[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

The coolness factor of someone who listens to this goes up 5 times

[@BubbasMeisa]

TY...I always need to cool off.

Thank you.

East Village Fugs ... old favorites since 1966 ... one of my first LP acquisitions back in the day

[@albertguder6605]

i'm so glad this is preserved for eternity,as now all hippy hating mods and punks can see that there was muich more to hippy than the cliche always lets them know.

[@mrhoracemann1]

What's a hippy?

[@brotzmannsax]

Great old film from 1968 in circulation for decades underground. Besides Ed, Ken & Tuli is Ken Pine on guitar, Charles Larkey on bass and Bob Mason on drums, saw them many times including the Fillmore East shows. Kill For Peace!

[@sharoncrossman7188]

Would you mind listing all the bands you saw?

[@brotzmannsax]

@@sharoncrossman7188 I was a regular at the Fillmore East from beginning to end 1968-1971 and saw a hundred shows. If you have any requests, I will tell you if I saw them and how good the performance was.

[@The_Klystron7]

Right! Yeah it's from 1968 not 1966.

[@HugoMasekela]

These guys could really pull this off live. This has got to be from 1968.

[@braziliantexatlantis7485]

Yeah, this is obviously not from 1966, e.g. they're quoting Hendrix they wouldn't have heard yet

[@nedludd7622]

I bought their first two albums back in the day. Yup, I am an old geezer. Nowadays, ignorant youth deride me as a boomer.

[@erikrodenborg7646]

Well, i am from Sweden. I actually saw this very program when it was sent. It was in 1968 not in 1966. And everyone who is checking the songs will realize that my memory is not a false memory.

[@maplebones]

If the guys at Mad Magazine had a garage band...

[@georgemanka]

This is what you come across in the bowling alley of your mind

[@heartyblack]

stunning.

[@chiefmech23]

Just great original music, guitarist is awesome, find something out there today like this, bet you won't, Fugs rule

[@jeromeyankee9443]

Would it be possible to suggest when content is uploaded to let people know what they are listening to? It could make it easier for new fans to discover bands from the 60's and 70's. Anyway, here is the correct information. The date is May 11, 1968, and not 1966 in anyway shape or form. Interview > Foxy Lady (Instrumental Tease) > Crystal Liaison > Interview > I Couldn't Get High. Thank you for sharing on KZbin and keep up the great work.

Outstanding! Thanks for posting this.

R.I.P. ´Go-go Boy ´ Tuli Kupferberg .

[@MSYNGWIE12]

You have excellent taste! I love these guts!

[@Binstone]

I'd bet five yankee dollars that this was actually in 1967 because crystal liasson came out on their "It Crawled Into My Hand, Honest" which came out in 1968, and in the beginning you can clearly heart them cover foxy lady which wasn't released till 1967

[@bryaaker]

So did the Hendrix tune they are playing prior to that tune.

[@cuttingyohair1]

In the stroboscopic Bon Bon of yer brain, I am yer eunik! Me thinks that 45 years later, sadly, that the slack-jawed, shitbag insect larvae that is modern American consciousness, cannot comprehend the poetic brilliance of The Fugs!

[@BubbasMeisa]

WORD!

[@kennethkuk4351]

God willing, the slack-jawed, shitbag insect larvae has dried up and is being swept away...

[@BrickByBrickBooking]

Little know fact: This was the music blaring at the Manson Family house just before the Labianca "incident".

[@davejrgensen7333]

This must be from tour of Sweden and Denmark, May 6-13. 1968.

[@Adibarum]

an excellent Find,,great to watch this ..thank for posting

[@thomasjordan5578]

WoW that’s mighty damned obscene for1966, it’s a miracle they were not tarred and feathered. 😳

[@nedludd7622]

One of many, such as Supergirl and I feel like homemade shit, etc.

[@OldExit]

the guitarist gave the "im tired of this fuckin shit" look at the end of Crystal Liaison

[@rossthomas159]

My grandchildren, this is genius....

[@sonotdown998]

Genius.

[@rahvavaenlane]

sound quality is mind-bogglin..

[@heartyblack]

they make the Velvet Underground sound like , uh, i don't know. all great ....

[@altohippiegabber]

this is from 1968 (not 1966)

[@Adibarum]

I agree that this is 1968 Crystal Liaison is off "It crawled into my hand Honestly" which came out that year

[@finylvinyl66]

@chiefmech23 This is the true alternative music. Since the emergence of Nirvana and Pearl Jam in the early Nineties (and I like both,) the alternative has become the mainstream. Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg (RIP to a great man) were true artists and poets - the media would have nothing to do with them, as they were way too radical and "foul-mouthed" to present to anything resembling the mass public. But to those of us who knew, they were heroes.

[@synthonaplinth5980]

This is more like original punk music than alternative.

[@connorbliss8669]

From the pop side show.

CRYSTAL LIAISON In the great bowling alley of your mind I am your pin boy I am your PIN BOY In the stroboscopic fun bun of your brain I am your eunuch I am your EUNUCH CRYSTAL LIAISON Enchanted forests of tomato juice We ate the dope I saw your ego float away I was alone with you In a great big crowd of me CRYSTAL LIAISON In the great bowling alley of your mind I am your pin boy I am your PIN BOY In the stroboscopic talisman in your pants I am your bun blade I am your BUN BLADE CRYSTAL LIAISON

I'd like to stop here at midsong and make some terse replies to questions yet to be axed....if I may...

[@paulfenton4517]

Very cool.. They couldn't have done it on north American tv..!!

[@fdrose]

Did any of these guys live past 30?

[@PedroxCarvalho]

This is actually 1968, not 66.

[@The_Klystron7]

Think this is actually 1968. History. Talking about lesbian dwarfs waaaaayyy yyyy before it was o.k. to.

[@whitedwarf13]

'68 not '66

[@georgemetesky5519]

Who is the guitarist?

[@mistery-ed7900]

Ken Pine

[@gothfather8741]

Disgusting commentary by Sanders at the start of the video, even if it's meant as a joke... It's amusing to see Tuli someone born in 1923 headbanging.

[@mebeasensei]

Kind of lame....I was thinking it was 1966. And instead, it is stoners in 68 playing Purple Haze...cool fellas and all...

[@chunga372]

this sounds nothing like purple haze lmao and theyve been around since 65.

[@pacu9]

This song is called Foxy Lady, by Jimi Hendrix, a popular singer and guitar player from the 1960’s. You’re welcome.

[@lastnamefirst4035]

@@pacu9 no besides this was long before foxy lady by hendrix

[@kerpin09]

@@lastnamefirst4035 It is defiantly the riff from Foxy Lady and this is a year after Hendrix's release
