The Ethnogs "Train to Purgatory"

This is a pirated video of The Ethnogs 2007 Reunion Tour performance of their most popular hit, "Train to Purgatory." This is the original version of the song (that later became known as "The A-Train to Purgatory") as it appeared on their 1967 album "The Ethnogs."

In 1969 they released "The B-Train to Purgatory" on their "Oral Traditions" album. Arguably "B-Train" is the band's most recognizable hit. This version emerged from the band's propensity to change the lyrics of their original version during live performances in 1968. Some of their most ardent fans became so enamored with the word changes that whenever The Ethnogs would try to sing the original version in a concert, they would shout out the B-Train lyrics. This prompted another set of fans who loved the haunting words and melody of the original version to sing out the lyrics first recorded on the 1967 album. At some concerts the band would play both versions in an attempt to appease both factions of their fan base.
