James Taylor in a pocket tee shirt, the pocket tee shirt is a timeless classic that quietly moves from generation to generation without any recognition or fuss. I just bought three for the summer
I'm the first person to comment? OK. I'm not a robot, just an eternal timeless entity traveling through time and space and reliving the moment when rocknroll reigned Supreme. My message for this generation is to realize that you all have the power to change the world 🌎 by shifting your vibration and simply turning your dial to love. Just consider it. Spirit will respond and do the rest. It can grow into a pandemic for the sanity of the human race. Peace ✌️ and love to all who reads this message from the future.
McKendree Spring was incredibly loud at U.Mass stadium 1972 (Fleetwood Mac - RIP Danny Kirwan, the most underrated guitarist of all time). THE loudest I'd heard until Motörhead & Black Sabbath at Roseland, 1995, 23 years later.
James Taylor is a rare exception among all these great musicians from the past. He is still going strong. Wish more of them would have been able to do that.
Loved the rare footage of singer-songwriter (and, later, educator, and Fulbright scholar) Donal Leace--singing "Forever of Me.". Many other fine moments on this time capsule experiment on public television.
Too bad President Richard Nixon didn't deport those noise poluting "War Machine" hippie FREAK bastards as part of a "Keep America Beautiful" campaign. Ha, ha.
Bill Haley's Comets steal the show. Burning sax, hot guitar, thumpin' bass, pounding drums like a herd of elephants. THE best pure R&R band of their time.
Bill Haley shows such great performances. Really was the highlight of all of these videos. Rock around the clock, shake rattle and roll, and this rudys rock
there is a certain squareness about this program..............i can't quite put my finger on it............and yet, it is still more entertaining, with more actual talent being displayed, than pretty much anything on TV today. enjoyed it, thx. wb
public tv, was pretty new. so the squarness would be this is a music show for teens as determined by the guys that sent those same teens to die in a war for their greed. Then they told these teens that it was the people not in power that pushed us into that war.
I think a lot of it had to do with the furniture and the nitwit who thought it a good idea placing the front row seating facing away from the stage. It looked more like an AA meeting than a concert.

