The Spectres / Status Quo - (We Ain't Got) Nothing Yet 67

[TheAmericanFreeBird]

i still having nightmares during the night

[doomsday1230]

this version of this song sounds better

[gk10002000]

Nelson was years ahead. check him out. weird tune for the year he did it.

[bogomol500]

song with fire

[bogomol500]

bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[philcollis100]

custer1986 is right - this is a pretty accurate cover version of The Blues Magoos song from '66. A New York band.

Written by Emil Thielhelm/Micheal Esposito/Ralph Scala/Ronald Gilbert

[southernboy666]

Am I wrong, or does Deep Purple´s " Black Night" have the same riff......could it be Deep Purple stole this ?

[seventiesclassic]

To all the geeks saying..Blackmore stole this riff..well The Magoos and the Spectres stole it from Ricky Nelson's...Summertime..have a listen.

[mcp666]

@seventiesclassic Well spotted that man! Geek that I am, I just heard this for the first time and came to check out the history and now, I know!

[VL1302]

brilliant

[Roxsox221]

Wow...not bad but I came back here after reading some comments and listening to"'She's Mine" by the Liverpool Five and have to admit that song is F******g fantastic.....very edgy and years before punk and garage.

[JosefWhite]

and thus, the birth of metal.

[Johi2410]

Status Quo? Birth of Metal?? I don't think so. There's so much a big difference between Quo and their no-nonsense melodic rock, and that music called Metal, that's mainly loud. At least to me, I think that's the way Quo has to be understood.

[JosefWhite]

Holy Crap! (theyre so adorable =) and damn hardcore for 67

[SamFisherCell]

62?? They where only 13-14 years old then XD

[ENS64]

Let me remind everyone to go over to "Nuggets from the Liverpool Five ( Part 1) " on You Tube and listen to the first song there called " She's Mine", written by them in 1965. An obvious influence ?

[TOMMASCRAWLEY]

who did this song first?

[custer1968]

blue mcgoos did this song first TOMMASCRAWLEY

[lrd9999]

"We made enough mi-taaaaakes" sounds kind of tortured on this version; the Blues Magoos version has it right. Otherwise, they're pretty close.

[56Johnny]

come on pretty close I'm trying to find a difference between them

[monkeeman1966]

The opening riff came from a 1962 Ricky Nelson song called "Summertime". You know, the one that Billy Stewart made famous in 1966.  Now I don't know if anyone did it before Nelson.

[VDGG94ki]

What a stolen riff!

[jag555y]

It has to pre-date Purple's Black Night. Whate a shameless rip-off by Blackmore

[steve01274]

loudhvx .. The single in the video has The Spectres on the cover On July 18, 1966 The Spectres signed a five-year deal with Piccadilly Records, releasing two singles that year, 'I (Who Have Nothing)' and 'Hurdy Gurdy Man' (written by Alan Lancaster), and one the next year called 'We Ain't Got Nothing Yet'

[OJPluto63]

i love this song !!!!!!!!!!!i heard for the first time in the ps2 game shellshock vietnam is fantastic!!!!!!!!!

[xxxtttccc]

yes man

[alaskancrab]

The Spectres' record label on the video shows '(Gilbert, Scala, Esposito).'

That be Blues Magoos members Ronnie Gilbert, Ralph Scala and Mike Esposito. The reference suggests that the Magoos wrote the song, regardless of which version may have ultimately been released first.

[MysteryQuo]

Black Night that is.Remarkable similarities

[cleveroonie]

Blackmore (deep purple) knicked the base line of a hendrix tune

[riptorna556]

luv dis my fav song of shellshock nam 67

[SheriffGeneralStoner]

At :57 Alan kinda reminds me of Matthew (Adric) Waterhouse and Frame looks quite the Irish-Italian with the moustache

[SheriffGeneralStoner]

The Blues Magoos did this song too. I wonder who came out with it first

[elder189]

Status Quo own the original

[SheriffGeneralStoner]

That's cool, so the Blues Magoos tweaked it a little with 'nothing can hold us and nothing can keep us down, someday our names will be spread all over town. We get in while the getting is good. Make it on your own yeah you know that you could'

[zombfan]

Wikipedia says it's Blues Magoos' song.

[loudhvx]

On the Status Quo "The Singles Collection 1966-73", the liner notes say the original version was by the Blues Magoos.

[Jackalope]

You can hear the raw heavier Quo sound starting to take shape on this song- that they went on to play in the 1970s.

[pump35]

Very simillar to the 1st deep purple album "shades of", with Rod Evans on vocals

[scanner7man]

Deep purple used this riff for black night.This song is so cool,shame it flopped.

[Dator1992]

have deep purple taken the intro of this song and put it in dark night??
