[RedVynil]

THOSE are outlandish clothes????

[arianajeann]

FUCK OFF CREDITS. I WANT TO SEE THE STANDELLS.

[gemear2]

I love this Standells track, and the rest of the music of this movie lifts it up. I like the fact that he is singing into what appears to be a candle.

[Chizoom]

The song was written by bassist John Fleck who is still with the Standells today. The group continues to do the song in concert, beginning with this film clip. Visit the Standells official Facebook page to learn more.

[haj1909]

No, thanks. I'll take the bus.... DANGEROUS!

[merseymain]

After 1966 London, 1967 Los Angeles must've been THEE place t be.

[charlyW34]

Sure, groovy, right after chow!... LOL!!!!

[Chizoom]

"Where the Action Is: Los Angeles Nuggets 1965-1968" has been nominated for “Best Historical Album”. As many know, the Standells "Riot on Sunset Strip" is the lead off song for the CD set, and the Standells headlined last year at the Amoeba Music event, celebrating the CD's kick-off.

[lincbond442]

I was born 20 years too late.

[squintchy]

Good old American International: source of many great 1960's biker movies.

[weezieJ]

"Donut block the sidewalk"

[stargate121]

The streets sure were clean back then.

[DA90027]

Sorry but true 60's music can never be recreated. They can come close but this music had a certain charm and charisma that can't be duplicated.

I've heard some that comes very close but it still lacks a certain quality.

[MrSuedehead72]

aaaaargh!!!!!!!! génial!!!! un classique!!!!

[ramblnrose]

I was at Pandora's Box that night. lol

[ModGirl1967]

This is great!

[ArohaaArtemisia]

ahany guys want to chat i feel sooo lonely

[cshargeit]

all this youth stuff helps me remember the dads made over 300k a years by comparison.. these were the palisades kids. make me want to sniff glue.

[dnggitg]

Mimsy Farmer! Damn...

[rollingold1]

I remember seeing this movie, a real time machine, The Stonsy Chocolate Watchband were the best group in this film.

[MattHatter]

GROOVY! RIGHT AFTER CHOW! LOL!

[dearyogini]

"Riff Raff" LOL

[RRaquello]

Interesting credits. Jim Lefebvre & Al Ferrara. Two Dodgers players. Who did they play in this film?

[cuznvinnie818]

@RRaquello I think they played two cops. You wouldn't see Baseball players with long hair in the 60's.

[RiotCity66]

This version of  "Riot On Sunset Strip" is not as good as the 45 version released in early 1967 - the vocal on the 45 is MUCH stronger, and in general the instrumental sound is tougher. Nice to see the opening of the movie though. The performances by the Chocolate Watchband in the movie are also real good.

[6749er]

I'm from SF but was down in LA during the "riots" on The Strip-Kids wern't doing anything compared to Haight St. in SF but

the LA Cops were such uptight assholes.

We got out of there back north where we could be FREE to have Fun!

[howardstern666]

LA cops are still assholes

[punkrockxzz]

i love how piercing that guitar solo is! great band

[yockybunny]

This is my favorite American International

Picture ever!! I make it a point to watch it

at least once a year. It reminds me of

those cool Dragnet 67 episodes. :)

[Chizoom]

Amazingly, ALL FOUR of the original band members are still performing together. See the Standells personal Facebook page.

[RogerDaltrey89]

what an awesome film, what an awesome song, what an awesome band, what an awesome CROWD!

[genericgeorge]

you sad cunt

[genericgeorge]

Punk, 10 years before it became fashionable

[Khultan]

'Punk' is a media term that you bought into it, I see, you clueless leech.

[genericgeorge]

And what is clueless about it asswipe?

[Khultan]

Ha ha....'punk' term coined not by the actual musicians in describing themselves in the united States (specifically in New York city) in the 1970s nor in the U.K. originated from news journalists. You sheep.

[genericgeorge]

Fuck you're so hip lol. It doesnt matter who coins the term whether it be categorised as heavy metal, rock, pop, pyschedelia, etc. The fact is it helps people define the style of music. Do you understand angry old man? This song is an example of 'punk' in 1967 and could have been performed by a punk band in the 70's. Probably did influence punks that came 10 years later.

[Khultan]

Bwa ha ha ha 'angry old man'? Okay, Ha ha ha! Thanks for  making a laugh!! Ha ha ha Your name is best describing you, generic....LOL

[unr74]

I wonder if they're AARP members now.

[TheLateBlackRob]

Dick Dodd was some musician: The singing drummer who could move his mic stand from left to right, and back again, without missing a beat ...

[cinecitta66]

This one has a very punky feel and beat (I mean seventies punk) that is unusual even for the Standells (one of my fav bands).

[smeegma]

Nice vintage street rod. Very clean.

[74sodapop]

Groooooovy

[lixie1]

One of my favorite movies of all time! GROOVY!!

[GentlemanTony]

The girl at 1:43 (& again at 2:45)is just gorgeous. 74sodapop, you are correct.

[scotpens]

Yes, she's a major babe. The dark-haired one is cute too -- she looks like a young Cher.

[genericgeorge]

Absolutely. Seriously gawgus.

[cutis1000]

They don't look like high school age. More college.

[Yesimustbestupid]

Definitely college. Oh, well, it's very difficult to ever have casted real high school aged kids.

[scotpens]

Those "kids" do look too old for the characters they're playing, but movies of the 1950s and '60s always did that. In the original version of "The Blob," Steve McQueen played a high-school senior -- at 28!

[WallyPlumstead]

Hmmm... what to do about the youth problem?

Bust some nightsticks over the heads of that damn riff-raff for starters... lol!! LSD, free love, joints, psychodelic rock... hey! Where do I sign up?!!

Good Standells appearance. Groovy!

[scotpens]

Maybe it's the youth who have an "old people problem"!

Remember "Wild in the Streets"?

[jimihendrixofdrums]

ive never seen such riff-raff! thanx fer thiz.

[bschins82]

can you upload the whole movie on here? id like to see all of it

[MtMozart]

What to do about the "YOUTH PROBLEM"?? LOL! Guess that got itself all worked out. Heh.

[AVictorRex]

This is mild stuff compared to today's Hip-Hop youth.

[74sodapop]

Still a trip. I love that poor old guy.The authorities should do something about this riff-raff.Hilarious.

[wearemartians]

@74sodapop wonder what he would make of n-dubz

[diddywahdaddy]

"-Hey, I just got a great idea! Let's go down to Pandora's Box tonight! - Crazy! - I dig that!" Did the hipsters of the Strip really talk like THAT in those days?

[wintergreen88]

The people who wrote the screenplays to teen movies were 30+, so the teens in the movies spoke the same way as teens did when the screenplay writer was 17 or 18. Did you ever see the movie "High School Confidential"? What we consider to be the sixties style of talking like saying "dig" or "crazy" is not really just from the sixties. People actually spoke like that back in the mid to late fifties.

[diddywahdaddy]

That's exactly what i thought, thanks. Quite funny, daddy-o! ;-D

[oldschoolhero66]

@AVictorRex Perhaps..but is it as good? I wont even answer that...

[TheZhongzheng]

@AVictorRex True ! but far far cooler

[immolation333]

@AVictorRex Spoken like somebody who was a teenager in the 60's. 

[squintchy]

@AVictorRex A hell of a lot more politically active though.

[Khultan]

@AVictorRex  It's a movie dude.

[RedVynil]

@AVictorRex TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!! If only the fuzz would've left them alone, there wouldn't have been any riots!!

[luangu]

swinginnnnnnn!
