one of the most chilled piece of music of all time prove me wrong
Can’t prove you wrong
I was 12 in 1972. Was able to play this, Baby I'm a want you and Make it with you on guitar by age 14. Always loved this band.
I read the comments from mine and younger generations. I had this song in existence for 90% of my life. I had heard it hundreds of times. A month ago, I passed over it. Then, a couple of weeks ago, it got in my head after I woke. So I had to play it. I fell in love with this song. I'm 61.
I'm the same age. I rarely hear Bread anymore on the radio, but there are a couple of their songs that will make just start crying when I hear them. So poignant. Absolutely beautiful songs.
me too just bought the CD after all these years I will be 60 in December
@@brianraider5893 I'd like to get it again too someday. But I'm going to wait until I'm in a little better place emotionally. These songs just slay me right open!
The guitar magic of Larry Knechtel. A great one.
I was 5 in 1972. I have liked Bread for as long as I can remember. This song takes me back to the early 1970’s every time. Someone once told me I was born 20 years too late. Maybe so.
@@THEbadlnb same age. I get it
One of the best musical arrangements ever in a pop song. Every note is a perfect!
Who draws the crowd and plays so loud
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show
You know, baby, it's the guitar man
He can make you love
He can make you cry
He will bring you down
Then he'll get you high
Somethin' keeps him goin'
Miles and miles a day
To find another place to play
Night after night who treats you right
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio
You go listen to the guitar man
Then he comes to town
And you see his face
And you think you might
Like to take his place
Somethin' keeps him driftin'
Miles and miles away
Searchin' for the songs to play
Then you listen to the music
And you like to sing along
You want to get the meaning
Out of each and every song
Then you find yourself a message
And some words to call your own
And take them home
He can make you love
He can get you high
He will bring you down
Then he'll make you cry
Somethin' keeps him movin'
But no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go
Then the lights begin to flicker
And the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter
And the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice
He's just got to find
Another place to play
Fade away
Got to play
Fade away
Got to play

very best of 70's bands...David Gates : a great songwriter and performer...
Superb, no TV talent shows, no social media crap - just talent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Our mother used to like this band and got to know their music as a kid when being driven around. Happy memories.
David Gates has got to go down as one of the all-time greatest singers ever, his soft soothing voice and the great lyrics simply cannot be matched today. Always loved, and still love Bread. Would have loved to see them in concert live but these vids are all that's left, and so thankful.......
Heck yes love him
Saw them in78~ what great memory🙏
I saw David Gates in concert in Brisbane Australia back in 2003/2004. A true professional who still has what it takes.
I totally agree...........
Rock and Roll hall of fame for sure
They owe them that and more 😢
Can anybody make it happen🙏
Yes indeed
Bread was always one of the bands that I followed since the 70's and until today I keep listening. Rest in peace James, Larry and Mike! God bless David Gates for many more years.
I guess I have loved this since I was 10 years old.
Steele Dutchess likewise!
Steele Dutchess - I loved it since I was 8, in 1972✌🏻😎

Me to
Age 7 for me in 1972.
Nearly all the Bread's early tunes of the years of 1970 - 1972 has, to me, sweet memories of the gals I dated in those three years when I was 20 - 22 years old. Oh, those "J" girls of Janis and Janice...and, the Summer of 1970 of Cathy...Great times in the hits from, The Bread rock/pop group of David Gates and company.
Featured on This is Us last night, music is timeless! Here in 2022! ❤️
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anyone?
Aubrey, Everything I Own, If, Make It With You, Guitar Man. Leaving out another 5 for dramatic effect.

Born in 68, missed the 60s and early 70s...love hearing the music of this era
Me❤🎉😊

