I saw them in 68 opened for Hendrix at Hollywood Bowl. Incredible concert. Fudge tore the Bowl down, the Hendrix came out and burned all the way down. Then I got drafted............
The guy introducing Vanilla fudge is the great trumpet player bandleader Ray Anthony who just turned 100 years old on 1/20/22 Ray is the last survivor of the Glenn Miller orchestra
Ray Anthony was big when I was little. His show was way up there in popularity, and, even in 60's terms, slightly edgy. If I may. For those who remember then: The Beatles, The Beach Boys; American Bandstand, The Monkeys, being the music on network television. Imagine yourself in those days, as the little brother of one of the young ladies dancing. Your big sister, six years you're senior, comes home from her audition, "Hey everyone! I'm going to be on TV!" She's gotten her first big break. Your big sister is going to be a dancer on the Ray Antony show! The family gathers in front of the TV that night, and there she is, you're big sister, the one you've known, seemingly, forever, but knew little of. Like the rest of the family, your eyes are glued to the screen. The band is introduced, and they begin to play. After breathlessly whispering, "Holy Shit!" loud enough that your mom and dad hear, what could you have said next?
Their rendition of this song is by far my favorite, but these guys were so melodramatic and over the top it cracks me up. I've seen Carmine Appice play with Govt Mule as a guest a few times and he still pounds the drums like he's 20 yrs. old!
I met Carmine Appice in Stockholm in 1976 when he was the drummer in Rod Stewart´s band. I worked in Grand Hotel and we had this agreement with the two top night clubs in Stockholm that we could send over famous artists/bands for an after gig party so I called the night club Atlantic that Rod and the band is coming. Later on I had free drinks and a vip card and had some nice conversation with Carmine after they returned to the hotel in the early morning hours.
Psychedelia in all it's late 60's glory - love the GoGo girls...great band of course - Carmine pounding on those beautiful, big blonde maple Ludwig tubs...one for the ages...
Family visited London early autumn 1967. I was 14 and deep into rock. NME reader diligently. Carnaby Street was the place to see, take in all the styles and fashion. Entered a record store and asked for ‘underground music’ . Young, eager and foreign. I walked out with Vanilla Fudge. My first LP. Cherish it until this day. A what a find this clip. Love it 😊
Occasionally overlooked perhaps, but only a twit would rate him poorly. He made up for anything he lacked in technique and playing ability (which wasn't very much) with his infectious energy and manic stage performance. If he was good enough for the Vanilla Fudge and one third of Beck Bogert Appice, he should be good enough for any critic.
Carmine Appice.... Helps Bonham get his first heavy kit from Ludwig.... Talk about an influencer. Carmine sure can punish them drumsticks.... But artfully and true to form! The whole band had talent above and beyond!
JonnyBGoode64 i met him after a show and asked him if the story about the mud shark at the edge water inn was real. Frank Zappa talks about it during Zappa at the Fillmore album. Mark confirmed it was true. Wild times.
He was really good and that Hammond B3 and Leslie like you said. It just gives you cold chills down your spine. I got ahold of a 1970 147 Leslie speaker and it's just unbelievable.
Tim was and Is a MONSTER on bass. Great guy too. I went to MI in 1994 and he was a teacher there. he was my favorite by far.Great vocal coach too. I learned a lot from that man. Such a humble guy for some one of his caliber. Man did he have some stories to tell. He is as classy as they come.
Yeah, saw 'em around March/April of '68, between Soft Machine (whom I loved) and Jimi ( who just fuckin' blew us all away!... Fudge were superb, and couple yrs. later, saw Neil Bogert with Cactus...
I saw these guys open up for Jimi Hendrix. I was 14 years old. My father was crazy. He never let me date however I was going to all kind of rock concerts by myself or with girlfriends and going to the night clubs at 16 years old. He approved. But it was all to hear live music. Lived in the San Francisco Bay area and we had a crazy music scene in the 60s,70s.
Agreed. I could never understand the point of playing someone else’s song and not putting your own interpretation to it. And VF definitely put their own unique stamp on things.
Ray Anthony was the last surviving member of the Glenn Miller Band...amazing that a musician from the Second World War would someday introduce one of the pioneers of psychedelic rock, one decade removed from the birth of Rock...
The best cover of this song. This music drives me in a sort of trance. Five stars for the dancers, glance off to the girl on the right part of scene, she's so beautiful and moves so well...
I had it as a single...... about the same time I bought Jeff Beck's "Hi Ho Silver Lining" but not for that crappy song, but the incredible "B" side, Beck's Bolero.
I saw Jeff Beck in 69 at the Fillmore East, and in 2010 in Cincinnati....he just got badder and badder (the good bad, of course) 69 was very cool...2010 was absolute killer! Rhonda Smith, Jason Rebello, Narada Michael Walden....great band!
+Michael Mixon These guys were true innovators. They created the sound of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. John Bonham was almost totally a Carmine Appice rip off.
I started playing this song in my band "The Other Side" in junior high school...every time we played it, the girls went wild! And this is 30 years before Girls Gone Wild! I later had the supreme pleasure of jamming with Tim Bogert at the Central in Hollywood. A true pleasure to be sure.
It may just be me, but I think the go-go dancers add so much to this performance. I was only three years old then, but if I was up late enough on the night this was broadcast, I'm sure I would have been suitably stunned also.
VF was soooo out there compared to EVERY other band at that moment in time... so f'in' good Saw them once and it was a monster experience. They deserved better than the fan support they received but those that know can savor their music forever.
+Carlo Von Sexron that is BULLSHIT. Cybermuff is correct. In the 60s you didn't have to look for it, it was on the radio 24/7, on TV most weeknights. When you didnt do TV or Radio, you had your records on. We wallowed in it and rightly so. Today's music is absolute crap being foisted on people who don't seem to know any better.
Just saw Vanilla Fudge perform at Abbey Road on the River annual Beatles festival in Jeffersonville, Ind. They sounded fantastic! They've still got it.
i sang in band with tim bogart playing bass when he taught at MI in hollwood,ca, that was a wild moment in my life , and the song was "heard it thru grapevine," Tim had so much positive energy (1988) such a rocker ,nice guy, very inspiring, i remember ! this is a great video!! thanks!
I saw them in the late 60's opening for the BJs along with Spanky and Our Gang. When they did "Keep me hanging on" the crowd just erupted. They stole the show that night.
Two things. 1. They actually played the song and didn't lip sync it to a record like so many other groups did for TV in that era. 2. OMG! I forgot all about White Go-Go boots!
back about 6-8 yrs ago , there was a tour that headlined with The Doors 2000 ( think that was name) it was some orig Doors plus singer from the Cult . Along with them was Vanilla Fudge.. still had Carmine Appice on drums and the bass player...what a high range he can sing at that bassist..... they put on a great show after all these years....
This is sooo cool! What a song! … played right! Quetin Taratino’s movie brought me here; made me dig into this song’s roots. I grew up when the Kim Wylde version was popular.

