    God when I was 6, 7, 8, and 9 in the late 60s I listened to all the killer music on the AM radio..The Beatles and The Doors, The Stones, etc and this new psychedelic music coming around in like 1967...But The 5th Dimension, Sly and The Family Stone, The Supremes, The Chambers Brothers, and The Temptations were on that AM stations too..And it seemed like they all got their souls PSYCHEDELIZED...It was cool as shit .I got all the 45s..I couldn't wait to get alittle older and try this LSD my little friends older brothers were telling us about...lol frankm64yroldwhitekid rock fan

    Paul’s having a pain crisis his body is real tense and as you see if he makes a far move he’ll quickly adjust because it hurts and you can see It in his face even though he puts on a smile he was in terrible pain and and when he did smile his teeth were clenched and he’s sweating I mean from the dancing but he’s trying to fight the pain he looks so pale you can tell it’s something wrong 🥺💔

      @kamscott4201 2 роки тому +9

      He is pale. Plus I read somewhere they had him on meds too. It's why his face is chunkier. Look at his hand movements too. He's not moving them much. And they put Eddie in front with blue when normally its Paul

    • @CAINE02
      @CAINE02 Рік тому +4

      Actually Paul was having issues with alcohol. His depression caused him to drink heavily n it showed at times that they cut off Paul’s Mic n had a friend of the group sing his parts backstage. It’s what helped Ed his life. Now Blu the bass’s he had bad pains after being shot in the legs when he saw someone stealing his car.
