The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

What a cultural, uh, behemoth! The weird instrumentation, the oh-so-stoned looks (they all look genuinely, massively stoned, too), the groovy melodies and sweet 60s love! And minus their great comic foe, the Harpo Marx of the Spoonful, Zal Yanovsky. You needed a little Zal to put a bite to Sebastian's grass-fed sweetness. What a great artifact of a culture long gone.
Right..still soo nice yet without Zal..it isn't as kewl somehow..they coulda just did shows with him along the Canadian border..tour with him Montreal Toronto sua st marie..then go without him to Detroit Chicago..Buffalo..etc..
Could not agree with you more, Steve. I was lucky to see The Lovin' Spoonful play live on a stage in the middle of the rodeo arena at the 1966 Ohio State Fair, and Zal Yanovsky was indeed rock and roll's version of Harpo Marx that summer afternoon.
There is a Beach Boys flavour and feel to this song. It's a great composition. The Lovin' Spoonful made incredible music. So catchy and so upbeat. Cheers! ✌️
Yes. Has the Pet Sounds sound.
Their final Top 40 hit, their final appearance on Sullivan, and the final video posted to UA-cam of their appearances on Sullivan. Was very sorry that John Sebastian left the group the following year as he was the driving force behind their success.
I thought it was Darling Be Home Soon
@@michaelrochester48 - Darling was earlier in the year.
I did not know that. That was my second favorite song of theirs next to You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice. A great group!!
Funny how little success he had without the group outside of Welcome Back (which is often listed wrongly as a Lovin' Spoonful song). Right after his Woodstock appearance I bought his first album and it was a disappointment.
@@toddparke8535 Did that have "She's A Lady" on it?
Their last Top 40 song peaking at # 27 (Hot 100).
It does sound like a song that signals an end.
John Sebastian is one of the most enchanting singers ever
What a lot of great memories!...
I really like Sebastian's voice. Talented guy, and the wink at 1:59 🥰 The set/background is awesome as well.
The Marxophone is a fretless zither played via a system of metal hammers. One also being played at the VERY BEGINNING of 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' by the Beach Boys. Check it out.
Thank you for posting, before I asked, "What the heck is that?!" Never heard of a Marxophone!
This song is amazing! John Sebastian is an excellent songwriter.
Saw Sebastian a couple years ago, he's brilliant and this is pure gold.
Wow I didn't know he was on still performing.
@@rickdaystar477 Yes, i saw him in Feb. 2020 at a small venue, I was in the first row only about 5-10 feet away from him. He tells great stories too.
@@terrywright8731 He had written some great songs, I used to listen to his records back in the day.. Terrible to say but I didn't know he was alive.
Look up the Alex Theater (Glendale CA) show of 2/29/2020-- Wild Honey Orchestra with Sebastian, Boone, Butler, and many guests.
it was over for me when Zally departed, still a great song. Glad I saw them in 66 at their peak.
Wow, how i would have loved to have seen that, i was born in 1967 so it was not to be sadly.
I was 2 years old in 66.
@@user._35278 I agree! There are some good ones out there, but there few and far between! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Zal left to join The Ramones
A year later Jerry Yester's older brother Jim would make his Sullivan debut with the Association
My favorite LS song! It brings back so many memories of my pre-teens when life was as it was song in these songs, when there was mystery. Heaven would be 1966--70!
One of the great '60's songs you never hear on the SiriusXM '60s channel...shame on them!!!
Absolutely! I was pre-teen. Girls had long hair, colorful clothes, and flowered sandals.
An iconic band from the 60's...great songs and I believe they were totally underrated
Wonderful song! Great guys!
I was 12 when this aired
I always used to think John Sebastian was just the cutest ever ❤
He was quite attractive. His musical talent made him even more so to me.
Love the song!
Love the sets!
Love the outfits!
Thanks for this trip back to '67!
I like the buckskin John is wearing.
My absolute favorite Lovin' Spoonful song, and I love them all.
Wow!! They were so talented!
Great video of music on Ed's show from when I was a year old. I grew up watching all those greatly talented performers until his run ended.
Ahhhhh, it sure is great to finally see this online again. One of my personal favorite performances from this show. Thank you for uploading this is great to see it again!!
So agree with this.
Good song. Hadn't heard it before.
Same here. And I agree; good song. I like it.
Great song. Thank you for sharing this. They always did such wonderful music.
This is my Number 1 Lovin Spoonful song and it was from the first time I heard it.
John Sebastian e Jerry Yester belíssimos nessa apresentação! 😍 E essa música me parece inspirada nas obras de Brian Wilson. Excelente! 💕
A sad end to a group that made so many memories and awesome hits in such a short time. Zal Yanovsky had been busted for possession and deported to Canada and that was one of the catalysts that ended the band.
This sounds a lot better than the 45 rpm issue.
