Three Dog Night’s Most Incredible Live Performance Will Drop Your Jaw
via YouTube Channel (The unofficial Three Dog Night channel)
One Of A Kind
Covering Laura Nyro‘s 1967 “Eli’s Comin'” on Soundstage in 1975, each Three Dog Night member sings a stunning vocal solo to begin the ballad that will stop your freaking heart. Starting out with lead singer Cory Wells, well, there are no words. Although there were many artists of this time that could project, form and shape their voices to do incredible things, Cory’s absolutely soulful, chilling and soft wails in this performance will captivate every inch of your body.
Interesting Fact: Three Dog Night’s version of “Eli’s Comin'” reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969.
Shifting over to singer and musician Danny Hutton, who receives a chance to display his incredible range, as well as lung capacity, the tone is carried out beautifully proclaiming “Eli’s Comin'” soon. Lastly, Chuck Negron finishes off the beginning with a comic relief from what has to be one of the most soulful interludes to song we have ever seen with silly grunts and giggles.
Released on their Suitable for Framing album in 1969, Three Dog Night took the world by storm with this insanely brilliant and strong southern anthem; there are covers and then there is this performance.
We always knew that Three Dog Night was talented and still are (RIP Cory Wells) but this is just ridiculous. We still cannot get our goosebumps to go down! Can you??
+ Eli’s Comin’ Lyrics +
Eli’s comin’ (Eli’s a-comin’)
Well, you better hide your heart
Your loving heart
Eli’s a-comin’, and the cards say
A broken heart
Eli’s comin’, hide your heart, girl
Eli’s comin’, hide your heart, girl
Girl, Eli’s a-comin’, you better hide
Girl, Eli’s a-comin’, you better hide
Girl, Eli’s a-comin’, you better hide
Girl, Eli’s comin’, hide your heart, girl (Hide it)
You better, better hide your heart
Eli’s comin’, better walk
Walk but you’ll never get away
No, you’ll never get away from the burnin’ a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go, though
Eli’s a-comin’ (She walked, but she never got away)
Eli’s a-comin’ (She walked, but she never got away)
Eli’s a-comin’, and he’s comin’ to get ya (She walked, but, she walked, but)
Get down on your knees (She walked, but she never got away)
Eli’s comin’ (Hide it, hide it, hide it)
Girl, Eli’s a-comin’, you better hide
Girl, Eli’s a-comin’, you better hide
Girl, Eli’s a-comin’, you better hide
Girl, Eli’s comin’, hide your heart, girl (Hide it)
You better, better hide your heart
Eli’s comin’, better walk
Walk but you’ll never get away
No, you’ll never get away from the burnin’ a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go, though
Eli’s a-comin’ (She walked, but she’ll never get away)
Eli’s a-comin’ (She walked, but she’ll never get away)
Eli’s a-comin’, and he’s comin’ to get ya (She walked, but, she walked, but)
Get down on your knees (She walked, but she’ll never get away)
Get down on your knees
No-no, no-no
Lord, I said no-no, no-no, no-no
(Hide it) She can
(Hide it) Hide it
(Hide it) You better
(Hide it) Somebody
(Hide it) You got to
(Hide it) Oh, my
(Hide it) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
