I am 70 yrs old and saw this in concert. Possible this very show in person . It gets me so excited and full of happiness joy even now. I could just jump up and down while love live love these great singers and band. They were and are my favorite ❤❤❤🎉😊
This song has a extremely strong connection with me coming out of the Army in 1970 when I was 22 years old. I literally felt like a old man next to my college classmates. One of the many bands that transports me back fifty years to what seens like another universe.
An Incredible group, and still not given the accolades they surely deserved. Maybe their antics put people off recognizing how superb they were. I certainly respect them more than many rock and roll hall of famers!!!
Written by Laura Nyro, released on the 1969 album, " Suitable For Framing", this live version by Three Dog Night is a glowing masterpiece. The vocals alone are mind blowing and the instruments absolutely take on a new life in this exquisite rendition and are so explosive in a giant Rock love in. Fantastic time. 🎶🎶 Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Henry. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Almost 50 years after this show was done and I still get chills. I can name on 2 hands Three Dog Nights greatest songs, with more to spare. The idea was rather unique, having three virtuoso singers, pushing each other to get the best sound. If you were alive in the late 1960s you knew Three Dog Night.
This great song, Easy to be Hard, and Try a Little Tenderness are my favorites plus others are very very good. Yes, 3 great singers. Very successful band from 68 to probably 75 One of my favorite groups ever!!!!
Rip Corey . Such a soulful and kind looking individual. I followed them from day 1. The impression is hard to describe that they made on us teens way back then. Great reaction. Ty. Melissa Ward here.
Actually, preferred the live version (Around the World with Three Dog Night) of this song over the studio version. Mainly because the original was only around 2 minutes running time. Great reaction as always.
Cory Wells also sang the track you liked, Try a little tenderness! This entire concert on Soundstage 1975 was fire! All 3 can sing! They start the concert with FAMILY OF AND MAN. The harmony, OMGOSH! Shows why they are in the Vocal Hall of Fame.Thank you, Harry, for this reaction! It was bomb!❤
What a wonderful selection Henry. This performance is outstanding. Gotta love those bell bottoms. Such a great band. Nice reaction. Thanks Harri and Henry 🌺✌️
Just started watching 3DN reactions - yours is the 2nd. :-) Thanks for sharing it. I listened to 3DN when they were new (had several of their albums) but I never realized how influenced they were by Gospel Music until now. It's a revelation to those of us who were young suburbanite kids who hadn't heard Gospel yet. :-)
If you have not covered it yet I would highly recommend Laura Nyro’s version of the song, which she wrote. By layering her own voice, she manages to capture the whole harmony of the grou. It’s fantastic.
I'm 53 and somehow had never heard of these guys until last night. I saw a documentary about them then went and checked out the Eli's Comin' performance right after and it floored me.
I remember, as a child in the late 1960s, listening to the studio version of this song on the AM radio in my mom's car. This live version is simply incredible. Thanks for sharing & reacting!
3 Dog Night is so good, such a part of my teen years and early adult hood. 3 lead singers who blend so well together yet all unique in their talent so rare in today's music. Got to see them live twice, what a GREAT show. Thank you for reacting to this great song. Imagine being in that audience, everyone got taken to church!! Digging those bell bottoms, I remember back in the day when I PROUDLY wore them. lol
They are legendary!!! I so enjoyed your reaction! You have then most pleasant voice...I could listen to you all da long! They were all vocalists. They took turns with lead. That's why they were called Three Dog Night :)
Laura Nyro, I am a huge fan of hers songs, wherever they show up. I went to a Tiny High School..75 of us in my graduating class..in 1972! Someone heard me singing this song..and the next thing I knew, I was intrinsically intertwined with this song. Didn't know I was so popular or infamous that anyone cared what song I liked. Small towns are home....but they are weird. Try Feelin' Alright or In The Country or...Celebrate. For your personal enjoyment "Live at the Forum" sometimes when you have an hour to kill.
Three Dog Night is still my favorite group of all time. Whenever I want to be 16 again I just put on my TDN music and I am gone. Thanks for playing this Harri.
Saw Church in the late 90's when he was going by Chuck Negron formerly of TDN . He still had that wonderful voice. Got to sell merch after the show and meet him. He signed everything he could for me.
So many performances at Woodstock were fabulous. Try Country Joe and the Fish, and Santana, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. So many more. I was 16 when this happened. It is deep in me.
I so agree with you Harri. There is no better way to watch it live to me. Its gritty and real and fun! TY so much! Next from this same venue..." Liar" and Junkyard Blues!!!
😮 Tr m mcgraw Tim McGraw has to say I like it. I love it. I want some more of it. I may too. I'll say that a lot. I like it. I love it and I'll talk to beller of it
I like the original and 3DN versions, but my favorite is the instrumental jazz version by trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson from the M.F. Horn album. IT’s energy always reminded me of this live with the dynamic contrasts of the original. Still, one cannot be disappointed by the remarkable vocals like we hear here. Another wonderful selection and reaction! 👍🏻
