Classic late 1960s Prog Rock-Psychedelic music with a twist - it changes rhythm & melody halfway through and comes out the other side...really cool! It was a hip hippie anthem signifying the end of the Sixties and the dawn of the Seventies.
As an 11 year old, I heard this song playing for the first time when I returned to the US on our way back East and we were in Seattle. I was on one of the upper floors of a hotel overlooking the city and Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountain Range across it on one of those occasional spectacularly clear beautiful blue sky days. It was inspiring. I've never forgotten that feeling.

There was alot more brutality and abuse by the government back then. There wasnt any video phones and all the social networks and if the media or press wasnt present, alot of things went down.And that provoked alot of protesters to get a little agressive too.But there was an awful lot of peaceful demonstrations too.. Against the war and for civil rights
the occupy movement isnt a movement. its a bunch of publicity hounds trying to outdo the other for face time on the news. we had a point, goals, and a focus in the 60's, and we actually got things done. we also didnt commit violent acts-that was abhorrent and completely against what we stood for. so please dont equate the occupy airheads with 60's protests. there is no comparison. occupy is a reality tv show, the 60's protests were reality.
@HSECMAN You must have been super high if you claim there where no violent protesters in the 1960s. IM SORRY but that's bullshit. The Anti-Vietnam protesters were violent. YOU can Youtube them and look for yourselves. Yes Vietnam was wrong the wrong place to be but do not try to rewrite history. YES I also understand police/national guard were deadly/brutal towards Anti-Vietnam war protesters.
@HSECMAN The Occupy movement got hijacked before it even got off the ground. Don't think for one second that these CIA agent provocateurs are the real deal. It had cointelpro written all over it.
'We are the ones we have been waiting for' makes perfect sense to me, it's quite simply a call to stop looking for someone else to fix the problems. If you're another bitter 60's child who thinks there is no qualified social movement happening today, but at the same time is more worried about your retirement than what happens in the rest of society, go crawl in a hole.
At 47 years old, this is one of my top ten favorite songs. Throw in that worthless, time wasting and extremely meaningless occupy CRAP and I'm gonna have to start listening to the Bee Gee's. Figure out what your cause is and let the world know. "I don't have a job and I don't want a job, but gimmee, Gimmee, GIMMEE!!!"
Occupy movement needs to adopt protest music of the 60s. That music helped bring people together in numbers to protests and rallies back then. You just cant go around beating a drum with a message that is all over the place.
This song greatly inspired me when I first heard it years ago, it still does now, and it will for the rest of my life, as I work on inspiring the whole world to be happy, healthy and successful with my own inspirational pop songs. I have created the world's most inspirational website, which you can get to via my YouTube channel.
Today's revolution is as much of a conscience awakening movement as any movement before it. MY generation revolutioned us right into today's issues. Be honest with yourselves about that at least 'baby boomers'. Only those who lack cultural awareness could assume the music of Woody Guthrie's era, (my grandparents generation), through today music is meant only for the era in which they are written in. Music is timeless ~~ as are it's messages.
@84heroes1 What complete bullshit. Are you so self absorbed that the idea that 1% possess most of the nation's wealth & use their wealth to corrupt our system of gov't & diminish the effect your vote... is beyond your faculties? Are you so insular in your thinking that you disconnect from the people you work with, live next to or interact with on a daily basis? Simple idea; confrontation with the financial industry by showing up at their place of business with a simple set of demands.
Listen:... Call out the instigators Because there's something in the air We've got to get together sooner or later Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right Lock up the streets and houses Hand out the arms and ammo We're going to blast our way through here We've got to get together sooner or later Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right And you know that it's right We have got to get it together Now!!!!
I love this song! They play like they mean it! It gives me a Last Gasp of the 60' feeling. This came out well after the heyday of the youth revolt they sing about here. Maybe Thunderclap Newman looked around and saw nothing like a revolution was taking place and wrote it. The piano solo adds nothing to this song in my opinion.
@heliot58 I think it came out right in the middle of the youth revolt. I first heard it in the movie " The Strawberry Statement" . Right in the middle of it all.
@goodthing52 I've heard about it but i've never seen the movie you mentioned, I think these guys had some association with the Who prior to this. I really first heard this on FM in my small town in early, mid-70's. I always felt it was a song kind of looking back at the 60's. But it looks like it was out way sooner than i thought. Thanks for info!
In recent years it's been conservatives now & again bring up the Th. Jefferson quote: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure." Back around '68 I doubt they referenced it all that much! It's swinging around maybe nearer these days to how it was when this song came out. - Govt. is far from the only monkey-poor angel set on our shoulders.
Those protesters near Wall St aren't drawing blood...
@gvt2u The MOOG synthesizer WAS here before this song was made. My father had the MOOG album that was put out on LP in the early to mid-sixties. It was a genius thing to do. The album is really a demonstration of the many sounds that the synthesizer could create. If you can find a copy of the album, it is truly worth listening to. Very surreal sounds, for sure.
The late Jimmy McCullough on guitar here. He's the guy standing next to the piano player. Jimmy went on to be in Paul McCartney And Wings in the mid 70's.
I never hear this song on the radio anymore,even on the oldie stations.One night the D.J. on a new oldies station was taking requests.I asked him to play this song and he had never heard of it!Lame.
@Baskerville22 Lyrics are a call to do something about this messed world we live in. Which we tried to do back then. Generation today rather tweet and play games on iphone.
@0neuponatime "We have got to get it together...now" Hardly a political manifesto. Pop songs don't express - much less argue for - policies or practical measures. They are as useless as grafitti. Any drooling idiot can whine that they want a better world, but the mark of a serious adult is to offer reasoned alternatives...and the political course required to get there. Chanting "make love, not war" and parrotting, "Revolution, Now !!" is infantile and deluded.
@Baskerville22 What you call infantile and deluded had alot to do with ending Vietnam war. Reasoned alternatives are offered but when a government doesnt listen to the poeple , what is the alternative? Through hundreds of years , what you call drooling idiots have overthrown oppressive governments and dictators.Case in point, Egypt recently. No alternative right now but Mubarak had to go.So stop with your intellectual bullshit.
@Baskerville22 whats really infantile is someone who doesnt get it assuming this or any song was intended to be a manifesto in the 1st place. they were ideas,points of view,common ground.opinions expressed musiclly by artists,not politicians or leaders of some front.you might be better off reading newspapers as lyrical prose is obviously lost on you
@asimov13647 It happened. You missed it. You were supposed to do real "significant" things like demonstrating on your college campus. Because that as we all know/knew, was the place to make big changes in the world. Don't you see how much we impacted the world with our demonstrations? LOL!
@beentheredonethatb4 Impact? How about civil rights. And helping to end a war. And more freedom for women in the workplace. And ending a bogus draft. Go ahead and laugh. What impact have you had.

