Sancho Panza Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Is extremely underrated. Been listening to "Underground" and "Stockholm 67", and to my big suprise, I found out that he is good, really good, especially on the live album. People only know his contribution to the music world on the fuzz-tremolo-vibrato intro to "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftc3Yrqg_CQ (Like this version of the song, it's kinda muddy with two lead guitars though) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRw4vO5HLqc (This solo is as amazing as it can get, and what a tone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Killer tracks. I love a good dose of psych/nuggets/garage rock early in the morning. Maybe at lunch I'll get out around the Loop and freak on some yuppie squares. And yes, Ken Williams could tear up a fretboard with tasty, fuzzy tones. Nice Lester with the Bigsby in video two.

recsec Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I got turned on to these guys back in the late 60's. While browsing through a record store (remember them?) I found this album called the "Mass in F Minor", by them. I, being a rebelious 16 year old catholic kid immediatley bought it and took it home and wore it out. My Mom and Dad threatened to throw me out of the house if I didn't stop listenening to that heretical music. The only other song that got a reaction from them was the Doors "The End" which they immediatley broke and later replaced with a Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass record.

Jeff-7 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 You know I had never heard of them before, I really like it thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PP_CS336 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 You know I had never heard of them before, I really like it thanks! The Electric Prunes were big in the mid 60's during the Psychedelic era. I played in a Garage/Psychedelic band a few years back and we were doing all kinds of stuff like that. Brought me back to my Jr. High school days.

I've actually never heard that album, mostly 'cause (to my big disappointment) it wasn't The Electric Prunes who played on it, I think that they played on one song, the rest is another band, maybe have to check it out? "The End", haha, I think I understand why your parents broke it, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I was 16 or 17 when they came out. At that time they were something. It still does sound good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been amazing to hear the intro to "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night", sounds amazing today, but I can't even imagine how it did sound in the 60s.