Wow...I thought this show did not exist anymore! I remember watching this on the local PBS station in Sacramento every week. This is the first time I get to watch it in color. KVIE in Sacramento only showed it in Black and White.
I grew up in the North Bay, and although I was only 8 in 1970, my much older brothers and sister were a huge musical influence on me lol. Never heard of this show, but great stuff!
Thank you thank you thank you AGAIN , for these wonderful videos !!! This is the stuff I search for on TH-cam , the vintage images of bands when they were young , so I can take that trip back in The Time Machine , recall my youth , and momentarily forget the present, which I sadly have no use for and cannot relate to . I'm not alone in that , judging by many comments I read ! MANY people pining for earlier days , their youth , and music is the touchstone .
Looks factory to me. You'd have to add wood to lower horn of regular firebird to get that french curve carved out. Then route for binding and blend finish in. Not to mention pre routing for pu selector switch. Awful lot of work just to look pretty. Robin Hood probably on to something. Speaking of artisan Gibby's, I had a late 70s lp artisan custom 3 pu vine inlays walnut top maple neck . Pretty to look at. Played great, sounded like shit. Not a good wood combo for LP's. Imp. That fancy firebird sure sounds sweet tho don't it?😊
This was the height of deep cut Prog rock. Iron Butterfly was amazing here. Coil guitar chords modified guitars and guys that can put their vocals out there in tune
Gosh DARN ~ I never knew Country Joe had those talents... I never bought any of his stuff because the ONLY thing he did was his novelty anti war song.. Didn't know....I'm impressed 👍
You’ve made us Bill Haley fans really. Virtually no complete footage is in circulation of the 1969-70 Comets and it’s amazing to see Rudy’s Rock which we’ve only heard in audio form. Bill Nolte (drums), Rudy Pompilli (sax), Rey Cawley (bass), Nick Nastos (lead), Ray Parsons (rhythm) and of course Haley himself are on top form in these clips at the height of the Rock and Roll Revival!
I got very Lucky. In 1969 Haley and the Comets were taking their farewell world tour. It was the last time the original plalyers would be together. In fact, they had not been unified for some time. I was at their agency in New York trying to find acts for THE SHOW. The agent said, "Would you be interested in Bill Haley & HIs Comets?" assumng I would not. As a guy who went to high school 1955-1958 this was a dream come true. When the band came on the set they were the nicest guys. "Where do you want us" and "Which songs do your want.?" I asked for Rock around the Clock, Shake Rattle & Roll, See you Later Aligator (we used it for the credits) and Rudy's Rock which I had heard only once. Haley said, "You got it!" I recalled back then for Rudy's Rock they went through a bunch of hijinks including going out in the audience. I asked if they still did that. "Oh yes," Haley said, "Is that what you want?" "Abosulutely" I answered. I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
Unbelievable thank you for posting my friend. Might be the best thing I ever heard in my life and I have been around the block a few times. God be with you always. 🎼🕊️
Damn!! Time to go buy that new Lay-Z-Boy!! Because, I sure as hell feel old!!😂 But I gotta say, Iron Butterfly's, "Butterfly Bleu" is a sweet return to a different time. A far cry from the days of "Unconcious Power!"
They were brilliantly frantic! Unfortunately it was lost on most of these 'hip' kids .....with tthe exception of JT everybody else sucked in that post 1960's self indulgent way that was the fate of most rock bands from that time circa 70/71 ......self absorbed , stoned and stinkin
@@goodtimefolkrock not me brother. Bill Haley is my idol and I have most of his albums. Man he was out before Elvis or Jerry Lee or any of them rockers. He started the whole thing. 🙋
El gran Bill demostró estar en muy buena forma a fines de los sesenta y principios de los setentas. Tranquilamente pudo haber estado en Woodstock o en la Isla de Wight, o mejor aun, en el Festival de Toronto con John Lennon.
Some very good bands. I am familiar with most of them. However, this is the first time I ever heard Mckendree Spring. What a great singer and band. I checked Spotify and the is only a 2007 album available. I will search out more. Thanks for turning me on to a great band.
Thank you for these videos. I was there! I was a senior at Hershey High School (or maybe a freshman at HACC). I remember sitting in the student audience and discussing “current events”. It actually gave a voice to us and the show was ahead of its time. Later I worked at WITF-TV and always loved the innovation of the station and the people that worked there. Such a nice flashback.
It is nice to hear from someone who actually remembers The Show, although I have heard from a few others including another Hershey High School student who was also a member of the audience. The Show was not at all polished product, though it was the first to put the Woodstock Era musicians on television. We who produced the series had never done anything like that before, so its gratifyng to know it had some impact. A year later we had all scattered to the winds. Clark Santee
Say, what's your band like?! Nooooooshit, Brother. (Edit: One thing tho, bit of advice. Maybe stay out of the friendly skies, ya dig it, man??!? Hell, stick to vans..busses..or fuuck it, go horseback of you can dig it, ya know?!
Nice find. Never, ever heard of this show. Interesting concept, high school kids sitting around listening to live performances in a small studio. Bill Haley rocked! I watched all of the shows and some of the kids looked bored at times. lol
Man, Bill Haley & The Comets rock. I would venture they weren't considered cool at this later stage of their career. No one told any of them and they literally "rip it up" like twenty year olds! I saw the Rock Around The Clock video on the first installation and after initially hearing the intro thought about FFW it, but didn't and was mightily impressed. This just drives it up a level again. Thanks for this very good video.
McKendree Spring actually covered Tom Rush's song, "No Regrets", which was a hit in the 70s in the UK by the reformed Walker Brothers. Interesting see some of these kids in their later careers. Barry Melton and Country Joe were the only two original Fish in this clip.
Recently I just pulled up a compilation of iron butterfly film footage and it was a little over an hour long and it was fantastic. They had Ford edge from Dick Clark's American bandstand and also beat club footage of when Mike Panera join the band from Blues image. Sometime in the 80s I went to see iron butterfly when they backed up savoye brown and Mike was back in the band again and after the show I had a long conversation with him backstage all about butterfly and he was the nicest guy in the world. But nobody can still play guitar better than the first guitar player of butterfly because he was a monster of metal. I have every iron butterfly album and they are truly an underrated band . Plus if you go online there is a really nice show of theirs from the Fillmore on audio . 🙏
@@chriskroll4166 I was friends with the Bands sound man. I'll bet he's got some sweet live footage of the band. I know for sure he does have quite a large 8 track recordings from backstage for hundreds of concerts. He hooked me up with a live recording of the Doors last gig.
@@DELANDIGS all that stuff is gold right now. Not much great music happening so everybody is getting retro and going back and discovering all these fantastic bands.
Very interesting that this came from WITF in Hershey Pennsylvania, a public TV station that's still around today.. I wonder what other gems they have in their archives?
Yeah, Barry was ripping it up, scowling his lyrics, and generally pushing The Love Machine song. But that truly was a good drum solo not overly indulged in the least. Not sure if the drummer is "Chicken Hurst"???
If my failing memory serves me correctly Mike Pinera's 'Talk Box' was marketed as 'The Bag' by Kustom. He used it on the album Metamorphosis where this song comes from. My favorite Butterfly album. The concept of the Talk Box goes way back to the 30's or 40's.

