As an 11 year old I loved this song, but it scared the crap out of me, along with the fact that a cousin of mine screwed his mind on angel dust and wound up hanging himself from a tree with a log chain on Easter morning. True story. I was a pall bearer.
Kenny playing an old Telecaster Bass. Tried one out and it felt like playing a 4 x 4 railroad tie. Went for the Jazz Bass DeLuxe. Man sold a ton of records and some great chicken.
Never knew Kenny was a hippy man far out I mean come on man that's righteous u just know these cat's were smoking something other than cigs and completely into it best song of 68 by Rodgers of all time
The First Edition - Kenny Rogers on lead vocal & Bass Guitar, Terry Williams Vocal & Lead Guitar. Mike Settle Vocal & Rhythm Guitar, Thelma Camacho Vocal & Tambourine, Mickey Jones Drums.
@@ashwynn4177 The First Edition with Kenny Rogers. Fantastic Band that Kenny loved and never wanted to leave to go Solo. He never wanted his name up front it was The Record Label that did that like they did with Gary Puckett & The Union Gap. Check out Videos here on RUclips especially the Pet Sounds where they do a Beach Boys Medley as GREAT as The Beach Boys. Kenny, Terry Williams, Kin Vassy, Jimmy Hassell all GREAT LEAD VOCALISTS. as well as Top Musicians. My favorite band who could do it all. On the original recording of Just Dropped In Glen Campbell is the one playing the intro & outro. Jimi Hendrix told them it was his favorite record.
@@marke6569 That was before Thelma left and was replaced by Mary Arnold (Miller, she was married to Roger Miller) who remained with the band until its breakup.
LoL. the song was written by Mickey Newbury, who did introduce Kenny to acid. After one trip where Kenny though it would never end, he didn't touch the stuff again.
This song really ties the room together.
*ties the movie together
Even more psychedelic mind blowing that it's Kenny Freakin Rogers. 🤯
Him and his Chicken Franchise
Even more odd: Jerry Lee Lewis recorded this first!
Ain't that some mind blowing shit! Could have had ol' Kenny play THE DUDE back in the day! That Kenny really tied the room together!
When I was a DJ somebody at the radio station told me this was Jimi Hendrix's favorite song! BEACH95FM!!!!
I do believe he said that.
I graduated high school in 1968 feeling like this song.
Maybe the most psychedelic song ever made those lyrics are f****** insane still blows my mind today
My understanding is that Kenny's original intent was to mock the psychedelic music scene as simplistic, but the song took off.
*when Kenny Rogers discovers acid*
It apparently wasn’t a promotion for it either
Good one -- Funny! 🤠
BUT, it was written by Mickey Newbury. So really, was when Mickey "discovered acid".
I remember when this came out, I was only 9. I always thought they were talking about a heroin addict. So said dad at the time.
@@louiscolborn6715 Maybe they were (?). I really don't know what "substance"
the lyrics were about! 🤔 🙃
It's a great version and It's also good watching it with sound.
Thanks Mike, great job.
I love the guy on the guitar! He put his all Into those cords baby
He was faking it

Damn, thst sounds like a horrifying memory for such a good song.
So sorry
My favorite Kenny Rogers song. I watch this video often. A good one. I had that song on a 45 rpm record many years ago.

One of my favorites. Many years later I was stunned to find out it was Kenny Rodgers. Pretty psychedelic for sure.
Perfect! this composition and tempo is the perfect one!
Such a great band
Yas oh yas! My baby boomer music! Grew up with this kind of music! Singers that sing so you can understand the words to the song! Yeah, yeah, oh yeah!
As a DJ people were calling the station trying to have this song banned for promoting and glorifying drug use! 😂
i remember them doing this song on the smothers brothers show.
The original astroworld festival. Filmed in front of the roller coaster , the texas cyclone .
Thanks for the info!
So the Philly TV station went to Texas to film this? More likely Dorney Park.
The band got great sound for not having any cords or amps.

"I saw so much I broke my mind". Heavy man. But did he ever find out what condition his condition was in?
Чувак не жадный. Он лишь хотел вернуть свой ковёр... 😁

Always had Kenny Rodgers pegged wrong I guess.
Where are you getting these clips??
Wait does this mean that the dude is actually the most famous Bass player of all time next to Paul
My 7 year old yesterday: he? Hes waking up at sundown? Thats not possible
Why did all hippies have the exact same dance back then? Was this how they experienced the dawn of drugs?
