Sam & Dave - 'When Something Is Wrong' & 'Hold On' live [Colourised] 1967

Double Dynamite with one of the best bands of all time during the Stax/Volt Revue filmed in Oslo on April 7, 1967 by NRK – the Norwegian public broadcasting corporation. I love how Dave's trying to get Duck Dunn laughing at the start of this.

Stax Records was born in Memphis in 1957. Ten years later – a decade of era-defining records from the likes of Rufus Thomas, Booker T and the MGs, Carla Thomas, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd, Albert King and more – the 1967 Stax/Volt European tour took their music across the Atlantic for the first time.

Eddie Floyd, Arthur Conley, Sam & Dave and Otis Redding were the stars and the backing band were Booker T & the M.G.s and the Mar-Keys. They had no idea what kind of reception awaited them. “They treated us like we were the Beatles or something,” guitarist Steve Cropper said later. “It pretty much overwhelmed everyone in the band. It was a total mind-blower. Hell, we were just in Memphis cutting records; we didn’t know. Then we go over there, there were hoardes of people waiting at the airport, autograph hounds and all that sort of stuff.”

I was looking forward to Dave singing his part on the classic "When something is wrong with my baby" !!!!
