Most underrated band of the second half of the 20th century, IMO
Sounds great!
Very nice to see Del Ramos doing justice to his late brother Larry's lead vocal in Never My Love. I've never grown tired of that song ever since first hearing it in 1967 as a 10 year old kid. It is the greatest love song ever written and performed. The Association's 1967 performance of this song on The Ed Sullivan Show is a masterful performance, with Larry looking at cool as ever in his turtleneck and goatee. Sorely missed.
I'll make sure to pass this along to Del (he's my dad). I'm sure it'll mean the world to him that you think so. I know we and the entire group miss my Uncle Larry very much!
@@BeauRamos Beau, thank you very much for those kind words! All the best to your Dad!
Yep, I was 10 years old too....yep, Ed Sullivan....The Smothers Bros
R.I.P. Terry Kirkman. The Association have influenced so many of us.
I saw them today in person. They were quite wonderful, and their harmony was outstanding.
I saw them when i was a teen,they played at Elithes garden in Denver.The sunrays,Frankie Valli,Sam the Sham also played.The Association is one of the most underrated bands of all time.Their songs never get old..
These guys are nothing short of amazing ! No matter their age, how can a band get this tight both musically and vocally ? All those harmonies...moving around, not staying on one note. WOW
I was watching this for the first time in months, and as soon as Windy started, my heater kicked on. When it does, you feel a little gush of "wind." I'm easily amused, perhaps.
I teared up at "Everything That Touches You". What a pleasure to hear them do it live. :o)
Such a pretty song
I’ve been in love with “ETTY” since I was a child…such a beautiful song🥹❤️
Man, these guys still have great harmony! What a refreshing, unique sound these guys had and have! One of the top pop/rock bands during an era of great pop/rock bands.
"Cherish" reminds me of 7th grade. Lovely song and harmonies. I had the 45 record.
How do they do it? It is 50 years later and they still sound great. Anyone criticizing their singing has no idea about what it means to get older or what it means for the vocal chords to age. This is not a mediocre performance. Considering their age, this is a miracle. They sound fantastic.
So happy to see this, thanks for posting. I've had the pleasure of seeing them a couple of times over the past few years, they even did a free meet and greet after one show, very cool to speak with them and have them sign a photo. Count me among those who are very grateful for their still being around after 50+ years, in any iteration. I should sound so good when I'm their age! They're out there making people happy with this wonderful music. If it's not your thing - so be it, don't hate. Go home and hug your teddy bear.
They're still great.
I came here looking to see who was left of the band and how they were doing, NOT TO RIP THEM FOR HAVING VOCALS THAT ARE NOT LIKE THEY HAD 50 Years AGO! Nothing bothers me more than people that criticize others for getting old! Thank you for the great upload and shared memories. Some great music there. Miss those years like the DIckens!
Completely agree. Geez... Considering the number of years which have elapsed, they sound great!! Love their harmonies!
Just by referencing "Dick" as a word, in a phrase, or someone's name is a dead give away of your geezer-ness. ; )
Here's one of the best live performances by them or anyone for that matter. ruclips.net/video/qwxhyPdEYxQ/видео.html
I am 34 and would love to see these legends in Seattle whilst still time. Awsome music.
Marco Deo I know! It’s had to tell.
I hear them and I'm back in high school. No time machine needed, just their wonderful songs bringing it all back. The young folks of today missed all of this. Listening to them on the radio in the background of our lives. This brings it all back. I'm bathed over with happiness.
I wish so much they would come to my area to perform. Sound wonderful...
Love that you guys are still making music.
The Association always rules.
I remember the group back in the 60's one of my favorite groups super harmonies keep ur music alive.
How many bands can boast performing for over 50 years? Thanks for the music and all the memories growing up with all your hits. I used to know all the words to your songs and would sing them as loud as I could.
SOUNDS PRETTY DAMN GOOD FOR A CRAPPY MOBILE PHONE RECORDING, WELL DONE GENTS
I miss them all! I miss those years! I miss my mother! I miss my dad! I miss my brother! I miss Elvis! I miss teal music! Hell....I miss everything! Can we go back now Lord? I promise next time Lord, I'll really raise hell!
Brian, I am going to tell you something that is going to piss u off. I am seeing the Association Saturday night, with Three Dog Night, The Cowsills, and another older artist. I can't wait to relive these BEAUTIFUL songs that melted our hearts. There are NO songs, music today, current music. It's ok Country, Rapp and wierd shit. This willbe a great show 🙆♂️
saw them one month ago with 3 original members and one who is the son of an original member. They did a great job. I would pay to see them again.
I remember this band as a kid growing up to their songs when I hear them it takes me back wow true talent never dies these guys are still AWESOME
Damn. They’re really really really good.
They have to be partly angelic beings. Such awesome talent.
One of the first concerts I ever saw was this band, in (I think) 1972. Their Greatest Hits LP was one of the first records I ever bought for myself. Great memories (and still great music!). Thanks for posting!
