Wow! Your comment was 11 years ago. TH-cam was a toddler by then. Now that you're 33, how has life treated you? Still trying to emulate the 60s? Still like The Eyes?

This one, "When The Night Falls" (The Eyes) and "Midnight To Six Man" (The Pretty Things) "How Is The Air Up There?" (The La De Das) "Leaving Here" (The Birds)
@@geoffreymarsh6465 Many thanks. That's quite alright. My last name is German, but all of my relations (and ancestry) on my father's side were English. It must be those Tudors! Ha! Take care, good sir. Cheers! -- W
Great video montage of "Swinging 60s" London. Yes, the Who's first few records came out first, but they BOTH had a great sound. If you liked this, "When The Night Falls" is also great.
Fantastic this! I first got it on the LP Blink in the early 80s (Bam Caruso- send for fab poster; I did and it was fab too!) What an opening line too. The grey suede coat sounds gorgeous as well.....
The Bam Caruso Poster was unfortunately out of print when I bought my copy, however, I did manage to get the the "Scene but not heard" Comp of the Acetates though. cool.
yeah, i'm aware of that, it was released at the end of 65, late november, but poster referenced elevators, i don't think they're connected but i wouldn't say it was impossible that the eyes had heard of the elevators though.
I'd say "I Can't Explain" was more likely the inspiration but it does remind me of "You're gonna miss me", but I would doubt either band would have heard either's music at the time, small distribution, and yes Rocky recorded "You're gonna miss me" with The Spades before the 13th Floor Elevator's version...great tracks all.

Actually, Roky recorded "You're Gonna Miss Me" with his first group : "The Spades" before recutting the song with the Elevators. Not sure of dates, but guess it'd be 1965 at some point. Almost impossible The Eyes would have heard it ;-)
Fab track, fab band. Come to Jersey on 27 Feb 2014 and see a great 60s cover band called Divine Toe play this and other tracks from Creation, the Art, Family, Audience etc. It's gonna b a great nite!!!!!
don't know if the Who/Kinks influenced these guys, they were all on the same scene @ the same time. killer track by a killer band!! * * * * * all the way!! Lee Liverpool Mods.
good point. Clash City Rockers actually sounds like the Who's famous song...(sorry my mind has gone blank...) i don't think Strummer was familiar with this band but Jones was into garage rock.
This also sounds like The Nazz's "Open my eyes" does anyone have The Eye's version of "Stepping Stone"?? I've heard its very rare and I can't find it anywhere.
'i cant explain' was released in 65, and this in 66, but when was it written....being honest this and 'when the night falls' were better than anything the who ever done.
The Clash, I think, kind of had a healthy knowledge of rock n roll, not entirely, but enough, it sounds like they borrowed this riff for 'Clash City Rockers?'
+Derek Trotter The Eyes were well ahead of their time. This track was released as the B side of When The Night Falls on November 5, 1965 - 50 years ago. Clash City Rockers was released in February 1978.
@truethought62 - Yes, I actually own that LP. Nice try, and give 'em credit for good taste, but the Eyes original version is considerably better. As far as the geneology of the main guitar riff, it's clearly based on the Who's "Can't Explain", which in turn is based on the Kinks "You Really Got Me", which can be traced back to the Kingsmen "Louie Louie"...

Once a Mod, always a Mod
Expected Roger to start singing..."I got a feelin' inside..."
I love the guitar tone. Loud clean tube sound!
+Mike Simmons sounds like early Townshend.

Sounds like "I Can't Explain" by The Who. 60's music was the best!

