"Going Up Up the Country" 1970 | Canned Heat

The video is cool and it's crap at the same time.  As to why it's crap, look for evidence of any cables or wires on the stage while they perform.




There were no radio transmitters for instruments in 1970 or if any did exist they were so rare as to be of no consequence.  It was still years before those became common.

It doesn't look it but the video has got to be lip-synced.  The flute player is happening but the singer looks so wasted he can hardly feel his feet.  And why not since what a shitty gig being called to do a lip-sync set.


Even so, it's Canned Heat and not one of the bands you have heard a zillion times already.


How about another one with Vanilla Fudge.




Ed:  he would die on "American Idol"

There was no "American Idol" back then and instead we had real bands.  "American Idol" didn't give you anything since it was much better when the bands were stars.
