I was directed here told you would be experts on a subject that has been giving me great trouble. I have been searching for an answer to this question with no avail for quite some time now. Could you please explain to me where the wind goes? It has to go somewhere, but where?
How wonderful to experience this moment in time..WoW..thank you So much..:-) one of the loves of my life..Jesse Colin Young...great band...awesome groove..
Jesse Colin Young is the good ol' boy of hippies. "Darkness, darkness" gets me melancholic for 'Nam. Except...shit...I live in 'Nam now. More fun before 1975...except for the shooting.
A late 60 early seventies group that didn't get a lot of recognition They were fantastic. listen to their song "Darkness Darkness" about heroin addiction. It is so righteous.
Check the drummer and tell me he doesn't like what e is playing.
So, @astralislux is not into allowing other people to groove to music they like. This person feels they have the right to dictate Their choices and to hell with everyone else. Swim in your own sea of mediocrity and excrement and don't try to come off as oh, so superior. What a bloody jerk! Where you even around during this period of time? Gah!!
I don't know why all these people are talking about hits and mediocrity. The Youngbloods are a classic SF band, they were super talented. The Grateful Dead didn't have too many hits either. It was not a "hit" scene.
Anyway I'm pleased to report my wife and I saw the keyboard player Bananna last month with Barry Melton, he's fantastic and he still has a mop of hair, only it's white now of course!
@revup67 PS gsergyuko - I shut your mouth for good. Now you can shout all you want..no one one can hear you and since you are too stupid to know "YOU ARE BLOCKED". In addition, anyone on this thread can continue to make a mockery of your pitiful self without your barbaric commentary. Don't both logging in under a different name. I'll remove your demonic infested character again. When you arrive in hell may you fall to the lowest level so the devil can crap on your wretched soul.
@qsergyuko by your own admission - let me further add to my comment below, you are the dumbest and THE MOST psycho of the "potential" batch of sextuplets.
Ps Here's my address
13 Tongue MyAsshole Street, Lick Your Balls, New Mexico 89110
@qsergyuko Tell me you are not an idiot. Because I wrote New Mexico you think I am Mexican? Wow are you a complete douche bag. Now I bet you think I am French because I wrote douche. Thanks to the admin it's piñata time!
@qsergyuko it's too bad that with all the sperm that entered your mother's womb she had to give birth to the dumbest one. Hopefully she didn't have sextuplets.
One of their best tunes. The version most people remember is the one from Elephant Mountain but there is a live version on the LP entitled Ride The Wind that is very similar to this one but clocks in at 9 minutes!! This sounds like a truncated version of that one. From the same time period so it sounds almost identical.
I forgot all about this song. Thanks so much for posting it. He had such an amazing voice, so much style, and they were soooo tight. I believe he sang in 4 octaves -- incredible for a man!
the live album under this same name has some of the most amazing youngblood tracks I have listened too. This youtube snag is but a glimpse at these fellows stylings. beautiful and dolphin are by far the most played on my i.tunes. I was negative 5 when this video was captured by the way.
@MrJojogun Very True! And Robert Plant did a recent version of it, too, as have others. Also there's That's the Way I Feel About You, another great song, & covered by Dan Fogelberg/Tim Weisberg, & others..
The Youngbloods were more than a one-hit wonder, just because bands only had one "charted" tune, means nothing as to their quality.
@astralislux: This remark also informs the world of your narrow and limited diversity on the term "music". Since you are swayed by solely "HIT" music, may I suggest a song that was in fact a hit ? It is called "Silence Is Golden" by the Tremloes. Thank you for your contribution and self incriminating faux pas.
@revup67 Thanks! The Youngbloods did a lot of great things besides Get Together, and this song is a classic example. There was also Quicksand, Tears Are Falling, Grizzly Bear, Sunlight, among many others. Each member was a strong presence individually, and together they were dynamite. When Jerry Corbitt left, I wasn't sure what to think, but Jesse, Joe and Banana more than proved their mettle as a threesome.
@astralislux some people just want to get others upset, right?
No doubt that "Get Together" is one of the all-time great 60s pop singles, but to judge this performance against that record and find it wanting is to miss a dynamic jam with incredible playing between a trio that could probably wipe the floor with most competition then and now! Can't help pitying you a bit...