I too prefer Laura Nyro. She was well known as a songwriter in her day, and many artists covered her - Blood, Sweat & Tears, the Fifth Dimension, Barbra Streisand, Peter, Paul & Mary - and Three Dog Night.
If you ever get the chance to hear TDN Live at The Forum in LA 1969 in the vinyl record get it, it is a stunning album. Even if you go to the vintage record store and listen through the headphones it will be worth the effort.
Eli’s Coming was written by Laura Nyro. She wrote the music and the lyrics. She never got the fame and recognition she deserved. She had extreme stage fright. You should listen to her version.
She’s one of my favorite singer/songwriters! Her first few albums contained so many hits- for other artists, anyway. She was really creative , ahead of her time. Yes, she had terrible stage fright. My sister saw her perform in the mid 70s. She only played for a half hour. Yes, I recommend that people listen to her version, as well as other hit songs she wrote. Thanks very much for mentioning her- and for being a fan.
Seen them twice on this tour. 6 months apart in Vancouver. 2nd show only 3000 people showed up cause so close together. Pacific Coliseum looked empty with lights on. The show was unreal, Pink Floydish at times. The crowd although small sounded like 100,000 people you could feel the place shake (a concrete hockey arena) with the stomping wanting encore. And did we get it.
The greatest cover band in the R&B/R&R era. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys twice during the early 70's and they never failed to entertain. Greatest of days man.
@@6916dog Facts don't care about your feelings. Anyone that records a song they didn't write made a cover of the song. That is the very definition of a cover. Any band who does nothing but songs by other bands is a cover band. Just because Three Dog Night had big hits with those songs doesn't belie the truth. I saw them twice during their heyday, loved them, and still do. It doesn't change the facts.
@@helgar791 A cover song is a new performance or recording of a previously recorded song by someone other than the original artist or composer. The new recording is typically similar to the original song in terms of structure, though the arrangement may differ. Three Dog Night is not a cover band
@@6916dog Can you not read or understand the definition of what a cover is? By definition this is exactly what Three Dog Night did. They recorded new performances of songs by other artists with different arrangements. What is your argument? That 3DN made old recordings of these songs? That 3DN did or didn't change the arrangement? Or perhaps your need to be right supersedes all logic. Even if you change some of the lyrics it's still a cover. In plainer English, if you didn't write the song and someone else recorded, wrote, or performed it first, THAT'S a cover.
Harri, please react to "Roses and Rainbows" written and sung by Danny Hutton one of the singers of Three Dog Night released in 1965 and was a big hit in Los Angeles I used to hear it a lot on AM radio, Kind of an early psychedelic song before it was a thing and a forgotten song.
They were ready and able to give their all, and make that audience happy. Imagine being in that audience experiencing this all live. What a night...
Saw them live. They were incredible. ❤
@@oldeskoolnana7543same here
Me too. Outstanding.
The 70,s were, and still are the best decade for good grooving music! Thx Harri!!
I sure remember the original version. I think I was in 8th grade, listening to it on the school bus on the way to school. Transistor radio, AM only! 😁
I loved my A.M. transistor radio...The original boom box! 😳😆
Oh WOW. This is IT. This will get you out of your chair for sure. Thanks Henry for referring it and thanks Harri. 👏👏🥰
@@renep2220 😂I never went anywhere without it! Hahahaha
@@bradtaggart5509Me either! I even had my radio glued to my ear at the family supper table.
Yes, for me this was 7th or 8th grade. My friends and I were quite intrigued by the thought of needing to hide our hearts from the mysterious Eli!
Whoever arranged this tune outdid themselves.
3 tasty vocalists in one band? That was the 70s baby.
I am 70 yrs old and saw this in concert. Possible this very show in person . It gets me so excited and full of happiness joy even now. I could just jump up and down while love live love these great singers and band. They were and are my favorite ❤❤❤🎉😊
I graduated high school in 1973. Three Dog Night were one of the hottest bands around. Their harmonies were incredible. I love their music.
Very astute and professional commentary. Thank you for not interrupting the song every 30 seconds.
No auto tune no computer edits this is the real deal
This song has a extremely strong connection with me coming out of the Army in 1970 when I was 22 years old. I literally felt like a old man next to my college classmates. One of the many bands that transports me back fifty years to what seens like another universe.
I still like the studio version better!
I too. I was months away from going into the military when I saw them, so obviously the same tour.
Yeah 👍 3 Dog Night. Should have been at Woodstock Like Chicago.🎵🌄
Great band!! They had 3 strong lead singers.
This is a SUPERB PERFORMANCE 🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶
An Incredible group, and still not given the accolades they surely deserved. Maybe their antics put people off recognizing how superb they were.
I certainly respect them more than many rock and roll hall of famers!!!
This has absolutely blew my mind ! And I thought I'd heard every Three Dog Night song that they was , but not this one. Killing it !
Always been a fan of theirs, a big thanks Hari. This and (Old fashioned love song) are favorites
Shambala gets me in the feels every time for the last 50+ years.
EEK The live version is off the chain Harri.
Written by Laura Nyro, released on the 1969 album, " Suitable For Framing", this live version by Three Dog Night is a glowing masterpiece.

