@@robertcartwright563 exactly …it’s great that he had them on. Save the extended long versions for the FM album oriented rock stations that started to come about at this time.
@@truebetold65 Thanks. First off, I remember that we were disappointed that Sullivan wasn't there personally to do their introduction. I remember that an off-stage announcer did the duties. Obviously the number was simply spliced into the actual show with Ed's intro. The audience (probably around 200), were enthusiastic and seated in folding chairs around this makeshift stage in the middle of the casino. I remember we moved on shortly after the Chamber's number because this wasn't like a normal show with one act after another introduced by Ed.
Hands down, one of the greatest psychedelic rock songs of all time. Sadly, this band is overlooked by most of the ranking lists for the past 50 plus years.
I am a child of the Era and know all the music of that Era, but I am shocked never heard of this band. The eleven minutes version of this song is mind blowing
The 1967 single was a Top 10 near-miss in America, spending five weeks at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1968. In Canada, the song reached No. 9. It is now considered one of the landmark rock songs of the psychedelic era. 😊
Great song and a great band. People had more talent back then. They really knew how to play instruments and sing. They didn't have to pre-record or alter the sound of their voices. This was real talent. You're awesome my cousins!!
this is the kind of song that once you hear it, it changes your whole perspective on music. I remember hearing it for the first time, and it's still great
Looking back at the Ed Sullivan show, its amazing how bands had to cram long songs into TWO MINUTES. At least we got to SEE amazing bands, but can you imagine the stress of having only 2 minutes to make your mark in the world?
For those that weren't around I saw these guys in concert four times in South Florida and each time they put on a great show. They truly are brothers from Mississippi.
I saw them in Washington, D.C. at the Ambassador Theater when this song was a gigantic hit. Though you won't see it in any tour archive, I assure you they were there. It must have been a quick pick up gig during their East Coast run...A quick look says they played D.A.R. Constitution Hall, but that's not where I saw them.
This is a good song. Everyone recognizes it. But I think the most remarkable thing about the song is the iconic studio version -- the production quality was excellent. It just had that vintage late sixties sound.
They play this song at my local Walgreens located on East Sunrise Blvd in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. It is played over the PA system in the store between the hours of 4 and 7 pm which is when they play music from the 60's. I guess they do it at all the other Walgreens stores as well. To say that it's an iconic song is an understatement. It takes me back to a time in which I hadn't even been born yet. It sounds crazy but it does. An amazing band from the 60's these Chamber Brothers.
1966 ~ Brother Marco and I played this when we were bored.. Mom used to yell at us to turn the damn RADIO down.... I don't know how we got this album we never had any money anyway... and so we survived our childhood.
The guy that played bass on the record played at our wedding! We knew the music store they used to come to in Brooklyn. All musicians & the mom made their first outfits!
I’m 75 and still love that song. I graduated high school the year of its original release. Young people rebelling and so intent on changing racial disharmony and bringing an end to the Vietnam war. A war in which over 58,000 young Americans died for absolutely nothing. One of the saddest times in American history

The crowd deserved the full version, a song that truly defined the era.
That's what I was thinking.
@@sunandsage Up North...poor bastards...Republic Of South Vietnam
No they don't it's Sullivan at least it's live. Time is expensive!
@@robertcartwright563 exactly …it’s great that he had them on. Save the extended long versions for the FM album oriented rock stations that started to come about at this time.
This was taped at the newly opened Circus Circus hotel in Las Vegas. I was with my parents watching this performance from the balcony.
That sounds awesome
I've always wondered where this was. You can see the slot machines at 01:54. Thanks for filling the blanks!
Was there a lot of people in the audience, what was the mood, and by the way you are a legend for just attending and your story.

