This clip is incredible. The intros groove is infectious and when Susan comes in with the lead, it just blows the roof off! What a great band!

[NotusHarmonius]

This is a jazz rendition of a rock song by the 60s group, The Box Tops for whom a teen-age Alex Chilton was lead singer. The band was based in Memphis.

Once in a while I return to this gorgeous piece of music, and still can't get enough of it.

[carlolsen]

A group of supremely talented people having a great time together. To me, this is what music is all about.

[clairebear]

What I love the most is their mutual respect and how they let the other shine at precisely the right moment.

I appreciate all the comments made on this video even some that are extremely negative on my part.The band had played a 45 minutes before Susan and Derek and others sat in so I thought it was appropiate to introduce members sorry if that made you uncomfortable and So you know this old guy played with Joe Cocker since 1969 at Woodstock with the Grease Band and also Mad Dogs anf Englishmen in 1970 That's why we played this song. In 2015 Derek and Susan invited members of Mad Dogs to perform at Lockin festival in Lynchberg Va as a tribute to Joe Leon Russell Rita Coolidge, Chris Stainton Dan and Matt Moore Claudia Lennear, Chuck Blackwell It was a step back in time that was very emotional. That was the 1st time ever meeting Susan and Derek being the sweetest people you'll ever want including band members to meet they are my friends forever

Now more than ever, with the COVID pandemic, watching performances like this make me smile and wish I was there. It's amazing how we took social gatherings like this for granted in the past. People are screaming for days like these again. Bravo.

[victorrodea]

Susan and Derek always make me smile with their obvious musicianship. No disrespect to the other musicians

[jeffreysiegel]

They rocked the roof off of that one!!! Amazing vocals...Wow!!! Thank you for posting this incredible number🙏🍄🌈☮

To all my current subscribers and new subscribers, thank you so much for watching. Thank you for your comments. I hope that you and your families are well. My heart goes out to you as I know each of us have been touched by this Pandemic. Today I had a conference call with exceptional artists from around the world.We discussed the issues that is needed to create an outlet to perform our craft to uplift and inspire our audiences to ensure that artists get paid to entertain their work We would like to know if you would like to see this channel featuring a variety of entertainment such as music theater, dance and other art forms. With over 50 years of entertainment experience I have access to a multitude of high caliber artists and the artists that I was talking to today also have access to a multitude of artists from whole over the world in their respective genres.Obviously now there are no venues for audiences except Youtube to express their craft.Ideally this channel would be funded through Sponsorships and grants. Would you support a variety show of entertainment by watching ? Please let me know

I loved the introductions..., made me feel like I was at the concert! Great to watch Susan try not to take the mic..., and when she was coaxed into doing so, by the other musicians... WOW!

[saradenise]

I love you Susan... Hope the kids and everyone are well!!

[BobbyTorresEnsemble]

Thanks for showing this to your son I have my daughter and son playing with me we played for 45 minutes prior and I wanted to introduce my musicians who have played with me for over 10 years which many objected to so I am grateful and appreciative by your comments
