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
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.
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.
joe', That "haunting, empty, gutted out feeling" perfectly describes the feeling of the 60's after Woodstock. The 60's were over, and everyone was exhausted.
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!
I remember that time well. She spoke for many of us who loved Lowell and Little Feat and were overjoyed that Lowell had released his first solo LP- and then we mourned our great loss of the one and only, never to be replaced Lowell George. I think it's only the true greats like Bonnie who can speak about these legends and do them justice by giving us their music again by playing it, sometimes even better, just for the absolute enjoyment of it. Thank you, Bonnie. Your voice always soothes my soul.
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.
Now I get it , didn't realize he was that young when he wrote this , but , hell weren't they all, I was 13 in 79 and took it to heart , 55 now ,still grips my soul, as it was of course, I have aged gracefully
@@halfon005 I referred to the writing, and it seems it comes down to his birthdate, and exactly when he initiated the writing. my best memories from the time of it's release in the States, was it was being reported he was 16. do some deep digging if you wish
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.
I remember that night at the Charles Hotel, Regatta Bar. I was the Bartender. Oh, my god what a show. I was blown away when she approached the bar and ordered a drink. I was so numb at her presence. Blessed to be there. And thankful to this day, I had that very brief opportunity to touch greatness.
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.
She has been a favorite singer of mine for five decades. Saw her 20+ years ago at Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. Wonderful. I bought her latest recording (now, what, 3 years old? and was saddened to hear the strain and weakness in her voice. Age, lifestyle? don't know why but it was diminished. I much prefer her earlier work, before she was "discovered" by the masses and went so commercial in the compositions and losing a rawness that informed her bluesiness. (although "I Can't Make You Love Me" is a WoW! of a song). Am glad for her success but she's not the same singer. A fave singer/songwriter who HAS remained strong into her 70's is Joan Armitrading.
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.....
I remember when there was a mural on the wall at The Earl Of Old Town bar in Chicago of Bonnie Raitt. Used to go there when I was a young man and play when they had open stage night.
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
My Mom cannot find her way home anymore. The song brings me comfort. My 'Blind Faith', which I am not insecure in, brings me comfort. Trolls are cute but mean.
Can't claim to have seen them all, but a lot of them. Got a lot of T-shirts from some of those shows, and while some of them are pretty faded, and they don't fit anymore, I think I'm gonna make a quilt of them.
That might be a live take, but that as recorded multitrack and mixed on a console. Plenty of EQ and compression. It is very simple though, which is totally unlike what they do today. Even with live recordings that are like this.
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.
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.
“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.
Got ya brother. But sometimes it's good getting lost. When I was fighting with the wife I'd stomp out, get on the motorcycle and head out and just ride. "Got to get your mind right". Couple of hours till I didn't know where I was, stop and see the stars. Cheated though, used the GPS to get back home.
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.
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.
Kindred, no doubt! Watch her absolutely SHRED LoveMe Like A Man… she completely oozes from the depths of her soul and out her fingertips up and down the frets!! I know I watched that live video and played along with her close to 10,000 times… I simply back her up and help fill space lol She’ll always be my guitar goddess guru & pretend band mate lol 🎼🎤❤️🔥🎶
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.
Certainly, I sense a quality in her voice and intonations that are of the most honest sorrow and I don't know enough about her to intuit a cause. It may just be some inborn mystery that comes with her to reveal itself with such a relatable sound and style, 'old soul' may say it well enough.
A friend of mine introduced her music to me back in 75. She was at her best then as can be heard on this recording. It is a real shame that she didn't make it big until she was half of what she was at her peak. She is amazing
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
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.
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.
Hey Marty, Smiley here just doing my time . My 1st posting in a long time but had to reply since this was the latest so far. Can you believe there are people that have no idea how Bonnie can reach your soul. We are fortunate to have lived this as our sound track. Peace ✌✌✌
I have always adored her voice her guitar riffs and slide are unmatched ! I was lucky enough to meet her and can honestly say she is beautiful inside and out ❣️
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.
