  • Thank you to our patron Ford Prefect for this awesome pick. This was utterly transformative back in the day I am guessing.... because even on the eve of 2024 this shit just ROCKED my world. All three of the solos were amazing. I see why y'all were so pissed at the single version of this. That shit is just the chorus! This is an entire new song. So damn good.

    In '68 you couldn't play the long version on AM (conventional) radio but no self respecting FM (alternative radio then) would dream of playing the short version.

  • @silvertube52
    @silvertube52 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +37

    Radio was so different in 1968. I remember the DJ on WABX in Detroit playing this all through and then saying, "Let's hear that again" and playing twice. So almost 40 minutes of the same song. There was AM and FM radio, AM was mono and played short hit songs, FM was "underground" in stereo and played whatever they wanted. It was an amazing creative time for popular music with an emerging media to play it.

    Fun fact: According to Lee Dorman,.. Bassist. They came into the studio,.. Engineer Don Casale wanted to do a sound check. So he said run through the song. The band proceed to play it. What they didn’t know was that he had pushed the record button. When they finished,., he said “ come into the control room,.. i want to show you something.”,…, hence,… One take!!! In the middle you can hear i assume Erik Braunn messing or toggling with knobs or something. The rest is history. Raw and uncut. Iconic. Grand reaction.

      In response to religious comments if you don't realize the bible was written in an apocalyptic poetic style it's difficultto understand. For instance, when it said the Earth was void and without form in Genesis. that doesn't mean what most people conjur up in their minds. It meant no one was in covenant with God no one was keeping His word. Just an example.

      Lee, you should also check out the extended movie release of 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival, two years before Woodstock, and, really, THE concert to have been at. I was 5 years old and lived only 60 miles from Monterey then, but, damn, I missed this concert! First time Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Who played America. The first time anyone saw Janis Joplin, and your jaw would just drop as she did Big Mama Thorton's BALL AND CHAIN. There was also Eric Burden; Country Joe and the Fish; Otis Redding (just before he tragically died); and a whole bunch of others.
      Check out the fashion in the movie. This was when hippie were still the COUNTER culture - the original hippies of the Haight-Ashbury, in fact, held a DEATH OF HIPPIE: Devoted Son Of Mass Media parade the very next year, 1968, when this song came out. It was still counter-culture in the 1960s, but it was appropriated and cheapened in the 1970s and therefore died out.

      It was an amazing time of experimentation. They recorded on the ATCO label who pushed lots of new sounds. A worthy subject to study. Remember this is after Jefferson Airplane and Hendrix and Cream and Mothers of Invention etc. Their underlying reliance on some classical snippets shows the breadth of their thinking. In the long version there was even a few bars of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen “.

    Unless you don't know any better because a patron directed you to the single edit, if you have a choice between a 10+ minute song and a 3 minute edit, always go for the long version.

Led Zeppelin's John "Bonzo" Bonham's MOBY DICK, of course. The drummers of the 1960s all learned from the jazz greats. Other post-60s notables: Yes' Bill Bruford, Rush's Neil Peart, and Tool's Danny Carey - excellent technicians all.

    "Sons Of Champlin" - the album 'Loosen Up Naturally' 1969 and the songs 'Freedom' or 'Get High'. (Although 'Get High' has a gimmick it is a very interestingly constructed song that will satisfy what you are looking for.)

    "It's a Beautiful Day" 1969 and the songs 'Hot Summer Day', 'Wasted Union Blues'...then you'll be ready for 'Time Is'.
