I'm 70, one night I was drivng around in my 62 Buick with friends with this song on the 8 Track. I was so into it I made a stop at a Green Light as if it was Red. My friends got a laugh about my devotion to such a Cool Recording !
I am 78 years young, memories come flooding back dancing to this track in the Bournemouth Discos. I also still have a mint LP purchased in Jersey C.I. circa 1971
@@langers4321 hey now thanks for getting back in contact. I'm just having a bad toothaches you know a bunch and I've had them for a long time and that's I just deal with it. But I'm lucky and you're lucky is really need to hear somebody had a success story and I'm not sure how mine's working lately cuz they sold my house last year at auction and I'm trying to figure out how to save the thing. So I've been listening to music all morning and just grooving on stuff that other people do and trying to figure out you know some angles of how to keep the government from winning and keep my head up and and my freak flag flying and the rest of that stuff you know and a good attitude is is the first part that makes it all work I guess so thank you sir for calling back and or texting back and look forward to talking with you. Hope you have a great day. I'm heading to the big city of Everett and I'm going to go in and try to do a pro bono emotions to suppress the illegal sale of my home. So any feedback or any kind of input you might be able to have would be great. I'm located in Arlington, Washington, Snohomish county and it's been a real trying issue. I had thought I had $62,000 Grant money awarded to me and they wouldn't accept the word letter and went ahead and sold my house last year. Now the person's trying to come and take it this weekend and it's it's heartbreaking. I don't know if I'm going to make it screw it or not in one piece. But I'm praying with a good Lord in heaven and I do and all the rockers out there show that fist in here and shake one for the crew man cuz we're going to need it. Peace out brother. Have a very good day. Talk to you soon
Back in time... absolutely fantastic sound quality music. One favourite artist, Masterpiece. Always, Anytime, Anywhere. Enjoy life with RARE EARTH. I am 70 years old. 2023.
I'm 70 years old, Tangier 1970, We had the album in alla our parties, 20 minutes dancing non stop...Rock and Blues , and books, that was our best food. Enjoy life my friends
I'm 69 and I never left this period of my life experience I just added to it and what a life it has been for everyone out there add do not subtract from your life. Peace
Does anyone know of an online course on how to be old!? Am having issues acting my age at 70,, still doing de robot and de water sprinkler to this AWESOME song, listen to ROCKS steady beat!!!! ❤❤
I hope you folks are having a good one this evening. And nephew passed away I'm celebrating his life my playing the music I made him listen to. Rest easy Junior you're on the home stretch
I won a dance contest in 1970 in the Bronx, NY with a girl I had just met on the long LP version. I asked her to stay in one spot and I danced around her. I gave her the trophy and I took the cash. Those were the days. Thanks for sharing....

LOVE THIS!!! Im 62 now an still and always will love this music. Flashbacks listening to this album in my room with my black light posters on my wall and my lava lamp on and just laying back on my bed with a smile on my face and takin the best journey in my head to the beautiful sounds. thanks for putting this out for all of us youngsters to enjoy over and over again, and yes im 62 but its just a number : ) peace love and rare earth baby!!!
I'm 68 an still living this cut, got my 15 year old granddaughter listening to my music an lov8ng this song, she says grandpa I hope this kind of music never dies, peace!

