The word "teen" is mentioned 8 times. No beatniks or hipsters, please.

Hey, before the Bob Seger System of "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" fame there was Bob Seger and the Last Herd.

Ugh. "Spring Fever". They went into heavy concept. They went into hippie dippy "Hey man that's deep" territory. In 1968 the Sun was setting on the Golden Age of Garage. But let's not worry about that - it's still 1966 in the garage playlist:

WUOG 90.5 FM - University of Georgia - Athens GA

Love this photo: What looks to be (only) two amps "on stage" (ie, next to the lockers in a school hallway), one of which is connected to the "organ" but which is @ least partically covered by some sort of material -- bags, covers, etc. -- the other appearing to be plugged in @ the geetar (only), the "fat kid" -- likely the bass player -- standing next to the geetarist ain' plugged into nuthin'. Note that the drumer's got the "cool Carnaby Street style shoes" ala The Fab Four, etc. True story: I remember as a kid circa '65-'66 being absolutely mad about that style footwear, the shoes and the (so-called) "Beatle boots" variants... Never did get a pair (shoes or boots) back the; moreover, by the early '70s you couldn't have paid me to wear such rididulous footwear. Our (cobb) salad days...
 
^^^^ note: If anyone's interested in the "bands" represented @ this compilation, ping me, either here or @ "convos", and I'll append this post w/ the list of artist (and track) names. Of course y'all could do this on yer own @ Discogs -- all five volumes of this comp set are listed there.

Heh that's real garage. thanks for pointing out the amps.

I had a pair of Beatle-esque boots in the 80's, when they were tres chic again thanks to bands like The Church and Spy vs Spy down here. They were a suede winklepicker chelsea style, very comfortable but didn't last long in those beer soaked pubs.

Sort of like this, but in black..