Me ...I was born in the 1950's...this is still one of the greatest music Eras for all time.
Wonderful music that stands the test of time
For all guitar men❤
Amen to that!!! ❤🤘💪
Great classic .God bless Bread .Peace man .
I discovered Bread on a rainy Sunday night, I was 19 and heartbroken for several months. While driving my car, I was thinking about love and life, trying to find answers. On the radio, there was this one-hour special on the band. I didn't really know the songs, or maybe I did, but they sounded quite familiar. Their softness, their melancholy, their musical perfection - Gates' voice is clearly the band's trademark - touched me to the deepest of my soul (exactly where it hurts). I remember that evening as one of the most profound. The next day, I ordered from Columbia House Bread's Anthology on CD. Several weeks later, after learning my favorites Bread songs on the guitar, I read that David Gates was born on December 11th, like me. That Sunday night, Bread's music made me realize something I never wanted to hear before : it made me realize that I am a musician.
Claudio where are you from?
Bravo!!! long may you play.🙏❤🐱🐔🐔
@@sergiomattos109 Hello Sergio. I was born in Chile, but spent my whole life in Montreal. That's where I live now. Where are you from?
Hi Claudio. I'm from Chile.
❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE BREAD🌹
This guitar solar is so amazing..every note counts…
RIP Jimmy, Mike and Larry...what a band!
One of my favorite bands
3 dead. David's the only one alive. Maybe Rob Royer but he wasn't with them in their prime days. Larry, Mike and Jimmy are dead. RIP you guys. Awesome music that will live on forever.
Robb is still very much with us, and he did appear on the bands first 3 albums, and participated in many of the hits, so he certainly contributed significantly to their success. Interestingly, Larry also appeared on an equal number of albums - but folk tend to oversee the even balance between the Royer/Knechtel years !
Thanks very much for the response. I'm glad he's still here.
@Malc2311 , who are you kind, sir? 🎉
Love Bread. Always and forever.
Thank you Bread for the violins at 3:02, I like most genres of music but the 70s was so special with symphonic additions to soft rock.
That’s right. It was a special sound. Sounded wonderful in the slow cushy cars of the day ha.
I’ve been too memorized by the guitars...thanks for pointing out the violins.
@@micaelamontes73 I think you meant "mesmerized", and yes I agree, I hadn't previously paid much attention to anything but the guitars myself.
What do you do when you still need to perform, but there's no audience? These guys sum it up. Haunting and honest.
Fuck yes.
True
Indeed….
Beautiful guitar.
Lead guitar was Larry Knechtel.
One of my favorite bands because they didn't just make music, but they write stories behind each and every song they play, which makes you think if these are their stories or someone else's.
This music is nice and soothing.
I've always loved Bread...I grew up my teen years, I too December 3rd, I thought, wow pretty close. I bought their album
Bread was one of those guilty pleasures i had back in the day when it wasn't cool to listen to "wussy pop"...i mean, being a serious rock n roller...but i listened to the Hollies also when no one else was around (another great band by the way)...hey, good music is good music...the genre matters not....
This is such a great cruising song.. just you, this song & the open road..
Wonderful...............
Don't play the guitar v.....BE THE GUITAR.❤
This haunting song with simple but telling lyrics is about the life of a musician and his relationship with his fans.
Bread’s frontman David Gates stated : “James [Griffin] went out and tried to play a solo that wasn’t sounding right […]. Larry [Knechtel] plays a little guitar, so I asked him to try it. He hooked up a little wah-wah pedal and came up with all those things on the spot. I bet that wasn’t more than two hours of work on his part.”
At the end of “Guitar Man” (1972), there is a recording of a crowd yelling after an announcer introduces Jim Morrison at a Doors concert.
As such, “Guitar Man” was left as the lone album by the band without a top-10 hit amongst its track listing. 💙🎸💚
As you probably know, David Gates wrote most, if not all the songs he sings. As such, he being the songwriter knows the exact sound he was looking for and Larry (RIP) produced it for him. Excellent all round!
Sometimes things are meant to be, the lyrics, the voice, I bought the cassette on a Friday and I’m ashamed to say I can’t remember the album, but I picked up my then gf at the time and we went to the coast, watched the lights and put this on repeat, it was magical, the only other guys vocals put in high esteem (ok their may be others, but men so much to me is Gerry Rafferty, right till he died a good few years ago, silky smooth, no effort and just a lilt that resonated with me) thank you bread and David.
the mark of an era, eternal.
1972 wow early promo video. Def one of their best songs. The Audio Stereo quality is great, awesome with good headphones. Peace and love all this Easter. 🙏🏼💙
The audio track was obviously dubbed in decades later.
So good! Think I'll listen to this one on repeat for a while 👍👍. Was 7 in 1972, kinda grew up hearing this stuff.
My first concert was a Bread concert in 1972. Seals And Croft was the opener. I was 15 years old. I have to say, I really didn't appreciate them as much as I should have. Their music is timeless. (edit) Seems it might have been England Dan and John Ford Coley.
Really? S&C ? Do you recall the date? I knew that England Dan & JFC opened for them in ‘72, and Steely Dan in ‘73, but hadn’t heard of S&C doing same…
@@Malc231122/11/1972. It was at the Tarrant County Convention Center in FW, Texas. I was wrong on the year. I was 15.
@@Malc2311 I might have been wrong about Seals And Croft. I can't find that info anywhere. England Dan(Seals brother) and John Ford Coley were opening for Bread right around that time. Maybe I confused the two. Anyway, great concert.
A tune that has resided pleasantly on my tympanic membrane since I was 14 years old and still does today . . . . .
It dosen't get better than that! It's like the first timer I heard it! Breathtaking!
Tenho 62 anos e amo as suas músicas. Têm tudo história som e uma energia contagiante. Ainda rodopio ao som imortal do América.
From Back In The Day (tm), when songs had actual original music and lyrics...
Miss your voice mr. Gates

