Who is here in 2024? I grew up with this song and BST in the early 70's and it's still one of my favorite songs! He had such swagger and even though not 'traditional ' lead singer looks, I think he was sexy AF!
I'm here in 2024.
Me too!
Yup
I'm hereeee today is 23 march 2024 😂
me! grew up loving this song but not knowing the band, despite having a very knowledgeable dad, and then learned about Go Down Gambling from the show “Preacher” and now I collect BS&T vinyl.
My father hated anything to do with Rock n Roll, but he loved this band because of the brass. He was a trombone player. RIP Dad.
My Dad liked big band music too
I feel you. My grandma sung this song and it made me like it. Rip grandma
Might I Suggest the Squirrel Nut Zippers?!?
Or Cake the Band....
ChiCago....
is that it has a fusion of Psychedelic Rock jazz and big band, and to top it off a circus band,....
Nobody, but nobody could sound like David Clayton Thomas! Another unmistakable voice, like John Kay of Steppenwolf!
My neighbors favourite song wether he likes it or not
Love it, lmao
I / hear\ that! 😆)LOL
Is your neighbor cranking the volume up? Lol
Haha!
Hey Bro, what dou you mean Your Neighbors?
David Clayton-Thomas actually looks happy to be singing this song. It's so great!
Just about everyone who's tried singing rock or rhythm and blues wishes they could get that tone, soul, grit and magic. D.C.T. seemed to express it all without effort. What a voice.
Oh Yeah!!!!!!! Got this Album hanging on my Wall!!!!! I'm 70 still Rock n Roll!!!!!!
Born in Summer '66 .. one of the first songs I ever remember hearing ... what an amazing voice Thanks for posting !
Hello fellow Gemini.
One of the most iconic voices in rock.
he wrote this song
Exactly, and I’ve known that voice for some 55 years now without ever seeing his face before!
@@janetownley Me too. I'm watching this because I wanted to see what he looked like.
One of the greatest voices of all-time.
Really? 🤣 I love his style ❤
In 69 when I first heard this, I could not get enough. That was am on the radio...
Sounded great on a 4 channel 8 track.
David Clayton Thomas IMO has the finest, most underappreciated voices in '60s- 70's rock.
Bill Thehat they weren’t seen as counter culture enough. They played on a State Department sponsored tour in Eastern Europe, which at the time was poorly regarded by the young of America They did it in exchange for the lead singer needed some visa problems cleared up, he is Canadien/British.
They also did a sort of residency at Caesars Palace in Vegas. Again, though they were connected to the popular rock bands of the era, this was not looked at positively by the young rock fans at the time.
I can’t say I blame them for doing either. It’s always nice to have a get out of jail card and a steady gig with steady pay for musicians of the era was a luxury back then.
@@chrisconley8583 They were cooler than cool and more talented than most “acceptable”young bands. 👍🏼
@@iluvpepi David Clayton Thomas' voice sure beats Jim Morrison or Bruce Springsteen.
Loved his voice along with John Kay.
reminds me of Tom Jones in this video ;-)
It's Christmas, and my 83-year old mom is visiting. We love music, so I'm showing her incredible archive of music available on UA-cam, because she is entirely unaware of this. In the early 70s my parents liked Blood, Sweat & Tears - so I've shown her this, and she's in absolute heaven, as am I! What wonderful memories! Thank you SO MUCH for posting!
This is so cool
Love it!
This music was after her time your parents stayed hip to the music.
Hi Nature if you don't mind me asking how is your Mom doing?
Va fan så jävla bra from Swedish to English this is so dam Good! From a swede
My 3Yr old Granddaughters love this song, as soon as they hear the first few notes, they start dancing!
I saw them live in 1969 from about 20 feet away, at the Marjorie Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD - two nights in a row. I lived 20 minutes from the venue, it was summer, and we managed to get some tickets. Great concert - at the end of the 2nd night, they said that that was their last performance on their tour and were going on hiatus for a while, so they thought they'd jam for a while. After about an extra hour of concert, they finally broke for the night. It was wonderful. One of my favorite groups of the late 1960s.