Yes, Classic rock from an awesome band! They still perform their hits very well. Go see them live!
OK, a double comment from me. Thanks so much for posting this, Douglas!!! I got up from the couch and listened to this with my headphones. The harmonies are gorgeous!! The Association was one of my two favorite groups in the 60's ( the BYRDS being the other). I'm SO AMAZED that with Jim Yester and Jules Alexander being close to, if not in their 70's the vocal and instrumental quality is still great!! WOW!!! This video actually captures the repartee the Association of the 60's and early 70's ALWAYS had with their audience. Unlike some groups who just stand on the stage play, an Association concert was/is one of CONNECTION!! Again, many thanks for posting!!!!!
I saw them today . Their harmony was outstanding. I remember many of their songs.
We saw them in concert last week in canton Ohio. Amazing! They still have it. Very talented. Thanks for posting.
Love the montage....and Jordan is playing a flute or piccolo, rather than just the keyboards. This 2017 group is actually getting BETTER!!! Used to wince with some of the recent groups but, WOW!!!
tantraman10 I've seen some horrible performances by this band over the past fee years. I vuess it was bad luck on the clips I watched because this is absolutely flawless.
I grew up listening to this band!!! I was born when they formed and my parents listen to them, so did I.....very cool!
i was only 4 yrs old in 1967 but i remember their songs
Me too.
They sound great!
Wonderful video of a fine performance. They never fail to delight!! Been a fan since the first lp on Valiant! Catch them in concert every time they play within 100 miles of the Bay Area.
How many original members?
These guys are brilliant. Always were and always will be. Great vocal arrangements and harmonies.
Fantastic!!!!!💜💙💚💛❤
They still sound like the Association/
This is great. I love groups like this who have catchy, upbeat songs and great vocal harmonies. Cheers!
These guys may be the proverbial "Rockers with Walkers" but they're still rockin'. Can you even START to imagine Lady Gaga or Katy Perry doing shows 50 years from now?
Scott,
How about Miley Cyrus or the Dixie Chicks fifty years from now? Oy vey!!!
@@kensellers4082 The Chicks are going strong after 32 years. Why does everything have to be a comparison or a competition? Many bands from the 60s couldn't hack it today and many of today's artists will be around in 50 years.

I guess you had to live during the 1960s to experience all of these truly superb groups like The Association, but thankfully we have You Tube to appreciate and enjoy all of these legendary greats of Rock & Roll.
Still as good as ever...brings back some great memories.....well done you guys xx
They sings and plays as good as they did before .💖💖💖
Thanks for posting! Had no idea the guys were still performing. So cool to see and hear them again. And they still sound good!!
Classic
That was great! Thank you so much for sharing!
Anyone who wants to negatively comment on how the band sounds now first I'll say this. They still can play well and harmonize together after all these years. Plus I don't think their sound man is very good they needed to tweak the sound to fit the venue better imo.
Sound man’s name is GoPro
One of my most favourite bands of that era.
That is strange. I discovered The Association in 2017 via their `birthday´album and find it musically and artisticly as good as The Beatles and The Beechboys at that time. Now (2021) I discoverd that they played songs from the ´birthday´ album still in 2017....
I miss Terry Kirkman and his recorder.
Me too.
Thanks SO MUCH for posting this great event, I was not able to attend their recent performance in Buffalo. I disagree with those who said they're "off" and unpracticed... it would be impossible to reproduce their studio sound live, so I'm glad they kept it natural and real. Certainly a favorite group ... and favorite songs of all-time!
Love you guys---im way older than dirt as well---Ive always CHERISHED you---looks like someone recorded you on their phone.
The Association Elite vocal band from the 60s. Smooth as silk. R.I.P ... Larry Ramos and Terry Kirkland
They're as good as they ever were, no question about it. That scratching in the right channel is driving me up the wall, however - what the hell IS that?!?
Awesome :) great Band
Thanks for posting! 👍
Their songs made the movie "Goodbye, Columbus" all that much better.
Yes, I think Jim, Larry and Terry wriote three outstanding songs for that film: “Goodbye, Columbus, “It’s Gotta Be Real,” and “So Kind To Me,” respectively.
@@kensellers4082 I've only ever heard them do GC at concerts.
Come to Seattle please. Am 34 and grew up with you on dad's records.
GOtta give Del credit for really improving on bass. The studio version "Everything That Touches You" had an outrageously difficult bass line (Joe Osborne) in the intro and Del nails it.
Chuck you're right. I saw them aboiu 10 or 12 years ago and walked out halfway through. It was very sad. They sound much better now.
about
Oh wow! I'll make sure to pass this comment along to him! (He's my dad!)
@@BeauRamos Awesome!!!
