when i was in high school (i'm 22 now) this music somehow found me and i desperately tried to emulate the fashions. the slim suits mostly confused the other kids but i felt kingly. if only i could've been around in '66!

Wow! Your comment was 11 years ago. KZread was a toddler by then. Now that you're 33, how has life treated you? Still trying to emulate the 60s? Still like The Eyes?

Very Cool !!!!! Like !!!!!!

Great video montage of "Swinging 60s" London. Yes, the Who's first few records came out first, but they BOTH had a great sound. If you liked this, "When The Night Falls" is also great.

This song brings so many feels LOVE IT

Sounds like "I Can't Explain" by The Who. 60's music was the best!

Once a Mod, always a Mod

Fantastic this! I first got it on the LP Blink in the early 80s (Bam Caruso- send for fab poster; I did and it was fab too!) What an opening line too. The grey suede coat sounds gorgeous as well.....

The Bam Caruso Poster was unfortunately out of print when I bought my copy, however, I did manage to get the the "Scene but not heard" Comp of the Acetates though. cool.

Definately "You're gonna miss me" ...a hint of "Can;t Explain"...but which came first?? And does it even matter, it's all a brilliant songs!!!

Expected Roger to start singing..."I got a feelin' inside..."

once again, lovely combination of music-images!! This song is as good as the Who's in which is "inspired"!!!

This one, "When The Night Falls" (The Eyes) and "Midnight To Six Man" (The Pretty Things) "How Is The Air Up There?" (The La De Das) "Leaving Here" (The Birds)

@gatefoldrecords - as far as i'm aware this was first released in nov. 65, and elevators 'you're gonna miss me' was first released in jan. 66

I remember this time......yep, i'm OLD!!!

A garage Can't Explain - brilliant!

can't explain where i've heard that riff...

I'd say "I Can't Explain" was more likely the inspiration but it does remind me of "You're gonna miss me", but I would doubt either band would have heard either's music at the time, small distribution, and yes Rocky recorded "You're gonna miss me" with The Spades before the 13th Floor Elevator's version...great tracks all.

really like this song thanks

Hell yeah

yeah, i'm aware of that, it was released at the end of 65, late november, but poster referenced elevators, i don't think they're connected but i wouldn't say it was impossible that the eyes had heard of the elevators though.

AAAHHH!! This is the original video for this classic track?! YES!!! F*ckin' classic!

What a fun video to watch and listen to.

Me encanta. i love this song!!!

Fab track, fab band. Come to Jersey on 27 Feb 2014 and see a great 60s cover band called Divine Toe play this and other tracks from Creation, the Art, Family, Audience etc. It's gonna b a great nite!!!!!

Actually, Roky recorded "You're Gonna Miss Me" with his first group : "The Spades" before recutting the song with the Elevators. Not sure of dates, but guess it'd be 1965 at some point. Almost impossible The Eyes would have heard it ;-)

Nice tune, thanks.

Excellent video! Congratulations, Blacflag!

anybody remember the Stepford Husbands version of this song (on Cryptovision) in the mid 80s?

Awesome tune

the sound of the crazy 60s

don't know if the Who/Kinks influenced these guys, they were all on the same scene @ the same time. killer track by a killer band!! * * * * * all the way!! Lee Liverpool Mods.

you got all you want you couldnt be no higher ,

lovely footage man!

yeah i agree!

When Britain 🇬🇧 was cool 😎

cant explain pre dates this

simple and great :D

Make a real independent statement; make your own fashion--from whatever era you choose. Vintage shops are the best!

Yes, and I still have the record.

Sweet

good point. Clash City Rockers actually sounds like the Who's famous song...(sorry my mind has gone blank...) i don't think Strummer was familiar with this band but Jones was into garage rock.

Clash City Rockers!

Love the ladies fashions and cute short hairstyles. Where did the video come from?

This also sounds like The Nazz's "Open my eyes" does anyone have The Eye's version of "Stepping Stone"?? I've heard its very rare and I can't find it anywhere.

'i cant explain' was released in 65, and this in 66, but when was it written....being honest this and 'when the night falls' were better than anything the who ever done.

I really love this track but respectfully disagree, person.

yeah, i can believe that, usually the case

Sounds a little like The Who's "Can't Explain" in chord progression.

Teeny bopper coppy cats .

@TheFacelessK which is itself a take of The Who's "I Can't Explain."

@gatefoldrecords Yes

The guitar riff is inspired by The Who's ''I Can't Explain''.

Carnaby Street , London...enough said those who know

want to shop there

Some things are so good that most things look like shit a mod sets the rules and it can not beaten .

This footage is like fucking psychedelic Pretty Woman.

I swear the shop in the beginning of this vid is in Carnaby street.

I heard Lewis Collins was once in this band... is that true?

English band?

@truethought62 - Yes, I actually own that LP. Nice try, and give 'em credit for good taste, but the Eyes original version is considerably better. As far as the geneology of the main guitar riff, it's clearly based on the Who's "Can't Explain", which in turn is based on the Kinks "You Really Got Me", which can be traced back to the Kingsmen "Louie Louie"...

The Clash, I think, kind of had a healthy knowledge of rock n roll, not entirely, but enough, it sounds like they borrowed this riff for 'Clash City Rockers?'
