Best Kenny Rogers song and performance EVER! Give me Kenny and the First Edition always. He may have been king of the ballads in the 80s. The hits with the First Edition will always be my favorites!
Oh yeah. Latter day Rogers fans who weren't around or didn't remember the 1960s found it hard to believe that he cut this slice of psychedelia in 1967 (song went to #5 in 1968) The next year they went to a country-rock format.
Beth, my 5 yr younger hubby will be home soon....can't wait to try it out on him and see what he says. Sometimes he'll just look at me when i know all the words to a song that came out when he was just a toddler.
Long way from Islands in the stream, huh? I was born August of 69 and do not remember this song. I would assume I've been in the same room that it was playing at one time in my life. I just didnt realise it was this legend. Is Kenny Roger's most peoples favorite artist? No, but he is an absolute legend of the business. My mom and Aunts thought he was a "hunk". I seem to remember Kenny Roger's was always in the rotation on vacation trips. Always. God damn Lucille. Lol
Yes. Great kick butt song. Never gets old. I wish Kenny would had done more rock & roll...great song in my teenage years from 67 till I graduated in 1972...this song still rocks...I'm a 60s-70s dude forever
I remember the days when Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton would sing together and they were singing Just beautifully together the songs the music the sounds it was all great music and everything about it❤
@Sad but True The issue was "this type of music" and "more songs like this" versus what he did later. If you can write a song like this and as good as this every day, I'd like to hear or read a few of them.
I graduated H.S. in 67 when this song came out. At the time (and for quite a few years afterwards), I was living this song. One might call it my "experimental" years. Who do I need to thank for the trip back to memory lane?
@@joebeeler990 Yes, I am aware of that. I sometimes wonder how I survived. But I have to admit, those times left me with some "interesting" memories...both good and bad.
In 1968 I was 11 & I remember singing to this song thinking it was so different from the music of that tine......I love it & still do. Kenny at that time was a true 70's singer, he had the look down pat!!!! A fine looking man .
@@Torahboy1 just did! Still doesn’t compare to the original. The music n the whole thing put together is different fr this version. I might put my work down n listen to the original again
Yes he was! The Bee Gees wrote “Islands in the Stream”, handed it to Kenny, and Kenny tapped Dolly to sing it with him. The man was not only a great singer…he was brilliant‼️
Lyrics: "I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in I found my mind in a brown paper bag within I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high I tore my mind on a jagged sky I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in I got up so tight I couldn't unwind I saw so much I broke my mind I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind Eight miles out of Memphis and I got no spare Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in Yeah Yeah Oh yeah"
This was the music one Wanted to have head phones on as they blasted down the road doing 90 mph or so! BUT we Had No Such Gadgets to do it with...Bummer plus!
@@paulconnelly6560 you could be right- I was writing from memory but mine was bad-i know the BeeGees did it (probably first). Later Kenny & Dolly had the biggest hit with it!
Please stop the confusion, you're referring to different songs! Mickey Newbury wrote Just Dropped In The Bee Gees wrote Islands in the Stream. They originally wrote it for Marvin Gaye (who ended up not using it AFAIK) in an R&B style, but later changed it for the Kenny Rogers album. Not so sure they actually used the song themselves before the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton version, as the first version recorded by the Bee Gees was from a live performance in November 1997 and a subsequent studio version was released in 2001. The first cover versions released appears to be with lyrics in Swedish (1983) and Danish (1984)
Many years ago, my girlfriend, now wife, was a C&W fan. She came over one day when I was playing my First Edition album and this song was playing. She asked me what kind of druggie music was I listening to? I told her to wait for the next track which was "Ruby" and she couldn't believe one of her country heroes was once a psychedelic rock star.
I remember around 20 years ago a C&W fan wanted a Fistfight, when I said Kenny Rogers started as a ROCKER with the First Edition. I hope the Fool checked out the truth.
