Incredibly lucky more than anyone would realize just those of us very blessed with this very special time 1976 16 years old my first everything Bless those special days I long for them
Doobie Brothers sound just as good today. I saw them at a Casino in 2010 and was like, shit, they still great. In this Vid the kids were like WTH.... ua-cam.com/video/3VJsqcrieVA/v-deo.html Their moms were like, TALK TO THE HAND, we told you so.
I was just thinking the exact same thing. Amazing! I saw another very prominent 70s band in person last month and it was extremely disappointing, to say the least.
As a veteran guitarist and singer, performer, it would take a lot of dedication to reproduce such a masterpiece, if ever. It stands alone that these artist created one of a kind vocal arrangements couples enjoy with the decades they represent in this style of music. Always easy to listen to, refreshing the spirit.
omg...I'm speechless...this is the most under-recognized acoustic guitar intro ever tracked. Tremendous tune, and incredible vocals. There's a reason that tunes like this haven't been covered...they're too hard to replicate... period.
i'm 20. this is in my top 5 favourite songs of all time. was listening to spotify and it just came on out of nowhere. we've come a long way since the 70s, but damn was the music good
Very few can harmonize like this 😅to perfection. I can only think of maybe a few others like david crosby,and grahm nash,also seals and crofts. Back in the day when music was the real deal. No auto tune,gimmicks, just pure harmony and rhythm.
I'm an African American male that grew up in the inner city in Memphis,Tn.in the 60's&70's this is such a sweet,sweet song. I envision dancing with that special someone smelling her wonderful perfume or riding with the top down just her & me laughing & loving! When we grew up we didn't care what color u were,if the music was good we listened to it! I listened to everyone from Gary Puckett & the Union Gap to the Beatles,Motown, Lynard Skynard,The Stones etc. If it was good it was good,we didn't care! Life was simple,easy,& carefree! We had friends of all color & ethnicities,if u were cool then u were cool let's party! We didn't realize it then but those were the best yrs & times of our lives! I'm 66 yrs old now & I truly missed those days! I've got the parts y'all,lets build a time machine and go back for awhile😊 Love,peace & blessings to each and every one of u!✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
Beautiful job Lance! This performance is so great! RIP Larry!!! He would be very proud of his brother and this wonderful group Orleans still continuing on!
The song has always had a place in my heart ever since I heard it the first time when I was a kid in the 70s. To me it’s just one of those perfect songs.
I was born in 1986 but for some reason I love 70s and 80s music. This is one of the songs I keep on playing in my car. Very timeless. I love the blending of their voices.
One of the best songs of the 70’s in my 73 Mercury Capri Turbo 2.4 liter and installed Pioneer cassette stereo, an equalizer w/Lansing subwoofer. The life ! In 1976
Wow! Incredible. They sound as good now as the original studio version. Bassist has an incredible voice! Still. This song reminds me of how wonderful it was growing up with this music. I remember hearing this one when it first came out--loved it then and still love it now.
holy shit that was awesome. those vocals. amazing harmonies! Been playing music for 50 years and professionally for some of that and damn.....these guys are STILL killing it. still hitting all the notes. very impressive
Front Row From Left to Right...John Hall (co founding member)...Dennis Amero...Lance Hoppen (brother of co founder Larry Hoppen)... Back Row From Left to Right...Brady Spencer 9Drums/Unsure...?)...Lane Hoppen (brother of co founder Larry Hoppen)... Sadly Larry Hoppen took his own life in 2012 as I recall reading it... He left several really great tunes behind...R.I.P... Nice to see John back playing...
Excellent, excellent, excellent musical coordination!!! This stuff ain't easy. This live performance is the perfect example of musicians simultaneously using both sides of the brain!!! While singing flawless three and four part harmony (which is hard enough by itself), they are playing intricate guitar lead-rhythms, and the bass player is playing multiple notes and sliding on the bass like it's a fretless. Musicianship at its finest!!!
