[jeffkahl]

is this the Canadian band that became Chilliwack?

[beyondthebeat]

Yes -- From Vancouver!!

[gesualdo1550]

They're a forgotten corner of the psychedelic movement, but I've always loved this band. Found their 2 albums ("The Collectors" and "Grass & Wild Strawberries") on CD recently, so they are still available. "Lydia Purple" is the only song on these albums that they didn't write and didn't really want to record. Their producer made them. Their other stuff is even better, believe it or not.

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C-!

[ganyuehan]

Is the song about a woman who went insane?

[Gadmeer]

This is their best hit song. I should know, I am from a golden age.  Stampeders? I can't agree with as its simply not true..

[Chrystallaish]

Such a beautiful song!

This song reminds me of 1968....their other hit, which was the one I liked better, called "Looking at a Baby", hit the Top 40 here in Vancouver in 1967. I knew they were Canadian but I can't remember hearing of them a local band. Guess Who are another Cdn. band from this era. Now the Stampeders who had many hits in the early 70's hailed from Calgary, that I know. I see the Beach Towers on Beach avenue & Grouse Mt. in behind. @1:18 are they at Doggy Beach nearby Kitsilano Park. Thx4 postin'

[jannyrcobs]

Was this shot especially for airplay on the old '60s CBC show Where It's At...?

[fortoate]

so calming...

[pastpanda]

This song puts me in a mood that no other song can. There's just something about it.