I saw them live in 1970, and they played a bit over 2 hours and played 7 tunes. Seven. Smiling Phases by itself ran nearly 45 minutes. This was a band whose core was studio jazz musicians, and they were capable of the most amazing improvisations I've ever seen.
Rebel Tuba I wish I would have seen it but I was a little kid.
So jelly
Back when bands had REAL musicians, unlike the dumbdowned fools of today.
@@Johngonefishin HOW TRUE !!
Here I am reading your comment from New York City Thursday March 28th 3:45 in the morning. in the 70s was real music not like today it's crazy
One of the most unique voices in modern music in my opinion.
This is one of the most amazing bass lines in all of music. It carries the entire piece. Love this band, this is an incredible album, too.
Our high school dorm attended a fabulous Blood Sweat and Tears concert in Munich, Germany in 1969. We were thrilled. A classmate took wonderful photos, enlarged them in his darkroom and sold them for a dollar each. I bought a few. Wonderful times!
Awesome bass playing.
Just love how so many of the rock bands of the 60s and 70s mixed jazz with their music!
The horns and the odd meter part- that’s not allowed now!
we don't give a damn about any trumpet playing bands....it ain't what they call rock and roll. - dire straits
This guys voice is great
One song that brings back childhood memories
One of the best bands in the 70s. Oh, how I miss those days!
What's a "painted pony" mean?
@@mccauleyprop The horse on a Merry-Go-Round.
@@grayboo212 Thanks!
They seemed to be more in the 1960s.
I love the horns in this....
That groove during the guitar solo... Great drums and bass
Born in early sixties i've never stopped listening to AM radio when driving , because of songs like these, for that feeling of distance especially at night between you and the station fading in and out, don't care about the audio quality, am mono and all the dirtyness that comes in with AM. A particular feel for what others ears can't tolerate is a symphony to me.
Just heard this for the first time. Made me feel like a teenager from the 70s. OBSESSED! This is total greatness and I'm thankful to have stumbled across such history in music.
first record i ever bought in 1969 what a classic song. To this day i still love it. What a unique sound and brillant vocals
me too. and I still got the record.
I loved this song as a kid. I used to listen to it over and over. I was like 4 so I thought it was about a merry go round. This is back when musicians looked like plumbers and repair man. Just normal Joes making tunes.
Arcana7609 my sister loved this song too and she was 4. Maybe she thought the same thing now that you mention it!! Lol!!
I'm a normal fuck-machine man.
Arcana7609 Me too..lol
Same here. Loved this tune as a kid. Something magical about it.
there were plenty of musicians during this time and throughout history who dressed weird or didn't look like an average joe, there are also musicians today who don't wear weird or eccentric clothes and look like average joes
NICE!!! Great video, good looking lead singer has a amazing rare southerny nice voice, love this song and I've always loved Blood Sweat&Tears 🎷🎶🎺🎶👍👍
Sooooo much soul in his voice
He was feeling this track!
He was lol!!!!
Missing the amazing double time solo by Lew Solof! I know this was for TV, but that's the best part of the song!
R.I.P. Lew!
Talk about a "Rare" bird right there, he can boil water with that voice, the whole band was phenomenal! ;-)
Damn, Blood Sweat & Tears were FONKY!!! Master musicians playing outside the box, David Clayton Thomas' soulful & melodic growling, and those horns that penetrate your soul! I have this on CD, cassette, AND 8-Track! (My dad's) The soundtrack of my youth is unsurpassed by anything since!
#Salute
What no Vinyl! This new vinyl thing just might catch on..
Bobby Colomby was a bad ass! So was Jim Fielder!
What a rhythm section! Just everything! Steve Katz and them rocking' horns!
Real. Miss it.
