That really dates it, right? When people think "Ted Nugent," they think of his big CAL JAM '78 shindig like ten years later... this was in the '60s--UNREAL!

Be a whole lot better world if we had more Go-Go girls in it

You got that right!

So damn good 👍

@@joshuahoover6841 Hell Yeah

1957? Me too

​@@1Mhoram9I think I'm 66 you having flashbacks too ?

I was 14 then. Now I'm just 3 months from 70. Love this song, both the lyrics and the distorted guitar. There's a TV recording of the Lemon Pipers doing "Green Tambourine" that really takes me back. The only one missing from that period for me (YMMV) is The Status Quo playing "Pictures of Matchstick Men." I've never seen that, if such a video exists. What a time to be a teenager!

@@1Mhoram9 Hey fellow 1957, rock on. The 70's music was the best, hands down. I will never lose that spirit.

allot of us are still here since 1957.

This is my number (1) song. IT JUMPS RIGHT IN AND TAKE OFF NON-STOP! TO LIKE 5 LEAVES!

I was 11 years old, 1968!

I was 12. Awesome music then, glad to have been around in the 60s✌✌❤

born in 56 ... still my all time favorite , saw nugent 4 times !!@@margaretcortez3900

Great song.

At 9 yrs old that little blue 4x5 transistor radio with that one earplug was my best friend. I remember those days...AM radio....and the batteries that never lasted, lol.

and a scratchy over played 45 rpm Record LOL

@@mreunome😂😂😂.. absolutely! good times !… thank god for Duracell 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

@@mreunome Always had to change the 9 volt battery on the transistors. But we did use them to the max even once we were in bed we hid it underneath the pillow!

Saturday night is my night for a few beers a few tears, "little transistor radio" I had mine under my pillow, listening to Radio Caroline, and my favourite song I waited on was Sunshine Superman, great memory

Uncle Ted would probably say he was young and foolish as a youth

😂😂😂

Honestly, I think he looks good.

Ted was as much of a prick then as now.

Caveman swinging a rope came shortly afterward .

Was Philman's around back then or not till the later 70s? I wasn't born until 79, but when I was a kid TUE fuckin rocked.

g painted on the doors. Wish that we could go back for a visit.

I'm from and still live in Dayton! WTUE was a great station. :(

Man, what an awesome memory... Can * almost * smell that dark-dank of interior of the old Ford, I had a similar Mustang, complete with roaches in the ashtray!

1968 got this song not 1963

The dancers are wonderful - ah, the 60s . . .

What ever happened to Nugent? Maybe he never returned from his trip. sad...

​@@rhyoliteaquacade Terrible Ted is still kickin, and is all the net, and can still make a guitar scream for mercy. He never really took trips, lots of tours though. Educate thy self, before spewing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMl7lsR-sbuRc3U.html

@@whocares.20 who cares...

@@rhyoliteaquacade People. Respectful people.

No, it was very much of its time. 1967-1968.

Yeah, no.

Totally wild 💥

It's still ahead of it's time in 2024.

2023 still listening

WHY? TED left , done. No TED no hits!! Rockology!!

@@davidfulford9493 talking about while Nugent was with them.

Dude, you should check out their version of Baby, Please Don't Go. That's probably one of the best covers I've heard of that song. Not to mention Ted improvising Third Stone from the Sun on the bridge.

great song

That sucks. I didn't even know he died.

I remember they played at the community centre in the Detroit suburb of Lincoln Park in 1967.

Motor city madhouse is a great song if you have a powerful stereo. Thanks TED !

I have seen Terrible Teddy a few times live, and have spoken to him--- He puts on a real good show, and the fuzz he could get out of that Gibson Byrdland hollow body was great!!!! He IS a bonafide nut, too!!! But, I don't agree with his politics, I wish he could keep quiet, and stick to hunting, and playing guitar ----

Imagine waking up the morning after a concert in the nearby high school gym and finding Amboy Dukes passed out on your front lawn.

What's better than cruising in a '68 GTO with the radio jacked

Yes Jim it is one of the coolest song ever. I was only 13 yrs old in 1968, when this was a hit. Love to return to 1968. It also was a very bad year in Vietnam, had a cousin and a neighbor there. By 1973, I was in the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant

@@usmc-veteran73-77 Thanks for sharing this! I wasn't alive then but I love hearing old stories like yours!

Not sure what effects pedal he stomps on during the recording of this in 1968 but some sort of overdrive type probably a Fuzz.

One of my favorite moments in 60s music. Controversial opinions aside, 'The Nuge's' performance on this record is outstanding and exciting!

Psychedelic...... not Metal..

Well, maybe? Give 50,000 miles beneath my brain. You’re right though.

