Generally, anything by Man, particularly live albums or with live material included. Man were and weren't hippies, but about the only the place in the US that was ecstatic for them was SF. Hot Tuna, too.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 20:20 (twenty years ago)

"Free Ride"--Edgar Winter Group (I think)

No, was their charting pop song. "Frankenstein" was their charting and dramtic sludge jam instrumental.

"Saturday in the Park"--Chicago

Pop single.

Look for Aorta's first record. Chicago band, heavy jammed out psychedelic vibes into classic rock with fairly great production.

― George the Animal Steele, Tuesday, 24 January 2006 20:26 (twenty years ago)

fyi: later jade warrior does NOT sound like early jade warrior. i like it all though. the early stuff is the more jamming. but in an exotic jungle jam proggy tull kinda way.

Magician's Birthday -- Uriah Heep. Complete with Dean cover. Tolkien plagiarism rock.

― George the Animal Steele, Wednesday, 25 January 2006 00:56 (twenty years ago)

And who can overlook the mighty Nektar? Tab In the Ocean, Remember the Future and the anti-littering rock opera, "Recycled."

― George the Animal Steele, Wednesday, 25 January 2006 00:59 (twenty years ago)

that Heep album is great. so much more than a rock album. epic prog, heavy hitting rock, ballads, soul

and it's one of my fave dean covers

― jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 01:01 (twenty years ago)

I still can't figure out if that's a theremin or just a weird guitar effect on "Sweet Lorraine"! yeah, awesome record; that's the one Heep lp I've listened to most recently ... pulled it out a few months back. Haven't revisited the rest of them in quite some time. Fucking love "Magician's Birthday" (the cut) too -- great riff/drum pattern in the opening section.

Man seconded. it could also be said that later Man does NOT sound like early Man (or Early Man, whatever the heck they sound like.)

Gong should probably make the cut, all they did was sing about peace and love and potsmoke

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 01:16 (twenty years ago)

Ha-ha, Stormy! We gotta drag in Edgar Broughton Band! Lots of Atomic Rooster also qualifies. Vincent Crane was so very hippie.

― George the Animal Steele, Wednesday, 25 January 2006 01:52 (twenty years ago)

thanks jaxon; can't wait to hear it. i had the earlier jade warriors on vinyl years ago.

I'd love to change the world--tya--seconded.

from the same era as jade warrior that i just found on cd--Bo Hansson's LOTR. i think this one still holds up as a hippie jam. bonus cred: hendrix recorded a bo hansson tune "Tax Free."

― J Arthur Rank (Quin Tillian), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 01:56 (twenty years ago)

hey George! you know I love the Broughtons. I still wanna hear that new live CD that came out last year. you got that one? we could throw AB's Kingdom Come into the mix too. all those post-60s club casualties never really shook the flowers out of their hair. somewhere around here I have a Magic Mushroom Band cd..

also, J Arthur -- nice call on the Mountain Bus upthread. I love that record! I like their "I Know You Rider" better than any of the Dead's (although the crazy 66-67 amphetamine-fueled "Riders" are pretty astounding.) I still haven't heard that Hansson thing.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 02:33 (twenty years ago)

gah .. shit, meant to say Magic MUSCLE!! I don't know from Magic Mushroom .. get all these hippies mixed-up.. but yeah, I meant Rustic Rod's troop..

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 02:36 (twenty years ago)

stormy. pick up any bo hansson you see. i've got 3 of em and they're all equally great. they turn up pretty often and usually less than 10 or 15 bucks.

― jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 04:51 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I'd like to get those records, too. I've heard a few of them. Even one, I think, from the early '80s that seemed pretty cool.

Was he in some Swedish organ/drums duo in the late sixties? I forget their name. There was a reissue of their stuff about six years ago or so.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 05:02 (twenty years ago)

HANSSON & KARLSSON

― jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 05:11 (twenty years ago)

xpost to Stormy -- re Edgar Broughton live CD: No! I saw it in the store and left it for later. I snoozed and I losed. When I came back it was gone!

― George the Animal Steele, Wednesday, 25 January 2006 05:12 (twenty years ago)

from aquarius

HANSSON & KARLSSON s/t (Polydor) cd 19.98
The late '60s Swedish power duo of Bosse Hansson (Hammond organ) & Janne Karlsson (drums), though having slipped into relative obscurity, were once a legend -- and rightfully so. Not only did Jimi Hendrix seek them out when on tour in Europe, jamming with them and watching them play, but even covered one of their songs -- "Tax Free". Legend has it that Bosse Hansson, trained as a guitarist, forsook his instrument for the organ after seeing Jack McDuff play and was booking himself gigs with it after playing for merely three days! Listening to his playing, it's really hard to believe he wasn't trained as not just a pianist, but an organist. Hansson, using a double manual Hammond B-3 organ, is truly brilliant in his handling of the instrument; alternating chords and melody between both manuals, playing the bass line with the foot pedals and breathing life into the damn thing with swells and stop effects. Along with Karlsson's drumming they produce such a full sound it's difficult to imagine only two people are playing. Plus, the tunes they belt out are fucking kick ASS to boot. Rocking jams that, though obviously influenced by blues and jazz, are truly unique in the realm of organ rock. There's spontaneity and energy enough, but the two never lose their grip on the structure of their songs, never meander into gratuitous improv nonsense. Part of their ability to keep things tight while still vibrant is the way they rehearsed songs, by improvising in the studio until structures became apparent to the two and then building songs out of the results. This cd is a compilation gathered from Hansson & Karlsson's three albums and one single that they recorded between 1967 and 1969. The cd comes packaged with a 15 page interview with Hansson & Karlsson conducted in 1997. Certainly, if for no other reason, organ fans -- ie: Jimmy Smith et al -- MUST own this. Interested folks wanting to follow Hansson's career are directed to our review of his later "Lord of the Rings" solo album.
RealAudio clip: "Tax Free"
RealAudio clip: "I Love, You Love"

from listening to those clips right now, i'd say they don't sound too different from his later solo stuff. pretty rad. and sound NOTHING like Jimmy Smith or Jack McDuff

― jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 05:14 (twenty years ago)

yeah right, that's Hansson/Karlsson! the dudes that did the "Tax Free" that Jimi covered. supposedly I have it on hold at Aquarius if doods didn't give up on my order! they were waiting to get in some Herman Nitsch thing and something else I can't even remember to complete my order, but they never wrote back to me. damn. I need to follow-up. anyway, I don't have the record but the Jimi cut is so bad-ass. Jimi even put an organ on his version for good measure.

I will definitly scoop up the Bo stuff as I go along

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 05:15 (twenty years ago)

haha, multiple x-post

Now, everyone has forgotten Lee Michaels and Frosty. Do you know what I mean? And that was the pop song. "Stormy Monday" and "Oak Fire" burning in my brain.

― George the Animal Steele, Wednesday, 25 January 2006 09:32 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm...never heard Lee Michaels, aside from the one hit. But as far as "power duos" go, I LOVE that one ridiculous album by (Billy Joel's) Attila!

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 15:17 (twenty years ago)

"Raceway" by Pink Fairies (from the Kings of Oblivion album) is a killer instrumental. A bit too hard rock to be hippie, so maybe it's fake hippie. Or proto-punk.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Thursday, 26 January 2006 02:23 (twenty years ago)

the Juicy Lucy version?

no ... the STACKWADDY version!!! i know George is down...

and big time props to Myonga for the Rustic Hinge mention .. I love that album. Best album you could buy many copies of for $2 at Reckless Records in Chicago in the early 90s....

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 26 January 2006 02:29 (twenty years ago)

I was just thinking about Stackwaddy twenty minutes ago. I am going to listen to their "Willie the Pimp" tonight.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 26 January 2006 02:54 (twenty years ago)

re. Lee Michaels: I remember running out to buy the 5th album which contained Do You Know What I Mean. Every song on that album sounds like Do You Know What I Mean. Great single, but I *lost* that record somewhere along the way.

Hippies wanna be hearin Green Grass & High Tide by the Outlaws anyway.

― jim wentworth (wench), Thursday, 26 January 2006 03:27 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, indeed. Stackwaddy's "Willie the Pimp" kills Juicy Lucy dead. In fact, Stackwaddy greases all of Juicy Lucy.

Re Green Grass, yeah hippies and bikers together, definitely! Then there can be a chain fight between the factions when it goes into the climax.

JPT Scare Band's "Sleeping Sickness." First three UFO records, when they were big only in Germany and pre-Michael Schenker. "Boogie for George" is not named after me. "Prince Kajuku!"

I used to be crazy for the Lee Michaels Live album. Everything had the same slow syncopated beat, great for nodding your head to.

― George the Animal Steele, Thursday, 26 January 2006 04:00 (twenty years ago)

Space Shanty by Khan! In fact, Steve Hillage is great for this stuff in the early Seventies. Arzachel. But, better -- L with his version of "Hurdy Gurdy Man" and "It's All Too Much." It really was all too much, did you know what I meant?!

― George the Animal Steele, Thursday, 26 January 2006 04:06 (twenty years ago)

best Beatles song ever! not really, but yeah!

yeah, it's weird; I always thought I disliked that Khan album, but then I bought that Vertigo set, and when the Khan cut came on I was like "holy crap, this rules!" So who knows.

oh man, "PRINCE JAJUKU"!!! George, you are the best. I totally listened to that UFO stuff just this past Saturday, after many beers, in the first time in about 3 years.

The one thing I *NEVER* got about these dudes is that : .. the track "The COMING of Prinice Jakuku" is like the full-on song with vocals and everthing. and then, the song just titled "Prince Jajuku" is like the instrumental prelude.

That don't make no sense! The prelude should be titled "The Coming Of Prince Jajuku"; and then, when Prince Jajuku finally arrives, the song that details his whole steez should be called "Prince Jajuku". But UFO totally did it the other way around! Crazy!

that Martin Popoff guy is one hell of a UFO fan .. almost scarily so... and yet, he *HATES* the early stuff! it takes all kinds..

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 26 January 2006 04:23 (twenty years ago)

"No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" The Guess Who

― revenge of the lawnmower, Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:47 (twenty years ago)

Well, early UFO was a bird of a different feather for Popoff. He didn't like their psychedelic white boy blooz band at da UFO club stage. He has a hangup with incompetence. However, where others hear incompetence, we hear variety!

― George the Animal Steele, Thursday, 26 January 2006 16:22 (twenty years ago)

six years pass...

I guess this is the best thread...David Peel is all over the A.J. Weberman documentary--didn't know they were both involved with the Yippies at one point. I must have heard "I Like Marijuana" on some soundtrack, and remember it as being pretty lame. Turns out they had one fantastic hippie stomp, featured in the documentary:
