Well guys, here's the scoop as best as I can piece together about T.R. shows. I followed up a Mean-Jean report of a recent T.R. live date at THE JOINT, in Los Angeles. I called The Joint & on it's tape message it stated that on December 4th the Jack Tempc in Band played, comprising of Waddy Wachtel, Rick-the-bass-player, Phil Jones, Bernard Fowler AND TERRY REID. It was a free show. The pissy thing about this announcement is that this same band (Jack Tempchin Band) was frequently mentioned on prior listings of shows when i'd call & listen to the upcoming-show-tape. They seemed to have a monday night residency at the club. However, the members of this band had never been mentioned on the tape mes age until recently. I guess those reports of T.R. frequently out & about in L.A. were quite accurate. Evidently one had to be an "insider" to a closely held secret to be aware. Anyway, the phone number of THE JOINT is 310-275-2619. You'll get a tape message, tho there's a chance of finally hearing T.R. Y2K. Good Luck Mates. Oh Santa, Can I have a ticket to Los Angeles for Christmas????????

Glad to hear Terry is alive and well and resurging. I originally purchased Terry on vinyl and wore out 2 copies of The River. Glad to hear it is available on import. The Terry Reid project featuring Mick Taylor and Brian Auger sounds like ablast. I last saw Brain Auger and the Oblivion Express at Austin's now defunct Armadillo World Headquarters in the mid 70's. Nice site! Good info.

I was delighted to find this site! Terry Reid's early albums just knocked me out - at a time when fabulous music was coming out almost daily, he did stand out. He really should have been hugely popular but I think he unfortunately got lost in the crowd so did Jackie Lomax!) But for what it's worth, I noticed, I bought the records, and I cared. Terry's music still holds up and I think your site is a great tribute to him and your own great musical taste! :-)

´m german, 51 year old guitarplayer. Saw Terry Reid in ´69 on german tv (beat club radio bremen). He played "Rich Kid Blues", "Superlungs" and some "highway"-jam. Still today have very bad sounding tape recording, recorded from tapped tv-speaker, but never knew who that was. Finally found out today, after more than 31 years. Trying to get the record with these songs. Uli Rohde, Heidelberg

I first saw TR at oxford town hall in 1967, he opened with savoy brown and jethro tull.I have been a fan ever since watching him perform at various places in the south of england. The highlight was the plumpton festival performance when he appeared with l e miles, soko richardson & dave linley(furry hat day). I would be great to see him perform live again. even a recording would be better than nothing.

Can't tell you how much this means to me.From the first time I saw terry opening for the stones in '69 in Oakland, to yesterday driving and listening to my favorites of his on tapes made over the years, I always thought I was the only one remembering him. Good on you for doing this. p.s. I would give anything for a copy of the original tape/demo of "Things to Try" which was played only for a short while in he early 70's on the original KSAN in San Francisco. I believe it was superior to the stunning version that appeared on "River" Any response would be welcome. Bless you, whoever you are... cw

oy laddies, since i drop in every few months, i thought i'd impart this wee bit o trivia on ya all. There was a cover of "Tinker Tailor" released in 1968-69 by the Jamie Lyons Group. Jamie was the lead singer of the "Music Explosion" a mid-west group w a one-hit wond r called "little bit of soul". The cover is very bubblegum-pop so quite bland compared to the origional. Oh, & since i'm playing "memory lane",is there anyone on this list who has any recollection of Terry playing at Mick & Bianca's wedding reception? Ho did he get the gig? Lastly, it was about this time of year in 1978, i was working at CBGB's at the door & the Plasmatics were playing. A long-haired gent in a full length fur coat enters, he looks very familiar & tho i go wacky trying to place the face i couldn't. It wasn' till the following day that i decide that it had to have been Terry Reid who entered the club the prior night. Well, was that you Terry? (as if he really reads this guestbook--not) I regret not having been sharp enuf to have known & "comp'd" you. I o e you your admission fee---with interest.. Sad to say that my occasional phone calls to los angeles to "the joint" have not turned up any live dates by terry. Does he play there on an unannounced basis?

Been a fan ever since I saw Terry, along with the Moody Blues, open for Cream in Baltimore on the farewell tour. I was so impressed with his performance, I made it a point to pick up Bang Bang, You're Terry Reid the very next day. I picked up every one o his releases on vinyl as they were released and I'm proud to say that I have the whole catalogue on cd now! Heard a rumour that he was in the process of recording a new album awhile back, and I was wondering what the status of that is. It's been a bit ince his last one! I'm now preparing to replace my two Terry Reid cds on BGO with the remastered ones from Repetoire as I've heard they're sonically superior!

