Just got home from Heilung at Brixton Academy.

If you ever get the chance, see them. Stunning.

Two versions of a great song which encapsulates the spirit of sixties psychedelia.

The original is by The Chocolate Watchband who were one of the pioneering bands of the genre and were based in San Francisco , with a great accompanying video of footage from the time shot in the Haight-Ashbury district.

The second version is a brilliant live rendition by The Kinks , along with a short intro from Ray Davies. (Sadly audio only.)

I thought it was originally a kinks song covered by the chocolate watchband? Either way a great song. The song it was a b-side to was sunny afternoon, another great tune