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 CZcams compilation tonigt
@@ieatlightning4236 July11, 2020 the day after I found I have exposed to COVID and now have to wait 2 days for test and 7-10 days more for results Been staying at home since March and a "home health" nurse who came to MY house exposed me You just can't make this $hit up. "I'm near the end and I don't have the time."
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.
Of course my friend. It was and is sublime. Can't make time stand still but I have the records and the experience of being there when it unfolded. For us, that is it. A man can ask no more really, than witness greatness.
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!
Give me a break Daryl. I posted this months ago. I am not interested in making this a project. It was merely a critique. I don't have time for trolling. Go persecute someone else.
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.
Shows how the 70s were a much more mellow and spontaneous time, in many respects. Thinking about what song to play at the spot and taking as much time for tuning as needed, without any complaining from the audience.
True enough; before clip on tuners it was all done by ear. Also, the primitive gear (no boards full of stomp boxes and rack mounted effects processors) didn't cover up mistakes, which left it raw, and imbued the music with a lot more human touch/feeling... at least to my sensibilities. To be honest though, I have to admit I don't miss all that E,.A. G. D. B. E. noodling between songs.
I love BONNIE RAITT MY SISTER TURNED ME ONTO HER MISIC WHEN I WAS 15 AND IM FLYING ON 55 NOW AND STILL LOVE HER MUSIC HER SONGS TELL SO MANY LIFE STORIES THAT I HAVE MADE MY WAY THRU I LOST MY SISTER TO CANCER BUT WE NEVER LOST BONNIE AND I PLAY HER SONGS. AND SING THE WORDS TO MY SISTER WHO FOUND HER WAY HOME
beautifully said and spoken .. my deepest condolences for your loss yep Bonnie is great without a doubt.. it just works out for her so well to cover this Blind Faith classic best wishes to you
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
Some voices simply have the way of telling the truth more beautifully than others. Such a voice is Bonnie. How wonderfully lucky we are to be the ears to hear her tell it.
I saw John Hammond Jr. opening for Jimi Hendrix (!) at Hunter College in March of 1968. While he was playing, his guitar strap broke. When he mentioned it to the crowd, a guitar strap came sailing through the air and landed at his feet! The show continued, he rocked the Blues, and then Jimi came out and rearranged my brain on a molecular level! By the way, I had FRONT ROW SEATS! Yes!
Playing on repeat while trying to organize my studio. Not getting very far, stopping often, getting lost in the tuning of the guitars, the obvious comradery of the group, and Bonnie Raitt' s love for and ethereal version of Cant Find My Way Home.
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
For a long time she was a musician’s musician, then she was a star, then she was an icon. Now she’s the Bonnie we all love and have loved forever. Listening to this, that voice would have made her a damn fine late night dj, too. Thank you to whoever posted this, I’m off to chase down the full session now
@@NatalietheDoll MP3 is how I found this version of the song. An ex girlfriend of mine had LimeWire and found three or four different tracks from this session and burned them on CD for me. Talk about an amazing find!
This was recorded the year my future wife introduced me to Bonnie's music. We saw her live again last week... every bit the Wonder Woman she was 44 years ago. This recording with Lowell, John, Freebo has to be one of the best recordings ever!
+ Jim. I agree. One of the best recordings ever. Also, I tend to think live performances are almost always better than studio recordings. Also, have you noticed that through the 70' -- 80's , performances on live radio, including Europe by all means , were something very special. They were stripped down to the bare essentials, as in one or two performers and one or two instruments. Examples are : " The Pretender and The Offender" in Holland, Carmelita, Desperados Under the Eaves and a few more by Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon and David Blue and at least one more by Lowell George where he is trying ti explain American guitar playing to the Germans , including a demonstration on how Ry Couder played. These recordings are such a rich contribution to our American culture.
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've loved the Blind Faith version for all these year and never knew this wonderful version was out there! Started looking for Angel from Montgomery and wound up here. Made my day and then some!
