I was in Vietnam when this came out , I found my way home

Everybody thinks their era was golden but in the case of the 70’s it was double platinum.

I remember John Lee Hooker putting Bonnie Raitt’s fingers on frets as he was showing here riffs at the University of Buffalo Folk Festival in 1968. I may be old but I heard the best bands.

Old memories in music.... I was 17, a senior in high school in '72, when I first heard this album, and I decided right then and there I was going to be a musician. Then I went to college for a while and majored in the 3 W's: whiskey, women and weed. Mostly I screwed up. I guess at that point I didn't have the calling, but oh dear lord, I wish I had stuck to that dream. In the meantime, I've done good things and bad things, almost lost my soul and found it, forgot how to live and love, then rediscovered how to love life itself. Made a bunch of money and spent it all. Lived quite a life full of adventure. It's been quite a ride. Funny how literally 50 years later, I'm back to that same place in time and space as that 17 y/o kid listening to this song. I finally found my way back home. Music is magic. The best on earth. Funny how literally 50 years later, I'm back to that same place in time and space as that 17 y/o kid listening to this song. Music is magic, the best we have on this ole earth.

So ... Lowell George sits in with Bonnie Raitt & does a Stevie Windwood song. Brilliant!

This is still hauntingly beautiful 51 years later.

Beautiful. One of the few songs that are as great as the original

One of my brothers favorite songs.. I held his hand as took his last breath in August 2014. He was wasted and just wanted to find his way back home... Pancreatic cancer...RIP Cory

Classic folks doing a classic. I met Bonnie in an elevator at the Charles Hotel in Boston in 1985 while working on TV show Spensor For Hire. We were both on our way to the same place, the bar. We sat together for an hour, drinking it up and sharing tales. Car stunts and music. She is an enigma to say the least. Unforgettable.

This is why I love youtube. Every once in a while you stumble into a little treasure like this that you otherwise would not know about.

How about props to Lowell. Virtuoso player, song writer, and singer who we lost way too soon

This was my daddy’s favorite song. The original. I’ve never heard this version but I know he’d have loved it. I miss you,Daddy 💞

She really nailed that haunting, empty, gutted-out feeling from the Blind Faith original. When it comes to singin' and playin' the Blues, you could go a long ways and not find anyone better to do it than Bonnie Raitt.

I love Bonnie's interpretation of this. Let's also give a little recognition to Steve Winwood, who wrote this when he was 21 or something ridiculously precocious.

Why do all the voices and recodrings from 50 years ago sound so much better than the trash they make us listen to today?

I"ve played this song for maybe 40 years to close acoustic solo gigs, 'cause, well, finding your way home is not guaranteed. But this.....I am not worthy. What a gift, finding buried treasures like this one with Bonnie, and Lowell George too. Gulp.

When Lowell died in 1979, Bonnie was quoted in Rolling Stone magazine that she missed Lowell more than she missed being 8 years old. Still brings a tear to the eye. Miss you Lowell! Love you Bonnie!

Little feat. One of the greatest bands ever! Too bad they didn't get the recognition they deserved. Love you Bonnie.

Bonnie is still doing justice to whatever she sings now some 40 years later! Awesome performer 👍🏼

The goose bumps come a creepin the second Bonnie starts singing. Shes a true performer of talent.

I love Bonnie Raitt. Her voice is an absolute treasure.

My Mom was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's last week. Finding comfort in this song (in Blind Faith's version, too), and in my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Jer. 13:18

She's just the best- she doesn't just sings a song, she really interprets it- so you feel what the songwriter meant to have you feel- doubly good when SHE's the songwriter...Congrats on her Grammy for And Just Like That, another song that hits you right in the gut.....

Soulful, smooth, sultry, powerful, poignant, musical talent....she's got it all.

Bonnie Raitt's voice is like 'shrooms. It's both earthy and magical. Love that voice.

Not fair my parents had this and I got Kanye west

I've seen Bonnie 3 times, 1996, 2003 and 2009. Every show was amazing.

That could well be my favorite rendition of this song. She absolutely kills it. Turn it up!

