While I felt this was not a great song in the classic rock sense, I was just finishing my first Army year, and starting a year of Vietnamese Language training in Arlington VA...and this song came out and it just "hit " me right...now I always love hearing it and remembering a very different time.
The Grande opened and things changed. The bands started playing hard driving sets. The band covered British groups that most people had not heard of. And some like the MC 5, SRC, The Rationals, and Iggy started playing their own Detroit Rock and set the tone for years to come. Long Live The Detroit Rocker's!!!
No wireless system there. This is the recording straight from the album. Also, notice there are no amps in sight. The first wireless systems weren't available till 1975 by inventor Ken Schaffer. He created the first commercially available wireless system for electric guitar and bass.
The days of great rock and roll in Detroit working class bands! All of the bands from that time grow up playing R&B dance covers like shake a tail feather, shout, Louie Louie, and the likes for teen clubs (the pit, the church, and the hide out) all over the area.
We do a cover of this song, when we can find a guitar player to play it! What a song, we get rave reviews and they wanna know where the song came from. THIS IS WHY I COLLECT RECORDS!!! It's too cool to find these gems in an old record store..... By the way, it's hard to keep a guitar player because they (the guitar players around here) say "people wanna hear what they know". I guess we'll just go through guitar players.
Saw these guys at the Cincinnati Gardens Pop Festival in 1970 (I think). It was a great day/evening of rock music featuring great local acts Whalefeathers, Bitter Blood St Theater; and amazing national acts MC5, Amboy Dukes (featuring Ted what-his-name), Mountain, and many others (including Joe Cocker/Mad Dogs and Englishmen, who never showed due to air traffic controllers' strike; at least according to promoter Mike Quatro [Suzi's bro]).
I used to see their LPs in the late 60s but as a teen w/out much income I couldn't buy it. Now I'm sorry-they are great and I never heard them on the radio.
Its the Lively Spot show, I asked my pops about it (He was like 14 when this song came out) And if he remembered, the show, he said nah, and neither did my uncle (Who was like 15)
I love how the lead singer actually looks like someone in costume today trying to replicate what someone in the 70s in a rock band would have looked like because it's so incredibly cliche it's hilarious😅😅😅😅😅😅 he looks straight out of an SNL sketch
Where did people get the idea that Frijid Pink are from Canada? dawgp99 is right, the Pink ARE from DETROIT! And their drummer can confirm that, he goes by 3sterling here on youtube.
🗣 Realy , this is *Excelent* song . My fav. progressive band , in *Best* period progressive music 70's
We could use more Music like This Today. Good Jam Rock - n - Roll.
Classic....1969...I was in High School..

Love these guys. Dear friends of mine. The bass players name was Tom aka Satch. He was like family.
Great band.

@wheatonna
Yeah he does and there are points where that guitar sounds a little like the guitar in American Woman.

Hi Susie. That's my dad singing ;)
5 stars for the singer's shirt
@TheSusiyp been along time i looked at a map but isn't detroit almost in canada? anyway the singer sounds like that guy in guess who:-)
Almost sounds like a Guess Who riff..AmericanWoman?
Detroit is just across the river from Windsor, Ontario.
So THAT"S where Joe Cocker got his dance moves from !!!!!!
The headless guitarist is kind of spooky. I found the flatulent audio a bit disconcerting tho. Great moustach
Kick the ass!!!
gibson sg
yeee hahhh
Yeah, he does sound a little like Burton Cummings.
+!
Playback??
sedated MC5.
still good Detroit rock though.
The drummer could at least try to pretend to kinda almost fake it almost like.
Joe Cocker preceeded them.
the bass player looks like john frusciante
Allen park
:) QC

the bassist looks a bit like John Frusciante
Lip synching-where are the amplifiers?
And i bet you all thought lip syncing started with Britney spears hehe
I still prefer his pipes to Britney's ;-)
Rineke RobertsonvanDam absolutely 👍
