Some say that it's an album that was born of a days-long party in the studio, and I kinda believe it. Still, I hear something new each time I listen to it. I listen to this song every week or so and still find it incredible. I just imagine someone back in 1968 putting this record on and hearing this song for the first time and standing there with their mouth open. 6 1 Quote

RichStadiumGuy Posted March 22 Posted March 22 How about Alvin Lee & Ten Years After? I bought the "A Space In Time" album when it first came out and it got so worn out from playing it so much that in a year's time I had to buy a second one! And that rendition of "I'm Going Home" they did at Woodstock turned a couple hundred thousand burnt out hippies into screaming maniacs pretty freaking quickly. I was there and all I can say is... what a TOTAL rush THAT was in the wee hours of the morning!! And let's not forget Iron Butterfly and that insane drum solo in "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"! Who didn't freak out the first time they heard the long version of that one played on their "stereos" back in 68? Seventeen minute songs played in their entirety on the radio were unheard of before that one came along. I bought my first car shortly after I got my license when I turned 16 back in 1968 and the first thing I did was install a brand new AM/FM radio with a built-in 8 track player in it and a couple of heavy duty speakers. It just had an AM radio with one speaker in the center of the dash when I bought it so the sound system upgrade was a severe necessity being a 16 year old. Yeah... I was without a doubt one of the coolest juniors in high school :) 1 Quote

This one is 1970 so technically it doesn't fit Perfectly in this thread. But the song is PRIMO and It belongs posted imo They were speaking the truth. YEP Quote

SoTier Posted March 23 Posted March 23 My two favorite Dylan tunes ... This was the Beatles first performance in the US. Then there was the "Motown Sound" ... The Supremes ... The Four Tops ... 1 1 Quote

Too much ahead of it's time. Although eventually it did hit. More so than one of the 60's other real innovators - Arthur Lee, who was once described as a southern American black blues singer sounding like a northern English white blues singer trying to sound like a southern American black blues singer...

Greybeard Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) My DaCapo favorite. Arthur Lee had a sound in his head and it took long time for the drummer to get it right. I've posted their Glastonbury version before and it's worth going to Youtube to see. This is the original. From the "Forever Changes" album, one of the best of the unknown albums of the 60's. They were probably 3-5 years too early with their music. Edited March 23 by Greybeard 2 Quote
Ralonzo Posted March 23 Posted March 23 In that one year 1967 there was so much output there was stuff that fell between the cracks that in any other year, might have been revelatory... Quote
