My dad's favourite song. He could spend all day long listening to this, and Child in Time of Deep Purple. He passed away 3 years ago. God, how I miss him! He was truly a good person, father and last but not least, my friend.
In the military barracks in Germany, around 1971, high as a kite on hashish. This song playing on a thousand dollar stereo setup, bass turned up, the band crawls inside your head and makes itself at home. You are one with the music. 5 or 6 guys in the room , no one saying a word, all just knodding our heads to the beat. Thousands of miles away from home, but we are at peace with the world.

I love the Story too sheen I discovered this song I was 17 in Morocco..Casablanca..smoking HASH we call it The DOuble Zero is it the best and now I live in Maryland..USA and your story my GOD it likes I was With you Guys ..love from Morocco
Another wonderful example of the overwhelming musical talent of the 60's and 70's. This band and it's music was overshadowed by other bands marketing machines. But real music NEVER dies and this is an example of talented musicians / writers making REAL music that's timeless. That's why we're all still enjoying this music in 2023, because it's timeless and REAL!
Avec l'argent on peut tout acheter sauf notre santé et notre jeunesse 🕺. Ce soir j'ai les larmes aux yeux en écoutant cette chanson😪... Souvenir souvenir lorsque tu nous tiens 😤💉... Une jeunesse des années 70/80 à Paris🗼qui resteront gravées à tout jamais au fond de nous-même... Un grand bravo 👏à tous ces grands artistes qui ont su nous faire vibrer l'âme et chavirer le cœur💕. Amine d'Alger 🎩.
There is a Moody Blues concert here on YT that took place in Paris in 1968. You can experience those long gone days and watch people dancing right by where the band was set up. It’s a great performance.
c'est vrai pour pour aussi ,je fréquentait le club pierre charron la haut des champs Elysée une tres bonne boite de nuit comme de jour aussi , plus le golf Drouot et d'autres , belle époque pour moi ;
Avec l'âge, tout s''oubli @@hubertserge4333 sauf les souvenirs de notre jeunesse 😞. En tous cas il y a une très grande différence entre le monde d'hier et celui d'aujourd'hui d'où cette hypocrisie, le mensonge et toutes ces fausses personnes…
Still giving me chills, after more than 50 years. This was my very first LP, and I played it non-stop. 😊 Never even heard the flip-side ( that I can remember ) 😂
I’m 60 and been digging this tune since I was 14. I’m a white dude. Turned on to this by a black co worker back in the 70s. We didn’t what color we were, we had joked and fun. Miss the big afros.
I first heard this awesome song when it came out in 1969.. Rare Earth was great then and they are still great some 54 years later!!! Not many groups can outlive the generation they came out with!!! Rare Earth hangs in with Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Rolling Stones and others!!!! ROCK ON!!!!
Wow 1969 or 1970 when I first heard this Beautiful Album my older brother’s was listening to song and I ask one of my brother’s Horace we call jr he said to man Beautiful music I said to him Junior I like it that yeah today I’m 60 years old. Thank God my family my wife my kids still a beautiful song. Today 2024 Thank you my brother always miss you but thank you for putting me onto your beautiful music still sounds great today. Love you my brother thank you till we meet again one love Lil Brother, Tim “BROOKLYN” East New York for life.
Remembering the days but this one right here..1971 about to give Birth now she's 50 I'm 70 Rona Season but Almighty God Got Us I Believe You must Get Ready Be Ready At All Times.. Thank You for bringing this Forth
God got me to Joe, I am a a gospel music lover now but the music we had back in the day was irreplaceable. Some time I go back listen to that Motown sound.
@@gloriosobotafoguense Another big hit in 1970, mid summer - early autumn of , was Flaming Emperor's " West Bound # 9 " which was recorded early summer of 1969 , became a big hit a year later , when , I was 13 years old ; great dance tune !
