Yes, that’s right. After two weeks of bagpipe themed musical extravaganzas, we’re back to real music. Last week, after finally finding the Rare Air video with the jazz bagpipes, I started free associating on youtube, and had a good night. I’ve got a bunch of 60s stuff stockpiled, and this week I’m featuring two. The first is from the Ed Sullivan show, so it’s a real live performance, despite the psychedelic lighting. Vanilla Fudge doing You Keep Me On Hanging On.
By contrast, this next one is anything but live, but how could I resist the great go-go girls? What were we thinking back then? Maybe we really were getting too many kicks. Anyway, here’s Paul Revere and the Raiders, with some conserva-rock, I guess you could say. No one listened to the lyrics anyway. I’m guessing Paul and the Raiders didn’t, in any event. This was the band, by the way, that Dick Clark hoped would supplant the Beatles.
Not great music, but good fun.
