The great Arthur Brown in full magisterial flight. Respect to Tom Jones for inviting him to perform.

[@robjones2408]

A fantastic vocalist who was a huge influence on Alice Cooper, and many heavy-metal vocalists notably Ian Gillian of Deep Purple. Arthur was a great performer as well. The debut album is a stone-cold psychedelic classic. Tom Jones invited some quality performers to his shows

I got introduced to this amazing song in 1995 by the way of a 45rpm single that ended up in my LP collection. I have no idea where I got it, but I saw the name of the group and a date of 1967 and thought it was going to be a typical late 60's pop song. Wrong. This song was proto metal, and that huge voice with the equally huge range absolutely knocked me out. I've been a fan ever since.

[@jasonjadrnak6841]

Fully agree. Can see where black metal even came from.

[@BeInspiredTshirts]

What an amazing performance. One of the best live performances I have EVER seen in my life was The Crazy World of Arthur Brown in 1968. Arthur is amazing. A true one-off.

The wonderful Arthur Brown. Saw him in the early 70's at Ilkeston in Derbyshire, performing his timeless classic, Fire. Great theatrics, great showman and absolutely superb vocalist.

[@groverbaker6404]

The crazy world of Arthur brown lp is absolutely insane and phenomenal!! At the same time..excellent is the word

[@danielcunningham1144]

One of my favorite musicians. I was introduced to this song in 1988 at night on MTV back when it was still watchable. Closet classics I became a fan of sixties music and Arthur Brown from then on.

[@davidadelman6233]

I remember watching this live when it aired at 7 1/2 yrs old. I was absolutely blown away by the theatrics and creativity.

The Crazy world of Arthur Brown!

[@erickjason9092]

I finally found a live version so I could see young Carl Palmer. I was just watching his video and he discussed playing in this band when he was around 17 or 18

[@tapeduk]

No one can dance or move about quite like Arthur Brown

[@j.dragon651]

Tom Jones and Arthur Browns voices are very similar. I was in the kitchen one time and the credits for "Mars Attacks" was on the TV in the living room with Tom Jones singing "Its Not Unusual". I started thinking, what the hell is Arthur Brown doing singing that song lol. Then I started comparing them. I have played professionally for over 50 years and I don't think I am imagining it.

[@coryman125]

I thought the same! Someone at work put on Tom Jones for a bit, and the whole time I was just going "man... he REALLY sounds like Arthur Brown sometimes!"

[@johnvandommelen6998]

Pure rock art pushing the boundaries.....imagine all this on LSD back then?......oh my......look out !....glad I arrived a little late for this. I would be a casualty just like Crane.....100% for sure.

[@annies8075]

Saw Arthur live in the early 70s in Leicester.............the best concert that I ever been too 👍

Palmer pulled off this song well, especially considering that he had some big shoes to fill (the original drummer didn’t tour in the US). Good for him, this would’ve made Drachen proud.

[@Kris.G]

Finally someone who can appreciate Drachen's drumming. A lot of bad stuff is said about him but I find his skills amazing. All of his stuff on CWOAB is magnificent and fits the overall band's vibe really well. Even when listening to Strangelands you know he wasn't just any average drummer.
