Savoy Brown – Live At The Bottom Line 1976

The Bottom Line, New York – June 2, 1976

Also available as « Walkin’ And Talkin’ », a factory pressed CD:

Hallmark HM 003 CD (Europe 1990)

The band pictured on the artwork of the Hallmark CD is the 1968-1969-1970 lineup of Roger Earl, Kim Simmonds, Chris Youlden, Tone Stevens and Dave Peverett.

Actual lineup:

 

Kim Simmonds – Guitar,  Vocals

Paul Raymond - Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals

Ian Ellis - Bass

Tommy Farnell - Drums

 

This was the “Skin ‘n’ Bone” tour. Paul Raymond is really out front with Kim Simmonds at this point, sharing the lead vocals and playing some great organ. Kim, as usual delivers some spectacular guitar, but also some excellent harmonica work.

Not available in stores - FM Broadcast

Track #5 “Memory Pain” (a Percy Mayfield song) is mistitled “Deserves Me Right To Suffer”, mistaken for John Lee Hooker’s “It Serves Me Right To Suffer” (which in turn was the direct inspiration for Mayfield’s song).

One of the few live recordings by the Boogie Brothers lineup.

In 1971, Kim Simmonds “stole” Andy Silvester, Paul Raymond and Dave Bidwell from Stan Webb’s band Chicken Shack to include them in his new Savoy Brown lineup. Three years later, in 1974, it was Stan Webb’s turn to join Savoy Brown for their Boogie Brothers LP. But at that time, all three previously “stolen” musicians had left. Full circle!

Pete “Scott” Ainsworth was Savoy Brown’s lead vocalist “between” Dave Peverett and Dave Walker (December 1970-April 1971). No studio tracks with him exist, but here we have, among others, an early live version of “Street Corner Talking” which would later be re-recorded in the studio with Dave Walker on vocals and be the opening track of their eponymous LP in 1971.

Earlier, Pete Ainsworth was the lead singer of Haydock’s Rockhouse, the band formed by Eric Haydock, former bass player of The Hollies, and later he was also the lead singer of Beggar’s Opera.

Paul Raymond’s keyboards are heavily featured.

Savoy Brown – Fillmore West 1970

Fillmore West, San Francisco – 1970-12-03

Chris Youlden (vocals)

Kim Simmonds (guitar)

Tone Stevens (bass)

“Lonesome” Dave Peverett (guitar, vocals)

Roger Earl (drums)

Chris Youlden isn’t mentioned in most articles about this performance. But he’s clearly to be heard, so I have my doubts about the date being December 3, as Youlden left the band in May 1970. As it’s labelled “12-03”, it’s possibly March 12, 1970. But they did perform there on December 3, 1970 though. More info welcome.
