I've just heard the Youngblood's version before this. Apart from the descant in the chorus, the DC5 have murdered the song.

@tigranvartanovitch Dave Clark didn't do "subtle" - and the late period DC5 cover versions verged from the sublime (this, Southern Man) to the ridiculous and/or superfluous. However, this arrangement is pretty inspired IMO and there is room for both versions as they are in very different styles.

Have you got the whole show?

[RetroCool73]

Yeah. If you can recommend a decent programme to convert dvd to youtube I'll reload it with better dynamics

The Youngbloods actually released GET together twice, but it didnt become a big hit until the 2nd time.

Very happy to see such rare DC5 footage.

HEARING THIS SONG (THINK IT WAS THEIR LAST (AS I BELIEVE THEY SPLIT UP NOT LONG AFTER THIS) I IMMEDIATELY THINK OF THE ACTOR PETER DAVISON (DOCTOR WHO, FAME) WHEN THEY FEATURED HIM ON "THIS IS YOUR LIFE" (BACK IN THE 80'S) SHOWED THE SCENE WHERE HE WAS ONE OF THE CROWD SINGING ALONG TO THIS (ON TOP OF THE POPS) THINK DAVE CLARK MADE AN APPEARANCE ON IT. IN THE SHORT TIME THEY WERE TOGETHER THEY PRODUCED ALOT OF GOOD SONGS LIKE THIS ONE.

one song or two and that was it, no creativity

For the life of me I can't remember who the Spanish guy is at the beginning of the video. Anyone know?

@nickswilliamson thanks this alows me to go listern to jeffers airplane and enjoy the music of the 50 60 hippy freedom movement alittle more. poor chet must be kicking himself coz this is one great song from a great period in history and i was born 65 so didnt even hear the stuff till about 84

[nickswilliamson]

@maddogj7, it's a Chet Powers song ("Quicksilver Messanger Service") given to the Kingston Trio (yeah those three squares!--actually Powers evidently sold it to them to get money to pay for his legal defense on drug charges) in the sixties. Jefferson Airplane turned it into a protest song in '66.
