I was at Desert Trip 2016 with the Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Beatles, Neil Young and some other guy. During intermission they played "Up in Her Room", it was so frickin cool!
Later that night at the dinner table, all over this great land, ten year old Billy announces "I want to grow up and be like Rick Andridge, drummer for the Seeds."
Three keyboard players who gave their groups an easy to identify "sound":Daryl Hooper of the Seeds,Rod Argent of the Zombies, and of course Ray Manzarek of the Doors.....
Great choices and I met all three of them. I hung out with Darryle for a while. Met Ray. And with Rod, I was in the restroom early where they were going to play because I was working there. Rod walks into the ladies restroom and starts to wash his hair upside down in the sink. We chat. When he left I thought oh I should’ve said “but Rod you told us to hold our heads up”!
Actually, the Doors pretty much copied the Seeds in their first year prior to their first album and fame; Ray Manzarek coped his double keyboard sound, playing bass lines with his left hand directly from Darryl Hooper of the Seeds.
@@procopiojrpalacios9702 I was 21 in 1967. But I ended up hanging out with him in 2015. After I saw them open for the doors in 1967. I ended up meeting Rod Argent and Ray also. I talk about it on my Facebook page sometimes
I think that The Seeds "performing" a song as blatantly pro-marijuana as "Mr Farmer" on a teen-oriented, after-school television show that was both hosted and produced by Dick Clark is pure genius! Up there with the post performance 13th Floor Elevators ("You're Gonna Miss Me") being interviewed by Dick and dropping blatant "druggy" references and playing off Clark's actual questions with some epic "veiled references"
They must have been the first band to grow hair past their shoulders. And they were doing that in 1965! That was a frontier level the British bands hadn't even reached yet!
This is actually from 1966, not 1967 (we know how 6 months time during the sixties would see another revolution in looks and sound! ) : Sky had just trimmed into a Stones bowl, but the others still sport their longest hair around from the first album; Jan still wears native red indian hairdo, Daryl looks like a Renaissance musician and Rick… he looks like a forerunner to the Ramones! The Seeds’ Future the next year would see them cleansed, tammed and apparently groomed for success… that failed!
I SAW THIS SHOW EVERY AFTERNOON,IT WAS ON,& STARTED AS JUST A SUMMER VACATION SHOW,BUT DICK CLARK AN ASSOCIATE OF ABC TV.HE DECIDED TO PRODUCE THIS SHOW,HE LIVED IN MALIBU,CALIFORNIA AND THE OCEAN WAS RIGHT THERE,& SINCE HE WAS ALREADY DOING AMERICAN BANDSTAND ON SATURDAYS,EVERY SATURDAY BEFORE LUNCH HE BROUGHT THESE BANDS TOGETHER ON THESE 2 SHOWS,& THE ONLY RADIO THEN WAS AM RADIO,FM RADIO HAD NOT BEEN CTEATED UNTIL THE PSYCHODELIC ERA WHEN EVERYONE WAS GETTING HIGH,& THESE HARD ROCK BANDS STARTED TO APPEAR ON THE NEW RADIO FORM, FM RADIO.
El album A Web of Sound es un caso parecido al Da Capo de Love ... Tiene seis temas Punk Psicodelico ; uno de ellos es un blues que lleva un solo cortito de organo que es una maravilla y en la B ... Dos temas , el largo Up in her room , es bueno pero un tanto repetitivo , se hace un poco pesado ... Valla titulo !! , qué harian en la habitación ?. Un saludo .
As early as 1965, they were exploring a new frontier in hairstyles that even the British bands hadn't gotten to yet. Then in 1967, like everyone else (Beatles, Stones, Turtles, Byrds, etc)---they said, "eh--maybe we're freaking middle America out too much--let's cut it a little bit". The problem was, barbers in those days didn't really know how to cut long hair to make it look good, so when they did, especially the drummer, had poorly cut bangs. But even there, it was still too freaky for middle America, who were still sporting crew cuts, and by 1969--they all said--"man, what's the use? let's let it all hang out---and everybody REALLY started growing some hair!"
Yes, he was a full-blooded Cherokee. His real name was Buck Jan Reeder. He passed away Aug. 5, 2020. Cause of death is unknown at this time. He would have turned 78 in October.
Beatles clones - Why did the think that would work? I get that this was David Axelrod's band and that they were stooges for him but he should have judged better. A full on long hair band was called for and less of the POP notion. His next effort was amazing - Songs of Innocence was perfectly judged for the new Era. If he's had a band behind that with lyrics they could have been huge. It's an amazing album. Luv and Peace.
Tunes such as this helped usher in the 1967 Summer of Love. Without them that summer could have been on a different track.
I love it when bands are clearly higher than clouds
Thats when they make the best music

Billy had great taste. Rick was a great guy. We corresponded many times until his untimely death. He is greatly missed.
That’s what I said, for sure.
Yeah , Billy doesn't want to be Tommy Aldridge, he wants to be Rick Andridge.

Also, Daryl Hooper claimed to be 200 years old back then. We teenyboppers bought it, of course... He should be over 250 by now...!

This is definitely my most favorite Seeds tune. Love the lyrics with those weed growing references in it. Jah mon! 😎👍
Agree, Agree, Agree!
Nope, it is "Up in her Room"!!!
Fantastic trippy keyboards, i love them!
Great tune. It's on the "Almost Famous" soundtrack . soundtrack of my youth. Greetings from sunny 🌞(not) Scotland
i like how his voice sounds. i dont know how to describe it, it goes with the overall flow of the music really well.
Whiney, nasally and feline - meeeoooww
Sounds like Sonny Bono/Bob Dylan
Hes just a badass thats it
Snotty...
proto snotty punk singer
Fantastico groovy. Amazing, out of sight!
Seeds siempre esplendidos😊
What a cool bunch of dudes super cool

Twist up rock on ✌️👍
GREAT !!!!!

Yea true,can we credit them with ushering in the hippy movement ?
@@Gos1234567 Well, when they were the first band to use the term "flower power" and were the role models for the Doors--why not?
The seeds and shrooms , the best .

As stated, the EPISODE is from Feb. 16, 1967. They usually taped segments about 3 weeks before airdate, so late January 1967.

Barbers had it tough in the sixties
Can you imagine trying to run a barber shop in Haight Asbury back then? 🤣🤣🤣That's one broke barber!
What kind of keyboard is that? How do they get that tone?
The organ looks like a Farfisa Compact. The piano - I don't know.
@@soepil Piano is a Wurlitzer
Hall of Fame?????????????????????????????
EWE! YUMMY lol 💋👍🔱
Surely these druggies were jailed by the police.
How long does hair take to grow? When did Hooper start to grow his hair, 1950?

Was the guitarist actually Native American?
Yes, he was a full-blooded Cherokee. His real name was Buck Jan Reeder. He passed away Aug. 5, 2020. Cause of death is unknown at this time. He would have turned 78 in October.
Think he went by Jan "Savage" in those days... Hmmm.
Yes. Carl Belknap (Seeds drummer summer '68)
It's so bad it's good.

What are you talking about? Nothing like The Beatles.
And Axelrod has zero to do with The Seeds. You are probably thinking about The Electric Prunes?
@@countfive1511 yeah how is this like the Beatles?
you're a fool.
That's the birth of california sound los Angeles, San franvisco rtc
Also what are you talking about, the seeds WERE pretty huge
Well, as a song, that one sucks.
Thanks for clarifying that this was a song.
@@richieboy6825 no problem, that “song” was horrible. Now you know it was supposed to be a “song”.
How much did you suck in 1966? Probably a lot. And if you weren't alive then, you suck twice as much. Sucker.
