Pretty sure there were "half naked women" selling stuff in the 70's. My father and I would watch the Dukes of Hazzard. You know who Daisy Duke was? What was she wearing?
@@thegatesofdawn...1386 after they died i left the area where we all lived. i headed out in my stepvan and heard igot a name while in north carolina. it got released after they died and i never heard them play it. it hit me like a freight train. their songs still make me emotional 50 years later
In watching these videos I've come to believe that what Simon and Garfunkel were to harmony, Croce and Muehleisen were to stringed instrument. These two guys together didn't need anything else. They play everywhere, and entire shows, and concertc could be performed with just them, and their guitars. An Amazing partnership to hear.
I was only 4 years old when Jim Croce died in that plane crash. But my father was a huge fan of his. He taught himself how to play guitar by buying the same Ovation guitar that Croce used and listening to his music. Now I play Croce's music non-stop when I'm driving.
I was only 9yrs old when he passed away. I love everything about this song, down to Maury picking on the guitar string solo which is mesmerizing and Jim's awesome voice. I get teary eyed everytime I listen to this beautiful song. May Jim and Maury Rest in Paradise 🎇
I was watching the much-heralded tennis match between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King when a crawler came across the screen announcing this tragedy. The saddest irony was that they had been fulfilling a promise to return (at the same rate, too!) to a concert that Jim had to cancel the previous year.
Absolutely love these three and always will. Rest in peace to Jim Croce, Maury Muehleisen, and Tommy West. Even though Jim and Maury were the amazing duo that made magic, it was still great when Tommy joined them on stage! Hopefully I can meet them in heaven one day 🧡
This is what I grew up on…Jim G. John Denver and Dave Mason! Those truly were the days of simplistic raw talent! Of course I moved on to Zeppelin and many others but even with them…Zeppelin lll was the best…it reminded me of the music like this…acoustic magic with beautiful harmonies of thoughtful lyrics! I never get tired of any of this remarkable music from when I was ten…to now! It just reminds me of better times!!!
To all lifelong, strong Jim and Maury fans & followers, please have a safe & HAPPY NEW YEAR! January is these never forgotten troubadours birthday month. Happy birthday guys we so wish you were here. An Upper Darby brother.
When an artist can make their live renditions better than the recordings, that’s when you’ve made it. Jim Croce was one of the very few who was capable of such talent. Such an underrated musician
Keith Moon of The Who doing the intro ! That's epic - Keith looked serious for once - that was a nice mood to take up for him. While Jim did not write this song - clearly he had to be the one, along with Maury to "deliver" it to the public & made the song was it was & is !
I've seen Jim Croce in person right before his death I couldn't believe myself that I was Jim Croce The Gorgeous Has passed away Jim's death Brock my Heart I Cherish Jim's Memories an Beautiful voice song's.......... an Beautiful Memories of Just once In a lifetime getting to met Jim Croce in real live person..... Oh what a lovely soul Jim Croce was....... Memories of lovely Jim Croce.
Painful yet tranquil. I was howling with laughter when I saw Keith intro a beautiful artist and how much he's missed and Croce went into his prophetic I've got a name. #Kings #GateKeepers
🎶I've got a name, I've got a name🎶 🎶And I carry it with me like my daddy did🎶 🎶But I'm livin' the dream that he kept hid🎶 🎶🎶🎶 🎶Movin' me down the highway🎶 🎶Rollin' me down the highway🎶 🎶Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by🎶🎶
@atp1962 I love this music and miss both Jim and Maury Muehleisen, it is a sound you seldom hear anymore. No one to arry the torch forward after folks like Jim are gone. Love guitar and the picking. Thanks for posting
I got a name! Was für ein toller Song von Jim. Bewußt habe ich mit 18 Jahren gehört meine Freundin war schon ein Fan von Jim mit 15 oder 16! Heute sehe ich dieses Lieblingslied Jim Croces im Netz und er spielt dabei meine Lieblingsgitarre eine Ovetion Legend in sunbirst, da bin einfach nur hin und weg! Schade, dass Jim schon 1973 starb, wie auch Auch Bruse Lee, und J.R.R. Tolkien irgendwie ein tragisches Jahr für alle "meine" Helden! Redwanderer
Tommy west on piano, and of course Jim and Maury. Tommy was not on the plane that tragic night on September20, 1973. 6 lives were taken Jim, Maury, Robert Elliott the pilot,George Stevens(comedian) Rd manger and booking agent dennis rast and mike cortese. Long live the music and memories!!!!! The acoustic kings!!!
The only glitch here is the canned applause for a song that wasn't out yet. I Got A Name wasn't released as an album until December 1973. Great footage though; one of Jim's last concerts.
I believe "Operator That's Not How It Feels "/ Jim Croce was on the charts about the same time as "Something's Wrong With Me "/ Austin Roberts i could be wrong
I remember hearing these songs when I bought the "I Got A Name" album just after Croce's death in '73. I remember "Five Short Minutes" but did not understand what the song was about. It was 20 years later before I found out what the line "She casted me in plaster..." meant! I've missed Croce these past 35 years.
No fancy lights, or half naked women...pure and simple talent. Oh how I miss those days. RIP Jim and Maury.

Obviously, they meant in such music videos, at least much less than recently.
Just want to leave a note that after all these years, I still miss Jim , Maury and this song.
i got to spend several years close to jim, maury and jims best friends. i miss them like it was yesterday
Yes, me too. Heartbreaking.
@@thegatesofdawn...1386 where do you live and did you get to see them.they were my good friends for several years

Heaven is so lucky to have them.

