Rock in Peace Kim Simmonds, he passed away from cancer on December 13. If you love Savoy Brown, take some time during your day and play a lot of Kim's music. He was a great blues guitarist.
We lost Kim, Jeff Beck, Top Topham [first Yardbirds guitarist], Gary Rossington, David Crosby and a few more rockers seemingly within a month of each other. That rocked me.
Moved to London in 1966. My first concert was Dylan in 1965 (Portland, Oregon with crazed beatniks protesting about going electric). Then Hendrix at a small club in Soho, then Savoy Brown. Loved Savoy and saw them often. The Boogie varied in length depending on blood alcohol and medication levels😅. Kim was awesome. RIP
Coolest Boogie of all time! This is Chris Youlden's masterpiece performance. The band should be in the R and R Hall of Fame just for this song!! Can I get a "Hell Yeah!" ?
Where I grew up, I had friends that could do something like that to Marshall Amps and we'd turn them into the woods and play this cut, Louisiana Blues, and a lot of live Cream. Especially off the Wheels of Fire album. We rocked the neighborhood.
I'm 65 years old and I was 16 years old when I heared this song the first time, and it's been there since than. Thanks Savoy Brown for best all time music ever.
16 at Birmingham Town Hall, also Terry Reid, Jethro Tull. Thought no one could beat Savoy Brown until Tull came on and blew them off stage. What a night indeed!
I was there for every performance that Savoy Brown did at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit in the late 60s These guys called Detroit their second home. They always made Detroit their first gig and their last gig whenever they toured the US. One time was never enough for the Detroit crowd. These guys always rocked the house with the Boogie in Detroit. You could feel the old floor shake in the Grande Ballroom. Everybody boogied till the break of dawn! Hell yeah Chris Youlden, we still want to boogie some mo!!
What memories!!! I loved the Grande, say them there every time they played. They rocked the house down. I remember seeing them at Cobo Hall once, but they weren't quite big enough to fill the place. Nothing on earth will replace those days at Russ Gibb's Grande Ballroom. Thanks for the memories DW.
I saw this lineup several times in San Francisco 1969. This was the Best Gawdam Boogie Band of All Time. Saw another version in Ventura Ca later on, Great, yes, but this Original Lineup was the Absolute Best!! RIP Kim Simmons & Top Hats off to Chris Youlden! Where ever He May Be!!
This album has gotten me through almost 50 years of life, so listening to Savoy Brown with a sprinkling of Canned Heat, has made every day a little better with "THE BOOGIE"
I was 9yrs old 1969 when i was introduced to savoy brown,my sisters and brothers shared with me the best music,brought me to shows all the time. Music is the ultimate time machine.
saw them in New jersey in 1970 WITH Van Morrison and the Allman Brothers Band, Duane was still alive...Ticket Price 3 Dollars!!!!...every venue in every US city rocked the roof off like this...it was INCREDIBLE
@@ScottishT.Warriorman LOL….my bother….the opening act was ….Savoy Brown… it was THE time of times…being 16, living between New York City and Philadelphia venues…the music flowed. Pretty sure things were/are pretty great in Scotland
@@ScottishT.Warriorman I know she had the time of her life!!!!!! Bet you heard ALL the great music, with such an Aunt…plus all the music of your generation. That’s such good fortune!!!!
RIP Kim Simmonds. Got to see him at the Grande Ballrom in Detroit in early 1969, with Chris Youlden, the best version of the band, IMO. 25 years later, they actually came to Sarasota, to play at a bar called The Gator Club. Kim was the only original member, which he always would be. I sat at a little high top table not far from the front. During a break, I corralled him. I mentioned I had seen him in Detroit at the Grande 15 years earlier. He got a big grin and a wistful look and said Detroit was their favorite place to play. He said the fans knew their music and the blues and that the band knew that if the people there appreciated them that they had to be doing something right. Of course, they later live recorded "Savoy Brown Boogie," dedicated to the people of "Deeetroit."
I saw them at the Grande Ballroom too. I remember Chris Youlden had his top hat and cape doing "Train to Nowhere ". Louisiana Blues saw Kim playing is Gibson Les Paul and switching to his Flying V
Got this on vinyl when it was released . Great live performance and this band could rocknroll with the best . Made a bigger impact in the states than over here as did a lot of bands . I guess America being huge , bands could spread their wings . Great line up of musicians on this fabulous album . 🫶
Had the honor of seeing Savoy Brown at the Whiskey-au-go-go so many lifetimes ago. Live they were a power house… Sorry to hear lead guitarist Kim Simmons passed away…”the light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long…
Even the name "Savoy Brown" is 60's cool, they ARE pure rock & roll. Chris Youlden's long asides to the audience stir the crowd into a frenzy. Boogie 'til the break of dawn. In Edmonton! uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh
great recording. this little live boogie has been on my "playlist" for the last 54 years. a great live band on record back then with peverett, stevens, earl, youlden and simmonds. I thought I would have graduated to the classical symphonies as I've gotten older, but music like this kept me grounded in rock.
