After listening to this I find it difficult to listen to the commercial version. The biggest difference is that the commercial version was played at a much higher speed which makes it difficult to understand the words and all of the vocal subtlety is lost. This version is a joy to listen to.

This was a group in their prime, they were late 20s, and those harmonies were effortless because they were young. Their string of hits only lasted about two years. By the early 70s, they were already an oldies group. Drugs and poor decisions ruined them; like so many in the Hippie years.

Personally, I like the record version a little better. But an interesting note, it was common for The Association to play this song slower when playing it live. Jim Yester admitted years ago that there so many many lyrics to this song with strange words like "psychodramas" that it was hard to sing the song at a fast pace (as on the original recording) and not make mistakes or forget some words. The slower pace insures that he will nail all the lyrics with out mistakes or forgetting words.

I guess you’re right. But we’ve lived the years since hoping to hear truly fresh, original music. Everything is a remake, or the styles were inspired by a group from that era. Still, in 1968, The Beatles were the standard and as great and original as these guys were, they were presented as just another pop group. The other major hurdle was everyone embraced British bands, even those that offered fluff like Herman’s Hermits or Freddy and the Dreamers. The Association were different, even a 12 year old kid like me could hear something special and really cool about this band.

There were so many great music groups in the 1960s and 1970's that the Association was very underrated. Great harmonies and musical talent.

Great live performance! Although early recordings of the band used studio musicians (probably some members of the Wrecking Crew), the instrumental chops of these six guys were later undeniable. And, of course, those stellar vocals! So happy to see these high quality segments from Ed's show.

I'd never heard this song before seeing the beginning played by Leonard Bernstein in the episode of Young People's Concerts where he explains modes. And I was like "wow, great lyrics. Let me check this out." What a song.