I just like the way David Gates eases through the songs. Not like today's singing where technology sings for you.
Yes.
Gosto de músicas clássicas para ouvir nos dia de hoje
Tipo 2024✌🏻 nem sei quem é o cantor mas , já gostei só de ouvir o som da guitarra arrepia maravilhoso 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
superbly talented singer songwriter guitarist Mr David Gates ! ********Pd
Ha! David Gates is from my home town. Him and leon Russell from tulsa oklahoma. Were so proud of those two. They new each other also.
Bit of trivia, Leon and David were both members of the house band on the 60’s tv music show Shindig
Some talent from there! Look up Lincoln, England and you'll not find much, but we're working on it. Although Bernie Taupin was born and brought up in the same county :D
These words are so true. Gotti Love That steel Guitar sound!!
Linda demais essa melodia.. me faz sonhar acordado...
Quisiera que volvieran esos tiempos que musica guauu!!!!
Fue una época dorada, por desgracia no volverá.. pero se mantiene viva en nuestros recuerdos.. 😖
Thanks, Bread you helped me make it through, and how I wish I could take my family with me and go back to that time. a friend of mine was the voice on the radio who would add "getting our daily bread" after playing their songs.
Voltei no passado 🥰😻
Fantastic magic band ❤
Just heard it on France Bleu Paris. Had no idea. Wow.
Bread!!!!😊
I'm listening to this with middle-of-the-road earbuds and the quality of this upload is freaking fantastic.
Same here, Danielle.
@@stevecrumpton9643 Ain't it great?! Happy listening!
No question about it!
Excelente colocações gustavo moni
Guitar Man lyrics staying relevant during 2024
Great song, great group, crummy video, they deserved better.
Que musica limda. Boms tempos
Peace man
Música linda
the meanings out of every song
❤❤❤❤❤
"What do we call this band?", asked someone as a bread truck rolled by. True story. But it always was the David Gates Band since the producers had little interest in promoting Griffin's rockabilly contributions (see the completely un-Bread-like Side 2 of their "Best of" compilation). Gates' magic formula for sappy hits was only matched by Barry Manilow, but Guitar Man is in a special category of sincere 70s ballads lamenting a life on tour by homesick young artists (e.g., Seger's Turn the Page, Elton's Rocket Man, Browne's Running on Empty, etc.)
I want to dedicate this song to Chris Risola former Steelheart lead guitarist he's so much like this song he's unbelievable he gets into his song's and when it's his time or a solo he's caught up in the moment I love to watch him play. Praying you get this song Chris Risola🥀☝️🥀🤘🎸
Amo esta musica fecho os ohos e viajo num amor recente que mudou miha vida
15 yrs old, my first boyfriend was 17 and he drove a 1973 Red Dodge Challenger (his moms car) Bread 8 track tape playing. Damn I was soo stupid back then. Still paying for being naive a lifetime ago. He won’t leave and I’m stuck in living hell. Good tunes tho !
Are you free from your hell yet?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always
I own Bread for many great nights with lovely ladies!
You have your true soulmate, will never be like her. . . . . . . .
💜Mr.MuszakMan💜
My prime days I remember
Sooo Nice!!!
From my teens
Here 7/21/24 ❤
wow
Doesn't that just sums love up ?
Show com Bread.
When I first heard this …. I thgt for certain David Gates was playing the guitar solo ..
That lead guitar played by larry knechtel. Although James griffin wad the lead guitarist of brrad
Very Zombie Apocolypse, in terms of the vid, but I'm a fan of artistic offense by accident so I can dig it ( ;
The Walking Bread :)
Trippy video for a non trippy song
My bread
Anyone "out there" want to form a "Tribute band?"
Jerry
love this song the video is bit strange. especially the girl not sure id want to have a nightmare about her . but otherwise really enjoyable .what a great and varied band .
phb1-This video is so old ,and the video quality is so bad...I'm not surprised about your comment, lol...dude, it's 46 years old...
Lol true
Now 50 years! It's not the oldest promo by quite a way. The Beatles have amazing quality promos from several years earlier. This is also probably at least a third generation copy. From film to video to digital. The girl's teeth glowing reminds me of Ross in Friends when he got his teeth too far whitened.
Cake brought me here …
👏👏👏👏💖
I was about to go to sleep until i saw the girl at 1:45 that girl scared the shit out of me.
let it go
