Barracuda - The Standells

[gwugluud]

In the 70s I'd find Standells, Seeds, Blues Magoos LPs in pawn shops and used record stores for fifty cents each! Then when I was at the register they'd be looking at me all like, "This isn't Lynyrd Skynyrd, so it must suck, what r u buying this for?" Idiots, LOL!

That certainly would have been the time to be snatching this stuff up!

@kingvidiot66 I'm very fortunate to have stayed w/ my grandparents for awhile when I was about 7,8 years old in 1965 and 66, and my uncle was high-school aged and would spend all his money on records. He'd come home w/ another armload of LPs and we'd listen to them and look at the covers and all. Brit invasion stuff, Blues Magoos, etc. I have no doubt that this shaped my taste in music. W/out that, I could've turned out to be a Bob Segar/Atlanta Rhythm Section moron! Who knows?

seems the guys had the time of their life :-) It's all there, the rawness and attidute which i miss from today's arena rock-dinosaurs. Sounds as good as it was back in '66

Standells & Sonics, even today you guys a pure punk!!

I'm really impressed by this gig. They really have it together. DIck Dodd kicks ass vocally and as a stickman. The backups are a bit flat but hey thats rock and roll.

More convincing than The Stones

these days.

[Avebury]

Way better than the Heart song!

[vangelisideras]

impresionante, se escuchan muy vigentes, verdaderos maestros del garage americano, muy bueno gracias.

[BurtonTommyBoy]

Brilliant video! Thanks.

The original lp/cd version is Fantastic! This still sounds good though.
