I remember them well...
The first rock concert that I went to was Savoy Brown opening for Blue Oyster Cult
hel-l yes I remember Savoy Brown they were from Detroit area and went to most of their local concerts.. They would play at fairgrounds, bars, etc long before they came famous. For the life of me I cannot remember the name of one song they did?
Sorry winner, I remember Sawyer Brown............LOL. They are country. Don't get me wrong, I like rock too. My first concert was Frank Zappa, then I think Aerosmith
you dont remember "hellboundtrain " tell mama "hard way to go "jack the toad ' Im tired " etc .good early boogie yeah !!
front row zappa {prov early 80s } threw my hat on stage and he put it on ! saw him 10 or 15 times ,before he died . I have 90% of his work {in one form or another } aerosmith was a monumental show also{ 2nd row center } I have pics taken w disposable camera . aahhh the{ good ?} ol days
Yes I would remember if I heard the songs. My brain was pretty fried up back then. Yep those were the glory years of nothing but fun, and low responsibility. Drugs, sex, and rock and roll . Almost killed me, and still paying for those mistakes today.
Cream--Sunshine of Your Love. Traffic --Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Iron Butterfly In A Godda Divida. ( spelling ) What about the long version of Layla. Those were some of my favorites. Hearing those old rock and roll songs of the 60's and 70's always makes me smile. Who could forget Jimi , Janis and those Doors? That was talent, that was music. Such a shame their lives were so short.
Anyway, life changes and mostly I listen to jazz now. I find it soothing, relaxing. When I visit with my girlfriend we always have a rock and roll party for one evening. ( lol its all we can handle now ) We turn it up loud and sing and talk about the old days, and how lucky we were to have made something out of ours lives. Some of our friends were not so fortunate. Looking back it was a rough life. Still fun though.

Lol your right its Sawyer Brown. If my memory serves me correctly they did not start out as a country band. In the beginning it was hard rock and roll. It wasn't until their later years they switched over.
I've been in the midst of a Joe Cocker/Leon Russell "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" revival lately. Lots of clips on YouTube including what's likely my favorite:

I was just listening to Rita Coolidge (The Lady's Not For Sale). I think she sang back up for both Cocker and Russell, didn't she?
From Wikipedia
"Savoy Brown, originally known as the Savoy Brown Blues Band, are a British blues band formed in 1966, in Battersea, South West London.[1] Part of the late 1960s blues rock movement, Savoy Brown never achieved as much success in their homeland as they did in the United States, where they promoted their albums with non-s"

Late entry - but I remember Savoy Brown - the original one - not the "Jack the Toad" group. "Stay while the night is Young", "Hernando's Hideaway". They played in Jacksonville, FL and the group that opened was a group called "Chicken Shack" - with a girl named Stevie Nicks that nobody knew.
The guy in Savoy Brown - Lonesome Dave - then formed a band - called- Foghat.
Yah, I remember my brothers album jacket for them. See it clearly, it was a comic book thing called "hellbound train", was creepy and cool.
it was Savoy Brown,
they played in the New England area too, along with FogHat. Blues, not country.
:)
Savoy Brown!
Hell Yeah!

I listen to alot of music these days {on tx } and It helps ! no doubt . bob
Hi Bob,
I haven't been listening to much music these days. Wish I were.
My younger son's wedding is next week and I wonder if you have a couple of favorite groovy songs you can recommend to play at the reception.
I haven't come up with a music list, which my son asked me to do. (I haven't learned how to use my new digital camera, either, and he also asked me to help with that - sheesh.)
Please let me know, if you have a chance.
Street Corner Talking...played it over and over..."All I can Do"...memories...
