Grandissimo, pensavo di essere l'unico in Italia a conoscerli. I due versi mancanti sono (o dovrebbero essere): "i'm just getting into gear" e "let me push my own swing". E manca un "don't" all'inizio della seconda strofa. La prima versione che ho sentito di questa canzone è quella degli Hearts and Flowers, ed ha qualche piccola variazione nel testo (là al posto di "swing" c'è un'altra parola, difficile da decifrare).
one of the most eclectic bands ever. they play psychedelic rock, blues, country, turkish music all mixed toghether with great touch and inspiration. one of my favorite band ever!
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll. Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll
Saw them in July 1967 at Devonshire Downs in Northridge CA. That day the Doors and Country Joe and the Fish were playing there too, but I liked Kaleidoscope better.
@GregoryWonderwheel I was there too, a couple of months before my 18th birthday, very impressed with them. They were doing what many years later would come to be known as "world music". I dropped some very good stuff that day and parked myself in some eucalyptus trees behind the stage before I came on too heavy. I do remember having an out of body experience. One second I was looking at the back of Jim Morrison's head, the next I was watching the rest of the Doors set from out front.
@Bethaneyc I was there under "some eucalyptus trees behind the stage...looking at the back of Jim Morrison's head" that day too. It's a small universe! All of the music that day was great, including these guys. A side note... The Iron Butterfly were supposed to perform the same day but a couple of the guys couldn't make it so we missed out on another great band. This was still a few months before the release of the Butterfly's first album.
This is probally my favorite song on "Side Trips" (and I own a copy of the Sundazed vinyl reissue you see here). The lyrics ring too, too true for me and another person that is a part of my life. I feel like I could've written them myself! "Pulsating Dreams" and "Why Try" are two of my other faves on this album.
Absolutely the best Unknown of 1967. Saw this band open for the Doors at the Avalon Ballroom with two belly dancers and a "call-out" the night before on Underground Radio for a double neck guitar for their show. Thax.

Yep, this song is so cool. Bob Seal of Clear Light used to sing along with so much reverence. I think about him a lot.

Wow! I caught the Boston music scene
..circa 1967 -
Wasn't Jackson Brown in on this group also?
Or is my 64 yr old Forgettory working?
Thanx for input.