I saw Miss Bonnie at the New Orleans Jazz Fest back in the early 1980's. With all the schlock in this world, it's not often one sees the real deal; when you do, it leaves an impression.
I was fortunate to work as an intern at Ultrasonic when these recordings were being made there for WLIR-FM. I think we recorded these on Tuesday nights live and they went out directly over the air. They would be rebroadcast on Friday nights later in the week... This was a time when the sound engineers of the early/mid 1960s were still working and the younger guys were coming onto the scene. John Bradley was the head engineer there. Great vibe in that studio in those days. It's hard to believe that its now fifty years later. I was just starting out in my adult life and now I am close to seventy. Wow! :)
I was in Vietnam when this came out , I found my way home
Thank you, I am glad that you made it back!
Respect!
Thank you for your service!!
Welcome home... Tks to you and the rest of us... 69, 70, and part of 71... Kontum
😍💯👍so glad you’re home
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.
BigDumApe wholehearted agreement.
it is gold
Essato !
BigDumApe I couldn't agree more
Bonnie and John Prine do Angel from Montgomery the best you will ever hear.
Everybody thinks their era was golden but in the case of the 70’s it was double platinum.
AMEN!
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

I saw John Lee Hooker open for Bonnie at Key West High School. Thinking it was 1974. He taught her well.
Same....Keep Enjoying brother ~
@@williamreilly5469that’s so badass!
So ... Lowell George sits in with Bonnie Raitt & does a Stevie Windwood song. Brilliant!
This is still hauntingly beautiful 51 years later.
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.
A VERY long ways
joe',
That "haunting, empty, gutted out feeling" perfectly describes the feeling of the 60's after Woodstock. The 60's were over, and everyone was exhausted.
Hands down!
well said
Amen! There’s no one who can sing the blues with more emotion than Bonnie Raitt. That’s why she’s my favorite singer!
Not fair my parents had this and I got Kanye west
great comment i mean great
I feel your pain!
Life sucks huh

Little Feat had such a sound. Couldn't believe they weren't Cajun. The sound was SOOOOOO Louisiana. His voice was irreplaceable.
I heard that story, too, but I heard it was '5yrs old'. Bonnie saying '8 yrs old' makes more sense.

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.

How is Little Feat not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
I walked into a record shop in Newcastle upon tyne and heard this music I asked who are they. It was Little Feet
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 💞
House Of Lords does an amazing cover as well . Hard and kickin' 😊
Why do all the voices and recodrings from 50 years ago sound so much better than the trash they make us listen to today?
Word
The overall signal path and the equipment involved was far more simple. As a result, it captured more.
Because they WERE better! Wow, Bonnie before the gravel sounds like an angel.
who making you listen to trash? the www brings it all to you...seek it out and stop whining.
They are actually singing, playing. No auto tune. Bonnie had one of the most beautiful, pure, voices then Now, still beautiful but more seasoned ❤
Bonnie is still doing justice to whatever she sings now some 40 years later! Awesome performer 👍🏼

couldn't have put it better myself, I don't know what "it" is, but she got it all day long.
I saw her a few months ago. She is still absolutely amazing. New album is so good.
Only thing better about Bonnie is her touch with a 12 String!!
I remember when there was a mural on the wall at The Earl Of Old Town bar in Chicago of Bonnie Raitt. Used to go there when I was a young man and play when they had open stage night.
I can’t make you love me if you don’t. Awesome song.

At nearly 60 years old I have never heard that before. Truly awesome. It's like buried treasure.
Listen to Clapton's version then Ramblin on my mind on EC was here!
I'm 68, and had seen Bonnie Raitt, John Hammond, and Little Feat all separately. This is sheer gold!
Listen to the original recording by "Blind Faith"!! 💖
Yep. My thoughts exactly.
@@gabriellegallagher-mckinne435 Yep. They slaughtered the song. Should have left it alone.
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 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
For you fellow oldsters feeling lost: home is where spirit lives. Bodies age, faces change and places fade, but you are always you.