@goodthing52 Also my parents didnt foot any bills for me. And I had responsibilities and one was speaking up for what I thought was right. And I have no regrets.
I was responding to the original poster. There was no revolution. We protested and made some changes, but our big notion of revolution never materialized. Power to the people. Nope. Still government control. They give/gave us what they wanted to shut us up.
Because the REVOLUTION"S here! And you know it's right! And you know that it's right! We have GOT to get it together, we have GOT to get it together, NOW!
This video was on a DVD I had called Psychedelic High.....it's a DVD of mostly Beat Club performances in England. Digitally remastered. I highly recommend it.
i always liked the orchestration on this. nice strings, horns, etc. its odd these guys only had this one noted release. but their other releases sounded the same as this one. the other thing is that this song came out with a lot of other revolution themed songs and it got lost in the background.

As of may 27,2011 Thunderclap Newman would be monitored with warrant less wire taps. The lyrics from something in the air could possibly make the band get looked at as domestic terrorists.
@xxdonaldqxxx Years ago, FBI had files on John Lennon and Grace Slick says there was a file on her. And many others. Big Brother I guess. Less and less freedom it seems.
thats the tiniest lead guitar player ive seen. i take it back-we had a lead guitarist who was shorter than that guy. he a had a huge gibson, bigger than the thunderclap is playing, i think the guitar was bigger than he was. but he could whip on that axe!
Man these guys play their heart out...loved this from way back when....song was in the movie Strawberry Statement with a lot of good Crosby, stills and nash stuff...was a great flick that really caught the mood of the sixties
i would love to play piano like this...gonna give it my all. great song and brings back such great summertime memories!!!!! They are soooooo young!!!!!!

i always liked the orchestration on this. nice strings, horns, etc. its odd these guys only had this one noted release. but their other releases sounded the same as this one. the other thing is that this song came out with a lot of other revolution themed songs and it got lost in the background.

As of may 27,2011 Thunderclap Newman would be monitored with warrant less wire taps. The lyrics from something in the air could possibly make the band get looked at as domestic terrorists.

@xxdonaldqxxx Years ago, FBI had files on John Lennon and Grace Slick says there was a file on her. And many others. Big Brother I guess. Less and less freedom it seems.

thats the tiniest lead guitar player ive seen. i take it back-we had a lead guitarist who was shorter than that guy. he a had a huge gibson, bigger than the thunderclap is playing, i think the guitar was bigger than he was. but he could whip on that axe!

Powerful without being angry, an anthem for an era. Getting it together is nowhere near as hard as keeping it together.

Here's some irony: Old daddy, Fred Koch began his fortune that he passed on to his sons, by getting a contract with comrade Stalin in 1929.