Bought this double album in 1970. Saw them in concert in 1971. I'm a drummer of 50 years at 63 yrs. of age. I still play and will until I'm called home. Rock and roll is a way of life, just like a football player or a great chef. It's what you do and if you're good enough, you can do it until you die. Pete Reveria, you work it right on that double bass.
I BELIEVE THAT I WAS AROUND 9 YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS, YES, I WAS VERY YOUNG AND REBELLIOUS WAS ALREADY EXPERIMENTING WITH THAT NON HABIT FORMING MARIJUANA AND THIS AND IRON BUTTERFLY WERE THE GREATEST TO ME.THAT WAS I BELIEVE 1968-69
This was not a double album in 1969, what are you talking about? The long version Get Ready was the 'B' side of a single vinyl album. Plus there was the edited shorter 7" single as well. I have both. Cheers, DAVEDJ !
@@Multi1628 Sorry Dave. WRONG! Rare Earth put out a double album that was LIVE! It had all the hits and a long version of Get Ready complete with Eddie Guzman on percussion along with Rivera on drums and singing lead. It came out in 1971 along with a full USA tour. Adios from Texas!!
@@austinteutsch The fact that we're chatting it up as the great piece of history it is... nearly 52 years later is the proof of it's life value. In 152 years this will still be out there and valued. Todays produced/packaged/pablum, not so much. I will always cherish the memories of playing this in my first 'working' band in 1973 up in the Midwest. The double live album will show up now that it's been mentioned so let's just enjoy the fact that there are SEVERAL live recordings of them out there to continue to play along with. Reconnecting to all of my old music during the Covid lock-down has been a blessing to my fingers & ears. My current band will be getting back out there in January & I'm pushing to do this song because it's fucking relevant again! "Love The one Your With" might also be a good one to add! This era's music will live on with loving care.
Im 60 yrs old and I still discover this music i grew up on this is when they played their own instruments and just straight out jamming and people actually got along Now going backwards love everyone America dont be brain washed think for yourselves
Norfolk Scope. Norfolk, Virginia. Summer of 1973. Manhattans were the opening act followed by Mandrill. Rare Earth was the main attraction. The band, in particular, the drummer went so berserk they had to flash the lights off and on to finally get them to leave the stage!!! As a 15 year old kid from Boston visiting Virginia for the very first time? Let's just say the experience had a lasting effect on me
@@alexandrecampina3707 They nailed the hell out of it , this one of the highlights of my youth @ 20 and now I'm a senior citizen and this era is gone !! Its kind of sad.
My sister and brother in law gave me the Rare Earth double live album for Christmas when I ws twelve. Still have it as well as several other classic albums they gave me over the years. Thanks sis for exposing me to so much good music over the years.
Años 60-70-80 y los 90s,se hizo todo en cuanto a Rock,nada se puede comparar con lo que pasa en la actualidad. Fue y seguirá siendo así, simplemente lo mejor del Rock mundial., gracias por este hermoso tema y muchos otros.
I loved this band, takes me back to my youth. I remember thinking I have my whole life ahead .Never a better time & never felt better. Dancing & carrying on. I'm 67 now. Where'd the time go!🤯
It brings me back to Frisco in 1969. Was sent to study instead I hang out with Santana living in my backyard. Those were my happy days at Golden State Park and Cliff House. Tripping every single day. Sunshine of course were my favorite 💓😍😊
It is April 2022, and I am 68 years old. This brings back great memories. I heard this one when the album was released, and I was really into the instrumental solos of groups like Rare Earth and Iron Butterfly, to name two. Our FM station would play entire songs as well as albums. Of course, now we can stream anything, anytime!
I used to own that Iron Butterfly album and my sister owned this Rare Earth album. But a song taking up one side of a 33-1/3 album was something artists did back in the day. I had Don McLean's American Pie album, which I still think is his best stuff. On the B side he had Vincent, The Spirit of Fatima, Empty Chairs and Babylon. I LOVED that album.
Hola soy de Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱 Tengo 64 años , y con la emoción a flor de piel con este temazo Rockero, que disfrute en mi juventud, ahora y por siempre ☺️😍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
This album was one of 4 cassette tapes that became the soundtrack of a fabulous road trip to New Orleans in 1972. I feel 19 again, every time I hear it. Watching the record spin reminds me of what a ritual it was to get a new album and read every word on it, locking the lyrics in forever.
I am turning 80 years old, and I still enjoy listing to this music. Brings back great memories of the past. Love you all who listen to this great music.
I lived in the Rare Earth musical days and It was a great experience. I was lucky enough to see the band with Peter Horrelbeck as drummer and lead vocalist. He was a huge part of the groups iconic status. They were incredible.
THANK YOU RUclips FOR THIS ALBUM GREAT MEMORIES I ONCE OWNED THIS ALBUM MANY DECADES AGO, WELL I'M IN MY 70 TIVES AND STILL TRYING TO HARNESS THE PAST A LONE THANK YOU , GREAT YEARS THANKS AGAIN . ✌ ☮.
I'm 60 and used to dance to this song for the entire length of it. my dad would play it on the organ and brother on the drums. childhood memories are what keeps young! Thank you!!
...there is something so simple and soothing as watching a turntable rotate about. Oh yes, growing up in Detroit in the 50s and 60s meant great ,music 24/7.Epic.
I have the same age as you i'm alwayas young to be listening to this best music since 1984 when ihave 20 years old !?... Thanks from Constantine algeria.
Не зря группа называлась,,Редкая Земля,,.В СССР её редко кто слышал.А так великолепная музыка,этой группой часто заряжаюсь по утрам,когда делаю гимнастику.Жаль,что не многие понимают такую оригинальную группу.Большой респект.
По моему опыту, часто это люди, которые забыли, что принесла холодная война, боль, страх, тревогу, ужас, и всегда при нажатии кнопки нам говорили, что все закончится, теперь у нас другое время.
