Is this the original line-up? --looks later than '72 and yet that appears to be Dave Smalley on bass. DS was replaced after getting fed up with playing bass when Eric took over guitar to be a 'front man'; that was after 'Fresh', so that makes this 1973. Wally plays the lead bit with wonderful elan on this version-- they're already leaving 'bubblegum' behind.
this tune is amazing......bubble gum on steroids or classic rock,, to quote U2 "You know your chewing bubble gum, you know what that is is but you still want some",,,,,,, it tastes really, really, really good!.. so melodic, such drive,can I have another pack?
but!.......(to the melody of please go all the way) "pleeeeeeeease.......loose the guy....... at the end" da da, da da,
Definitely a live track. You can see these guys were the real thing. Can you imagine if this song came out in 1967??? They missed their moment and we lose out. How? Because there would have been 15 or 20 Raspberries LP's if these guys had have hit the right moment and The Raspberries never got to their Sgt. Peppers, let alone their Rubber Soul. That's a shame.
Omg i love this song soo much ever since i heard it on the radio!! And erics voice and that hair is to die for!!! I love the behind the scenes stuff at the end too thanx sooo much for uploading!:)))
That totally rocked. Thanks for posting.

This is a really good one-- appears to be really live (balance off; bass too loud, vocals different, etc.) Excellent choice-- lucky find!

These Flipside TV performances are just plain awesome; esp the smile at 2:18 and the end of the song starting at about 3:00..great energy; great fun!
