Damm this version is the best

I was sweet 16 in 1966 now im sour 74 loved the song still do 😂

Yes, that's my youth!

As a teen in the sixties I was living with my parents who were in the RAF at Northolt. I was crazy about the Troggs and if they ever appeared within travelling distance I would go to their gigs. I looked up my diaries and these are the venues I saw them performing - 21 May 1967 Starlite Greenford , 7 March 1967 ,Adelphi Slough, 6 May 1966, Town Hall High Wycombe 21June 1966 Starlite Ballroom Greenford 17 July 1966 Marquee London 26 July 1966. In the autumn of 1967 I had met a Swedish girl and on a visit to Sweden I saw them there in Stockholm in October 1967, Such happy memories

With the Troggs you know it has to be good. RIP Reg.

Great singer and guitarist. 👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰

One of the most underrated & under appreciated bands of the sixties.

I don't know if they are underrated or not, but wild thing is one of the most iconic songs of all time. Jimi Hendrix played wild thing before he sacrificed his 🎸 at Monterey pop festival by lighting it on 🔥.

The music was good in the 60's bands like the Troggs, The Zombies,The Tremalos to name a few were just apart of our daily lives. You never know how good you have it till it's gone..Rip Reg!

I don't want him to RIP but to keep rocking!!!🙌🙌🙌

Well said. I laugh when I hear the term "turned over in their grave" They need to turn over because there' stiff. That's all.

Simple and brilliant. Simply brilliant.

In my opinion, Wild Thing was the number one song in 1966.

Love it! From the best decade of music.

WHEN YOUR GOOD YOUR GOOD YEH THE TROGGS WERE AMAZINGLY GOOD WILD THING ITHINK I LOVE YOU ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

You know it's an amazing song when Hendrix covers it and turns it into a 7 minute acid fueled banger.

They still had it after 31 years .......

These guys knew how to rock.

I'm just here for the blistering ocarina solo....FAR OUT, mannnn.

A Chip Taylor song, but how powerfull. The Troggs rule!

Rhythm guitar overshot the third chord of the verse, oops. But I wanted to check out the Ocarina solo on this one. It's a clear shot of him playing it

Absolutely unbelievable they were so very much the same! Time is a relative thingy for the Great Ones, isn't it?

IT IS NOT THE REAL ORIGINAL VERSION. YOU TRANSFORMED IT, BY A LATER INFLUENCE, HARD ROCK. SO IT IS RATHER A KINDVOF HARD ROCK VERSION. AND I PREFER THE SMOOTHER ORGINAL 1966 VERSION. SO IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL VERSION. I AM MYSELF REALLY POST- HARD ROCK. AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC IS THEREFORE IN MANY INSTANCES BETTER THAN THIS TYPE OF HSRD ROCK, WITH EVEN NOTHING ELECTRONIC IN IT, AS IT IS THE CASE FOR LINKING PARK OR LIMP BISCUIT (MY WAY FIR EXAMPLE). I AM NOT REALLY IN THIS TYPE OF MUDIC OF THE 70S. BETTER THEREFORE THE ORIGINAL.

Luigi, you don't have to shout when saying that you don't like this version of a classic rock song. The Troggs were not a hard rock band neither a metal band. In the sixties there were many bands that play rock songs; The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Easybeats to name a few. Of course, this is not the original version, it is a live concert, played 31 years later! I think that Reg and his band The Troggs played a very nice gig in the 90's. Telling me that I transformed the music in this video is ridiculous and not true.

позорненько

And the yanks and euros say no UK culture................

By this time they'd had 30 years to learn to play this stuff live and they still didn't quite manage it. Troggs = Poor musicians, decent songwriters.
