From Hullabaloo, The Lovin Spoonful performing: You Didn't Have To Be So Nice. (1965)
Great looking video with a bit of shimmy due to the age of the original tape. Still an excellent look at a huge band in their day...

  • This song evokes feelings of pure joy. I want to put many chained daisies atop my head and frolic about the meadows with my beloved whenever I hear it.

  • On the heels of the Beatles, Stones and Animals. And Motown. And there I was, turning 14 in 1965, living in northeast Detroit. What did I do to deserve such perfection? It simply could not be better, even with all the problems we all share (no Dad here). It's been a great ride. I hope I get another couple decades of it, and music I love like this.

  • John Sebastian was clearly a trendsetter... Even in eyewear. He was sporting the round glasses long before Lennon!

  • It's interesting to see John Sebastian playing a Les Paul. They weren't really popular until Jimmy Page started playing them.

  • Introduced by Peter Noone ( Of Herman's Hermits ) shows how things have changed. At that time there seemed to be a mutual respect and adoration of one-another's talents without all the egotistical self-seeking B.S. we see in today's world.

  • So nice!

  • @DaJayManable :D 3

  • @crazysingingchick Me too! I want to frolic about the meadows with your beloved as well!

  • whoa... the bassist looks like he's pushing seven feet tall.

  • John Lennon singing the song, Ringo playing the drums in the back, Paul McCartney playing his guitar the wrong way, and George Harrison jamming next to him and helping with the chorus. What a great band!

  • John still lives in Woodstock, NY. Always will love the Lovin' Spoonful and John Sebastian. Timesless music...and I am so fortunate to have lived through this era in music!

  • CAN'T HELP BUT FUCKIN SMILE AT JOHNNY AND THE BOY'S TIMELESS TUNES!