2 more gifts from The LORD to our blessed BOOMER generation. Lowell and gifted slide, Bonnie with a voice that reaches the soul. STUNNING!
'JESUS said "unless a man is BORN AGAIN he cannot see the kingdom of God" ' (John 3.3, 33-34)-- DO THIS NOW!!!!! for eternity in God's kingdom!!!
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.
Bonnie was from a professional music family. Her Dad, John Raitt, you may remember from many Broadway musicals like Carousel.
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.
Me too! She is above Joni Mitchell to me and that is the highest compliment I can give!
A million thank yous to whom ever took their time to share this historic radio broadcast.
B R A V O...!
Magnificent. Her voice at 23 has the blues of a much older person. Rivetting.
Soulful, smooth, sultry, powerful, poignant, musical talent....she's got it all.
4/20 in quarintine and finding Gems like this on the utube. Great song
Hey Marty, Smiley here just doing my time . My 1st posting in a long time but had to reply since this was the latest so far. Can you believe there are people that have no idea how Bonnie can reach your soul. We are fortunate to have lived this as our sound track. Peace ✌✌✌
Same here, Just snooping around looking for Lowell George clips. I love Bonnie, I think her voice is awesome.
It is NOT a quarantine. Those are for sick people. It IS a partial lockdown mandated by our rulers. #WalkAway
@@thublit very true
Thank you for this lil nugget on a random Friday night Bonnie!
I'm a Bonnie Raitt fan, but she is really incredible on this.
She is a pioneer!
Bonnie inspired a musical industry. You hooked to such an inspirings.
She has played to Eric Clapton and in solid musical directions. I love all these times of artists in feeding from each other. So damn beautiful.
I have always adored her voice her guitar riffs and slide are unmatched ! I was lucky enough to meet her and can honestly say she is beautiful inside and out ❣️
When she started singing, I got chills. WOW
I've liked Bonnie Raitt for years, but this is just next level. Phenomenal.
And that was her early years.
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.
I know I'm getting older, but man...they don't make it like this anymore....fantastic...
that voice is one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever heard...
Real human musicians playing real instruments in real time and Bonnie Raitt sings.
Pretty awesome!
That could well be my favorite rendition of this song. She absolutely kills it. Turn it up!
The Clapton and Stevie winwood live version is the best - but this is great too
I've seen Bonnie 3 times, 1996, 2003 and 2009. Every show was amazing.
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 CZcams compilation tonigt
not a bad way to spend the first day of the year!
Agreed. Like WHAT THE F%$#@ HAPPENED TO POP MUSIC...IT'S ALL SH%$T NOW!!!!
Just loving all these wonderful memories. Memories, memories, memories. I feel like I can't find my way home .. . and I'm 65 years old. Oops.
june 7 2020
What a year...
@@ieatlightning4236 July11, 2020 the day after I found I have exposed to COVID and now have to wait 2 days for test and 7-10 days more for results Been staying at home since March and a "home health" nurse who came to MY house exposed me You just can't make this $hit up. "I'm near the end and I don't have the time."
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.
Such a mix of styles in Little Feat. They were original.
Of course my friend. It was and is sublime. Can't make time stand still but I have the records and the experience of being there when it unfolded. For us, that is it. A man can ask no more really, than witness greatness.
ALL TRUTH, clafong9 Feat are my fave.... and I am only 38. my generational faves are surely pearl jam and dave Matthews band, but Little Feat is tops!
Feat are the best band I've heard in my life,my parents put me on to them..
Lowell was my alltime fave...but gotta give props accurately...On Your Way Down is actually a cover, written by the late great Allen Toussaint
Wow...Had forgotten just how good Bonnie is. RIP, Lowell. And Steve writing the sound.
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!
Cheers mate... from London to South Texas.
Good gracious!!! It has taken me over forty years to hear a better version than Blind Faith!
+But she does a beautiful job bringing out the druggie aspect. Artistry
I honestly can't tell if you are just trolling.
