John Byner introduces Crabby Appleton

[flyingsaucer66]

This is awesome! Do you know what show this is from? (there seem to be a couple of other music clips here on YouTube from the same show w/John Byner)

@flyingsaucer66, The show was called "Something Else" Host was John Byner.  '69-'70

WOW! Where did you get this? Do you have any more performances from this show? I believe it was called Something Else. I was really into Crabby Appleton which is why I watched it. I seem to remember a performance by Ides Of March as well.

Haha, Mike running for his guitar, this is GREAT!!

CRABBY APPLETON! Yes, they were a great band, but largely flew under the radar. Shame, that. But this song did make the Top 40, I believe.

And John BYNER! OMG, how freakin' YOUNG we were back then! (John Byner turned down the part of "Mork, from Ork").

Could never understand why Crabby Appleton were so ignored.  They were a really great band.

Agree with Mike. I remember hearing it a few times on the radio back when it scraped the charts in '70. A truly great yet largely ignored rock n roll song.

saw these guys back in 1969 opening for the guess who, i remember the organ player slaming his hammond on the stage, very 60's

[truckinphillie]

been looking for this one to show my kids! They should make a movie with Hugh Jackman of these guys. The singer and Hugh look an awful lot alike. Bet the movie would be better than "Almost Famous". Love this band!

Certainly not ignored by me CJurasin. This is one of my favorist from my time in high school back in the 70s.

[MikeBlitzMag]

A record that was roughly four years behind its time. And in this case, that's saying a lot!

[kingkoeller]

They really rock!!

[kissalivein75]

One of my favorites during that era.

[CJurasin]
