Mitch Ryder & Detroit Wheels - Live, 1966 (Jenny Take A Ride)

[itsdandamage]

tim rocked the guitar, but the bass player really carried all these good ole detroit wheels grooves. just moves it

[chernand58]

Mitch Ryder could sing and rock live when he was on.  That Detroit sound. J.Geils band took what they had and made it bigger. Bob Gaudio helped these guys. What a great song still...I saw John Mellencamp and Mitch came out and rocked this song...yeah!!

[Syzygy60]

they did what they had to u anal old women enjoy the song Cheese

[ChefDeenoh]

Total lip sync

[Carlschwamberger1]

Lada is burning it up, on the right !

[gblueslover2]

Mr Jim McCarty on guitar folks...Give him some cred too !

[avantill]

I seen him in a suburb of Chicago years back, he was so stoned they drove him off stage in a golf cart, lol, he signed my 2 picture sleeves when i caught up to the cart, but never said a word, behind his shades he was like a zombie.

[Wilcox3]

Mitch Ryder Is a Michigan Icon. I Grew Up Listening to His Music.

[MrAmesj]

This is the best arrangement of these 2 songs... the bass player was the driving force... we use to enjoy playing these and I can't believe that today's bands covering classic rock don't play them....

[tmf945]

Goddam dirty Rock&Roll, no apologies...I was fucking there....

[CLEVELANDBOB100]

Lou Diamond Phillips is playing guitar?

[waynesworldjojo]

@CLEVELANDBOB100 That's Jim McCarty of Cactus fame!

[KnoxvilleRanger]

Sponsored M.R. & the D.W in Concert at the Rock Island, IL Armory (Fall '66). Deal was done by the Blackhawk College Commerce Club (allegedly). :) Really, it was just 3 of us. I was 19 & Ryder wasn't 21. Stayed in the bathroom & wouldn't come out 'til he got COLD BEER! I lead-footed it to "Audry's" Bar, got the beer & back to the Armory. Had to "shimmy" along the River side-along the rail-to the b.r. window. TOO SMALL for a PBR case! Mitch got his beer-thru the window-ONE CAN AT A TIME!!!

[msmarcia1951]

@KnoxvilleRanger

I had heard that Mitch liked his beer. He was supposed to play at the Galion Theatre in 67 buat they couldn't get him out of the bar across the street.

[sekim777]

My gpa loves this video!!!

[DominickFontana]

Those Go-Go dancers were really into it. Great stuff.

[DominickFontana]

Fantastic! It doesn't get any better than this.

[reggie44]

As of 2011, the WMG block has been removed; unless the individual publishing co. maintains copyright protection, the work can most likely can be posted. The other thing is that none of the Mitch Ryder/New Voice Rocords was released through any Warner label; it was distributed by Bell (which is now under the Sony Music umbrella). Try and post the original stuff again, and if it gets blocked remind them who owns the original work -- Sony Music, not Warner.

[Rankinbacca]

Mitch has still got it!! Just a huge huge energy in his vocals. One of the best!!!

[domino3841]

is it me or does mitch look alot like eric burdon of the animals

[MrTuireland]

whats up with those cage dancers on speed

looks like the platform going to fall over

Great video Thanks for posting

[altfactor]

Some acts of the era, when appearing on TV, brought with them an instrumental track of their record, with no vocal, which was played while they sang live. This is one such example.

The music was recorded, but the vocal is definitely live.

[PerryLogan]

Awesome bass work.

[makalavena]

The bass player is outrageous.

[IBeGodly]

Don't care if the audio is a paste to the live performance; as long as he is singing it then we're all good.

[ajraven52]

Is there anything that he sings that doesn't have Little Richard in it?

[bayridged]

Nothing is live about this studio track,but thanks for uploading it anyway.

[SixtiesPopGold]

@bayridged The vocals are probably live, otherwise Warner Music (who seems to own the song) wouldn't have let med uploaded it. I tried to upload the song from another show, but failed.

