Kenny Rogers - Just Dropped In LIVE

[@nicke.3782]

I can't believe so few people in that audience did not know of this song. Great tune. It brings me back to the best days of my life.

[@dannythompson1948]

The day you saw the big Lebowski? Lol KR was a country singer, when he was with first edition, he was a young, hungry singer who was just trying to make it. It blew my mind that just dropped it was sang by the same guy who sang the gambler.

[@nicke.3782]

@@dannythompson1948 I never saw the Big Lebowski. I was 14 when the song came out in 1967... the summer of love.

[@rickss69]

Well, to be fair the concert was in Switzerland...

[@erwmlw]

I was 18 and walked into this bar in West Virginia and this song was on the juke box i'm like who in the hell is this, I like this song and Kenny was my favorite forever thanks Kenny for all the music!

[@georgefaulk2528]

I think I was in that bar,,,!!!!

[@JulianBashir-8472]

I gained a lot of respect for Kenny after discovering this band. I thought he was just a vocalist that sang other people songs. But then I saw him playing bass and singing at same time and learned he wrote these a lot of his song timeless songs. He was a musical legend with a golden voice.

[@hsngdragon]

I love that he doesn't totally shun his early career like so many artists

[@TheySuckFatLongDonkeyLogs]

Kenny Rogers really wanted to be a rock and roll singer, but had limited success, dipped his toe into country and had a hit with the Gambler, and you can't say he didn't look back as evidenced by some encounters at some concerts where he would try to introduce the audience to his former music [even recently], and most responded with silence and bewilderment. I am not sure what he expected of country western fans, but at least he still seems fond of his former work. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4avgHZjYtaIhas

[@beekapoo252]

This song is a psychedelic masterpiece.

[@RichM3000]

@@TheySuckFatLongDonkeyLogs I saw him at a small show right before he retired. He performed this song and didn't care if anyone liked it or not. Much respect. 👍

One of the most psychedelic songs ever thank you Kenny

[@rawtooth4704]

good for you Kenny one of a kind for great music will be missed by many

[@johnsonriviera9834]

I can't believe Kenny sang this. This is very dude

[@32cant]

It's like Paul McCartney asking how many of you remember a group called The Beatles? (Just dropped in was my favorite song by him, and he still sounds good!)

[@dk2853]

+32cant Not really, most people don't know Kenny was in a psychedelic rock group in the 60's. They know him for the Gambler and his country music career.

[@billwilliams9897]

@@dk2853 You sho right. But now that I know all this...I like him more than ever.

[@AgentPepsi1]

Kenny Rogers looks like he is really enjoying himself singing this song. I had heard the song before, but never realized it was Kenny Rogers singing as I had always associated him strictly with Country Music.

[@NickelPlateDiner]

Eight miles out of Memphis is where Millington Tennessee is and that is where the Navy "A" school is that I was attending when this song was out. 1971 (or so - I think) I became an electronics technician second class before I got out in 1975! This song ALWAYS takes me back there!!!

[@stayelevated4205]

Bruh you're hella lucky to be able to experience that era, especially when he first dropped this song...I'd kill to see what the 70s and 80s was like😍😍😍

[@Slimee44]

Such a shame that he performed such a great classic to a crowd who hardly even knew it. The First Edition is the Kenny Rogers I'll always love

[@hobillyjerry]

The First EditIon was his best band ever!

[@papercrown5063]

I seriously can’t stop listening to this song, it’s my new favourite song OF ALL TIMES! Brilliant words insane rhythm! Rock it!! ✌️❤️👏

[@2023FourRunner]

Saw the First Edition do that live in the 70's. It was Awesome. The older Generation at the Time walked out

[@sherrieowen3945]

Where was this

[@chuckfischer7202]

Well remember this tune after sixty years. Still enjoy it.

[@josephkelley8641]

This was when the World discovered Kenny Rogers - as a rare and unique talent - for me one of the greatest, most unusual songs ever written - takes and took a true auteur. .

[@olih27]

This is epic, great version that seemingly very few people there enjoyed

[@eks110355]

Still a great song after all these years.

[@diannast.germain3633]

Kenny might have sang it but that best song was written by Micky Newbury. I knew Micky and I know his wife Susan. Susan and I raised our kids together (Susan words not mine, we did) and Susie (as Mickey called her is still to this day a very very wonderful friend. I miss Micky a lot and I have some really good memories of him. Lets not forget the song writers out there.

