This is flatassed smokin!!! The cover they do of Baby Please Don't Go can't be touched by anyone. I like their cover better than the Muddy Waters original. These guys were on fire! I remember this well when it was played on the radio back in 1966.......
They were ferocious as a live band!!! WHO ARE & WHAT ARE THEM?? As a musician
myself, I am always inspired by bands of that caliber.(Them,Early Stones,Yardbirds,
Who,Kinks,Pretty Things,Animals,etc,etc.) These are groups that will never be equalled in a million years. Swagger never sounded so immaculate!!!! THE SOUND OF TRUE REBELLION!!!! Van Morrison & Them...... Only once in a lifetime.
@sebafloyd1 I'm not talking about the girl (does she really look like an "older lady" to you?) with the long dark hair, who does (rather bizarrely) look like she's eating something...I hadn't even noticed her. I'm talking about the older woman to her immediate right who has her index finger pointing to her forehead.
This is a real revelation. I'm so glad to see this and the other live Them footage that's turned up. They were reputed to be a truly magic band, though Morrison has said that the best version ever was before they ever broke out of Ireland. I love the crowd shot at about 4:44 with the older lady looking disgusted!!
I never knew this clip existed, a clear live version of one of the greatest Rock & Roll songs ever.

Them should have been a big as the Stones....at least Van went on to be one of the best songwriters/performers ever

Never saw this before. It raises my estimation of Them quite a bit. Fairly tight outfit.
