Просмотров 70 тыс.12 лет назад
Croton-on-Hudson, NY. 1967. Battle of the Bands. The Hairy Things rock. The Tradewinds roll. The Bad Habit await puberty. Tim Smith and The Active Ingredients just crush it. The people shuck and jive. Feel the Love!
i really like the rain-swept street scenes!
O cover do the Doors ficou legal !! 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
Wow, this is just fantastic. What a time capsule from that era-it reminds me of the junior high school dances I went to in 1967 and 1968.
Cool.... nice 'direct cinems'/ cinema verite technique in the early parts and crowd dance scenes. A true document of youth, aspiration and dream . ......
I was impressed with that Blues Project cover of Cheryl’s Going Home 3:58
It's still one of the very few pieces of footage that captures youth on that particular day and culture that was about to change history
THIS is what it was like to be like 12/17 in those days. Get dressed up with suede beatle boots, black, circle belt buckle, striped shirts, I grew up in Crestwood NY near Yonkers, Chain Reaction, Steve Talerico, group like the Blues Magoos, or good versions of them, luv this one
The kids playing around the 3:30 mark are so badass!
Fantastic ! I played in a Battle of the Bands in high school. What I wouldn’t give to have had footage of that. Rock on…
THANKS for posting this film
Wait till the Midnight hour Aaaah Aaaah 🎶 😂😂😂😂😂
Man, this is priceless!
awesome footage
OMG... this is priceless!
That was fun
This is great.. I just wish The Watertower West was on here
Every aspect of this document is incredible: the talent and casual brilliance on display from these suburban teenage musicians, the unabashed and un-self-conscious enthusiasm from the young concert/dance attendees, the impressive craft apparent in the direction and edit of the documentary film itself. Did every US high school in the 1960’s have its own teenage Otis Redding, Jim Morrison, Shindig dancers, and young Maysles cinéma vérité film crew? If this isn’t evidence of cultural apex I don’t know what is.
It was the start of such events as inspired by the British Invasion, punk and future subcultures would later carry the torch many years later with teenagers banding together to create something without the help of the mainstream.
Great news--someone has finally posted the entire film! See ruclips.net/video/QQ8RlH0y1sM/видео.html .
That someone is me!
Simply a wonderful, magical of teenage document.
Love this superb musical document-a true cultural time capsule. Thrilled to discover this longer version today. m.ruclips.net/video/QQ8RlH0y1sM/видео.html
I see the person last commented what I am about to say but I have no other words this is just about the best thing I’ve ever seen on RUclips or television… To be caught by surprise like this I mean to see old Croton like that and then the high school gym with the coolest looking people dancing, great musicians practically in diapers killing it on the drums guitar is singers adorable people saying “we stunk at that than “this was absolutely amazing and I’m only four minutes in lol Who are you? I haven’t explored yet but I hope there’s a ton more stuff like this it’s absolutely wonderful are you one of the kids playing in one of the bands? Awesome Thank u
Sorry - it's a one-off. Which kind of makes it even cooler? That was might band that sucked!
@@drynerson lol… none of the band sucked I’m amazed by the amount of talent! I moved to Croton in the fourth grade in 1971 so this is a little bit before my time “socially“ lol but one of the first things I experienced, literally within the first week if not the first day was Billy Mills bringing his drum set into one of the CET classrooms miss Schoonmaker I believe… Or maybe next door and we all went next-door and it was amazing it was like being on the set of the Brady Bunch or some thing L O L… I immediately wanted to play the drums… so monkey see monkey do I guess but watching this made me realize from the moment I moved to Croton life became special in a way… I guess that’s why it’s so shocking to discover in old age what a bunch of shit most people turned out to be even after being blessed with so much profundity, great influences, so much talent… I think I said this already but I literally believed all kids in the world, at least in this country had the same formative years to some degree or another anyway… Anyway I don’t know what I’m talking about anymore but thank you so much
@@drynerson I still haven’t watched the whole thing but I fast forward it a little bit to see “come on baby light my fire“ in the middle he even screams “fire” so boldly I mean anyone can criticize it if you really wanted to but overall it’s just brilliant… so much talent and who shot it all by the way? It’s like American bandstand came to Croton to produce a show with these beautifulYoung men and women, so stylishly dressed with awesome lighting and dancing so well… Oh my God I wish there was more video of the past… Correction I mean Film! That’s another reason why this is so amazing it’s freaking film! Such beautiful colors
My pal Mike Turturro the drummer in first band with Tim smith singing and on keyboards. Joe cooney on guitar in another band. I believe this was pvc gym
@@Mncrr Yes it was
What type of organ on the Doors cover? Vox Continental?
If my memory serves me, it was a Farfisa organ. I might be misremembering.
@@drynerson Farfisa Duo Compact
Belated thanks - bought myself a nice Gem 49 from the mid-1970s
Unbelievable! It was so nice to see my brother, Tim Smith, singing and playing. What a treat! Thank you🙂
What’s he doing these days?
@@HemiVic I just moved from that town a year ago but still in the vicinity.I repair electronics,thank you.
Thank you Delores. A longer version of this is on You Tube somewhere. Love ya.
@@rurelaxed21 What part of the video are you in !?
@@mrsixiesrock2274 I play the organ at beginning for "The Active Ingredients"
Remember it well. I was CHHS class of 1971. Still live in Croton.
