A timeless classic. The studio version was recorded at Columbus recorders at The Columbus Tower in SF. The studio was owned by The Kingston Trio. The Kingston Trio's manager, Frank Werber produced We Five. The guitarist with the glasses is (was) John Stewart's (then a member of The Trio) younger brother. He went on to produce many records including Billy Joel's first LP.

No doubt about it "You Were On My Mind" was a super hit for the "We Five" in 1965, even though this was a great song and hit "The We Five" never really charted another big song. However like most of America I fell in love with the song and hearing it 51 years later is an oldies thrill. In 1965 I told my girlfriend of one year that this song reminded me of her because she was always on my mind. We got married in 1969 and will be married 47 years this year, and yes she is still always on my mind. Great song, thanks for posting it!!

Bob Jones ... the guitar player in the back (left). We went to to high school together (St Louis High School, Honolulu). He was one year ahead of me but we rode the public bus to school together everyday. I never thought he'd make it big in music.

Ron Rocker I guess that's a matter of opinion. I knew others in high school and they didn't make to the same prominence Bob did (however, brief it was).

Ron Rocker There was very little money in music in the mid 1960's ; especially for a group perceived as a one hit wonder. I'm sure he has priceless memories of performing with the We Five, but unfortunately it probably didn't pay very well. A lot of it depended on if you had a crooked producer / manager. Almost all of them were crooked in those days. "Just sign here, kid.......I'll make you a star"......

+Ron Rocker Next to the Beatles & the Byrds, probably one of the most recognized Rickenbacker 12 riffs from all of the 60's, I think that qualifies as "making it"

I love the emphasis the drummer puts on the last beats at 02:40. And I like how the band bows to the audience and then to Fred Astaire. Class

That's how most of them did it back then. Polite young people respecting a legend. Those days are, sadly, long gone.

Yes it was the GREAT John Chambers! I played many gigs with this wonderful drummer, sadly he got into a fight and was hit on the head and had a brain anurism and died way too young.

Wow rocking it live! Much faster and high energy but such an amazing, classic record. That thing just JUMPED off the radio back then, nothing quite sounded like it. Feel so lucky to have grown up when I did.

Bev Bivens was 19 when this was filmed in 1965. The Hollywood Palace always insisted on live performances, which this was. Sadly, Bev checked out of the San Francisco musical landscape far too soon. By '67 she was off to become a wife & mother. The guy with glasses (far left) is the late Mike Stewart. His brother was the late John Stewart of Kingston Trio fame. John also was the author of The Monkees' "Daydream Believer." The 60's were an experience not to be missed.

Better to "check out" when you are on top, then go on with your life doing what you really want to do, raising a family.

Love the passion that Mike Stewart (the one in the glasses-RIP) shows on his Gibson electric. He had a semi-famous big brother, John Stewart, that you might remember from The Kingston Trio and 70's hits like "Gold."