This makes me so sad...not because it sounds bad, but because Orleans are very special to me. When my dad turned 50 in 2001, I thought I would do something special. Orleans was/is his favourite band of all time, eventhough at that time Orleans wasnt the most wellknown in Europe. Naive as I was I thought, what if I could write an email to one of the members and ask for an autograph. A short while after the bands manager had forwarded my email to Larry Hoppen who took time to write me back several times. And after a very long time, since he was obviously very busy, he sent me a package, with the complete works of EVERYTHING that Orleans had ever made and still not released with written commentary to my dad, and autographs from the band members. This was such an amazing thing, and I promised to send him reaction pictures back from the birthday. When Instagram became a thing for me, after a long tour in USA as manager for a band in Denmark, I thought I would send him what I promised, only to find out that he died in 2012. 2 months before. I kept his legacy, his emails, his sweet words and a strong proof that he was a fantastic human being. I wish I could tell his family and his brother, that what he did, made a difference. He became a hero for me that day, just by being a great and compassionate human being. Mr. Larry Hoppen. - whatever made you leave this planet, wont change, that you are hero to me.
it would be incredible if you might consider getting with Lance and the band today... and see if the Spirit moves you'll for something like this if possible and all are willing, and could be publicly distributed... it would be a blessing to the WORLD!!! What a GIFT for your Dad and you!!
Gorgeous harmonies with all the rhythmic ornaments in sync. Lots of good arranging, lots of hard practice in that band. Always a little basakwards to watch a left handed player with a right handed guitar. Thanks fellas. Lots of great memories in your music. Great to see you're "Still the one"..:-)
I was hopelessly infatuated with a boy from school. I used to wait with bated breath to merely catch a glimpse of him. This song was my only solace. I'd listen every evening in my room imagining he would ask me to dance with him. To this day, I remember the longing, every time I hear this song. May God bless this band Orleans. Helped me through it.
Omg,they still sound WONDERFUL ,I’m listening in 2024 ,I’m 74 great memories.
Ditto.....awesome band. A better time for sure.
Very true, I'm 73 an it's just magical these melodies, harmonies, etc. 😮😮😊
Yes'um....I"m 76 and love real music and melodies. God bless@@susanroycroft89
Great Era of music!!!🎵
Music of the 70's was as special as the 70's were themselves. Hopefully when my time on earth is done I'll live eternally in the 70's.
It was more fun being 20 in the 70’s than it is being 70 in the 20’s
Truer words were never written!😩🤦♀️
This is why those of us who grew up with the music in the 70's were incredibly lucky.
Amen to that. We were blessed to grow up in the 70's with the singer songwriter movement. The songs are so well written and sung.
you better believe it!!
Incredibly lucky more than anyone would realize just those of us very blessed with this very special time 1976 16 years old my first everything Bless those special days I long for them
Well said! Couldn't agree more! ❤
Amen to that
I can't believe how rich their voices still are. This is unreal!!
Only one original band member.
@@rcjr1371 There are two of them from original band: John Hall and Lance Hoppen on this gig.
@@Necros_poselok I forgot about the late Larry Hoppen's brother Lance. It's an amazing song.
They are missing Larry Hoppen singing the high lead.
Beautiful, thank you so much, a Golden Jewel treasured song
at 82 i still remember the lyrics to most of their tunes. i've lived in the greatest era of rock and roll..............all classics.
You are correct sir!!!
Never heard a band this old still sound this good mind blowing
Totally agree , Orleans forever young like You.,blessings from 🇲🇽
Thank you for your comment Todd ,you do know about art .