Very Cool !!!!! Like !!!!!!
Definately "You're gonna miss me" ...a hint of "Can;t Explain"...but which came first?? And does it even matter, it's all a brilliant songs!!!
This song brings so many feels LOVE IT
@gatefoldrecords - as far as i'm aware this was first released in nov. 65, and elevators 'you're gonna miss me' was first released in jan. 66

once again, lovely combination of music-images!! This song is as good as the Who's in which is "inspired"!!!
A garage Can't Explain - brilliant!

can't explain where i've heard that riff...
GREAT SONG. LOVE THE CHORD PROGRESSIONS!!!!!!!!! Must be a great tube amp. LOVE IT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING SUCH A FAR OUT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAHHH!! This is the original video for this classic track?! YES!!! F*ckin' classic!
What a fun video to watch and listen to.
I remember this time......yep, i'm OLD!!!

retrogorilla And the kilker flip of the killer "gonna miss me" is a rip of the kinks "come on now".
Beautful footage!
Great tune, nice drums!
lovely footage man!
Nice tune, thanks.
Hell yeah

simple and great :D
anybody remember the Stepford Husbands version of this song (on Cryptovision) in the mid 80s?
This melody sounds so like 13th Floor Elevators - You're Gonna Miss Me, I keep expecting to hear the elec jug.
R Rongey what melody?
the sound of the crazy 60s
I AGREE WHAT A TIME

you got all you want you couldnt be no higher ,
I can't explain....
top tune
this was news to me, but it appears you are right.
I listened to this once and drove my car into a swimming pool
Da Ooo!
Sweet
Love the ladies fashions and cute short hairstyles. Where did the video come from?
Tara-- a 1966 ITV UK short films "This is Life" did a whole series, this one on Carnaby Street London.
Move around the room to this one
Yes, and I still have the record.
Make a real independent statement; make your own fashion--from whatever era you choose. Vintage shops are the best!
yeah i agree!
This also sounds like The Nazz's "Open my eyes" does anyone have The Eye's version of "Stepping Stone"?? I've heard its very rare and I can't find it anywhere.
cant explain pre dates this
Uber mods.....heavy Kinks(You Really Got Me) influence for sure
Clash was ten years later.
@johnnydeve Yeah I think you're right, thanks man been trying to find it for ages :D
'i cant explain' was released in 65, and this in 66, but when was it written....being honest this and 'when the night falls' were better than anything the who ever done.
I really love this track but respectfully disagree, person.
Clash City Rockers!
oh the clothes
This footage is like fucking psychedelic Pretty Woman.
"you can bury me a mod"......
want to shop there
classic grove
Some things are so good that most things look like shit a mod sets the rules and it can not beaten .
The Clash, I think, kind of had a healthy knowledge of rock n roll, not entirely, but enough, it sounds like they borrowed this riff for 'Clash City Rockers?'
yeah, i can believe that, usually the case
I think it sounds like Clash City Rockers by The Clash

+Derek Trotter
it's the other way around.
The guitar riff is inspired by The Who's ''I Can't Explain''.
When Britain 🇬🇧 was cool 😎
I swear the shop in the beginning of this vid is in Carnaby street.
@TheFacelessK which is itself a take of The Who's "I Can't Explain."
The attack on the chords is something typically British. It's not the Kinks or the Who. Electric dynamite, it can always be better.
@truethought62 - Yes, I actually own that LP. Nice try, and give 'em credit for good taste, but the Eyes original version is considerably better.
As far as the geneology of the main guitar riff, it's clearly based on the Who's "Can't Explain", which in turn is based on the Kinks "You Really Got Me", which can be traced back to the Kingsmen "Louie Louie"...
I heard Lewis Collins was once in this band... is that true?
Carnaby Street , London...enough said
those who know
Sounds a little like The Who's "Can't Explain" in chord progression.
Teeny bopper coppy cats .
English band?
what does "Rowed Out " means? thanks.
goorook I take it to mean " Im pissed off" or "fed up with you"??
goorook
To get shot of; rowed him/her/it out. London slang, still use it to this day.
@gatefoldrecords Yes
sounds a bit like 'clash city rockers' by the clash,,the start or it...
Ich vermisse Kassel und die "Mutter" ;_;

no. style it 200% brit here.
We all dress in such a staid and boring fasion today by comparison.
Excellent video! Congratulations, Blacflag!
