But I'm lucky and you're lucky is really need to hear somebody had a success story and I'm not sure how mine's working lately cuz they sold my house last year at auction and I'm trying to figure out how to save the thing. So I've been listening to music all morning and just grooving on stuff that other people do and trying to figure out you know some angles of how to keep the government from winning and keep my head up and and my freak flag flying and the rest of that stuff you know and a good attitude is is the first part that makes it all work I guess so thank you sir for calling back and or texting back and look forward to talking with you. Hope you have a great day. I'm heading to the big city of Everett and I'm going to go in and try to do a pro bono emotions to suppress the illegal sale of my home. So any feedback or any kind of input you might be able to have would be great. I'm located in Arlington, Washington, Snohomish county and it's been a real trying issue. I had thought I had $62,000 Grant money awarded to me and they wouldn't accept the word letter and went ahead and sold my house last year. Now the person's trying to come and take it this weekend and it's it's heartbreaking. I don't know if I'm going to make it screw it or not in one piece. But I'm praying with a good Lord in heaven and I do and all the rockers out there show that fist in here and shake one for the crew man cuz we're going to need it. Peace out brother. Have a very good day. Talk to you soon

@@austinteutsch The fact that we're chatting it up as the great piece of history it is... nearly 52 years later is the proof of it's life value. In 152 years this will still be out there and valued. Todays produced/packaged/pablum, not so much. I will always cherish the memories of playing this in my first 'working' band in 1973 up in the Midwest. The double live album will show up now that it's been mentioned so let's just enjoy the fact that there are SEVERAL live recordings of them out there to continue to play along with. Reconnecting to all of my old music during the Covid lock-down has been a blessing to my fingers & ears.

Aug 69. When you start seeing the musical notes dance out of the speakers in assorted colors and keeping the beat let me know. i watched the music dance for the entire Beatles White Album. A 1/4 tab lasted for three days.

I met my friend Jeffrey Wyatt who lived in 1520 . In 1972 he would show me how to dance. We would look inside Hercs bedroom where Herc would put on a record. Often Herc would be seen coming from the stairs down to the building. He would play his records in its entirety meaning he would listen to his compilation especially a new album. He often would be seen with two of the same albums. He would play the entire album. We knew what song that had a break dance rhythm. Happy Hip Hop 50 ! Shout out to James Bond a Kool Herc Breakdancer ! Real Talk Boogie Down Bronx ! 1520 Sedgwick Avenue the home of Hip Hop ❤

It is April 2022, and I am 68 years old. This brings back great memories. I heard this one when the album was released, and I was really into the instrumental solos of groups like Rare Earth and Iron Butterfly, to name two. Our FM station would play entire songs as well as albums. Of course, now we can stream anything, anytime!

Right on, Donna. Just turned 67 this month and I used to blast the 45 thru my Fender guitar amp for the neighborhood out my bedroom window! Thanks.

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

I used to own that Iron Butterfly album and my sister owned this Rare Earth album. But a song taking up one side of a 33-1/3 album was something artists did back in the day. I had Don McLean's American Pie album, which I still think is his best stuff. On the B side he had Vincent, The Spirit of Fatima, Empty Chairs and Babylon. I LOVED that album.

This song converted me to rock and roll in the early seventies! The first time I heard this was on the car radio of some guy training me on door to door selling as we were going to our next appointment. My jaw dropped open! Wow! Believe it or not, it was after catching up on all the rock I had been missing in my early life, I found out about the Beatles after...they had broken up. The drum at the end is just fantastic. The audience cheering in the background, just incredible! Glad it's here on KZbin.

My then girlfriend bought tickets for the early 1972 Rare Earth Tour concert at the Charleston Gilliard Auditorium. I didn't expect much because I was used to Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Alice Cooper, The Who, et. al, and Rare Earth was more of a top 40 genre. But I have to say that they gave one of the best concerts ever! I believe Gil Bridges was their saxophonist that played two saxophones simultaneously that night. These Detroit Rockers earned my respect forever!!!

Seriously. I know that it's natural for everyone to love the music that they cut their teeth on and grew up with and think that it's the best ever, no debate. I've been around for a lot of years, and I thought that when I was a lad also, but as great music keeps being made over the years, one has to avoid making the greatest music ever made thinking. Beatles? Greatest ever. Led Zeppelin , greatest ever. David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Queen. Stones. Yes. ELO. Whatever. It's totally subjective. There's plenty of competition for greatest extended version ever, but I am tired of typing. Think about that statement. Short sighted, is all I'm sayin. And as for drums, it's great. What about Moby Dick? I want to say greatest drum performance ever, but fall into my own trap. Thanks for listening.
