We Salute You!

Wow - like Planet of the Apes with Rickenbackers.

Is that the drummer from the White Stripes?

For the 1st 1:15, I was wondering what the corpulent fellow was doing up there...

That was.... weird.....

You blew it all up! You ********!

???

Alright, which one of you is Bright Eyes....

WOW!!!! What a strange clip!!!!

The poor harp player looked so WRONG in that leather vest combo.

Amazing.

Wow! One has to wonder if they used this video as a model when they went to make Planet of the Apes. Not just the look, but the movements!

Two things:
1. Singer/harp player's shoulders.
2. Drummer's hair.

The drummer, I learned is Jan Errico, who also played with the Mojo Men. I remember the latter group more than the Vejtables. The Mojo Men's hit was "Sit Down, I Think I Love You." I didn't know it was written by Stephen Stills, until I read the blurb at the bottom of the page.

At first, I thought it was another British Invasion group, the hair, the band get-up, even the style of the song. What a surprise to learn they were American, from San Francisco, yet!

San Francisco can be a surprising place!

Am I the only one who actually liked the tune? This is a band I've read about but never heard until now. Jan Errico also went by the name of Jan Ashton, and I believe she was chosen over Grace Slick for the Mojo Men. (...looking for a longhaired brunette with heavy mascara...)

By the way, turns out Soylent Green is People.

I had heard of this band but never saw them. They sounded pretty ho-hum. Very Beatle-ish. The singer upfront did look like an ape. Basically, this is a 60's "period piece" and should be taken as such.
