[ChrisYonts]

[DeanLisi]

[roscoe85cj]

That dude lies ! .. I never listened to Bob Dylan,, I knew he was a wussy freak from day 1

Garage bands, real rock & roll forever !

[Khultan]

@roscoe85cj  How would you know?!?

[fancluv]

Velvet Cotorro rules!!

[CarnabyStreetBand]

I met Sky back in 1986. I wish you well on your new journey Sky.

[waylo4526]

DAMN THIS IS AWESOME I LOVE THIS STUFF!

[crypttonite]

love Shadows

[freevracman]

R.I.P , My Friend Sky, i'm sad......

[ManyGodz]

Those early Garage bands beat the pissy pants off 90% of what passes for "popular" music today. RIP Sky ! Hope you're at that big ass party in the next world !

[Khultan]

@ManyGodz What you say is absolutely the truth!! : ) 

[alet1982]

this is so weird... I met Sky Saxon a few years ago at a north London underground station... he had loads of bags so me and a friend offered to help him carry it - having no idea who he was. As a thank you he gave us a CD and signed it for us! We thought the man was a bit sloshed or something, and didn't take him serious. He was so sweet. Just read about his death... RIP mr SKY! x

[brucer12]

SKY was a free-spirit who marched to that different beat but he and the Seeds had fun with it.RIP amen to SS!!!

[thegarage5]

RIP SKY

[AstroMockerSelector]

Why did they mark Rick Andridge as "Sky Saxon" on the Seeds picture????

[sundowner108]

Yeah...

Lame

Do your homework!

-=0=-

[sisterdiggins]

It is a drag that his passing is over shadowing Sky , but not for those of us who are dedicated.

Sky was a kooky , funny charismatic guy.

The list of people he influenced is endless.

RIP

[anikid0392]

Sky Saxon died today which famous singer Michael Jackson dies too. This is such a tragedy.

[dubcantgetrite]

Sucks that he died. And what sucks even more i that Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett's deaths overshadow it.

[Baargeld]

RIP Sky Saxon!

Sad day fro rocknroll..... ; (

[AntnyMichlHallnOats]

The Standels, The Seeds, The Grass Roots...all used to tour the record stores here in southern CA to promote their latest singles. I actually learned "dirty water" while they were sitting in the store...asked the guy to show me how to play it and he did. Great days without a doubt! Imagine a 13 yr. old kid who thought the Beach Boys were nothing more than a local band!

[brucer12]

Great video and Sky says it all about the times .All I know is the garage/electric sound was way-cool.

[springheadmotorshark]

The Seeds and the Shadows of Knight didn't even write their own songs? They were legends in their own minds?

Who ARE these "Garage Experts?" I HATE history revisionists!

Both "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Gloria" were top ten hits NATIONALLY. Yeah, "Gloria" was NOT a Shadows of Knight original, but they were certainly known nationwide, and they DID write LOADS of their own material! And the Seeds wrote ALL their stuff - at least 4 albums worth.

[acertainblue]

Indeed... we should never question or over-analyze the great mysteries, or, in other words, God.

[sportster072]

This is actually from the 1 hour documentary titled "Garage Rock USA" produced in March,2003 in Madison, Wisconsin.  Jimy Sohns is performing quite well, considering he had walking pneumonia at the time.

[faisalroute66]

thank you for the video !! i like it

[queldorchmaxle]

this video is NOT "from 80's" . . . guitar being played (black Squire Venus-12) wasn't built 'til 1997 . . .

[WhiteSage777]

what the hell? I didn't know a person's vioce could change that much over the years?

[CherryAngelV8SS]

OOPS..I must correct myself. The Leaves did do the original version but it does appear to be Garage Band era..just found it here on Youtube...sorry!!

[CherryAngelV8SS]

I beg to differ with this man but the first popular version of "Hey Joe" was by The Leaves, a group way, way ahead of it's time...I believe it came out late 50's, early 60's..definately NOT the Garage Band era.

[brucer12]

This a great beer song(lots)--Sky is Sky only A little more garagier here---Bruce in Oregon

[keyman112]

the seeds singer sounded pretty bad.

[ZHardKoreGroovyJulz]

Yeah OldSkool 5 starz!

[ZHardKoreGroovyJulz]

Yeah OldSkool 5 starz!

[ZHardKoreGroovyJulz]

Yeah OldSkool 5 starz!

[trentacid008]

thank you.....garage rock is kickass.

[ZHardKoreGroovyJulz]

Oh shit I accadently gave it a 1 sstar!

[JakeANowhereMan]

Ha The Troggs Rule THey have a great sound.

But they talk about love mostly.

[thefamilycat]

That was one of the great things about these American bands who sprung up in the wake of the Beatles.

They did plenty of covers

[moorlock2003]

That guy can't be talking about The Seeds, because they did their own material. Sky Saxon wrote the lyrics.

[naturesprite]

Got all this on vinyl, can't believe these folks are still alive :) Rock on!

[rachel112263]

Sky Saxon was so gorgeous and innocent-looking back in 1966. Now he looks like Tommy Chong. Oh well, I still love the music!

[dragster58]

KICK ASS.......now I know where PLAN 9 come form!!

[suesoch]

Somebody told me that Joe Kelley lives in Austin and still plays from time to time. Is it true? Thanks for posting this interesting show.

[thedakotasuk]

We worked with these guys at the Rock n Roll Legends concerts a few years back - they are AWESOME!! The Dakotas

[napalm69]

Look like sh*t but still sound good!! ;)

[moorlock2003]

Absolutely agree that The Seeds' "Pushin' Too Hard" is the No. 1 garage tune.

[99thflooroi]

Is a classic yes! Nice to see a morlock here!

[SirFastLarry]

Great to see Sky Saxon - Seeds rule...

[moorlock2003]

You know it. Saw Sky doing a Seeds show here in Hollywood several months back. Just great.

[xz4q18]

Thanks for posting this. These guys are legends as are the songs!!! I listen to the 'Nuggets' album and the 'Elevators' all day in work. Lucky me !!!

[suesoch]

"Nuggets" is one of the best investments I've ever made!

[jimysohns]

Great! I remember this from the late 90,s on PBS T.V. Thats Joe Kelley with Jimy Sohns in the SOK segments. Anyone know where I can find a copy? Thanks

[DanOManno]

I knew these guys. They lived in a house in Mt. Prospect. The group name was done one night when the local high school was doing 'All Knight' dances. DanO

[bohdi316]

They played the Cellar in Arlington Heights!
