How did today’s bands get to be such pussies? Nobody today comes even close to this level of committment, performance, writing and musicianship.
Most of these bands created genres within the genre. Country Joe, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the ‘Airplane, the ‘Dead, Spirit, the ‘Butterfly, Blue Cheer, the Byrds, Hendrix, Steve Miller Band etc., and that’s just some of this side of the Atlantic.
the song death sound on this lp is killer.. good lp to drop acid to…. the live version of this at woodstock is better i think than the studio . i saw an inteview with joe on pbs about this lp, apparently they recorded this thing pretty much dropping acid.
This was my very favorite of their songs and was so disappointed when they didn’t sing it at this huge concert at the Long Beach Arena, but what the heck Buffalo Springfield made up for with all their songs.
i am 14(1970) and its my first desert party in north phx az. we’re in my cousins car blazing for about the third or fouth time ever. heard this tune and its been in my head ever since. a true classic. you can see why i relate to your comment.
Sweet Lorraine……..fka Lori The Lovemaker……..one meeting, one night……..March, 1969…….August, 2010-Facebook friends……amazing!!!
Barry melton is such an underrated guitarist!!!!!!!!!!
From music enhanced by drugs to music enhanced by computers..hehehe
@amin1950 i guess people in music are the same as hollywood is today. no imagination, trying to rehash things from the past that cannot be re created.
Well, Oldrocker, I did not think that anyone but me remembered the Ultimate Spinach.
Thanks for making me feel young again.

Thanks Alex!, you reminded me of the ’60′s folk stuff……..
we used to call em “boondockers”
I was always told it was about a girl hermit who obsseses with death. But there are always more than 1 explanaitions for a song.
Well you know that it’s a shame and a pity
You were raised up in the city
And you never learned nothing ’bout country ways,
Ah, ’bout country ways.
the best part of the song!!

Absolutely the monterrey pop version is stunning
It was on the playlist on XHIS in San Diego back in the early seventies, haven’t heard it since.
