The Airplane video is from an appearance on The Smothers Brothers Show in the late 60's; the bands on most TV shows on CBS at the time who appeared live actually would record a backing track, minus vocals, and mime playing their instruments while singing along to the recorded track live. The song is great and, as you pointed out, the six-string guitar and bass are particularly good, but, then, what can one expect from Jorma Kaukonen, a great master of reverbed guitar and Jack Casady, probably one of the coolest bass players, ever...

The "Beep, Beep" was a big hit when it was released; I remember the song fondly. Thanks for posting!...

Love LaVern Baker, but every time I hear Jim Dandy, it reminds me of the godawful version done by Black Oak Arkansas; fortunately, LaVern had plenty of other great songs...

Godfrey was actually a DJ in Los Angeles in the 60s, and his release of this song was actually a cover of the first single released by Kim Fowley entitled just The Trip. Kim's single was a local hit in Southern California; when Godfrey recorded his version, the backing band was a now-legendary, and still active, LA Chicano group, Thee Midniters. Thee Midniters played a concert at the LA high school I was attending at the time and I remember them playing this song and I also remember there was a bit of grumbling among a few of the teaching staff and a few of the more conservative students in regard to the lyrics...

Good choices!...

Nice pieces of information.

I was going to post a number by Thee Midniters, but I came across another odd number related to the Godfrey post. As noted before, Godfrey was a local LA DJ and friends with Thee Midniters; this is a number I wasn't aware of before and is another Godfrey single; to put it in context, Whittier Blvd. is a main thoroughfare on the East side of LA, heavily Latino, and usually referred to as just East LA. Whittier Blvd. has long been the go to spot for weekend cruising by the car clubs and their aficionados. Thanks again to fumo30 for bringing up Godfrey and steering me towards this number; here is Godfrey, Thee Midniters and their take on Whittier Blvd. in the 60s:

Thee Midniters and the song that has become, over the decades, the unofficial anthem of East LA:

...and, as long as we're in East LA, a more modern number:

Something a little jazzy from Billy Joel.
