@@robertcartwright563 exactly …it’s great that he had them on. Save the extended long versions for the FM album oriented rock stations that started to come about at this time.
@@truebetold65 Thanks. First off, I remember that we were disappointed that Sullivan wasn't there personally to do their introduction. I remember that an off-stage announcer did the duties. Obviously the number was simply spliced into the actual show with Ed's intro. The audience (probably around 200), were enthusiastic and seated in folding chairs around this makeshift stage in the middle of the casino. I remember we moved on shortly after the Chamber's number because this wasn't like a normal show with one act after another introduced by Ed.
Hands down, one of the greatest psychedelic rock songs of all time. Sadly, this band is overlooked by most of the ranking lists for the past 50 plus years.
I am a child of the Era and know all the music of that Era, but I am shocked never heard of this band. The eleven minutes version of this song is mind blowing
this is the kind of song that once you hear it, it changes your whole perspective on music. I remember hearing it for the first time, and it's still great
The 1967 single was a Top 10 near-miss in America, spending five weeks at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1968. In Canada, the song reached No. 9. It is now considered one of the landmark rock songs of the psychedelic era. 😊
One of the greats! First time I ever saw them do it live, and while it's the abbreviated version, I always thought the long version was _'too long'_ anyway.
Great song and a great band. People had more talent back then. They really knew how to play instruments and sing. They didn't have to pre-record or alter the sound of their voices. This was real talent. You're awesome my cousins!!
Looking back at the Ed Sullivan show, its amazing how bands had to cram long songs into TWO MINUTES. At least we got to SEE amazing bands, but can you imagine the stress of having only 2 minutes to make your mark in the world?
For those that weren't around I saw these guys in concert four times in South Florida and each time they put on a great show. They truly are brothers from Mississippi.
They play this song at my local Walgreens located on East Sunrise Blvd in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. It is played over the PA system in the store between the hours of 4 and 7 pm which is when they play music from the 60's. I guess they do it at all the other Walgreens stores as well. To say that it's an iconic song is an understatement. It takes me back to a time in which I hadn't even been born yet. It sounds crazy but it does. An amazing band from the 60's these Chamber Brothers.
1966 ~ Brother Marco and I played this when we were bored.. Mom used to yell at us to turn the damn RADIO down.... I don't know how we got this album we never had any money anyway... and so we survived our childhood.
I’m 75 and still love that song. I graduated high school the year of its original release. Young people rebelling and so intent on changing racial disharmony and bringing an end to the Vietnam war. A war in which over 58,000 young Americans died for absolutely nothing. One of the saddest times in American history
The guy that played bass on the record played at our wedding! We knew the music store they used to come to in Brooklyn. All musicians & the mom made their first outfits!
This is a good song. Everyone recognizes it. But I think the most remarkable thing about the song is the iconic studio version -- the production quality was excellent. It just had that vintage late sixties sound.
Man I always loved these guys! They were unique. I like their version of " People Get ready" I like the lead in this song. But all have good range. It's good to see Lester Chambers and son doing better after an experience of poverty.
Rest in peace to the great Joe Chambers
Who is still rocking to this jam in 2024 ?
HomeFront (2011)!
The crowd deserved the full version, a song that truly defined the era.
That's what I was thinking.
@@sunandsage Up North...poor bastards...Republic Of South Vietnam
No they don't it's Sullivan at least it's live. Time is expensive!
@@robertcartwright563 exactly …it’s great that he had them on. Save the extended long versions for the FM album oriented rock stations that started to come about at this time.
The tone of his voice is otherworldly awesome. Perfect pitch with just enough gravel at the end. One of the best songs ever. Great singer great band.
Well said!
Massively underrated band
They call his voice whiskey salt. Janis Joplin had the female version of whiskey salt. JUST AWESOME!!!!
Rest in peace, Joe Chambers…
The best of the best appeared on the Ed Sullivan show for decades, playing live without lip synching.
This was taped at the newly opened Circus Circus hotel in Las Vegas. I was with my parents watching this performance from the balcony.
That sounds awesome
I've always wondered where this was. You can see the slot machines at 01:54. Thanks for filling the blanks!
Was there a lot of people in the audience, what was the mood, and by the way you are a legend for just attending and your story.

