Them and the Yardbirds were WAYYYY ahead of their time!! Great '60s psychedelic music.
And to think that Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page were all in the Yardbirds at one time or

[MikeDindu]

This is one of the most rock n roll things I ever heard

[davemonteith]

As a guitar player, I have to say this is one of the best rock grooves of all time. Bo Diddley rhythm, great bass line, harp, Van's voice and a great back beat by the drummer. A true classic!

[MikeVernonProd]

This is one of the greatest songs of all time

[thebobbs]

Way ahead of its time. Awesome and brutal. A masterpiece from the 60s

[ustheserfs]

Van Morrison and R&B is the oxygen that feeds my brain

[hhjgyt]

first time i heard this, about 16 years of age, it sent a chill through me! the ferocity of it....

[GodsTableofGrace]

haven't heard this in about 55 years or so, I know it came out in 65-66 and a few years later I was Vietnam bound ...
My how the years fly by at a blink of an eye in the end....

What a Band They Were ! Great Times And Music !

While Elvis had matured and was no longer singing rockers like "Hound Dog", here in the states we were treated to the 'teen idols', as in Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Rydell, etc. Then there was Brenda Lee singing all of her slow love songs, and Connie Francis mixing it up with rock and roll and ballads. The only groups going at the time were the Beach Boys singing songs about surfing, and the Ventures, an instrumental group. Sugar Shack and Sukiyaki, safe music because the record companies had tamed rock and roll in order to appeal to a larger audience, thus more sales, dominated the charts.

Across the pond, the Brits grew up on our music. Think of all the early 60s groups who later swept into America and dominated it, and you will note that it was the rock and roll of the 50s coming back at us, and it was, in my humble opinion, the long awaited and much needed revival of the genre. Thanks to everyone from the UK and Ireland. Sadly, that lasted perhaps three or so years, and then music split into so many different genres.

I was 18 when this came out. It was great then, maybe greater now.

[jantrieger]

this tune trips me out, for some reason, DIG IT!!

[MusicDude]

Such an unusual song arrangement, and that's what makes it so good. Rock on!

[babsinjrzy]

That's a LOT of music in a little bit of time

[blizzle]

I can't lie.... Soprano's brought me here 😋

[RobHollanderMusic]

Love this one. Reminiscent of a Yardbirds "rave-up" and would later influence the Dead's "Caution."

[slight]

i have the feeling that this song inspired the hardcore punk genre

[cainnabel]
