There may be a very good reason your band's version "didn't sound quite this good". The Spector "Wall Of Sound" production style was less of a recording session than a construction site. This is from the Wikipedia entry on the song: Quote:
...although, Phil Spector was personally responsible for me getting my bar tending job back in the mid 70s... <O>

Homage to a great man, sadly mostly remembered these days for "war mongering".
"Boney was a Warrior" - Goats yes goats ( Sea s/chanty cover ). More violence :- "Rome ( Roam actually ) The B52s. Dedicated to the "Barbarians" who in many instances were the actual "Good Guys".

the "original" There's this other dude who has copied that Spector sound more than a little: then he saw this girl, see? now he picks and chooses Why he picked them, I dunno... lots of computerized stuff going on. Excellent musicianship, but not my cup o' tea... Everybody has to do a power trio at least once... tic |;^) meanwhile, "Harvey" is a ward of the State of California... |

Ah, the Ronettes... and, especially, Ronnie... I think every male of age in the early to mid 60s lusted after Ronnie; it was too bad she wound up with Spector. In his autobiography, Keith Richards details the Stones touring with the Ronettes in the mid 60s and tells of how jealously Phil guarded Ronnie; Keith tells of how he and Ronnie would sneak off together (a story backed by Ronnie). The Beatles also toured with the Ronettes and tried to put the moves on Ronnie and the girls, but the Ronettes apparently weren't interested... This clip is from a 1965 film called The Big T.N.T. Show, a sort of sequel to the 1964 concert film The T.A.M.I. Show. Both shows were a collection of performances by top musical acts and some of the up-and-comers of the late 50s to the early to mid 60s. The older acts were in their prime and the newer acts were harbingers new musical directions. The The Big T.N.T. Show was produced by Phil Spector, who also served as Musical Director. The backing band was comprised of the same top studio musicians who worked with Phil on his recordings, most of whom were famously known as "The Wrecking Crew". This clip is full of the energy the Ronettes generated in their live performances: (BTW, really liking the backup dancers in the men's shirts and leotards...)... This clip is audio only, but it gives a glimpse of a typical Spector recording session: Playing in a trio is a great learning experience; having to handle both lead and rhythm and adapting to cover both the middle and highs as a guitarist and the lows and middle as a bassist expands one's technique and feel; drummers also benefit from having to provide fills and transitions they would not normally encounter in other lineups. I've played in a couple of trios in the past and in a few 'inadvertent' trios as can happen when the second guitarist either didn't show up or showed up incapable of playing due to over indulgences... <O>

Just got this link in a Fender email newsletter with this article covering the history of the Fender Stratocaster; it has some really good clips of famed Strat players:

Now, on to more "power trio" stuff, and "factory" songs: they needed a little help from their friends on that one. Gotta find me a Wet Willy vid now... Whatever possessed Brewer and Schacher to dress like that?... 'course, Farner ain't "normal" either, and it ~is~ 1974... YikeS!!! |

Thank you propbeanie and vienna for posting the video's of the Ronettes "Be My Baby"
She sure had energy and the whole audience was grooving and rocking and rolling too. First time I've seen her live ... she doesn't look black, uh?

Found one:
I saw them in St. Louie when I was in high skrul, sophomore year?? They were an "opening" band, that basically stole the show from the headliner, who I can't even remember now... |
