Judge wood пишет: @probinson1337 I took a horn speaker, took the "nose" off of it. The end that was left was just right for a piece of hose to slip on. It worked great. ALL the sound would go through your mouth. It was neat as hell. Feed the hose up to the mic, bingo, talk box.

Rick Tucker пишет: It was in '77 when I first heard this. I have a really old and, now, bad sounding cassette of the album and keep hoping someone will rerelease it on compact disc or album.

notnecessaryforme пишет: Capricorn records shut down before they could take off. They had previously signed the Allman Brothers Band, and unfortunately Stillwater did not get the promotion they so richly deserved. Great guys, all of them. My parents and aunts and uncles knew them very well. One of my uncles worked for him, his nickname is Teddy Bear.

RichardScott1958 пишет: No, this band was a one-it wonder with this song. Nothing to do with the Almost Famous fictional band. My band Icarus opened for them at the Stone Toad club in Hattiesburg, Mississippi way back when this song was on the radio in the Southeast. .

djfizzywhite пишет: Buy the "G" hits. They where the real deal.

smackdaddyken пишет: I interviewed these guys at Thunder's Tavern in Pascagoula....gosh I was so stoned....lol

ToxiMoron пишет: Awesome...those talk boxes are so cool!

wkat950 пишет: Uncle Sam's was a heck of a club back in the day. Commissioner Joe Allen (Bibb County) used to hang out there. He said the girls there wouldn't kiss him ever since he revived a dog using mouth-to-mouth while a fireman in Macon. Mike Causey of Stillwater used to be an account executive for the old WPEZ-FM 107.9 in Macon; I interviewed with him but didn't know he was with S'water. I am still wondering how they got the guitar to work like a Sonovox (a device used for old radio jingles).

Debbie Tucker пишет: @whizzkid58 all I know is Sebe was the main singer.

tony18144 пишет: Not true. Grew up with these guys.

krz0188 пишет: I saw them in Macon Too. At a street dance or at the park for Summer of Love in the 80s Where are they from??

Travis Denning пишет: @kidkongdw Jimmy Hall of Wet Willie did play with Stillwater.

N Holt пишет: You're welcome I'm glad I could help you out.

Max Loebman пишет: this isn't the band from almost famous. they were given permission to use the name but it's not the same band.

Fazer Scherzy пишет: @poidog77 it is a shame.

MrRoadtramp38 пишет: As Always, Amazing...;)

Mel Lockaby пишет: Back in my younger days, I played in a band and we won a rock jamboree competition playing this tune (1976). Had a BLAST!!! Will never forget it.

kidkongdw пишет: @mrrontastic - not

mrrontastic пишет: is this r is this not the band from almost famous\r


thisisntmyceiling пишет: ......Google man...Google.

Debbie Tucker пишет: @toonzz5215 I use to live around them in the 70s. They played in the bar I worked in many times. I think they get together once a year and play, or they use to. They were a great bunch of guys, always nice.

MASAI97 пишет: Jason Lee!

tinatison63 пишет: Yes I remember Doc Holiday, CarpetBaggers, all them.

SmileFXCanada пишет: @nholt Not entirely true - Cameron Crowe based the story on his real experiences covering bands when very young - and he did cover the real Stillwater amongst others like Poco, Allmans, Zeppelin. So the story in Almost Famous is a compilation of bands, including one would assume Stillwater.

pjautuvas пишет: Almost Famous - that movie is great. \r
\r
This is amazing song and has nothing to do with that movie though.

Mygrassisblue01 пишет: saw them live at an outdoor summer musical festival in Ashland Virginia back in 1976

TheBigWimp пишет: cool


mudspud01 пишет: I feel bad for only knowing this band becouse of almost famous but fuck it that movie was the shit and this band is the SHIT!!!!!!

nate smith пишет: I think you mean talk box completely different thing

rightattheunicorn пишет: @kidkongdw yes it is

JKroger100 пишет: Just convert the songs from YouTube to MP3 to CD. Easy.

masterlock Dillard пишет: A Grade Excellent Tune!

statman7 пишет: Nope, Warner Robins, GA. Also, to the other mis-informed, Jimmy Hall was not the same one from Wet Willie, 2 different guys. Sebie Lacey sang lead on this one with Rob Walker on lead guitar with the talkbox.

