by the Allman Brothers
Try a Little Tenderness by Three Dog Night
Twist and Shout by The Beatles
That guy on the organ is pretty good!
Very, very good.
Yeah I wonder what happened to him. Here today gone tomorrow. Such a shame.🤣😂😃
Love and admiration! Bravo!
Dream team.
wow..I can't believe I finally got here. Hi Rick..got a beer?
thank you Rick!
If you want to know how to sing and play with heart and soul there ya go you better save this because you don’t see that nowadays at all
Thanks
Excellent!
Eric Burdon with Alvin Lee on the same show brought me here. OK, quick, Farlowe vs Burdon in each's prime, who wins? The audience, that's whom!
There's only one way to find out
in their prime - Eric Burdon. Out of their prime, Farlowe.
Burdon was definitely the winner in their prime and he was gorgeous!
We ALL WIN!!!
No question... Chris the master.
Damn that's sweet
Tony Ashton on Piano. Remo Four, Ashton, Gardner and Van Dyke.
❤❤❤
I Love you Chris
Ingrid, you and me are in the same boat
And me.. ;)
Grandes músicos 🤘🎤🎸🎵🎶🔥✌️
Coliseum Atómica Lee
Chris Farlowe ist der Sänger super
3:40 alvin solo
Chris 💪🤟👍👋
Chris’s mannerisms remind me of Long John Baldry.
I was thinking the exact same thing!!! Great bit of history here...
Yes, that's it! Such a good old british school: Long John Baldry, Alan Price, Chris Farlowe, Brian Auger, Alexis Korner, John Mayall ..
My God, such a long time gone!!
👏👏👏👏👏
This is Premier League of music.
😍🥰🎸🙏
BLUESNISIMO, NO JUST CLASSICAL ORGAN, HAPPY DAY HAPPY LIFE
The best white blues singer.

Scott Baio on Drums.
@james crowe So, you are calling me stupid. Who the hell do you think you are? Well.. Obviously, you are a moron. There is no doubt about that. You are a judgmental asshole. That is clear. You are a douche bag. That isn't as clear but I can see that you are an asshole. Shall I go on, ass wipe?
@james crowe he was making a joke
@james crowe He was making a joke

Love Alvin, who's the fool singing?
Chris Farlowe
@@pinin21 not you. the singer. How embarrassing!.
surfer 44 that “fool” singing is Chris Farlowe...one of the most widely respected British singers ever...the stones wrote paint it black for him..
@@Lbradham123 Not my cup of tea.
@@surfer4478 I don't like the singing either, Dave Vanian is much better.
Crappy white noise ,no blues at all,Alvin Lee was handcuffed..what a shame.. Alvin Lee went home..alone..rip...
Cultural appropriation
That's dreadful! Englishmen just cannot sing the Blues. Farlowe totally murdered that song. Thank God Alvin Lee was there to save the day. AND he needs to shut up and not ad lib while the musicians are taking their solos.
Yeah, England's blues singers are terrible, what were Eric Burdon, Robert Plant, Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, Mick Jagger, Rory Gallagher, Peter Green, John Mayall, Danny Kirwan, Steve Winwood, Jeff Beck, Micky Moody, David Coverdale, Ian Gillan, Jack Bruce, Rod Stewart, Lee Brilleaux, Peter Frampton, Steve Marriot, Paul Rodgers, Joe Cocker and Van Morrison bothered wasting their time for?
@@HughRogers609 . . Since you asked, I'm gonna take from just the list of the singers you gave me the ones who, although they may be able to sing, just can't sing the Blues. Get ready:
Eric Burdon . . Great soulful singer but no Blues singer. AND I'll hate him till the day I die for recording Spill The Wine Dig That Girl.
Mick Jagger . . Listen to that really garage band quality Blues album they released recently for all the proof you'll need.
John Mayall . . but to be fair he's finally getting it at long last. Only took him 40 years.
Danny Kirwan . . No feel at all ever. To my ears he always sounded like the tone deaf roadie testing the PA, rather than the band's singer.
Steve Winwood . . The very worst version of Stormy Monday ever recorded was by Steve Winwood with Jack Bruce singing with him. The Lordy Lord Lordy Lord verse being the worst Blues vocals ever to come from the throat of mankind.
Jeff Beck . . Doesn't sing enough to make a judgement, but he can't PLAY the Blues and that's for sure. Too busy being too clever by half to have any feel.
Ian Gillan . . Just no!! Too busy showing off his high voice and definitely no feel.
Rod Stewart . . Come on! Even on Beck's so called Blues albums he disappointed in spades. It takes far more than just a gravelly voice to be a Blues singer.
Peter Frampton . . Good rock singer but no Blues singer.
Steve Marriot . . Don't make me laugh! He used to try far too hard to sound soulful to the extent that it was laughable and cringe-worthy at the same time. And I'm begging you not to get me started on his phony southern American scat-rap. I threw that CD out the window of my car!
Joe Cocker . . Definitely a Rock and Soul singer, but not much of a Blues singer. As I said of Rod Stewart it takes more than a gravelly voice . . and a drug/alcohol problem to be a good Blues singer.
Van Morrison . . THE most over rated singer of all time. He's just lucky that the right mover and shaker in the music press declared him to be cool . . and the sheeple all fell in line and thought so too. Exactly the same as they did with Paul Simon.
Those from your list who can sing the Blues:
Robert Plant . . in his own distinctive way.
Eric Clapton . . eventually.
Gary Moore . . He's Irish not English
Rory Gallagher . . He's Irish not English.
Peter Green . . No one can argue with that.
David Coverdale . . Just scrapes in as a Blues singer. He's good at a few different styles.
Jack Bruce . . He's Scottish not English.
Paul Rodgers . . One of the best white Rock-Soul-Blues singers ever.
The others I haven't listed because I know too little about them.
But if you count the ones who CAN'T sing Blues . . 12 entries, and count the ones who can AND are English . . 5 by my reckoning . . I'm standing by my original comment.
Try and give me a reason for liking Farlowe's embarrassingly pitiful vocals on the video. I'd be interested in your opinion. He was never a singer, just a mate of Keith and Mick. If I was trying out a singer for my band and he did that awful vocal ad lib thing over my guitar solo, I'd have someone get the hook and drag him off stage by the neck!
@@arthurblackhistoric Picking out the Celts from the Saxons, as an argument? As for the other not being able to sing the blues... yeah well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion man.
@@HughRogers609 . . Yeah, and I'm not entitled to my opinion if it's not in line with yours, correct?
Picking out the Celts from the Saxons? That's right, now that you point that out. I'm almost pure Celt myself.
It's the English Blues singers like this hopeless idiot that I don't think much of.
I'd like to think that after a long lifetime . . 49 years and counting, after starting to play guitar in 1970 and being a Blues-Rock singer for a few years prior to that . . I'd be qualified to give an opinion worth a damn.
I'm still waiting to read what you think of Chris Farlowe's awful singing on this version of Stormy Monday.
@@arthurblackhistoric Try DAVY KNOWLES. If you still think a white brit boy can't sing (and play) blues, then you should stay in the 70s.
Was he the singer of Atomic Rooster?
Black Snake Livin' In A Black Hole, Crawlin' After Dark... Farlowe fitted great with that band!