Soy musico y toco en una banda, con un formato similar a este supergrupo, donde solemos salirnos del libreto e improvisar mucho. Este grupo fue uno de quienes más influyeron en nuestro sonido. Una joya fonográfica. ¡Larga vida al rock!
I'm listening to this right now. I'm 71 years old and still listen to this music. Santana, BTO, CHICAGO, My favorite is R & B. THE DELLS, CHILITES, ORIGINALS , STYLISTICS, FOUR TOPS. I COULD GO ON. WHY NOT GREW UP WITH IT. 😂👍🏻❤❤❤
In 2 months I turn 62, and I'm so grateful I grew up in the era I did with the great music we all had. to this day when I listen to any of the songs from back in the late 60's to 70's I am transported back in time and wish I had a time machine to go back.Truly!! This song was one of them that got me going! Look out baby!!! Get ready!!!! Ooooohhhhhhhhhh..... sing it baby...
Peggy, please take me with you in your time machine. Like you, I grew up in the wrong era and missed all of the GREAT music. Then it was music, now it is just noise pollution.
I happened to be drumming for over 6 decades,played alot of venues, Played with lot's Of musicians of All walks of life, Styles, cultures. Peter riveria is One of the lead Drummers and Singer on here Who inspired me very much! David parodi
My then girlfriend bought tickets for the early 1972 Rare Earth Tour concert at the Charleston Gilliard Auditorium. I didn't expect much because I was used to Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Alice Cooper, The Who, et. al, and Rare Earth was more of a top 40 genre. But I have to say that they gave one of the best concerts ever! I believe Gil Bridges was their saxophonist that played two saxophones simultaneously that night. These Detroit Rockers earned my respect forever!!!
Que música Dios mío!!! Tengo 65 años y todavía sigo disfrutando de esta linda música. Gracias por mostrarlo. Desde Chile un abrazo fraterno para mis hermanos americanos y a todos que gustan de estas lindas melodías.
Oh!! Your so right my friend, music is a time machine because every time I listen to my classic rock music I slip away into the past. What a shame now the junk they call music in 2020.
Aug 69. When you start seeing the musical notes dance out of the speakers in assorted colors and keeping the beat let me know. i watched the music dance for the entire Beatles White Album. A 1/4 tab lasted for three days.
You are of a generation of really intelligent high tech human beings, our DNA is changing for the better, and you will change the world for sure.I am so stoked that you love this masterpiece, Kudos to you and your loving folks, Stay smart and safe everyone, it aint over yet , oh well...Peace...
I am 64 too , I saw them in Texas A&M Auditorium, Bryan in 1972, never forget such a great experience from the best sound I ever heard in my life, those were the best times
Todays music will never compare to the music of the 60s, 70s .No crap rap, bullshit back then, just solid true to the soul and heart music.The O'jays, Commodores,The Four Tops,Sly and The Family Stone, The Stones, The Doors,Pink Floyd, Hendrix, you can go on forever!!!
We formed a band in high school because of these guys and the music they put out. I was the lead singer and we started every party we played at with 'Get Ready!'
It was 1970, Tabb Intermediate school, Hampton, Va. My best friend played this drum routine at assymbly, the whole school was mesmerized I'm 68 now and still remember it as it was yesterday. It was,awesome then and now...
I have been trying to tell people...this is the best Get Ready, but they won't let go of the Temptations, which I love but you just have to give it up to this group. My brother played it so much I had no choice but to fall in love with it.I was 10 years old and I am 60 years old and still listening and loving me some Rare Earth. 💯🤷🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️
@@blueeyedfox2009 and besides the temps weren't songwriters or a proper band per se though in the 70s they moved away from the Motown formula; whereas rare earth was a gruff n heavy r&b band that leaned heavily on rock and psychedelia. Rare earth wins the get ready war fo sho.
This song converted me to rock and roll in the early seventies! The first time I heard this was on the car radio of some guy training me on door to door selling as we were going to our next appointment. My jaw dropped open! Wow! Believe it or not, it was after catching up on all the rock I had been missing in my early life, I found out about the Beatles after...they had broken up. The drum at the end is just fantastic. The audience cheering in the background, just incredible! Glad it's here on RUclips.
One of the best songs ever. Sax solo, drum solo, this whole song rocks every time I listen to it. I will be 70 this year, but only as old as you feel. This song turns back the clock a bit.
My friend is an audio engineer and I had him setup up my stereo system in the house and he needed a song to check the sound and I said "I have the right one" and when the first note played I just turned it up all the way and I opened the front door and raised all the windows closed the phone and we sat in the backyard. I closed my eyes and with my hands behind my head and sailed away in through the outdoor.
I agree with 'walterhoward1554. I am also 73 and am truly glad for the opportunity to listen to great music during the late 60s and early 70s. It had been a while since I had listened to Rare Earth and had forgotten this performance. All talented musicians! What a treat to listen once again!
Can you imagine it's 1971 and you're ridin around with your friends jammin to Blind Faith,Cream,Joe Cocker,The Mamas & The Papas,Alvin Lee & Ten Years After,Rare Earth,3 Dog Night,Sugarloaf,Jimi Hendrix,Jefferson Airplane,Fleetwood Mac (Hypnotized),Free,Humble Pie,Grand Funk Railroad,Eric Burdon & War,Traffic,Chicago,Steppenwolf,The Allman Brothers Band,Iron Butterfly,The Rolling Stones....etc
Whoosh! I didn't realize what a rush this would be when I selected it on RUclips! Time machine to a very different world and mood. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Vietnam War veteran. Still rocking Chu Lai and all of I Corps in my mind. So sad I can't get hold of some good Cambodian Red. The music would sound so much better.

