I've had the privilege and good fortune to see SB in concert dozens of times, since 1972, in many places, in several countries. So many great musicians and vocalists have been part of Kim's creations. Here it is a half century later and i'm hearing the band in Canajoharie, NY tonight (august 2021). I never try to guess what songs i will hear from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, or current album. Savoy Brown's blues have "kept me holding on."
Kim Simmons,Dave walker,SAVOY BROWN,ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER.😎🎸🎶🔊☮️ BOB.
Green's Mac are always touted as the crown jewel of the British Blues Boom from the sixties. Savoy Brown may actually deserve the title.
lol wtf?
Chris Youlden, the singer they had two guys previous, said the whole British Blues revival thing turned out to be such a shame. Maybe if SB had gotten their due as much back home as in the states, things might've been different.
Singers leave for different reasons, though. I think Dave Walker here was their best known and even he left after three good albums. Funny you mentioned Mac since that's just where he went to record an album right after this.
This CD (yes) is in my six disk player today, as we speak. My sisters boy friend, who was in a band, pointed to this album in a record store in 1974. "Buy this one", he said. End of story.
@coogan8825 indeed. The Mac couldn't contain him either!
@coogan8825 what's good from The Idle Race?
Ya know-Someone gave me a Copy of Boogie Bros...couple years ago. i have heard a few Savoy Brown tunes in my life. at 52 im Glad i found this Band so late in life What a Great Fukkin Band!!! i can't Get Enough !!!
Probably the best band ever. I saw them twice - once at Toby Jug Blues Club in Tolworth Surrey and once at University of Hull. Totally brilliant, I am an old man of 60 now and I adore them.
I got to see Savoy Brown back in the 70s early 70s when they did Hellbound train and they did a really good job on it I never got to see Lonesome Dave though
@@danielcasaray2567 I never saw Dave Walker either 🎵 darn it but when I saw them tour behind this album they had Jackie Lynton on vocals and they were so good.! Rock on 🙏😷🎶❗👀
My first bluesy rock album was Savoy Brown music,I dig the mellow rock. I listen every night to go to sleep
I saw these guys back in 73 and the Rocked the San Berdo Swing to the ground...one of the best bands I ever saw live!!!
Tell mamas still one of my faves il play n sing it people say wow good song when did you write that song that's funny now and then people go Savoy who was that guy oh yeah savoy brown street talking? Love them clean sounding guitars on a lotta songs now that's really nicely done then again thay get down and play there asses off great band
@@johnsennett1690 did you see Kim an Co in early to mid 80s was scorching pedal to the metal hard supercharged rock , they came several times a year during that time , i saw them a lot of those times he was slingin a red sg plugged straight into jcm800 playing raw wailing howling Roaring heart pounding slide guitar yet so incredibly melodic an musical in full blown hard rock , when i think of blues an rock , Kim Simmonds 1st outta whats left of the ol memory bank . ** also his Tone was bringing the amp just to the clip w master vol down low an vol up for a really cool blooming kind of electric blur , not real clean not heavy overdriven
Song written by Dave Walker...one of the best cuts on the album. What a band they were in the 70's.
I seen them two in the early 70s there really a good band the best ever I ever heard as far as blues is concerned
This song was written by Vanda and Young. Malcolm and Angus’s older brother from the Easybeats
I used to listen to Savoy Brown when I was a junior in High School, 1973. Having a brother 7 yrs. older made Me way above any top 40 shit all My friends were hooked on. They kept it going until all of the members dropped lead guitar/vocals, And formed Foghat taking on one more member. I guess that is why early Foghat was so good, They were Savoy Brown! Still one of My favorites, Timeless blues. Thank You very much for putting this up.
my favorite time seeing savoy brown in PGH for their savage return album tour and opening up for Roy Buchanan at the number one concert voted many years in a row... the Stanley theater 👈
My favorite band since I was 3 years old in 1969. Saw them in Vancouver B.C. live. The best show ever.
I just heard this album for the first time. This, like, immediately jumped into my top 10 favorite albums.
THIS is the best Savoy Brown album! Why? Cuz it's the one I owned! And learned to play every song on drums and guitar. My blooze skool.
I learned about Dick Dale later in life. Found Kim Simmons's Lion's Share when I was 14.
Then, now and forever. Classic.
