@@sealdrup I think they just reacted to Jane very recently- i assume that’s why this one was picked - since lots of people commented about Thomas singing this one too
Absolutely Mickey Thomas just kills in this song. And in quite a few Starship songs as well. This song has to go in the top 100 list of anybody's greatest songs
This song was big for Mickey Thomas, who parleyed this into a lead role in the revamped Jefferson Starship. I believe you heard Mickey rockin' out "Jane" a couple weeks ago.
I had a chance to work with Mickey Thomas for a few days, recording songs for a TV show he was working on in the late 1990s. I was slightly nervous just before he arrived at my studio, as I have always loved his voice and wondered what kind of attitude/ego would come with it. Turned out he was very down to earth, happy to chat about anything (no matter how mundane), interested in what others had to say (no matter who they were). The one funny quirk I noticed about him in the few days he was at my house was that he seemed to relate anything having to do with his own timeline to this very song. "Oh, that happened about 2 years before 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love'" or "I remember about a year after 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love' came out, I bought a Corvette" or something like that - the subject almost never related to the song itself, it was simply a time marker!
One of my favorite songs of all time, between Mickey's vocals in elvins guitar. Was a great time to be fifteen or sixteen years old and this song still pops in my head every once in awhile and I end up singing it all day
"Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bail of hay. He aint' good looking but he sure can play!" ~ Charlie Daniels Band, "The South's Gonna Do It Again". 👈Next tune? I got to see Bishop in 1989. He played for about 3 hours in a tiny venue near Lake Tahoe. We had a blast! Also, he played with the Allman Brothers for a while. In fact, I believe he was with them at Filmore East. I was only 10 when that album came out so I could be wrong on that one.
The Elvin Bishop/ Mickey Thomas factor makes this song S tier for me. I’m particularly fond of Elvin Bishop….. Travelin’ Shoes and Juke Joint Jump are worthy of a listen, even if you just listen on your own time.
I love how the piano punches through...the mix on this is so good. I had the mumps and missed this show at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1977 or so. Elvin Bishop, Bob Segar and Todd Rundgren....always mad about that.
Check out some of Elvin's work with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. He and Mike Bloomfield provided a double guitar attack that was unsurpassed when the album East-West was released in 1966. It's timeless stuff that still sounds great today.
Don't forget the debut LP. It's more blues based than East West but top notch. The Doors steal Shake Your Money Maker for Break on Through guitar parts
@andyandalex The vocals are done by Mickey Thomas and the drummer is Donny Baldwin, who both later joined Jefferson Starship. Elvin Bishop wrote this song and played guitar. He was signed to Capricorn Records out of Macon, Ga (my hometown) along with other artists like The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band, Wet Willie, The Charlie Daniel’s Band, Stillwater, and many others.
Have loved this song since what 1978? And yes there is the radio version with the shortened solo and it sucks to not hear the full length......thanks for playing full version!! Wonderful soulful song!! Fantastic. Regarding the loving aspect; Ill spend my life trying to recapture that nectar of my life; Teri Adams from Jr. High School- Denver 1972-74...Lord heal me broken heart❤!
Mr.Elvin Bishop..a superb guitarist .and Mickey Thomas whom was a vocalist in the group Jefferson Airplane / Starship ..ofcourse does the vocals in this epic tune is such a match made in musical pairing paradise ..😂love this old tune many memories..
Has anyone mentioned how good Mickey Thomas is on lead vocals? Someone already has... Oh OK. He'll go on to be the lead vocalist for Starship, helping Grace Slick find her comeback voice.
This song brings back memories from my bar days. A club I used to go to had live music. One band played this song then would have audience members come up to sing the chorus. Most people were fair and a few pretty bad. But there were a few that were great and I can still remember them 48 years later.
Traveling shoes, Elvin Bishop. He does the vocals himself on this. I believe he recorded a version of "mean ol' walking blues" with Paul Butterfield (Harmonica)
This song never gets old. I was a teen when it played. The vocals, Mickey Thomas hit hard. Of course at the time I fooled around and fell in love. The love is still there’s today. Young love and he’s the father of my daughter. Still friends 50 years later. 😳 yikes where did the time go. Make your dreams happen while you’re young guys. It really does go by fast. I woke last night to the 🎶sound of thunder How far off I sat and wondered? Started hummin' a song from 1962 Ain't it funny how the night moves? When you just don't seem to have as much to lose Strange how the night moves With autumn closin' in 🎶 Thanks Bob
It’s wonderful that with expanded health spans and a more accepting society, one can pursue their dreams at nearly any age. It’s just that the dreams change.
Little bit of trivia… Elvin Bishop went to high school in Tulsa with David Gates (from Bread) and Leon Russel! Some serious musical talent floating around those halls back in the day.
One of my favorite, all-time songs. Mickey Thomas vocals & Elvin's guitar work were just great. With this song, it's all about how it makes you FEEL -- not technical excellence.
I saw them live at WDW in 78. I was on my first trip to Florida and met up with 2 of my high school freinds who had moved away after graduation. What a night to remember! Thanks for playing this!
Saw Elvin and Mickey Thomas live in early 80's with Tower of Power horn section.......one of my top 5 concerts. Check out the double live album "Raisin Hell" which captured this tour....S tier
