Time Has Come Today-The Chambers Brothers

Mea Culpa on the Blind Faith/Cream mix up!

Back in the day, I attended many gigs of PG&E. They were a great band, had an lp, but lost it in a house fire. I should try and find an LP one of these days.

Docdan50, thanks! I played my copy yesterday and you are right. Very well recorded and great instrumentals. I had forgotten how much I liked when it was new. Gotta love this passion.

saw them live when I went to The Steve Allen Show. They did Time as Come Today,the long version! Steve Allen loved it,man Steve was always supportive of new talent. I have that album to,haven't heard it in a dogs age though.

I saw them perform this live in the late sixties at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. It was one of the most memorable performances there I can recall (although Cream and Jeff Beck trumped them). The intense percussion, strobe lights and echo loops took it over the top, just fantastic live.

Funny thing though, today it's used as background music for umpteen TV commerials; my wife and I start reaching for our "Air Lugers" to shoot the TV whenever we hear it. It has now become the equivalent for me of squeaky chalk on a dry chalkboard.
