Live On Tour - 1966!The StandellsGenre: PopDescription: The Standells' amazing string of punkish tough-guy anthems like Dirty Water and Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White define the legacy of mid-sixties garage rock like nothing else. With the success of these records came '66 tours with the Rolling Stones and Beach Boys. From all reports the Standells proved a superb live act. But for decades their on-stage reputation rested on an earlier Pre-Tower label live album documenting the Standells in an unrecognizably clean-cut night club incarnation. But there's a happy ending to this story. It turns out the Standells were in fact recorded at their peak LIVE ON TOUR-1966! At last here's the whole knock-out live act from the year the Standells stormed the charts. All the '66 hits are here including Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White Why Pick on Me? and of course Dirty Water (in tremendous versions all of them). Fan faves are also on board like the fuzzed-out Mr. Nobody and stomping Why Did You Hurt Me. Highlights also include high energy covers of Midnight Hour and Please Please Please to name just a few of these crowd-pleasers showcasing the Standells' R&B roots updated with '66 sheen. Hearing the Standells' road-tested extended take on Gloria is not to be missed either! Rescued from a professionally recorded concert at the University of Michigan the Standells are captured in astonishingly clean sound that rivals their legendary studio recordings. This may just be the finest recorded example of vintage live '66 American garage rock. It's all here the Standells in brilliant sound and in a superb package including rare photos and liner notes.