+JW GT Bobby Colomby is awesome. I listen to jazz and Big Band because of this record which I listened to everyday for about a year when I was 9.
Ahhh the 70's when you could be a "band geek" and still be in a rock band. :)
When I was a little kid my older brother had a record player and a collection of maybe 10 or 15 singles and a couple of k-tel albums. This was one of them. He played it over and over. Luckily, it was a great song.
The lead singer is working it!!! You go, David Clayton-Thomas!!! #teamClayton-Thomas!! This is how they did it back in the day.
Clayton's face is priceless when he's singing
Yes
One of the greatest voices of the rock era.
I love his voice! Born April of 74, i should've been born 20 years earlier. I missed Woodstock and everything 😢
A great band and killer vocalist! I once did the back line amps and drums for them at an outdoor gig in Chicago and Mr.Thomas was a very sweet guy. He treated me like a member of the band.We played Frisbee and had a couple of drinks before the show. Thanks for the memories.
It's so refreshing to see an actual *live* performance from this era. Usually I can only find miming to studio tracks when I look up 60s/early 70s "live" videos (for the most part).
That build up from 1:02 through to 1:30 is beautiful - gives you shivers :)
He looks like the toy action figure of the Six Million Dollar Man!
mistofoles
Man, what a great analogy, an Oscar Goldman type dude!
Classic!
Hahahaha
mistofoles LOL! XD I remember I had that action figure. Your TOO funny.
+mistofoles OMG! He does! I cannot stop laughing!
Geez, I remember when this came out! Loved the song!
I remember hearing this song on the radio as a child when we lived in Central Florida either in 1969 or 1970. I still love this song and always will!
Such a great song.
Always loved David Clayton Thomas's voice. Sends shivers up my spine, even still!
Such great music, nothing like it today
Damn....they sound freakin great live!!!
The guys on the horns were on point
ree
!!!Chuckee..Baby!!!! ... 🎺 Erm but respectfully .. "Professor Chuck." that is... 🤗 ❤️ Still charish all you taught us. 🎷 ♥️🅱️.W.♥️
They were on point because they had learned that from watching the James Brown band.
Chuck was my ear training instructor at UMA!
I remember hearing this when I was very young in the 1970's. Damn, brings back weird feelings and memories.
Same here!! Born in 1970!!
You could not escape this song at the time
this is a groovy song
sure is a classic...
Fantastic performance! 👏🏼 RIP keyboardist Dick Halligan. 🙏🏼
One of the greatest band names ever.
Good band too.
"Spinning Wheel" Lyrics...
What goes up, must come down
Spinning wheel got to go round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles, it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel spin
You got no money and you, you got no home
Spinning wheel, all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel turn
Did you find a directing sign on the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign?
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel spinning through
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride
Ha!
Someone's waiting just for you
Spinning wheel spinning through
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel fly
This was one of my dads favourite songs.
He is no longer with us now, I miss him...
Gracias for the Lyrics, your dad knew great music, I'm very sure he is watching out for you & your family, Merry Christmas 🎅🤶
Great voice, great song
A big great classic, that few others musicians know how to reinterpretate 🎶🎤🎸🎹🎺🎷🥁😉
what a singer DCT is fantastic and the whole band are brilliant 10/10
Goddamn this man can sing
Wow! The clarity of this video is insane! It looks like it was on TV this year, not in 1969! I wish more videos from the 60's & 70's were like this...but not all, because some are just too cool the way they are...but the crystal clearness sure is awesome (if that makes sense lol). Love it!
David Clayton-Thomas. What a great voice!
Truly an excellent song. I enjoyed this one and another by them.
so funny - I've been hearing his voice for decades - but thx to youtube can see him perform. What a talent.
he's still performing! fantastic.
Always loved this tune. Great song!
David Clayton-Thomas Had (Has) Some Of The Best Vocals Out there!
Mr. Thomas has one of the coolest voices when he sings!
Awesome live performance!
