The Temptations: I Can't Get Next To You (Psychedelic Soul!): Reaction

[@Mark-F-Hopper]

The boys are back in town! The town has been wanting!

[@TheThamesmen]

We are flattered. Thank you

[@brianparsa7794]

Yes!!!! I was slowly descending into a pit of despair . . . I was worried that you guys might not return before, say, mid-September, or worse. The Temptations had a bunch of classic hits, but even more, some of their songs (and the awesome grooves) might have helped inspire hip/hop and rap -- "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" is a good example. Welcome back, gents!

[@TheThamesmen]

Thank you. Glad we could head off the despair!

[@JudeAussie]

OMG you’re back. Welcome back, guys. You’ve been missed. ❤️🇦🇺

[@TheThamesmen]

Thank you. Flattered that people missed us

[@Donna_C503]

Welcome back guys! Missed you!

[@mikeschenk4730]

Love this song and always have. Can't believe I missed this one when it came out....

[@TheThamesmen]

Glad you found it now!

[@donfinch862]

We were just saying 3 months ago, "wonder what the boys r doing", and here you are! (3 months later)

[@andreadee1567]

You promised to do a break and you didn’t disappoint: WHAT a break it was. I’m glad, you are finally back with that funky gem.

[@TheThamesmen]

We are glad to have rested. We will take it easy for a while.

[@Cubesy73]

Welcome back lads. I think you would appreciate Aussie legends Roy & HG calling some olympic sports from Sydney 2000.

[@soozarty]

Welcome back, guys! Great choice of music and 100% agree about Summer of Soul-incredible film!

[@TheThamesmen]

Everyone should see that film

[@Which_Way]

Welcome back good gentlemen. Time to let Jimmy Barnes - “A change is gonna come” live of course, out of the box. Thank me later.

[@TheThamesmen]

Thank you and thank you for recommendation. We may have something else Barnesy related coming up

[@BrianR.]

Welcome back, hope you had a productive couple of months! Really happy to see things start up again! Temptations were huge in the day and my older brtother used to buy all the albums, so I heard it like that.

[@TheThamesmen]

Hi Brian. Thanks for the welcome back. Happy to be back online

[@elkevera]

I missed your banter 😉 Glad you are back ☮

[@TheThamesmen]

Honestly we missed hanging out. Just need to find right balance

[@sammy_dog]

Glad to see you guys back after your break

[@TheThamesmen]

Thankyou

[@scifimonkey3]

Cannot believe it ! The rumours of your deaths were obviously exaggerated.Thank god for that! Looking forward to maybe some Thamesmen Olympic challenges of the quality of the pickle off from series one. Anywho, welcome back, YT is worth watching again.

[@TheThamesmen]

You are too kind! We are back and reincarnated as two horses arses so nothing new there.

[@VirginiaRead-b5b]

Welcome back❤ Didn’t know if you were returning! So glad you are doing your stuff again Look forward to what’s coming

[@TheThamesmen]

Thank you!! We will be coming at a slower rate to ease in but we do love doing this

[@GAIS414]

Olympic X, I had the same exact idea about 30 years ago, I called it the Dopelympics. No women's or men's classes. Just everyone against everyone and unlimited drugs. Imagine the post match/game interviews with the Dopelympians. I'd watch the hell out of that.

[@Twitfilteron]

Loved this. And the Commodores. And now I want to dust off my old 5th Dimension and Stevie Wonder LPs. Loved the soul era.

