Great band. They are one of my favorite 60's bands. The best part even after all these years they can still improv a solo like that and stay in key with their old songs.
In a mystical, synchronistic sort of way the Strawberry Alarm Clock was an alarm clock of sorts heralding the "great awakening of consciousness" of the psychedelic era. There was a radical, cultural paradigm shift in 1967.
Fucking grand man! These guys can still do it!! The music easily fights through the quality of the sound system.....nowadays the quality of the performer IS the sound system.
Sounds remarkably like the original recording. One of my all time fave bits of music trivia is the guy that wrote cowrote this also cowrote Sweet Home Alabama (and yes, that looks like the same guitar on this he played during Skynyrd 87 reunion tour...)
I remember seeing these guys back in the sixties in New York. They were booed off the stage. People threw bottles at them. They were terrible. They couldn't even play this song right.
@cengeb Thankfully, there are still some genuine hippies around. Not all of them cut their hair and gave away America back in the late 1970s and all through the 1980s. This band is still great! Love (with Arthur Lee) was (and still is) fantastic. The Seeds were (and remain) a great band from the mid-Sixties.

Ed King was the founding lead guitarist for this signature sound of the 1960's. Ed was also very much a part of the sound that made Lynard Skynard so popular as well.
I saw the Doors at the Cheetah in Venice in 1967 and the guitarist for the SAC offered me $5 for my seat which was right in front of the stage. My response? "No way!"
actually, i don't think it was the audio. the audio still had the way out 60's sound. the video was most difficult to watch because of improper filming.
Boy oh boy, wish they had better recording equipment back then. Still great stuff though.. You can almost hear the needle hitting the vinyl. Oh what a sound ,that was. Glad I saved all my old LP's. They are somewhat scratchy. I call it WELL USED!!!
The day Medford, the vocalist, left this band, they sucked. And Medford never played live with them. Ever. Unless there's been a studio reunion. Don't tell me about "Ed King". Trash. Marc on keyboards was always super though.
ya know, i might be wrong, but i saw skynyrd with the allman bros at a blues festival in dallas about 2000, and he came out in a wheelchair. something i think i remember being said about a spinal paralysis. ronnies hat was on the mic stand. and i asked my brother if he remembered. he said he thought it was ronnies dad, soooooo......
@edslides Hmm...that makes sense. HA, I actually got my info from a guy who commented on this vid months back who "very confidently" said that was Ed on the left in the Black Turtleneck. Let's hope so for his sake after the wheelchair story.
Lighten up people!!! If you can get past the horrible acoustics and terrible recording, these guys sound great, musically. They just need a proper venue.
@iowa61 That's the fault of whoever took this unauthorized video. I can still hear the singer's inimitable voice, regardless of the cheap approach taken by who ever recorded this. Excellent stuff!
@iowa61 I fully agree. As the ultimate 60's child, it's just a treat to see all these great one-hit wonder bands...still churning out the music . I mean where else will we ever find another "Strawberry Alarm Clock"!?!?
@3Rubee What's strange is they had a number of albums out! The ONLY reason they, or ANY band that didn't just records a single and then called it quits) was because radio was to scared to play any of their other stuff!! There's a number of other songs they did that were just as good as this one, if not better!! Had we ever been given the chance to listen to them, they would've been hits, too!
Wish I was there. Amazing that the band sound so good after 40 yrs. Nice to see they stayed faithful to the original recording. Nice depth of sound with all the guitars too. People in the USA & Europe are fortunate to see these old bands still in action - Downunder we don't !
Lol, when I was a teen I thought they were saying "incest and necromance"....I was like "shit these guys are twisted!" but then I wised up and figured it out...this rocks!!
If you listen to the lyrics to "Hummin' Happy" off the same album, it doesn't seem so far off. But even this lyric is rather cynical and postmodern for 1968. I always thought Nirvana should have covered it .
Some conspiracy theorist should take up the SAC acronym, "coincidentally" also Strategic Air Command, and the fact that on the original cover, they look like a bunch of CIA agents dressed in hippie gear, and UNHAPPY about it.
personalmente encuentro que están muy bien, pero claro, es el audio de una cámara de cien euros o un poco mas, "in situ" debe haber sonado como los dioses, no te quepa duda amigo; thanks for the post my friend
Ed King wrote this song and never got paid for it...no royalties !!! You might know Ed King better as the guy who was the original lead guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd and wrote "Sweet Home Alabama"
actually the keyboard player wrote it, Mark Weitz, and everyone in the band had some input on it, King wrote very little of it, the lyric writers who werent in the band, but who knew the producer, got all the credit and one of them didnt even write any of the lyrics. its sad.
I found a website that tells you what song was number one on the day you were born. This one was mine. Never heard of them so did a search. . . now I've heard them ... nice but not my thing really.
I didn't know that this band was still together. I figured they broke up. I first heard of them when I got a CD with 'remastered' sixties music on it.
Jose was my fathers name and he was nothing like this idiot who seems to have a VERY limited vocabulary. You can't judge by names or looks....watch that You Tube video of that 49 yr old woman in London that can sing like the dickens.
They weren't shot down in Vietnam, we were there but they weren't, thank God ( Navy River Division 594). I grew up with Lee Freeman and knew the family. Hey Lee, remember Burbank? Remember the good times. BTW Lee, I had your cassette while I was in the Navy. It was my Fav. Mom still has your LP that your Mom gave her.

