No drummer I’ve ever heard holds a candle once you start digging in to the stuff he played on. Booker T. Jones is a genius which is a word I don’t toss around lightly & Steve Cropper & Duck Dunn play exactly how I would if I could play guitar & bass, but everyone looked up to Al Jackson.

When you watch this, you realize it is all about the music. No glitz, no glamour, just the music. This is a must listen and watch to all music fans. The CCR concert was a classic show too!!!

Saw this when CCR played Cobo Hall in Detroit...except the intro was even cooler (I think): Dunn walked on stage, plugged his bass into the amp, and started that cool bass line. After a few seconds or so of just repeating that groove... Cropper walks on, plugs in his guitar, and plays his rhythm part of the riff, repeating over and over... Then Jackson comes out and sits at his kit, I think he adjusted a few things, then blends into the jam of that hypnotic riff... and everybody in the hall is really into this groove, then... Booker T walks out, goes to the organ, sits, gets settled, then plays that first chord. Goose bumps. This is the way I remember it, I may or may not have embellished it over the years, I may have been high at the time. And since. But either way, I went out and bought Greatest Hits album. the next day. And, yeah, Creedence was good, too, but I already had all their albums. I just couldn't get over Booker T.

Only Booker T & Steve Cropper still with us. I'd do or give anything to be able to go back in time, & see all the legends performing, before they became legends!❤

Robert M Trolinder can you imagine when some of these guys from various groups got together and played together on stage? George Harrison put together some of those times. Those guys must have been really stoked about that.

Like myself at thirteen years old, seated behind the stage and one row up, at the Sam Houston Coliseum, July, 1970. It was quite a show: Wilbert Harrison (Work Together, Kansas City) as a one-man band; Booker T. and the M.G.'s doing this song and Green Onions; Creedence Clearwater Revival...Handsome Tom Fogerty sailing his spent guitar picks up at us girls; I caught one, and had it for years in my jewelry box. The amplifiers were mountainous and almost deafening, the Coliseum being like a cavernous echo chamber; so loud that my parents heard CCR's finale, Keep on Chooglin', playing--while standing outside on the sidewalk waiting to pick us up. If you listen to CCR's Pendulum album, you'll hear how much John Fogerty's organ playing was influenced by that of Booker T.

...what's cool these days? Nothing!, and Nobody. These brothers born to other Mother's were interplanetary Cool, and transcended racism to give the world some relief in as turbulent times as we live today. You couldn't turn on an AM rock radio dial in the 60's and 70's without getting a fix of Booker! The music has lasted when all else crumbles beneath humanity's feet.

How great to watch this and know that Steve Cropper is still with us at 78, (79 on 10/21/20) and Booker T. is here, too, at 75 (DOB 11/12/44). We used to use this one on a cartridge at our radio station, if the live sports broadcast was somehow disconnected. That's one heck of a vest on Cropper, here.

In the mid 1960s, I was at Woodberry Forest School in Virginia, and we had Booker T. and the MGs play for one of our big dances. That was a real experience. Watching them play and hearing their music was so much fun. Those were the days. Amen to that!