I think I only now realise how much strength this song gave me to become who I wanted to be..,.

Maury Muehleisen. He died in the plane crash with jim and is one of the better guitarists I've seen. His solo music is good too, it's on youtube!
I had no idea he was with Jim. Jeebus.
2 Great Men
When i hear jim c singing i automatically think of maury and his guitar playing...cant seperate these two musical icons!
Maury was so much a part of Jim's sound! They were awesome!!
Oh hell yeah. Many of his songs would just be chords if he was on his own and singing
Trivia: Jim Croce at first backed Muehleisen on guitar, but gradually their roles reversed, with Muehleisen adding a lead guitar to Croce's music.
So true lebtu.
As a Persian college student, I loved Jim 's story telling.
It's an ancient gift put in music.
Loved y'all forevermore.....

I was 8 and was huge fan. 48 years have passed and I still am
I was 20
yes i sure they are and well deserved i might add
I was 10. I’m freakin crying here..

Visited Jim’s grave with my wife last week you could feel his presence. Just a couple miles from valley forge Pa🎸🎸🎸🎸
Love the spotlights shining off Maury’s guitar.

jim croce and maury muehleisen are the jim croce sound.still knowing and remembering their mark in life.
We miss you Jim!
They left us early but their songs stays forever.
Maury Muehleisen brought me here. He and Jim were geniuses and played/sang so well together.
Few days before Jim and his mate ,Maury the guitarist passed away in plane crash..what a wonderful couple they were ..rest in peace Jim and Maury.
Maury on guitar, Tom West on Piano.
So sad that two beautiful artists had gone too soon. 💔💔💔
I'll never understand why the good ones are always taken from us way too soon! Thank you for your timeless music Jim!
Yeah wierd huh and the messed up people get to stick around forever 😂

Love his music R.I.P.
The two best EVER
Lost for words Jim
Yah they were great! Haunting songs. Sad ending!
He has that very clear resonate voice. No auto tune there. No backing track. No airbrushed video.
The world misses you Jim Croce ..........and I do too.
Keith Moon of The Who doing the intro ! That's epic - Keith looked serious for once - that was a nice mood to take up for him. While Jim did not write this song - clearly he had to be the one, along with Maury to "deliver" it to the public & made the song was it was & is !
It's the Anniversary of Moon's passing.
It's so wonderful to hear Jim again, after all these years
Life is so fragile, they would be gone a month later...
Jim would die only about a month after this concert.
Yes, that is Keith Moon at the beginning.
keith sounds just fine sober.
涙が出ます
One of the best songs ever!
Awesome
My first songwriter I always believe after all the years..this song is about america and the outbacks...adventure and the love of the country
Nostalgic
Jim was a ordinary guy, with talent that was not ordinary.
Nearly 51 Years On Never Forgotten RIP Jim & Mauary 😢😢
Still great song after so many years.
He sounded so good live..wow!
If your going my way..i’ll go with you😢 that line always makes me sad..i bet this is exactly what he’s doing in heaven..love this song
I cannot believe he is gone ...
How can it be so ?!?
Those film scorers sure picked the right act to record "I Got A Name." Jim, Maury, and Tommy brought their magic and did it just right.
Great song
Tragic 😥 that his life was so shory
His absolute best song!! If I had a dollar for every time I've listened to it...happy times growing up in the 70's! R.I.P Jim!!
He didnt write it.
R.I.P. Maury and Jim!
Awesome.
Somewhere out there the whole concert must exist
I've seen Jim Croce in person right before his death I couldn't believe myself that I was Jim Croce The Gorgeous Has passed away Jim's death Brock my Heart I Cherish Jim's
Memories an Beautiful voice song's.......... an Beautiful Memories of Just once In a lifetime getting to met Jim Croce in real live person..... Oh what a lovely soul Jim Croce was....... Memories of lovely Jim Croce.
Great artist. As I recall, this performance was given exactly 1 month before his fateful plane crash.
My guitar hero
RIP James Joseph Croce and Maury. 100% Italian. He was Sicilian just like me.
Artists that just maked songs for all times and all history this planet.
6 tons of cool 😎
Painful yet tranquil. I was howling with laughter when I saw Keith intro a beautiful artist and how much he's missed and Croce went into his prophetic I've got a name. #Kings #GateKeepers
WOW
Wonderful!
What a beautiful intro by Keith.
Maury plucks these beautiful runs with such ease haha jeez. Hed be crazy today
🥀Amazing Song🥀☝️
I saw them on that broadcast "In Concert," loved both songs. R.I.P. Jim, Maury, and Tommy.
Jim was such a great singer/songwriter.
R.I.P. Jim
Cool seeing Moon with the intro also!
🎶I've got a name, I've got a name🎶
🎶And I carry it with me like my daddy did🎶
🎶But I'm livin' the dream that he kept hid🎶
🎶🎶🎶
🎶Movin' me down the highway🎶
🎶Rollin' me down the highway🎶
🎶Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by🎶🎶
I looove "5 short minutes" so much

Just awesome.
What a beautiful song ❤

So sad that he wrote and sang this song about life not passing him by and with his life cut short, it sadly seems that his life did pass him by. : (
The Best!
ur the man JIM!
WILL FOREVER & ALWAYS MAKE ME THINK OF SILL;Y MOMENTS IN TIME WHILE YOUNGER AND ALL OF THE FOOLISH THOUGHTS MY BROTHER AND I HAD !
Still grieving their loss.😪
maury muehleisen & Jim Croce.Dere var begge store artister! Fantastisk musikk.

Grandes para siempre
good song, good time, good men ( partis trop tôt )
