The Lovin' Spoonful - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lovin' Spoonful is an American rock band which was popular during the mid-to late-1960s. Founded in New York City in 1965 by lead-singer/songwriter John Sebastian and guitarist Zal Yanovsky, it is best known for a number of hits which include "Summer in the City", "Do You Believe In Magic", "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?", and "Daydream". The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.
Formation and early years (1964-1965)
The band had its roots in the folk music scene based in the Greenwich Village section of lower Manhattan during the early 1960s. John B. Sebastian, the son of classical harmonicist John Sebastian, grew up in the Village in contact with music and musicians, including some of those involved with the American folk music revival of the 1950s through the early 1960s.
Sebastian formed the Spoonful with guitarist Zal Yanovsky from a bohemian folk group playing local coffee houses and small clubs called The Mugwumps, two other members of which, Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty, later formed half of the Mamas & the Papas. The formation of the Lovin' Spoonful during this period was later described in the lyrics of the Mamas & the Papas' name dropping 1967 top ten hit, "Creeque Alley". Drummer Jan Carl and bassist Steve Boone rounded out the group, but Carl was replaced by drummer-vocalist Joe Butler.
Great time to grow up to music like this.
Sebastian ; an Underrated Singer ,And ,Songwriter :
I miss those days of feeling like a seagull soaring through the clouds with my long hair flowing through the wind!
You betcha by golly wow, if there has ever been a single tighter than this one, I never heard it.
John Sebastian and the Lovin' Spoonful were a truly great band. The writing and songs were special and meaningful. Good time
Love this! Lot more energy than their studio versions.
The great Spoonful playing real live, saw them many times and Zal was always a trip RIP.
How about those 3 chicks @1:13 rocking their asses off.
I would say they're in to it!
That's when chicks were chicks!
@@GaryAa56 Now we have chicks with dicks, who don't rock, ha.
That's a hard driving rock band right there.
Tightest single in the history of rock. 2 minutes flat on the 45.
Gods of rock!!
I've loved them since mid 1960's. And the theme Welcome Back. I took my brothers 8 track tape by them. Haha it was pay back for taking 1 of mine!
Two classics right there😊
The Lovin' Spoonful - - LIVE ONSTAGE - - 1965 - - - listen to those harmonies - - better than their studio recordings wow - - ZAL Yanovsky ringing out on his GUILD FIREBIRD guitar - - Joe Butler on those the drums is so real - - JOHN Sebastian on his zither is wonderful and his voice is spot on - - STEVE Boone on his bass is groovin' - - nothing but feeling here !
This phone is crazy. I was trying to say this is the tightest single in Rock History.
3 complete verses, chorus, instrumental interlude and a fade, all in two minutes flat!
If there is a tighter single, I never heard it.
No, they don't both fit the bill.
One two minute single.
Just one.
I wish they had gone on longer. They could have definitely been the second coming of The Beatles. I love their enthusiasm (well, except for Steve who had that John Entwistle type of stoicism).
Good Job!!! ❤💋
thanks. fuzzy
They were such a great band , and John was a brilliant writer . Happy Days

Should have left in the initial false start on Magic. I think Joe was on the wrong beat in the first try.
the fellow at 1:18 is missing the point haha
Yup! Love this band, and have seen John Sebastian. Very cool :)
This is a perfect recording did you record this live or in person excellent job
Yes, great quality film Directed by Larry Peerce and distributed by American International Pictures. I did edit the false start by the band, and make minor volume adjustments for this post.

You KNOW you were “the sh*t” when John Lennon stole your complete look of the round glasses, sideburns and hairstyle…and kept one of your tunes on his home jukebox (Daydream.)

Thanks for helping me remember.

The wire rim glasses were first worn by Roger McGuin. We used to call them Byrd glasses. Lennon first wore wire rims in 1966 for film he was in. Roger ... 1965.
