This takes me back to my mid- to late-teens in the 1970s to Monday nights at The Railway pub in Harrow (London) where local band the Bozos used to do a great version. (They were a lot more relaxed about checking your age back then.)
An awesome version of an unheard classic. Love it when Chuck gets the young lady to join him on his mic. Thank you Chuck Prophet n' greetings from England
Lost count of all the remakes of this song. I hope the Groovies are getting a piece of the action. I have always loved this song.This is really faithful to the Groovies version.😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀♥️🍀🍀💞💞💞💞💞💞💕💕💕💕💕💕💜💜💜💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾
I was just listening to Smokestack Lightning from the Green on Red album No Free Lunch and thinking how much they reminded me of the Flaming Groovies when RU-vid recommended this!
I was there when Chuck showed the guys the chord changes for this. Roy Loney was coming by to sit in that night and this was one of his old band's tunes. Turned out to be a real crowd pleaser, so they occasionally pull it out for us. That's "Willie Mays up at bat" that Chuck is teaching to the crowd at the end- learn it people, (you let me down last night, S.F.)
One of the tightest live bands you'll ever see live. And this sounds wayyy better than the way the groovies do it now. Much more faithful to the song imo
Hey Chuck, you've done this song justice! It's also very popular in Brisbane as ex-Screaming Tribesman guitarist Mick Medew covers it with his band The Mesmerisers. Check it out on Dario Western's RU-vid channel. :)
@@Matzohball77 sorry, i missed the point. I was thinking about SHAKIN' ALL OVER. I was probablly drunk. Shame on me, i call myself a FLAMIN' GROOVIES fan
@@anfrankogezamartincic1161 no worries...I'm from Canada so we like to think of SHAKIN' ALL OVER as a GUESS WHO song (they had a big hit with a cover of it)).
James Wilkins Nope, but someone else posted a version. And I see there's one up from Lucy's. Also a guy at the back was shooting the whole thing, so check again in a few weeks)
Chuck nous la joue à l'anglaise trop pop....même en France..peu comprenne enfin si les fans des beatles...La meilleure version que j'ai entendu en reprise est par l'ancien Del Lords! Les Yum Yums ont fait des reprises bien mieux et leur dernier album "for those about to Pop" est franchement terrible
