Count five - psychotic reaction

[@MrRodahi]

I was 18 when this song became a massive AM radio hit. Going down the highway at 100 mph in my '58 Ford with this song turned way up was beautiful! It is still one of my top five favs.

[@sallyweinreich5769]

All/most music was on AM in the 60's!!! My little RED transistor radio w/ 9 volt batteries I bought w/my baby sitting $! 25 cents an hour!

[@heartlandfarmer2720]

I had a '58 Ford when I was 18. It had a 352 with manual transmission and overdrive and it was a blast on the highway. The radio in that car had vacuum tubes although I believe that instant on transistor radio was optional.

Was it Boom radio you heard it on? That's where I first heard it...I'm 58 and I can't believe such a great band went virtually unnoticed in the UK as I had never heard of them before.

It was a local fm station in upstate South Carolina that plays music from 1954 to 1986.

[@RobertChurch-h3g]

I knew these guys. At least most of them. They were absolutely a bitchin' garage band, That's why they're in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame These guys dealt with the realities of the '60s. Vietnam and drugs (sorry Roy). Johnny Michalski was a successful conscientious objector (thank God) and became a very successful contractor. Roy Chaney was missing a big toe from a childhood bike accident and couldn't be inducted (although I think he would have been a MF, man). He's also a very successful contractor. Sean (John ) Byrne stayed in college (S-2 deferment) and became an accountant for Montgomery Ward. He sang Psychotic Reaction. I never met Ken Ellner or Butch Atkinson. Music is about people who make it big. or don't. I'm a Count Five fan.

[@markrobinson4474]

"Pop Gear," aka, "Go Go Mania," a British made movie is where the original video is from. It is called "Gold Pants Dance." From 1964-65 when all things "Gold," were in vogue because of the success of "Goldfinger."

Remember this one very well ... sounds just a little ‘ Yardbirdish ‘ . A great track from a band I would have liked to hear more from . Peter ‘A’

[@rockradstone]

[@TheThemacgurl]

One Hit Wonder from October 1966 ( #10 )

[@dr.OgataSerizawa]

Released June, 66.

[@mattterranova2654]

Considering the year this song was conceived, written, learned and then recorded (we forget that we sometimes first hear a new song 2 years after it was even conceived and for a garage band with no record label contract demanding 3 new albums a year (requiring 30 songs total to be written, learned, rehearsed all before it's recorded in lightning speed) the idea this sound was born as early as '63 makes you wonder who the real influences were because this song pre-dates Rubber Soul I believe and they were an LA band with only an LA following. Its sounds like a Stones song, but dare I say? Better? All I know is this sound that defines the pre-psychedelic period in rock music almost invents what the heavy bluesy psychedelic sound would become. And I dont think LSD was the influence. Just pure originality by a group that influenced but never saw the fame all of the bands that made their own versions of it, but still used the same beat and even vocals. I mean this guy could have been the lead singer of The Animals an sang Rising Sun just as well. My dad graduated from HS in '66 and was from upstate NY and saw the Stones when they toured the U.S. in '66 and every tour after and he attended Woodstock. When I played this so ng for him 2 years ago he said he'd never heard it before, and was wow'd by it, as if he were 17 hearing it for the first time. His old music instincts from that time hit him.

[@johnlatham3854]

Who choreographed the dancing and all of those moves. How did this group get together (meet)? How much practice before taping? Any future videos planned? Great job ladies. I have watched this many times because it is so good. THANKS
