Our world would be different if Signs were never there from Women's Lib to the end of racism for the most part (it will never be totally eradicated which is the saddest of it all. We are all human beings)!!
Almost forgot “Absolutely Right “. This “Signs”and “Stranger” played all the time on AM radio when I was a young teen. Still here Tesla’s cover of “Signs” all the time.... July 2023
Jesus Christ they are bunch of old tired fucks,and why would the think anybody would like they anything but SIGNS, idiots, it's amazing how " One Hit Wonders keep on haha whatever horrible song.

Actually was released in 1970 has a B side to Hello Melinda. It was Dallas Smith who knew the song was a hit and made it Side A and released it on Lion Records. In 1971 the song took off in the charts.
Cool thanks... I was in greenroom waiting for them to finish so can pack up.. have pics with Mike Bullard and Carrot Top with band & Myself... to Facebook, Five Man page... I take care of it... you will see the pics.
RIP but "global warming" isn't really a thing. We want to and must protect our planet always but scientists found that the planet is not actually warming. The politicians will use this to raise your taxes though. Be smart Earthlings. 🤗
Shoukd be 2021: thr vaccination card was not drawn up yet last year, just put on table, this year they finalized the amendment making vaccination compulsory if want to get into places.... at least we will be safe!
I am glad you enjoyed the video... did you watch the show in person or on TV. When they were on stage I had to wait in Greenroom, then teardown. You can't see me at beginning when they do that skit, the last person to talk, Steve, I am right behind him I believe he is leaning on my blue coat. Haven't seen it in years. When Carrot Top says how he was with us prior to the show, I had asked if he would take pictures with us... I will always cherish that. I should have added the after show pics of us with Mike Bullard and include Carrot Top!
@@GaryLatendresse on network like abc, cbs, nbc? I thought I knew them all. I'm 56 and seen a lot of late night TV, but somehow he got past me. That's why I figured it was some guy only in a tri state area or something.
I was five years old when I got ino Black Sabbath and of course Ozzy. I always loved music and lived my dream when Five Man Electrical Band asked me to work for them. I find music is the answer to allow you to escape whatever issue is getting you down etc. I know it's mine.
@@ashokbhati2095 we love animals and get so angry when see domestic as well as wild animals being abused. In fact, we have been approved by our Government to have a baby monkey (preferably Macaques) once weaned to be taught to help those with disabilities. One they become a companion with will be together for as long as the Monkey is alive 20+ years. They will be inseparable and able to help get things from higher locations like a can of food high up on a shelf. For the PTSD, besides being able to help physically with reaching etc, will know the signs of anxiety being raised which will be able to calm them down. We are specific on the type but, not from the wild unless, an orphan that will not be able to go back to their troop or the wild.
Actually Vern was with The Staccatos and left the band years before the rest of the band moved to California which is where and when the band changed its name. Sorry but, I had to state the difference because Vern had nothing to do with Five Man Electrical Band.
@@GaryLatendresse I knew he was in the stacattos prior to the name change. What he told me was he left the band shortly after signs was recorded and settled in Vancouver area. He gave me a double cd of mostly unreleased tracks titled stacattos / 5 man electrical band. He sold his house next to me about 3 years ago now and last I heard his health was failing. I used to service his electronic gear for him.
@@12voltvids no, because he was gone before the Staccatos last album Five Man Electrical Band in 1969. 1970 the 5 were in LA Vern was in Canada (double CD you speak of...called First Sparks). Les wrote the song when he was in tour bus up and down the famous highway in the US when he noticed all the signs blocking the beautiful scenery. He probably said he left before that album which would give the band their namesake. I used to work for the band and more or less their historian. I know the way the band was formed from 1969 on. I don't know when Vern left, before 1968 or 67 but, was way before 1970 when Les wrote the song. Vern was not with the band in that tour bus. I don't know how he got those tapes but, doesn't mean anything... could have asked Les for copies all I know when The Staccatos wrote the album Five Man Electrical Band they were the band that we knew from Les Emmerson, Brian Rading, Ted Gerow, Mike Bell and Rick Bell (Belanger real last name). So how can Vern be part of that band when the 5 are the ones who moved to California and the 5 in that tour bus. This history I was told from Les himself.
Wanted to state...that Double CD being First Sparks...I was one who helped them (the label who released that double CD..Vern helped with old material but, that's it) get started. They had to go to many lengths to get the material that were on that CD. I can tell you, the songs on 1st sparks have all been in one form or another released even if just as a promo that people never got to hear. I was lucky enough to get a lot of those singles. They made a mistake though, all songs on the Five Man Electrical Band album is from The Staccatos. Everyone thinks it was the 5Man's self titled LP (I was one of them, Les is the one who told me). I know that the statement he was there when Signs was recorded and left the band thereafter, I can tell you that is wrong. I know 100% he wasn't part of that recording process or anyone prior to The Staccatos last album. I have to check, cause I think he was gone by the time the album A Wild Pair was released in 1967.
Sorry for all the replies..just bothers me when wrong information is given to someone no matter from who if I know the real info...that double CD, if he made it for you, please check the CD First Sparks, The Staccatos/Five Man Electrical Band (it has a blue cover) and let me know after you read the tracks if they are the same or not. I just have a distinct feeling that is what the material you mentioned came from.
I manage this video as well as band's page I did for them which actually started when I was working for them. On the Five Man page at Facebook. com/fivemanelectricalband and go to videos. Les Emerson did a re-write of the song back in 2011 for Friends Of The Earth. Song was revamped to Signs4Change. Please comment under video, send me a private message of course can post as well. Enjoy!!!
ut1004bp no, not any phrase or line was pre-recorded. Audience would have picked up on it if woukd have been done...I remember in the 1980s when musicians got caught miming the words, destroyed their music careers (not mentioning who but, if lived during that generation then you would have heard about it). 5man hace appeared on talk shows since the 1970s and were asked twice on kenny Roger's Rolling On The River and wouodn't have ever conceived the idea of faking any verse or whole song..The fans would have went ballistic, paid to see a band play not pretend....We had no time, we got in, set up and then band played, no time to run any lines..did a quick sound check...
Gary Turner thanks for your post. there is a new rendition to Signs called Signs4Change Les has re-written go to Facebook and after .com/fivemanelectricalband and will find video in that section. this page is what I created after retiring as their employee but, wanted something for the fans and to keep them/you informed. Keep Rockin' and God Speed Gary
+Gabriel Macleod Yes it is Stone Temple Pilots. Playing from the self-titled LP. I don't alter any vinyl or digital music.. the way it is being played is how it was recorded.