[@timbarton5075]

Missed you guys heaps, welcome back. PS the almost original Saints are going to tour in Oz later in the year

[@TheThamesmen]

Thank you. That would be a tour worth seeing

[@Mikey-DiLo]

Would really love to hear more Queen live reactions. Now I’m Here live at Wembley 1986. All band members firing on all cylinders. Dragon Attack, Another One Bites the Dust and Save Me at Montreal 1981. A little info about the Montreal show. The band had just come off a tour and found out their manager had agreed to a 2 night concert to be filmed in Montreal. The filming technique was to rival IMAX and was going to be shown on large screens set up outside called mobile vision. The band was not happy but had to do it. The night of the first show they found out they would need to wear the same clothes both nights so that performances could be intermingled and look cohesive. Freddie did not like to be told what to wear. They also found out that the film crew and security told the fans to stay in their seats and not sing so as to not interrupt the filming. The band was livid. They kicked their manager out of their dressing room. They came out all jazzed up and played everything a little faster. The 2nd night Freddie performed with as little clothes on as possible. If you watch Another One Bites the Dust you will see what I mean. The whole mobile vision thing was a failure and post production of the video was awful. Queen finally bought the rights and pieced it together (some film was lost to the initial cutting room floor) and came out with the concert on dvd earlier this year. Fantastic quality for 1981.

well i am glad you blokes are ok, i had a tinge of worry that something had happened to you.

[@TheThamesmen]

Life happened! Nice to know people cared. Thank you

[@jennifermason9557]

Loved this! I wasn't familiar with this track. It has to be said, the Tempations made satin salmon pink shirts look fine. Great song. Glad to have you back!

[@TheThamesmen]

So good!

Welcome back 😊

Welcome back. Jess Roden did an awesome cover of this song. Definitely worth a listen.

Great to have you both back.The Temptations ( triggers broom ) a great start. Got Spec savers tomorrow and if i can get those frames to fit under my crash helmet then that's what i'm after. Do we still have Australia onboard?

[@TheThamesmen]

When you have frames like that who needs a lid!

[@sean---the-other-one]

Woah! Welcome back!! Chris and I caught up just the other week to see a couple of old bands that are making the rounds again. Glad to see you guys have had a bit of time to make some more content!

[@TheThamesmen]

And welcome back to the comments section to you!

[@chriso6719]

You're back?!?! Thought your suspension was supposed to be MUCH longer?!?! 🤣🤣🤣. Kidding.😁 Seriously though, Welcome Back. Song is from '69?, me too, lol Lots of great music out this year. Just a few examples: New Nightwish: "Perfume of the Timeless" is out, "The Day Of..." drops Thursday. New Jinjer "Someone's Daughter" The Warning's 4th album, Keep Me Fed, is out. You've only heard "More' from those 12 songs. Wednesday, "Show Them" drops, Band Maid/ The Warning collab.

[@TheThamesmen]

Wow lot to catch up on! Thanks for the updates

[@sean---the-other-one]

Nice track. Echoes of Aretha Franklin’s Rock Steady, but I don’t know which came first.

OK, that was a cool track, but I probably wouldn't seek it out. More importantly, YOU'RE BACK! Please don't leave us so long again, you don't understand some of the detritus I've been reduced to watching 😂✌❤

[@TheThamesmen]

Oops sorry!

[@barbararees604]

You're back! Yaaay! Good to see you guys, I've missed you. 😘💖 I'm not watching the Olympics either and I don't wanna talk about it, except that the politics pisses me off. Anyway, great start, I love the temptations, specially psychadelic soul. 💓 My most favourite of theirs is ball of confusion.

Ooh. That is a great track. Good call. Hello again!

Welcome back guys, you buggers tricked me, I was expecting this to drop on the sixth, but it uploaded on the fifth. What would make me say that? I was on your Patreon two days ago and this weird little clip of your opening screen popped up for about 2 seconds and it was dated 6/8, so I figured you had uploaded a show to drop on that date. However, I was wrong, it dropped on the fifth. Anyway, you are here now so truly, welcome back. That video was fantastic. I have never seen it before, but that's not surprising as what I know about the Temptations (and Motown in general) could be carved on the head of a pin with a jackhammer. I have to admit that Motown is not my favourite genre of music. However, this was very good. I look forward to seeing you guys ease your way back in.

[@TheThamesmen]

Hi Len. Great to hear your voice. We have missed this community and comments. We will not be posting as often so we can maintain our energies (and the rest of life generally!). You might have seen something pop up as I (George) was having trouble with our recording software and nearly streamed our recoding session live!