They still make music like this, but mainstream radio stations rather play music which the masses can consume and don't trigger responses of inspiration or admiration. Just like modern art and architecture slowly replacing true masterpieces. We are approaching the state of the world sketched by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World and people longing for true artistry are slowly but certainly becoming the feared minority.
This was my dad's favourite song, he was a true old school fan of disco, soul and 70s rock and roll. He passed away last year but I swear pieces of him live on through music like this
Same here, I used to cry when my dad favorites were the radio or when I listen here, now it makes smile and loving the happiest of all his music memories! To our dads❤
Thanks. Memories of my younger days. 73.5 now, lol. Oh, the days of pot, acid, ampheds, sopors, etc. What a time it was to be a hippie in the 60s & 70s, Woodstock. I barely survived. All thanks to God. Yes, I'm still here at age 73.5. Most of my old friends are not, RIP. Thank God for every breath & heartbeat.
These guys didn't get the recognition they deserved they are top shelf funk masters of rock. I was a young kid when I first heard this I knew from then on I wanted to do this but never heard this version just radio play long story short they were my inspiration they are still #1 to me. Thank you for posting 2thumbs up.
Morceau sublime ! je l'écoute au moins deux fois par an depuis 50 ans. Pureté du son, rythme implacable ( bravo au batteur) Ce morceau est l'un de mes 20 préférés dans ma discothèque. Paix à tous les membres disparus et keep on rocking pour le groupe actuel
Absolutely some of the best music ever made. Sadly, "screaming" instead of actually having a voice and singing took over and then "rap" came along and it was all downhill from there. Rare are the songs these days that are worthwhile actually listening to, music wise, skill wise, lyric wise.
In in my late 60's now and still enjoy listening to Rare Earth. Used to drag up and down main street on a Friday night and all I really liked to listen to was this band and Grand Funk Railroad on my 8 track through some Kraco speakers. Say what you want, but I think we had the best Rock 'n' Roll in the 70's.
I actually like all the long versions like CCR"s "I heard it through the grapevine", Vanilla Fudge's, "You keep me hanging on". Especially Rare Earth's "I know I'm losing you", love watching the videos of them playing on stage.
I'm now 65 learned to love rare earth in the seventies, because of my neighbor! Nate, in Memphis on Orleans and Lucy st. Nate has since passed on , but when ever I hear this I'm reminded of him and his herb of choice,!!!!RIP nate ( My mom said his music was to loud, but I loved it)
It was, it is, and will be forever a true MASTERPIECE not only in rock music but in THE MUSIC. One of my 10 favorite songs of all time. Greetings my brothers & sisters in rock from Bucharest, Romania!
I first heard this masterpiece at the age of 16 and 52 years ago, and I was overwhelmed with excitement ... and now that I am 68 years old, I hear it with the pleasure of that time, and I get the passion and desire to dance and move. .. Excellent and unique ...
This song crafted when whites emulated sounds and rhythms unfamiliar to them outwardly. But inwardly they resonated to these 'new chops' and mellowed out and cut loose. We were taught this by the GODS, themselves. Try to call one of them goofy-assed Sambo now, and fear the asswhipping!
I was in high school catching the bus to go to school and I played it all the time unfortunately as I was playing it I had to go in school because the song was too long but I put my record player will my MyPlayer on pause after that I should get ready here I come
Oh my goodness my older brother played this and I just danced and danced. Im in my 60 ‘s now and still loving it. I have the vinyl and will purchase from iTunes for my car
Had a 1970 blue LeMans convertible....The day Elvis died.. me and my best friend .. sat on an OLD bridge out in the woods . . And drank a fifth of JD ....and cried.. y'all . I.. I rarely cry.. ..
Had this exact 8 track in my 1972 Toyota Corolla 1600 Coupe, and my other tape was Sly and the Family Stone...Let me tell you, i played this a zillion times and still love it,,,gives me a rush every time the tempo kicks in,,,oh yeah!!!
Born in 1950, you do the maths.... Loved that tune then, love it still, right along with the public recording of "I am a man" by Chicago and "All right now" by Free...!