I love this album, I think it´s Savoy Browns best album. The keyboard and the piano makes the big difference
Savoy Brown, Technics SUV900 amp and 4 Bose-speakers is all I need. Boogie!
lol I Remember driving around with my brother in the late 70's cranking this on our 8-track player windows down! MAN These guys were cool!
I seen Savoy Brown when they touring for this album during the 70s. Went to the Paramount theater in downtown Portland, Oregon with some friends. Had front row seats in the balcony. Those were great seats. Great show. I'm 70 now, still listening.... RL.
Damn good album! The singing rocking blues with harmonica, organ and piano. The whaling guitars, slide, drums and all. I mean, whats not to like. All good songs too. Thanks so much for this awesome upload. :D
It's amazing. This music is many years old and still better than whats produced today.
Man this is GREAT blues - reminds me of some long lost fun times THANKS!
# 8 Love Me Please: One of the greatest blues songs ever captured on vinyl. Sublime blues deftly executed by consummate musicians who understood that “The whole is greater than its parts”. A true work of blues art. Credit is also due to the studio engineers and final mastering. Blues at it’s finest!
Totally agree! In a lifetime of great, beautiful, fantastic blues by the great Kim Simmonds this one stands out as a true masterpiece ! So true lyrics, guitar blues and piano, so poignant . So overlooked but will always stand the test of time!
,
I have to Agree!
Hall of fame band, hall of fame music.
My gawd I was only17 when I first heard this masterpiece.
I can't believe I lost this at some point in my life and now here I am....again!
Man am I ever grateful to you for sharing this special joy. It's like running into an old, long lost dear friend. : )
I was introduced to Savoy Brown up at Butch's place. I had just dropped a quarter hit of orange sunshine and all of the people at the party and I listened to "Street Corner Talking" all night long and all I did was laugh all the time.
I actually want to update my first comment that I made earlier that I was 16 years old when I got this album lionshare and I got a lot of other albums by them two at that time and I really appreciated Kim Simmonds guitar playing I think you did one of the best guitarists it's ever come along
just a great treat thru the years ,saw them many times in the day ,never ounce saw a bad show -kim simmons deserves so much admiration and credit for never giving up thu the years and music changes. thanks so much
I do believe Dave Walker was one of the best vocalists they had. In my opinion he set the bar.
he was a gritty singer but very undependable. He left Savoy Brown to join Fleetwood Mac and only stayed with them a short time also.
thanks tommy ham....we used to cruise out in the country at night in the old chevy pick up truck..smokin weed and drinkin brews..jammin to Savoy Brown....my two favs. was second try and denim demon...back in 73..dig it !!!
sounds like me in the city ☮ ♡ ♫ ♪ shot in the head ☆ Can't find you
One Fine album,Got to be the best Blues,Rock album.Kim Simmonds-Lead Guitar,Harmonica,Dave Walker-Vocals,Paul Raymond-Keyboards,Guitar,Andy Pyle-Bass,Dave Bidwell-Drums.Who could ask for anything more.......Super
I was turned on to Savoy Brown when my older neighbor who was 42 at the time me 20 in 1983 grabbed a album out his collection and played Train To Nowhere and Louisiana Blues while we were getting stoned off the pipe he had since 1968 I've been hooked ever since lol started buying all I could find of Savoy Brown at used record store all over Cleveland still have and jam them all the time now I try to find more around Memphis
I got turned onto them in a similar situation, lol.
cool, I was turned on to the Lion's Share album by an idiot classmate back when it came out in the 70s. Great music!
Love this band. Love this song. Can so relate. 25 yrs in a R&R band.+
Great old Scholl blues rock 🥁🥁🙏🙏👌👌
Whatever the line-up was, SAVOY BROWN really rocks! Good day...
I pretty much stayed with Savoy Brown even though you never had any idea who the personnel was going to be with the next album. How lucky was Simmonds to have had Lonesome Dave and Chris Youlden as his lead singer(s) on separate albums. Both were a perfect match for where Kim was musically at each incarnation. Anyone who was 'In' on Savoy Brown always loved to turn new people on to them. They usually said something like " Dude these guys are great- where the hell did they come from.Lions Share was one of their best . Thanks a ton for the memories!
Luv 'em all, with Raw Sienna being my fave. Saw Simmons and Savoy Brown at the Charlesgate in Boston in the early 1990s. It was a hotel lounge, and the band was a bit disappointing, but Simmons played well. I fully understand the need to earn a living, as some great players, despite their notoriety, never get past it. It was not held in a great venue, and frankly, not everything; not every band works, and you cant hide anything when playing live. Simmons is an all-time great, as is Savoy Brown!
