THE ELECTRIC PRUNES - I HAD TO MUCH TO DREAM | REACTION

[@cletushouse906]

HOLY CRAP!! I haven’t heard this in a zillion years. Oh yea, TIME HAS COME TODAY by The Chambers Brothers. The long version.

[@kentclark6420]

Remember 'Illusive Butterfly', by Bob Lind?

[@marcfriedman7339]

But, you knew the works just like you heard it yesterday right?

[@BeeLineEast]

Time Has Come Today By the Chambers Brothers is Psychedelic music also. I forgot to mention that. Album version is the best version.

[@BeeLineEast]

I remember this song well. Psychedelic song of the 60s. Check out the Chambers Brothers Time Has Come Today. This song was played in 7 or 8 movies.

[@j.j.upright4010]

Psychedelic Rock is great listening to whether you're straight or stoned.. It's all about the musicianship! ☮️

[@DavidB-2268]

If you liked this, try The Amboy Dukes - Journey to the Center of the Mind. It was their one big hit.

The tone on that guitar in the beginning!

[@williamosborne6866]

The Who ventured into the psychedelic arena with "I Can See For Miles"

[@hii-rr9uj]

yay i have been waiting for this one. please react to the 13ty floor elevators “you’re gonna miss me” it is another 60s psychedelic band. it is a very gassy song. the one that says 1966 on it. it look like it is live from the thumbnail. the scenery of the video adds a lot to the song and gives you an idea of just how strange but amazing the 69s were

[@elevenbucks5682]

The First Edition... I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.

[@stevenpardon5363]

Electric Prunes, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Banana Wristwatch ...........

[@gwensnyder8313]

This song is on The Easy Rider soundtrack album, as is Time has Come Today. I think that you would have liked Thunderclap Newman Something’s in the Air better. Nights in White Satin is also on it (but the short version). So many great tunes on that album.

[@kentclark6420]

I used to do a lot of drugs in the 70s, and started weed in '68. But I feel like I'm trippin' whenever I hear this song, whether I really am or not. Btw- this song was one of the first psychedelic rock songs to hit the radio. The Beatles were just starting the trend around that time. The Yardbirds joined in, and a few others. The Castaways.

[@CrypticConversions]

This is purely a psychedelic rock song. It describes a dream-like state, one that could be natural or chemically induced, and it does it with the psych rock styling. Listening to it, I *feel* Mary Quant, young Brits in cool clothes, face painting and Volkswagon buses. (I was 6 years old when this came out, but it makes me remember these things.)

[@On_Dust]

Also. To be honest. You can actually listen to a psychedelic song while you are sober. You can understand the experience of an acid trip while listening to a psych song sober. But, you have to drop acid if you really want to enjoy it. By the way. The acid effect last from 3 to 8 hours.

[@beverlyvereb1662]

Incense and Peppermint by the Strawberry Alarm Clock.

[@wendyt7958]

Such a cool song that is a constant on my playlist. I've told you before that you need to listen to Iron Butterfly "The Time Of Our Lives" and "Soul Experience" another great psychedelic 60's band

[@tanilorn]

Mid 60s. The song was written by a lady and it was about alcohol but they turned it into the psychedelic / garage band hall of fame. Just check out the compilation called nuggets.

[@denebranda224]

one of the first acid rock groups

[@imhendriyantonasution2511]

they combined Psychedelic Rock and Garage Rock when later become Acid Rock genre.

[@derwoodbowen5954]

If you really want to check out psychedelic stuff, Country Joe and the Fish are the real deal. Bass Strings is real atmospheric. The Blues Magoos are also a psychedelic band to be checked out.

[@ElusvOptmst1]

I listened to music sober. Music is a natural high for me.

[@Thomas-aka-TomD]

OMG....how in the heck would or could you find this one Chod? Too funny....and yes I remember it. How about "Psychotic Reaction" by Count Five..... or "Dirty Water" by the Standells....if you're on this kick. And it's ok to say this or other music isn't timeless.....cuz this one isn't. You had to reach deep for this.....

