I'm a former lead singer/rhythm guitar player whose band opened for Elvin Bishop in the late 70's and I can tell you that Mickey Thomas has a bulletproof voice and sounded like this every time he took the stage. Love your videos. Rock on my brother... 👍

[NuclearGrizzly]

Who else remember being a kid and staying up late to see The Midnight Special or Don Kirshner's Rock Concert?

[ToddGilmore]

Not only was Mickey one of the best blues/rock vocalists ever, he could rock a bell-bottom jumpsuit like few can.

[johntegan]

Mickey Thomas gives one of the best live performances I've ever seen!

[dmt]

The smile on your face while you listen to Mickey sing says it all. No breakdown necessary!

[asphaltcowboy]

One of the best live vocal performances .

[johnhawkins]

Can't take my eyes off Reni Slais, wow how cool is she!

[Jamesharris-lonn]

Holy smokes can this guy sing! I remember hearing Jane on the radio when it was first released and being blown away by Mickey's voice. Effortless flawless vibrato, incredible range....one of the best ever in my opinion.

Mickey Thomas is an underrated, fantastic singer!!

[logan_e]

Mickey is such a genuine and humble man, I'm a nobody right but got to meet him and he's one of the nicest people I've ever known, he made _me_ feel included and like what I said was really important! I'll never forget the time!

Students of music have been studying this clip for decades and most note it as being almost perfect for delivery, timing, pitch, technical accuracy, tone and creative artistry. Brilliant in every way.

[donna]

I love his backup singer. She is incredible

Can we just all go back to this time...
Music was so much better..hell everything was better..

[rickbarton]

This was one of those songs back then that got a ton of airplay but you never got tired of it. Another one was "Taking it to the Streets" by the Doobie Brothers. Damn the 70's were great! Heck of a time to be a teenager.

[jimifiano]

I recently did a gig opening for Micky T and he still sings his butt off !!

[marcodebarkingville]

Has there ever been a better live capture of a vocalist in a moment in time singing the best he will ever sing.

[whirlyn]

The Backup singer is Reni Slais. Love your channel.

[USAMontanan]

I had a big crush on the female backup singer when I first saw this show back then! And I still do!

[Xplantdad]

Mickey Thomas' effortless vocals....wow!

[DiamondDave]

Elvin is a journeyman blues legend.
He was never known for his singing
It’s also a career-moment where the stars aligned
Having Jefferson Starship vocalist, Mickey Thomas, makes the song
A rare song where everything works, giving Bishop his only major chart highlight