Never get tired of Savoy, but only on vinyl for me
Been listin 2 them sinse 73
Love em all
My fondest memories include turning on people to Savoy Brown back around 1970 here in Montana. I think I might have broken some minds doing it though.
Still listening to this on original vinyl since I bought it '72-'73 on an original belt drive Pioneer Pl-15D with a B&O cartridge. I never tire of good blues and rock. I'll take a record or CD over any digital format I have heard so far. Listening to digital is like settling for 20% of the original music.
Thank you for putting this classic SB album on here. Man does this bring back some memories!
Like I said this is one fine album. Thanks Tom for posting it....I have like Savoy Brown the day they came out,I will never get tired of all the great music they have done...
My favorite song is Hellbound Train! First heard these guys in the early 70's! One of the best hard rock blues bands!
I too like to Hellbound train but I really liked Sunday night that was my favorite
I like the blues saddest feeling also shot in the head and second try this whole album is real good I got it back in 72 or 73 and I enjoyed every bit of it I was about seventeen😊
I always liked this lineup of SB. Lonesome Dave had that gravely growl of a voice that was perfect for this blues band. Always one of my favorite bands. Seen them in 72 in Salt Lake City with Atomic Rooster , Long John Baldry and Humble Pie. Wow.
Do you remember what Atomic Rooster sounded like, they are another band I think are great. Vincent Crane the founder of Atomic Rooster, was also in the band, The crazy world of Arthur Brown. He started the band, (after quitting Arthur Brown), with Carl Palmer (of Emerson, Lake and Palmer fame), their first headlining gig was in London, and the opening band was Deep Purple. I just found this out recently, I always thought Vincent Crane was a bit under rated as a keyboardist and believed that Deep Purple had "borrowed" some of his licks. He always seemed to me to be a musician that other musicians would like. By the way I like all of those bands (Long John Baldry, Savoy Brown, Atomic Rooster and Humble Pie) my favorite would have to be Savoy Brown. ps... if you get a chance listen to the song "Fire" by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, it is a classic for sure, especially if you see the music video with it. Arthur Brown was one of the first to paint his face and was followed by one more famous, (alice cooper).
+eloquentprofaniti atomic rooster with mr cris farlowe on vocals...i think...really...those days i think that uriah heep sounds like sb at the 72/74 years...
+James Brown ...thats dave walker on this album...not lonesome dave prevette...dave walker also sang on hellbound train and street corner talking....3 of my fav savoy brown albums
wow what a show that would have been
Dave Walker was their best vocalist, and from 71-73 they ruled blues rock. Street Corner Talkin and this album are the best. Loved these guys.
This is a classic album. Great listening with or without a cold brew.
Been listening to Savoy Brown since their CONCEPTION...
Seen them in Concert About 15 times in Concert Starting in 1970...
Thank you! Good tunes, bookmarked.
Great album among many...I use to have my younger cousin play this album everyday for 2 summers as my alarm clock......sure put me in a great frame of mind to go see the world..thanks for the spin around the block ☺
Perfect
such an excellent album.... i still remember listening to this on my brother’s 8 track tape...... every song is superb. thanks for loading this onto youtube.... all my albums are in storage right now.....
One of the best white blues bands ever to create musiic. Something unique about them that goes even beyond the Stones, no insult intended. So rocking, so masterful, so captivating, they should be in the Rock n roll of fame. Are they>
Great Band and great Album thx for Posting 😎👍❤
Thanks Tommy, This is so good to hear again....I love Savoy Brown.
You're Welcome Monya ☮
this is really awesome love them so much great voice too they play wonderfull.
Super Legends!!!!
love my ultimate love 4 Savoy!
Got Hell bound train out of a used bin when I 15 and never heard any else by these guys, they are very good indeed!
This music is so fine. No avant garde, no genius compositions, just plain blues and rock, and a great pleasure to listen to. Do you think it is not much? Think twice...
what a great album, thank you for puttin it on up
"Love me please": What a guitar solo!
One of the Greatest Blues Rock Band ever to Grace the Stage.
No matter who the Bands Lineup of great Musicians and Vocalists...
Kim Simmonds was the constant. That was the key.