Elvin Bishop and Mickey Thomas were both awesome on this song.I was lucky enough to see them play this in the '70's in Tulsa,Oklahoma,where Elvin lived for a while.Elvin is a great guitarist,forgotten by a lot of folks,and Mickey going on to sing with Starship was also great.
Mickey gives a master class vocal performance on the live version and made it look so easy. Its really worth cheching out. I wore out several Juke Joint Jump 8-tracks in the 70s.
Just another oldie but a great one. 1:19 ! You was speaking of another love song. You can go right to to Micky Thomas who later sang with Jefferson Star Ship. Call Jane. I believe that you might have already played the song before. It is also a great song. 10:18 !
Thank you for reviewing this song. The "single" version leaves out an entire verse and a good portion of Elvin"s guitar solo. So happy that you went with the full version. This came out when I was finishing up my senior year of high school. An A for me.
Elvin Bishop is, actually, a hard-core blues player. He was, not only, briefly, PARTNERED with but in the same class as: Mike Bloomfield. (A '60s blues-rock legend.) Bloomfield AND Bishop got their start in the (also legendary): Paul Butterfield Blues Band. (Bloomfield went on to create/join: The, short-lived, Electric Flag; play with Bob Dylan (Bloomfield is the guitarist on: Highway 61 Revisited) and, then, a solo career [as; Mike Bloomfield AND as the Mike Bloomfield Band, as well]). Sadly, Mike departed the earth in 1981. Paul Butterfield was a highly respected blues harp player and blues vocalist. Bishop worked with Paul Butterfield and, later, with Al Kooper, as well. ...but (somewhat obviously) "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" is his [Elvin's] biggest hit and most far-reaching, well-recognized song. The "secret" to the track (which many, many casual, 'average' listeners -and, even, causal fans- had ZERO idea of, for decades) is that: a, basically, 'unknown' -at that time (outside of the industry itself, I mean)!- background vocalist was asked by Elvin to do the lead vocals on this song. That man is: Mickey Thomas. Yep: the same cat who sings "Jane" for Jefferson Starship! 😛😛 (In fact he GOT THAT gig because Kantner-or someone🤷-heard "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" !!!!🤘🤘). Comparably to, let's say...🤔: Michael McDonald 🤷[who was a, dedicated, studio, 'harmonies and backing vocals "guy" ' -...prior to Tom Johnston getting ill and McDonald being asked to take up some lead parts for the Doobie Brothers.] (for e.g.).... --This is one of those, legendary, beloved, '70s "one-hit-wonders" (by a musician & writer who was, & is, unequivocally!!!; MORE than that!), which is, also, additionally, relevant and important, due to where the guy who was asked to sing lead went, afterwards. --The rest of this album, however, is "a blues record," essentially. -Or (at the VERY least!) "blues-flavored-pop-rock" "stuff." ...
just in case no on else has pointed this out. Elvin learned the electric blues playing in Chicago starting in the early 1960's. He was a founding member of the groundbreaking Paul Butterfield Blues Band before going out on his own and moving to SF in the late 60s. That's paying some dues before his mid 70s breakthrough on Capricorn Records and this outstanding hit song
Elvin Bishop wrote Fooled Around and Fell in Love, but didn't like his voice for it so he had back up singer Mickey Thomas sing it. I 100% agree with the comments about watching the Midnight Special version. One of my all time favorite songs. Just happens to be the exact story of my musician husband and myself, 45 years ago. 💕 Doesn't bother me st all, he choose me.😉
Instantly put into the 'Wayback Machine" when I hear this. Dated a guy back then who insisted that "Traveling Shoes" by Elvin Bishop was the best song ever.
A true banger from back when. My comment, though, is to to you gents. Have perused several other reaction sites any you are by far the best. Love the fact that you still don’t interrupt a song in progress. Also you give super feedback on the instrumental/musical aspects of each song. Very refreshing to get a musician’s reaction. Thanks and keep on rockin!
I hope you put 2 and 2 together and realized that was Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Sharship’s “Jane”. I think you guys just recently covered it. Huge thanks again
Elvin got his blues from hanging around with Paul Butterfield in ChiTown (Hyde Park) -- you may have heard of them in The Butterfield Blues Band. Elvin won a full scholarship to the University of Chicago as a National Merit Scholar, and he moved to Chicago in 1960 to attend the university, where he majored in physics. Another braniac rocker, as in the likes of Brian May and Mickey Dolenz.
good old elvin bishop! he was such a bumpkin, back in the day. when rock stars reach a certain level, say arena shows etc., they tend to keep playing to those larger crowds. elvin got to the arena level, yet would show up in a dive bar in a dead end town and rock the place. he played juke joints and arenas at the same time on the same tour. he apparently had a weird booking agent, or he just loved every crowd, no matter how small. i saw him, at his peak, at an arena show in the late 70's and also, at his peak, in a state line dive on the washington/idaho border back around that time. marquee rock star playing among the pool players was just bad ass! it was amazing and one of the best shows ever!
Sounds just as sweet now as it did back in high school~~~A great job from every musician, but now I appreciate so much more the beautiful job by whoever mixed those (16? 24?) analogue tracks. The bar was set high in the 70's ~~~~
Funny that you should mention the solo.. the 7 inch single not only cut the entire 2nd vocal verse, it also did edit the guitar solo. YET, it was still a banger 👌👍😊😊
That's Elvin Bishop bringing the Legit Blues lines on the guitar. He has a ton of history - original member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and inducted into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, and so much more.
yeah playing with the melody vs the rhythm timing is something another Willie does also. Willie Nelson is the best at it imo. Kudos to Elvin for a great solo, Mickey for great vocals.