RIP Tim Bogert 1944-2021 the legend
Timmy could play circles around most bassists in his time. He is a Hall of Fame bassist.
JHallia He could play circles around most Bass players right now! I mean how does he all that amazing stuff?
2024, and still the best song & video on RUclips.
I HAVE ENJOYED PLAYING THIS VIDEO CONTINUOUSLY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS..."THERE AIN'T NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT..."
Tim Bogert - The most underrated bass player ever !
Occasionally overlooked perhaps, but only a twit would rate him poorly. He made up for anything he lacked in technique and playing ability (which wasn't very much) with his infectious energy and manic stage performance. If he was good enough for the Vanilla Fudge and one third of Beck Bogert Appice, he should be good enough for any critic.
Beck bogert appice is good
CACTUS ROCKED!
Tim Bogert R.I.P
Carmine Appice.... Helps Bonham get his first heavy kit from Ludwig.... Talk about an influencer. Carmine sure can punish them drumsticks.... But artfully and true to form! The whole band had talent above and beyond!
The dancers are sooo hot! Gotta love the go go boots.
That organ always sends chill down my spine... Mark Stein truly underrated...

Soon there will be a post saying everyone in the band is underrated. I saw post on another video saying the Beatles vocalsz were underrated.
@@gmkmoviesI have always heard that Led Zeppelin were the guys involved in that crazy activity.
@@marthawelch4289Zeppelin was opening for The Fudge back then and they were in the same hotel.