[@340rps]

have had them dreams that felt real, and yea right when something good was gonna happen ya wake up. One recently was a bartender I know and when we were about to do it a patron would come up and want a beer. Always the way

[@JG-ty5lt]

I believe this group only had two hits, the other one was "Get Me To The World On Time". I owned both of the 45s and they are still on my I Phone's playlist.

[@burtonmediaprod]

Great 60's track! Reminds me of a cross between Tame Impala and COLD COLD COLD by Cage The Elephant.

[@lordessducky8494]

Yes!

[@moorlock2003]

The lead track on the classic Nuggets comp.

[@bob_garrard]

Brings back some memories.

[@edwardbroyles9738]

I was a teenager in the 60s. The typical thought process was that you needed to be high to really appreciate this style of music. I don't think so. There were people I knew who said that. I'm guessing there were songs that were really out there and you had to be high because if you weren't they sounded like crap. Psychedelic or what ever. Good is good no matter what your mental state is.

[@On_Dust]

Save the world. BE A HIPPY 📿🌹✌️

[@mikecaetano]

Good music sounds good regardless of the psychedelic condition of the listerner, but relaxed music can sooth hyperactivated senses at times. Have you listened to "Box of Rain" by the Grateful Dead yet? That's from 1970. Quite a lot of psychedelic music has a slower tempo than this Electric Prunes classic. "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow" by Strawberry Alarm Clock is a trip. That's from 1967. Donovan "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" holds up very well, flower power pop intact. That's from 1967. "You Showed Me" by The Turtles aspires to glide your ears down a lazy river of harmony. That's from 1968. "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?" by Fairport Convention might bring tears to your eyes. Sandy Denny has one of the purest singing voices you'll ever hear. That's from 1969. "Diana In The Autumn Wind" by The National Gallery is an odd duck that splits in two and then rejoins itself in flight. That's also from 1969. And then there is The Yardbirds "Heart Full Of Soul" from 1965, and The Byrds "Eight Miles High" from 1966, and The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" from 1966, and The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" also from 1966. Chances are greater that you've already heard those songs. To dive deeper still, Fleetwood Mac "The Green Manalishi" gives shape to a bad trip. That's from 1969. Blue Cheer "Peace Of Mind" rocks years ahead of time. That's also from 1969. Fever Tree "San Francisco Girls" brings the harpsichord and simulated sitars back to the stereotype. That's from 1968. Gandalf "Hang On To A Dream" makes the hanging easy. That's from 1968. Vanilla Fudge "You Keep Me Hangin' On" turns Motown around sideways then brings it in for a smooth landing. That's from 1967. Status Quo "Pictures of Matchstick Men" is a goovy little tune from 1968 that Camper van Beethoven scored a hit with in 1989. And for kicks check out The Dukes of Stratosphear "25 O'Clock" from 1985.

[@cheampeake1680]

For a laugh check out "Vox Wah-Wah Pedal commercial, 1967" featuring the Electric Prunes.

[@RinoArt-w8v]

Im so glad and thank God that. I went through the 60"s 70" 80"s90"s2000. Then music DIED ...

[@sherrishultz1493]

The thing about tripping is once you've done it you've done it. That's where the term flashback came from. You don't have a full blown trip but you get aspects of a trip.

and certain songs turn me into pavlov's dog.

I had completely forgotten this song, I guess I was impressed.

My favourite song title of all time

[@beckyneufeld5531]

First group to use wowa

[@Frankincensedjb123]

So I'm guessing electric prunes would actually loosen you up better with that additional jolt.

[@827dusty]

Thanks for this classic oldie but goodie. We used to think he was saying "I had too much to "Drink" last night, but as you know from the title, it's "I had too much to Dream last night." "Time has come today" by The Chambers Bros. is a great old classic 60s psychedelic hit from 1966 or 67 I think. Please react to it. ( Play the long version if you do it, otherwise forget it.)

[@daveman_50]

This was REALLY early psychedelic. It was released in Nov. 1966 and was a hit in Jan/Feb 1967. By comparison, Iron Butterfly’s “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” made the charts in the summer of 1968. For anything earlier in this genre, you might think of parts of the Beatles' Revolver album, and "Rain", or the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things" (Jeff Beck), which were all in 1966. So I give the Electric Prunes a lot of credit. A great song.