I’m a Man by the Spencer Davis Group. Original version.
Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should’ve Come Over
“I Can Help” by Billy Swan.
Mickey Thomas had some serious pipes and great vocal control. He was definitely Rated, highly rated.
He still kills it.
He sang lead on Jane by Jefferson Starship. Wonderful singer.
I fooled around and fell in love with this song, Lol
@@sealdrupand Find Your Way Back and others
@@sealdrup I think they just reacted to Jane very recently- i assume that’s why this one was picked - since lots of people commented about Thomas singing this one too
Mickey, One of my favorite vocalists ❤
For me personally, this is one of those songs that simply cannot be improves upon. Awesome from start to finish.
Absolutely Mickey Thomas just kills in this song. And in quite a few Starship songs as well. This song has to go in the top 100 list of anybody's greatest songs
This song defines and era.
And all of a sudden it's 1976 I'm 13 and the AM radio is blasting.....GREAT CHOICE!

Cannot say this enough times. Its amazing.
That show had some GREAT Artists and performances
The lead singer here, Mickey Thomas, is also the voice of Jefferson Starship.
This is like, my favorite son in the whole lifetime 💙 of the world 🌎 forever ❤and ever....
❤
Unapologetically fun! Pop/rock! Real musicians, real instruments, no fakery. Can't beat that!
In my opinion this is one of the greatest guitar solos ever. Not flashy, and perfectly matches the mood of the song.
Don't overlook some sweet guitar work by Elvin ❤️
Somebody said, "He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play!"
Tone!! Variation! Talking guitar! Beautiful work by Elvin Bishop

