Now there is a stage full of Real Musical Character☝️🤔🤙😎👏🥳

Superb!! Simply wonderful vocal and great singer and songwriter ❤Love Donovan my is a legend . My ídolo teenager ❤Simply wonderful vical and great singer and songwriter ❤Love Donovan my is a legend . My ídolo teenager ❤

This is exactly the kind of thing that makes KZfaq such a wonderful resource. Never would have guessed that these three guys played together. And damn, it's so good.

John Sebastian giving a perfect example of how a harp blends and accentuates without ever getting in the way. Intelligent, inventive and soulful.

I keep returning to this awesome performance. I'm a Donovan fan from mid 1960's. And John Lovin Spoonful Sebastian.

A Cliff Richard tune. Herman's Hermits also covered it.

I can't help hearing Paulo Nuttini... when listening to Donovan

An attribution would have been nice. It was Cliff Richard in 1961 who had the original hit. For me Cliff nailed it and made the song his.

Travelling Light was a hit for Cliff Richard, this year he had a top 5 album in the Uk charts, only artist to have a top five album in eight different decades.

David Bromberg really is the realest deal. All 3 are amazing.

Simply wonderful vocals by Donovan, ably supported by fantastic contributions from Dave and John.

What a find - I had no idea John Sebastian could play harmonica so beautifully.

Holy crap. John Sebastian is an awesome harmonica player

I am a hugh Donovan fan and this is the first time I have ever heard him perform this song! It's fantastic! Last saw Donovan in concert a few years ago now up in Monterey, California. Thanks for posting this song!

As much beauty as the harp has given me,falling upon this song has moved me. That was the good stuff

Thanks. I hadn't heard this.

Donovan is a legend a lovely guy a great singer

magic

wow, thanks.

The 3 performers are wonderful.

Many a Donovan concert I saw back in the day. Still my fav. I love these 3 together.

This is what music is meant to be!

Donovan is great....always like his songs.....but CLIFF RICHARD is the MASTER...and a beautiful peaceful person.... though very very modest!!! There is no second Cliff Richard in our world...🙏🏿🎈🎈🎈👏🏿

GOOD OLD "YOU TUBE" THANK YOU !

Lost art love that harmonica ! 👁❤️🎶🎸👍🏻❤️🌻

Wondeful clip with three musical geniuses. Amazing sounds & so,so good!

Are they all three smooth as honey or what? and, um, so young. Well done. I saw Donovan in 71 or 72, loved his music but didn't want to go see him but off I went and forever glad - he puts on a great show . John Sebastian is expert at several instruments and only has gotten better through the years - and that slide- I am going to check out more Bromberg. Wow what a great song with morning coffee.

for those of you who didn't realize how great a harmonica player John is that's him on the Door's Road house Blues

Great version of the song. Harmonica and dobro just right in there.

3 of my all-time favorites! what a gem !!!

Una preciosidad. Relaja mucho.

Donovan is back with his I’m the Shaman. Listened to it yesterday while I only know for the first time that he had sung this great song! Adorable! Thanks for posting it!

One of my favourites from my dads collection of songs...it was brilliant to hear the song again...wonderful cover...

I love this ‘country’ version 🥰

creative minds never has any barriers, they can think in all the languages they know and compose in it.

Think I've been a huge fan of Sebastian more than 50 years. This was wonderful.

Love Sir Cliff Richard’s original

Always been a Donovan fan and this is the first time I have heard this, very good version, sounds superb.... Saw him in a recent TV interview, has that music "legend" persona, well done Donovan. Keep up the good work.

Excelente performance en vivo y sin ningún artilugio. Folk puro y bueno!

Donovan did record this solo, for a never-realized country / covers album from his extended period of writer's block ca. 1971-73. Stealin' was another song he mentioned at the time.

John Sebastian can play that harp!

Donovan is playing cliff's version, even in the same key!

Wow, nice video. He is a great musician and i love the way he plays harmonica, im learning and he is my inspiration. Thanks for share :)

I’ve give him tomorrow followed by forever and a day ❤

If you enjoy John Sebastian's harmonica playing in this..then you may also enjoy "John Sebastian singing She's a Lady" here on KZfaq..at the end of the song he banters with the presenter and plays the harmonica when he's trying to introduce Buffy Saint Marie...check it out!

Shame on Donovan for not remembering that Cliff had a massive hit with this song!! He is old enough!! Good rendition though!

Superb.

hard to believe he didn't know it was a big hit for Cliff Richard. it was a # 1 hit in th UK !

Solid gold,real music.

