This is the original version of the song made famous by Hendrix later. This is also the source for Frank Zappa's parody on the song as it appears on the "Only Money" album (Hey punk where r u going with this botton on your shirt" etc).Jim Pons is the bass player of this band, later to join "The Turtles", and later , with Eddie & Flo to the 70' version of the Mothers of Invention.

  • The original and first version of the song made famous by Jimi....noticed the tempo is much faster and it lacks the famous bass line as a result.

  • this sucks compared to arthur lee's

  • hell yeah!!

  • It's ironic that Hendrix actually slowed this song way down, but still managed to make it sound considerably "harder" than what we see here.

  • @otterman445 ---I think that every garage band in Orange County probably played this song around that time; I know bands in the Huntington Beach/Westminster area were. It might have been The Leaves though, I guess they were from Southern California & anything's possible.

  • I'm remembering hearing this song done live in 66' at Western High in Anaheim Ca. Does anyone know if the Leaves could have been the band?

  • The best version for me.

  • I think Hendrix got sick of it after a while- there's the video of him calling it "garbage" as they segue into Sunshine of Your Love.

  • "Hey punk where you goin with that flower in your hand?

    I'm goin up to Frisco to join a psychedelic band.

    Hey punk, where you going with that button on your shirt.

    I'm goin to the love-in to sit and play my bongos in the dirt"

    (The Zappa album's called 'We're only in it for the money' btw)

  • this IS the best version, hands down!

    i was the singer in a band in 66 when i was 13 years old and we did this song......we thought we sounded just like these guys:)
