These guys WERE the sound of New York City in the mid- sixties. They captured the vibe of the time, and every time I hear their great records, it takes me back to that time.
I was eleven in 1965. I'll be seventy one in January. These guys were my favorite band then and they still are. And Do You Believe in Magic has always been my favorite song. ❤❤❤❤❤
Quel plaisir de retrouver la musique pop de cette époque...Ici pas d'artifices dans le son des guitares tout est brut de décoffrage... Les guitares sont branchées direct et la prise de son très correcte par ailleurs, aucune débauche de matériels et ça sonne comme j'aime ! Nous sommes en 1965 et ne l'oubliez pas !

💖LOVED💖the Lovin' Spoonful and still love their music. It is a shame Zal Yanovsky (guitar player) died of a heart attack in 2002 at only 57 years old. He was one of the few guitarists who I ever seen play a Guild S-200 Thunderbird solid body guitar. I had one of those from 1966 to 1972 and lost it in an apartment fire. I have never seen or found another one. I could watch this video over and over and never get tired of going back in time to the "GRAND OLE' DAYZZZZ"... Not like this shit noise they call music of today!!!
I would kill for the younger girl at 1:30 rocking out in the jet black hair in the day, AND a similiar black haired gal at 3:35, I'd never be bored.. guarenteed! Robert at 69.
Classic rock. I was working in a small market (64th) Top 40 radio station in their commercial heyday. Their songs got continuous requests on our request line! You can see why here.
Fuck bringing "color" into the equation. I'm so tired of people feeling like they have to acknowledge race inequalities today. This is why we can't have nice things
@@SureGibson777 I saw John Sebastian play in the 1970s at UConn, I still remember him walking out with his autoharp. I tried to play it back then but I think mine was just a toy version. Wonderful clip!
My two favorite Lovin' Spoonful songs and being able to see them live is great! I've seen the "Do You Believe in Magic" portion before, but the sound quality was pretty bad. Thanks!
At 1:25 check out that hand/wrist action - her boyfriend was a lucky guy in 1965 PS - what a GREAT live band they were - great talent back then, as a kid you were in awe of many of the talent of groups/artists - in 2024 do kids today admire the talent of today's rappers and pop stars - they may love/like them but in awe of their talent? Doubtful...

My generation. But to be fair, we were angry that the Woodstock generation didn't deliver its promise of a vast social revolution. Both our generations failed to factor in human error and the colossal greed of those in power...and what they would do to maintain it.

Yes and no..Sabastion changed musical directions by 67/68 which deflected from their more roots/Rock/good time music into more country/pop drivil/experimental crap. Though Zal screwed around on stage sometimes he was largely right about his assesment of Sebastion, and was an underated guitarist who could play many music styles. Love him or not, never a dull moment with Zal Yavnosky Robert at 69.
@@bobmalack481 Sure I like him with the Spoonful. I think I heard Zal's country experimental crap once or twice - I just looked "once or twice and simply went upon my quiet way". The only thing I didn't like about the Spoonful was the good time/jug band music. My Darlin Be Home Soon/ You didn't have to be so Nice/ Magic/Younger Girl/Summer in the City are my faves. The only hits they had that I don't like is What a Day for a Daydream and Nashville Cats.

To the Beatles, love and spoonful was like the American Beatles. These guys were one of the best rock bands that ever was.👍👍😁😁❤️
Four of the most under-rated musicians, all in one band.
Genius 😎
This song to me is certainly way up in the TOPTEN of the best ever three minute songs!
Great music from a great era.

Zally reminds me of Harpo Marx. Great player though, especially for that early period when most bands relied on studio musicians.

It's an autoharp.
