My older sister brought this home one day after school back in 1972. I still love it too.

very impressive

It was, truly, the best of 'Times.' I'm about to turn 60 and I count myself so very fortunate to have come from when I did.

Yea my brother came home on leave in 68 and he turned me on to these guy's, along with a few other bands but I remember these guys for sure, and I've got the LP also. Back when music was good. But today I listen to J-Rock & J-Metal it's about the only thing I've found that I like today.

2023

'Cause you have timeless good taste, Rick. I feel sorry for people who think only the "flavor of the month music" that they're pushing now can be good & anything else is stale old "boomer junk." People are brainwashed, I guess you noticed.

@@pyannaguy4361 I'm almost 73 and know exactly how you feel. That's because there are only two kinds of music regardless of genre: good music and bad music. Here we are still enjoying a track that is over 50 years old. Most of the absolute shit you hear these days will be tossed into the dustbin of history in less than a year, thankfully never to be heard again.

My man it will stay with you for ever and ever, It knows you love it and enjoy it , be happy and glad we have thing we enjoy. I know you will and do. Have nothing but a good one. God Bless You.

Masterpiece!

We just rock on. Keep the faith ☮️✌️

It's happening again.................................................

Good post. You said it all, succinctly and briefly. Wish more youtube commenters would follow your lead....lol.

Mike, Your description of the times we loved, and hated--how it could be incredibly good, and incredibly bad was perfectly said. I'm writing this to let you know that it touched me, brought back some of the memories, and to say I appreciated it immensely. Take care, Mike, you're one in a million. Tom

the late '60s was a one time never to be repeated happening and we are blessed for having survived it...many good people did not....it was one time because it was brand new, we were experiencing something that no other culture had experienced, and because it was so new we thought an evolutionary/revolutionary change in society was in the offing...sadly, it was an illusion....what's happening today has nothing in common with the summer of love....today we are experiencing the winter of hate and anger, and I fear where it is headed....it's also missing a soundtrack.....

Indeed.

Well I wouldn't exactly call "A Day In The Life" or "Tomorrow Never Knows", happy fluffy flower stuff, but if you want to go earlier Beatles I'm mostly in on where you were trying to go with that. Starting with Rubber Soul there was a big transition.

And Inna gadda davida or White Room or Vanilla Fudge or...omg...the list is endless. I loved that era so hard.

Mine was one of those minds blown during that era. I lived through the dismay of the Beatles breaking up. I wondered about the sanity of the people who were upset about Dylan going 'Electric'. I insisted FM radios should be standard on all cars NOT because the fidelity was better, but newer broadcasters were embracing newer artists. The Disc Jockeys on the FM Dial seemed to be less constrained by the payola scandal of the 50's and early 60's. Young people today, driven by "Influencers" might find a connective resonnace with the way we cut our teeth back in the day.

My 1st concert was The Moody Blues in Houston. I was 16 years old. My last concert I attended was The Moody Blues at The Concord Pavilion on my 49th birthday. I absolutely love them as they always have the symphony (if one is available) accompany them. Back in the 60’s there were so many free concerts out there. Such a fun time for a teenager to play! The Loving Spoonful’s song, “Summer In The City” just came to mind… Hot time summer in the city, Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty…

@@johnthonig8832 Nice to meet you.

@@nancyjordan1577 Ditto- PEACE.

Yep...Stones, CCR, Beatles. ZZTOP, Tops, Temps......does not get BETTER!

Same! I was about 3 and I remember it clearly!

One of the first "Psychedelic" bands, and they were Black. Once again, paving the way. Freaking great song, especially with a Doobie and a glass of wine, and Headphones.

Same! Heard it in the background of the film; Girl, Interrupted and HAD to find it! I just turned 30 2 weeks ago, and I got the same feeling! Some people just know good music :)

65 March 9th. Not the best at classic vinyl back then. Love it now. I’m glad I never grew up. The Lord is Good. So have to give the old hymns a ❤too. And thanks for no 1990s. To the present. Nothing. Sounds good. Thanks Lord. ❤

Love it....my go to song at the bar

i heard this song back in 1984 when I was 20 yrs old at about 3 am when I was doing a paper route in norcross ga off radio station z-93 wzgc and I was a changed boy. then went and found it on a cassette called chambers brothers greatest hits, and must have wore out the cassette tape for 6 mos, I could not have told you the other songs on the tape but I already knew that time has come today was on there and not the short version. blasted the piss out of this song driving down the road. be bopping until I could be bop no more.

Tripped to this incredible song more than once. (Come to think of it, greatest cowbell song as well.)