@@Kelley32 Thanks you for your reply and it's still a legendary moment in history 👍🇺🇸
Brian Edmund Peter Keenan IS PHENOMENAL, AN GENIUS, A MASTERFULLY , AND FABULOUS BIG drummer!!
These guys were on another level.. freaking epic. One of the best songs of the era.
This was a great record and these guys were a great band.
Hands down, one of the greatest psychedelic rock songs of all time. Sadly, this band is overlooked by most of the ranking lists for the past 50 plus years.
You said it! They were just so exciting,in a way on the SLYville level from the shows I saw!
I am a child of the Era and know all the music of that Era, but I am shocked never heard of this band. The eleven minutes version of this song is mind blowing
I know; it's crazy.
I guess the drummer was a Brother of a different mother😊
Yes, and the line ‘my soul’s been psychedelisized was censored by that old fogey Ed Solomon. 😢
It is NOT possible to have "more cow bell." Iconic song.
I was thinking the same
You win the comments section
I saw them open for Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix at the Singer Bowl in NY in Aug. 1968. What a f'n concert!!!
right on !!
lucky :-)
Sweet: hopefully you still have the ticket stub
BEYOND epic ...(bowing to you now, as I am not worthy)
Wow 🤩!
My God, what a fabulous song. And a terrific performance here. It was great then and still is today.
This song burned the radio down. Fire.
this is the kind of song that once you hear it, it changes your whole perspective on music. I remember hearing it for the first time, and it's still great
One of the greatest songs to get high to when I was in Vietnam. It always brings back those memories of 1969.
thank you for your service!
@@valnaples Thank you!
Thank You, for Your Service!❤
@@margaritaramos3393 Thank you.
Thank you for your service
Rest in Peace, Joe.
When everyone was "whisper thin" because we all danced to awesome music like this.
This dude's voice is really magic in this song ,heavy lyrics too!!
Too short 😢 My soul hadn't been psychedelicized.
thank Ed Sullivan for thank censoring.
@@ronluckenbach9492 Huh?
Ed Sullivan was the Man! He debuted so MANY groups for the first time, like the Beatles, the Stones, etc etc
Brian Keenan was a criminally underrated drummer
Agreed!!
@@kitkat914 You mean Elton John? That's Elton John behind the kit
Yes, it is@@throwingstick
@@throwingstick I thought it was Micky Dolenz from the Monkees.
Oh, the cowbell...FANTASTIC!
Pas d'autre mot.....
My favorite from that album. The instrumentals remind me of the Ventures. You were wrong George RIP. Cool song. Thanks buddy.
Saw these guys live in 1974 ... awesome concert.
This song is playing on my radio right now November 1, 2023 at 3:54 PM. I love it I love it I love it. 😊❤
this song made me fall in love with the cowbell… lead singers voice is freakin awesome… great phrasing, bit of growl and great delivery!
Best use of a cow bell ever great tune
I heard this song on an album 58 years ago. It absolutely blew me away.... Such an innovation
1963?
@@Michel305 So much happened in the 60s that the years count double
I Remember watching this on the Ed Sullivan show when I was a kid. I remember my uncle saying “I always wanted to play lead cow bell in a band”.
one of the greatest songs of all time.
One of the greatest song endings of all time. A criminally underrated drummer that can keep time with the brothers..
Truly timeless.
I totally agree.
@@shabadoo24 The drummer, Peter Keenan, died young from a fatal heart attack, Oct. 5th 1985 at age 42.
Wow!!!! So good live!!! Love ❤️ this song!! Thank you Ed Sullivan for having them!

These are the COOL CATS of our generation. Listen to them sing 'PEOPLE GET READY'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He'll yeah❤😊
. First heard it 40 years ago.
Still blows me away.
Great song and a great band. People had more talent back then. They really knew how to play instruments and sing. They didn't have to pre-record or alter the sound of their voices. This was real talent. You're awesome my cousins!!
Don't know that people had more talent, but I think they really worked at maximizing that talent.
8 min song…2 mins on tv. That was the world I grew up in. 😮😢
Now it's a 2 minute song and 15 seconds on tick-tock
Fuxkin amazing😊😊😊
Omg lived this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!
Great band and great song (the long version is best, of course). Wish I could have seen them live.
That voice! Loved it then, love it now.
Hello Joan how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
A true classic!

Cowbell guy is killin it!
