Damn straight! I'm right behind you at 67 and still rocking and loving it as much today as I did in the 60's and 70's. Songs like this and many others live in infamy. These guys did a great job with it. If this song doesn't get you movin' , you're probably dead. Even my kids and grandchildren love the rock and roll that I've introduced them to. Take care and rock on brother!!
This is by far the best version I've ever hurd ...gosh if I could only sing like this dude his charisma n stage act is from an entirely new fucking dimension 😮😮😮
I saw Rare Earth in Vegas 2009 outdoors at the Freemont Experience. The Summer of Love. They were one of the most of bands I have ever seen. They played this song twice. Because the promotor showed up late and she loved this song.
Not so much the equipment as much as is the talent that the artist bring, that bass could've been a Rouge and this band would've brought out the nasty funk....
Great sound; much like the original. The drummer sounds a lot like Peter Rivera, and that's a good thing! Don't know why Pete left, but it's sad to see squabbles break up a great band.
If you're from Russia tell me what you think of your country now! You're killing pregnant ladies innocent children you took down a hospital and you killed the pregnant ladies now there's no children being born innocent people father sons their mom's their grandparents the destruction that you are doing in Russia to Ukraine tell me what you think of Russia now because of what they're doing to Ukraine is not right so if you live in Russia good tell me what do you think of what your country is doing now cuz I'd love to hear your opinion

Yes they were Rare Earth, and just so you know ….. Pete left the band twice because of the same stuff he pulled that split the band the first time. When Rare Earth was at the very top of the charts, Peter had a bad case of the lead singer syndrome. He wanted the band to be called Peter Rivera and Rare Earth, and he wanted to fire some of the band members. All the guys were writing and they wanted to sing their own tunes, but Pete wasn't having it. That's just one of many things I'll share that happened. Pete froze the accounts and Rare Earth broke up, which left five men and their families without work. Litigations began and while awaiting trial over the name, it finally come to court in New York. Gil won the name of Rare Earth, and he worked all of his life doing what he loved best, making people happy with his Rare Earth. They were fantastic! They played to sold out crowds all over the world with cheering fans constantly jumping to their feet with joy for love of the music of Rare Earth. Gil was the one and only member of Rare Earth to play on every tune ever recorded, including when they were the Sunliners in the 50s and 60s, of which there were two drummers before Pete. Everyone that was ever around Gil knew that he was a kind, humble man who was one of the greatest sax players I've ever heard, and he had such a beautiful voice. He was a quiet man, but he knew that all the members of a group makes the band, not one person can stand alone. Gil's history and his legacy speaks for itself. His family reads this stuff, and we know that there are (the same) trolls posting the same ugly stuff on anything that’s uploaded regarding Gil. I ask you to refrain from negative comments. Just because he is gone, please don’t think his family won’t defend him.
Yes us old guys can rock and will forever
I'm 71 still rocking
Me too!

Always imitated, never duplicated. Some vocalists are iconic and some just cover songs
You can like or dislike one thing or another but this is still iconic.

Great sound; much like the original. The drummer sounds a lot like Peter Rivera, and that's a good thing! Don't know why Pete left, but it's sad to see squabbles break up a great band.

LYRICS / TESTO:
It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Momma just hung her head and said, son
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Papa was a rolling stone (my son, yeah)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey Momma!
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day in his life
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that
Papa had three outside children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Heard some talk Papa doing some storefront preachin'
Talking about saving souls and all the time leechin'
Dealing in dirt, and stealing in the name of the Lord
Momma just hung her head and said
Papa was a rolling stone (my son)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey Papa was a rolling stone (dad gumma it)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey Momma
I heard Papa called himself a jack-of-all-trades
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
To pay his bills
Hey Momma
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son
Papa was a rolling stone (well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone (lone, lone, lone, alone)
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
My daddy was
Papa was a rolling stone (yes he was, yeah)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home)
Big John. Enough said
👍🇧🇷👍
C.est dû lourd
Lead guitar 🎸 you got to fill the funk
Original Rare Earth Who is Still with the Band I don't see any I don't know the one with the saxo ,is from the Band or te bassist .
My Pappa is still going strong. Now 88...
🎼🎺🎻🎸🎼🎧🎺🥁🎸🎤🎷🎹
I remember Bird from school.
Can always watch ray
🤟👍🤟👍
This is video very nice but poor on volume sfo California
Blimey, dudes almost nailed it!
Is that Pete Rivera playing bass
Rare earth at the ice carafes!! And they were completely blue tooth!!
Y'all go head on with y'all's bad selves!
Who's the drummer?
stil good
I know someone who this could be his theme song.
The best so far.
I'ts my old time. Spanish
Shit these White (OLD) Guys sound better than the Original .....hows that possible ?
Couse they are original too
Twins, music has no color, it is universal.
Signed under Motown.
Прикольно....
One of my favorite white groups satisfaction guarantee get rid nice place to visit but you wouldn't want to live there
Only the Temptations do this song better.
Without Rivera this is not Rare Earth

this is far out
This song , to me is a celebration of a bad reality. Why celebrate a bad reality. Because I rose above it. Accept it as reality and move on .
Sorry guys, not rare earth.
