One of my personal favorites by this band. Great vocals by James Griffin and harmonies on the chorus.

“Guitar Man” is one of their most beautiful and haunting songs.

“Guitar Man” takes me back in time almost instantly. Sadness and joy at the same time. Such is life.

Too many Bread songs sound the same. I have a belief that if one goes to Hell they only play Bread, Air Supply and “Having My Baby” on the intercom.

Good for David Gates. IIRC, he took the money he made, bought a each up in Wyoming or Montana, and he and his wife raised a bunch of nice, normal kids.

I listen to the The Bread Special - 1978 - (Full Concert) frequently.

Maybe slightly off topic, but sure you’ll like it,
Found this channel and they have live performers from Mexico during the quarantine with questions and answers between songs. They usually go 1 or 2 hours;
This one is live now;
Querrequeando con Soraima y sus Huastecos.

“Good 70’s band. All dead from cancer except David Gates.”

Not quite. Original member Robb Royer is still alive and well living in Nashville.

Bread was my go to tape to play when taking dates to the drive in. I remember the songs but not the movies.
I always felt like I owed Bread a lot of thank you’s.

Surprised no one has mentioned “Just Like Yesterday” written and sung by James Griffin.

This has always served as an example of perfect song construction. The harmonies of Griffin and Gates are some of the best ever, and the many changes in tempo deliver incredible highs and lows....and chills. It’s a shame this song didn’t get more airplay as it is certainly one of their best.

Gates went to the same high school in Tulsa as Leon Russell and Anita Bryant. That’s pretty stellar company!
