It was a dark day when this Rock'n' Roll icon passed form this earth to the Home in Heaven. We will miss his great music and his fun personality, but Heaven will be richer for it. He is there now entertaining those whom have gone before us, and he will be there to entertain us once again someday. I was there from the beginning, have all of the original band's albums and have loved them from day one. Their music, their fun on stage; and, if you have ever been one of the lucky ones who had one of his three-cornered hats sent flying out to you from stage AND still have that hat, you have truly been blessed for it! Their music was always so fun to dance to also. RIP Paul and hope to see you on the other side someday. God bless you for the legacy you have left us.

I nor anybody I knew ever heard this version and I would blow peoples minds with it. this sounds almost exactly like the version on that album which in fact is a live version.the only diff I can hear from memory is that the album version is cleaner.(this video of the show really might be that recording.) 3 years ago it dawned on me to check e-bay. OMG they had 3 of them and 2 were mint. bought all three.i never in a million years would of thought a video existed. I just felt the same joy I felt the first time I played that album.

@kingvidiot66 Agreed. In his book Louie Louie, Dave Marsh tells the story of how the Kingsmen scooped the Raiders and had the big hit with the song, even though the Raiders' version was out first. The other funny thing is that the Kingsmen's version was a rehearsal take. They thought they were doing a run-through and were shocked when the producer told them that was it. That's what accounts for the famous mistake in the last verse when the singer comes in a bar too early with "Me see..."

I owned this one on vinyl and some other albums they produced. Northwest migration of the material from surf style groups increased the popularity of the tune and the US garage bands ate it up. The Kingsmen's version had a lot to do with further advancing the instrumental breaks younger bands were taking. Just a thought.