@@megaalvon3060 l'm 63 and I heard this wonderful piece of music for the first time when I was 15 years old. Let's "Get Ready" and dance💃🕺✌
My sister and brother in law gave me the Rare Earth double live album for Christmas when I ws twelve. Still have it as well as several other classic albums they gave me over the years. Thanks sis for exposing me to so much good music over the years.
Años 60-70-80 y los 90s,se hizo todo en cuanto a Rock,nada se puede comparar con lo que pasa en la actualidad. Fue y seguirá siendo así, simplemente lo mejor del Rock mundial., gracias por este hermoso tema y muchos otros.
❤❤❤❤
I loved this band, takes me back to my youth. I remember thinking I have my whole life ahead .Never a better time & never felt better. Dancing & carrying on. I'm 67 now. Where'd the time go!🤯
I known...God bless you and the whole generation!
Débora Terndrup. 🙋🏻.Si...Exactamente igual ..palabra por palabra . 🕺

special song... i was only 5 years, a small kid. Those drums sounds great, that saxophone, that bass riff! Those were the times ...fantastic
It brings me back to Frisco in 1969. Was sent to study instead I hang out with Santana living in my backyard. Those were my happy days at Golden State Park and Cliff House. Tripping every single day. Sunshine of course were my favorite 💓😍😊
En ese año estaba yo naciendo. Pero creo que ya lo traía bajo el brazo. Me facinas está obra de arte.❤🎉
Timeless , I’m 60 and this brings back some awesome memories, of how music used to be
Put on your head phones, close your eyes and enjoy this musical masterpiece
Just did...what great 👍 👏 memories.
So did I!
Masterpiece doesn’t even capture how great this is!
Exacto .
Sin palabras.
I'm goig to do IT right now!!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I am 69 and can't stop listening this masterpiece.memories of these happy years.
Cette musique me rappelle mon enfance en 71. Inoubliable en 2023.
Tout à fait d'accord avec ce point.
It is April 2022, and I am 68 years old. This brings back great memories. I heard this one when the album was released, and I was really into the instrumental solos of groups like Rare Earth and Iron Butterfly, to name two. Our FM station would play entire songs as well as albums. Of course, now we can stream anything, anytime!
Good old day's my friend. I'm 71 and remember this as if happened today. Love this and Iron Butterfly. Much happy memories!
Ahhhh, Rare Earth brings back many memories
But I'm 66 yet
Right on, Donna. Just turned 67 this month and I used to blast the 45 thru my Fender guitar amp for the neighborhood out my bedroom window! Thanks.
I used to own that Iron Butterfly album and my sister owned this Rare Earth album. But a song taking up one side of a 33-1/3 album was something artists did back in the day. I had Don McLean's American Pie album, which I still think is his best stuff. On the B side he had Vincent, The Spirit of Fatima, Empty Chairs and Babylon. I LOVED that album.
Hola soy de Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱
Tengo 64 años , y con la emoción a flor de piel con este temazo Rockero, que disfrute en mi juventud, ahora y por siempre ☺️😍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hola yo tengo 63 años y siento la misma emoción de aquellos años maravillosos r inolvidables
@MARIA FIJATE QUE ESA MUSICA FUE EL PRINSIPIO DE MI PUBERTAD I ESTARA EN MI PARA SIEMPRE SALUDES .EL ROCK NO MORIRA
Saludos Anita Solis.
Brother.,ya it doesn't get any better than this!!! 67 myself sound like it was done yesterday!! Peace ✌ out my friend!!
Hola igual. Tengo tu edad y esta música lo escuchamos cuando púbers ya para adolescentes. Saludos desde Lima Perú🎸🎼🎵🎶
This album was one of 4 cassette tapes that became the soundtrack of a fabulous road trip to New Orleans in 1972. I feel 19 again, every time I hear it. Watching the record spin reminds me of what a ritual it was to get a new album and read every word on it, locking the lyrics in forever.
Fue y será la megor música de la historia de los años 60 to 70 o
Es correcto tenia 20 años. Maravillosos recuerdos. Únicos años d oro no hay más se puede vailar y escuchar q años
Started buying vinyl again a few years ago. I might have to get this classic soon 🔜

