I was at Desert Trip 2016 with the Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Beatles, Neil Young and some other guy. During intermission they played "Up in Her Room", it was so frickin cool!
Three keyboard players who gave their groups an easy to identify "sound":Daryl Hooper of the Seeds,Rod Argent of the Zombies, and of course Ray Manzarek of the Doors.....
Great choices and I met all three of them. I hung out with Darryle for a while. Met Ray. And with Rod, I was in the restroom early where they were going to play because I was working there. Rod walks into the ladies restroom and starts to wash his hair upside down in the sink. We chat. When he left I thought oh I should’ve said “but Rod you told us to hold our heads up”!
Actually, the Doors pretty much copied the Seeds in their first year prior to their first album and fame; Ray Manzarek coped his double keyboard sound, playing bass lines with his left hand directly from Darryl Hooper of the Seeds.
@@procopiojrpalacios9702 I was 21 in 1967. But I ended up hanging out with him in 2015. After I saw them open for the doors in 1967. I ended up meeting Rod Argent and Ray also. I talk about it on my Facebook page sometimes
Later that night at the dinner table, all over this great land, ten year old Billy announces "I want to grow up and be like Rick Andridge, drummer for the Seeds."
I think that The Seeds "performing" a song as blatantly pro-marijuana as "Mr Farmer" on a teen-oriented, after-school television show that was both hosted and produced by Dick Clark is pure genius! Up there with the post performance 13th Floor Elevators ("You're Gonna Miss Me") being interviewed by Dick and dropping blatant "druggy" references and playing off Clark's actual questions with some epic "veiled references"
They must have been the first band to grow hair past their shoulders. And they were doing that in 1965! That was a frontier level the British bands hadn't even reached yet!
This is actually from 1966, not 1967 (we know how 6 months time during the sixties would see another revolution in looks and sound! ) : Sky had just trimmed into a Stones bowl, but the others still sport their longest hair around from the first album; Jan still wears native red indian hairdo, Daryl looks like a Renaissance musician and Rick… he looks like a forerunner to the Ramones! The Seeds’ Future the next year would see them cleansed, tammed and apparently groomed for success… that failed!
I SAW THIS SHOW EVERY AFTERNOON,IT WAS ON,& STARTED AS JUST A SUMMER VACATION SHOW,BUT DICK CLARK AN ASSOCIATE OF ABC TV.HE DECIDED TO PRODUCE THIS SHOW,HE LIVED IN MALIBU,CALIFORNIA AND THE OCEAN WAS RIGHT THERE,& SINCE HE WAS ALREADY DOING AMERICAN BANDSTAND ON SATURDAYS,EVERY SATURDAY BEFORE LUNCH HE BROUGHT THESE BANDS TOGETHER ON THESE 2 SHOWS,& THE ONLY RADIO THEN WAS AM RADIO,FM RADIO HAD NOT BEEN CTEATED UNTIL THE PSYCHODELIC ERA WHEN EVERYONE WAS GETTING HIGH,& THESE HARD ROCK BANDS STARTED TO APPEAR ON THE NEW RADIO FORM, FM RADIO.
El album A Web of Sound es un caso parecido al Da Capo de Love ... Tiene seis temas Punk Psicodelico ; uno de ellos es un blues que lleva un solo cortito de organo que es una maravilla y en la B ... Dos temas , el largo Up in her room , es bueno pero un tanto repetitivo , se hace un poco pesado ... Valla titulo !! , qué harian en la habitación ?. Un saludo .
As early as 1965, they were exploring a new frontier in hairstyles that even the British bands hadn't gotten to yet. Then in 1967, like everyone else (Beatles, Stones, Turtles, Byrds, etc)---they said, "eh--maybe we're freaking middle America out too much--let's cut it a little bit". The problem was, barbers in those days didn't really know how to cut long hair to make it look good, so when they did, especially the drummer, had poorly cut bangs. But even there, it was still too freaky for middle America, who were still sporting crew cuts, and by 1969--they all said--"man, what's the use? let's let it all hang out---and everybody REALLY started growing some hair!"
Yes, he was a full-blooded Cherokee. His real name was Buck Jan Reeder. He passed away Aug. 5, 2020. Cause of death is unknown at this time. He would have turned 78 in October.
Beatles clones - Why did the think that would work? I get that this was David Axelrod's band and that they were stooges for him but he should have judged better. A full on long hair band was called for and less of the POP notion. His next effort was amazing - Songs of Innocence was perfectly judged for the new Era. If he's had a band behind that with lyrics they could have been huge. It's an amazing album. Luv and Peace.