I've loved Terry's artistry since I saw him with Lee Miles and Soko Richardson at the Marquee just after River came out. I was just simply done in, a brilliant gig, pure shining clean quality...and still I think that the first side of River is one of the reatest twenty minutes of music available, and I can't understand how so many critics call the album so-so, not quite there etc. I like Seed Of Memory too but for real close-to feel, the combination of that rhythm section with Terry's voice and Lindley's eads is just plain spiritual. I am amazed that people can be so deaf as to miss it. Well, too many people missed too much of Reid. I was working for a pop paper at the time and had interviewed Terry (unfortunately before the gig, which raised a whole bunch of new questions) - I think at Keith Altham's place in Denmark Street - my memory is he'd just had some trouble with a car accide t. He was playing the general what-me-worry rapscallion but after a short while talking I was struck by what a decent feeling bloke. Too true for his own good I thought. I remember him saying the thing he was proudest of on the album was the multi-layered harmonies. I still play the records with great delight and affection. And if there's all these demos and stuff resulting from California I would be so happy to hear them. In fact I'm angry that I haven't. So Terry Reid please forward me a tape or two! Yes! I am a ma or recording artist down on my uppers and you can revitalise my wobbling career! AND you're almost a fen tiger so we have geography on our side! Send me an email! Claim a free cup of tea in Ely. In all seriousness I am in favour of anything that lets people know more about this fine and lovely singer and the work he's done and I hope will do. So well done on the website. Keep it up.

Nice to read some stuff about Terry. I saw him play in Manchester in about 69, he was great then, but in the seventies I thought the River was superb (disagree a bit with you on that). I've just found it on cd and listened to it for the first time since 1 75 and it's still great. The funky tracks are a bit dated now (Ry Cooder/Little Feat era) but the slow more jazzy tracks are still unique, some hints of Tim Buckley, which can't be bad. Terry's voice is brilliant and so's the guitar track. I play a bit an write a few songs myself and have only just realised how much Terry Reid's influence has stuck with me, even though I hadn't realised it. bye

I'm so pleased to find out that I'm not the only one who thinks Terry Reid had the best set of pipes in the business. It's a testament to his talents (IMO) that I only saw him once when he opened for Cream on their goodbye tour and that 32 years later I c n still remember how impressed I was. Hey folks, anybody who stands out vocally at a concert featuring Jack Bruce is something to reckon with. Anyway, I would dearly love to see him again live. Hopefully with a talented band that would allow him to use that incredible voice of his to it's best advantage. TR can sing blues, rock, soul and r&b as well as anybody I've ever heard. Hope to see you so eday soon. Sincerely, A Fan after 32 years.

This is a great site. I have been a fan for many years and still listen to all of Terry's music. I am lucky to have all of the albums and they are in great shape so It's always a pleasure. I saw Terry only one time,when he was opening for The Stones I thi k in 1969. Ike and Tina turner were also alternating opening the show and BB King was on the bill as well. I had to make sure that Terry was the opening act for the show we went to. It was in Baltimore at the old Civic Center. I missed him in DC by one da back in 1980,oh well. It's good to know that I am not the only person that thinks Terry Reid did and still does have one of the most powerful voices in rock. Still gives me shivers.

Hey All, Just a "quick one" to let ya know that there exists a TERRY REID--LIVE CD. A bootleg, I presume,that's a compilation of 12 tracks recorded between 1969-1976. Quality is good, 3 tracks source from the KSAN radio broadcast. Looks like it was released in 19 5 and nicely documents "da man" get'n down 'n greasy.......... I recently came upon a recording of Steve Marriott doing "Stay With Me Baby". Suprisingly enough Steve stayed pretty true to the origional & in fact held himself back on this recording, staying true to his "Steve Marriott Soul Revue" style. I'd have tho ght that if there was anyone to challenge Terry's "ownership" of that song it'd have been Marriott........ Does anyone know the venue for the concert footage used in the film "Groupies"?.... Lastly, should Terry start a weekly residency in Los Angeles, would someone please notify me. Thanks to you all for keeping him in your hearts & on your stereos.

