Lyrics
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots
Yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth.
I've been standing in the rain
Drenched and soaked with pain
Tired of short time benefits
And being exposed to the elements.
I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around.
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots
Yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth.
Ain't talkin' 'bout no roots in the land
Talkin' 'bout the roots in the man.
I feel my spirit gettin' old
It's time to recharge my soul
I'm zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots
Yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth.
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots.
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth.
V2002 - I was working a hot dog/burger stand. During recruitment we were told we would be instantly fired if we left to watch a band we liked during our shift. I knew I wanted to see Groove Armada, but they were on during my shift. "Screw it" I thought, and asked to go to the bathroom sometime shortly after their set started. I RAN to the stage they were playing, saw a couple songs (including Hands of Time, I think), but then this song started. I was completely on my own and totally sober, but 19 years later, it remains one of the greatest moments of live music I have ever witnessed (and working in music for the past 10 years, I've travelled all over the world with bands and DJs). Being half Nigerian, he took me directly back to the village I was born, in the jungle! ❤️
I managed to get back to the hot dog stand, and nobody said a word.
Worthing and rich adventure of yours!
Richie Havens gave us his all in every performance! Dude was connected to something deep and spiritual - and his voice is so soulful and honest......we need more people like him in 2019
When you consider the fact that he played the first Woodstock festival back in "the day" [as it's quaintly refer-ed (? don't mind if I do) to], the fact that he's still around and still charged up, tells you a lot about the man - Legend!
@@eddieredmond7674 yes buy he Is unfortunately dead
@@bicino Oh, that is sad to hear. I saw him with Groove Armada at the Virgin festival (some-place north of Birmingham UK) in about 2006 ish. I remember thinking then, that he was remarkably well preserved for a musician who played at Woodstock. I was literally 7 or 8 years old when that festival hit the 1960's.
Thanks for taking the time to inform me of his passing. x
He was a legend, kicking out folk anthem's early and rocking the beats with the great GA
Surely the best live version with the lp of course.
One of the best live performances EVER - R.I.P. Richie
That is some rhythm section. The bass player and percussionist are absolutely on fire.
I was born in the wrong time! What a fantastic performance! RIP THE GOAT Richie Haven 🙏🤙
Fantastic 70’
Hevans voice was here good like in the 80's, he leterally put the fire on the stage with this unforgettable song that I lived in my seventheen.. ❤️
Still loving this in 2020 💕
Still Lovin 2021!!!
@@JamesVibe I just found this now, in 2021 and it blew me away completely
Still in 2022
2023...
2023 ☆♡☆
Ritchie Havens opened for woodstock and played for 2 hours as the other bands arrived late
Tears of joy and connection coming out of my eyes in the middle of 2020
Awesome performance ....... makes my night .... funky perfection! My dad was a jazz drummer for 60 years and I have him to thank for my appreciation of this type of music . He's 93 now and still an awesome drumming talent.
Thats cool as f mate. My dad was a bass teacher, my uncle still teaches at the local school as a drum/ sax/ trumpet teacher,, still does private lessons, in the "shed" yep, the tin shed my grandfather used as a tractor shed, my uncle, has spent over $100 k getting this magic space to where it is. Masterpiece, let alone all the brilliant equipment in there
.Gotta love the family roots..❤ edit: his son, is a drum teacher now, at the age of 32, does drum line , had played some serious gigs.
Still loving this in 2021! Groovy Grandad, in our hearts forever!
Your still in our hearts Richie............Still listening and learning from your music.......
L'edenté a toujours eu une classe incommensurable
Would love to see Groove Armada live. This is an amazing collection with a man connected to the entire universe.
Man, I saw them live set at EDC LA 14 years ago but I had the chance to see them live last year for the first time, it was awesome!!! It was on my bucket list, I can die happy now.
The best group I've ever seen! Saw them in the summer of 2019 before lockdown at the Royal Naval College in London. Incredible support DJs, incredible venue, incredible group!
What a song! What a groove!
Man hes just great. A unique voice that grows like a good wine
Absolute classic. Thanks for having this available, the DVD is long gone!
Richie was a legend...one seriously Cool Dude. Read his 'They Can't Hide Us Anymore' to learn far more about this amazing and lovely man and his hugely interesting life, from Woodstock onwards....(and before too, of course) Thank you for this video, lads, it's superb....
So so good!!! Mr. Richie Havens with Groove Armada - great!