Savoy Brown I have been listening to for 53 years. They are under appreciated Blues Band. Life's One Act Play is in my top 5 Blues Tunes of all time. So many folks done know of SB. Boston Brad
I saw hundreds of groups perform . they were the first: Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara. Sat in front: this is what they played. The unbelievable "sloppiness" of the sound has etched that night in my mind forever. They were never the same after Chris Youlden left....
Spent hours in front of the home stereo console furniture thing listening to this when I was 13-14 YO . Chris Youlden was in CHARGE of this show. If he had told me to burn my house I might have done it. What a voice.
Got this vinyl. Still can't get enough of it. I knew a guy back in the mid 1970's every time he heard this he'd jump up & go nuts dancing & having fun. R I P Walt.
Back in '70s, my Bro & I were workin' at a local garage, turnin' wrenches.Most times, we ate at the shop, but on payday (Fri.),the boss would give us a l'il Xtra time to go to the bank and cash our checks. No sooner than we punched the time clock, this tape got slammed in the 8-track, a heater got twisted, and we were jammin'!! When the Boogie got close to the end, we knew it was time to head back to the shop !! Good times!!
To me this is a classic song 👍👍👍👍 especially now in 2022 they don’t make them like this anymore- and I still play a lot of their music now on the weekends 👍👍🏆🎸
I was 16 years old the year before, sitting in the front row of the mezzanine in the Fillmore East, eyes dilated, elevated, getting Boogyfied by Youlden, Simmons, and the baddest Boogie Band to step off the British Isle. It was 1968, and the future was bright. Lawd a Mercy, Wha 'appened?
The picture on the inside of this album cover was taken at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. I used to love to watch them blow the roof off there. What a band!
Savoy Brown were almost a house band at The Grande Ballroom in Detroit with this lineup. Saw them several times: Kim Simmonds was a good blues guitarist and Chris Youlden was an excellent singer. They always put on a great show and were loved in Detroit.
@@luvwings Weren't those the good old days? Savoy Brown, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, The Cream, The Who, Janis and Jeff Beck with Rod Stewart; we were blessed as kids to be able to go to the Grande Ballroom.
@@Hooptyhee8 I use to go to the MC5's house on Hill St. when they moved to Ann Arbor. The Stooges lived next door. What a neighborhood that was in the good old days.
I was 16 and at the concert ! Cobo hall ! Detroit mi. Great up close ! For concerts if you arrived early. Ear piercing leads added to the gun. I played bass in a couple of teenage groups. Allot of fun and memories. Rock / roll forever.
uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,will now baby hole lotta shakin goin on 65 and i can still listen to this on stereo equipment purchased in ramstein germany. 45 yrs ag0TURN IT Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bought this album in 1979 @ Carbondale, IL at what was a record store & head shop all in one ! Wish I could remember the name of this place. Played this album over & over. While not their best, it is my favorite, brings back great memorys !
I've let all my Neighbors hear this at concert hall volume with the windows wide open at 3:00 AM early on a Monday morn, you know I never received any thanx for doin that 🐸 never 😎
I bought this album when I was like 15or16 I’m 64 now. Saw them once when I was 16 in Long Island N.Y. Had to be 18 to get in but I looked old enough so they let me in. Chris Y. I still Love this now as much as I did then. I’ve got it on my I phone. It’s available in the App Store. Worth every penny. Greatest Jam ever! Come on now boogie children yeah!
I recall the first time hearing this, walking into an insane party, this album was playing, speakers turned on high, it just swooped me up & carried me to another dimension...Thanks Savoy Brown...❤
Incredible band. My uncle gave this album to my older brother in about 1970 and we’ve never stopped listening to it. Another great track is Made up My mind which has a great swing to it! And also the song I’m Tired is also great
being a radio 'personality' on an extremely popular underground radio station in Detroit back then...I can tell all NOBODY ROCKED MORE OR BETTER THAN DEEE-TROIT!!!!