For those that weren't around I saw these guys in concert four times in South Florida and each time they put on a great show. They truly are brothers from Mississippi.
Every band should have a cowbell guy.
We need more cowbell!
Nothing says soul like a cowbell
Lester Chambers on cowbell
@@rockdrumr2772 Ahhhh Saturday Night Live. Christopher Walken!
GOTTA HAVE MORE COWBELL!
That was awesome, so glad it is preserved for all TIME!
Got to hear this once at 2 a.m. while taking a ride on Dr. Leary's orange spaceship. Definitely an "Experience".
When I saw this, & it said 2:07, I was thinking what the heck?
BUT they sure packed it in & delivered !
And that stage !!!
THIS. IS. A. SHORT. VERSION. OF. THE. ACTUAL. HIT. 🎵
I saw them perform at the NewportPop Festival in 1968. It was an experience to remember!😊
This song ignites my rebel spirit....this seems as, good a time, as any.
Godspeed, y'all.
Love it !! Saw them in the 70s @ Cabrillo College Santa Cruz open concert.
Good show.
Killer song loved it the first time the thousandth time and again today
Hell yes✌👍
Saw them in July of 69 at Newport 69 at Devonshire Downs in the San Fernando Valley. They tore the place up
THIS. IS. A. GREAT. VIDEO. OF. EM. LIKE. IN. 1970. WHEN. MY. NAVY. BUDDY. MIKE. AND. I. SAW. EM. 🎵
Waited impatiently for the 3 minutes of "our" music we got on Sunday Nights on the Ed Sullivan Show!
Love this song! I will never forget it!
No wonder the Ramones wanted to cover this 👍
Always loved this song!
Such a kick-arse song!
Amazing grace!
This was the short version of this fabulous classic.
Bounced an after ABA game after it in the later 70's, my fav song by them.
Never will a song be made like it
Just the ideal amount of cowbell.
questo pezzo mi ricorda un film sul Vietnam con Jane Fonda
che musica fantastica
Every band should Rock like these guys
I have just rediscovered this song, love just watching him sing it.

Great song--powerful drummer who has a Mickey Dolenz vibe about him!
Love this tune
i have never heard their songs before, what a loss for me.
9-30-2022.
Memories from Albuquerque. A radio station would play this song once a month.
They had another Mind blowing tune too. Love, Peace & Happiness.
This is outrageous....
Classic... Encore !
I saw The Brothers the night after I got married in October 1969 at Winterland in San Francisco. A great show and great time for music.
How did these guys not have more big songs?
they rocked so hard
Time Has Come Today is a great song off a great album.
I like their cover of In the Midnight Hour, Romeo and Juliet written by Lester Chambers, the guy on the cowbell.
GREAT SONG!!!
The best music EVER. We need to scrap today’s music and reprogram these songs for radio stations.
I have a fever. And the Chambers brothers have my prescription!😎
one great tune from my younger days! Awesome song!
There version of People get Ready on this album is unsurpassed in my opinion! Great Album and an excellent Band!
I’ve always liked So Tired, a slow bluesy tune. The Brothers natural harmony blends perfectly to reflect the sad, weary mood of the song.
Absolutely agree!
I remember watching this when I was little the first time it was on TV
loved this song and the drummer is great.
THe music is great! One of the greatest live performances!
Strong Voice
I’m 75 and still love that song. I graduated high school the year of its original release. Young people rebelling and so intent on changing racial disharmony and bringing an end to the Vietnam war. A war in which over 58,000 young Americans died for absolutely nothing. One of the saddest times in American history
I’m with you big brother, 10 years younger than you. Love this song when it first came out and still love it! Yes a sad time back then.
The guy that played bass on the record played at our wedding! We knew the music store they used to come to in Brooklyn. All musicians & the mom made their first outfits!
This is a good song. Everyone recognizes it. But I think the most remarkable thing about the song is the iconic studio version -- the production quality was excellent. It just had that vintage late sixties sound.
There are songs that everything comes together just right and it becomes a timeless masterpiece.
Like this.
Truth
Man I always loved these guys! They were unique. I like their version of " People Get ready" I like the lead in this song. But all have good range. It's good to see Lester Chambers and son doing better after an experience of poverty.
Loved the Chambers Bros. In the Midnight Hour, awesome.
Mr.Jimi use to love these guys.Toured together during his last year