I first heard about Terry Reid from Donovan - oh, a hundred years or so ago. Anyway, I was in high school at the time. Terry's music was unlike any other at that time. His riff's and vocals showed a unique style of both jazz, blues, and hard rock. I am now a Mother of two teenagers. My son (18) plays guitar and sings for fun. One day I was playing "Bang Bang" and my son went nuts. He is now a huge fan and has taken over my complete Terry Reid collection. The Driver is an everyday favorite. I managed to get it back from my son, because he knows that I listen to it when I work on my web pages. My love to Terry. Please tell him that his music will always be part of my life. Patti

Awesome... I guess it's too typical to say, I thought I was alone... so nice to know I'm not! Was first acquainted with Terry's raw talent when I still lived in New York, 1969... Saw him live at Ungano's... (Does he remember the Vagrants, and Mountain? I was a *blush* groupie, then...) Terry's spirit was and still is wild, though he appears to have mellowed, quite sweetly, with age... If I ever manage to get my own CD produced, he would be the one I'd love to have on board... Need to go now, and explore the rest of the site. Thank you, thank you thank you, this is a good thing. Tiger

I've been a fan since Bang Bang.... I am always searching for a new release. I keep at least one Terry Reid CD in the car at all times. Recently found a near mint vinyl of 'River' and am anxiously waiting for it's arrival and take it into the studio to bu n a CD for my Cruiser since I cant find on CD. I still love the rockers but songs like May Fly, July, Erika or is it Erica, really show of Terry's dynamic and emotional vocal power. Erica is most overwhelming, nd I promise, someday, I'll remember how to s ell it. if it is any incentive, I will purchase any new music from Terry. I wish all I had to do is dream and a new Terry Reid CD would appear on my doorstep. So Terry, if youre out there, thanks for the years of entertainment your music has given me. Keep it up

I bought "The Most of Terry Reid" hundreds of years ago when I was a youngster, and it still ranks as one of my all time favourites. I've just ordered it on CD (having previously been aware it existed) as "Terry Reid". Coming from Terry's home-town area, I remember a big buzz about him in the late sixties-early seventies. Unfortunately I was a little too young to attend any of his Cambridgeshire concerts (I remember my big brother did), but would certainly make effort where he ever to return to the UK (un ess I'm too old by then).

Thank you for this site. I've been a fan of Tery Reid since 1970 and clearly remember purchasing River when it hit the shops. Unfortunately I've never seen him live. I do remember in the distant past seeing a clip from the Glastonbury film when Dean was p ayed behind some general shots of the site etc. I love the Driver and it now seems that you can get a CD of River from CD Now etc. although its quite expensive as it's a Japanese import.

First saw Terry when he opened at Cream’s farewell concert, Madison Sq. Garden, all those years ago. Have a distant photo of him in his long leather coat from this show. Love at first sight/listen. Sat real close at small upper westside NYC club, Ungano’s, a few times in early 70s. The voice!!! The look!!! Lost track of him after the first two albums which I recently replaced as CDs. Clueless as to why such talent went unheralded. Only Scott Muny (WNEW-FM) gave him any airplay in NY. Unaware of the interim albums, then came The Driver, and then...A dream came true when I shook his hand when he played the Bottom Line (Greenwich Village club) a few years ago, but was too awestruck to carry on a conversation. The voice still there, but the show was a bit uneven. What’s my favorite? Rich Kid Blues, July, Stay With Me Baby, Season of the Witch... Too many to list. Waiting for him to resurface

I was working, for studio time (that I never got, incidentally) doing carpentry at the Silvery Moon Studios on La Cienega Blvd., in West Hollywood You came there one day, and I gave you a short tour. You were living with a woman named Lynn (very pretty, she was) near the Leo Carillo State Beach in Oxnard. I used to visit you occasionally, and we used to jam/hang out.

Thank-U for constructing this hallowed place in cyberdom.I was disappointed that the other chap who built the first T.R. site,evidently abandoned it.(However, it's not like there has been a storm of activity on the T.R. front to support it's maintainance ad to say. This,despite the large amount of Terry-trivia I once supplied him) Oh well.................... Nevertheless, this is,indeed,a wonderful way of remembering the greatest living (& most influential) rock singer in the industry. Terry is & has always been a singer's singer. More than a singer-songwriter with guitar chops, T.R.'s strength lies in his unique, at least for rock'n roll, talent as a song stylist. Not unlike the pop(saloon) singers of Sinatra's heyday, Terry's approach & interpretation of others' material re-created it & in some cases lent it it's definative recording. Terry Reid does ot do "cover songs"!!!!!!! Terry's arrrangements of songs,obscure or classic, set his material aspin on a different axis entirely. This, I suspect may be, in part, why it's been so hard for T. Simply put, he's been too damn good for his own good. Which explains why Kevin Cronin, Robin Zander, Mellencamp, Steve Perry,Eddie Money and most anyone who ever aspired to more than yodelin in the loo, looked upon T.R as "da man". (at this point can I state my belief that Sting owes T.R. a great, unacknowledged,debt in that he has always sounded like he lived & breathed Terry Reid) T.R. doing his idea of an Ella-esque "Songbook"would be sublime. My thanks to those of you who have already posted messages for keeping the faith. And to you Terry Reid, after 30+ years, you continue to bring shivers to my skin & tears to my eyes. Rick