I’m a 22 year old in love with 70’s music.You old timers are lucky to have grown up with bands like this.
Not all of it was good, dear. This one was one of the best, however
Yes we were lucky alot of good music came out of the 70s I was 10 when this song came out in 1973
You betcha!
You have got great taste in music!
The sounds of the 70's ! A timeless classic- When music was music with melody !
Lance covers Larry's lead vocal really, really well. Sounds amazing.
i'm 20. this is in my top 5 favourite songs of all time. was listening to spotify and it just came on out of nowhere. we've come a long way since the 70s, but damn was the music good

That is NOT a misuse of the word amazing. This really is what amazing sounds like.
Absolutely amazing group no matter what year!!!!
They still got it! Love this song brings me back to some best of times!
Amazing. their voice splits are still good for a band from the 70's.. bring me back to my teenager era.. - Greeting from Indonesia...
Honestly, this makes my heart beat and makes me want to cry, it's so beautiful. Reminds me so much of when I fell in love with my husband.
God blessed us music maniacs with this alltime gem.
these guys made the 70s timeless!!
A beautiful amazing song! One of my faves.
all these years and the harmony is still 100% awesome!
super super the very best of Orleans .❤
Hello Stephen 👋
THANK YOU, John Hall, for this incredible song!
They still sound amazing! It’s one of those feel good songs that puts you in a good mood.
Wow .. what an amazing live performance, especially after all these years. They are the best
Why this group is not in the Hall of Fame is confounding. True talent.
Brings back so many memories
I have a special place and respect for the people who compose such great timeless songs. 👏👏👏👏
Wow! Incredible. They sound as good now as the original studio version. Bassist has an incredible voice! Still. This song reminds me of how wonderful it was growing up with this music. I remember hearing this one when it first came out--loved it then and still love it now.
So nice to leave a legacy in good taste. The harmonies are priceless.
holy shit that was awesome. those vocals. amazing harmonies! Been playing music for 50 years and professionally for some of that and damn.....these guys are STILL killing it. still hitting all the notes. very impressive
I saw Orleans in 1977. Amazing concert! Watching them performing this live was nothing short of awesome! Nice trip back in time, thanks for the post!
I did too They played a concert at the college I attended in Georgia. It was a Great show!

Oh my the memories. She was beautiful. I was crazy for her. This is for you Trish

Why does this sound better than the original version?! Aged like fine wine
So good to hear you. I do miss Larry. He was a great guy
Hello how are you doing 👋

Thanks for sharing your story. Great band, in my opinion.
Im only 8 years old when i started listening to this kind of music, of the 70s. And now im 26.
Don't leave the bunker! Music from your time period lost to the robots and all the humans are dead.
Wow 😮 , You still sound awesome 😎 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 7, 2024 and loving the music still..
Gorgeous harmonies with all the rhythmic ornaments in sync. Lots of good arranging, lots of hard practice in that band. Always a little basakwards to watch a left handed player with a right handed guitar. Thanks fellas. Lots of great memories in your music. Great to see you're "Still the one"..:-)

And in the cafeteria at lunch, someone would always play it on the jukebox. I never had a quarter to play it myself.
Larry...
Rest in peace.
Great job, guys.
DAMN this song brings so many memories and some sorrows but it is a part of my growing up so this song will be a part of my life for ever!!!
Soo awesome, they sound incredible! Also never knew that part was with a melodica, I always thought it was a harmonica
Man! They sound exactly the same! ❤
Great song from our youth. 👍🎼🎶
So, SO good! Love Orleans!
Dance with me, (Jack) I am your partner, can't you see... 😍💃🕺🌹 // Thanks for sharing!
I remember my high school days...
My favorite love song way back then, still is today!
great tune from my youth...love it!
Wow...a band with real staying power!
Funny how quality will do that.
orleans still rocks!!
I had this song on a 45 rpm record ❤, Loved it!
RIP Larry Hoppen. The band sounds great.
I love this sing. Its so good.
Sound better now than in '75; and they sounded great then.
What talent 👏
They deserve their name.
The bassist really nailed Larry Hopen vocals 😢❤❤
It's his brother Lance Hoppen. Lance joined the band in 1972.
いつ聴いても名曲ですねぇ！！！
Amazing, that's all I can say... 70s music rock
This is freaking amazing! Lance especially singing that well and playing that bass line.
I just saw them for July 4th celebration in Albany NY. Wow, I’m a huge fan now
Reminds of all my friends in Boone, North Carolina ,R.I.P. AnnieG.Funni Ball Joe G.
70s in harmony brilliant!!
Do you mean 1970s or their age? Either way it's a win for us hearing it.
Wow, that's the music 🎵❤ thanks brothers
My God! this was terrific. If it doesn't make you feel good, then check your pulse.
smoother than butter
Legend they are
Fantastic!
oh my God!!!best song...
I’m so privileged that I’m old enough now to have been young enough back then…..
So romantic 💛
Fantastic. One of my all time favorite songs. The guys still sound amazing.
Exactly James ,good times
No auto tune needed.
One of the beautifulest.greatest most memorable song in this entire universe!!!!
Muy linda canción ❤❤❤
Recuerdos de juventud ❤❤❤

One of the greatest songs from one of the greatest groups.
