Weekend Music
I usually don’t get around to posting these until Saturday morning, but I’m going to be out of town this weekend.
Years ago, when I started hearing people refer to this as one of the greatest rock-and-roll singles ever recorded, I couldn’t understand why I had never heard it. I certainly heard plenty of top-40 radio in the mid-’60s, when it was released. I just found out, by way of the All Music Guide entry on the Turners (not a happy story), that it was a huge hit in the UK but flopped over here. I am in fact hearing the original for the first time today, having heard several covers over the years. I must say it deserves its reputation.
Here’s a very shall we say dynamic live performance. I don’t know where they are–it almost looks like some kind of tunnel or something.
