Well said. "YELLOW BALOON" comes to mind---just one of many. Young musicians would do well in studying this pocket of time from 1965 thru 1967 when (not to diminish the Beatles) music was a happening. To me, some of the best never got radio time or were on the flip side of the 45 or on the album. Example---The group YELLOW BALOON---"How Can I Be Down" Good song. Never heard it before until I got Bluetooth recently.

We had the Blues Magoos booked and contracted to play our Junior Senior Prom in a small South Alabama town for M ay of 1968. Our local rock band had discovered them through word of mouth and bootleg tapes. They were like nothing we had ever heard and we tried to emulate them every way we could. Alas, their gig at our prom was pre-empted by the performance you just heard. They were booked onto "The Bell Telephone Hour" as a rising example of a new trend in Rock, Psychedelic Music. They did the right thing and bought the Prom contract back from us. We managed to get another really great regional group out of Pensacola, Florida named the Phaetons. They were fantastic, too, but our band still kept p[laying the Blues Magoos songs until we broke up and went to college.

I was born in '62 and grew up with this music. It was all on the radio every day. Turn it on and *boom* pure magic. There was never a bad song on the radio back then. I was enraptured by these tunes (still am!) and knew innately that it was special, and that I was fortunate to be listening. Probably an era never to be duplicated.

[@Sam-go3mb]

@@steviesugarman7416 People have been trying to work out ever since what made the 70's and late 60's, give or take, such a golden era for music. Was it that the technology around the music was simple enough that it didn't overly distract musicians (including worrying about social media) and they could focus on getting good? Were the standards just higher? Was there something in the spirit of that generation that made for such amazing music? Maybe a mix of all of these, who can really say.

[@DanielRiera]

​@@Sam-go3mb There was no hiding behind technology so you had to be able to really play and sing. Most bands played every night in clubs and got super tight.

[@steviesugarman7416]

@@Sam-go3mb I think it's everything you mentioned, and then some. Certainly the 60's were culturally & politically charged, much of which was expressed in the music. Less distractions, less technology, musicians could focus on music and lyrics and not incessant social media. And the standards were definitely higher...way higher! Allow me to throw something else in the mix. There's no way to prove this, but I'm gonna conjecture that some of the creativity of the 60's/70's was amplified by psychedelic substances. Starting in the mid-60's (with the Beatles as well as other bands) there was an explosion of energy and creativity, exploring different sounds, different cadences, new types of arrangements. Pop music got really deep really fast! The Beatles went from "she loves you yeah yeah yeah" to "turn off your mind, relax and float downstream" seemingly overnight. Well, it wasn't overnight, but you know what I mean. I'm not saying this to diminish anyone's work, it's actually just the opposite. These substances, when taken in moderation and with a mind free to explore, can lead to monumental levels of creativity. Fear dissipates, freedom to express comes to the fore. Combine this with the cultural and political milieu and you get one heady brew. Magic.

Much is because today everyone's just trying to get rich; it's no longer about the music. Plus, in order to get your music out there, you have to create a video, which takes months and costs a fortune. So while back in the 60's a band could cut a record and have it in the dj's hands the next day, today it takes 6 months. So you have fewer, and lower quality music. Some songs are virtually unlistenable without the sexy video, I give you Britney Spears 'Oh baby baby' as a perfect example.

[@frankaguilera2071]

Mr. kellyjdrummer Hope you're still there! Just skipping through KZbin early this Monday morning and using the music to reach far back. The Music Machine, the Seeds, Jorge and Carlos Santana then stopped off here: Born in Chicago in 54, and when you mentioned “Schwinn!” Holy bottled water!! Man, did your words bring me back to those youthful days. My first Schwinn was a candy apple red with plenty of reflectors. All the fellas extended the front fork, handlebars with a bigger saddle. And we would cruise the streets when all the parked cars were made in America. I’m not sure, but one of my friends had a Zenith radio (?), rock’n’roll, Motown and some Latin spice? He had it hanging between the front handlebars. Went to the playground school yard one day and someone ripped it off! If I wanted another bike, I had to buy it with my own mula! On my way to school one morning and the first time I heard “Green-Eyed Lady.” I mean really heard it and felt it inside the heart and lungs then tattooed in the gut. That rock and roll machinery floating on tracers, yet one foot still on the ground. What a fantastic time to get in front of numerous doors then absorb the experience behind the doors.

I listened to this as a child...and now it's still great to listen to...very cool sounding Precision bass! What a sound!

[@baliman555]

What a GREAT time it was !!!!!!!!

[@winterdog6973]

I really miss the 60's good times

[@dgrichmondbc]

Baby Boomers in full bloom. The best era of music ever and will never be equalled.

