40 years ago......

....this is what music was like!

It's Vanilla Fudge on the Ed Sullivan Show! Absolutely incredible!

Of course we now live in a world of generic "famous for five minutes" pop idols who are promoted by million dollar videos specifically designed for MTV etc.
Take away the technology, put 'em on a stage and tell 'em to play, and things are not quite the same.

So look at the Vanilla Fudge live clip, and tell me.....where did it all go wrong?

I liked it but the guys in the clip were obviously of the planet on something!

I blame Keith Emerson and the Moog synthesiser.