Weed,Eureka,Cali forn i a, we'd put on a long spinner and anounce we were taking a Bay area breaker,everyone knew what that meant.great times.. YOu were the best in Detroit,we were in Cali. well, at least nocal.
How cool it is to hear him talk about Detroit. Born and raised in Detroit, still live nearby. I was a bit young to be listening to them back in 69, 'discovered' Savoy Brown in high school after hearing 'Louisiana Blues' on the radio one night while cruising around the city with my buddies. May well have been listening to WABX
A schoolmate of mine possessed a massive vinyl collection,RIP Charlie,which influenced me greatly.His favorite band,turned me on to this in the early 7o's.We visited Hamilton Mall together,Listening Booth,discovered Foghats 2nd release,Rock and Ham Sandwich,lol,those were the days!
Bought this LP whilst serving in the Army in Germany in 1969. My CSM heard some of it and asked what strength of "weed" I was smoking!! They came to sunny Barnstaple in N.Devon the following year and I was lucky enough to see them at the Queens Theatre. The whole place rocked. I sold the LP many years ago so listening to this has brought it all back!! Good times they were back then.
From my youth! Following me all the time of my life! Remember this vinyl in a garden playng it fuckin loud 04.30 in the morning with some good friends, good memory🙏🎸🎼🎹🥁
the Cobo Hall show in Detroit with The Faces and Savoy Brown, with the Faces playing the Jerusalem album and Savoy in full flight on the Boogie, it was a concert that gave Detroit it's name as the best audience in rock and roll.
Remember hearing this on KSHE radio in St. Louis and ran out the next day and bought the LP! Still ROCKS to this day! Has anyone heard the remastered version? Is it worth it? Wish it didn't fade out at the end...Chris Youlden sure had a strong set of pipes!!!
Kermit No sh!t, I heard this on Chicago radio station WGLD, (which became WXRT) in '70! I did the same thing, ran out the next day and got it! Funny how music that was good then, still is? God Bless Kim Simmonds he kept touring until the end!
Bought this album when it first came out. Shortly after that I attended my first concert. It was The Grease Band (minus Joe Cocker), The Faces, and Savoy Brown, at the Portland Oregon coliseum. Tickets were $3. I was 14.
Still have the album and thanks for the memories from my freshman year. Heard the album that year with my roommate and several of our friends. We got in the right frame of mind and about a minute into "The Boogie" we were all smiling and bopping.
I was a sophomore in high school when this album came out. I barely listened to any other song on the lp but this. Kicked ass then and still kicks ass NOW.
He sure was milton!!! But not to me, and obviously You too!!! Kim Simmonds was always a tone freak-- like Leslie West. Kim always had a Great sounding Guitar/amp combination. This recording sounds like the classic Gibson V/Marshall Rig. I seen Savoy Brown at Detroit's Eastown Theatre, around 1970, expecting a Marshall, but Kim was using all Ampeg & a Les Paul SG. Kim and the band still sounded like a million bucks!!!
I can't remember which, but I believe the live side of this album was recorded either at the Grande or the Eastown. These guys had almost achieved house band status. Savoy Brown loved the D!
Great, great version. About 16 years ago I had this on as we crossed into the US, at the US-Canada border. Arriving in Tucson we picked up the local freebie paper and in a small block, maybe 1"1/2" X1" was an ad for the Savoy Brown at some brewpub. When we got in, because they hadn't advertised ,there may have been 20 people. Had a great chat for about 20 minutes with Kim Simmonds. He said he couldn't believe he was still doing this after so long. Still put on a couple of great sets. Anxious to tell one of my Vancouver friends when we got back, he said " saw them in Vancouver. Close to 700-800 people in the club" He asked how big the crowd was in Tucson.
Rock in Peace Kim Simmonds, he passed away from cancer on December 13. If you love Savoy Brown, take some time during your day and play a lot of Kim's music. He was a great blues guitarist.
We lost Kim, Jeff Beck, Top Topham [first Yardbirds guitarist], Gary Rossington, David Crosby and a few more rockers seemingly within a month of each other. That rocked me.
Hell yeah. They weren't big enough for some stupid reason. So got front balcony at Toronto Massey Hall several times. Never forgotten.
Moved to London in 1966. My first concert was Dylan in 1965 (Portland, Oregon with crazed beatniks protesting about going electric). Then Hendrix at a small club in Soho, then Savoy Brown. Loved Savoy and saw them often. The Boogie varied in length depending on blood alcohol and medication levels😅. Kim was awesome. RIP
Kim was mine in DETROIT♥️

I'm 65 years old and I was 16 years old when I heared this song the first time, and it's been there since than. Thanks Savoy Brown for best all time music ever.