When I first heard this song as a kid in the 80s, who only knew Kenny as a country singer, I didnt even know he'd done this or any rock music. I learned later about that. The man was amazing, in both genres. RIP Kenny. Thanks for all the great music.
I heard a different version of this on the radio at work yesterday, and I immediately recognized it. As soon as I played it today, my daughter who is 11, immediately knew who was singing. I can thank my mum for introducing me to Kenny when I was young. I will always love him & his music. 💕
I'm 43 years old and I just learned that Kenny Roger's was not always a country star and that he played bass. I've seen Lebowski a hundred times and never knew
I just can't believe I never knew Kenny Rogers was in this band and did this song. How that got passed me I have no idea but it is true you learn something new every day. He's awesome for the genre but I like all his stuff.
In 1974, my dad flew for AA outtah Chicago, he used to tail strike the DC9 on purpose, on take off, while listening to this song....man those were the days
Always loved this tune. Brings back memories of the late 60s for me. I would've been around 7 or 8 when it first came on the radio. Still digging it. 😎👍
The female singer to the left in back of Kenny is Mary Arnold, who was Roger Miller's second wife. In 2009, she was inducted into the IOWA rock n roll Hall of Fame. She fought Sony music in court for the rights to Roger Miller's music. She won, but the decision was later overturned. Corporate greed.
I forgot Kenny Rogers started out as a Pop singer with the First Edition before he became a famous Country and Western Singer. What a great voice he has.
This is what I mean when I say...musicians like Kenny never die...rebirth happens every time he drops in to see what condition his condition IS in...RIP....a fave in canada...❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
It's 1:41am.. jammin' to this while drinkin a beer and eating left over pizza. What's my condition that my condition is in.. thanks Kenny.. say hi to my brother & my mom. She really liked you. 💜&🙏🏾
We had Kenny Rogers and The First Edition records when I was a kid. He was one of the few Country singers to crossover. Great voice. RIP, Gambler 🌺 #ABIDE
Been a fan since The 60s. 1 of my 1st albums w. my 1st paycheque. Folk/Rock we were trying to embrace all music in the 60s-70s...We were all about NOT discriminating, especially via something that could bring everyone to Come Together Over Me.
Way ahead of it's time? I think it fits its time since it doesn't really fit this time. Regardless, I'm glad I was exposed to it in The Big Lebowski. Excellent sequence for The Dude.
When you look back at all the masterpieces in music that have been gifted to us over the decades by one Kenny Rogers....that tells you all you need to know about how gifted that man was, to say nothing of the pure entertainer he proved himself to be. Thank you sir for all the timeless hits and performances you've gifted us with over the years. RIP...you will be missed.
so i was in the car and when the scream happened before the last verse i let it go and my sis DIED lol she was like where did that come from? i was like its the song girl lol
This song has been stuck in my head on high rotation since i watched The Big Kabowski for the first time three days ago. Kenny Rogers singing a hippy drug song and playing bass.. mind blown man.....
Lot of us in the 60s & 70s did not see a lot of these live videoes till later in our lives.. i was like 67 or so till i saw this video. I did see them in live concert in the 60s...we were albums & radio back then mainly, except what u mite see on TV
No lip sync, which is nice, 100% live, on TV and very rockin' and bluesy. A Young Kenny and The First Edition. I knew of this tune, years before it was famously used the film THE BIG LEBOWSKI.
Newer Kenny Rogers fans over the years never realized that he cut this psychedelic number which went to #5 in 1968. I like the girl in the hot pants and boots standing behind Kenny.
That's Mickey Jones on the drums! We miss you Mickey, love all the characters you played in movies & TV series, you were a multi talented man, RIP my friend....
Thanks to the big lebowski and this song. I can never look at my stepdad the same. Being a big dude from the oilfield. And then being head of maintenance at a retirement facility. Plus an old hippie that loved his weed. I always think of him and laugh.
If this song isn’t played at my funeral.... I’m not attending.
You really should go to it. I'm sure it wouldn't be the same without you.
@@danielfronc4304 Great one!
I'll be at my own funeral over my dead body
Knock knock