[@strattuner]

never be equaled,or duplicated

[@casaraku1]

every era thinks that they had the best music because it is with what they (you) grew up with.

[@charlesroberts3650]

WE ROCKED THE WORLD, still doing it.

[@dlsofsetx]

How true!the 1960's were music's Golden Age.Never before or since was there such diversity on the Pop Charts.

[@Jody525252]

Freakin fantastic!!!

[@asthecrowflies737]

A bunch of guys from my old home town, Bronx NY. I was in High School when this song was released.

[@calfan4life]

I cannot rate this song highly enough. If you check the dictionary for 60's music, this is the very definition.

[@DocOfRock-p4j]

i was a 13 year old learning bass player and we had just started our jr. high rock band when this song hit in '66 along with 'talk talk' by the music machine. the first 2 songs our new band learned. needless to say the girls loved it when we played them at our school dance. oh man where have those great times gone ? 58 years ago ! damn i want to go back - just for a couple of days.

I know the lead guitarist, Michael Esposito, (on the left in the video) personally. He has quite a back story. Quit the music biz one day, drove his Cadillac up to Woodstock, N.Y. and parked the Caddy in the parking lot of the only little strip mall of stores in town, left the keys in it, and dropped out of the scene. He did play music sporadically in past 15 years in the area, mostly as a bassist. He also was the cartoonist for the local "Woodstock Times", under the name Swami Salami. His main gig is running the Old Spokes Home, his bike repair shop. A gentle and wonderful soul.

[@upstateguitar]

Tiger62ish Holy Cow, I would bring my bike there for repairs just to meet that guy, I was a toddler when this came out but it's one or my earliest musical memories. I work pretty close to Woodstock.

[@SpeegBJ]

Loved these guys...and this tune. Thanks for the story. Esposito really good guitar on this. He dropped out and did cartooning, this rings a bell with my husband and I did, dropped out, communes, cartooning...If you see Michael in his bike shop, tell him a fan who played this tune constantly on the Fullerton JC radio station, where I was a high school DJ, thanks him very much.

[@leescharpf8101]

Thanks to Michael Esposito and the band! Great lyrics.

[@RitaMarieWeiss]

Glad to know he's still alive .. :)

As a teen in the sixties the rock & Roll brand of Music came to life and Changed music forever. So much talent exploding into the ears of the world. Noting has Come close nor lasted in the bigger picture of things. Most of these musicians were children who survived WW2 and living through the Korea and Vietnam conflicts provided the need to raise their voices in a way to get the message out that Change is Coming....

[@JohnSmith-oj6ir]

'67, I think, went to a show in Dallas just before I was drafted. Blues Magoos opened for The Who and Herman's Hermits. They'd adopted a uniform that had flexible lights on them, when they went into the lead part of this song the auditorium lights went out and they went crazy. Great effects, great show.

[@cf2796]

Ohhhh getting chills. Feel like I'm 13 again.... trippy.

[@garymigliacci2568]

Love, Love, Love....Thank you for your awesome music and great memories in my life....🥰

[@jeffreygrossi2800]

I blast the volume up playing this record over and over….

[@Robert-h3b4x]

A song that fit the times like a glove. They had just this one!

[@joelewing4498]

I'm a 70-yr year YOUNG Boomer in '24, which means I was 12 or 13 when this tune hit the USA airways. I knew the first time I heard it that it might just be THE BADDEST Garage-rock tune ever concocted. This tune damn sure holds up 60 yrs. later. Agreed all? God Bless us all too AND God Bless America. jbeinarizona

[@pgh1all1]

Creativity,uniqueness,total musical talent that put u into the music so deep that many decades later when that song is played on the radio or out of your collection,you are transported with not only memories but an actual feeling of being back there in the magical era of the psychedelic 60s. Unfortunately,an era never to be repeated again. But we can explore all the rare unheard of non-commercial music that was fantastic but sadly overlooked by corporate stations because it did not meet their criteria or was too crazy or far out there. Damn were they wrong and short sold so many fantastic acts all in the name of a fast buck,just greed and closed minds. Technology is not my favorite thing but it does open doors to new generations to experience the best music ever created via youtube and other platforms. Long live old school rock!! Long live the psychedelic sounds of the 60s!!

[@LarsDcCase]

Great classic rock and roll.

When you are 4 years old, A year is a quarter of your life .... When you're 64 a year is 1/64 of your life - A mear fraction to compare to the past years, thus the more years pass, the faster they go in your mind. Mic drop....

Bull poopie! Quit thinking about it. Take one day at a time and absorb each day. Maybe time might slow down for you a bit. Time is time no matter what age you are and I know time waits for no one but chill brother. Breathe deep, blow out slow. Hell, you may live to be 100... or more 😎✌

I love this song.
