Come on, React was a fave of mine too!

[@21stCenturyRasselas]

Raton, New Mexico!!!! Driving through and read the Wikipedia on it. These guys (fireballs) started here. Cheers, Raton!!!!

[@7425park]

This was a nitty gritty, dirty rock and roll song!

[@sueb291]

I lived in New Mexico where they lived George went to same Church would play guitar during services loved it there! Stan Lark another original guitar player passed a few years ago.

[@raykrocker994]

Grew up on these guys and the Ventures. Fantastic.

[@davidmack4495]

great song!!! learning it now on guitar for family parties......very catchy tune.... great sing along.

[@davehopping7212]

Not sure, but it looks like original drummer Eric Budd is playing. Hope so, anyway. The first lineup doing mostly instros (with a few Chuck Tharp vocals) were the heroes of my youth, but I was just tickled pink when they hit the charts again with Jimmy later on... In a way The Fireballs were "everyband", going from late Fifties instrumentals, jacket-and-tie, and choreography all the way through full-blown late Sixties psychedelia. George is now the "last man standing", but still maintains the website and plays praise music with his church group. Great job, and a good long run, guys. Y'all have been in MY Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a very long time. Can I get an "AMEN"!

[@AlmostReady504]

Me and the champ used to sing this swinging on my swing set as a kid in the 60s.

[@irafutterman5557]

This song was an afterthought for me, however recently I decided to perform it, just from casual listening it sounded to me like it was recorded by Barry McGuire and the New Christy Minstrels and I was surprised it was Jimmy Gilmore and the Fireballs I do like Sugar Shack.

[@TennesseeHomesteadUSA]

Those guitar harmonies always blew me away.

[@pmccachren]

Nothin better than old rockers still rockin.

[@rudynarciso3554]

Wow! Just travelled back to my late teen years!

[@CanadaAstro]

Absolutely the best. Grime, and threadbare jeans trademarked. What a sound !

[@josephkondrat3062]

This song came out the month my old friend R. Lavine went into the U.S. Army Airborne. It brings back some good memories.

[@Snakefinger1000]

Takes me back to 1968 it's one of the songs on the radio that I learned to play, holy crap it's gotta be almost 60 years ago and it's great to see them still working.

[@damianraffile3355]

A classic that always brings joy

[@niltonborges2842]

Good song! I love The Fireballs! Thanks from Brazil.

[@johnnelson5083]

[@stacyblue1980]

SOUNDS AWESOME! ohhh wish I could have been there!

[@Nick-hv8gj]

How friggin' awesome!!! They sounded great and looked like they were havin' a blast! Extremely cool. This is one of my all-time favorite songs and it made my night (and then some) to see this. Thank you so very, very much!!!!

[@teaeff8898]

Sounds good, nice job boys!

[@martyhowell4043]

I was a 7th grader when this was released. My best friend & I were duly impressed. Does anyone know if the original recording was made at Norman Petty Studios?

[@gmant478]

❤

[@johnmontoya2731]

I've met George Tomsco in Clovis NM but did not sign my card/He's business contact!!

[@petergoldsmith9890]

What happened to the real Fireballs video clip doing Bottle of wine with a deep red back drop.and a wonderful performance ?

[@terrydouglas5008]

Theme song of AA.

[@JamesJBurt]

Man he lost it... the voice is gone... so flat, and so off key. These guitarists are right on point, and they need a new singer.

[@rons7748]

Plus the sound is not the same without the organ keyboards.