When Westchester kids knew how to have fun. Interesting choices: Wilson Pickett, Blues Project, Doors, Newbeats (would love to hear more of Tradewinds' punk-jazz-noise "Bread & Butter"). Only Brit Invasion tune is Zombies cover, which to me has always sounded more coolly American than English, as it does here.
Wow 🤩 ♥️
Multiple cameras too, must've been a big contest
Go psychedelic garage
Let’s talk about the Fender Jazzmaster; the one the cool Buddy Holly-looking kid is playing. The headstock is red, usually the body “matched” and vice versa. I’ve watched this video for years and just noticed that the body looks stripped / no finish. Did a local music shop loan instruments for this concert? Based on what Incan find, the first year for matching headstock was 1966; a year before this. I can’t make sense of it, any ideas?
Sorry - I don't know. The guitar was owned by James Brown (not that one) who also owned the video footage. He was kind enough to let me post it.
Fantastic footage!! The Hairy Things are amazing! Did any of them record anything?
I think that Steve, the guy with the glasses, plays in Toronto. Hobby for everybody else.
The band doing the Blues Project and Doors stuff is great. Shame if they never recorded; even an obscure 45 release.
Wooooow!!!
I love this video, or 8mm film.
What are those guitars at 11:18? It looks like crazy strat copy with two humbuckers on the right and a 'strat' with a funny headstock on the left? Are these Japanese imports that were starting to appear around this time?
No idea!
@@drynerson Well, hopefully a gear nerd will know. Thanks for this, it's a rare window into the past as others have said. Also interesting that the drummers are traditional grip, and that some of the kids had guitars like the Jaguar, the Rickenbacker, and Höfner bass, a lot of newspaper delivery $$$ for those back then.
It is great to see the passion of these early 60' S bands- Thanks, I enjoyed it☺
whos is the singer guitarist with glasses? Also, another terrific musician from CHHS was Peter Seitz.
Stephen Miller- prodigy. The guy was/is way ahead of his time.
@@drynerson I am pretty sure I took guitar lessons with him. His mom is Nancy?
@@rdelavarre Yes, you're right!
@@drynerson what happened with the band? and what about him?his performance really fascinated me
@@antoniolucas98They all pursued careers. Stephen was playing in Toronto.
Class of 76. Amazing . Would love to know the other band members. My heroes back then were Bryan Bowman, Ned Doughtery, Dorie COllier, Jeff Ward, members of the best Croton band, Squat on My Grunt. Hope to hear from others from Croton, NY
Thanks to Jim Brown for curating this. Most of whom you mention are still friends.
@@drynerson are you from croton? What happened to drummer Jeff Ward?
@@rdelavarre Yes I am from Croton, but I went to boarding school for high school. I played bass in the Bad Habit (youngest band) with Geoff and Andy Collier and David Beldock. I was in the jug band with my brother Deane off and on for years. As far as I know, Jeff Ward is living in midcoast Maine. I am in touch with Dore and Ned on facebook.
@@drynerson So cool. That CHHS class was so cool. Hippies, dope, but smart guys and talented. Jeff Ward was my neighbor in Croton. I was four years younger, but I admired these guys so much. I graduated in 76. I hold the record in NY state for most wins by a pitcher in 76. 15 wins 0 loses, one perfect game. A full ride to Univ South Carolina. I've written a memoir which is on amazon. i just finished a novel which I am trying to sell as a movie. Play guitar, have 8 strats and one acoustic. My dad was a concert pianist and filmmaker. Croton was the best place ever. As you can tell, I live in the past. Hope to see more of your posts. Thank you, Rene delaVarre
Great Job!
God bless all of them!!! They had the gear, some talent and the balls and went forth.
In my opinion, these bands all deserve a Grammy Award for playing pure Rock n’ roll! Today’s music is such a joke! Beats! Computer sounds! Ridiculous!
A pity there's not more footage of the third song on this one as it's really something............2:44.........anyone know who they are?
The Hairy Things
I was shocked at 3:58, they played Cheryl Going Home by the Blues Project. One of the best unknown rock songs of all time. Listen to the Blues Project do this song on youtube. Its great.
The original version of "Cheryl's Going Home" is from an Italian band called The Rokes. The original song is entitled "Che Colpa Abbiamo Noi" and here's the link to the original song: ruclips.net/video/ZeVZdUlVUvY/видео.html
They also did Steve’s Song by the blues project just before that
Thank you.
Love it!
TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Great piece of music history. !
I am seventy one, this is my era, and I have been in the music business. The band with the lead singer with glasses and the Rickenbacker guitar player. He had that classic psych rock voice that would have stood with the Strawberry Alarm Clock and many other bands of the classic garage rock genre.
I keep listening to this guy sing, he should have been in San Francisco singing with the Chocolate Watch Band or some other Psycedelic Band, He has that sound all by himself.
Does anybody know who he is or what happened to him.
@@johns6362 someone told me that his name is Steve Miller, but i don't have any more information. He is really a cool guy and great musician. I wish i could know more about him
@@johns6362 That is Stephen Miller, and he is still a professional musician (guitarist and singer) in Brantford Ontario
the greatest garage rock performance of "Steve's Song" by the Blues Project is at 2:43
Agreed.
@@drynerson the fact that this band plays not one but TWO Blues Project songs proves how genius they really were...
Whats the band at 4:00, anybody ?
David Rynerson, thank you!!! Do any of y'all have tapes of The Bad Habit or The Hairy Things????
Sorry - That's all I have. Curated by Jim Brown.
