about

The Standells’ amazing string of punkish, tough-guy anthems, like “Dirty Water” and “Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White,” define the legacy of mid-sixties garage rock like nothing else. With the success of these records came ‘66 tours with the Rolling Stones and Beach Boys. From all reports, the Standells proved a superb live act. But for decades, their on-stage reputation rested on an earlier, Pre-Tower label live album documenting the Standells in an unrecognizably clean-cut night club incarnation.

But there’s a happy ending to this story. It turns out the Standells were in fact recorded at their peak, LIVE ON TOUR-1966! At last, here’s the whole knock-out live act from the year the Standells stormed the charts. All the ‘66 hits are here including “Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White,” “Why Pick On Me?” and of course, “Dirty Water” (in tremendous versions, all of them). Fan faves are also on board, like the fuzzed-out “Mr. Nobody” and stomping “Why Did You Hurt Me.” Highlights also include high energy covers of “Midnight Hour” and “Please, Please, Please,” to name just a few of these crowd-pleasers, showcasing the Standells’ R&B roots updated with ‘66 sheen. Hearing the Standells’ road-tested, extended take on “Gloria” is not to be missed, either!

Rescued from a professionally recorded concert at the University of Michigan, the Standells are captured in astonishingly clean sound that rivals their legendary studio recordings. This may just be the finest recorded example of vintage live ‘66 American garage rock.

about

The Standells Los Angeles, California

Led by the snotty, voice of drummer Dick Dodd, the entrancing keyboards of Larry Tamblyn and the searing guitar of Tony Valentino, the Standells cut "Dirty Water” and a laundry list of mighty garage-rock anthems that would one day fuel the eager young minds (and sticky fingers) of the Stooges, Ramones and Green Day, as well as legions of adenoidal punk-rockers yet to come! ... more

Sweet, retro rock. Encapsulates the 60s sound perfectly. Festive, chill; acid dancer. Fun to listen to, great to vibe off of, move your body to, or just relax with. Every song on this album is a hit. Dancing album for sure... I saw them live, same kind of fun! ebookreader
