  • The audio clip "Hi boys & girls, I'm Jimmy Carl Black and I'm the Indian of the group" is actually Mike Nesmith of the Monkees. Zappa once appeared w/ Nesmith at the beginning of their TV show — they impersonated each other. Can somebody find and post that clip, huh?

  • The "Hi boys & girls, I'm Jimy Carl Black.." audio clip is actually Mike Nesmith of the Monkees. Yes, it's true -- and Zappa appeared once w/ Nesmith on the opening sequence for the TV show. They impersonated each other. Can someone dig up that clip, huh?

  • i'm a diehard Litter fan from MN and i highly recommend checking out their cds. they kick ass! they put out 2 local label hard to find lps called distortions and $100 fine; both are great; another cd with some of their stuff and another great garage band from Ely, MN called The Electras is titled The Scotty Story. After the Litter broke up a couple members formed a band called White Lightning and they have a cd out titled Strikes Twice which is really great also. check 'em out.

  • Footage is actually the band The Litter that didn't work out for the film (the actual live audio from it is on their rare late 80's K-tel reissue cd's) love to try & synch it sometime.

  • Dig the strobes at 1.20!

  • Wow! Thanks for that detailed reply!

  • The Electric Theater, which opened on April 5, 1968, the day after the assassination of Martin Luther King. . I remember Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention,Jeff Beck(with Rod Stewart), Fleetwood Mac, The Small Faces (with Rod Stewart), Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother & the Holding Co. (with Janis Joplin) Grateful Dead. The loudest band was definitely The Who and one of the best shows was a bill of Led Zepplin, Jethro Tull and Vanilla Fudge, each playing the customary two sets.

  • This is probably the only footage of the inside of The Eletric Theatre/Kinetic Playground 4812 N Clark St in Chicago which featured some of the best Rock Band's on Earth at the time! I remember opening night April 5, 1968 what a Trip!!! thank's for the post the movie Medium Cool is now out of print.