Don't know about lucky... 74sodapop, LUCKY I didn't catch a disease. She was very, very attractive but was renowned for her sexual activity and with many others. Incidentally, I share your views about John Denver.
if all of you pimples hate hippies why the heck are you even looking at this?instead go listen to the crap you listen to on a daily basis.go sit down with a dictionary and educate yourself!
"All you pimples"...LOLLLL!!! Aw, you can't expect people who grew up on American Idol and B. Spears to know what real music is...Let's just be glad WE do, darlin'!
And you're a punk kid with a big mouth!! WHY are you looking in this catagory anyway???? Shouldn't you be viewing RAP CRAP with all the OTHER ZIT FACED TEENY BOPPERS out there with NO KNOWLEDGE or APPRECIATION of REAL MUSIC??
dumbslice: There you go again.....proving that your mouth is bigger than your IQ...... Prepubesent zit faced punk! I think your mommy is calling you......
harldly any kids like rap and are you american because here in bristishland where we all say taleyho and spiffing all the kids are long haired smackheads who are doped up on some crap they found on the streets yeah sone idiots go around thinking they are ard as nails but most have a decent taste in music this is one of my all time favourite songs and i am only 13 (i dont like the solo too musch though :) )
look friend what are you talking about? you must indulge yourself in all types of music to really apreciate it. just because you may not like it does not mean it isnt real music. music is a form of expression and just beacause it may not be you taste does not mean its not real music. keep an open mind and just love music.
cole: I enjoy ALL kinds of music, and from many countries too. I've been in High School and College Band, Orchestra, and a couple of rock bands over the years.....I know what music is and isn't. Music has rhythm and MELODY. Just try humming a Rap-Crap "song" some time... And my opinion has NOTHING to do with "color" either (as some people like to infer). Before the "gofather of Soul" (James Brown) died he was asked what he thought about Rap.....his response was "That Aint Music!".
theres all kinds of music for all kinds of moments, I like listening to some psychedelic rock while im on my room alone and I like listening to some techno or hiphop when Im on a club all drunk
Leo: Ya, you're right, I'd probably have to be "all drunk" to appreciate "hippity-hop" too.....but I could NEVER get drunk enough to enjoy RapCrap! ;-)
ya i know theres some shitty ass rap I dont like but theres old school hiphop like snoop dogg, dr dre and ice cube, old school is the only good one to en joy
yeah the camera action isn't that good. Hey iknow what should happen, how about taking some video class at your local community college. It would be beneficial to everyone
Great Stuff from the 1960's! Where this came from, some High School gym? Takes nothing away from a great group and a Really Great Song! If you kind of like this, look up 'The Small Faces' and their contemporary tune
Sounds like a couple of the guys (many arent even original members)arent sure of the arrangement around the guitar solo= TRAIN WRECK . Hope the audience didnt pay much to see this!
wrong, they are all origenal, they even are going so far as to include both drummers, in this video "Gene Gunnals" is just playing a simple percussion set. though I am to understand that they switch off.
Does anyone know where the ORIGINAL SINGER of this song (who was not even a member of the band, but a studio musician) is today? Would have been cool to hear him join the band in this clip!
the original singer on the record was Ed King(who later joined Lynyrd Skynyrd, lead guitarist on Sweet Home Alabama), he was not a member of SAC, he was a friend who was in the studio, and they got him to sing a take, and that was the one that was used.
At least that's the story i've heard in the rock circles.
The original singer was Gregg Mumford, a 16 year old who was at the studio but not part of the band. The song was a corporate venture and the words were written by a producer and Greg could sing them when they were awkward for the band members and musical composer.

look friend what are you talking about? you must indulge yourself in all types of music to really apreciate it. just because you may not like it does not mean it isnt real music. music is a form of expression and just beacause it may not be you taste does not mean its not real music. keep an open mind and just love music.
peace and love

cole: I enjoy ALL kinds of music, and from many countries too. I've been in High School and College Band, Orchestra, and a couple of rock bands over the years.....I know what music is and isn't. Music has rhythm and MELODY. Just try humming a Rap-Crap "song" some time... And my opinion has NOTHING to do with "color" either (as some people like to infer). Before the "gofather of Soul" (James Brown) died he was asked what he thought about Rap.....his response was "That Aint Music!".

This was the first 'psychadelic' song I remember. 'Journey to the center of the mind' was around the same time and was also in that category.

Great Stuff from the 1960's! Where this came from, some High School gym? Takes nothing away from a great group and a Really Great Song! If you kind of like this, look up 'The Small Faces' and their contemporary tune
"Itchycoo Park". ........peace, F.T.C.

Sounds like a couple of the guys (many arent even original members)arent sure of the arrangement around the guitar solo= TRAIN WRECK . Hope the audience didnt pay much to see this!
ShockDoc 4 years ago
Wrong, they are all original,,, there is even both drummers (the band had a total of two drummers over their 4 albums) on stage.
angxtrom 4 years ago
wrong, they are all origenal, they even are going so far as to include both drummers, in this video "Gene Gunnals" is just playing a simple percussion set. though I am to understand that they switch off.

Does anyone know where the ORIGINAL SINGER of this song (who was not even a member of the band, but a studio musician) is today? Would have been cool to hear him join the band in this clip!
oliasdoug 4 years ago
the original singer on the record was Ed King(who later joined Lynyrd Skynyrd, lead guitarist on Sweet Home Alabama), he was not a member of SAC, he was a friend who was in the studio, and they got him to sing a take, and that was the one that was used.
At least that's the story i've heard in the rock circles.
REDHAIREDMONSTER 4 years ago
The original singer was Gregg Mumford, a 16 year old who was at the studio but not part of the band. The song was a corporate venture and the words were written by a producer and Greg could sing them when they were awkward for the band members and musical composer.