Their tears left me cold as a stone maybe the the best line in a song ever.

Great song.Solid A
Pure 70's S tier magic right here.
A timeless classic. Love the vocals of Mickey Thomas. ❤🔥
A+ thru & thru. Elvin can play anything . Blues Rock Funk Jazz. Listen to Juke Joint Jump. Southern funk at it's finest.
Perfect guitar tone for this song solo. Genius.
I love how the piano punches through...the mix on this is so good. I had the mumps and missed this show at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1977 or so. Elvin Bishop, Bob Segar and Todd Rundgren....always mad about that.

Don't think the know anything about Bloomfield. Way past time they found out.
F@@jimd7260 For real.
YES. PB3 is such a great band. And the title track to that album is one of my all-time favorite tunes.
Don't forget the debut LP. It's more blues based than East West but top notch. The Doors steal Shake Your Money Maker for Break on Through guitar parts

Thank goodness you did the long album version!! The radio play version is all cut up. This is one of my all time favorite songs.
Oh yes! Amazing Elvin Bishop. Fooled around and fell in love with song.
OMG! This reminds me of slow dancing in Jr. high. Such good memories.
Have loved this song since what 1978? And yes there is the radio version with the shortened solo and it sucks to not hear the full length......thanks for playing full version!! Wonderful soulful song!! Fantastic.

Tremendous, powerful voice and a great song
Just wonderful stuff. I have no words to describe the swaying that comes with this song and melody. Brilliant, just brilliant
Your faces while listening to this are priceless lol. Their performance of this live on The Midnight Special is definitely worth checking out!
This is one of the first songs I can remember hearing as a wee one and I still love it all these years later.
Mr.Elvin Bishop..a superb guitarist .and Mickey Thomas whom was a vocalist in the group Jefferson Airplane / Starship ..ofcourse does the vocals in this epic tune is such a match made in musical pairing paradise ..😂love this old tune many memories..

Loved both Andy & Alex’s faces during the first lyrics
Personal Top 100 song for me. Mickey Thomas is one of the great rock vocalists. 😎👍
This song brings back memories from my bar days. A club I used to go to had live music. One band played this song then would have audience members come up to sing the chorus. Most people were fair and a few pretty bad. But there were a few that were great and I can still remember them 48 years later.
I love the bassline. This song pops into my head randomly from time to time and its always entertaining!
The live Midnight Special version is epic.
I agree
Exactly my thought but glad they covered the song ….
yes, mickey’s eyes were noticeably wandering during the performance. the female background singer was a bit distracting... 😏
Absolutely epic
Should of done the video.
Traveling shoes, Elvin Bishop. He does the vocals himself on this. I believe he recorded a version of "mean ol' walking blues" with Paul Butterfield (Harmonica)
"Whatcha' Gonna Do" and "Love Will Find A Way"; both by the group Pablo Cruise.
This song puts me in a Time Machine, every single time. I love every beat and measure of this song.
This song never gets old. I was a teen when it played. The vocals, Mickey Thomas hit hard. Of course at the time I fooled around and fell in love. The love is still there’s today. Young love and he’s the father of my daughter. Still friends 50 years later. 😳 yikes where did the time go. Make your dreams happen while you’re young guys. It really does go by fast.
I woke last night to the 🎶sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered?
Started hummin' a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves?
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closin' in 🎶
Thanks Bob
It’s wonderful that with expanded health spans and a more accepting society, one can pursue their dreams at nearly any age. It’s just that the dreams change.
You faded out with Bob Seger. Nice artistic touch. 3
Best guitar solo in a 4 minute song by Elvin.
Excellent voice and superb song! 🎵
Little bit of trivia… Elvin Bishop went to high school in Tulsa with David Gates (from Bread) and Leon Russel! Some serious musical talent floating around those halls back in the day.
Central or Will Rogers?
@@randogirl-3Rogers
I miss Leon Russell so much
This song is absolute perfection in every respect.
Never heard this unedited version. Great, Great Great!!!
The lead vocalist is the same guy - Mickey Thomas- who sang Jane from Starship
One of my favorite, all-time songs. Mickey Thomas vocals & Elvin's guitar work were just great. With this song, it's all about how it makes you FEEL -- not technical excellence.
I saw them live at WDW in 78. I was on my first trip to Florida and met up with 2 of my high school freinds who had moved away after graduation. What a night to remember! Thanks for playing this!
Got that incredible 70's sound!