Dry recorded...no studio gimmicks or EQ...and she still sounds fantastic.

There was no time like the early 70s for fine music and musicians.

Bonnie's voice is ethereal and her timing is impeccable. Have had the privilege of seeing her perform live several times, but her recordings are a constant on my home play list.

A beautiful rendition of a powerful song! Raitt has that rare texture to her voice that wrings out the emotion in any tune

I've liked Bonnie Raitt for years, but this is just next level. Phenomenal.

I'm 65, and Bonnie has been my all time favorite since I was 15. Listen to LOVE ME LIKE A MAN!

October 1972 I had just left Ohio to attend college in Texas... I’m 66 years old and this song never runs out... awesome... LG and BR... great set!

This tunes and almost whispering singing (Intelligent music and musicians), and thanks to Steve for writing this. Thanks for posting this message Postman/woman. I have applauded in the end.

I don't even know how I got to this song but damn it I am sure glad I took a wrong turn here on KZfaq.

I'm a Bonnie Raitt fan, but she is really incredible on this.

Lots of accolades for various reasons. A few very important items to note. First hat off to this channel for the absolutely perfect upload. This is a bootleg of a jam. The technology of that day is not even close to almost 60 years later. And yet this recording is crystal clear. The skill level of the musicians is amazing. Thanks for giving this the exposure it deserves. This National Archives material.

4/20 in quarintine and finding Gems like this on the utube. Great song

At nearly 60 years old I have never heard that before. Truly awesome. It's like buried treasure.

2 more gifts from The LORD to our blessed BOOMER generation. Lowell and gifted slide, Bonnie with a voice that reaches the soul. STUNNING!

If you start to cry when she starts to sing, and keep on crying all the way thru... it's alright, it just means you're human.

Bonnie Raitt had so much confidence as a young woman in the 70's, when it was hard as fk for a girl to think she was worth anything at all--especially in the music business which was sexist as all hell in those days. I have no idea how she did it. This is a fantastic song, by the way.

A million thank yous to whom ever took their time to share this historic radio broadcast. B R A V O...!

Got a tee shirt for my birthday: "I Might Be Old, But I Got To See All The Great Bands" How true!!!!!

Why am I just now hearing this for the first time??? It's the most hauntingly beautiful version of an amazing song. I've been a fan of Bonnie, Lowell and John since the 70s but never knew they played together.

Best live shows were put on by Lowell George and Little Feat. I still miss him to this day. One of the best guitarists and singers.

that voice is one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever heard...

Just listened to this today. I've been in love with Bonnie's voice since the early 70's and Blind Faith shortly thereafter. This is true soul of the time and yet timeless

I’m pretty sure I could feel Bonnie’s cheeks slush and turn bright red when she introduced lol in the very beginning of the song. I’m sure you could feel the electricity through the radio waves as well back in the day. So sweet.❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Wow...Had forgotten just how good Bonnie is. RIP, Lowell. And Steve writing the sound.

That's as clean as it gets.

Unbelievably soulful! Have mercy, Bonnie. What a great talent.

Bonnie sings this song beautifully.

Magnificent. Her voice at 23 has the blues of a much older person. Rivetting.

Just saw this for the first time. Wow, what a fine interpretation of a classic tune! Four outstanding musicians doing a song that is still meaningful today, fifty years later! Thank you all!

Lowell George, so missed. Wonderful to hear him playing with Bonnie Raitt.

Absolutely enjoyed Bonnie Raitt and Lowell George - Little Feat!

Can’t Find My Way Home is one of the best tunes….it’s one that takes me back to my twenties. The time in my life when I was taught just how cold and hard this world can be.

"Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time." Turned seventy last spring and now I know what that means

I absolutely love Bonnie! Fell for her and her music when I was 12. Now I'm 54 and still crazy about her. ✌🌍🎵

Sooo Beautiful, I cried listening to it, thanks for sharing.

“I can’t find my way home” expresses what must be a universal human feeling. We are but wayfaring strangers in this world. Even if you stay in one place, home changes until you can’t recognize it anymore. You’ve just got to keep singing.