Love how each dancer's choreography is different.
Carmine had all the moves and style ,love his tecnique ,snare sound he gets is killer and still playing ,must be over 70 now god bless the guy .
This entire group was years ahead of its time.
Carmine Appice smoking on drums, Tim Bogert on bass, wow. Those go go dancers are HOT.
This takes me back . What a great era ❤ Feed your Head !! ❤

@@burrbonus I didn't see Fritz. Sorry to have missed them. Back then I was always on the look out for a good band.
My head would have exploded if I was sitting in that audience
Psychedelic era... what a time to be alive....
No computers, just simple, plain music. Stupendous stuff!
Lee Watson As God intended it to be :)
I wish someone used a computer to remove that white noise
Just a 100% genuine Hammond B-3 and Leslie combo. No Nord Electro or even Suzuki digital emulation there.
Greatest cover band ever, made songs better than originals
Agreed. I could never understand the point of playing someone else’s song and not putting your own interpretation to it. And VF definitely put their own unique stamp on things.
Love this! Real music....Playing music the way it's meant to be played....
There is never enough vanilla fudge!! YES!!
Here we are in 2021. The go go dancers now in their 70's. Music is totally ageless.
Ray Anthony was the last surviving member of the Glenn Miller Band...amazing that a musician from the Second World War would someday introduce one of the pioneers of psychedelic rock, one decade removed from the birth of Rock...
R.I.P. Tim Bogert
RIP Tim Bogart...he just goes off on this song! Carmine! Insane.
51 years old still FANTASTIC!!
beyond fantastic
The best cover of this song. This music drives me in a sort of trance. Five stars for the dancers, glance off to the girl on the right part of scene, she's so beautiful and moves so well...
I couldn't stop watching her.
@@dalesanders1260 Same for me, she's the focus point of the video, she has something so special, she's mesmerizing..!!.
i've searched everywhere for info on the go go dancer, wish i knew her name and what became of her. she's stunning
That dude is Tim Bogert and he played here like a madman. It was awesome!!
Carmine Appice IS SOMETHING ELSE ...ONE OF BEST DRUMMERS EVER!
His brother Vinnie pretty good too
Ladies and gentlemen, the Eight Hot Legs Dancers!
The best performance of the song.
Holy Crap!!! These lads truly rocked ass harder than most cats do nowadays! They had so much power & soul juice!
Ah yes, the 60s....great musicians, fantastic music,dig those go go dancers with their go go boots!!!! What a great time in life!!!!
Them boots had me thinking of Nancy Sinatra 😎✌🏽🤙🏽
@@MrMooney196144 Exactly...Thank you...Mr. Morales...😀😁😎
You know you're getting old when you remember the first time this played.

It's ok grooving on
Love those go go girls
The bass player was way ahead of the time.
Michael Mixon The Whole Band was ahead of their time, each member contributed something to the band which made it unique.
Michael Mixon Yes he was! He was really loose and free on this performance.
+Michael Mixon These guys were true innovators. They created the sound of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. John Bonham was almost totally a Carmine Appice rip off.
Yes he's pretty far out there, I think he just needed another hit of Acid... Lol
+2003DYNAWIDEGLIDE No, Looks like he had just enough.

Stunning document...¡¡¡ STunniing band, suit, performance...Tim bogart appears like a acolite with his brother...YEAH...😎😎😎
I've always loved this song, but these dancers are giving me life and vitality. I wonder what ever happened to them..
Carmine Appice on the drums
It may just be me, but I think the go-go dancers add so much to this performance. I was only three years old then, but if I was up late enough on the night this was broadcast, I'm sure I would have been suitably stunned also.
I love this song. My boyfriend in high school dedicated this to me. He played in a band! Wonderful memories!
What a song to dedicate to you.... What did you do to him?
VF was soooo out there compared to EVERY other band at that moment in time... so f'in' good
Saw them once and it was a monster experience. They deserved better than the fan support they received but those that know can savor their music forever.
Vanilla Fudge, The Nice and other 60's groups were awesome. Today there is nothing but noise makers and not music makers.
cybermuff You just have to look a little harder than you used to and be open minded, that's all.
+Carlo Von Sexron that is BULLSHIT. Cybermuff is correct. In the 60s you didn't have to look for it, it was on the radio 24/7, on TV most weeknights.

