RARE EARTH - get ready (Complete Length - HQ Audio)

[@knightd12]

In the military barracks in Germany, around 1971, high as a kite on hashish. This song playing on a thousand dollar stereo setup, bass turned up, the band crawls inside your head and makes itself at home. You are one with the music. 5 or 6 guys in the room , no one saying a word, all just knodding our heads to the beat. Thousands of miles away from home, but we are at peace with the world.

Another wonderful example of the overwhelming musical talent of the 60's and 70's. This band and it's music was overshadowed by other bands marketing machines. But real music NEVER dies and this is an example of talented musicians / writers making REAL music that's timeless. That's why we're all still enjoying this music in 2023, because it's timeless and REAL!

[@originalandrewmark]

This song crafted when whites emulated sounds and rhythms unfamiliar to them outwardly. But inwardly they resonated to these 'new chops' and mellowed out and cut loose. We were taught this by the GODS, themselves. Try to call one of them goofy-assed Sambo now, and fear the asswhipping!

[@andreasdejong1846]

They still make music like this, but mainstream radio stations rather play music which the masses can consume and don't trigger responses of inspiration or admiration. Just like modern art and architecture slowly replacing true masterpieces. We are approaching the state of the world sketched by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World and people longing for true artistry are slowly but certainly becoming the feared minority.

I was 11 almost 12 when I first heard Rare Earth back in 1970. Pete and the men of this band blew me away. Pete the great drummer he is, could also belt out a tune. Especially on this song. Now that's talent to play drums and also sing. John Parrish (Persh) killed it on the bass. His solo knocked my boots off. It's a shame he was an underrated bass player. Every one got a turn to solo on this song to show their skills and talent. Great job. My favorite song ever in my life time and I'm now 65.

[@BumpinBootsy]

Ray Monette on guitar, his solo was kick ass. Gill Bridges on saxophone was "bitchin". He made the tambourine sound cool. And Mark Olssen on organ phenomenal. A fantastic band all the way around.

Two hits of window pane (those who know know), less than half a football field away with a path to get to the stage. It was a crazy time and being reminded of them through the music on KZbin that randomly pop up that I haven't heard in possibly decades triggering that in my life is amazing.