@astralislux Perhaps there lies a modicum of truth in your statement, for mediocrity fulfills it's bleak definition in those replete with nothing which gives them cause to rise above the sea of human excrement, hence your comment rides upon the winds of need for dimensions of spirit & soul rarely known by those like you who's simple taste is greatly challenged even by rare Partridge Family tunes emanating from the less highly rated episodes let alone one such as this paradigm of euphoric rapture
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Listening to this I am reminded of how much the Youngbloods sucked back then. This is like shaving over an old scar and opening it up again...Painful.
@mullerheinrich Mr. Muller Heimlich: - you have no sense of quality music. We can't help that your shaving expertise is only precipitated by your obvious poor vision and hearing. CVS has salt sticks for $1 to halt your all too often bleeding.
The Youngbloods are great. Aside from their commercial hits, they made some fantastic instrumental background songs for the 1970 saturday morning TV show "Hot Dog".
I saw these guys at a gym dance at Barnard College in February 1970 and basically stood at Banana's feet the entire show. Jesse played bass and some rhythm guitar, but Banana was the musical talent in the band. Jesse had one of those 'can't go wrong' voices, and as 3-piece, they stood as tall as anyone on the scene. Those were the days!
zapped but he smiles and the band play on great song this video is sweet for all you who got to see this band live niiiice the wine and fresh air must of smelled lovely keep on chooglin Bean68
He looks like he gets shocked by the mike at 3:19, elephant mountain is a collection of sort of odd but great stuff, up until this video, I always thought banana just played bass.

Thanks so much for posting this! I was in love with Jesse and even named my second child after him! Amazed to see in other videos he somehow got old... like i did. Loved the feelings.. thanks again!
I saw one of the final performances of the Youngbloods in June 1972 at Pepperland in San Rafael, a local show for the band. It was truly sad to see the Youngbloods come to an end, but of course it was a new beginning for Jesse Colin Young who embarked on a solo career and Banana began playing with Mimi Farina.
Raccoon records didn't put out any drivel-- it was all FUN! And why not, they was not expensive recordings and they were spontaneous-- i loved that label --also
Since Elephant Mountain was out in 1969, i would guess this clip could well be likely from the latter half of that year
guess i was too harsh; unfortunately it hurt other artists in getting their own imprints. look, i have crab tunes, moonset, banana's lp, but it is mostly jams or snippets, not worthy of a full album (except for the banana and the bunch LP which has some good tunes)- and don't get me wrong, joe bauer is one of my fave drummers ever - RIP (him and BJ Wilson, also RIP)
The late Joe Bauer added such a nice, jazz-y touch to their sound. Other than "Get Together", which they didn't write, this band is largely forgotten today and yet, in their day, Warner Brothers Records gave them their own label imprint, Raccoon Records..and they put out a lot of drivel on it and it was pulled...
Great Post! I came up in the Bay Area and saw these guys at Fillmore and the Avalon. My favorite all time concert was at the Family Dog at the Beach. The Dead, Quicksilver and Youngbloods opened. These guys were archetypical... this stuff still holds up all these years later.
Very cool tune, haven't heard it in decades! Saw them at the Kinetic Playground in Chi-town, they were the opening act, w/2 sets a night, but when they came back for their second, they were jamming so well, the headliner never came back out, and the audience was glad!!
@Souleros this quote alone is by far the most telling thing.
"they were jamming so well, the headliner never came back out, and the audience was glad!! " I mentioned this on a post earlier but I was negative 5 when this was recorded. I envy you since you know them more than just digitally but due to my age that is just how it is.
Great tune and excellent performance. I haven't heard this since I was 14. What a vocal and the late Joe Bauer gets my drummer's nod for his latin jazz chops.
Many thanks for posting this - it i the first time I have seen this performance. Banana has a truly great hairdo and whiskers on this one.
I heard that Joe the drummer passed away. Anyone tell me if that is really so? Makes me sad to think of him no longer with us - I thought he was a fine player.
according to Jerry's daughter Joe Bauer unfortunately he died of a brain tumor about 25 years ago. Indeed he was an excellent drummer as I have been drumming since 1972 and have always felt his playing was very snappy but also creative
