Steve Cropper on the telecaster, Donald "Duck" Dunn on the Fender Bass, played on the record, also the Soul Man hit, and cameo in the Blues Brothers movie some years later...
That Horn section was throwing it out there. Duck Dunn showing how the bass is supposed to be played. Steve Cropper and his famous Tele. Can’t tell who’s beating the skins. Maybe Al Jackson. But Sam and Dave vocals are over the top on this performance. They didn’t hold back.
Lord knows I wish today's music had some kind of soul like this, but unfortunately that candle blew out a long time ago. Thank God we can watch those videos on here & remember those days when artist had talent like Sam & Dave, and one hell of a smoking band behind them too!
Sam & Dave soured me on Motown and drew me to the more raw soul at studios in the south. I felt Motown was too pop. Sam & Dave said their greatest memory is that they were the opening act for the Temptations when they toured Europe. They got about 20 minutes and The Temps got whatever time they wanted. At the first show as the duo left the stage the audience yelled for more , so much that it disrupted the Temps performance . This became regular that early in the tour it was obvious the European audiences came to see Sam& Dave more than the Temps. Thus the rest of the tour, the Temps opened the show for about twenty minutes and Sam& Dave got whatever time they needed. True story told by Sam Moore. The MGs backing band also said that the duo got the audience so worked up that they had to cancel balcony tickets as the audiences were stomping and dancing so much they feared the balcony would collapse.
El Duo Dinamita es impresionante. La mezcla de sus voces, como transmiten el ritmo, la gente se vuelve loca, no puedes dejar de moverte. Y por supuesto el grupazo que llevan, sin palabras... Cropper, Dunn .... una grabación excepcional, un tesoro, mil gracias.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember this old song for the last couple of years. Finally, there it suddenly appeared on my uTube. I didn’t realize it was a Sam & Dave song. Great old song. 😊
This right here explains the frustrations many of his have with modern "music." This was transcendent, as it should always be. The attempt ought to at least be made. Sam, Dave and Band, you will never be forgotten.
Lovely to hear from you. Your brother was righteous👍 and of course Sam was the Bomb. For 50 years I've been groovin to this fabulosity and I don't think there's ever been a better 2-man group. Love and hugs to you from SoCal 😍😍😍
@@curtisphilumalee1447Stax, Royal and American sound were know as the Memphis sound. Great studios where legendary artists recorded classic hit. FYI, Bruno Mars was a huge fan of the Memphis sound. American and Stax had been torn down but royal was a museum but still could record there so Bruno Mars recorded “ Uptown Funk “ there as a tribute to his love of the Memphis sound . Pickett recorded at Stax , late American, Aretha recorded at American after problems at muscle Schoals, Joe tex recorded at American , the Sweet Inspirations recorded at American , Dionne Warwicke too. And the greatest white soul singer recorded at American , namely Elvis Presley , btw the house band at American was all white including Reggie Young on guitar who had left Royal due to money issues. Stax had Booker t and MGs as house band , and artists Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes and Johnny Taylor among others . Royal recorded Ann Peeples, Denise Lasalle, and their most famous artist Al Green. Al Wanted Reggie Young on guitar but producer Wille Mitchell had cheated him out of money. Al was so determined that he sent his replacement Teeny Hodges to meet Reggie to teach him how Al wanted him to play. Hodges was so impressed with Reggie , he named his first son after him. The Memphis sound is the greatest sound in music history. Even Motown was envious of them. The funk sounds of the 70s were influenced by Memphis.
I would love it if you released the three performances by the James Gang in 1974! Two were aired on one night and the other was about a month after so January and February 1974. Please consider this. Thank you very much.
1970s=musicians from a poor background go on stage fuelled by coke and whisky and play perfectly 2020s=musicians from wealthy backgrounds go on stage after weeks of health food and can't carry a tune in a bucket
I haven't known Steve Cropper & Duck Dunn play with Sam & Dave in 1974. The contract between Atlantic & STAX was canceled in 1967. A few years later, Cropper & Duck Dunn left STAX. It would make this possible.
Back in the day did you ever go anywhere when this was playing and folks was just sitting down, naaaaaaa, no way, they should play this stuff at the UN maybe there wouldn’t be so many egos starting wars. Wadaya think folks?