I,ve had 3 copies of Bang Bang on album, 2 8 tract tapes and finally the c.d. We played most of this album in my band in 69 & 70. I make it a point to turn folks on to t.r. still. "Without Expression" Wow, I still get chills when I here it - 32 years later. The Driver was great too. What's next. I was at Atlanta Pop Festival in 70 but missed T.R. Didnt see him live till 76 at Ball room across from Fox in Atlanta . A friend of mine and our two Extremely pregnant wives sat on the front row. My buddies wife fell asleep and T.R. just laughed. Donovan played a couple of tunes with T.R. that night, it was wonderful. Laugh at life!! Jean Norton nortonlandsurvey@aol.com

How did you find the site ?: Surfing for Terry Reid

Comments:
I guess that as Holly Reid has guested on this site that Terry knows that it's here. Can you believe it Terry, after all these years, all these fans have only incredible praise for you? I for one can't believe that you came back with something so good as Driver" What happened to it? Crap marketing! I'm listening to it now and am so pleased that it didn't end back in the 60's with the "Terry Reid " album. This is really a great album Terry & should have done more.Well, Holly sounds great, hope my kids grow up with the same love & respect for their old man. Do some more Terry, no one does it lke you. Take a long hard look at this web site, Terry & you'll see just how many people love what you did and are waiting for what you can do. You know I'm right, so... .. P.S. In case you're interested, I first heard you at Delane Lee Studios in London, where a guy who worked there said "listen to this guy, he'll blow Rod Stewart away" & you did mate! to all of us that surf this site. I'd travel the world to see you play again. Try me. .. Try us, your fans. Holly, You've found the site, Shake your old man, get him up & rocking, I need it, I'm sure we all do. It's about time you asserted yourself Terry & blew them all away!

I discovered Terry when he opened (along with the Moody Blues) for Cream in Baltimore on the farewell tour. Cream was way late and Terry was asked to do a second set to fill the time.....he apologized to the audience because they had already played all t eir material. Then they repeated the first set. It sounded better the second time around....they rocked the house!

Wow, a Terry Reid website !!! I was just recording my old Terry Reid vinyl records to mini-disk so that I could copy them onto my laptop in mp3 format and cut a CD to listen to in the car ... when I thought, why don't I have a look on the web for any Terry Reid stuff and there it was, brilliant. I have only read the intro so far; joined the mailing list; signed the guest book and added a few comments below ... When I was 15 I went to a Jethro Tull Concert in Manchester at the Free Trade Hall. The gig featured 3 bands in one night. The band in the second spot was Savoy Brown ... but the band that knocked me out, the first live band I ever saw (since they were on first) was Terry Reid with his drummer and organist. I bought the album 'Terry Reid' that week. My heart skipped a beat when I read 6 albums, I've only got 5, but then I remembered 'Driver' is a CD (relief). I was at University in Bath the time that 'River' came out and I had ordered it at a local record shop. I must have gone in there every week for 6 months before the damn thing was finally released. Happy memories! but what a record, it was worth every min te of the wait. I recently cut 2 CDs of my favourite music for an old girlfriend who lives in Venezuela now. I only put some really good recent stuff from CDs on because they only seem to get US chart and Latin American disco music there. I put on Randy Newman, Elvis Cos ello, Peter Gabriel, John McLaughlin, Jeff Beck and lots of really emotive tracks ... I put 'Hand of Dimes' on from Driver. She's coming home to England soon (whoo hoo) probably all down to Terry ... hehe. I must get all this website read ... Yup I saw Terry interviewed by Bomber Bob Harris on the Old Grey Whistle Test and I taped it on a reel to reel somewhere ... Boy the only thing that's been keeping me going in this life is that one day I would eventually find out what the words are to 'July' and 'Mayfly'. They must be my 2 favourite tracks of all time. Well that's all for now ... I'll read the whole web site tonight, word by precious word, thank you ... and if you see Terry, give him my best regards. Bye.