A staple on all oldies stations and for good reason. ❤
Saw this live in 1974 at the Lenox Music Inn, in Lenox MA. Elvin was the warmup and Marshall Tucker followed. Still just as good.
I would have preferred an A+, but I was there as a teenager when it dropped. It was righteous then as now.
Mickey gives a master class vocal performance on the live version and made it look so easy. Its really worth cheching out. I wore out several Juke Joint Jump 8-tracks in the 70s.
One of the most sublime guitar solo’s ever captured……so f’ing good
I believe you recently did Jefferson Starship's "Jane". Same singer. :)
You must checkout the live version of this song its amazing !

Probably one-of the best guitar solos and vocal songs since modern recording
I hope you put 2 and 2 together and realized that was Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Sharship’s “Jane”. I think you guys just recently covered it. Huge thanks again
One of my favorite song from my earliest memory!!
Ha! My first concert in 1970. Elvin Bishop Group opened for Santana!!
His voice is fantastic.
Lol. I saw him do this and many more in a bar/concert venue in Olympia Washington
In 1981. What a great night
There's something haunting about Bishop's guitar solo. You can feel the deep emotions being conveyed in those chords.
Elvin got his blues from hanging around with Paul Butterfield in ChiTown (Hyde Park) -- you may have heard of them in The Butterfield Blues Band. Elvin won a full scholarship to the University of Chicago as a National Merit Scholar, and he moved to Chicago in 1960 to attend the university, where he majored in physics.

I love whoever is playing the keyboard, it makes the song. And Mickey’s voice it as great!
good old elvin bishop! he was such a bumpkin, back in the day. when rock stars reach a certain level, say arena shows etc., they tend to keep playing to those larger crowds. elvin got to the arena level, yet would show up in a dive bar in a dead end town and rock the place. he played juke joints and arenas at the same time on the same tour. he apparently had a weird booking agent, or he just loved every crowd, no matter how small. i saw him, at his peak, at an arena show in the late 70's and also, at his peak, in a state line dive on the washington/idaho border back around that time. marquee rock star playing among the pool players was just bad ass! it was amazing and one of the best shows ever!
Fabulous voice.. especially live
Junior year of high school, had this on cassette - has some funky stuff on it. A lot of Elvin's songs are fun in a very non serious way
Sounds just as sweet now as it did back in high school~~~A great job from every musician, but now I appreciate so much more the beautiful job by whoever mixed those (16? 24?) analogue tracks. The bar was set high in the 70's ~~~~

Soooo happy happy you reviewed this fabulous song!😊

Caught the Jefferson Starship “Jane” reaction video recently. Awesome job guys, MickeyThomas sure can “croon a tune”. A+ 😎
One of those '70s smooth.
One of the best songs ever
❤️🔥❤️🔥 excellent vocals
a true anthem song of the mid 70s. glad you guys had a chance to experience it. 😁
This song literally just came up on my play list as I was out driving around today. Great song!
