What a shame we never heard of them over here. At least not that I know, maybe I was too young to notice... long live internet. There's still so much good music to discover.

[bbscala]

But it is so nice to have it all now! I was too young back then but now.. it's a blast to see these bands play!! Thank the powers that be for keeping these guys around and in good shape! They can go the distance and they, like fine wine, only better with age!!!

:-)

Bek!

Absolutely great. What clubs did they play in the Village? Great post.

[bbscala]

I will ask Ralph .. all I ever hear about in the Village is The NIGTHOWL CAFE! ;-) I know there where more but that is where they were playing regularly when they were discovered and signed!

:-)

Beki!

I was there that night. Lot of good bands but seeing the Magoos live was the best. Great set. I remember Billie Jean being a standout and that girl had an amazing solo. You should post a vid of that too.

Thanks for the memory and please tour I'd love to see you again.

[bbscala]

Thanks !! Yeah it was a blast.. !!

that girl on lead was ME, by the way! I appreciate your complimetn! I'm RAlph's wife, by the way .. the whole family is Pyschedelic ;-)

Thanks again.. I will pass this on to Ralph! Watch for more Magoo gigs, recordings, etc!

Love,

Beki!

Ralph looks & sounds the same, & Espo, that was innovative guitar for that time.

One of the best pop songs of all time!

Seeing you guys together makes me what to call some old friends.

Love the Blues Magoos. One of my fave bands. Nobody in the world ever and since sang the Gotta get away part--- he he he he he he he with 2 singers.A unique part in musical history, like the invention of holes in Swiss Cheese. That statement sounds silly but simple things like that make life special.

Thanks for posting. First time I saw footage of the band after their heyday and they didn't dissapoint at all.

@bbscala Hello to Ralph and Beka...This Albee and yes my lifetime friend Ralph opened the doors to music which I still enjoy today........Great clip........Good job Peppy...Love you all!

[micheladavis]

sweet, real nice, my friends band opened for them in a local club in 69 or 70. they were as cool off stage as their throw down on, if memory serves me.

I love these guys. Saw them 3 times live when they used to play a club in Detroit called the Chessmate. They put out three great albums that still get regular play in my house. Love that Basic Blues Magoos LP especially.

[80sVideoLord]

BTW you guys sound great.

The guy playing lead looks like the guy who sold me a modified hardrock specialized bike in 1999 when I lived in Woodstock - he said he was in Blues Magoos ( I was the clean cut hippy dude who worked at Lanadau Grill as a waiter. I just sold the bike and it served me well. Hope you guys are all well. I always liked your stuff. I have a 60s tribute band called Lemonade Pie in Jersey - we're gonna cover this one. Good luck with your touring. Peace and glad you got it up and going again. Cheers!

Loved it then & still love this song.Greatness lives--Bruce in Oregon.

[marcfedak]

It's great to see the Blues Magoos are still around and playing. Showing them at practice is a great idea. You could see that the still love playing. The only drawback was the recent live performance - to capture their essence, I would have turned down the snare drum, bring up the farfisa and add whigged out distortion on the guitar with echo on the vocals.

i randomly bought a worn out, mold damaged copy of psychedelic lollipop at thrift store last month, cleaned it up and loved everything on it! last night my brand new stereo copy of psychedelic lollipop on vinyl came in the mail. "sometimes i think about" is already one of my all time favorite songs.

i love this video, so up close and down to earth. thanks for posting it!