I was 17 they were on tour with Terry Reid backing Jethro Tull at Leeds town hall my first rock concert. What a night
16 at Birmingham Town Hall, also Terry Reid, Jethro Tull. Thought no one could beat Savoy Brown until Tull came on and blew them off stage. What a night indeed!
I am 66 I played this record to death back in the day, and of course with the volume all the way up to 11! Never saw them live though :-(
They LOVED Detroit, saw them a lot in here days

Best boogie song ever!! Been a Brown fan since 69!!
Best all time Boogie !!! Chris Youlden's voice ,and the piano is outrageous !!
Well...I don't boogie till the break of day too much anymore, but this sure brings back some memories. Great stuff.
Even the name "Savoy Brown" is 60's cool, they ARE pure rock & roll.
Chris Youlden's long asides to the audience stir the crowd into a frenzy.

My very first concert I attended was in 1969 at the Eastown Theater in Detroit and it was Savoy Brown and yes they played this song! Good times.
Eastown get here….man they always rocked Detroit….hard! I may be old but I saw ALL the great bands back then Detroit rocked many stories some fuzzy😉
For those who know it, you never forget it. Just one of those live performances where everything clicked. Pure magic.
How fortunate that this brief, bittersweet, raw moment was captured when the boogie was in our veins 24/7, largely because Savoy Brown put it there.
great recording. this little live boogie has been on my "playlist" for the last 54 years. a great live band on record back then with peverett, stevens, earl, youlden and simmonds. I thought I would have graduated to the classical symphonies as I've gotten older, but music like this kept me grounded in rock.
With over 60 musicians passing through the band, Kim Simmons kept the legacy alive. He WAS Savoy Brown.
RIP KS
Best version of this by the best version of the band. Never the same after Chris Youlden left. The opening 12 bars are just killer.

Excellent band and seriously underrated as well.
Detroit loved Savoy Brown
Fantastic Tune from Savoy Brown. Like Fleetwood Macs Rattle Snake Shake.
I hope you mean the live version
I saw hundreds of groups perform . they were the first: Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara. Sat in front: this is what they played. The unbelievable "sloppiness" of the sound has etched that night in my mind forever. They were never the same after Chris Youlden left....
HELL YEAH !!!
Spent hours in front of the home stereo console furniture thing listening to this when I was 13-14 YO . Chris Youlden was in CHARGE of this show. If he had told me to burn my house I might have done it.
What a voice.
Im feelin you!!!!!!
Saw them live in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1970 or '71. Awesome. Of course, they played this boogie, with Cris Youlden. Wild night.
I brought this album on vinyl when I was about 15yrs old I still have it and like to play it loud occasionally on a Sunday morning
Best boogie song ever.Chris Youlden knows his boogie.
Time for the Hall of Fame. They paid their dues. Damn good band, too!

Brings back some memories for sure ! Awesome band.
being a radio 'personality' on an extremely popular underground radio station in Detroit back then...I can tell all NOBODY ROCKED MORE OR BETTER THAN
DEEE-TROIT!!!!
Steven Monkiewicz , better believe it WABX baby
Weed,Eureka,Cali forn i a, we'd put on a long spinner and anounce we were taking a Bay area breaker,everyone knew what that meant.great times.. YOu were the best in Detroit,we were in Cali. well, at least nocal.
How cool it is to hear him talk about Detroit. Born and raised in Detroit, still live nearby. I was a bit young to be listening to them back in 69, 'discovered' Savoy Brown in high school after hearing 'Louisiana Blues' on the radio one night while cruising around the city with my buddies. May well have been listening to WABX
WABX--listened to it constantly, 1968-72! Motor City Maniax Rule!
Steven---- WABX has group site and we would sho'nuff hear from ya
A schoolmate of mine possessed a massive vinyl collection,RIP Charlie,which influenced me greatly.His favorite band,turned me on to this in the early 7o's.We visited Hamilton Mall together,Listening Booth,discovered Foghats 2nd release,Rock and Ham Sandwich,lol,those were the days!
can't stop this locomotive!
Rest in peace Kim , thank you for the music and memories 🎸🕊️
Bought this LP whilst serving in the Army in Germany in 1969. My CSM heard some of it and asked what strength of "weed" I was smoking!! They came to sunny Barnstaple in N.Devon the following year and I was lucky enough to see them at the Queens Theatre. The whole place rocked. I sold the LP many years ago so listening to this has brought it all back!! Good times they were back then.