Music to get high by we called it!

65 here. Great song! Captures feel of 1969!

Music (like literature) is a time machine...much like the smell of home-baked bread, slow cooked stew, etc. Certain things evoke memories...savor these things as always and, by ALL means, pass them on to younger folks as most know nothing of what they're missing out on.

Such a shame. There was no good reason to go into that war. So many people died, and for what? I'm so sorry. 😞

Thankyou.. the war never went away. When I heard this song it was 1969 all over again. Funny how the mind works

Sorry for your loss

we left a part of us all there in the Republic of Vietnam. Time passed very slow there. I flew in the air mostly, a doorgunner.... 'there it is'

Knowing some things about war and America, it pisses me off that young men were literally sacrificed in that war. That's the war mongers laughing at our losses.

Ah, they will some day, we just need to keep those currently in charge from blowing the world all to Hell first! Keep the Faith, have patience, breathe. The rest will come to you and yours. "Don't get above your Raisin"

As a 71-year-old rocker, I have faith that the majority of young people will keep on rocking for generations to come. Keep up the fight.

That's because no one plays instruments anymore.

I think one big difference between earlier and later generations in terms of music is that there were fewer distractions for older musicians and that helped them hone their skills and think. It was pretty boring entertainment wise. Those born later had t video games, cable tv, internet and social media making it more difficult to focus on one thing.

@@raddmann336 What kind of distractions are we talking about?

@Surfer Bob it was a popular song with the G.I's...are you abit slow? what part of that comment was problematic...separatist...Racist...Closet Racist.....you my narrow minded friend...... are a idiot!

@Surfer Bob search the Viet Nam war , how it was pronounced ,reasons for the war , what went on the front line , and the discrimination bw troops .And might I remind u the 1960s were a racist period . Black singers were looked down upon .Because white folks and colored folks enjoyed this together, it brought them closer and instilled a sense of unity . You're a special snowflake.

Jerry, you say that with such enthusiasm. I know how much they meant to you. 'Time', from beginning to end was just a one of a kind song; never to be duplicated. It was special to my insane friends & myself. I often remember the bruises I took if I didn't feel like 'grunting' that particular night. Thanks, my Friend

I have always loved this song and all the Chambers Brothers music but especially Time has come today. I want to say this is the best psychedelic rock song of those times.

It was all part of the counterculture. One of my favorite songs in highschool

what, no acid? come on...I was there in '79, flare pants and all...

That’s how I remember the late 60’s & early 70’s. Smoking some good weed, getting F-up, bunch of people listening to this music at a party, with black light posters on the wall & tee shirts that illuminated with the black light. Drinking some wine too. Those were the days my friend who thought they would never end.

1959 was a good year.

Mainstream music today is a cultural wasteland. That's why you have to dig deep and uncover unknown or underground bands. There is a lot of incredible art being produced, but it's not always going to be on the radio.

What plagued America beginning then?

@@audreymuzingo933 The seeds of every torment we face today were sown in the 60's. Choose one and trace its origin. The political left matured in their delusions to toxic proportions we are battling currently. But what was the remedy preventing society from eventually being degraded? I remember people saying how dangerous even popular culture would become, and that was mid-sixties. The only way to stop it would have been considered violence to suppress evolving perversion and lawlessness. That said, the decade of my childhood contained a kaleidoscope of art, music, (the beginnings of heavy metal) and the introduction of many things we are aware of today. This was the birthplace. It was also perhaps the most violent era, with Mao in China killing many millions in his delusionary bid to "leap forward". The Vietnam war was raging without restraint again killing countless souls. Abbey Hoffman and his ilk tormented society with radical violent demonstrations and far-left miscreants planning mayhem. So, you see this has matured to where we are. The left has learned a lot in sixty years, even stealing elections and subjecting the American populace to toxic goals. Lack of knowledge concerning history will be the undoing of us all.

​@@Giavani-wq7gb Okay thanks, I figured you would say a bunch of that angry right-winger stuff, ha. What you see as a plague, I see as joyful progress. I'm SO glad to be a mother of a young woman now, versus the past when both of us would be expected to be married and do nothing but "devote" ourselves to husbands and children no matter how awful either of them might be (even get LEGALLY beaten and raped by husbands). I love how racially integrated America is now, just like the Chambers Brothers were. I love just about everything that changed after (and largely due to) the revolutionary 1960's. What's weird to me is that you seem so at-odds with it, like you appreciate the music but don't seem to understand what it was about, or how it was a HUGE part of why all the changes (change you hate) occurred.