I am turning 80 years old, and I still enjoy listing to this music. Brings back great memories of the past. Love you all who listen to this great music.
Bass solo is amazing and way ahead of its time.
I saw Rare Earth live at Madison Square Garden. They opened for Sly and The Family Stone. When I realized the drummer was the singer I was blown away.
Beautiful song ❤️🤍Hello from Scotland🏴How are you doing today? I hope it's been a great year so far?
Le meilleur morceau de tous les temps, j'avais 22 ans en 1970 et aujourd'hui en janvier 2023 à 75 ans je continue à l'adorer
So was I great great band ❤❤❤
Moi aussi, j'avais 16
❤
Moi aussi, c'était les vacances à Juan les Pins. Belle époque
Give that drummer some. In fact, let him have it all. This is classic rock music. One and only Rare Earth
I lived in the Rare Earth musical days and It was a great experience. I was lucky enough to see the band with Peter Horrelbeck as drummer and lead vocalist. He was a huge part of the groups iconic status. They were incredible.
Heard this version for the first time today. I'm 50 years old. This is just great. It takes new music and kicks it to the curb.
First time ? 😱
@@sjefhendrickx2257 51 years ago I have listened ..!
Real I'm 69 welcome to the club
They better get ready here we come
Me! Remember them on T.O.T.P

If you haven't did so do so now
I'm 70 years old,and now I've been listening Rare Earth again and seem so actual that I would like to be back in the 70's.Thanks for bring them back.
...there is something so simple and soothing as watching a turntable rotate about. Oh yes, growing up in Detroit in the 50s and 60s meant great ,music 24/7.Epic.
I'm 59 years old and I still listen to this song. It never gets old . Thank you for sharing it
I have the same age as you i'm alwayas young to be listening to this best music since 1984 when ihave 20 years old !?...
Thanks from Constantine algeria.
Не зря группа называлась,,Редкая Земля,,.В СССР её редко кто слышал.А так великолепная музыка,этой группой часто заряжаюсь по утрам,когда делаю гимнастику.Жаль,что не многие понимают такую оригинальную группу.Большой респект.

ตอนปี พศ.2517 ได้ฟังเพลงนี้แล้วโอ้มันช่างวิเศษจริงๆ วงดนตรีสุดยอดมาก
И никто не говорит чья эта песня а ведь это великая TEMPTATION

I loved Rare Earth the first moment I heard them. This completely brings me back.
Full Version is the best.
HEY TENIAMOS UN GRUPO SE LLAMAVA...ESSOFAGO..EN EL SALVADOR .ILOPANGO...YO EJECUTAVA EL BAJO...HEY QUE LINDO..1973...
Soy musico y toco en una banda, con un formato similar a este supergrupo, donde solemos salirnos del libreto e improvisar mucho. Este grupo fue uno de quienes más influyeron en nuestro sonido. Una joya fonográfica. ¡Larga vida al rock!
Como se llama la
Banda ?
@@dulcevita9086
La banda se llama
" RARE EARTH "
I'm dead and I still love this music ;) These guys were phenomenal!
Lol