@@wimpeters9615 ... thanks for the compliment 😊 ....but it was my music.era... she was more of a Sinatra/Dean Martin coroner's etc... It was my generation that brought in all that great rock music /heavily blues influenced. Ma'aan we had the best music through the 60s and 70s.... l'm still rocking it for the youngsters now. I love to make great Playlists and blast them for today's kids. The more l play my tunes... the less of their downer/trash/hate/crap of their's we all don't have to hear 😊
I was one hot chick (but not a mama) of 20 years old when this song was a smash hit. Now I'm 71 and I still rock out to it - yeah, I can still move those hips!
Drummer and lead singer was my little league coach. I used to get to hear him play his set in his son's room. Great dude. Massive hands and lungs. Great song with great solos.
I was 11 almost 12 when I first heard Rare Earth back in 1970. Pete and the men of this band blew me away. Pete the great drummer he is, could also belt out a tune. Especially on this song. Now that's talent to play drums and also sing. John Parrish (Persh) killed it on the bass. His solo knocked my boots off. It's a shame he was an underrated bass player. Every one got a turn to solo on this song to show their skills and talent. Great job. My favorite song ever in my life time and I'm now 65.
Ray Monette on guitar, his solo was kick ass. Gill Bridges on saxophone was "bitchin". He made the tambourine sound cool. And Mark Olssen on organ phenomenal. A fantastic band all the way around.
Cleveland, Ohio here. Now this is from my era. I love You Tube for letting people post all types of music. Young people don't know anything about groups like Rare Earth. This is real music.🎷🎸🥁🎺🎻🎹📯
I saw this group in concert in the very early 70’s in New Orleans. The short version was always one of my favorite songs. The extended version blew me away.
Escuchar la música de cuando fuistes joven los recuerdos me llegan como cascadas de agua y pienso caracoles el corazón no envejece el cuero es lo que se arruga,lo anterior quiere decir que soy un adolescente de 71 años,saludos desde mexico
No way is this any kind of sound from the 60s. This was the 1970s baby, and it is still some of the best damn music out there today. Classics - forever and ever.
Right on brotha to both of you Including you 2 grease-man 👍👌😊!!! One of the all time great Long live jams ever recorded !! " inna godda da vida " by the " IRON BUTTERFLY " another long time playing great song, and who could forget long verson TIME HAS COME TODAY BY THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS--- also REFRIED HOCKY BOOGIE by CANNED HEAT from their double album LIVING THE BLUES; "took both sides of 1 of the records" Must of been the longest songs ever offered in album form, a great recording!!!👍👌🥳 🐻--🦉/🐸--🌻--🦔--🥁 🌈👍👌🎯 CANNED HEAT---GREATEST BAND EVER !!! BUT WITH ORIGIONAL MEMBERS ONLY,eairly albums up to "LIVING THE BLUES" double-album !!👌 🎯👍🥳😊🐸🦉🐻🦔🌻🥁
This is what I call music. I LOVE it & IT IS not computerized non sense like today's sounds.. (not music just sounds) Why can't they learn from these folks??? This deserves a better name than music. This is JAMMIN'...
Thank you for sharing this. It was suggested by TH-cam after listening to Ten Years After and it made my day! I did not know that this existed. Possibly the best jam I ever heard.
I was 17yo in 1974 when I got to see rare earth along with several other bands like the eagles, deep purple, black sabbath, elp and earth wind and fire while attending California Jam 1. Two hits of window pane (those who know know), less than half a football field away with a path to get to the stage. It was a crazy time and being reminded of them through the music on TH-cam that randomly pop up that I haven't heard in possibly decades triggering that in my life is amazing. I believe if my memory serves me well that this song woke everyone one up.
I have this song deep in my soul, in my mind, since 50 years when I was 7 years old. I payed this song in my first drums. I was happy, and my family too. Great remember in my life.
