To this day, JCY is in my opinion, is the sweetest voice in music. Uncanny control laced with strong character and a mass of raw yet nicely developed talent, this is the front-man you want in your band. Can't think of a comparable singer while his records are playing.

Youngbloods were rovolutionary , with one of the greatest singer songwriters of recent history that posseses an unbelievably soulful tenor, combining jazz , folk ,country-rock, music hall , rag time , old trad. ballads , soul , rock and rock n' roll , oh yeah and avant-garde(in the interlude "explosions" , and frank zappa would have loved that!🥁 🥁 🥁

Take all the Ozzy Osborn and Kiss, etc. ; have yourself a good old time. In 1977 I bought JCY's On The Road album and I wore a hole through it, then a few years back, my wife surprised me with the really hard to find CD version. I'm not into theatrics, I'm into music. Jesse is a great example of someone who surrounded himself with great musicians and everybody played their ass off, what a pleasure! Thanks for posting

I've always loved JCY both when he began with the Youngbloods and after that when he went solo. I saw him live back in the early 70s in San Francisco and he was great. This concert is so damn good and Jim Rothermel on saxes is part of the reason why along with the whole band that Jesse has with him. However, his voice and compositions are the major forces for his greatness, and he is one of the greatest ever.

I've seen a few concerts in my life and by far, seeing Jessie Colin Young at the Saenger Theater in Mobile, Alabama during the summer of 1976 was the absolute best concert that I ever attended. The 1920's venue with its' beautiful architecture and intimate setting and being there with someone who had as gentle a spirit as the singer made the music all the better. Chuck Leighty was a fine man; I think it's the only date we had, and I refused the other requests that he made; he was just too sweet and doting. I asked his sister-in-law how and where he was when I met her back in 2016. I don't remember what she said, likely because I didn't like what she said, and all-in-all I suppose there wasn't much I liked or trusted about her, though I did ask her to dine with me to tell her some ... things... about the ghost I couldn't see and me ... that seemed fitting due to her tie with the local priest and fact that this priest had quickly confided in me that he'd lived above a voodoo shop in New Orleans and who took to calling my young daughter Bobby Dylan. In any event, Chuck Leighty, wherever you are, thank you for this wonderful and magical night that I go back to often and the softness you brought to my otherwise hard spirit and wild soul.

Fantastic timing on the guitar and relaxed, smooth unparalleled singing, effortlessly moving between full voice and falsetto. Maybe the only other singers to compare him with would be Smokey Robinson and Kenny Loggins. Unbelievable performance here, and done so with such poise and confidence when you realize the amount of focus and concentration that it takes for a musician to perform at that level. Jesse, you are one of a kind. The kind of a voice that transports you to another place, an incredible gift to the world.

Jesse Colin Young...so fine. Touring is so hard on artists...and these days it's the only way they can make money, because the internet doesn't have a way to give them their money. They have to fight and scratch and claw just to get cents on the dollar IF the music is played on a format that actually pays artists. Now with no touring at all, artists just suffer. And, our country values money over art, so there's another issue for artists...it's no wonder so many stop playing/painting/creating/dancing althogether. Let's keep a happy thought for artists, and remind ourselves daily how much joy they bring our world. Love this guys work and art so much.