Man Bonnie’s voice just melts me….so good

I'm just sitting here with my eyes shut January 1, 2020 remembering how tremendous all of this music was and how it still is the best. Very nice KZfaq compilation tonigt

I thank my folks for turning me on to these folx

Stlll today I enjoy playing this beautiful song with my old Friends. Everitime we fall in a big deep feeling.

I'm VERY lucky to have grown up in the 60's & 70's and have music like this, been listening to her version now for 60 year's.

I know I'm getting older, but man...they don't make it like this anymore....fantastic...

I first heard her perform about four doors down Big Basin Way from my house in Boulder Creek, CA at a bar/restaurant named Scopazzi's. The dance floor in the bar barely held more people than were in her band. Beautiful music...beautiful night.

😮 Almost too gorgeous a rendition of an authentic masterpiece: vocals, players, arrangement , mood. What a treat to close one’s eyes and just feel it go.

This generation of white kids learned their craft at the feet of the century's greatest blues men whom they actively sought out, championed and dearly loved. The proof is in the pudding. Sanctified music straight from the heart to make you shiver and shake.

Would love to hear Bonnie Raitt and Steve Winwood do this together!

i've always been insecure about my looks; but i look a lot like Lowell George, and if Bonnie Raitt thinks Llowel is cute, that's all i need to live a happy life

Oh Bonnie you do that soooooo good

The comments that came from posting this made me feel really good. I thank you all. I am an old soul with an old heart. I have loved Bonnie from a long time ago and sang her songs whenever there was a band that would play them. She truly is an icon. An old soul.

For you fellow oldsters feeling lost: home is where spirit lives. Bodies age, faces change and places fade, but you are always you.

Bravo. Ahhhhh, the good old days. This one really took me back. Thanks

I was already a fan of hers at this point. She was probably 20 then. And this was maybe three years after Stevie did this with blind faith. She knocked me flat then and still does. This was a year I discovered her, Emmylou, John Prine, David Bromberg, John Hammond and Townes van zandt

Good gracious!!! It has taken me over forty years to hear a better version than Blind Faith!

RIP Lowell George. Bonnie Raitt is one of the most under-rated slide players out there! Second only to Johnny Winter!

Saw Little Feat in Dallas in early 79, went to the room with the band and smoke a doobie with Lowell and the band. Asked them where'd you get the name for the band and Paul said, pointing to Lowell's shoes, "Well, look at them little fuckin feet". You don't forget a night like that.

My God Bonny and I thought I could play...I've been a jazz player for 40 yrs (bass player) I've been a huge fan of yours since the 70s you got me into music professionally thank you so much

Real human musicians playing real instruments in real time and Bonnie Raitt sings. Pretty awesome!

Awesome stuff back then... this IS music all you folks that were not around then... Thanks for sharing... Talent with capital letters!

Absolutely phenomenal! Lowell was one of my favorite players. Bonnie, I appreciate the way you've used your talent over the years. Peace y'all!

when i moved to europe in the late 1970's i took two albums with me. one was linda ronstadt and one was bonnie. i wore those albums out.

I once heard a band leader say "we tune because we care" ..........this is well worth the wait!!!

There is nothing to say as appropriate as O....M.....G......!!!!! I don't know how I have missed this all these years, given my love of the song, and Bonnie, and Lowell...... Glad as all get-out that I found it today!!!!

Love how Lowell proves how sometimes "Less is More".

Oh man! Killer. I got goose bumps.

This is EXACTLY why utube is awesome.....when the hell u ever gonna hear this again or 3ven know it existed KMN BEAUTIFUL BONNI3BRAITT. UNSUNG?

I really miss Lowell George. What he could have done......

Thank you for letting me experience this.

Saw her open for Little Feat at Max's Kansas City- It was like having them in your living room!

A great musical era. Lowell died way too young. Great slide player, great soulful singer and a great song writer. The early Feat albums were jewels. How could one band have so many super-talented people? I guess there were others but the Feat were something else.

Is this the best thing Bonnie ever did ? Sublime

...I probably have heard this a hundred times. Never, have I not shed a tear.

Perhaps the best cover of this song I ever heard.
