Thank you, Little Steven, for playing this one on The Underground Garage (the show about San Francisco). I haven't heard this one since the '60s. King tone, baby.
This is zillion times better than all the "classic" SF psych bands like the Greatful Dead and Country Joe and The FIsh who were basically overrated soft folkies. How come they are are not mentioned more frequently?

I'd never heard their version of this. My favorite is the rawer Quicksilver version, or John C, playing with Man. And it's hard to beat Buffy's version!
The drummer on this song was Dan Hicks. I suggest checking out Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. Try the song “Where’s The Money?” He and many of the people floating around him at that time were great musicians
@@leahcimolrac1477 Thanks. I knew Dan's music, with the Lick's. I so wanted to learn to play chords like he did. And somehow, I lived in SF in 1967 - and never saw the Charlatans! But I'd often see their names on the marquis, at the Straight Theater. I guess I should have sold more 'news'papers... But I got to go to Woodstock, so I got something out of those crazy days...
This photo is literally the young 20-somethings walking around towns today. I was shocked seeing this photo witht heir style; their faces and so on. I was thinking this audio may be a cover of the original song or something hahahah Oh how the style's have come back around. Time is cyclical indeed.
Me too. Very good movie. Very sad and tragic. Hillary Swank did an excellent performance as Teena Brandon/Brandon Teena. She deserved her Oscar. The whole cast was excellent. A very unfortunate way to earn it, I'm sure.
@@LittleLulubee We might have watched the same thing. I saw something that came out sometime after the movie on one of the news shows that do stories on it. It might have been when the guys were up for parole, or that might have been another story. Teena Branda was a very attractive girl. Very pretty. But I could see the masculinity in her. There is a reason and no, I am not transgender, just gay. But as Branda Teena, HE was extremely handsome. And I could see in his attitude, posture, etc., he was comfortable with who he was. Scared yes, and for good reasons, but comfortable with who he was. I just remember watching HIM and thinking how good looking he was. And he seemed nice, though young and unexperienced in his new life, which led to his death. He made bad choices. I did too. We all do. But his choices didn't deserve his vile treatment and ultimate violent death from ignorance and hate. Thanks for chatting with me. Wishing you Peace and stay safe!🙂
+fred rinne Please excuse the correction , but ; in eulogistic salutations , its a little jarring to see the deceased's name given incorrectly . Its " Dan " not " Don " . However , the sentiment is well taken : Rest in Peace .
+bjhodge8 Bad time for SF psychedelic pioneers. First Signe Toly Anderson and Paul Kantner (on the same day) and now Dan Hicks. All born 1941 and died 2016.
+mackb909 To be honest , I didn't hear . I haven't been following his later career but thought of him yesterday out of the blue . When Mr. Rinne , above , wrote RIP , I thought he may have died some time ago considering his wonderful wild attitude .
Great energy to their music...clearly they influenced many...Bod Dylan ( after listening to this) pretty much took this exact song and wrote "his song" ISIS....check it out...almost verbatum...
Great stuff. I've always thought these guys were way closer in spirit to the Lovin Spoonful than to their geographical cohorts like the Dead or the Airplane.
I understand RIPing someone, but this is about this song. Whether you take what the songwriter wrote it about or what you relate it to you in your life... it's the song you are replying on and telling others your relations to it. Add your RIP and tributes after. As a songwriter, that would be my greatest tribute from my fans. Not my memory of my death, but the songs you loved in my memory.
I'm taking the solo from this, the intro riff and some of the lyrics from the Barracudas version, and some of my own modifications to update it for modern times... I plan to record this eventually. Everyone adding their own modifications... a true folk classic
@@telequacker-9529 That sounds like it would be an awesome version. I would really love to hear it when you have finished it and either posted it OR... better yet, got a contract! If either happens, please keep us humble folk posted!😊
april koch you can't get an album coz there's none as such . However you can get 2cd compilation of their singles ,but mostly unissued tracks and demos (this is inlet booklet photo) released circa 1996 on UK Big Beat label , still in print i believe. Charlatans were original pioneers of so called Bay Area aka San Francisco sound far, far before Dead, Planes, QMS etc. They actually had had only one LP released in '69 San Francisco Charlatans but by then some of original members have gone like Dan Hicks . Btw cds are great must have so go for it ! Try amazon .
Any guitarplayers here who can help me find the right way to play this? From what i can hear it starts with D - - - - C - - - - G - F - D - - - - F - G - F - D but they seem to use other voicings of the chords. Tabs and other youtubecovers dont seem to get it right. Maybe its the vibrato effect or I am completely wrong with these chords :) would be very thankfull! ^^
Please add "I think" or "I feel" to your comment so that people won't think you're one those stupid people who express their opinions and feelings about songs as if they were anything more than subjective feelings... Just sayin.
My personal favorite interpretation of this amazing song.
I never heard of them or this song till I rewatched Boys Don't Cry.
Original ruclips.net/video/PuFjA_-A0hc/видео.html
one of the most legendary bands of the 60s, pivotal.
We, The Glass Menagerie, opened for them at Vichy Springs in Napa back in 1967.