Timeless classic. 😎😎😎😎
This performance was in mid-October 1967, according to the description. I learned of Zal Yanovsky's departure in a free magazine called GO distributed by radio stations across the U.S. in various retail outlet. The issue mentioning that Zal had left the group came out just around the time I went back to school in early September, so it makes sense that he was not part of this performance. His replacement was named Yester, with a first name that starts with J. There were two brothers named Yester, Jim and Jerry, one who had been in the Association since the time they started having hit singles about a year and a half earlier. The other one was Zal's replacement in the Lovin' Spoonful. I don't remember which was which. I am guessing that J. Yester is the keyboard player in this video. Steve Boone is on bass, and Joe Butler is on drums.
Jerry Yester (who first came to prominence as a member of the Modern Folk Quartet) is on the other keyboard for the Spoonful. Jim Yester was in The Association. John left after the "Everything Playing" album while Steve, Joe and Jerry did one more album that tanked. Steve and Joe kept the band alive for years.
@@garyrasberryjr.552 I think that John Sebastian may have been replaced by another John, John Stewart (not to be confused with the TV star Jon Stewart). John Stewart had been in the Kingston Trio and had just had a major songwriting success with the Monkees' hit "Daydream Believer". He later had some solo hits in the late 1970s. At any rate, Stewart wrote the only post-Sebastian Lovin' Spoonful song I ever heard on the radio, "Never Goin' Back", on which Joe Butler sang lead.
@@rslitman The last album "Revelation: Revolution '69" had just Joe, Steve and Jerry listed in the credits. "Never Going Back" peaked at #73 on the Hot 100.
@@rslitman John Stewart wrote "Never Going Back," but was not part of the group. Wikipedia is your friend.
@@mikeymutual5489 Thanks for clearing this up. I don't know where I got this wrong information, but it probably wasn't Wikipedia.
1967... memories. Thanks
Beautiful song.
Hall of Famers Creative Rock!
awesome video.. never seen this one before ever online of the The Lovin' Spoonful .. 🙂🙂
55 years ago, looks like this was filmed yesterday.!
Awesome song!
Are they a little high?
I think so!
Doesn't matter, very satisfying to watch and hear
I remember their songs on that Elizabeth Hartman movie Your A Big Boy Now, they did so many great tracks.
got that movie on VHS.
My favorite song of theirs.... and really high, no less.
my favorite album of theirs Nathan. so many good songs.
It's been a favorite since it came out. If I had to compile a top ten pop tunes list, She Is Still a Mystery is firmly positioned, maybe twice!
Great 👋👋👋👋
I think "Welcome Back" is his best song!
John sebastian's the best songwriter 👏👏👏😊🍺
Nevera saw this one!
Oh my gosh, the wink 🥰🥰🥰
Is there any similar insightful song, anything like this?! Sebastian is real human, with real spirit and mind among all other the musicians.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
More John Sebastian? Excellent. 🙂
john b sebastian's zonked...
& so are the others
wonderful music from a creative age....
thanks for this upload
Zonked, lol ,haven’t heard that in years. I’m gonna start saying it again, maybe it’ll come back😂
TEMAZO!!!...
Cool Ludwig Carioca kit. Don't see those too often.
Ela é um mistério para mim.
☮ ☮ ☮ ☮
Thanks for the return to classic ‘60s pop music icon performance posts! 😎 Might you please still post the two believed remaining remastered Supremes segments from Sullivan to be uploaded, ie their “I Hear A Symphony/standards” medley after their “Can’t Hurry Love” (already posted) performance; and their “Mame/Thoroughly Modern Millie” number from their (also posted) “The Happening” performance episode? TY! 😍
Catchy tune, but without Zal the Spoonful was clearly fading fast.
But this one is still a gem!
is this the hair dryer one where Yester is talking into a hair straightner lol
Only pretty what a pitty.
@@mkruup homely in the cradle , pretty at the table
What is that gizmo he plays at the begginning of the song?
I researched it. It's a Marxophone.
Little brother to the Harpomarxophone
Der Spoonful ohne den Yanovsky! Prima!
What's the name of the instrument he's playing with his hand in the beginning?
It’s a Marxophone, sounds lovely.
Does anyone know the name of the instrument John plays?
AutoHarp.
Modified Autoharp
I believe he said in a documentary it's a Marxophone
I didnt think that Zal had left the band in 67.
He left in May that year
What is that thing attached to sebastian’s citara?
No more Zal :(
A nice song, but I'm also used to seeing Zal in the line-up.
What's wrong with the pedo replacement Yester, oh wait.
@@mysticgeneie4668 Guess that was rhetroical.
Hate they had to chop the wonderful outro.
Still love them!
The guitar player left to be in The Ramones, that’s why he’s not here
A Marxophone played by Sebastian😁
A very nice typical lovelable sexy 60's Song...but not the coolest to listen closely every day😉
A versão com Renato e Seus Blues Caps é melhor !!!
They on the zaza 💀
I guess Zal left the band by this time.
After they dumped Zal for being an embarrassing dweeb.
Where was Zal??