I agree 100% with every word from the one and only Mary!! Thank you Henry and Harri for the great suggestion and wonderful reaction!!
@@juliewhite7469👍✌️🎶🇨🇦
@@keymack2477Thank you, my friend. 👍✌️🎶🇨🇦
I prefer the studio version to this one myself
The whole Soundstage concert is brilliant.
This is one of those slow-build-up songs that singes your eyebrows off when the hammer finally drops.
I absolutely love this live version of Eli's Coming! Great reaction!

Three Dog Night was my first ever concert, I was 14, and this was in '72. Great show, great band.......
My first also but in Spring of 1971 and I was 13.
Lucky you. Chicago was mine. Lucky me.
No. This was their 1975 Sound Stage performance of this song. Truly great.🌹
I was in the Midwest. Probably 13 or 14 also!
Not my first. That was Jethro Tull
This great song, Easy to be Hard, and Try a Little Tenderness are my favorites plus others are very very good. Yes, 3 great singers. Very successful band from 68 to probably 75
One of my favorite groups ever!!!!
Easy to be Hard! A forgotten or never played classic. Also Out in the Country...
Try a little tenderness.
Well chosen Henry. Welcome aboard the Bestie Family. Love 3DN and this video was icing on the cake.✌✌✌👍👍👍
Rip Corey . Such a soulful and kind looking individual. I followed them from day 1. The impression is hard to describe that they made on us teens way back then. Great reaction. Ty. Melissa Ward here.
I love the 60’s and 70’s music!! Great memories as a kiddo
And 80's
Actually, preferred the live version (Around the World with Three Dog Night) of this song over the studio version. Mainly because the original was only around 2 minutes running time. Great reaction as always.
I was blessed to have seen them live in concert...
Thumbs up!
These guys could sing.
Super great memories right there. Thank you Harri. I was 16 yo. 😮
It must have been a great experience to have seen them in this live performance. Very uplifting.
Cory Wells also sang the track you liked, Try a little tenderness! This entire concert on Soundstage 1975 was fire! All 3 can sing! They start the concert with FAMILY OF AND MAN. The harmony, OMGOSH! Shows why they are in the Vocal Hall of Fame.Thank you, Harry, for this reaction! It was bomb!❤
Is this the concert where they did the carnival costumes for Must Let The Show Go On? To be honest, that kinda freaked me out. Lol
Thanks for the Cory Wells shout out, Diana! He also was soul-filled in "Mama Told Me not to Come." May he be singing with the angels! ❤️
Just spectacular. What an epic group!
Saw them live in 1972 at Long Pond Pa. Poconos Rock Fest. Great reaction Harri. 200 thousand people attended this 2 day rock fest.
Three Dog Night was amazing. Very popular back in the 70s.
My favorite Three Dog Night song. Love this live version too. Thanks
Anyone who is Three Dog Night curious should really listen to their live album: Around the World with Three Dog Night!!! Amazing.
I am old now ... but fortunate to still remember all of the great musicians/bands as if it was yesterday.
Cory Wells' voice was so strong and pure -- gives me goosebumps to listen to him. RIP -- gone but not forgotten.
What a wonderful selection Henry. This performance is outstanding. Gotta love those bell bottoms. Such a great band. Nice reaction. Thanks Harri and Henry 🌺✌️