Frederick Jordan!
@@GuitarlosCarlos Are you referring to Carl Ontis (Porkpie Phillips)? I replaced him as lead singer for The Warlachs, who morphed into The Glass Menagerie.
Are you the guys who had the 45 called Natasha?
Heard my dad sing this all my life. Had never heard the actual song before today. Love you pa
I've always thought this one should have gone to the soundtrack of "Easy Rider."
Good call!!
@@eoj2495 -- Thanks, man! This tune would have gone well with the scenes of Wyatt, Billy and George riding -- before the now-infamous campfire/UFO scene. Yeah, "If You Wanna Be a Bird" (The Holy Modal Rounders) went well with the aforementioned scene.
Right on!
@@GrimpleGromble ✊
What an awesome song, I haven't heard this since '67. The Charlatans were innovators and helped create became psychedelic music.
...Man, I sure wish I could experience the late sixties and early seventies as a young man - the most pivotal time in American history on so many levels.
I know if I had a time Machine I would go back to 1965 and live on from there
It was fun
Charlatans early mid sixties my mom took me to them at the red dog
@@DougAlderit certainly was!
This is just such a fantastic version.
Living in SF back "when" I was fortunate to see them LIVE at the AVALON BALLROOM many times. They were hardly like The Lovin' Spoonful.
Have never left you sound like you knew what was happening the Fillmore and Avalon what a trip I remember when the Avalon was gone and the Fillmore moved to the carousel and was the Fillmore West seem like an end of an era and it was the early seventies I just got out of high school
RIP Mike Wilhelm..one of the best
Thank you, Little Steven, for playing this one on The Underground Garage (the show about San Francisco). I haven't heard this one since the '60s. King tone, baby.
The most Beautiful song on this album . This song i *Mostly Like* I've been listening to her many times !
Amazing voices in background song !
Killer guitar break!
Yes. Nailed that Keith Richards early Stones echo drenched guitar tone I thought.
I just read this about Dan Hicks. Another music pioneer gone. R.I.P. Dan! You'll be missed.
And now, at this writing, Mike Wilhelm hangs by the thinnest of threads.
Boys don’t cry ❤️🔥.
Just heard of Mike Wilhelm's passing! Rest easy my friend and ty for uploading!
Think Barry Melton visited him in the hospital shortly before he passed
This songs speaks such a truth when it comes to addiction to narcotic analgesics.
Written by Buffy St Marie check out her version in 1967...makes yer belly cramp and ache
Something kind of timeless about this way early SF psyche group.
I like the simplicity that was lost a few years later.
And now look at the place!
This is zillion times better than all the "classic" SF psych bands like the Greatful Dead and Country Joe and The FIsh who were basically overrated soft folkies. How come they are are not mentioned more frequently?
Super song, so inspired by the early psychedelic magic with the cowboy persona and so many others.
boys don´t cry song
Another gem somehow overlooked, Charlatans did this song real justice, as did Quicksilver Messenger.
Playin' this back-to-back with Buffy St. Marie's original...
Original is by Buffy Sainte-Marie. Worth checking out
Buffy's version is what inspired this cover. But i love the guitar solo in this version. The Charlatans were highly underrated.
Yeah! Wilhelm's solo enhances emotionnaly the power of the words.
I love belting this out while I'm driving.
Me too, I have some cavernous places at work with great reverb as well.
MIKE WILHELM IS GONE

Tragic this song should have soared
The best version in my humble opinion 👍
Buffy St Marie does a stunning version of her own song (1967)
RIP Mike Wilhelm. And THX.
boys dont cry scene
amazing song
Good version! Too bad it's not on Spotify.
Lol

@@Mindy0328 Yeah, they did an excellent job. Such a tragedy 💔
@@LittleLulubee Have you ever seen the real Brandon Teena, out of curiosity? I watched a special about him (I call them by their gender preference.)
@@Mindy0328 I watched a documentary, The Brandon Teena story, on Amazon. They interviewed all of the people that knew him, including the girlfriend.

Great track! Thanks for posting.
The Hospital of Songs approves this song 👍
hell yes! I need me some cough medicine with good ole codine!
It's real, Lord it's real
my favorite version of this song is by the litter - distortions album
I barely heard of the Charlatans back then, but wish I had, original sound and delivery.
They sound great.
I hear Airplane and the Dead all through the music.
+Andrew Webber you mean you hear The Charlatans all through the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, these dudes predated
+otis blevins You are correct. They did come first...and I was fortunate to see them all and in that order.
The best version of this is by
Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs, on London American from 1962.
+ng pu,
jimmy gilmer &the fireballs released their rendition in 1965 not 1962,buffy sainte-marie wrote this song in 1964.
jerry stole that riff 1:10 in and perfected it .....love their boots
Pretty much nailed that Kieth Richards early Stones echo-drenched Telecaster tone I thought.
Delightfull
My favorite also tombalas. I am sure Buffy approves.
RIP Don Hicks

bjhodge8 who cares
Menopause Midge used this as a background in a video...rant. Lol! She has superb musical taste & tastes good. Lol!
Oh ok
Put on Spotify for fs sake
Does anyone know for certain that it was this version that was featured in the film "Boys Don't Cry"?
I scrolled down and got my answer. 🥰
Great energy to their music...clearly they influenced many...Bod Dylan ( after listening to this) pretty much took this exact song and wrote "his song" ISIS....check it out...almost verbatum...
You people need to hear the definitive version, by The Matthew Moore Four.
Check out Buffy Saint-Marie's version Cod'ine you'll never listen to another again...it's powerful beyond words...
..One more time.!!
Great stuff. I've always thought these guys were way closer in spirit to the Lovin Spoonful than to their geographical cohorts like the Dead or the Airplane.
Played at the Avalon
Boys Don't Cry
Wow,
Wow
For Tommy, Kit, Jimmy (my old bandmates) and their gals.
if anyone has those Menopause Videos from 2007 please load them! She deleted them and is sorry!

It sounds like a sea chanty. But they made it about drugs.
Listen to Janis Joplin's or Donovan's covers of this song.
Listen to Codine by Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs. In my opinion the best version, and also one of the best records ever made.
Any guitarplayers here who can help me find the right way to play this? From what i can hear it starts with D - - - - C - - - - G - F - D - - - - F - G - F - D but they seem to use other voicings of the chords. Tabs and other youtubecovers dont seem to get it right.