Give me a break Daryl. I posted this months ago. I am not interested in making this a project. It was merely a critique. I don't have time for trolling. Go persecute someone else.
Couldn't agree more. Absolutely my favourite version. The way she belts those peaks in the melody so they just about tear is uniquely wonderful.
so sorry it took yo 40, but hey, enjoy forever!!!
RIP Lowell George. Bonnie Raitt is one of the most under-rated slide players out there! Second only to Johnny Winter!
Is it Bonnie or Lowell sliding this
@@chunderwunderwhinger1331 You can hear that socket Lowell used... such a crisp recording.
Check out Ellen Mcilwaine version. Red headed slide
guitarist who released her version in 1972 also I think. Different style but both are memorable.
I absolutely love Bonnie!
Fell for her and her music when I was 12. Now I'm 54 and still crazy about her. ✌🌍🎵
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.
what a great night
@@richiejohnson wow
now that's funny
Too funny
Shows how the 70s were a much more mellow and spontaneous time, in many respects. Thinking about what song to play at the spot and taking as much time for tuning as needed, without any complaining from the audience.
True enough; before clip on tuners it was all done by ear. Also, the primitive gear (no boards full of stomp boxes and rack mounted effects processors) didn't cover up mistakes, which left it raw, and imbued the music with a lot more human touch/feeling... at least to my sensibilities. To be honest though, I have to admit I don't miss all that E,.A. G. D. B. E. noodling between songs.
you may think you are cool, but you will never be Bonnie Raitt 1972 cool.
I met her in 72!
jecophoto CZcams Channel that is correct!!
I DON'T WANNA BE HER
nobody had any idea.
Lowell George was super cool
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.
Bonnie sings this song beautifully.
I love BONNIE RAITT MY SISTER TURNED ME ONTO HER MISIC WHEN I WAS 15 AND IM FLYING ON 55 NOW AND STILL LOVE HER MUSIC HER SONGS TELL SO MANY LIFE STORIES THAT I HAVE MADE MY WAY THRU I LOST MY SISTER TO CANCER BUT WE NEVER LOST BONNIE AND I PLAY HER SONGS. AND SING THE WORDS TO MY SISTER WHO FOUND HER WAY HOME
Not her song. don't credit her. Steve Winwood wrote it
No one said it was her song. Just a cover. Most anyone would know. Still delightful
Great Version.
Sorry babe.
beautifully said and spoken .. my deepest condolences for your loss yep Bonnie is great without a doubt.. it just works out for her so well to cover this Blind Faith classic best wishes to you
How the hell could 1700+ people give this a thumbs down?!?
Unbelievably soulful! Have mercy, Bonnie. What a great talent.
Absolutely enjoyed Bonnie Raitt and Lowell George - Little Feat!
Would love to hear Bonnie Raitt and Steve Winwood do this together!
Why? This isn't good enough?
JOE ZIEGLER steve does a great version with his daughter Lily
Absolutely. Traffics music, Bonnies voice
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY
@@donnabrown8582 Blind Faith.
Man Bonnie’s voice just melts me….so good
Lowell George, so missed. Wonderful to hear him playing with Bonnie Raitt.
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
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!
Some voices simply have the way of telling the truth more beautifully than others. Such a voice is Bonnie. How wonderfully lucky we are to be the ears to hear her tell it.
I thank my folks for turning me on to these folx
I saw John Hammond Jr. opening for Jimi Hendrix (!) at Hunter College in March of 1968. While he was playing, his guitar strap broke. When he mentioned it to the crowd, a guitar strap came sailing through the air and landed at his feet! The show continued, he rocked the Blues, and then Jimi came out and rearranged my brain on a molecular level! By the way, I had FRONT ROW SEATS! Yes!
Playing on repeat while trying to organize my studio. Not getting very far, stopping often, getting lost in the tuning of the guitars, the obvious comradery of the group, and Bonnie Raitt' s love for and ethereal version of Cant Find My Way Home.
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
Beautiful. One of the few songs that are as great as the original
I will never understand why this beautiful talented woman never received the respect she deserved.
