Bob Burgess is my uncle and I grew up listening to him play and sing. He fostered my love of Van Morrison, The Animals and many more. It is so cool seeing this video. Thanks
@@wtmcgowinI've been trying to determine the first 'garage' track and it all goes back to Link Wray and Bunker Hill's collaborations. So it was born around 1962.
I used to walk my dog with him all the time as a kid. He always told me great jokes in the park. He told me about this tune a few years before he passed. I listen to it quite often to remember his positive smile. RIP Jurgen. My family misses you ❤️💐
I MANAGED / BOOKED / PRODUCED EARLY HAUNTED RECORDS WITH ORIGINAL GROUP INCLUDING SINGER BOB BURGESS. THIS VIDEO WAS DONE FOR CBC TV SHOW AND INCLUDED THE VAN AT THE END AT A GIG IN A HOTEL IN BELOEIL , QUEBEC . THE SAME 60 MIN SHOW ON YOUTH OF THE 60'S FEATURED ME AT MY RADIO SHOW PLAYING THE HAUNTED RECORD.

The first time that I heard this killer Montreal Canada '66 Punker was in 1982! I must have played it over a 100 times that night and I have never gotten tired of hearing it! Long live 60's Punk! The Haunted Rule!
Around that time for me too - a friend of mine and l would go to parties, cringe at the music, and substitute our Psych compilation cassettes, With this baby always getting people up on their feet!! I’ve heard so muc psych, but this is my fave of them all...
Garage rock open mike recordings of the 60's are nostalgic, simple and they have their own charm! The kids today listening to the hip hop and rap crap on their ipods don't know what they're missing!
@@vincentlussier8264 yawn... every generation says the music of their youth is better than the youth music of today. I'm sure if you open a music magazine from 1966, you'll see letters to the editor like "Edison cylinder opera recordings of the aughts are nostalgic, simple, and they have their own charm! The kids today, listening to groin-oriented jungle rhythms and mop-topped baby boys screaming inanities on their transistor radios, don't know what they're missing!"
A very cool song- one of those i just keep hitting the repeat key to hear it over and over! Such a great sound. I love the organ first then that harmonica, even though Im a guitar man! the 60's cant be beat
60s bands Incorporated the use of the organ and the harmonica it didn't disappear but it surely faded away as time rolled on into the 70s and Beyond oh that great sound of the Hammond B organ two awesome riffs come in mind one is the organ on The Doors Light My Fire and the other is the harmonica on the count five Psychotic Reaction just to mention a few
I've been hitting repeat myself for two hours now on this song!! Lol!!! I'm addicted!... Organ gets me every time. My favorite Zombies songs r "Leave me Be", n "Whenever you're Ready"..... Just brought up in reference to Zombies making good use of an organ. This song here's a Number One!
Yep, 1966 Sid and I was six when my older brother was playing this song on the record player among a zillion other records. This period of rock was the best!
This is on heavy rotation in my car at full blast. Can't stop myself singing along to it with an idiotic grin on my face. Tought myself to play it again on the acoustic over the weekend and my daughter likes it too now.
What!! It's been 3 weeks and no one has checked and written about this tune....that is hard to believe......this song rocks greatly. Also....I see that, the guys are from Montreal Canada ...they had a half of a dozen songs and I never heard of them.....this web deal is fantastic!! Thanks.
One of the greatest garage songs ever!!! As i have heard the single version is different than the album one! I concider myself lucky enough that i can feel something of the pureness and wilderness of that era, watching this video!
Simply bruisin'! The keys are period perfect. The fuzzed-up guitar gets it. The bass has that groovy "wooly" tone to it. The percussion is crisp and precise. The harmonica is bluesy and tough. I remember this one very well. This band and The Quiet Jungle (from Yorkville) were big medicine in Canada.
These guys were our favourite Band from Montreal, back in the day! Everywhere we went people asked us if we were ever going to do a double gig with them. It would have been a truly unique event (but it never happened) ! Lots of respect for them, tho'. Never got to see them "Live", as we were always gigging. D.J.Bingham The UGLY DUCKLINGS
Saw Haunted & Ugly Ducklings at Yonge Street when these bands were on top of their game Great scene back then drove up from New Yorkl loaded with weed no worries at the border we were stone cold relaxed & politeplus border people lacked tech detection
Wow, just stumbled upon this great band. Logit4 your way of syncing in short clips to make a full one is truly inspired and perfectly executed. Simply brilliant to behold ; )
This was a big song in NDG,,,,,saw these guys play several times ... and my friend Jerry Timmins ended up Drumming for them in the 70;s RIP Jerry... one hard rock steady drummer......
For the last 28 odd years I'd been thinking the opening lyrics were "Walking down the street on a four way tab, I saw a young girl standing under glass" .glad I finally got that straight .
I heard the opening lyric as: "Walking down the street on a four-way tab..." as in the blotter acid that could be broken into 4 pieces. Since this is a psychedelic song with wonderfully kaleidoscopic fragmented and obtuse lyrics it made sense to me that this would be the kind of stuff you might encounter after ingesting a four-way tab... but then again, I'm not Canadian! I love this song! We used to cover it in my High School garage band daze... "You got nothin' to lose, you're at a penny arcade..."
I believe that the lyrics are "Walking down the street on a foggy night--I saw a young girl standing under a light".... the French-Canadian accent is a tiny bit difficult to decipher regarding some English words... I think it's kinda charming, actually... :) (He is feeling confident about approaching a "lady of the evening", one might say....
th-cam.com/video/TCd_ze06T-E/w-d-xo.html A live version from 1989--Bob Burgess back singing the lead, as he did on the original 45. (Johnny Monk sang the one posted by blacflag) He splits the difference on a couple of words--taking a couple from his written version, and a couple from Monk's.
The haunted , the Rabble, Haymarket Riot , Attick dust, the Staccatos Gerry Butler were all part of the WestIsland Scene of the early 60's a great Era that and The Edgewater inn!! ;-) Lived in Dollard at the time .........
This tune's got it all -- great lyrics/vocals, great harp, great keyboards, great bassline, and lots of period-perfect guitar riffs. I reiterate -- KING TONE!
My old band, Competition Orange, did a fair cover of this one and The 99th Floor by The Moving Sidewalks. I dedicate this king tone to newer bands such as The Urges and The Strypes (both from Ireland). In memory of my amazing lead guitarist (Jimmy W.) who left this world at the age of sixteen during the early summer of 1967.
Yeah...I still see Bob Burgess once in a while at a local music shop.He works for CFCF 12 TV (CTV)station here in MTL.Classic punk band but still obscure.
Hey! Thanks for the heads-up, man! I'm hoping this tune gets some airplay on Little Steven's Underground Garage (or, maybe it has already). This tune still gets it, man! Best to ya!
CorneelB: I'd always heard the chords as G-C-A#-C for the verse and for the guitar solos, G-C-A#-C-C-F-G-F-D and back to G-C-A#-C. I STILL don't know why the song's called 1-2-5, though!
I saw them at the 1st of 2 rock concerts at the Autostade in 1970 (??). They blew the place down and played many songs from the "Are You Experienced" album by Hendrix. They were great. They were not outmatched by other bands like the Who, and Mitch Ryder. I can't remember the other bands (Our Generation maybe, a local band).
no better Canadian grunge song than this one! I notice the vid may be for a different song and repeats, but who cares..kudos to blacflag for posting all these gems

