The Moody Blues. Ride My See-Saw
OK, I'm not a huge fan of the MBs, but I really do dig this tune. It's about as rockin' as they got in the sixties. And yes, I realize they're lipsynching here, but the alternative is much worse. They weren't able to pull their stuff off live till the eighties, and by that time, they were pretty much a nostalgia act. So if you check out the version of this number live in Paris in 1970, you'll probably be disappointed. But, I mean, it's a free country. Do whatever you want. I'm not the music police. Not yet, at least. And tell me this: didn't one of those guys go on to become the Galloping Gourmet?
This is the best selection (out of many fine ones) you have gifted to us.
ReplyDeleteBack in the late 60's I spent a few days with only one album for listening pleasure ... "In Search of the Lost Cord". One of my all time favorites, and your Ride My See-Saw was one of the cuts. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_My_See-Saw for details.
