What a Babe So beautiful.Then she sings.Best voice ever.Linda rondstat Emily Harris is our heavenly music at its Best.What a woman.I was 9 in 1976.She still beautiful and rocking.Thank you for the best heart felt music you bring.God bless Bonnie Raitt
Watched this show during a break from work in 1976, had no idea who she was but soon found out, and never stopped following her music since then,amazing albums but an even better live performance
I saw Feebo onstage last night performing with a young lady singer songwriter, Alice Howe. I can tell you he definitely still has it and what a lovely person he is too.
I first heard Bonnie Raitt about 1972 and felt that she was not that appreciated by American music lovers, but then I resided in London for the remainder of the 1970s and the English loved her, as noted here on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1976, and I then saw her, as noted here, at her sensational concert at the New Victoria. Subsequently, Bonnie became a leading blues singer/guitarist in the States and just last night, won a Grammy at age 73. You go, Bonnie.

a beautiful human being and made in the image of God. We all I think come to faith from a position of doubt! You wanna be famous trust God to lead you into your particular calling. A privilege to attend some folks funeral since the walked the walk and loved since love never fails! Jesus only had plan A and you have a free will! Having a good life since no drugs in over 30 yrs and alcohol has no appeal. My mind is being transformed by the grace of God one day I'll be like Him and I can't imagine why. He is faithful who promised to complete the work He began in this old sinner
Wonderful! Thank you for this fabulous posting! Bonnie has been a huge inspiration to me since she first came onto the stage 1972. Raised my kids on her albums! This past year (2013) on community radio in Vermont, I finally had an opportunity to put together a weekly radio program "Rippin' the Blues" featuring Ms.Raitt and other female artists who inspired her! What treat to watch this extra special concert!
I never caught this OGWTep at the time [no tv] but love that many of the tracks are on her album "Give It Up" which I bought around the time. Still brilliant - an absolute classic!
Steve, just wanted to thank you for adding much of this entire concert so many of us remember and wanted to see at length- a real treat! Thank you so much. Do you know if we can purchase it (must benefit Bonnie) and if so, the website.
Blowin' Away is my favorite. Here she is a few years later singing it at the Lowell George benefit concert with Linda Ronstadt. czcams.com/video/SfETVe9lqeU/video.html

I bought the album, "At The Fair" in 75 or 76, and it's still her best one in my thinking. Awesome!
If you were lucky to meet her you'd meet a gracious, kind and friendly soul! And to see and hear her live on stage is phenomenal!
God bless the BBC for recording and archiving so much great music.
One of the best, singer, performer, guitar player, song writer
Bonnie has the Blues in her Soul where it belongs for me.
Bonnie's voice soothes me just like Grandmas buttery biscuits with strawberry jam.
LOVE THAT !Just saw Bonnie in NYC.Outside at Lincoln Ctr.AMAZING
Forty plus years later, I've just listened to this: blown away :)
Saw her with James Taylor about 3 years ago. She absolutely floored me. Had tears rolling down my cheeks at one point because I was so captivated
My favorite preference from her! I love the old grey whistle test.
Watched this show during a break from work in 1976, had no idea who she was but soon found out, and never stopped following her music since then,amazing albums but an even better live performance
I love when she plays a Mississippi Fred McDowell songs: Write Me A Few Of Your Lines / Kokomo Blues at 18:00 . I just love her!
Bonnie Raitt at her best, in my opinion. Thanks for uploading.
I've been a fan since her first album! Never stopped lovin' her!
Brilliant from Bonnie. David Crosby constantly raves about her. He knows a thing or two.
And Freebo, the bassman is an equally terrific person... look him up. He is still doing his thing, singing and songwriting!

The song , "I Can't Make You Love Me" is a song written by Mike Reid(former Cincinnati Bengal Lineman)and Allen Shamblin for Bonnie Raitt.
She speaks to my heart, so soulful and sweet.

Many a night at "Jack's Place"

Ooh, fabulous! I saw her at the New Victoria Theatre in London a few days after this was shot and she was utterly brilliant.
Loves me some Bonnie! First came across her in Atlanta in 1972. She does it right and so does the rest of the band - superb playing all round ...

Thank You for uploading this. Can't see enough of Ms. Raitt.
What a voice.
I never caught this OGWTep at the time [no tv] but love that many of the tracks are on her album "Give It Up" which I bought around the time. Still brilliant - an absolute classic!
My 2nd concert. 10 years old. San Diego Roxy (the Glow tour) 1980.
She really is amazing. She is beautiful, soulful and seemingly happy, where do I find this women !!!
Awesome! Absolutely fabulous! Thank you for uploading this video!
Bonnie is coming to England in the summer.
YES!
Sublime!
this is bonnie at her finest. the newer hits are too slick and overly produced
ものすごく懐かしい
I wonder if this Lady is available for marriage or perhaps abject worship, just the best.
...asking for a friend !
Just the best
The DVD is available on eBay, there one on there most times.
She had guts from the beginning...
She's a bonnie wee player !!!!
Brilliant. Why is this not available on DVD like Live At Montreux?
Steve, just wanted to thank you for adding much of this entire concert so many of us remember and wanted to see at length- a real treat! Thank you so much. Do you know if we can purchase it (must benefit Bonnie) and if so, the website.
I'm in you
OGWT .
Bonnie is my biological step mom.
anyone know who the players are here?
Blowin' Away is my favorite. Here she is a few years later singing it at the Lowell George benefit concert with Linda Ronstadt. czcams.com/video/SfETVe9lqeU/video.html
4:30
is bonnie playing lead or rhythm guitar during under the falling sky?
Is that Will McFarlane on guitar?
i think so
Yes. it is.
Would that be Warren Zevon on keyboards?
No. Its Alan Hand. She does introduce the band. I guess you missed that part?
The Will McFarlane interview (with the TrueTone Lounge) brought me here! czcams.com/video/_V6tcTOPcHs/video.html
sound is slightly out of sync. will try again later
