Liar - Three Dog Night (Studio Recording)

From the album "Naturally", which came out in 1970. Three Dog Night was one of the premier bands of the times. 1970 was a pretty turbulent year for the US. There was great music, great cars, fun fashions, but there was also the Vietnam war, civil unrest, and the killings at Kent State U. It was the year we lost Jimi and Janis, too.

What a year that was--your pix brought back lots of memories. Good job!

@zzmystery Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

yeah, I agree with equating.Thought song was about a shunted lover, but your pictures brought in other perspectives after all these years, especially the Kent State picture, when you came to shocked disbelief the establishment is killing our own on our own soil. That event turned my generation against war and politics more than anything else. nice job on a post allowing others to see things in a different light and stirring long dormant wounds.

@speedskiff2 I agree with you that the Kent State killings were the biggest shocker of all. It was so sad. Thanks for your interesting comment. It's always nice to hear from someone who was there and remembers the times.

This song isn't from 1970, but 1971. It came out in the summer of '71.

turbulent times flashed back to me, it was like we all lived it and filed it away

[chucknchar]

My brother had a copy of this album, I wore it out listening to every song over and over! It's been too long to have a listen...

@BerkLeeDrm Funny you should mention the dog chain trick. . .I had not1, but TWO strands of paper-clips strung together on one of my cymbals to try and get the same effect. It was pretty pathetic. . .but better than nothing. If I could play like Floyd Sneed, I would have been beyond happy. . .I loved that man's groove. . . .

@Drewb18c1 No one hates war more than the soldier who has to fight it.

Yet it wasn't blue collar Americans who started the Viet Nam war and it wasn't DC elite's who protested it. Yet it was the semi "educated" college age "love-in generation" who scorned those that returned from country and labeled them as "war mongers". Those words and the protests against those whose only crime was to serve thier country should never have happened. As I said, Nice tune, just don't care for the politics.

[Drewb18c1]

@ryindy It's something that I believe has changed. Everybody I know who was disgusted with Bush's invasion in Afghanistan and Iraq hated those in Washington making the key decisions and certainly not the young men and women fighting the war.

This tune was recorded in a public restroom to get that different sound that they captured.
