A 1974 Rare Earth performance of, “Hey, Big Brother” put to their top-ten hit, and my favorite by them, “Get Ready.” Edited clips dubbed with a remix of the track from their album, “Get Ready” (1969).
This group was great and inspired me to play drums, since hearing this cut back in 1969, I've been playing drums self taught since then with many different groups as back up. I have the original cut on vinyl and the drummers twenty minute solo, it's totally fantastic and I still love this song and group till this day. No one can top this cut!!!!!!
Fantastic to hear! I love the drums too! When my son was a teen he had a garage band & played drums~sang. My older~youngest brother Richard, played drums in a garage band, I was their 11yrs young go~go dancer 🤭 💃 whew haha!
Drummer could sing, stand up play drums, keep drums going until another drummer would sit in while hey sang and pumped up the crowd and go back to playing and just keep playing.
Back in High School I went to a Steppenwolf concert. The lead in band was Rare Earth on their first big tour. They were amazing. So good they put Steppenwolf to shame.
Nope those of use in the late 40s like me got the best of all,of it! My son gets jealous at the amount of music I know! I can tell him whose sing it on his radio! Lol,blows him away! One fact that’s true is that at this moment, there’s no band groups that can play like these guys, Chicago, ELP, RareEarth, Bozz , Todays music rather sux
Qué, genial este tema. Me traslada a la epoca de mi juventud, por allá, por los 70.Hoy a mis 65,pura nostalgia de un tiempo qué se fue, escuchando a estas grandes bandas a mis 16 en esa época. Saludos desde Chile.
Being a teen in the 60s and early 70c in Southern California was the greatest time ever. It was like a bright shooting star, it passed by in glory never to be seen again.
What a talented group. This was they're first hit in the late summer of 1970. They would have more! The unique voice belonged too the drummer! They were soulful!
Saw them in 69 at an outdoor concert and man they rocked. Everyone did. Maybe, all the clean,sweet, substance floating around had something to do with the enjoyment level.
I think it's soo cool that Rare Earth (from Detroit) was included in one of the biggest shows to date...Sabbath, Purple, ELP 🤯. I missed this one; caught the 2nd one in '78 😎
Written by Smokey Robinson, “Get Ready” was first a hit for the Temptations, in 1966. Rare Earth, who were then known in and around Detroit as the Sunliners, added the song to their concert setlist that same year.
This was back in the good old days when it cost you for $5 to get a ticket to go to a concert I live through all these days I saw Grand funk railroad for $5 I saw deep purple well it was $6 and we were paying$2.50 for a vinyl a real vinyl album and $5.50 to $8 for a double album this is back in the good old days when they had long guitar solos long drum solos and everybody enjoyed them cuz it just showed the talent of the artist I got to see Ritchie Blackmore with his blazing fingers but so long for those good old days and I'm really glad that I got to see Jeff Beck back in those good days with Carmine and Tim bogert🎸🎤🎶👍👊
I saw the group in 1970 at Miami Marine Stadium. I had the pleasure of seeing the drummer along with Mike Pinera, the organist from Sugarloaf and the bass player from Cannibal and the Headhunters play as The Rock’n’Roll All Stars at the Naples Philharmonic Center back in ‘99(I think) what a concert👍👍👍👍👍👍
The drummer was a friend's cousin. We saw them up close in South Bend, IN. He threw out several pairs of drumsticks throughout the night. I was a fan ever since, March 31, 1974, Notre Dame with Cory Gallagher.