I remember loving this song, and babysitting and helping my mom clean base housing.... she took me to a a record/album shop in Sausalito... I wanted this album. I still have it today.... determination, appreciation, and a good, patient mamma. She took me there to get my most wanted album, even though she was working hard, to6 - my dad was in the Marines, and was in Vietnam 3 times, and overseas a lot... Okinawa, Philippines, etc. This song has lived with me forever ❤❤💙💙
I wasn't there but I can feel it cause I can feel this great music and what it means. Thanks for your great and emotional comment Tammy. Peace and love for you and your Familie for all times ✌️🎸🎶💕
These guys performed this Live,recorded this on the double knacksack album 23mins wonderful. My father worked for the US Navy and rented to US Navy personnel, how I first heard them. Much Love!
I never would have believed that our musicians, writers, and performers would all die out and become unable to write their own songs or play their own music! Then came the advent of disco then rap. Now we haven't got anything thats a resemblance of good music. In the 70's I never would have thought it!
Kenneth Bryant & sungodrah AMEN FOR SURE!!! I can't believe it myself, nor would have ever thought it, but everything evolves in cycles! Evidently music follows suit!!! For the MOST part currently, the ONLY GOOD SHIT, is someone's REMAKE of an OLD GOOD TUNE, & GOTTA say, not always, EVEN as GOOD as the ORIGINAL!?!?
I grew up in Syria .. And from 70-73, I spent many many many hours listening to this version of Get Ready on my older brother's Reel-to-Reel. I had no idea who was the artist also not till today, the drummer was actually singing the song. As a result of this song (this full version with all the solos etc.. I became a drummer and a respected one too. This song is the reason for me enjoying so much for the last 47 years of drumming. Strangely I looked it up as I have to play it for a Tom Jones Tribute show and I decided to look for this on TH-cam. At long Last, I have it again..Thank you so much for this upload, I am in heaven and young again.
@@andya857 thank you mate .. peace and joy from Australia straight back at you. So - I have many relatives in that beautiful country that is Canada. One day I’ll make time and visit 👍
This is one of the all time greatest groups, the drummer and his solo inspired me to start playing the drums. I've been a drummer self taught for over 56 years, I started playing self taught at 10 yrs old and am still playing now. I miss these guys real musicians!!!!
When a soldier on Fort Lewis Rare Earth played at a Puget Sound College and I went. They did this song for nearly 30 minutes, the drum solo nearly made me have to sit down on the floor I was so wiped out! I am a drum and Sax man...this song (I am now 69) gets played at warp12 twice a week in my shop for all my neighbors to jam with me!
My dad's favourite song. He could spend all day long listening to this, and Child in Time of Deep Purple. He passed away 3 years ago. God, how I miss him! He was truly a good person, father and last but not least, my friend.
In the military barracks in Germany, around 1971, high as a kite on hashish. This song playing on a thousand dollar stereo setup, bass turned up, the band crawls inside your head and makes itself at home. You are one with the music. 5 or 6 guys in the room , no one saying a word, all just knodding our heads to the beat. Thousands of miles away from home, but we are
at peace with the world.

Still one of the most under rated but talented groups in the music industry. Still love them after all these years!
Best Snare sound EVER!
The band was off the hook, it would make you dance. You couldn't get on the skating floor when they played Getting Ready and Function at the Junction.
Hittin' that drum like it owed him money.
Love how they let each musician do they own solo, and then I found out the drummer was actually the lead singer ,dam thats real music damn!
That drummer was SICK!!!
I bought this record album when I was 14 in 1970. I am 65 now. I miss the. 60s 70s 80s and 90s

I did the same, but in a1967 baby blue "VW" Beetle! No drag racing, 2$ worth of gas lasted a whole school week!
I was born in the 80's and I prefer 70's rock, too. It's a sweet spot in rock's history.

Ditto. Thanks to my sisters!
no one cares.

I first heard this masterpiece at the age of 16 and 52 years ago, and I was overwhelmed with excitement ... and now that I am 68 years old, I hear it with the pleasure of that time, and I get the passion and desire to dance and move. .. Excellent and unique ...