At only 19 years old, Nugent is part of this huge hit - and he managed to stay grounded (still performing today).

This is off the other side of the album, much heavier. The bass and drums are killing it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a96jhpB5rs-Rkpc.html

So many people have no idea that Ted Nugent was playing lead guitar...and was great then.

Yup, Red knows how to "edit" his playing... letting some notes just sing. Jeff Beck did the same thing....

@@rickhibdon11 Too bad Ted didn't continue playing that way.

SMOKIN IN THE BOYS ROOM...

Loved them and some Brownsville Station in Texas back in the day !!

Cool Memory!

As a bass player, I agree.

it's pretty basic, child.

​@@lewisc215Is not meant to be difficult to be killer...the music Is Heard with ear not with the fingers or the eyes

Oh behave! Talkin' about your sweet ole' grandma like that 😉

@@musicalcontessa4275 Talking about your momma like that , putz.

Broads are fat today. At least 40 pounds heavier now, and loaded up with tattoos. You were lucky. I'm in my 20's and I have to live with these slobs. No makeup either.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Dude that’s my mom on the first row!…. Ok just kidding, those gals are awesome!!!

I highly Agree.

Oh how I miss those old days. Back when lead guitarists knew how to play. *sigh*

Seems like ages ago for me

I wasn't born to 65 but that team sounds good and he's rocking ripping that guitar

How would this song sound if a traditional power metal band covered it ?

@@juliereminiec4937 you mean like Omen or Jag Panzer? That might work depending on how well you sold it.

"DID"? Nobody DOES it better than Ted.

Fun fact: Ted nugent was very anti drug. His band mates lied about what it was about and he ended up making one of the most iconic psychedelic Era songs.

I read this just as he did it lol.

Not bad for young boys in mini dresses and wigs hey 👋 it was the 60' s anything goes 😮

@@johnthompson9513 Who cares about your obsessive transmisia except you. live and let live, human existence, life on Earth is not only about your feelings.

I saw the Amboy dukes on a purple microdot. Front and center. Undescribable.

​@@ronskancke1489 I did blue mesc.

Back in the day I saw ZZ Top open for Ted........My ears are still ringing from that show...lol

@@BlazinRiver1 😄😆🤣😂☺

oh yeah saw these guys at the auto show in Detroit, they had the best locals!! I like Ted doing the pop rock thing!!

A drummer's talent has nothing to do with his kit.

Testify. Charlie Watts ruled the greatest r&r outfit in history with a simple Classico kit.

Robert , your Music has always been captivating !

They didn't interpret anything. They wrote the song

@@turtleneckferret You are correct. My mistake. And I modified the comment.

@@anchor4591 I make mistakes all the time. Not a big deal.

It's lip-synced.

@Alex_Mitchell Understandably so. But still an excellent visual performance.

Definitely has the Moody Blues sound, but with Poopy Pants Nugent on guitar!

@@Alphadawg3571 ;-)

Moody Blues vibe big time✌🎸

I’m working on building a Time Machine so I can hook up with the one in the center

Yeah. Nice legs.@@itzhakbentov6572

I bought this as a 45 as a teen. Pretty catchy song. The man is dangerous tho

Oorah big brother.

@@garrettsheaffer9799 Garrett did you serve in the Marine Corps?

@@usmc-veteran73-77 yes sir 2006-2011 even did a tour in the Al Anbar.

@@garrettsheaffer9799 thank you your service over there. I was a 3531 Motor T for 8 months then when I was transferred to Okinawa, Truck Co, H&S Bn, 3rd Force Service Regiment (3rd MLG now) put me in Company Office and loved it. I'm a board certified POG. Then on to H&S Battalion S-1 shop. Then finally back to Camp LeJeune H&S Co H&S Bn 2nd Force Service Support Group for my last 2 years. Believe it or not, not one day in the field for 2 years (75-77) I made Sgt before I got out. They wanted me to reenlist if I'd go to Admin Chief School, then a promotion to Ssgt. I almost reenlisted, but I decided not to. So I finished my 4 yrs on 4 Oct 77, got out and let my hair grow and boy did it grow. Again thank you for your service to our beloved Marine Corps and long live the Legend of Chesty Puller. Semper Fi

Late,but I was thinking the same. This song had it all.

"If it's too loud, you're too old" . As Uncle Ted would say.

Rock n Roll music and dancing with respect. Semper Fi

@@lastfirst78 Thank you for your service. We are part of the Department of the Navy, United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant

Studio version. They are lipsynching. Check out the absence of cords from the guitars to the amps.

@edwardloomis887 Wow, that was a good observation Edward! I always eyeball the musicians and never what's taking place around them.

