It is good version but Barry McGuire is on a totally different level (also both recordings apparently feature same same backing track so they differ only in vocals)
This is the first time I've heard Jan & Dean's cover. What's very interesting is the backing track is the same as the one used in Barry McGuire's version. Excellent cover and it still reflects the crazy stuff that's going on today as it did nearly 60 years ago.
This tune was brought to the Byrds in 1965, but they turned it down. It then went to Turtles and Jan & Dean. Barry took influence from the way Jan sang the tune, and the rest is history.
Barry McGuire was the FIRST to sing and release this song as a record. P.F. Sloan wrote it. Later it was recorded by The Turtles and Jan & Dean. Barry McGuire's version was released by accident after just his first attempt to sing the song.
I've never heard this version in my entire life. It's like they took Barry McGuire's music and then they just saying over it just like they did with California Dreaming With The Mamas & the Papas and Barry McGuire still very interesting
This sounds like the exact same backing track of the McGuire version. Sorry, but Barry McGuire is the only one who could sing this and be taken seriously. He OWNS this!
1965 was the dividing line between early 1960s American pop music and mid-to-late 1960s changes brought by folk music, Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Eric Burdon & The Animals, and the rest of the British Invasion stars.
This cover d oesnt work for me... Barry Mcguire is a tough act to follow. To much of a Mike Love thing going on here.... Even with the little up date like 8 in space and Watts Cal.....

Right?
@@ptalbany This version is better imo.

the 3.41 video ''20Twenties: Eve of Destruction'' by Daily Maverick
What a great version.
Okay, I'll listen to his version. Thanks for the heads-up.
This is the first time I've heard Jan & Dean's cover.
What's very interesting is the backing track is the same
as the one used in Barry McGuire's version.
Excellent cover and it still reflects the crazy stuff that's

Changed lyrics to "8 days in space from 4 days" and of course from Selma Alabama to Watts California

Jan and Dean!
Just go surfing -- you''ll feel fine again.
😂
War is an ill thing, as I surely know, but it would be an ill world for weaponless dreamers if evil men were not now and then slain -Rudyard Kipling
I wonder how the audience would have reacted if Jan and Dean had performed this at one of their shows.
Good too. !

That's definitely the McGuire track.Ill have to look it up,but they used to do that a lot back then.Do a song and then get different singers on it.
Just looked it up.Jan and Dean released it on one of their albums and they used McGuire's track,per Wikipedia
They singing on a backing track...oh well it is what.it.is
Jan did something very interesting and powerful, substituted Watts for Selma.
This sounds like the exact same backing track of the McGuire version. Sorry, but Barry McGuire is the only one who could sing this and be taken seriously. He OWNS this!
I agree same backing track.......the Wrecking Crew.
Indeed
@Rusty Shackleford it is the same backing track.look it up on Wikipedia.
No, the guy who wrote it owns it- PF Sloan.
It's called a cover.
Voces mao sabe nada de passado
HI Wib. I'm disappointed that Jan had low regard fro the counter culture and the anti-war movt. How do you knwo that?
This is really uncharacteristic for them, with the Dylanesque harmonica. I would not have know it was them from listening to it.
1965 was the dividing line between early 1960s American pop music and mid-to-late 1960s changes brought by folk music, Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Eric Burdon & The Animals, and the rest of the British Invasion stars.
And they used the same backing track as Barry McGuire's original version.
Lol it sounds like Little Jerry & The Monotones from Sesame Street!
Destruct...shuunn? Poor second, I'm afraid.
he does sound like he doesn't like the song.
This is actually Barry McGuire singing it instead of Jan Berry.
Brett Koeshall no
That is totes not McGuire
This cover d oesnt work for me... Barry Mcguire is a tough act to follow. To much of a Mike Love thing going on here.... Even with the little up date like 8 in space and Watts Cal.....
This is not Jan and Dean. It's Barry McGuire.
This is Jan and Dean's version. Not as good as Barry McGuire's version. Both use the same backing track musicians.
You're absolutely wrong.
WILLIAM TELL it us Jan and dean honest I had the album stolen from me it’s one of my favorite

A poor choice for the boys to record.