This song crafted when whites emulated sounds and rhythms unfamiliar to them outwardly. But inwardly they resonated to these 'new chops' and mellowed out and cut loose.
We were taught this by the GODS, themselves. Try to call one of them goofy-assed Sambo now, and fear the asswhipping!
U & I are in the same boat, I to are 68 & I seem them in concert in Charlotte N.C. and I enjoy them, being Jaming with them since
I too am 68 and this song brought me so much happiness and love that in my opinion is the best song ever!
I believe these guys were from Australia amazing talent from Down Under
I was in high school catching the bus to go to school and I played it all the time unfortunately as I was playing it I had to go in school because the song was too long but I put my record player will my MyPlayer on pause after that I should get ready here I come
I'm 67 still listening to this masterpiece
Oh my goodness my older brother played this and I just danced and danced. Im in my 60 ‘s now and still loving it. I have the vinyl and will purchase from iTunes for my car
Can’t stop listening to this incredible version, they have it. Their incredible musicians, say no more….🎶🎶🎶🎶
Agree
No one makes music like this anymore. So many memories
Black Angels come close
I'm 76 years old, They are still the Best ever, God bless everyone of those Guys, Amen
Had a 1970 blue LeMans convertible....The day Elvis died.. me and my best friend .. sat on an OLD bridge out in the woods . . And drank a fifth of JD ....and cried.. y'all . I.. I rarely cry.. ..
Had this exact 8 track in my 1972 Toyota Corolla 1600 Coupe, and my other tape was Sly and the Family Stone...Let me tell you, i played this a zillion times and still love it,,,gives me a rush every time the tempo kicks in,,,oh yeah!!!
Played more times than today's national deficit. EXTRAORDINARY!
This song made me miss my first hour of high school because it's play 21 25 minutes I don't know but I could not stop listen to the beat
OMG... in Karachi, 1979, I had a 1974 corolla coupe and this was one of the favorite songs... 🎉
How’s the Corolla doing
Was fortunate enough to catch them about 36 years ago live at a bar outside of San Angelo, Texas....words cannot describe how great they were!
63 yo here. Never ever heard that great long intro. Thanks.
Played this song all day at my senior picnic in 1970...........
I'm 59 years old and still love that sound!
Born in 1950, you do the maths.... Loved that tune then, love it still, right along with the public recording of "I am a man" by Chicago and "All right now" by Free...!
I'm 77 years young still digging this great band and awesome song!
The drummer killed it on this song absolutely beautiful !!!!!
This was my mothers music, and I listing it after 45 years. great music thank you mom.
You're welcome, Dear.
@@Chris-ic6bp Your Mum knew her music!👏👍
@@wimpeters9615 ... thanks for the compliment 😊 ....but it was my music.era... she was more of a Sinatra/Dean Martin coroner's etc... It was my generation that brought in all that great rock music /heavily blues influenced. Ma'aan we had the best music through the 60s and 70s.... l'm still rocking it for the youngsters now. I love to make great Playlists and blast them for today's kids. The more l play my tunes... the less of their downer/trash/hate/crap of their's we all don't have to hear 😊
I was one hot chick (but not a mama) of 20 years old when this song was a smash hit. Now I'm 71 and I still rock out to it - yeah, I can still move those hips!
Drummer and lead singer was my little league coach. I used to get to hear him play his set in his son's room. Great dude. Massive hands and lungs. Great song with great solos.
That's awesome
Vintage Memories ....The Most!
Far out!
Thanks for sharing! Way Cool!
Would that be Pete???
Omg found them! Remembering hearing Rare Earth 🌎 growing up in 1970s California as a child & finally! Thank you 💗 🎙🎼
The only version of Rare Earth that I'll listen to. You can never top the original. The drummer has a great voice.