Too bad the cameraman didn't recognize this. It wouldn't have hurt to have a few more shots of the band members in the back row. Viewers are largely oblivious to their existence until the end of the song. In fact some may have thought they were independents provided by the studio.

One thing that is good about growing older with this music is how I and others, like you, recognize the importance of the bass. I didnt pay attention when I was 19/

​@edwardloomis887 It's the beginning of what most do to this day tho brother!!! Gotta give credit where credit is due!! ❤❤❤

*its best.

Absolutely.Back in the seventies Ted was the man. I saw him like 10 times and he made my ears ring more than every other band I ever saw. All everyone wants to talk nowadays is about his politics,but this guy is one monster guitar player.

@@kingkongkevin507 his beliefs are the normal beliefs of any normal American, leftists have made him appear to be radical but he is normal.

None of his public behavior is anything new if people actually followed him,musically. Bands who played with the Amboy Dukes in the sixties say he behaved this way then. Always the Big Dog. Except for his blistering guitar work,he is quiet in this video. Impeccable vocals by Steve Farmer.

@@joejones9520 It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Normal isn’t all it’s hyped up to be.

@@allemander good grief, such a drama queen

Loved the Bubble Puppy too

Yes they were fantastic

I don't know why they quit having the dancers! They were great!!

They did add eye candy to the song.

More go-go dancers please. I miss those days.

Something ate the centre of Ted’s mind.

That club was called the corral in North Ridgeville ohio.

I agree. I had no idea Ted was in this band. Still picking my jaw up off the floor.

​@@phillamoore157need to read up on your RNR history

@@debrachampagne7715 yes, this is such common knowledge that one day if they keep learning theyll wish they hadnt even admitted they didnt know this.

Even as a kid he had such perfect TONE and played so tastefully. I’m not necessarily a fan of him but just can’t deny the talent & ear that guy has

Yep, good musician. Too bad he's such an asshole otherwise.

Yep, Easy ? You can't play Twinkle twinkle ! So sit down @

@@Itsme-ni9jk please stop ✋️ it...all you can do is play with yourself

But yet worthless as a human being.

And when music was actually GOOD.

I hate to break it to you, but people do in this day and age also.

This is fake. Just lip syncing.

In Macon Georgia I was about 11 and I recorded this off the radio on a small Iowa Real to Reel it so I can play it back constantly

Some Timothy Leary LSD...Bezerkley! 😜

same here

good catch on the guitar not being plugged in

and when he mimes the drumroll at the end of the solo on the body of guitar - even then he had the instincts of a showman

Even as a teenager, showbiz savvy Ted realized the purpose of TV appearances was to SELL THE RECORD. Artists lip-synced because it would have been impossible to remotely approximate a polished studio recording in the tiny confines of a television studio. The song kids heard on TV the night before was the record they were buying after school the next day, a strategy used to great effect by the unlikely Ozzie Nelson, a law student and bandleader years before he was a befuddled sitcom dad and a shrewd businessman off-screen. Ozzie realized a weekly television series was the perfect platform to launch wise-ass-kid-brother-turned-teen-heartthrob son Ricky's career as a singer, taking after his mother; Ozzie met the then-Harriet Hilliard when she auditioned to be his band's girl singer (she got the job). Whenever Ricky lip-synced his latest release at the end of that weeks "Ozzie and Harriet" episode, Ozzie made sure record stores were stocked with plenty of copies in advance.

Not only is Ted keeping in time with the music, he's adjusting the volume control on his guitar as he would have been doing in a real, live situation. A real showman.

My mom was driving us to the store sometime in the mid 60's. We were waiting for the light to turn green and all of a sudden I see a black hearse making a left turn at breakneck speed and I read on the side of the vehicle in huge letters "Amboy Dukes"...lol

@@robertallen6710 Probably ted at the wheel, he is such a freak...lol

@@will7its 😄😅😂

It's because of politics.

Totally agree 100%.

Bob seager isn't there either and should be. Yet, Dolly pardon is?

Hall of Fame is all BS crock! Also, they should have put in Detroit where it belongs!!!

Saw the dukes in sioux city Iowa about 69 or 70. .I don't think there were 150 people there. One purple microdot, front and center in front of 34 - 4 speaker ampegs. It was LOUD. Completely blew me away.

Like I always say: Uncle Ted can't think but, Uncle Ted can ROCK!

Well that’s good I like a lot of music that isn’t my ideal politics what funny is they try tj call Nugent racist his idols were Bo Didley & Chick Berry he opens uniform the supremes at like 14

Lgb

@@devastator226 What do you mean by "lgb".

I do agree with alot of uncle Ted's politics,but I also agree with bluecatky,just because your not down with someone's beliefs and politics doesn't mean you can't enjoy their art or talent...well said Mr.Bluecatky
