The Sonics perform "He's Waiting" - Friday November 2, 2007. This was the first song they performed, on the first night. It was pretty amazing, as the curtains are pulled back and the first chord is struck. Gives me chills.
Sorry about the shaky camera work; the place was packed and nobody was standing still...
Gives me the Chills!
I see "The Wizard"

re; the inane comment by "koalacatcher"...It's amazing how many aloof elitist snobs are out there, apparently too cool for The Sonics. They are not over-rated; they deserve every bit of praise they've gotten through the years. OF COURSE there were other great garage bands from that time. There ARE people out there who know about them. Get a clue!

My fave, one of their best, (Check them out absolutely shredding Tallahassie Lassie!), the Sonics, however were not the best band in Tacoma, Seattle, the state of Washington, or the entire Pacific NW. No, that title belongs to the Wailers. (Don't even think Bob Marley) These Wailers were without a doubt the kings of NW hard rock. Give a listen to Out Of Our Tree and judge for yourself.

I love the
Sonics.
I love the Sonics.I think part of their mystique comes from their songs' subject matter.Psycho,witches strychnine, and Satan in this song isn't exactly Frankie Avalon or Paul Anka subject matter.LOL

amazing to me how overrated this band is, not saying they're terrible but it amazes me why it seems like they're the only "garage" band from the 60s anyone ever cares about.

Glad to see that they are still alive and kicking...I love the bands from the Pac NW, including the Liverpool Five who emigrated there......check them out on You Tube along with the Sonics stuff.