@@Kelley32 Thanks you for your reply and it's still a legendary moment in history 👍🇺🇸
The tone of his voice is otherworldly awesome. Perfect pitch with just enough gravel at the end. One of the best songs ever. Great singer great band.
Well said!
Massively underrated band
They call his voice whiskey salt. Janis Joplin had the female version of whiskey salt. JUST AWESOME!!!!
Rest in peace, Joe Chambers…
I saw them open for Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix at the Singer Bowl in NY in Aug. 1968. What a f'n concert!!!
right on !!
lucky :-)
Sweet: hopefully you still have the ticket stub
BEYOND epic ...(bowing to you now, as I am not worthy)
Wow 🤩!
It is NOT possible to have "more cow bell." Iconic song.
I was thinking the same
You win the comments section
Hands down, one of the greatest psychedelic rock songs of all time. Sadly, this band is overlooked by most of the ranking lists for the past 50 plus years.
You said it! They were just so exciting,in a way on the SLYville level from the shows I saw!
I am a child of the Era and know all the music of that Era, but I am shocked never heard of this band. The eleven minutes version of this song is mind blowing
I know; it's crazy.
I guess the drummer was a Brother of a different mother😊
Yes, and the line ‘my soul’s been psychedelisized was censored by that old fogey Ed Solomon. 😢
These guys were on another level.. freaking epic. One of the best songs of the era.
one of the greatest songs of all time.
One of the greatest song endings of all time. A criminally underrated drummer that can keep time with the brothers..
Truly timeless.
I totally agree.
@@shabadoo24 The drummer, Peter Keenan, died young from a fatal heart attack, Oct. 5th 1985 at age 42.
Wow!!!! So good live!!! Love ❤️ this song!! Thank you Ed Sullivan for having them!
Brian Keenan was a criminally underrated drummer
Agreed!!
@@kitkat914 You mean Elton John? That's Elton John behind the kit
Yes, it is@@throwingstick
@@throwingstick I thought it was Micky Dolenz from the Monkees.
OMG yes! His drumming is incredible!
Rest in peace to the great Joe Chambers
One of the greatest songs to get high to when I was in Vietnam. It always brings back those memories of 1969.
thank you for your service!
@@valnaples Thank you!
Thank You, for Your Service!❤
@@margaritaramos3393 Thank you.
Thank you for your service
The best of the best appeared on the Ed Sullivan show for decades, playing live without lip synching.
My God, what a fabulous song. And a terrific performance here. It was great then and still is today.
Best use of a cow bell ever great tune
This song burned the radio down. Fire.
Saw these guys live in 1974 ... awesome concert.
The 1967 single was a Top 10 near-miss in America, spending five weeks at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1968. In Canada, the song reached No. 9. It is now considered one of the landmark rock songs of the psychedelic era. 😊
This dude's voice is really magic in this song ,heavy lyrics too!!
I heard this song on an album 58 years ago. It absolutely blew me away.... Such an innovation
1963?
@@Michel305 So much happened in the 60s that the years count double
Great song and a great band. People had more talent back then. They really knew how to play instruments and sing. They didn't have to pre-record or alter the sound of their voices. This was real talent. You're awesome my cousins!!
Don't know that people had more talent, but I think they really worked at maximizing that talent.
. First heard it 40 years ago.
Still blows me away.
Who is still rocking to this jam in 2024 ?
HomeFront (2011)!
Try to imagine Ed Sullivan allowing the long version....
Ed Sullivan was the Man! He debuted so MANY groups for the first time, like the Beatles, the Stones, etc etc
Love this tune
That voice! Loved it then, love it now.
Hello Joan how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
When everyone was "whisper thin" because we all danced to awesome music like this.
and LSD.
this is the kind of song that once you hear it, it changes your whole perspective on music. I remember hearing it for the first time, and it's still great
One of the true anthems of the 1960's. Check out lead singer Lester Chambers when he sings and repeats the line "I have no home." Really moving.
These are the COOL CATS of our generation. Listen to them sing 'PEOPLE GET READY'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He'll yeah❤😊
Cowbell guy is killin it!
This song is playing on my radio right now November 1, 2023 at 3:54 PM. I love it I love it I love it. 😊❤
Every band should have a cowbell guy.
We need more cowbell!
Nothing says soul like a cowbell
Lester Chambers on cowbell
@@rockdrumr2772 Ahhhh Saturday Night Live. Christopher Walken!
GOTTA HAVE MORE COWBELL!
Everybody was so slim back then compared to now.
There version of People get Ready on this album is unsurpassed in my opinion! Great Album and an excellent Band!
I’ve always liked So Tired, a slow bluesy tune. The Brothers natural harmony blends perfectly to reflect the sad, weary mood of the song.
Absolutely agree!
Time Has Come Today is a great song off a great album.
I like their cover of In the Midnight Hour, Romeo and Juliet written by Lester Chambers, the guy on the cowbell.
Too short 😢 My soul hadn't been psychedelicized.
thank Ed Sullivan for thank censoring.
@@ronluckenbach9492 Huh?
Love this song! I will never forget it!
That was awesome, so glad it is preserved for all TIME!
I saw them perform at the NewportPop Festival in 1968. It was an experience to remember!😊
Looking back at the Ed Sullivan show, its amazing how bands had to cram long songs into TWO MINUTES. At least we got to SEE amazing bands, but can you imagine the stress of having only 2 minutes to make your mark in the world?
This song ignites my rebel spirit....this seems as, good a time, as any.
Godspeed, y'all.
They had another Mind blowing tune too. Love, Peace & Happiness.
I Remember watching this on the Ed Sullivan show when I was a kid. I remember my uncle saying “I always wanted to play lead cow bell in a band”.
Always loved this song!
For those that weren't around I saw these guys in concert four times in South Florida and each time they put on a great show. They truly are brothers from Mississippi.
The C Brothers had a unique sound, true standouts, underrated! The regular/long version of Time was in heavy rotation on FM and AM
I saw them in Washington, D.C. at the Ambassador Theater when this song was a gigantic hit. Though you won't see it in any tour archive, I assure you they were there. It must have been a quick pick up gig during their East Coast run...A quick look says they played D.A.R. Constitution Hall, but that's not where I saw them.
This was a great record and these guys were a great band.
Killer song loved it the first time the thousandth time and again today
Hell yes✌👍
Got to hear this once at 2 a.m. while taking a ride on Dr. Leary's orange spaceship. Definitely an "Experience".
Oh, the cowbell...FANTASTIC!
Pas d'autre mot.....
When I saw this, & it said 2:07, I was thinking what the heck?
BUT they sure packed it in & delivered !
And that stage !!!
This is a good song. Everyone recognizes it. But I think the most remarkable thing about the song is the iconic studio version -- the production quality was excellent. It just had that vintage late sixties sound.
Rest in Peace, Joe.
Saw them in July of 69 at Newport 69 at Devonshire Downs in the San Fernando Valley. They tore the place up
I have a fever. And the Chambers brothers have my prescription!😎
THIS. IS. A. GREAT. VIDEO. OF. EM. LIKE. IN. 1970. WHEN. MY. NAVY. BUDDY. MIKE. AND. I. SAW. EM. 🎵
This is outrageous....
I saw them do this live many times. Great stuff.
they rocked so hard
Just the ideal amount of cowbell.
loved this song and the drummer is great.
I have just rediscovered this song, love just watching him sing it.
This was the short version of this fabulous classic.
one great tune from my younger days! Awesome song!
Timeless

