In 1973 many of us took a van from Port Alberni to Naniamo to see Elvin Bishop concert. The plane was late,show cancelled, we went to drown our sorrows at a nightclub,in comes the Elvin Bishop Band,we had our own show and even got a refund. My cousin travelled from White Rock to a Whinnery in Seattle, Washington last Aug 29th to see Elvin Bishop Band.❤ 🇨🇦

What a wonderful time we have lived. All the best

I've always love Mickey Thomas's crystal clear high voice!

This Mickey fella was, is and always will be the one of the voices that's more than welcome in my head 💭

Mickey Thomas has that clarity, voice, he owns this song.

Wow Mickey you really knock this song out of the park. I didn't know until today that you sang the vocals on this Elvin Bishop song, now I do. So glad to hear this you've made a lot of great music over the years and I'm looking forward to a lot more. Not to mention that you have aged very well too!!!!

Mickey Thomas one of the best voices in history...!!!!👍🤗💕💓😃😀

unbelievable! Thank God for the 70's!! 🎉

This is what you call talent.

Micky Thomas was always a vocal powerhouse. And this was always my favorite song.

This song takes me back to my youth.... I would drive around in my car singing along to this song at the top of my lungs. Those were the days..... ❤

Must be one of the greatest ways to express your feelings to stand up and sing in front of a crowd, I can't sing a note but knew someone who could and to this day admire him, resent him and love him as a friend.... hope he's still with us..miss ya Bob.

The phrasing we became accustomed to in Elvin Bishop's original was developed over Elvin's many years of hard work in both hard and wonderful places. His influence as part of the Butterfield Blues Band remains at the core of my whole life's enjoyment of some really great music. For me, Elvin Bishop just nailed this song right outta the park.

This guy is a freakish talent. Perhaps the best pure falsetto voice in rock history. This was 1999 and he still had it then. And I saw something more recent and he still had it as well. On a side note. Did anyone else notice how the sound and video go out of sync at some point during the first long guitar solo?

Love this song, I can listen to it every day.

He could sing the hokey pokey and melt me with his captivating voice

Mickey Thomas replaced Marty Balin as the male lead singer of Jefferson Starship in 1979 and was with the band in 1985 when they changed their name to Starship and had huge hits with "Sara," "We Built This City" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now."

You can never practice to be that good you are born with it That's why he can still sing today the pants off of just about anybody I don't think he's underrated I think he's underappreciated with a fantastic person also seen him interviewed quite humble when he first sang this song Elvin Bishop just couldn't get it right he wrote it to play it but couldn't sing it Make it says how about if I give it a try blew the doors off everybody I'd love to see him in concert today

Sounds just like its 1975/1976. Loved this song while I was in the Marine Corps, dated a lot.

Sounds like a lot of folks don't care for the guitarist. I'v been involved in music most of my life so here's my two cents. I have to agree with all of you. He is simply out of his element. Perhaps hasn't learned how to fit professionally. He's got some great chops and some of his fills are well executed but the song has always been about the vocal backed with Elvin's tasteful solo. So we find this unacceptable.

@guitarkevin

4 жыл бұрын

I play guitar and totally agree with most of the responses as well. You HAVE to play to the song. Great chops, but not the right place. Mickey is spot on.

When he hit that note on 3:45 like in the old days I'm convinced hes onevif the best vocalists of all time . ..

A GREAT vocal, and a very Amateur Guitarist. Some of you "Shred" worshipers will say "Amateur???" YES! I spent 53 years in the Music Business, and a Professional plays to the SONG. He does NOT try to prove how many notes he can cram into a measure! Elvin Bishop's solo was as GREAT as Mickey's Vocal. It's what MADE the Song!