Was the best band in Montreal.
Nice!

Super
Your uncle rocks, dude.
Another great Montreal band from the 1960's. Better than most of the crap on the radio these days!!
***** I agree. It was the real thing, unlike the no talent bands of today.
If you look around there's still a lot of talent amidst the garbage... just stay pretty much away from the top 40s
There is no radio today! At least no Rock music!
Understatement of the eon.
Totally agree with you Robert Evans.
Nothing like good old garage rock n roll aka the grandfathers of punk rock, the ones who started it all and gave punk it's sound
and some of its attitude/snarl too
They totally did start it all.

@renem101 1-2-5 is the chord progression. The band said so in an interview I read somewhere, probably Ugly Things magazine.
Thanks for answering this question I was wondering since 35 years (Fuzztones). And thanks as well to Mike Stax for sure and as always.

First time hearing this, someone posted it in a music group I am in. Great tune.

Love Dave lambert’s voice. Great recording. Some great songs with the strawbs
‘Strawbs’?!
unbelievably great song and video ..thanks for posting
Nice footage!!! I bought their album in about '86...loved these guys, mostly kinda folky, but 1-2-5 was raw. Vapeur Mauve was pretty cool too.
The opening drum part reminds me of the Rolling Stones. Love the songs melody. Pretty good lead guitar too.
thank you for uploading this great tuuuununnnne.
you really rock!!!
Maybe the best garage of the 60`s song ever. Great!
There are equally good as this or even better maybe, but in the end it's a matter of taste. Anyways 1-2-5 is an absolute 💎
This song is badass.
Great late 60's R & B

Out of curiosity I looked for the 45 on E-bay. The Amy version just sold for $377.09. Of course it's the promo copy so that must justify it.
The Fuzztones version is also good too!!
"Go with God". Thank you for the music JP
I saw them at the 1st of 2 rock concerts at the Autostade in 1970 (??). They blew the place down and played many songs from the "Are You Experienced" album by Hendrix. They were great.