While doing THE SHOW we wondered the same thing. All I can say is these were high school students from the 1970s, and when having the lights and microphones turned on and cameras pointed at them, did not react the way American kids fully up to speed with, the iitnerenet, computeres, monitors and cellphones would do now, 50 years later. Most of these kids didn't even own a camera! Perhaps afraid of being teased by frends and classmates because of some goofy thting they did on television, they felt they were safer just sitting there like a pieces of stone. We too were disappointed. Clark Santee
@@santeevideo I would have been one of those kids sitting there...not because I was afraid or worried what others thought. Music has been a major part of my life and listening conjures up great memories...hell I even played bass in a band but I never felt compelled to dance. I want to see who did what to make those glorious sounds that tickled my brain...I wanted to understand how they made those sounds. This probably will sound strange but I went and saw Kraftwerk on their Computer World Tour and was annoyed by everyone bouncing me around...I guess to each his own.
Really wish you have more Jam Factory footage, if not , we all miss out , explosive long live jams was their trade mark along with their tight knit group groves and innovative genre combinations
This version of Iron Butterfly was one of the best/often overlooked twin guitar attacks in Rock / and this talk-box recording- performance preceded Frampton and Walsh by a couple years !!!###
As a young TV director just learning the ropes, Iron Butterfly’s “Butterfly Blue” was quite the challenge. Unfortunately my camera coverage did not measure up, and I have been kicking my butt ever since… that’s 53 years worth. I have received many good comments about the piece, so I guess the music overcame my inability to control the shots. If in my career, if I wanted another crack at televising a song, that would be it. Clark Santee
@santeevideo I didn't notice anything perceivably wrong with it- but that's your level of expertise and not mine/although I'm sure techniques along with technology have changed greatly in that amount of time !!!

Thanks, youtube algorithm. What a time capsule!
That is the earliest talkbox I have ever seen! Very cool.
The drummer for the fish needs a lot more love than what he got...
Such a great show!! The beginning for a 22yr old James Taylor; so talented, but so young he could barely grow a mustache. Love it.
He sounded so good

Truly grateful for your time in uploading these memories. Can't believe there was a segment on McKendree Spring
So much expressive emotion channeled in the music back then.....what happen to today's music?
definitely a uniquely era for music...maybe the singer/songwriter style will make a comeback.
Producers got involved and fucked the music up, thought they knew better than the musician.

tRIED TO TALK AND ACT LIKE JAMES BROWN THOUGH
Love machine sounds just like Locomotive Breath at times
Iron Butterfly. I can hear their influence in later people I grew up listening to.
love it. thank you. James T was so perfect I thought it might be lip sing?..?
Awesome post! Thanks man
James Taylor. Wow😊
thank you so much
Rare Earth killing it ! Wooohooooh
Now i know where April Wine got the riff for She's a Roller . Bass line from Iron Butterfly. That's cool !
Great ride back to yesterday.
Country Joe and the fish were at Woodstock in 1969 and played many times of the days they were there.
And the crowd goes mild!
(Why are they just sitting and staring as this kick-ass music is played live right in their laps??)
While doing THE SHOW we wondered the same thing. All I can say is these were high school students from the 1970s, and when having the lights and microphones turned on and cameras pointed at them, did not react the way American kids fully up to speed with, the iitnerenet, computeres, monitors and cellphones would do now, 50 years later. Most of these kids didn't even own a camera! Perhaps afraid of being teased by frends and classmates because of some goofy thting they did on television, they felt they were safer just sitting there like a pieces of stone. We too were disappointed.

@@santeevideo I would have been one of those kids sitting there...not because I was afraid or worried what others thought. Music has been a major part of my life and listening conjures up great memories...hell I even played bass in a band but I never felt compelled to dance. I want to see who did what to make those glorious sounds that tickled my brain...I wanted to understand how they made those sounds. This probably will sound strange but I went and saw Kraftwerk on their Computer World Tour and was annoyed by everyone bouncing me around...I guess to each his own.
Showbiz. Producers picks.
Really wish you have more Jam Factory footage, if not , we all miss out , explosive long live jams was their trade mark along with their tight knit group groves and innovative genre combinations
Sorry, those were the only Jam Factory songs we recorded for 1970's THE SHOW. Yes, they were memorable. Clark
This version of Iron Butterfly was one of the best/often overlooked twin guitar attacks in Rock / and this talk-box recording- performance preceded Frampton and Walsh by a couple years !!!###
As a young TV director just learning the ropes, Iron Butterfly’s “Butterfly Blue” was quite the challenge. Unfortunately my camera coverage did not measure up, and I have been kicking my butt ever since… that’s 53 years worth. I have received many good comments about the piece, so I guess the music overcame my inability to control the shots. If in my career, if I wanted another crack at televising a song, that would be it.

@santeevideo I didn't notice anything perceivably wrong with it- but that's your level of expertise and not mine/although I'm sure techniques along with technology have changed greatly in that amount of time !!!
Super Melanie...
You can see the total lineage eg the sax player in bill Haley’s from the Louis prima band
Actually that's Rudy Pompilli who started with Haley in 1955. Sam Butera was Prima's sax man.
@@mclark42 yeah gotcha - I more meant I see the influence or lineage of the style - good to know the players names !!
@@mclark42 Butera and Keely Smith were the key stars in my book in Primas band
@@gregb8565 I love Keely and Sam.. Gia Maione couldn't compete. Love to read your book.
Don't remember seeing this and was a PBS viewer from day 1.