This is such a great version that energizes a live audience far beyond any slick, studio-produced version can.
TDN does a great ballad named "Pieces Of April."
3 Dog Night is so good, such a part of my teen years and early adult hood. 3 lead singers who blend so well together yet all unique in their talent so rare in today's music.

Goodness, seeing them ( only on tv) in the 60's, those vocals!
They took turns being the lead singer on different songs.
Love Three Dog Night
Great song! Thank you. 😊
Great song ☮️☮️☮️☮️
My fav from 3DN!! Saw them when I was 17! Im 68 now!
My favorite RDN song evercsnd I saw them twicecand danced my butt off both times!!!
🎶💙Have most of their albums. And gave our son most of them.💙🎶
Reason why there so good 3 singers great live band
It just strikes me 3 Dog Night could have gospel and Motown brilliantly with those soulful, bluesy almost church choir like voices. WOW!
Wow, just wow! ❤Beautiful
Great song from a Three Dog Night in the late 60's.
Thanks Harri. I was 17.

The f’n band was sooo good! And the singers were ok, too! Lol!
They dominated the radio in my early teens!
Peace
First time I’ve heard this song live!
I so agree with you Harri. There is no better way to watch it live to me. Its gritty and real and fun! TY so much! Next from this same venue..." Liar" and Junkyard Blues!!!
When I saw them sing this, they started it just like this here.
"Liar" from the "Live In Tennessee" concert dvd is also fantastic. The symphony orchestra really adds somethin to thier songs.
DAMN! That poor drummer is totally immersed in that fog machine at the beginning! How the hell could he breath???
This is always ILLWIYS ban on my playlist. I enjoy free currently and everyday. Everyday. I love it. I do it. I do it everyday
😮 Tr m mcgraw Tim McGraw has to say I like it. I love it. I want some more of it. I may too. I'll say that a lot. I like it. I love it and I'll talk to beller of it
😮 It's a wonderful way to enjoy the evening baby
Written by Laura Nyro and love her version best.
I love her writing but I’ve always preferred the versions by others to hers. I find hers a bit too frenetic. But she was a brilliant & unique voice.
I like the original and 3DN versions, but my favorite is the instrumental jazz version by trumpet legend Maynard Ferguson from the M.F. Horn album. IT’s energy always reminded me of this live with the dynamic contrasts of the original. Still, one cannot be disappointed by the remarkable vocals like we hear here.

Really? Hellllllllllllll no
I too prefer Laura Nyro. She was well known as a songwriter in her day, and many artists covered her - Blood, Sweat & Tears, the Fifth Dimension, Barbra Streisand, Peter, Paul & Mary - and Three Dog Night.

Damn damn damn what a voice!!!!!
The beautiful man singing the intro was Corey Wells. He passed away in 2015 due to lymphoma or some similar blood cancer.
Multiple myeloma. He left us much too soon. And he kept that heavenly voice right up to the end.

The best part of the video are the pants they are wearing! LOL
Used to wear those!😅
They were my first concert at 16 in Detroit!
Cory Wells first.then Danny Hutton.last was Chuck nergron
I really like them and have seen them in concert numerous times!
Oh, yeah! Freaking A!
& turns by the Alman Brothers...You'll be amazed...
I had such a crush on Chuck Negron
I have seen them at least a half dozen times in concert, and they were fire!
I've heard this song a thousand times, first time live! Thanks!
Wow, I've never heard this version. Cool pick
My brother listened 🎶 to them when I was 12 they are Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Sounds magnificent ❤❤
I heard this song a lot on the radio in the 70's. First time hearing this version. Very nice.
The greatest cover band in the R&B/R&R era. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys twice during the early 70's and they never failed to entertain. Greatest of days man.