The bass player is righteous. He lifts this fine performance to a whole 'nother level.
That's the great Duck Dunn !! And Steve Cropper on the Fender Tele !

Yes, it’s Al Jackson.
I wish I could of been at one of Sam and Dave’s Concerts. They always look like they were having Fun.
I would love to have seen them in concert back then but children would not have been allowed at such venues.
We had the absolue best music in our generation ever, what they have today, I am not sure what it is
Listening to the radio in the 60s and 70s, Sam and Dave never failed to show up at some point. If you liked soul or R&B, these guys always delivered!
Sam and Dave were the music of a generation. The best.
I miss these guys good old school music 🎶 nothing like it 2024 still listening ❤❤🎉🎉
How fun is this? Pure, unadulterated talent on that stage!! RIP to Duck Dunn.
Fan-freaking-tastic. Thank you Midnight Special! ✌
Double Dynamite reunited with greatest rhythm section ever, the MGs, Steve Cropper, Al Jackson, & Duck Dunn killing on bass!
And THAT is soul music!
Spectacular then and now…thanks for the video!
This is great AMERICAN music! We should all embrace it!
They had such a contagious enthusiasm! A lively performance!🤩 I loved the bass player's faces!😅
Donald "Duck" Dunn.
🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸 #LEGEND
I remember this. Lord. I saw this performance on TV. I came out of my chair. Dancing, feeling it.

Oh man, what a machine!
I played tenor sax in high school and man was this a fun song to play. one of my favorites.
Play it Steve!

Great story
Love this story, greatness👍👍
So good 👍👀😋🎸💖🤩🕺💃🔥🍹🐔🍒🐓 Love from France 🇫🇷 for all
Let the Church say, "Amen!"
Amen.
I'm Lucky enough to see / hear them live mid sixties! In my home town Leicester!
Ohhhh! This is the BEST!
It’d warm up any lady and
Get Everybody Movin’!!!
🎉❤🎉❤🎉
😂😊 love to hear music 🎶🎵 like that it's ashamed he's not in the Rock and roll Hall of fame.rip in peace 🕊️ Mr Benton.
I so love (Thank You) by them....❤
Love that Soul and R&B, how fun to be in the audience dancing along with them, Groovy Baby! 😍
I just loved how Duck Dunn revised and just exploded his bass part. Going to the higher register for the chorus brings the song to a new intensity!
Yea this will always be funky asf 🔥
Amazing memories, absolutely 💙 Sam and Dave and the band.

These two were so good together, it’s unbelievable to me that they hated each other.
The Blues Brothers before the Blues Brothers.
The Blues Brothers were a parody. Sam and Dave were the real deal.
Masterclass in musicianship.
Amazing music and song!
For anyone under 40, that’s how it’s done in a band.
Bingo
Amen. Doesn’t get much better than this.
Word
I'm 34 and this is my era🤘🤘❤
I'm 67, and I love this song. It was popular when I was a kid. President Trump uses this song in his rallies. He knows good music. ❤❤❤
This song reminds me when I was 16 years old
Always puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it.
Legendary, timeless performance, thank u for sharing!👍

R&B Memphis pasa a ser Funk con Brown?
The sound of Muscle Shoals & STAX.
I actually found this song because of Muhammad Ali edit back in September and it ended up being my number 1 song on my Spotify wrapped for this year
Legends!

It’s a shame that music has devolved into dudes reciting nursery rhymes with a computer as the backup band. 😢
Lots of familiar faces in the backup band.
Yeah! the bass player looked especially familiar. Do you know his or anyone's names?
@@StephanieJeanneThe late, great Donald “Duck” Dunn. Steve Cropper is on guitar.
I would like to see Beatrice Florea do this one !
