Young Rascals - I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore (1966)

From one of the all time great groups

[@joelewing4498]

Yeah, I'm a Boomer with a capitol "B" baby.....I remember as a 12 yr. old seeing this as it first was broadcast on TV in '66. First time seeing it since. RIP Dino Danelli.....God Bless you, you were a badass drummer, sir. Man, we Boomers were blessed, weren't we?

[@pjreynoldsa1]

I feel so lucky to be a boomer. we saw so many changes and great bands!

[@vrinda5303]

​@@pjreynoldsa1I was born 15 years after this performance. I grew up listening to '50s and '60s music. It was the best era for music. I only wish we could have it this way today.

[@soarornor]

Dino’s stick twirling was so awesome. Amazing drummer. Everyone in that band were perfect in what they added to the whole. Extraordinary band.

[@dawnenglish2114]

I know ....right? Had some kind of a tight clutch on that twirl with an extra scoop of attitude on top.

[@therussiandragon616]

And he's 22 years old here. All that showmanship and syncopated drumming developed early.

[@dano5238]

Dino was not appreciated enough.

[@ItsSusieQue96]

Most folks dont know this but Dino is the one who taught Keith Moon of The Who how to twirl sticks💕 Dino was SO underrated…

[@soarornor]

@@ItsSusieQue96 How was he underrated? The Rascals were huge and he was one of the reasons.

These dudes were the living end. We were sooooo lucky to come up in the greatest time for popular music, be it rock , soul, or country. Eat your heart out, kids today!

Very Very Beautiful Masterpiece from the Rascals, Hall of Fame music at its very best, Eddie & Felix are both legendary singers

[@brucekielty8180]

Still a very unique and great tune by a legendary band.

[@Scottie_S]

The Divinyls really knew what they were doing when they covered this fantastic song. This was the first version I ever heard. When I heard Chrissie sing it, she added another level of 'sexy' to the song and I fell in love with this song again.

[@petervarley3078]

I only just learned that the Divinyls were covering this song. The original is so lame by comparison - it is a credit to the Divinyls that they found something here that was worth reworking.

+Dale Zaugg you to? I saw the Rascals Chicago CSN. without Young 3 dog night . James Gang in a place called the golden lion in Forest Park Plaza in Dayton oh. it was mafia run in them days. I had my Bros Draft card saying I was 18 I really was 16. Back then in Ohio the drinking age was 18. All the beer you could drink for $3. Those were the good days .

[@bethvirginiaphillips4583]

One of the few groups that actually sound as good in person as on vinyl. The four headed their own top groups in Jersey and NYC before creating this super group. Two, Eddie Brigati and Felix Cavalierre, were in Joey Dee and the Starlighters, as well as Eddie's brother, David, who often sang on the Rascal records. When you think of Joey Dee think the Peppermint Lounge, the bigget rockin' club in the world in the sixties.

What amazes me how many TV performances they did live like this, people think it's lip synced but it isn't

[@wcohan]

What do you look for (or listen for) to figure out when a performance is live or taped?

[@jo-annkawakami3373]

Totally agree. They always took their live performances 2 a higher level. Pure magic!

[@dadduorp]

@@wcohan Generally, in older live performances, the music was canned (the original recorded tracks) but the vocals were live and you can tell by watching/listening if the vocals are different from the original. In this case, they are and you can see them improvise at times (Felix @3:36 with "Oh, no nooo!) as well as Eddie singing slightly off key @3:23 "Choose, is it him or me-e-e-."

[@basilmarasco1975]

@@dadduorp That's the case with the Buckinghams performance of "Don't You Care?" on the Smothers Brothers Show: canned music but "live" vocals. It's posted on YT.

Another cue is to watch the drummer closely. The fills are there or not there. Rarely do drummers play it exactly like the recorded version.