From my youth! Following me all the time of my life! Remember this vinyl in a garden playng it fuckin loud 04.30 in the morning with some good friends, good memory🙏🎸🎼🎹🥁
the Cobo Hall show in Detroit with The Faces and Savoy Brown, with the Faces playing the Jerusalem album and Savoy in full flight on the Boogie, it was a concert that gave Detroit it's name as the best audience in rock and roll.
It all started at the Grande Ballroom
The perfect album of all time boogie!
KIM,SIM.ON'S SAVOY,BROWN,BAND.STEP,FUTHER,BOGGIE.LIVE'S ON.GOD,BLESS
love love love this boogie!
I was at the concert in Detroit that Chris dedicates this to. They kept playing!
Denise O: Sorry honey child, this was recorded at Cooks Ferry, England.
Remember hearing this on KSHE radio in St. Louis and ran out the next day and bought the LP! Still ROCKS to this day! Has anyone heard the remastered version? Is it worth it? Wish it didn't fade out at the end...Chris Youlden sure had a strong set of pipes!!!
Kermit No sh!t, I heard this on Chicago radio station WGLD, (which became WXRT) in '70! I did the same thing, ran out the next day and got it! Funny how music that was good then, still is? God Bless Kim Simmonds he kept touring until the end!
they knocked down the Cooks Ferry Inn. Nothing left except this fitting tribute.
Bought this album when it first came out. Shortly after that I attended my first concert. It was The Grease Band (minus Joe Cocker), The Faces, and Savoy Brown, at the Portland Oregon coliseum. Tickets were $3. I was 14.
I have to say I did hear this on our local rock radio station played in its full length back in the 70's. A classic for sure.
Great band. I feel sorry I've never saw them live.
Saw this version of the band in Wadena Iowa at a rock fest in 1970. They were the best edition of SB I ever saw. Bob Hall's piano added a lot
Saw them at the Shrine in LA around 68-9, this vintage. They were the greatest. Chris Youlden was the best.
Still have the album and thanks for the memories from my freshman year. Heard the album that year with my roommate and several of our friends. We got in the right frame of mind and about a minute into "The Boogie" we were all smiling and bopping.
I was a sophomore in high school when this album came out. I barely listened to any other song on the lp but this. Kicked ass then and still kicks ass NOW.
Savoy Brown paved the modern day boogie road!
Kim Simmonds was underrated!!
He sure was milton!!! But not to me, and obviously You too!!! Kim Simmonds was always a tone freak-- like Leslie West. Kim always had a Great sounding Guitar/amp combination. This recording sounds like the classic Gibson V/Marshall Rig. I seen Savoy Brown at Detroit's Eastown Theatre, around 1970, expecting a Marshall, but Kim was using all Ampeg & a Les Paul SG. Kim and the band still sounded like a million bucks!!!
milton anderson still is
@@grasscarpets Right you are! Milton, check out some recent stuff from the band, Kims been touring as a 3 piece for years. Still at it.
still is!! Great guitarist!!
He's one of the very best. Top ten in my book.
Saw Savoy Brown in Tucson in 1972 with Uriah Heep. Needless to say, Savoy Brown Smoked Them. Great Show for a 14 year old kid..
I can't remember which, but I believe the live side of this album was recorded either at the Grande or the Eastown. These guys had almost achieved house band status. Savoy Brown loved the D!
that they did ‘
Seen them at the Grande but I think I also saw them at Cobo Arena. Great time to be young, great concerts and boo-cuu poontang!
this jam just flat out kicks ass gets the juices flowing naff said
Great, great version. About 16 years ago I had this on as we crossed into the US, at the US-Canada border. Arriving in Tucson we picked up the local freebie paper and in a small block, maybe 1"1/2" X1" was an ad for the Savoy Brown at some brewpub. When we got in, because they hadn't advertised ,there may have been 20 people. Had a great chat for about 20 minutes with Kim Simmonds. He said he couldn't believe he was still doing this after so long. Still put on a couple of great sets. Anxious to tell one of my Vancouver friends when we got back, he said " saw them in Vancouver. Close to 700-800 people in the club" He asked how big the crowd was in Tucson.
"The Boogie" seems to last for hours when you hear it under the influence of good LSD. Truly Amazing.
One of the greatest live tracks I've heard. Just a great rockin' boogie jam.💥😎
The first time I ever listened to this, I went nuts when they did Hernando's Hideaway lol
Had this album in 1970 was great then still great now..