[@maefreeman7061]

Kenny was a legend and people should know how talented he was he pushed the envelope of singer can be and let people see that music is music and you can sing what ever genre you want if he hadn't look at all the music we wouldn't have today and he gave other singers the courage to step out and sing the music they want to.

[@vj498]

That was pretty badass. I don't think I have often used that word in relation to anything having to do with Kenny Rogers.

[@None-mb3jl]

Right on...

[@sonofcharles3296]

Kenny abides man

[@tillsmackie1886]

I remember u Kenny with the 1st Edition and I realize this song too, This is on my cell phone awesome

[@candygeorge8713]

He sounded so good ten years ago. So sad that he died

[@regiirecords8829]

It took me a loong time to connect this amazing song from "The Big Lebowski" with the great Kenny Rodgers.

[@jeannereed3170]

I remember you then. Loved you and this song.

[@Quark1217]

I’m only 53. The Big Lebowski introduced me to the psychedelic Kenny Rogers. I only knew the white suit Kenny Rogers up until then.

[@josephkelley8641]

"I pushed my Soul into a deep, dark hole and then I followed it in."

[@chrisj2431]

One of the best songs that describes precisely the strange feelings that you feel when you trip on hallucinogens. Even if the sensations are weird, if you do hallucinogens right, they can change you for the better permanently. More understanding, more emphatic, more in awe of the nature and the natural beauty around us, more easily to detect bullshit from people who push it. It’s amazing if done right. Thank you for that song Kenny. May God Rest your soul easy, my brother.

[@theodorehall322]

The First Edition was a definite high water mark of the 1960's !

[@joelbrown4086]

Love any version of this song!! God bless America!!

[@mbatchelor]

Was really awesome he kept the song in his set late in his career. One of his best. RIP Kenny...

[@RichM3000]

Yep, He actually kept it in to the very end. I saw him right before he retired and he performed it.

[@fullthrottlejeffry]

Truth spoken... I blew out my mind

[@conway2223]

So how many of the Swiss knew what Kenny was about to perform? 12. Amazing that after an amazing country career, wich no doubt the audience came to hear, he un-corks an even more amazing classic from 1967. Do what you like, or just get paid to do something, but Never forget your roots. Kenny will never dissapoint!

[@monoceros1222]

In '72 I won my hometown 5th grade spelling bee at the local radio station, and the DJ let me take one of his LPs. KENNY ROGERS AND THE FIRST EDITION WAS MY SELECTION. Cool Stuf!!

[@Am-graphix]

Saw this on TV when I was a kid and just loved them. I came across the old version the other day and was wondering what kind of music he would have made had he continued down the rock road.

[@fazbell]

MF nailed it. I was 18 that year. It was amazing to see Kenny's transition to country music.

[@aManOnaJourney]

Hard to believe Kenny (along with the First Edition) had a huge hit with this pop-metal-psychedelic song over 40 years ago - 1968. Great hearing Kenny singing it again. Thanks for sharing

[@jareneteters4741]

A classic from 1967!

[@annbeeker9999]

I have seen everyone from Alice Cooper to Etta James to Ozzy Osbourne to Barry Manilow and Mr. Kenny Rodgers was by far one the the absolute best shows I have ever seen.

SMH sadly that the crowd's minds and ear canals are so narrow as to have no clue about this part of KR's musical background. Glad Kenny was bold enough to expose them to it.

[@shannonharkness7041]

You're right. How can a follower of KR not know about The First Edition? Some great songs out of the group.

[@bitfenix90]

I'd hate to think I'd expect his later shows to do exactly THIS. I can only imagine how he felt toward this song as it was dragged from out of the depths of psychedelia back into this contemporary crowd's show. But this is a great job, KR. Thanks for those decades.

Acid flashback! The best drug influenced song ever, how else could you write such strange lyrics?

[@My2Cents1]

Not surprising that so few people knew about it. After all it's a Country festival. Just Dropped In is psychedelic rock, so maybe the this wasn't his audience. Or... only 12 people had seen The Big Lebowski. LOL

[@donnyrecordsnyc]

If you don't know, for full effect listen to the studio version on yt to hear the song as most know it. They studio made this great tune one of the best psychedelic tunes of '68.

[@tleatherland]

I saw him in concert last night. I was telling my sister that I think he always had a rather rough voice, which I mean as a compliment. Therefore, as he's aged, the change in his voice is negligible. He sounded excellent last night, BTW. He's a true entertainer.

[@Raptorizor]

Had I known that he DOES perform this cut live I would've then made it a point to go see him live when he came and played my town last year, oh well next time I guess.
