Thursday & Eastern Jam - Country Joe & The Fish

[@alanbradshaw9766]

i love this as much i did all them years ago i'm now 75 .

[@jimdep6542]

Same here. The music being created back then was incredible.magic and exciting.

[@tarangita]

beautiful thanx for sharing, good old days that saved my life when i was young...

[@jimdep6542]

Great pictures. They capture the atmosphere of that incredible era very well.

[@RicardoGarcia-of2mf]

I can still see the colors of the organ music, coming from the speakers

[@badjaycl]

Wow...it's sometime around that time we called 'the summer of love." I met some very fine people and we played this album all the time, and we loved its peace and we loved Joe's message. It was insulation from the world...we knew that, and once we got sucked into the world we would have to say goodbye to this type of music but at least we wouldn't forget.

😢❤❤❤❤

[@maxmulsanne7054]

I wish I was "Alive" back then instead of being a toddler. I loved that era,... Monterey Pop... Dan Gurney... Jim Clark... The Monkeys... and time on a California beach without it be over-consumed with people & the pollution they bring... May God forgive us for this mess....

[@kerrycharlesmasterson7754]

For me this is how music is suppose to make us feel. Now, '16 and '69.

[@alanroche5235]

Far out! I dropped a tab of acid and Eastern Jam was like red hot spears piercing my body!

[@clarkewi]

Me too in early '68. That organ and the drumming mesmerized me. Especially the cymbal accents - they were like bullets. So electric and resonating..

[@lopezb]

I remember this.....

[@radiomorningwonder6991]

This is tremendous - your slideshow does the music full justice, capturing a time perfectly. I was 13 when this came out. I loved it then, and I love it now...Thank you.

[@blindingrecords9737]

I bought this album back then. I was a Mod. Could not spill the beans to my mates that i was driftin' from Motown to Fixin' like..... .Tex

[@MrTedro]

wow........I am 17 again.........unique timeless sound

[@sammyscotch9945]

Wow. Oooo man I had forgotten about this. 16 yrs old. Skipping school, spending all day smokin hash and listening to this! Wish I had some hash now, Id smoke it and turn this up. Guess Ill just turn this up...gone fishn again

[@lopezb]

Ahhh, those days….

[@consternation6]

John Peel played Eastern jam about a 100 times as his closing music when he was a DJ on a pirate ship... tii right, one of the greatest tunes ever, and perfect after the simply gorgeous Thursday. In fact this, the second Country Joe and the fish album was the quintessential acid album. Simply wonderful.

[@beauyerks7413]

Eastern Jam is a masterpiece...I grew up in the 80s and 90d...my mom actually turned me on to the SF bands...from 2001 to 2005 my band Tilt A Whirl drew heavily from these bands...in fact...we did covers of both Eastern Jam and Creams Born under a bad sign

[@melodee3038]

This has always been a favorite. Listened to it a lot back in the day. Thanks for posting.

[@jg6698]

Former members of Country Joe and the fish are touring the UK in October 2012 , ( David Bennett Cohen the keyboard player and Bruce Barthol the bassist) and they play Eastern Jam ! and other CJ and the F songs that they co wrote or wrote ! just thought id let you know. They are touring as 'The Former Members' .

[@pdondini]

So sweet... Music is love.

[@David-mo5jw]

[@anthonydansullivan]

@Tornfreedom lol, yes, the pic was based on DP Gumby, the guy's name is Rick Wright and the photo was taken in a basement flat at Ladywell, SE London. Would loved to have seen Country Joe at Ryde Pier, only act I've ever seen at that venue was The Motors in '78 when I was was working there for a few weeks at GEC Electric. Glad you like CJ's music, be well.

[@DA53562]

Thank you, have no idea what happened to my copy of this LP. Saw them do this in Chicago at the Electric Theater, nice.

[@denisetomlinson945]

this is great brings back many memories thank you

[@noddyguevara]

The band also includes Guy Douglass from the Steve Miller Band, on lead guitar and Roy Blumenfeld from the Blues Project ( also at Monterey and also on You tube at Monterey) on drums ! like I said October 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rayro999]

that was the 'acid commercial' a separate piece but i agree, it all is one work. to me includes eastern jam and another little bit going into colors

[@gragor11]

La La La La formed the basis of my guitar playing for ever.. this and colours for susan/ I've found you......

[@ragabob8543]

Sully, superb

[@robertveltri8576]

i hope the young are listening to this bird train etc

[@anthonydansullivan]

@xKuntress I do believe you're right. Bugger. ;)

[@Tornfreedom]

The guy at 3:50 is one D.P.Gumby "My Brain Hurts", a creation of Monty Python, if I'm not mistaken.Or my schoolfriend Chris Booth?.These shots are Olde England (UK).I saw C.J.&Fish @ Ryde Town Hall about 8 years back; didn't know what to expect but was completely Blown Away.So much, I bought 2 CD's on the way out and I didn't have a CD Player!.Got one next day and was blown away again. Found their music Bizarre,but eminently listenable and entertaining. And I thought he resembled Jerry Springer

[@d_walsh]

section 2 of "Thursday" -> eastern jam

[@anthonydansullivan]

Thanks for that! I shall be seeking out tickets for sure. That's a name and a half you have there, what are you? A revolutionary puppet figure? ;)

[@anthonydansullivan]

@FreeJigsawEarth Nothing sup wid dat. Nuthin at all. It's just that they're kinda joined at the hip and go nicely together.

[@FreeJigsawEarth]

[@peakbagger6805]