The saddest feeling is the Paul Butterfield's Blues with a feeling 1965
Extraordinario album, como todos los de Savoy Brawn !! 👍👍
Listening to ( Love Me Please! ) , On The Lions Share LP , I think this is where KIM SIMMONS Does his best BLUES 💙 WORK ! , So Many different Movements , All across His Guitar 🎸 , I Mean Stop and listen carefully , And try to compare with Someone else's Work ! , You won't find it Anywhere !
A great spinner--thanks for sharing!
Got to see them in Fla after this came out ('73?). They opened with So Tired. Still the best concert I ever saw; ZZ Top, Blue Oyster Cult, Savoy Brown & Deep Purple as the headliner.
Wow. Quite a line up.
Yep,June 16th of 73 at the Old Sombrero. I think I was there but can't remember.........LoL
LeRoguer Awesome. I seen Deep Purple in 2005 and going to see them in September with Alice Cooper and Edgar Winter. Can't wait!
Love this band so so much :-)
This album started it all for me, have seen over 30 times, from that rock band with the singer from Boston, through about 2013 before I moved to Australia for 6 years ago, that includes the break room at intermission at the El Macambo in Toronto with Kim, DC, and Richie lol, good times for sure
Can't u hear me howlin, howlin on my darlin' she makes me jump and shout. Sexual love
when we were in our twenties. Never a time like that again. No dope, no cocaine, no ludes
no oxys, just some good smoke and some occasion acid and lots of LOVE. What a fabtastic album what a a fantastic time. I will never forget a woman that I was lucky enough to meet and weed out from the evil ones who were floating about. Never got into
a cult. Amen.
If you live it you know what others have missed.
THANK YOU 3x !! I've not heard this album since I was a teen in the `70s. I never owned it but heard it a lot from others--may have taped copy but broke or got lost. Somehow it slipped through the cracks and I'd forgotten. Hearing this now is liked being reunited with a long lost friend!
I had this album and it was really hours of enjoyment that I enjoyed back in the early 70s when I was a teenager
a treat to hear these guys, thank God for You Tube
"Shot in the Head", awesome....I'm surprised this song hasn't been redone by someone.
A Vanda and Young song. Listen to Tales of Old Grand Daddy
I don’t understand why this album has been so hard to get your hands on over the past 30 years. It’s one of my all time blues favorites and still my favorite Savoy Brown album. Thanks so much for sharing this on you tube. Incredible sound and brings back some really fine memories. What a great band. Plus they’re playing here in St. Louis this year. Needed to listen to all their albums. Thanks again.
Wow! What a band! Through all the years and all the lineups Kim Simmonds has continuously recorded some of the best blues, boogie, and ass kicking rock thaive ever heard. Unfortunately much like Humble Pie, Nazareh, Slade and others will never even be considered for the Hall of Fame. That is the saddest feeling I know!
Thank you eternally Kim Simmons
Awesome Band. Just saw them live!!
I Saw Them At The Swing In Berdo In 1972 With Fleetwood Mac Don't Remember If Anyone Else Was Their But We Went To See Savoy Brown They Played Some New Stuff From Hell Bound Train Fucking Great
One word......masterpiece.
Many many thanks for sharing "real" music. : P
Bad Ass Band..Amen
allways a great band to jam to thanks for posting
In 202 I am doing what I did in the early 70's; that is listen to Lions Share, Savoy Brown
IN 2020 THAT IS:
Time returns all the time
Saw the boys in Central Park Wollman skating rink circa when this album came out. They were great. Met Kim years later through a friend. He was very personable.
The last great Savoy Brown album
I first heard Savoy in Chicago as a kid on the fledgling WLS-FM when the played Train To Nowhere from "Blue Matter" and the damage was permanent. People hold Clapton and SRV in high esteem as blues players but have overlooked Kim Simmons for decades.
Street corner talking
Karl Taylor Leroy malchow
+Geppetto50 Typo Dude.
+Geppetto50 I hate being corrected
Not me Karl, I have always been into Stevie,Eric and Savoy. My fave was street corner talking . 1971
Amazing band thanks for upload it
17:00 Howlin' for my darling, awesome tribute to the Blues Maestro Howllin' Wolf.
The LP had an innovative album cover. It folded closed at the top, like an envelope. Open it, and the band was inside the lions head. I wish I still had my old copy.