Donovan é a Apoteose da música FOLK adoro escutar e tocar as melodias do Donovan

That harmonica solo..............

Nice!!!

I think John Sebastian was supposed to marry me back in the 70s...ya missed it John! lol

He's great at harmonic .I got a hohnner. Chromatic.and a few other instruments. Learned a lot by watching Donovan. And Bob Dylan. Happy days then

Forgot that this was pre-internet but even so, if Donovan had bought the sheet music, it would have had a massive picture of Cliff on it which is a bit of a give-away

Three musical geniuses perfectly blending their crafts into harmonic (pun not originally intended, but it works) ecstasy. Smooth as silk, yet raw enough to still have a little “bite” to it. All three are privy to the secrets of collaborative folk music in its most organic form, and this is that drop of clear liquid folk to put under your tongue to see true folk music for what it should be.

So long ago and still traveling on :)

Donovan, Bromberg and Sebastion.. WOW

❤❤❤

I love this one, thank you for posting it. :-)

Fabtastic.

Travelling Light. Cliff Richard and the Shadows

How cool is this? Thanks for sharing mate!

Amazing! Thank you!

Jesus what a slice out of a another time. They're all playing so well, complete pros, but it's all so slightly twisted at the same time. It's very much in the tradition of vaudeville, that what you were there for, what you were getting paid for, and what people expected was entertainment, not high art. These guys for all they had to do with any sort of rustic, rural American life they're singin' about (Sebastian is from Brooklyn, Donovan from Scotland, and Bromberg a boy from Philly) they do it right.

Donovan has the mellowest tone . . . This one has a country flair and needs to be covered by Keith Urban or Brad Paisley! More Donovan please!

Too Sweet !!!

John Sebastian played on a Gordon Lightfoot album.

Superb

Un grande Donovan

Sweet!

Just love

John Sebastian also played harmonica on The Doors' Roadhouse Blues. He was versatile enough to play against type.

Holy f that harmonica

PBS had great shows back in the 70s on Sounstage

First heard it as B-side of a Herman's Hermits single.

Thanks for this rarity! These lads toured together in 74? Did not know. Any more from this line-up?

happy

You just hit that right on the head!- 👍

Aquesta cançó és com una màquina del temps, em transporta al passat, Cliff Richard, Donovan, Loving Spoonful... quins records de joventut que sempre perduraran...

Cliff Richard did this song in !961..long before you mate....

I don't know who did it.. he says. How can that be, such a popular and well known tune in those days...

This legendary song is also done by HERMAN'S HERMITS.

Good version of Cliff's old song which I've always liked (oh no) but I don't know how Donovan could not know who first recorded it. After all, he must have looked up the words and I personally would want to know who first did it. My guess is that he didn't want to admit to singing a Cliff song.

Has donavan never heard of Cliff Richard ? he sang this with the shadows 19 61

Good look

Traveling light was on a herman hermits album.i think but not surre hermans hermits on tour.i saw donovan at beatlefest,.with kelly his green guitar,told many stories.he san guinevere of the royal house of athens.

Boom

Billie Holliday sang this song. Even before Sir Cliff. 2 songs that I prefer are by J.JCale, and Tindersticks(Scottish connection)

Don should go to Nashville and give us a C&W Album. Just a full album of CnW classics.

And no one sang about bodily functins or repeated the same phrase ten times.

I never knew Bromberg played lap-style. This was just a bit after he played flattop on Mike Auldridge's first record

Cliff Richard

Beautiful. What would Cliff Richard say?

Johnny and The International Scrotums first recorded this in Surbiton, circa 1950. I think Lance Crusty-Smegma was playing bass back then.

Someone said that Billie Holliday sang this. NO she didn't. She sang a song with the same title and totally different words. There seems to be several song call by this title. Remember, there is no copyright on song, or book titles.

Donovan doesn't know who recorded Travelling Light?? That's like saying he doesn't know who recorded Heartbreak Hotel. (Pretentious prat!)

Recorded by Cliff Richards.

I was surprised it was actually the Cliff Richard UK hit. A nice song from Cliff, but he never had a hit with it in the States and he was little heard of over there. So Donovan must have had to teach the song to John Sebastian, as John was American, and therefore may never have heard of Cliff. Maybe that is why Donovan did not mention Cliff to John. Now I have heard Donovan's version in full, I don't think it is as good as Cliff's original, as much as I like early Donovan. I noticed his version is a little slower, and extended.

I am quite sure Donovan could remember who recorded this song that he remembered of old: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJOpgMVmp9Wahok.html Probably not so cool back then to admit it!