It's been over 50 years since this band started and yes only 2 orig members. So what, no band sounds the same after all these years, especially live. Listen to the old tunes and enjoy them while you can. Plenty of old rockers on tour and their voices aren't what they used to be (Mike Love Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, Elton John, John Sebastian Lovin Spoonful, etc.)
I still sing some of these songs.
Jules will be 74 in a few days Jim will be 78 in November
My 2nd concert 1969
Wishing they would get together again and come to New York to sing to me
@@MrLucrativethought
Yes, at the Wollman skating rink in Central Park. They played there 49 years ago during the Schaefer Music Festival.
I love ❤️ ❤️ love these guys. Does anybody knows if there ever will be another reunited Them together again ?
Only 5 surviving members left (Brian Cole and Larry Ramos passed away).
I love this!! I can feel the hair on my head growing back! Question though...if this concert was done in 2017, Wikipedia claims that Larry Ramos passed away in 2014, and that he was with the band from the beginning. But he was on this video, if this was on 2017, and Jim clearly stated he was only with the band since 1972. Can anyone clarify these 2 thing? Thanks!
I started to answer, and my computer took a nap. This is Del, Larry's brother. He served in various roles with the band all those years, but only in recent years did he become a front-line player
Oui!!.
There Sell Buy date Is up Sadly. Best Retire.
There, Wolf. There, Castle.
Who is still original?
Where is Terry Kirkman.
He retired from the music industry in 1984
me encanta
What's the song they're singing at 3:25 ? I thought I had all their records, but either I'm getting old age in the brain or I don't recognise that one.
It`s called "kicking the gong around"
from the waterbeds in Trinidad album
@@justinwyand-brooks
The band sounded great playing that song in concert with Terry Kirkman on saxophone and the late Richard Thompson on trumpet.
They sounded like Chicago or Blood Sweat & Tears with that cool jazz/rock arrangement.
The "patter" or talk between numbers around the 10 minute mark onward is a bit muddy & difficult to understand. Is there a script for this? What jokes I could hear were great ... any fill-in?
Lovin’ Jim Yester.... why is the audio so bad??? Can’t hear it properly......
I don’t know why the sound of the video is so low
I'm guessing the PA speakers are at the side of the room. The camera is facing the group so it's mike is picking up the stage amplification more than the voices.
The vocals are not the problem here it's the sound man and equipment. I've been to that theater before to see Tower Ofz Power and if you don't bring your own shit, you have to put up with the house shit. Austin, Texas is one of the worst places to play, very unprofessional sound men ect. and they don't know what they SHOULD be doing for the acts coming through town.
superb
Del's bass playing has really improved. "Everything That Touches You" has a pretty tough intro to play - originally by Joe Osborne - and Del nailed it!
No doubt "The Wrecking Crew" was involved in some of their tracks back then. But I always appreciated their musicianship. Much better than most of that era.
@@nealbfinn - Can't swear to this, it was so long ago, but I think they played on their second album, but their 1st, 3rd, and 4th were mainly studio musos. And then, of course, I could be thinking of something else entirely!
Jules and Jim are the only 2 original members on stage here, I think.
I believe that you are right. It would be fantastic if we could go back in time and see the bands with all their original members. Unforunately, we can't. Personally, I never saw very many of these original big 60's groups live back in the day. The bands today are, understandably, a mixture of original and replacement artists. I feel that it is both fun and a privilage to see these bands perform live today - regardless of the mix of original and newer musicians.
Yes. Not really The Association - how could it be? Still I'm happy for them.
get the records out.
Dont get married
@18:19 are they divorced yet?
Too much talking.
No
2017? Musta been one original member left, although they were a straight up fabrication from the beginning. The music was written and performed by The Wrecking Crew before the vocal line-up was decided. And after the first couple minutes of this, wtf, they couldn't even hire a talented lineup, where is the barf bag. Their stuff, the studio versions, is great in spite of the pedestrian MOR singing and shoulda been left alone, like an Indian burial ground. To stir up those old bones with untalented slugs is predictably onerous. Preparation H works well, too, if you need it, I wouldn't know. ruclips.net/channel/UCDmniabgycBwaN_v2Rj_HtQ
SAD , very sad . why do they bother . Nothing like they used to be
Well, yes the're not exactly like they used to be. I'm not like I used to be either - and neither are you! :) When you see bands or singers that have survived multiple decades of performing live, you can't expect them to perform identicaly to their studio work of many years ago. Band members come and go. Some pass away. Everyone's voice changes. They loose dynamic range. But I have seen The Association multiple times over the years. The still put their heart into it. And I,for one, still love seeing them perform live. To each their own I guess.
So , they should pack it in !
But 100 percent better than any Justin Bieber concert !
Mike Gretch dude, u don't need to go see them. What's with the hate?
Lots of people will pay for the trip done memory lane. Nothing wing with that
You'll be fortunate to be alive at the age they are with all the hate stuffing inside you. Go watch a kiddie video.
hilarious watching them concentrate on singing/playing...I know the feeling
