@TheYaom, I live in NYC and couldn't have said it any better. Passing by a Starbucks window and seeing at least 5 asses in a row hanging out of low-cut pants-and these are supposedly educated women that should know better. And don't get me started with the gangster rap mentality a lot of people...

...Continued from previous post: So I hope when a kid sees what's on Disney nowadays-Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, Selena Gomez, The Jonas Brothers, etc-they see the "bigger picture" eventually and check out Disney's older stuff.

Hard to believe the lead singer (Howard Kaylan) is only 18 years old in this video (so is Mark Volman)! I understand that Jim Tucker left the band in '67 because of some harsh comments John Lennon made towards the group?

@tgif223 The bass player is Jim Pons. He replaced Chip Douglas who was recruited by Michael Nesmith to produce and play bass on The Monkees' "Headquarters" album. Pons also played with Zappa in the 70's.

I also heard from a friend that the reason Jagger grew a beard at this time was to cover up a facelift. Both Jagger and Brian Jones briefly sported beards in 1968 and there are photo's to confirm this.

Cheryl Crow has about as much business being in this line-up as would Kid Rock...

Carol Kaye played on this? Just found out Hal Blaine played drums on this, too. Geez, what DIDN'T those two play on in the 60's??

@fielderty Good question, Sons of Champlin were great, too. Too bad Chicago were already producing corporate pop crap by the time Bill Champlin joined them.

Hit the "thumbs up" button if your introduction to this song was a McDonald's commercial from the late '70's ("We start out with an English muffin then we add some cheese and something...").

Anyone besides me catch the fact that this jingle was set to "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2"? Franz Liszt must have been rolling in his grave over that...

Bass player Chas Chandler: only 2 years later he would be managing Jimi Hendrix, and producing his first 2 albums, "Are You Experienced", and "Axis: Bold as Love".

Up until just now I was only aware of "the other Jim McCarty"-the British drummer who played with Clapton, Beck and Page in The Yardbirds. But now I want to hear more of Jim McCarty the guitarist (and Werner, too) and Cactus in general! I guess I was just too busy listening to Led Zeppelin and ...

Beck, Bogert and Manson? Seriously, though; this is my first time hearing The Nice; and I'm going to be checking out A LOT more of their music today. Along with The Move and The Idle Race...

@soundofmusic65 A lot of men who were born 10, 20, and even 40 years or more before Lennon, McCartney etc. and who didn't like the Beatles (or rock music in general) and who didn't like their long hair styles; were suddenly sporting side-burns, facial hair, and longer hair styles; starting in the...

@beatlesgirl978 Well, Pete's younger brother Roag was the love child of his mother Mona and the Beatles' road manager and personal assistant (and later head of Apple Corps) Neil Aspinall; so I'm sure that created conflicting feelings in him, too.

@whofan68, Well, it's not surprising you hear some "Dixieland" influence in some of their '60's music (are you referring to "Cobwebs and Strange" and "Here 'Tis" as examples?). Both Entwistle and Townshend played in several trad jazz and Dixieland groups in the early '60's.

Funny how much James McCartney resembles (strikingly so!) a younger, clean-shaven Vivian Stanshall of the Bonzo Dog Band (who appeared in the "Magical Mystery Tour" Film) more than the younger Paul McCartney.

Thanks for posting this in its entirety! Have been looking for this for years! Nice to see "The Dexter Riley Trilogy" all on YouTube. And does anyone besides me think that "Schuyler" looks like the love-child of Peter Tork of the Monkees, and Eric "Ben Walton" Scott of "The Waltons"?

@countryboy66 A lot of today's "country music" about marketing and lifestyle. It's not about the music-it's about reinforcing your lifestyle with the Wal-Mart mentality music of your favorite cowboy-hat wearing "country-music" "performer". A lot of the current "country music" scene is just so d...

Thanks for this clip. Peter was great as always, didn't like Micky's "aging pop star" ponytail, and didn't know Nesmith shaved his beard off during that reunion tour (I thought he shaved it off a few years after that).

I've noticed a lot of comments below about Zappa not being mentioned, or featured; when a documentary about the '60's comes on. And how come you never hear his music on "classic radio" stations? And when a film comes out that takes place in the '60's, you can bet your bottom dollar it will feat...

Play this song on your car's audio system, followed by Kraftwerk's "Autobahn", then after that Golden Earring's "Radar Love"; and you've got yourself some serious highway music.

Yep, I too thought Eric Siday played a Musitron on this (as was used in Del Shannon's "Runaway"); but apparently he used a Moog modulator synthesizer.

Thanks for posting this in it's entirety! Years ago my sister gave me a bootleg record of this very concert for a Christmas present (from a record store in Dayton, Ohio called "Second Time Around", in case anyone's interested!) but I did not know that the entire concert was videotaped as well, h...

I wish The Osmonds had stayed in the direction they were going with "Crazy Horses", "Hold Her Tight", and "The Plan" album. I can't stomach their later disco, Donnie and Marie crap.

@lennonzappa71, ignore my last post. After watching this clip I started feeling nostalgic and typed in "Osmonds Yo-Yo" but typed it in the comments section accidentally. What I REALLY wanted to say was that Don looks 20 years younger than he is; and that it's a shame that his younger sister Lan...

This training video is worse (but just as laughable) as the ones I had to endure as a former employee of the Virgin Mega-WHORE.

@chris88 I was thinking the same thing. There have been many cases of people being nearly decapitated and surgeons successfully reattaching the head. Plus all of the successful limb replants and transplants. So it wouldn't surprise me if Mike the Chicken had existed nowadays, that doctors woul...

As much as I like their later, harder stuff in the early 70's; I really enjoy the more poppy stuff on the "A Quick One" and "Sell Out" albums. And I love the "weird" stuff like "Disguises" and "Armenia City in the Sky".

FINALLY- a pop/rock band that DIDN'T have long hair and/or sideburns in 1966! LOL

Ha! The camera focuses more on John than Pete! A rare treat in the '60's!

I agree with you; part of what makes this song appealing is the musicianship (that bass line!). And in a few months, pretty much the same session guys that played on "These Boots" would be rippin' it up on The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations".

Yeah, I just found out he played bass guitar on The Door's debut album, too. And that's him playing that lovely, nifty harpsichord part on The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You". What a career!

@Bill, Larry Knechtel played harpsichord on this. I knew he was part of "The Wrecking Crew" and played on a lot of stuff from The Monkees to The Beach Boys and was a member of Bread in the 70's; but did not know until fairly recently that he also played bass guitar on The Door's first album (inc...