77dragonslayer пишет: thanks for the video!! I remember this song when I was 13 yrs old

Sid Palmer пишет: this is response to Stillwater and Almost Famous-- Stillwater is still together and performing. They are on FB and MySpace and in my friends list. Wish they could have one more big run.\r


truerockynorth пишет: Almost Famous wasn't about this band. The name is a coincidence. But the original band was extremely talented nonetheless and this song is one of my all time favourites. The fictitious band Stillwater from Almost Famous was also pretty cool- however their music was made for the movie only.

saganhill пишет: @CoastGuardIDC They were popular up here in Michigan also. Our local AOR rock station played them all the time, especially this song MindBender.

utubesux1ful пишет: Mike Causey was eating at the same place i was last night. Friends with Al but have not met him before.

Bob Stinson пишет: Yah I remember Doc Holiday. Use to see all the boys play at The Duckbreaths Salon in the big WR! Steve Mariott played there as well. My boy's "Messendger Band" did quite a few shows themselves. We opened for Stillwater down at a couple miltary bases in Florida.

1robbiewhite пишет: @cyberties YOU NEED MORE FACTS .The band did and stil dose exist in MACON GA.Check the real wb site
.Where do you think most southern Rock CAME FROME!!!!!!!!!!!

Bag 5 пишет: @mrrontastic From my best recollection the movie almost famous was base on this band

ajs1031 пишет: Dude, you just made my day. I haven't heard this song since the early '80s. Man, that sound is still sweet.
+5 internetz with a laurel, and hearty handshake.

HooptieHamburger пишет: I'm really glad I discovered this band. I saw Almost Famous on T.V. last week and decided to look up Stillwater on YouTube. As it turns out, the band in the movie was fictitious, but searching for them led me to the real band called Stillwater. They apparently weren't all that famous, but they were an awesome band.

Keith Renfroe пишет: I mixed sound for these guys in 1980 in Tallahassee Fl.\r
Still one of my favorite bands of all time.

MySickThingsOfHell пишет: Great live show with Robin Trower and Rick Derringer ...... 70's killed.

phspixie пишет: this band never played fever dog, that song was written by peter frampton specifically for the fictitious band in almost famous

migiteoac пишет: Awesome music: i learned it from the Almost famous movie "Stillwater" band i know From NOT the movie but still i wanted to check it out see if it was real nice sounds


peith kichards пишет: alfred lagarde (the famous dj player of the 80/90 from holland) made me notice this superb song on his famous "beton uur" or "concrete hour". alfred 's not longer among the living, but he still sounds on in this song. i hope god have his heart, though he did a lot of bad things in the name of the lord, and he knows.

Melanie Angel пишет: Back in the late 70s my dad was a travelling salesman. We were in Atlanta at a Holiday Inn, and my dad took me to the pool. I was probably 7. This bearded guy started talking to me and my dad. It was Mike Causey. He told us he was in a band called Stillwater. Dad took me to a record store the next day and bought me the Stillwater album. That was my introduction to the band. I still have the album, and still love it.

whizzkid58 пишет: \r
Jimmy Hall - percussion/vocals (not the same Jimmy Hall that played in Wet Willie.)\r


steven smith пишет: NO NO NO,it was not the SAME Jimmy Hall!There's two(2),NOT THE SAME JIMMY HALL!!!One is in stillwater,the other in wet willie,they are friends,and two separate men.Thank you!\r


davide wright пишет: Just in case anyone is interested in a little more trivia Jimmy Hall the lead singer for stillwater was also the lead singer for a slightly more successful southern rock band called WET WILLIY!!

Ann Corbett пишет: wooooooooo!!! Haven't this song in ages!!! I'm a swamper and DO remember this one!! Thank you for sharing it!!!!!!!

this song sucks it hard! i love classic rock, but this band is horrible.

jefff4750 пишет: I saw this band in central ny state and from what i can, um, remember, they were GREAT.!!!Makes me think of a Les Paul with a Strat neck for some reason....

Terry Martin пишет: The movie, "Almost Famous" is an insult to this band. Stillwater didn't have anything to do with any of the songs from that film. The band in the film were actors. This song is from the real Stillwater.

HeadmasterPrime5 пишет: I have a Fender my friend has a Gibson. We sat and watched as my Fender raped his Gibson and gave birth to the Mind-Bender.

karnakun пишет: @truerockynorth Bobby Golden from Stillwater says: "I lived and worked in Italy when I received a part of the rights paid by Dreamworks to Stillwater to have used the name of Stillwater in the film "Almost Famous". After having called at house to know why I touched these rights, I discovered that the company of Steven Spielberg, Dreamworks, had contacted Sebie Lacey, our singer to establish a deal concerning the use of the name.
