The Standells amazing string of punkish, tough-guy anthems, like Dirty Water and Sometimes Good Guys Dont 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 theres a happy ending to this story. It turns out the Standells were in fact recorded at their peak, LIVE ON TOUR-1966! At last, heres the whole knock-out live act from the year the Standells stormed the charts. All the 66 hits are here including Sometimes Good Guys Dont 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. Its all here, the Standells in brilliant sound and in a superb package including rare photos and liner notes Also available on compact disc!