Well they probably are, But clearly you're not ,09 23 1958

THE DELLS, CHILITES, ORIGINALS ,
STYLISTICS, FOUR TOPS. I COULD GO ON. WHY NOT GREW UP WITH IT. 😂👍🏻❤❤❤
Oh shit! I am 61, but this song makes me forget that. Now Iam rocking all alone in my room.... getting in a trance , man...
:o)
Hell yeah!
@Larry M lol, right on. "Toke"
I know how U feel
In 2 months I turn 62, and I'm so grateful I grew up in the era I did with the great music we all had. to this day when I listen to any of the songs from back in the late 60's to 70's I am transported back in time and wish I had a time machine to go back.Truly!! This song was one of them that got me going! Look out baby!!! Get ready!!!! Ooooohhhhhhhhhh..... sing it baby...
Peggy, please take me with you in your time machine. Like you, I grew up in the wrong era and missed all of the GREAT music. Then it was music, now it is just noise pollution.
At 63, I hear ya little girl!
This sounds just as cool at 68 years old as it did when I first heard it at 16😎
You and me both!
💥👍🏼💥
I'm 68 and know what you mean 😂😊
Oh yeah !! ☝️. 🍃🌸🍃69 here !
I was 11 years old when I first heard this Gem. I love the jazzy intro

Super groupe des années 70 ,pour moi à ce jour 70 ans que du bonheur. Merci les gars bravo