Carlo Von Sexron yeah and sometimes I have nostalgia for Beethoven. Quality lasts. Get over it.
+wanda vel Right on Wanda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Тарантино дал этой песни вторую жизнь 👍
Fudge were eons ahead of their time....and they didn't hide it!!! Go go chix are a must for this kinda music😘😘😘
They were great and I went to cover bands playing this and danced my behind off with as many pretty girls as I could.
Those dancers had soul!
@NightLife Music&IRL - Free Style w/ The Skate, lt Jerk, Shingaling, The Pony, Swim..
Saw them at my school in ‘68. I’ve seen just about all of the greats. I rank Vanilla Fudge in top five best all time live bands.
I turned 17 this year, my senior year in HS ... absolutely LOVE this music! Lots of great memories!!! Thank you, Charlie C, for introducing me to it.
Great song! Love these dancers back then too.They are just doing what comes natural and it looks great.
Take that for longevity !!!!
Actually played live too....outstanding....
Groovy 😎 I can dig it 👍!
I loved this cover way back when and still list it in my top 10!! Way back, Led Zeppelin opened for Vanilla Fudge!
Amazing! Wonderful drums
thanks for all the great tunes Tim..we miss you already!
Have to love the late 60's where some old square with short hair and a suit had to introduce these new heavy rock bands. LOL
THE HIPPIE CHICK’S ARE PRETTY 🤩
They had great muffs
LOVE the go-go dancers
I was 5yrs old but would hear my brother jam on his drums to this when he was 15 ..killer song
Powerful stuff. Love the Era. I'm so glad God allowed me to pass this way during that period in history.
Just saw Vanilla Fudge perform at Abbey Road on the River annual Beatles festival in Jeffersonville, Ind.
They sounded fantastic! They've still got it.
Straordinari....guardare Carmine Appice e' pura meraviglia x gli occhi...un batterista mostruoso👍🙏
another era, raw classic......one of the best blue eyed soul groups of that time...with a bit of psychedelia...
Um baterista e um baixista absolutamente insanos!
I pretended to be one of the go go dancers!
Is that actually you on the right, Lara Parker?, striking resemblance.
I was one.. Honestly!
stillsticky which one were you?
A truly amazing band 🎶 from a truly amazing time ⏳
One of the greatest covers in rock history if not the greatest! Such emotion and power!
I prefer this version
Yes much better tan the Supremes version
I'd give up ten years of my life if I could go back and watch this happening live
It's very surreal to have someone from the big band era introducing this.
According to Wikipedia as of April 3rd 2022, he is still alive at 100.
I would give lefty for a HQ HD copy of this video. Amazing performance on the verge of being lost to time.
MIke Kline Totally!!
Una verdadera joya del rock psicodélico.
i sang in band with tim bogart playing bass when he taught at MI in hollwood,ca, that was a wild moment in my life , and the song was "heard it thru grapevine," Tim had so much positive energy (1988) such a rocker ,nice guy, very inspiring, i remember ! this is a great video!! thanks!
Excellent musicians !!! Bravo.
far out even for the 60's ..love it
What do you mean. The 60s were FAR OUT and ended in 72.
One of the best collections of early psycadelic music I have ever listened too...
Mini skirts, white go-go boots, acid and and great songs of the 60's. I'm glad I lived them.
I saw them in the late 60's opening for the BJs along with Spanky and Our Gang. When they did "Keep me hanging on" the crowd just erupted. They stole the show that night.
Yepaaaaaaa rocknroll hermanos,hasta la tumba😊 que el eco de nuestros corazones queden para siempre en el espacio.
Two things. 1. They actually played the song and didn't lip sync it to a record like so many other groups did for TV in that era. 2. OMG! I forgot all about White Go-Go boots!
This was heavy back in the day but it had soul that rocked your young ass that I still feel today!
the boys were kicking @ss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and that's alright because......................... the @ss they were kicking was "convention's"
Love it, Love it!

Love how Carmen hits that cymbal on the twirl up stroke..

"Nah, it was dumber than that, it was something like.... Rex?"
"Shoot him, Tex."
"TEX!"