Bass Guitar - Andy Pyle Drums - Dave Bidwell Keyboards, Rhythm Guitar - Paul Raymonde
Lead Guitar, Harmonica - Kim Simmonds Vocals - Dave Walker
Kim Simmons is Savoy Brown Old or new whatever band he had was rocking innit they were so good they had to form two bands see n em every time r they came to town

One of my favorite Savoy Brown albums. The new albums are great too.Check out Witchy Feeling, Kim gets better every time he picks up a Guitar.
Used to see Kim an Co. all the time in early to mid 80s , he would play several times a year in a place called Alex Cooleys Electric Ballroom .
Saw them pretty much everytime they played there , really superchaged hard rock , a bottle o jack a steady flow of heinekin an he was off to the races raw screamin wailing flaming top fuel really hard hitting slide guitar too , an played a red sg plugged straight into a jcm800 for the 3or4 yrs i saw him there . I took a lot of good 35mm pictures of him during that time , but my woman took off an took the pictures w her . I really miss those pictures was a special time for me , Simmonds 1 o my all time fav guitar slingers
Savoy Brown's album cover for Hellbound Train, the best of all time....I was fascinated by that album cover when I was a child...for years, I would spend time staring at it.
lions share
ha, yeah me too.. I parents played this record for me as a tyke to put me to sleep.. shot in the head is still one of my favorite songs now as I close in on 50.
I yell four because I was four, when this record came out.
So did I I stared at that album to along with looking in I thought they were both unique album covers
'74. My big sisters boyfriend, guitarist in band, said "buy this" after spotting it in the LP section of a Zayres department store (Orlando). This CD is sitting in my six disk (yes) cd changer in my car, at this writing.
Savoy Brown were/are Britains best blues band: you just can´t top their masterworks " A Step Further! and "Raw Sienna".On Lion´s Share my favorite tracks are "So Tired"(GREAT song!)and "Love Me Please".Thanks for uploading Tommy Ham!!
My personal favorite was Street Corner Talking.
I really like Lookin in, plus Wirefire is great as well.
Masterpiece
TOMMY HAM, thanks for posting this up my friend! We were teenagers when this great Band hit the scene, we loved them and still do!
Gerald West Thank you Gerald ☮ ♡ ☺
***** When was Lion's Share released? Back in the late 60's and early 70's, the local underground FM radio station played a lot of Savoy Brown. I recently purchased Blue Matter, Looking In, Raw Sienna and Street Corner Talking for my ipod. Kim Simmond's guitar and Chris Youlden's voice made magic. Thanks for posting this album.
+pmoyer50 Released 1972 and Chris was gone by then and so was the magic vocals he brought to the band
sonicstreamers Chris youlden was good, don't take anything away from Dave Walker or future Foghat singer Dave Peverret
wow...i only knew some tracks from this album , from the bootleg live at central park ny in 1972...great times from one of the greatest english band.thanks for share
What a guitar solo! What a vocal!
Magnificent track
Fantastic music is this thank you so much for uploading love it.
USED TO LISTEN TO THEM WHILE OVERSEAS BACK IN 1971
Saw them 1970-71 summer at the Wollman Skating Ring in Central Park, the place that Donald Trump fixed for city of New York Was just around time this great album was released. They were awesome beyond belief and stood out amongst the other great shows I saw at the Wollman including Led Zeppelin, Ten Years After, Beach Boys, Frank Zappa and Blue Oyster Cult. If my memory serves me correctly price of shows was about $10.00 a ticket or perhaps less. Memorable and not to be forgotten. I actually have a bootleg for that show I got from my buddy Matt who went with me. Just sick to think we are talking 46 years ago. Wow.
Ya, I hear ya, and this was from a show over 10 years ago, Kims audience is getting older, and at a bar where there were about 40-50 people, there were old guys with caines, and I did catch Kim laughing ay what I was observing at the time. Funny moments at Bar concerts
@@quaifong Well John, yes the audience is definitely Medicare-centric although i have avoided a cane up to now (LOL). My buddy was doing radio promo for Kim about 2 years back and I saw and met him at the Iridium in NYC. Maybe more interesting I saw Kim at a World Trade Center show only about ten days before 9/11. His band did the last show before the catastrophe. When I told him this he seemed quite surprised. He signed my brochure from that very show.
Voted Best Concert Performance of Shaefer's Summer Concert Series at Wollman Rink in Central Park in 1972.
Amazing....so much great music I thought I'd lost foever...She may have taken 500+ albums$#%&&$@ music lives on!!