69 years old but this is the first time I've seen this performance. They really blew it away! Wow!
I happen to be the same age and this song came to mind - I never realized it was Kenny Rogers, my condition is totally blown right now! 😂
Yeah the studio version had a funky little thing at the beginning😊 really cool though I am also your age and yeah rest in peace Kenny
This is a great song ; it really ties the room together
🎉
Lol
Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
OVER THE LINE

So glad I found this. Had to prove to my younger husband that I wasn't lying when I said Kenny was in a psychedelic rock band.
Oh yeah. Latter day Rogers fans who weren't around or didn't remember the 1960s found it hard to believe that he cut this slice of psychedelia in 1967 (song went to #5 in 1968) The next year they went to a country-rock format.
I saw them live in St. Joseph, MO, when this song was charting. Loved hearing it in the Big Lebowski.
Beth Norrod LOL - I'll bet he flipped out when he realized you were right.
Beth, my 5 yr younger hubby will be home soon....can't wait to try it out on him and see what he says. Sometimes he'll just look at me when i know all the words to a song that came out when he was just a toddler.
He never saw the Big Lebowski.
EDIT: Okay, that had nothing to do with it. (smack self upside the head)
What a great classic psychedelic-era rock song! Many say that this is Kenny's best song---and it is!
As a recovering drunk and part-time dope fiend, I play this to remind me how much fun I had.
A moment of silence for those who haven't heard this song yet.
i was just thinkin that....that aside, Im so thankful for all the movies pushing good music away from Oblivion
Absolutely because those people just haven’t had a complete life 😉
forward to your friends
I'm pretty sure that anybody born after 1990 has probably never heard this song

Best song Kenny Rogers ever did, my opinion l mean it.
I agree
The only great song he ever sang!

i love it

Gutterball. A Jackie Treehorn production. One of the most iconic scenes in cinema history
It sux
@@lisacipriani6105You're in a minority of one about that.
It must be horrible to have no appreciation for class?
It would have been interesting if Kenny Rogers had continued with this type of music. Frankly, this blows his later stuff away.
Kevin Franklin; He or his agent knew that fake country was where the money was.
He got better with age!
Where was he going to find more songs like this? He didn't write it. They didn't even play much of the highly-produced radio version.
@Sad but True The issue was "this type of music" and "more songs like this" versus what he did later. If you can write a song like this and as good as this every day, I'd like to hear or read a few of them.
Yeah when he went to those soft ballads from 1977-on is when I lost interest.

He was with teh New Christy Minstrels just prior to this
My conditition? I'm 62 and love this song take that for whats worth...
that rug really tied the room together, man.
Fucking A
Solid truth!
Shut the fuck up Donnie.
The dude abides.
how about a white Russian
On of the greatest artists of all time. Loved him as a rock star and lived him as a country music star. Rest in Peace, Kenny Rodgers.
Ruby and this was his best work
In 1968 I was 11 & I remember singing to this song thinking it was so different from the music of that tine......I love it & still do. Kenny at that time was a true 70's singer, he had the look down pat!!!! A fine looking man .
One of the best if not the best versions. Freaking love it. Never gets old.
Check ‘front country kitchen’ version
Awesomely epic
@@Torahboy1 just did! Still doesn’t compare to the original. The music n the whole thing put together is different fr this version. I might put my work down n listen to the original again
@@Torahboy1 nope- original was a masterpiece
@@Torahboy1 lol. 🤡
@@Torahboy1 It gets better as the years go by!
Kicks ASS !!!! What a great song, I heard it on a all country station & couldn't believe it was Kenny Rodgers
Yes he was! The Bee Gees wrote “Islands in the Stream”, handed it to Kenny, and Kenny tapped Dolly to sing it with him. The man was not only a great singer…he was brilliant‼️
Such great music back then... I'm grateful for that chapter of my life... FUN TIMES and so many memories.
Lyrics:
"I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles out of Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah"
Brilliant. Thanks.
Thanks what a ride!!
Unbelievable 😎👽😎💯💥🔥😂💢💖👀🏵️🎊🌸😸🤣👺✔️✅🎃🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️
I just dropped in 👋🖒
Thanks...the lyrics are even more trippy in print.
Another moment of musical magic from the 60's ! WOW
I've always loved Kenny Rogers no matter what music he played but I sure loved it when he played rock
A fantastic first hit for Kenny and the First Edition. It has the sound that was 1968. Great musicians. This group would have several hits!
His second best hit.
This was the music one Wanted to have head phones on as they blasted down the road doing 90 mph or so! BUT we Had No Such Gadgets to do it with...Bummer plus!
Classic song ❤️ Kenny Rogers 🤗🤗🤗
I never realized until just this moment what a masterpiece this song is.
It hooked me first time when it was first out. It was from my hippie days. glad you like it.
I just had that realization about An old fashioned love song.
Paul Williams was the man
I know, those key changes add such 'drama', and the band is killing it here
" found my mind in a brown paper bag" Sums up my early years
50 years late... but glad you made it... plus, it got better every time he sang it...
I listened to this one million times on vinyl when I was a kid. So did my neighbors...
I wore the damn thing out when I was a kid!
While burning sandalwood incense....
Mike, I would have been honored to be your neighbor, my friend. You got great taste.
And it just kept getting better every time. You have great taste. RIP Kenny
Great song!
Never knew Kenny Rogers sung this ....great song!!
You never knew Kenny Rogers sang this.
You never knew Kenny Rogers had sung this.
Heard this from "The Big Lebowski" and was hooked!!!!
I lived it! 😁
Same
I have a beverage!
Yeah, man ))) The same shit.
Strange to realize that Kenny "Islands in the Stream" Rogers sang one of the greatest psychadelic rock songs ever.
That was a BeeGees song actually!