The guitar is to,infact the whole album is off the rails Old school
He does
I was 11 almost 12 when I first heard Rare Earth back in 1970. Pete and the men of this band blew me away. Pete the great drummer he is, could also belt out a tune. Especially on this song. Now that's talent to play drums and also sing. John Parrish (Persh) killed it on the bass. His solo knocked my boots off. It's a shame he was an underrated bass player. Every one got a turn to solo on this song to show their skills and talent. Great job. My favorite song ever in my life time and I'm now 65.
Ray Monette on guitar, his solo was kick ass. Gill Bridges on saxophone was "bitchin". He made the tambourine sound cool. And Mark Olssen on organ phenomenal. A fantastic band all the way around.
une époque.des musiciens.envie de vivre...tout ça n'existe plus...un must de la musique live
Cleveland, Ohio here. Now this is from my era. I love You Tube for letting people post all types of music. Young people don't know anything about groups like Rare Earth. This is real music.🎷🎸🥁🎺🎻🎹📯
Ray-Ban
There is GREAT music in every generation. Look for it. You will find.
I saw this group in concert in the very early 70’s in New Orleans. The short version was always one of my favorite songs. The extended version blew me away.
Most of these players never saw one hour of music lessons, yet their application to the instruments boggles one's mind. 🤔♥️✌️👏👍
That's how I learned drums . Just by ear. Listened to a lot of bands. This one also. Lots of influences ,rock n bands.
There was music before there were music schools 😁
That bass solo! 🎸
Yes, classic, historical!
Escuchar la música de cuando fuistes joven los recuerdos me llegan como cascadas de agua y pienso caracoles el corazón no envejece el cuero es lo que se arruga,lo anterior quiere decir que soy un adolescente de 71 años,saludos desde mexico
Un des plus grands, sinon le plus grand TITRE DANSANT DE TOUT LES TEMPS !!!
One of the best " Extended Musical Workouts " that i have ever heard !! " Absolutely Brilliant " !!! From Adrian 1965
Real old time classic rock sound from 60's!!! Salutes from Athens Greece!!!!
No way is this any kind of sound from the 60s. This was the 1970s baby, and it is still some of the best damn music out there today. Classics - forever and ever.
Right on brotha to both of you

I have loved this band saw them twice in early 1970 they are the best!
I am 72 yrs old and yes, I still love this song.
70s artists were the best of the last 50 plus years.
Possibly the most underrated drum solo in rock history. First time I heard it was almost 35 years ago. It still feels like a wonder to me to this day

I was playing rock 😂funky music as a drummer in those and also for recording groups on the road I gave respect to Rare Earth
This is what I call music. I LOVE it & IT IS not computerized non sense like today's sounds.. (not music just sounds)
Why can't they learn from these folks???
This deserves a better name than music.
This is JAMMIN'...
Classic allí over the while times,✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Thank you for sharing this. It was suggested by TH-cam after listening to Ten Years After and it made my day! I did not know that this existed.
Possibly the best jam I ever heard.
I was 17yo in 1974 when I got to see rare earth along with several other bands like the eagles, deep purple, black sabbath, elp and earth wind and fire while attending California Jam 1. Two hits of window pane (those who know know), less than half a football field away with a path to get to the stage. It was a crazy time and being reminded of them through the music on TH-cam that randomly pop up that I haven't heard in possibly decades triggering that in my life is amazing. I believe if my memory serves me well that this song woke everyone one up.
It did and still do
The best band ever . South Africa
I have this song deep in my soul, in my mind, since 50 years when I was 7 years old. I payed this song in my first drums. I was happy, and my family too. Great remember in my life.
Wow one of my favoritas cruising around with the musica blasting from the 8 track 😉
I remember loving this song, and babysitting and helping my mom clean base housing.... she took me to a a record/album shop in Sausalito... I wanted this album. I still have it today.... determination, appreciation, and a good, patient mamma. She took me there to get my most wanted album, even though she was working hard, to6 - my dad was in the Marines, and was in Vietnam 3 times, and overseas a lot... Okinawa, Philippines, etc.