Because a lot of peoples respect is useless.
she did....from those that matter
I really miss Lowell George. What he could have done......
Amen. A Giant....singer, guitar slinger, songwriter
He did.
For a long time she was a musician’s musician, then she was a star, then she was an icon. Now she’s the Bonnie we all love and have loved forever. Listening to this, that voice would have made her a damn fine late night dj, too. Thank you to whoever posted this, I’m off to chase down the full session now
Have you found it? It would be amazing to watch and hear the whole thing. I'd love an mp3 of this track, this version.
czcams.com/video/1GALqVg3biE/video.html
@@NatalietheDoll MP3 is how I found this version of the song. An ex girlfriend of mine had LimeWire and found three or four different tracks from this session and burned them on CD for me. Talk about an amazing find!
We had the best music. I turned 21 in 1968
Im 21 Right now i wish i lived that era tho
And I turned 17 in 1959, and we had and still do, the very best music ever.
I love Bonnie Raitt. So soulful. Most who even think of her think of her brief period of pop success in the 80's not these early years of her genius.
This was recorded the year my future wife introduced me to Bonnie's music. We saw her live again last week... every bit the Wonder Woman she was 44 years ago. This recording with Lowell, John, Freebo has to be one of the best recordings ever!
saw bonnie "headline" at the local skating rink, april 1971. great artist.
Seeing her in May with James Taylor. So excited!
+ Jim. I agree. One of the best recordings ever. Also, I tend to think live performances are almost always better than studio recordings. Also, have you noticed that through the 70' -- 80's , performances on live radio, including Europe by all means , were something very special. They were stripped down to the bare essentials, as in one or two performers and one or two instruments. Examples are : " The Pretender and The Offender" in Holland, Carmelita, Desperados Under the Eaves and a few more by Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon and David Blue and at least one more by Lowell George where he is trying ti explain American guitar playing to the Germans , including a demonstration on how Ry Couder played. These recordings are such a rich contribution to our American culture.
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?
you have to have been around then. wait and see, . so much to learn - not enough time.
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!
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 once heard a band leader say "we tune because we care" ..........this is well worth the wait!!!
Self-quarantined in Aug 2020 with a tight throat and wet eyes from the memories. Graduated high school in '72.
oh yeah
My brother was a '72 graduate. Ainsworth High School in Flint MI.

Me too! Isn't this a gem?! I remember seeing Blind Faith play this.....
@@gabriellegallagher-mckinne435 they did it originally.
Sooo Beautiful, I cried listening to it, thanks for sharing.
I've loved the Blind Faith version for all these year and never knew this wonderful version was out there! Started looking for Angel from Montgomery and wound up here. Made my day and then some!
These are musicians....they are making real live music....they are in very short supply these days...
LOVE IT
I saw Miss Bonnie at the New Orleans Jazz Fest back in the early 1980's. With all the schlock in this world, it's not often one sees the real deal; when you do, it leaves an impression.
Love her.
***** Well now that figures, cuz' you're a survivor. Great to hear from you.
Yes, Sir.
Robert Gipson she brings tears to the eye, and i get a strange skin sensation some would call goose bumps...soul music defined...
Saw her open for Clapton in Toronto. Both came out for encore with, "Before You Accuse Me", then 'kiss,kiss'.
That's a picture of a bunch of hippies and their high school principal lmao. Thanks for sharing
I was fortunate to work as an intern at Ultrasonic when these recordings were being made there for WLIR-FM. I think we recorded these on Tuesday nights live and they went out directly over the air. They would be rebroadcast on Friday nights later in the week...
This was a time when the sound engineers of the early/mid 1960s were still working and the younger guys were coming onto the scene. John Bradley was the head engineer there. Great vibe in that studio in those days. It's hard to believe that its now fifty years later. I was just starting out in my adult life and now I am close to seventy. Wow! :)
Stlll today I enjoy playing this beautiful song with my old Friends.
Everitime we fall in a big deep feeling.