YOUR OUT OF YOU ELEMENT KIMMY 😂
This song's been stuck in my head all day. What a drummer Mickey Jones was!
I thought the drummer looked familiar. I remember him as an actor but did not know he was a drummer.
Mickey was on Home Improvement ( tool time). " that would be me "
Construction crew. Lol
@Oscar Grouch the crooked mechanic in Vacation.
And I'm asking how much you got!
I love that smile when he hears the guitarist is in the zone.
I agree it's been on my mind all week

Mickey Jones the drummer was on Slingblade and Justified, I love this song
Also home improvement
And also played drums for Bob Dylan.

I'm 64 in 4 days, I know the song well🥁
So true!

Appeared on some 'Tool Time' bits in the show Home Improvement with Tim Allen.
I thought that was him.
one of the mechanics in "National Lampoon's Vacation" also
Sling Blade
home improvement also
This blows my mind. I only knew old country singer Kenny Rogers later in life.
I heard a different version of this on the radio at work yesterday, and I immediately recognized it.
As soon as I played it today, my daughter who is 11, immediately knew who was singing.
I can thank my mum for introducing me to Kenny when I was young.
I will always love him & his music. 💕
I'm 43 years old and I just learned that Kenny Roger's was not always a country star and that he played bass. I've seen Lebowski a hundred times and never knew
Kenny played bass in a jazz trio in Houston for a long while.Quite a great player

Lot of us in the 60s & 70s did not see a lot of these live videoes till later in our lives.. i was like 67 or so till i saw this video. I did see them in live concert in the 60s...we were albums & radio back then mainly, except what u mite see on TV
LOVED THAT SONG 🎵❤ 🎵 AND BAND
BACK WHEN KENNY WAS COOL 😎 😅❤❤
No lip sync, which is nice, 100% live, on TV and very rockin' and bluesy. A Young Kenny and The First Edition.
I knew of this tune, years before it was famously used the film THE BIG LEBOWSKI.
Newer Kenny Rogers fans over the years never realized that he cut this psychedelic number which went to #5 in 1968.
I like the girl in the hot pants and boots standing behind Kenny.
Muffs 55mercury And I liked him better in the psychedelic band.
@@sylviaross5486 Oh same here !
I met Kenny after that show.
We chatted, drank coffee, I autographed his guitar.
Then we went our separate ways.
Great song by Kenny, haven't heard it in years, like that guitar solo
That's Mickey Jones on the drums! We miss you Mickey, love all the characters you played in movies & TV series, you were a multi talented man, RIP my friend....
You're a bit late. It's been brought up about 75 times previously.
still one of my favourite tracks of all time.... reflective, introspective and utterly bizzare!
Thanks to the big lebowski and this song. I can never look at my stepdad the same. Being a big dude from the oilfield. And then being head of maintenance at a retirement facility. Plus an old hippie that loved his weed. I always think of him and laugh.
It’s crazy when ya grow up and realize WHO everyone really is/was.
@@jbizzle7616 Very well put, my friend.
So glad the dude introduced me to this song, it rocks man
he passed away today but his music will live thankyou for your talent and all your wonderfull songs!!
THIS SONG BRINGS BACK SOME BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES I CAN NOT REMEMBER .......LOL
😀😁😂😃😄 your comment cracks me up. I'm 68 and can definitely relate
Oh that's a great one!
I grew up with Kenny Rogers as a lame country singer in the 80s. Never knew he was such a badass rock star in a previous life.
Man This song brings a lot of good memories...Hard to imagine he looked like this in the time error..Thanks Kenny for all the great hits
I can watch this non-stop and never get sick of it. Mr Kenny Rogers is an Icon.