Great song 😁brings back memory's of my Dad.
Mine too.... he played this song all the time and I hated it. Now that he’s gone I’m really starting to appreciate the music he listened to. The stones, led zeppelun, Jimi Hendrix, cream, Allman Bros. When I hear them I think of him and old times
LOVE ME SOME BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS!
I still love it as much as I did in 1969. Blood, Sweat and Tears what a band, still amazing! David Clayon-Thomas what a voice. I am so glad that I can hear it (and see it) at UA-cam om my iMac.
A good oldie. One of my favorites.
Blood Sweat & Tears! This is a perfect song, definitely in my top 10 favorite songs of all time. David Clayton-Thomas had an amazing, unique voice and the band is fantastic! This has got to the best live performance of the this song hands down.
takes me back to my earliest memories.
This is great! 🎉
I wanted to find BTS's Blood Sweat and Tears piano cover, and this is where I ended up :D
Me too ahahhahha xD
feel you bro.Hahahaha
Japono Momma Same 😂
+Reyes Rules I love you, you look soo preety ;D
Fabulous
What a great live version.
Sweet! David Clayton Thomas is a legend!
much talent to be appreciated
Lew Soloff their lead trumpet player passed away a today. His solo for Spinning Wheel (sadly not on this video) is one for the ages.
rocklandrez It was epic!! The musicianship on this song is off the charts!!!
Awesome! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Awesome trumpet, great lip!
Love this song
Always loved this mystical funk!👍👀
Still Powerful! I used to think this was Tom Jones!! So wrong....
Those horns are hot!
Thanks for posting!!!
🎷📯🎺💛💛
BST was an innovator, they influenced Chicago and Steely Dan.
Same time as Chicago, different influences. CTA and Child is Father to the Man came out the same year.
William Flanagan Same producer as well? Guercio?
Mom was influenced as well.
Hard to say who influenced who. A lot of groups came up around the same time with a similar sound, like Sons of Champlin. Maybe Vehicle by Ides Of March was a direct influence, even the lead singer sounded like DCT. Maybe you could argue the Beatles influenced them all, with Got To Get You Into My Life. ;)
the lead singer actually knows how to sing
R.I.P. oldies
This is a live version, so you have to give him props for hitting the beat and not improvising from the original.
I grew up with this music. This guy truly had an incredibly "unique voice. A rich voice. He really made a song stand out ❤.
Yup, I remember this song- used to hear it all the time at my first job, a discount retail store on Long Island. Always found it catchy, easy to listen to- only recently discovered these here on YT; I'd forgotten about them til that point. Glad I found them!
Letterman acknowledge Lew Soloff's passing today. Paul said Soloff started Rock Jazz and says he'll miss him. Blood Sweat and Tears. What a fun band.
Dusty Rhodes Viva Lew Soloff!
Letterman....Bwahahahahahahahaha. Jew Nepotism.
Lew was one of the best.
@@harmonytunes3949 You are such an asshole. To the end of his life Lew could play the solo on Spinning Wheel going all the way up to High A. That's for what an asshole you are.
Sooooooooooo '70's
This 8-track tape was one of about 25 that my parents played continuously throughout my childhood in the 70's. Lots of memories.
Blood Sweat and Tears was a group that when it came on the radio you cranked it up. And it's time Blood Sweat and Tears was one of the greatest artists that hit the stage. They put the word concert in concert. Well over 4 hours. This era turned out the greatest music ever heard there was nothing like the 60s. The Sounds will never be duplicated again. I know I lived it. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😘
He was great and the band was great.
Epic, great music, fantastic voice, wonderful lyrics. Thanks.
Every great group had a major lead singer. I dig the horns and everyone stands out at one time or another on this song.
Saw these guys at the "Swap Shop" in Ft Lauderdale Fl back in '91. Wish I'd known as a kid, although I already knew their music, just how fortunate I was at the time. Was right in front of this man.
Another great 70s band!!!