[bayridged]

@SixtiesPopGold Bet my house that they aren't live;you can tell by Mitch's lack of effort on such a dynamic piece.I know this studio track backwards since it was one of the first bass lines I learned.The TV studio did have some booms that picked up some of the girl's grunts and the audience cheering at the end

etc.,but that's the extent of "live"

[SixtiesPopGold]

@bayridged How big is your house? No, I'm sure you're right. Sometimes I've tried to upload a playback song from two different shows. One of them was successful but the other one failed, so it's a real jungle out there when it comes to copyright. I tried to upload "Jenny Take a Ride" from "Swingin' Time", but Warner didn't let me, so therefore I thought that this Hullballoo clip at least was somewhat live.

[j7777777]

@SixtiesPopGold mitch is definately live , as you can hear him singing , jenny jenny , right at the end as the track fades out : )

[TheYesyyes]

@SixtiesPopGold The reason it won't be taken down is because of the applause and sounds the audience is making. The track itself isn't live, but the audience is. When they scan the clip, it doesn't appear to be direct because of the additional sounds - one of its downfalls, but a benefit to listeners like us!

[jackhammer111]

@bayridged This may or may not be live, they we very experienced pros as live performers. They were NOT a studio band. His delivery is always pretty effortless. That's just his manner. He's confident and cocky enough to not have to grin and mug phoney dramatics like they they demand TV contest singers do now.

It's called presence, attitude. His manner is "here I am. You don't like it? shove it." It was Detroit man. Tough guy ways.

BTW, the song is C C Rider.

[j7777777]

@SixtiesPopGold  vocals are deffinatly live .

[tlynch1218]

@bayridged you would have had to be there when t.v. was invented. these were live show. impossible to get sound and pic to match. trust me, i grew up with it.

[bayridged]

@tlynch1218 Afraid not,even the party who posted this acknowledged that it wasn't upon further review.lol

Mitch ain't even faking it! lol

[j7777777]

@tlynch1218 theres nothing wrong with the origonal tracking , sometimes if uploaders use the wrong , (codecs ) , the audio syncs may not be in sync with the picture !

[ibwilliamsi]

Man, those girls in those platforms are taking their lives in their hands!

[barnfresh60]

the last time i felt this good was the animals live, this guy is unreal.

[bayridged]

Caught Mitch several times dating back to his gig with the Fudge at the Village Theater and later at the Bottom Line-He has always delivered!

[tornmask]

dog-gone-it! i love this song! =0O

[englishbluesman]

the lead guitar player in this band-JIMMY M.-was way ahead of his time-

he was better than most American white guitar players of the same time period-

this song and "bring it on home home"--off their 1st album--

demonstrates exactly what i am saying----he was an outstanding rock and roll/blues player---

his solo on bring it on home--is equal to -red house -Hendrix-really-Bloomfield-

any blues number recorded by the kings-Clapton-BECK at that time period-

signed*JOE~T*ENGLISHBLUESMAN*

[Devilsblood]

Now this is Rock 'N Roll

[m2mcassady]

We got to hear Jimmy McCarty, Mitch Ryders lead guitarist, live tonight at the Blue Goose. I talked with him about his career with Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles and his Rockets band coming back again. He is scheduled to play at the Filmore the week after Thanksgiving.

[IndisputableAttitude]

Those girls had better be careful up on that fake brick thing, or it might fall over and they'll have a Spinal Tap moment.

[sicilianese69]

this lead guitar player has incredible chops- does anybody know who this guy is?

[dicarlo57]

@sicilianese69 thats my cousin, Jimmy Cipiti, another Sicilion...

[Tonedog001]

@sicilianese69 ... his name is Jimmy McCarty ... he also played in a smokin hot group called The Rockets along with Detroit Wheels drummer Johnny Bee Badjanek and David Gilbert, the singer from the Amboy Dukes ...

[aerosmythe]

WOW! Go-Go Girls! Mitch performed at Selfridge last fall. He still has it. Although he said he's going to collect Social Security this year. (Until it runs out due to bankrupsy) -1 for my spelling...

[Classicrocker6119]

Outstanding!  What energy!!

[rocksinger45]

Only thing missing is KHJ's Boss Jock the Real Don Steele...thats a joke of you people living in Los Angeles in the 60's.

[rwells47]

Thanks for posting! Wow look at those girls dance! Ron

[dllewiszz]

Makes me wonder if the dancers get on YouTube and show this to their grandkids.

[powergirl901]

This is the last bit of sixties fun, until Hippies came along with their outlook.