[@caravan5557]

The anxious battle for sanity by Antonio Sanchez

[@davidcochran6291]

Can you believe that this was considered too long of hair? This came out while I was in high school and in the 60's we mean't High school. You had to at least done the deed once to have the experience. I B.S. my way though three years of high school, just from hearing other people talk about it and practicing in the mirror to learn to keep my eyes looking like I was falling asleep. I also learned to use soap in the eyes to get them red. However by the end of my junior year I got into it pretty good and what I found out was nobody believed my claims to have been doing drugs those times I faked it. I was so bad that last year I was almost sent home for good because of behavior problems. I managed to graduate with a 1.7 gpa. My family was proud. I was involved with pharmaceuticals heavily for about 3 years then no more until my chronic pain issues forced me to be tied to these things. Well I guess that's enough personal problems. See you on the next great reaction.

Summer in Paradise by the Beach boys

[@johnnysalazar5399]

I HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK LAST NIGHT 😅😎

[@dt1064]

Wholesome looking boys playing this type of music, my my. Lol For a wild druggie kicker (country) song try "Don't Bogart Me" off the Easy Rider sound track.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

ARGENT "HOLD YOUR HEAD UP"...AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC..TRUTH!!

[@timothymunger3186]

Listening to Jimi Hendricks "Are You Experienced" while tripping was a revelation to me. The whole construction of the song was different than what you normally hear. It was like opening a door and discovering what he really, truly sounded like. You could finally answer the question... are you experienced? You got what he was saying. His genius was that the songs were written and could be heard two different ways simultaneously, depending on where you were at. A rare, rare talent. Very few performing psychedelic rock could pull it off. Although not psychedelic rock, you might really enjoy "What About Me" by Quicksilver Messenger Service.

Ya Chod, this was a one hit wonder. It was pretty physadelic for it's time though,

[@bangmon1000]

Sounds like music I heard from watching old movies from the 60's. One of the reason I liked watching movies from that time.

[@paulhansberry8168]

Yes you can listen to psychedelic music sober( although I did...yes!) after all when you love music this much, isn't music itself akin to being in a euphoric state, I.E. all by itself it is a drug. It sure as hell makes me feel good.

[@karlaekquist-lechner2228]

Great song by the Electric Prunes (I'm old enough to remember when it came out!). The first psychedelic song has to be "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys, right? Brian Wilson's vision in "Pet Sounds" made it such a ground breaker in so many ways.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

You should do A-440.

Try Rolling Stones mid 60s like this band experiment with Psychedelic rock the song 2000 light years from home a side of the stones you have ever heard

[@gregseibel3310]

I think for most of us now. It's not that the music is so great straight. But it's the memory the song conjures up. Of a different time

The summer song by Chad and Jeremy

[@doughaviland1729]

Another PSYCODELIC gem!

[@SmilingMedicineEntertainment]

Now these are some good kids. If ya wanna explore more of this sort of thing, from this same era, try Bubble Puppy and their song Hot Smoke and Sasafrass. A little more intense and in your face than The Electric Prunes. Also waiting for you to look into Hot Tuna, who were pioneers playing psychedelic blues.....along with Quicksilver Messenger Service.

[@supasoulproductions]

Love your reactions, Chod. But it's absolutely hilarious to me that anyone who claims to have played 'Psychedelic Rock' could listen to the group 'The Electric Prunes' and then say, "Oh, I didn't realize they were psychedelic". Clearly, you have never 'been experienced'. Well, I Have.

[@BeeLineEast]

Yes Mr. James Hendrix.

Thank you for your reaction, Chod! You should react one day to "You Keep Me Hanging On" by Vanilla Fudge, especially after listening to the version by The Supremes! Peace!

[@andythrush3341]

Wow, that was brutal! I heard the name of the band before but if I ever heard the song, I erased it from my memory. BTW not a good song to trip to either:-] of course, just my opinion. Neither vocals, music, sound affects, or lyrics had a redeaming quality to it. Keep on keeping on Chod.

[@debbiematheson4289]

hey! can you do "mansion on the hill" by neil young???????

[@richardmartin9565]

You had to dig deep for this song.
