    In 1968...the Chambers Bros were the 'house band' at legendary NY club The Electric Circus on St Marks Place.... they pioneered a new 'black rock' sound blending urban R & B, blues, hard rock, psychadelic acid rock and southern gospel. This was delivered in a free spirited style affecting anyone in range!!! They did a few sets of high voltage entertainment...always ending that summers Saturday nights with 'Time Has Come Today' !!! Any body that saw them can never forget!!!
    Ironic that the next year 1969 as The Chambers Bros. went touring America....the next band to become the club house band was Sly & The Family Stone from San Francisco.... all i can say is Wow!!!!

      There are certain performers who create a piece of music that is "timeless". This is a song that was at the center of a culture never before seen nor will it ever again. A mix of conflicts, patriotism and the "love" movement made this the vortex of the 60's and protesting the Vietnam War. We were united in everyway but especially, the music. I consider The Chambers Brothers, The Doors and Jimi Hendrix to be the greatest American music of my generation.

    I first heard this when I was in the Army they can still kick out the jams. Rock on Brothers.

    Saw them live at Notre Dame University in the sixties and they were Amazing!!! The audience started dancing on their seats, in the aisles and finally on the stage itself during this song!!!! All you could see of the band was the neck of the bass sticking straight up. The security guards were going absolutely nutzo, then finally gave up. The band loved it. The fans lived it. It is memorable to this day.