Omg lived this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THe music is great! One of the greatest live performances!
I love everything about this, one of my favourite songs, so glad this was uploaded ❤🤙
The best music EVER. We need to scrap today’s music and reprogram these songs for radio stations.
Every band should Rock like these guys
There are songs that everything comes together just right and it becomes a timeless masterpiece.
Like this.
Truth
Love this. Love his voice!

Memories from Albuquerque. A radio station would play this song once a month.
Classic... Encore !
This sounds fantastic
A smokin' band. Too bad we didn't get the long version of this song.
Probably would have been a little too spooky for the Ed Sullivan Show with all those diabolical screams lol.
We didn't even get the short version
@@shyman99 Missing at least one verse.:(
jaykayer. On NATIONAL TELEVISION?!!! with commercials?? I have some: SCREEN DOORS ON A SUBMARINE"! that I`m sellin. Interested?!
Epic
One of the great voices, from perhaps the greatest era, perfectly performed. Magic.
Casualties of war (1989) bar scene music.
"and my soul has been psychedelicized" great line.....
i have never heard their songs before, what a loss for me.
One of the greatest songs and honest songs, brothers playing and rocking,respect
1966 ~ Brother Marco and I played this when we were bored.. Mom used to yell at us to turn the damn RADIO down.... I don't know how we got this album we never had any money anyway... and so we survived our childhood.

I’m with you big brother, 10 years younger than you. Love this song when it first came out and still love it! Yes a sad time back then.
Never will a song be made like it
The original MTV! Loved watching the band’s every Sunday night! Great times, music and memories!
Love this band , Love this song. So many good memories.
Cool tune it rocks
My favorite from that album. The instrumentals remind me of the Ventures. You were wrong George RIP. Cool song. Thanks buddy.
