    I am 65 and this is my all time favorite song. My brother had a band in the 60's and always played this song in the band....which makes this song more special to me. He passed away in 1992, and thinking of this song More as my life goes on. You guys knocked it out of the park next to the original!!! Each and every player in your band as well as the singer!! I Thank You all!

    Been listening to these guys for years. Seen them live 9 times. They are in my top 3 favorite bands this century 100%. After leaving a show of theirs, a feeling like no other overwhelms you. They absolutely crush it! Glad to finally see them blowing up in the UA-cam community rather than just the music festival world. They deserve every bit of greatness that comes their way. Let the planet be aware. Get Freshly Squozen. Love from Ohio!

  • @WildBlueAngel1000
    @WildBlueAngel1000 5 років тому +25

    I've just discovered these guys a few days ago and I am already a huge fan. I think what is the most incredible thing, aside from their brilliant playing and singing, is the fact that they mesh so well as a band. They remind me of Zeppelin. Certainly not comparing them, as no one can be compared to the almighty Zep, but with Zeppelin you had the Plant's insane vocals, Page shredding, JPJ doing a little of everything and Bonham... well, being Bonham. With these guys, its like everyone has great talent but there is no hogging the spotlight. Every during the epic guitar solos, they rest of the band is clicking, complimenting the phrases he is playing. That moment at the end when the singer is just grooving and listening to the closing riff proves that point. It is all about the music. Keep it up, guys!

    • @Pedro_MVS_Lima
      @Pedro_MVS_Lima 4 роки тому +2

      "they mesh so well as a band. They remind me of Zeppelin." There you go, that's exactly it. To be honest, I'm not particularly fond of this tune and in no small part that's because I've heard it just too many times. Listening to this, however, was awesome!

    I literally love everything about this. I love the video, the 4K quality is outstanding and you don't get it very often for this kind of content. I love the setting: the fireplace, the painting, the sword, the Bonsai tree on the shelf, the sun tapestry. I love the song, Procol Harum are such an underrated band and this piece is such a gem; I love how you polished it and refined it your way. With the taste and respect that are yours, such love for the music and the ones who composed it. I can't say but one thing: KEEP IT UP. Bless you all!

    Impressed by your capturing of the late 60's, early 70's soul/funk genre. It definitely suits you. I just hope you continue to create original music using that genre as your inspiration and style. Quality never goes out of favor. It simply comes back around with fresh eyes.
