Tsaiko- also check out on youtube the 1959 version of Miles doing So What. It's with John Coltrane.

And thanks for that Wooly Bully clip- never saw it before.

Yea man, that '59 clip is great! I'd seen it before at some film fest way back, but had to see it all the way thru again.

One thing about the Wooly Bully clip; when every other band of that era had dancing girls, the girls here are just standing there which, to me, makes them more provocative.
Sharing in with the Yardbirds love, here's what most girls were doing on stage during that decade.

Speaking about the Yardbirds and the guitar players that played in that band, they all played with John Mayall first.

I don't want to derail this interesting thread, but here's the most embarrassed band to ever do a lip sync in the 60's. Poor guys!

Harmonica is the main instrument, which John whips out for last few seconds Mick Taylor, another up and coming guitarist to "study" with Mayall, doing his best to take it seriously.

John Mayall's Blues Breakers was a real spawning ground for the early British guitarists. But they all wanted to leave and do their own thing. They apparently felt stifled playing with him. And that was a great Yardbirds clip. There are some very good ones with Jimmy Page, particularly with the band playing Shapes of Things and Over, Under, Sideways, Down. There's even one with Clapton but it's a little hard to hear him play.

Absolutely right Barry...which reminds me of the song Absolutely Right--the 1971 hit from The Five Man Electrical Band.

If you look on You Tube there is a clip from what appears to be The Smothers Brothers where the Turtles "perform" A Guide for the Married Man. Its a classic.

Jim- your musical reach goes a little further than mine. Some of these songs I've never heard of. Back then I was mostly listening to the FM stations that were playing songs that didn't make the hit parade. But the Turtles were cool...although I don't recognize that one.

I can list many, but have to go to work- so, here are a few of my faves:

(in no certain order)

Song- "Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock

Albums- "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"- Pink Floyd

" Are You Experienced"- Jimi Hendrix

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"- Iron Butterfly

Maybe there will be a thread for the 70's, but just in case there isn't- I LOVE the song "Lay Down Sally" by Eric Clapton ( I know, it's a 70's song )

Sincerely, Clayton
