Remember these bands from the '60s and '70s?

Cool clip...really takes you back to another time and place. Nice post.
Made me want to look up and see if there are any individual clips of some of those artists like Jesse Colin Young after the Youngbloods period.

Frisky, I probably saw over half of those live in concert so that was a nice clip. Some of the ones I enjoyed most were Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Don Mclean, and Simon and Garfunkel. My favorite wasn't shown and that was the Moody Blues. They were amazing.

Moody Blues and Chicago!!!

General and Jmark, I sure remember everyone you mentioned. This was started as a 60's and 70's thread though and you reaching back into the 50's now.

I know I'm biased on this, but, I don't think there will ever be another era of music like the time from about '63 thru '73.

I never thought music really fell into the decade blocks like so many try and pigeon hole music into. The late 50's to early 60's is more similar in style than the early to late 60's, it seems most fall that way. It is typically how I classify the music for myself.

You're very correct about that. Things changed drastically in the mid 60's. Rock seemed to start taking itself more seriously and developed accordingly.

I remember that well. I used to be able to sing along word for word with that song even though I had no idea at all what I was saying. LOL.

Another oddity from that era was:

I took French in junior and senior high so I was a little better with this one.

Another good song!

Good song!

I was in the U. S. Navy at the time and spent time in Japan, you would have thought this was the Japanese national anthem! I've never been so sick of a song in my life. I liked it when it came out but after hearing it 24/7... I don't care to hear it again.

And how about "nel blu dipinto di blu"? For some reason, this one came to mind on my last trip and I was singing it in my mind for about a week.

A nice old song made popular again in 1961 by the great movie "Judgment At Nuremburg"

Yeah...she smokes a lot...would terrify youngsters today...they have been brainwashed to find 23,675 things as "socially unacceptable" by the Socialists...they will reform them into the robots they need to do their bidding. Personally, I think choice is a nice alternative to dogma. Don't like smoking--don't go/work at bar that welcomes it. It worked for a long time...but...the wheels of dictatorship creak ever closer to their goals...one need only watch the movie 1984...Orwell saw the future...he was right. Personally, I miss a sleazy bar and enjoying oneself with the folks that did not spend their waking hours sniffing everyone else's butt...

There are time when I was I had been born Marlene Dietrich.....

Which version of 1984?

[USG'60]

There are time when I was I had been born Marlene Dietrich.....

She was the first woman I ever had wicked thoughts about. I was probably ten at the time.

[jmarkross]

Which version of 1984?

The one from 1955...the one with a nodding acquaintance to the novel...the newer version should have been sunk into the Atchafalaya Swamp...where it belongs--despite the great actors...

I still think Brazil is a very good homage to 1984.