About time T.R. got a decent site.I've been logging onto the other one for a couple of years waiting for something to happen. Anyway,I first came across the mans music in about 1973.My best mate's girlfriend had the album "Most of Terrry Reid" (a re-issue of the Terry Reid album)and it just blew me away.The only track on it I knew was "Friends",but I think the version I knew was probably a single released by someone else. I finally got to see him at "The Venue" in Victoria on my birthday -Jan 21- but I'm not sure if it was my 18th ('75) or 21st ('78).The man was just brilliant. I've got the 7" single of "Fifth of july" (WEA-YZ579)which has a track called "cindy" as the B-side which isn't on the c.d.single.I'll have to go & play it when I've finished this,i don't think i've played this since i bought it! I've got a copy of Glastonbury on video.If anyone wants a copy of it let me know.The quality's not guaranteed though. Keep up the good work!

nice site ...my first exposure to mr reid came when i picked up a copy of 'river' in a junk shop with absolutely no idea of who he was. (found another a year later which i gave to my girlfriend). the second side of that album is IMHO up there with the bes of messrs Buckley, Drake and Martyn and it leaves me drained every time i listen. The other albums I've picked up along the way have never connected with me in the same way (tho parts of Seed of memory and Rogue Waves come close), and I didn't care much or the Driver at all. But a great voice, and to call him underrated doesn't begin to cover it...

I feel so sad for Terry - So many near misses - So much talent unshared with the world. What more can I say, if you've heard his music, if you've followed him for 25 years (off & on)as I have, you'll know what I mean. How about one last chance Terry? Re release "Whole of the moon" I bet it'd make #1 with some good air time.

Excellent work, Keith!- Terry has been neglected as a major artist for far too long- hopefully this site will start a bit of a ball rolling, and with a bit of our 'old git' power thrown in for good measure, T.R. will get another place in the spotlight for a while. (Perhaps someone ought to try to get him a spot on 'Later with Jools Holland' (BBC)...?) I've just watched the Glastonbury performance on an old video- it's great to see the man in action- he's got a percussionist with him as well, by the way- (Willie Bobo?) and for those who care about these things, Terry is playing a Telecaster. (I also noted the presence of men in the audience with beards so long they would be a hazard in high winds- and yes, it does look like half a sheep, but I'm not sure which half...) In response to the lack of availability of 'River', I managed to get a copy via the net from 'Amazon' in America- although I doubt the veracity of the Japanese lyric transcriber..."Am I to follow when life seems mellow by some....gloom" etc. You will also find a wine fuelled review of said album on the Amazon site by yours truly- why not do the same?

I was fond of hitchhiking in the 60's, of course before Charlie Manson's little So. Cal. debacle, it was easy to get a ride..Country Joe headlining, what the hell, a psychedelic icon here, why not? Not a clue who this Terry Reid cat is, oh well..A couple ours later, I'm in a "forget the Fish, let this guy go for another set, please"..His trio put out a whole lotta sound and that voice, Jesus, I'll never forget it. I hope in the midst of this blues revival, Terry finds a kickass band and lets it fly again. He'd be a standout..Go for it, my brutha..Country who? and the Fish..

When I first saw TR it was the Fillmore West opening (and closing) for Ten Years After. In the 90's I saw him at one show at the Coconut Teazer in Hollywood and Mick Taylor and Lee Miles were around. He did a strange version of "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman"! Last time was with an all-star band with Joe Walsh and Ian McLagen but he only soloed on about three songs. Great band though-I always wished they recorded something but they seemed like they were having too

All right! Finally a Terry Reid site. I kept meaning to do one but ... First saw Terry at the Miami Pop Festival back in the day. We all went out and got his two albums the next day. Saw him again at the second Atlanta fest (with David Lindley). Both killer shows. Flash forward 30 years to Coconut Teaser's, a hole on L.A.'s Sunset Strip. There was Terry Reid of all people. I asked him about those festivals and every time his response was something like "Don't really remember that one, mate, we were really blasted." He played a shaky show that night, ended with Simon and Garfunkel's "Old Friends." Very touching. A few months later he showed up with Joe Walsh's backup band and torched the place. Rock and roll never forgets.

I think Terry Reid should appear on the Simpsons singing "May Fly". I am sure Marge's sisters must have been huge fans of his. I've been a long time fan - and, I agree that the Driver needs to be re-issued. It's wonderful! My favorite are "If you Let Her" and "There's Nothing Wrong" - wow - his voice is stronger and richer than ever before. Good luck with your site.
