Succinctly put.

[crumblingtown]

i so love this song even the different versions sounds so nice,, the melody is awesome.. makes u daydream....

[MrDoncos]

Wonderful wonderful song

[mcgeechan6600]

Indeed by putting 1957 in brackets It does look like the date of the song.

But it is from 1971 ,and is being nostalgic for a period nearly fifteen years before

[MorganHillChristine]

not from 1957 - he's referencing that period of time in the title.

lovely.

[RankielGuitar]

who sang it?

[peetludlow]

Just class. Time I got out my Surf's Up album!

[iamtherealyou]

@peetludlow

Just in time.. Words that rhyme..

[andiamojoe]

Best song ever written.

[AlrightBub]

Absolutely Beautiful!

[sandinyourshoes]

I am so happy Bruce got to sing lead...

[nachodaddy]

@sandinyourshoes Bruce did just fine, but, I still to this day dream of hearing Carl sing it.

[sandinyourshoes]

@nachodaddy, I am sure Carl, too, would have sounded magnificently fine doing the lead. All the fellows of the band were great singers. I also loved how they became so sophisticated in the late 60s, which is similar to the experience of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Talk about old-fashioned dedication to making a good songs.

[OropherThranduil]

@sandinyourshoes

the stones never became sophisticated, but with the stones thank god they returned to bareboned rock instead of trying to copy the beatles again and again, i mean their satanic album sucks balls.

[sandinyourshoes]

@OropherThranduil, oh, sure, they were more polished. The Stones did not just re-hash the same sound over and over. The Exile album is nothing like Aftermath, for example. Their Satanic Majesties Request was very unique. However, not everyone feels the same, of course.

[OropherThranduil]

@sandinyourshoes

from all the 60s band the stones were the band that had the fewest different sounds, the beatles reinvented themselfes with every new album, and they couldn't do anything else, i mean one album full of the sam genre would have been to boring for them to make, that's why we have songs like helter skelter and blackbird on one album.

yeah, aftermath was when they started to try to be versatile like the beatles, and aftermath is a great album, but after that, me, satanic sucks.

[sandinyourshoes]

@OropherThranduil, goodness, The Beatles were "out of this world." No one could deny their amazing work in rock. Your examples of Helter Skelter and Blackbird take the cake. Maybe that is why many fans choose The White Album as their favorite Beatles LP. Their Satanic Majesties Request did not sit well with all rock lovers. I even heard that it produced certain controversy with its edgy selection of songs. Some said it was too "druggie."

[OropherThranduil]

@sandinyourshoes

too druggie, i don't think so, it has some ok songs on it, but the jam stuff is unlistenable and not worth mentioning, overall the album is just to big a rip off of the psychedelic masterpieces of the 66/67 era, the golden age of psychedelia, when bands like jefferson airplane took off, satanic is basically a try at making a sgt pepper, and a failed try.

[sandinyourshoes]

@OropherThranduil, I liked Request, but I have come across many other rock fans who were not too dazzled by it. The Sgt. Pepper element always comes up, and The Beatles win the comparison each time. The psyche era was like none other. Airplane's Pillow and Experience by Hendrix were out of this world.

Old-fashioned rock had tumbled to the wayside, and even Elvis was eclipsed during this time, having fallen too far behind by spending too long working on films that were of another time zone.

[OropherThranduil]

@sandinyourshoes

don't even remind me of those films, but what elvis was doing wasn't even old fashioned rock, it was kitschy movie pop, and yeah, hendrix, hmmmm, cream also, jesus, those guitarist are still the top.

[sandinyourshoes]

@OropherThranduil, Elvis must have become bored with the formula. It seems that it was not until his 68 "comeback" special that he finally revived his musical powers.

[OropherThranduil]

@sandinyourshoes

did you know elvis actually had to change clothes during the commercials since he came into the suite because of all the excitement, and you see it, after all these years of boring soundtracks elvis for the first time in over 8 years lets out all the sex his voice and body build up, the comeback version of heartbreak hotel owns everything plant and co ever sang, elvis voice when that song opens is so damn hard rock.

[sandinyourshoes]

@OropherThranduil, that must have been it, yes! Elvis had bottled up so much energy for quite a few years. It showed in the comeback special. Maybe that is why it became such a classic.

[OropherThranduil]

@sandinyourshoes

oh yeah, parker was such stupid bastard, letting elvis rot in vegas, i mean elvis deserved sold out world tours, but since parker had problems with visa he never made a world tour for elvis, so elvis did meaningless concerts in vegas for years that destroyed him musically.

and i also think elvis loved it to play again with dj and scotty at the special.

[sandinyourshoes]

@OropherThranduil, many say that Elvis was at his "classic best" from the release of his first RCA album to the time he entered the army. After he got out, it was a bonanza of films waiting for him, but the man just spent too long on that wagon. Even The Beatles put a strict limit on the number of movies they would ever make. Some say they worried that they would start to look less credible by appearing too often in the cinema. I just wish the colonel had not controlled Elvis so extensively.

[OropherThranduil]

@sandinyourshoes

oh yeah, do you know elvis only 60s concert before the comeback?

he gave it in 61 for a group of navy soldiers, it still rocks as hard as the early stuff.

i think the beatles just didn't want to make more beatlemaia style movies, and after MMT they discarded movies, but they wanted to make a LotR movie with george as gandalf, ringo as sam i think, paul as frodo and john as gollum XDDD, god, that would have been brilliant.

[ScarletxPromise]

This is amazing,, I didn't know this could possibly be from 1957!

[begbieboy]

@ScarletxPromise

It's not from 1957, but from 1971. The 1951 is just part of the title.

[ScarletxPromise]

@begbieboy

Ooops silly me!

[vwtch]

mono. yuck.

[sfmarklh]

Really nice- hadn't heard the BB sing this... lush - Art Gunfunkel also does this very nice.

[JuneJune1950]

Gosh, that's a lovely piece about the return to reality, possibly after a traumatic experiennce.

Beautiful.

[llewcat]