And sang!😮

My then girlfriend bought tickets for the early 1972 Rare Earth Tour concert at the Charleston Gilliard Auditorium. I didn't expect much because I was used to Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Alice Cooper, The Who, et. al, and Rare Earth was more of a top 40 genre. But I have to say that they gave one of the best concerts ever! I believe Gil Bridges was their saxophonist that played two saxophones simultaneously that night. These Detroit Rockers earned my respect forever!!!
Dont you just love it when you get those kinds of musical surprises. I do.
Que música Dios mío!!! Tengo 65 años y todavía sigo disfrutando de esta linda música. Gracias por mostrarlo. Desde Chile un abrazo fraterno para mis hermanos americanos y a todos que gustan de estas lindas melodías.
Muito obrigado meu amigo
Oh!! Your so right my friend, music is a time machine because every time I listen to my classic rock music I slip away into the past. What a shame now the junk they call music in 2020.
69 years young and I will admit I spent many a night in an altered state listening to this one.
Me too ❤️🌹🎶🎼🎵
Me too!! What is an "altered state"??? Wasn't that the norm? It was for me!! lol
Aug 69. When you start seeing the musical notes dance out of the speakers in assorted colors and keeping the beat let me know. i watched the music dance for the entire Beatles White Album. A 1/4 tab lasted for three days.
Keep rockin brother !
Still am. It's all the same day. You have 2 years on me.
I'm a 15 year old girl, I just discovered this album thanks to my dad and I love it
Your dad is a good father
Peace on you and family ☮️
mmaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You good taste in music young lady
You are of a generation of really intelligent high tech human beings, our DNA is changing for the better, and you will change the world for sure.I am so stoked that you love this masterpiece, Kudos to you and your loving folks, Stay smart and safe everyone, it aint over yet , oh well...Peace...
@@andya857 nice post👌
After all these years, one of Rocks best songs back in day.
I'm 64 and I still have this album. Brings back memories. Thanks for sharing!!
Had this on 8-Track and played it so much that the eventual tape warble made me have to replace it.
I am 64 too , I saw them in Texas A&M Auditorium, Bryan in 1972, never forget such a great experience from the best sound I ever heard in my life, those were the best times
This year 04/2020, I am still listening. Please give your hand to those who still listen to this song as well.
Todays music will never compare to the music of the 60s, 70s .No crap rap, bullshit back then, just solid true to the soul and heart music.The O'jays, Commodores,The Four Tops,Sly and The Family Stone, The Stones, The Doors,Pink Floyd, Hendrix, you can go on forever!!!
We formed a band in high school because of these guys and the music they put out. I was the lead singer and we started every party we played at with 'Get Ready!'
Us to.
I'm still listening. Love this track.
My band we still jam this song.
Back When ... bands did something called 'jamming' and you had to see them live !
It was 1970, Tabb Intermediate school, Hampton, Va. My best friend played this drum routine at assymbly, the whole school was mesmerized I'm 68 now and still remember it as it was yesterday. It was,awesome then and now...
Hope you're still rockin it Eddie B...
And here I thought Rare Earth was just soul/Motown cover band. This is truly magnificent.
I have been trying to tell people...this is the best Get Ready, but they won't let go of the Temptations, which I love but you just have to give it up to this group. My brother played it so much I had no choice but to fall in love with it.I was 10 years old and I am 60 years old and still listening and loving me some Rare Earth. 💯🤷🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️
@@blueeyedfox2009 and besides the temps weren't songwriters or a proper band per se though in the 70s they moved away from the Motown formula; whereas rare earth was a gruff n heavy r&b band that leaned heavily on rock and psychedelia. Rare earth wins the get ready war fo sho.
@@gandalfshakur8235 for sho!💯😅.
Great song one of those songs I’ve heard hundreds of times always sounds good blows me away the drummer is singing lead vocals 👏‼️
This song converted me to rock and roll in the early seventies! The first time I heard this was on the car radio of some guy training me on door to door selling as we were going to our next appointment. My jaw dropped open! Wow! Believe it or not, it was after catching up on all the rock I had been missing in my early life, I found out about the Beatles after...they had broken up. The drum at the end is just fantastic. The audience cheering in the background, just incredible! Glad it's here on RUclips.
depends on what you call rock and roll cause this is really R&B.
Gracias.ha.todos.los.compañero.del.buen.sonidos
I never heard this version, only the 45. Where has this been hiding all my life??? 🎸🥁🎷
Whaaaat? 😱
@@sjefhendrickx2257 It's this rock I live under, things always take a few decades to catch up. By the way, have we landed on the moon yet?
How do you like it's intense it's real is no BS hits on
Same here and I’m 62. This is awesome. I only knew the radio version.
One of the best songs ever. Sax solo, drum solo, this whole song rocks every time I listen to it. I will be 70 this year, but only as old as you feel. This song turns back the clock a bit.
Bass Solo as well🎶🥁🎺🎷🌶️
I will be 70 in a couple of weeks and you are correct, this music can turn back the clock.
And bass solo
Me too
I'll be 72 in 2 month's I'll have to add to my old vintage records
My friend is an audio engineer and I had him setup up my stereo system in the house and he needed a song to check the sound and I said "I have the right one" and when the first note played I just turned it up all the way and I opened the front door and raised all the windows closed the phone and we sat in the backyard. I closed my eyes and with my hands behind my head and sailed away in through the outdoor.
They were some bad boys with there arrangements
RIGHT ON ! ✊😎
GROOVY MAN GROOVY !✌😎 CAN YOU DIG IT ! 👍😎HALLELUJAH ! 👆😎
Other than the cheesy fan noise it's a fantastically engineered record.

I agree with 'walterhoward1554. I am also 73 and am truly glad for the opportunity to listen to great music during the late 60s and early 70s. It had been a while since I had listened to Rare Earth and had forgotten this performance. All talented musicians! What a treat to listen once again!
I was 16 yrs in 1970. Rare Earth is still an inspiration🎷🎸😍
Мне было 9 лет , но меня всего плющело от удовольствия слушать Планта .
Can you imagine it's 1971 and you're ridin around with your friends jammin to Blind Faith,Cream,Joe Cocker,The Mamas & The Papas,Alvin Lee & Ten Years After,Rare Earth,3 Dog Night,Sugarloaf,Jimi Hendrix,Jefferson Airplane,Fleetwood Mac (Hypnotized),Free,Humble Pie,Grand Funk Railroad,Eric Burdon & War,Traffic,Chicago,Steppenwolf,The Allman Brothers Band,Iron Butterfly,The Rolling Stones....etc
This has been playing in my head for the past few months so I took it as a sign that I should listen to it. Haven't heard it since the 70s.
had to play it today and let it out.
I will take this as a new year gift 2021.A very old favourite. A real treat at 73.
Wwwqq
Im 61 young buck here always loved this song awesome music then and now❤
Whoosh! I didn't realize what a rush this would be when I selected it on RUclips! Time machine to a very different world and mood. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Man the temptations were icons, but rare earth made this song ICONIC!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree John. And both on Motown. I believe they were the white group ( in toto) on that label
No group can stand up the temptations... The End!!