This song has lived with me forever ❤❤💙💙
I wasn't there but I can feel it cause I can feel this great music and what it means. Thanks for your great and emotional comment Tammy. Peace and love for you and your Familie for all times ✌️🎸🎶💕
Awesome! San Francisco girl here with you!!!!
These guys performed this Live,recorded this on the double knacksack album 23mins wonderful. My father worked for the US Navy and rented to US Navy personnel, how I first heard them. Much Love!
I got your vibe. USMC 1972-2022
Sausalito, what a nice town. I'm down south of you in San Jose.
Love this! First concert I went to was Rare Earth & Santana.
Thanks to my late dad...I still have the LP .This music is here to stay.
Wow Wow Wow! Still remember Get Ready. 13 , 15 years old. fantastic times.
My world is a better place because I got to experience this song in my teenage years.....get ready ......turn it UP!
Me too !
DITTO
you got it right , turn it upload is the only way to listem to this
I never would have believed that our musicians, writers, and performers would all die out and become unable to write their own songs or play their own music! Then came the advent of disco then rap. Now we haven't got anything thats a resemblance of good music. In the 70's I never would have thought it!
YES, IT S TRAGIC. THERE IS NOTHING GOOD COMING OUT FROM THE GREAT ANGLO-SAXON WORLD TODAY IN MUSICAL TERMS. WE ARE IN A BIG SHIT IN MUSICAL TERMS.
Maybe not in the mainstream, but there is a lot of great music coming out elsewhere.
Amen Kenneth..
Kenneth Bryant & sungodrah AMEN FOR SURE!!! I can't believe it myself, nor would have ever thought it, but everything evolves in cycles! Evidently music follows suit!!! For the MOST part currently, the ONLY GOOD SHIT, is someone's REMAKE of an OLD GOOD TUNE, & GOTTA say, not always, EVEN as GOOD as the ORIGINAL!?!?
Not to be outdone is a brand new Nashville class of country and it is a blend of country and rap !! It is called CRAP ???
The whole album brings back strong memories rock on I'm 70
Music of 1965to 1975 was the best and still is hands down. So many top artist and songs in one era. Has been a real blessing for me.
I grew up in Syria .. And from 70-73, I spent many many many hours listening to this version of Get Ready on my older brother's Reel-to-Reel. I had no idea who was the artist also not till today, the drummer was actually singing the song. As a result of this song (this full version with all the solos etc.. I became a drummer and a respected one too. This song is the reason for me enjoying so much for the last 47 years of drumming. Strangely I looked it up as I have to play it for a Tom Jones Tribute show and I decided to look for this on TH-cam. At long Last, I have it again..Thank you so much for this upload, I am in heaven and young again.
So cool , you must a great drummer ..Peace and Respect from Canada..🏔❄
@@andya857 thank you mate .. peace and joy from Australia straight back at you.
So - I have many relatives in that beautiful country that is Canada. One day I’ll make time and visit 👍
This is one of the all time greatest groups, the drummer and his solo inspired me to start playing the drums. I've been a drummer self taught for over 56 years, I started playing self taught at 10 yrs old and am still playing now. I miss these guys real musicians!!!!
The drum solo is the best segment of the whole song, I wish I was not in a
apartment complex, this needs to be CRANKED !!!
Eric Washington~ Talk about a heavy hitting band listen to the song ( one fine morning) by light house
@@nancymurphy6727 oh,okay thanks will do.
Wanted to be a good drummer, never made it.
Oh well, I still have the set.
You obviously inspired by one of the two best drummers. The other is Ian Paice.
When a soldier on Fort Lewis Rare Earth played at a Puget Sound College and I went. They did this song for nearly 30 minutes, the drum solo nearly made me have to sit down on the floor I was so wiped out! I am a drum and Sax man...this song (I am now 69) gets played at warp12 twice a week in my shop for all my neighbors to jam with me!
