Unreal, the 60swere awesome! I grew up in the 80s but I really appreciate the 60s music and culture. This reminds me of summers in the late 80s when I used to ride my bike down Chicago's lakefront path all the time. Had a POS old Walkman and cassettes. But I enjoyed much "greener" days back then, if you dig my drift.

What a great band.

[janmarina1]

awesome thank you so much (im trying to not be jealous you saw them there-smile)

[GDextersTube]

Having seen them live a few times ,, no videos do their music justice ,,, They pulled the studio version of this song off youtube , for what ever reason ... and personally I think it sucks ...Put it back out there ...

[karmices]

Gary Duncan on lead guitar here. He also played lead guitar on the studio version. He is playing John Cipollina's Gibson SG here though.

[Chrix Thornton]

Hey, guys.....I hope this song was helped by the pot I sold you back in 69'.

Great tribute song. Peace and love Bros

[Whatwoc1]

I saw them , probably in 1971 , I think in Boca Raton Florida, maybe West Palm Beach..

[ernest ullrich]

you asked what I think. Sorry I can't think. So I guess it's good.

[Templar451]

I love that his voice is SPOT ON. The singing without auto-tune, the instrument work without over tracking..... I feel sorry for kids today. So few good choices out there now.
