MC5 - Looking At You Lyrics

These guys are Amazing.

Fucking legendary.

I've got a Free Wayne Kramer badge somewhere!

Tighter than the London symphony orchestra. Stunning and the crowd look stunned too or stoned or both. One of the best clips on YouTube EVER!!!

All I can say is holy fuck!!!!

The Damned brought me here

Early Mars Volta

This is legendary!

No one played like these motherfuckers played.

I am the girl in between the speakers behind the drums..I have a big story to tell that goes beyond my MC5 all the way to PinK Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc. read about Who I am here.https://publiusenigma.blog/2019/10/11/the-music-journey-begins/

Many comments here insinuating that listening and watching the MC5 as this audience does is not an appropriate reaction. That listening and watching the MC5 somehow means that they don't get it. Too many commentators assuming they have been inside the brains of the audience and have arrogantly concluded that they weren't ready for it. And then in the same comment wonder why there aren't bands like the MC5 anymore.

the audience looking and thinking... whats that noise????

well, that's OUR times, dropping in and dropping out, and here the audience is even a calm one...wait until the night...in rapture we go...there was no time to lose...

We were the jams.

Its such a shame Detroit didn't support this Band!!

crowd should have been slam dancing

Ugh, I was born in the wrong decade...

Check the crowd. Now thats what ahead of their tome means. Actualy nowadays we still pretty lame

This video oozes timelessness. Somewhere in time this show is still going on. Its unreal, really, when you watch this in its black and white perfection. The beach ball bounding up and you are there. This video is a portal to that day back in 1970.

BANDA MUITO FODA.

You can look here, there, everywhere--starting inside yr granny’s knickers?--but you will not find a music vid that boils everything down like this--tyner’s leer ped pleadings, fred’s satanic anchorage, and the impish wayne, like archangel michael, slaying all of our ubiquitous quotidien sorrow and malaise and regret. Like a scythe, his second solo elevates us--the hair on our balding heads, our skin raised beyond the cancerous age spots, our low hanging testes, our hearts dead to life but freed here--hard and heavy, the way i like it, bitchez, heated and homespun. Suddenly, in the distance a beach ball is floating, god’s last teardrop.

Happy bd wayne. The man

thank you Brothers

I used to cure my hangover with this song + "Over and over" on max volume in the early 80s and in my early 20s. It worked out perfectly. And once we were about 20 guys (the girls hadn't shown up yet) in a small living room dancing to this song. It was ecstatic! So many great memories when the MC5 made it happen. Thank you! I wish had heard you when I was even younger.

I was 9 years old in 1970. Wish I'd have listened to this back then.

Wayne Kramer. BAM.

Great performance from legendary band from > *Detroit* <

DETROIT: the home of some of the best rock and roll bands of all time👍

LAME-ASS CROWD!!

This is the closest I have been to feeling all right...just thinking about those daE..Belle isle..grande...ficf fhnst hcsi

Holy shit

Made me realize......... ( I love it)

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pre Punk

furiousness for a fucked up time. Vietnam, Nixon, Inflation. Tectonic Video that definitely kicks out the jams....

heavy and raw

They might have gone further than they did if they had of had a decent frontman. That guy's vocals are brutal, and he looks like a fucking goof!

what's so sad is we,ll never have freedom of park concerts n public shows,now it's all permits,no this no that...thnx for this chunk of history here.. miss it..

These guys ran full throttle from the count. This must be what its like to ride a rocket into orbit ,the musicianship and raw, guttural energy is top class.

drummer is driving the bus

Look at those amps!!!

Oh yeah now I remember why I loved these guys. Forget the Ramones, this is where punk really got started.

Proto- punk be like

From the brilliant documentary The MC5: A True Testimonial...which is impossible to find anywhere. What a fucking band. This one for my old friend Neil.His favourite guitar solo ever. Yes indeed. Wayne Kramer was possibly the coolest kid of the entire 1960's. and that is saying something. He grew up to be one of the coolest men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Enough said.

Nobody is feeling it for a reason...perhaps its soulless nonsense.

I watch these MC5 clips....such a tiny % of audience members look like they know what's even happening. Love for Wayne Kramer, and his stage moves...fantastic .! Fancy James Brown footwork.

Heavy metal Motown

A Testimonial to Everything Detroit- High Energy-Balls to the Wall- All outor NOTHING.

Deniz Tek totally ripped of Brother Wayne's flurry of 1/4 note pull off's in his solo for "descent into the malestrom". but thats ok. like breeds like. long live the MC5.

Extraordinaire !!!!

Notice All the white faces and the black faces rocking a peace punk revolution together. A time when we all listened to one type of music....

The Beginning. But certainly not the End....

Oh man lead guitar went crazy. This must have been such a kickass gig!

It never fails to amaze me the amount of talent and music trend-setting that came out of Detroit. I saw a lot of Detroit rock groups from this era before they made it big but I will never, ever forgive myself for not going to see the Mowtown artists when they were popular. When I see some of the old Mowtown videos on Youtube, I just want to kick myself.

1968 MC5 supperted Deep Purple in Detroit and soon DP started to follow MC5 musically (especially on "InRock") and Blackmore copied the Wayne`s stage antics (00:28) one to one.

That's it--no more morning coffee. Starting each day with this.

These fuckers were years ahead of the Stooges, Alice Cooper, Grand Funk (not saying these bands didn't deserve their fame) but why did MC5 fizzle out and just became a footnote in Detroit rock. Shame.

reaction of the people remind me movie Back in the future

It will never be better than the MC5

And at least one of them is still plugging away: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8482559/wayne-kramer-mc5-kick-out-the-jams-50th-anniversary-concert

It beautiful

00:18 How the fuck did omar rodriguez find a time machine to go back amd stand on stage next to wayne..?

Reaction of the people on the music reminds me movie Back To the futures when Rock and Roll was plays

it takes until 1990's and Guns And Roses to understand that kind of music

They are The killers hippies . Full of destroying energy. Raw punk rock’n’roll

Magine, 63 morons gave this magnificance a thumbs down!

so good now..after 48 years
great song

the soul of detroit

the world was not ready for MC5 and prob never will be

I'm from Detroit and saw the band half a dozen times. Had to be peeled off the wall every time after the show!

That's the definition of rock'n roll....🤘

Roland Kobelbauer job

everybody's just standing there looking like fuckin' goons.

MC50 tonight at the Recency San Fran baby!! All I WANT to do is dance with Wayne Kramer tonight!!

Saw them in San Diego, it blew me away how lucid, energetic and lively Wayne Kramer is after all the decades of shit and grime he went through! Amazing show, amazing band! With marcus from Zen Guerilla probably being the best possible Rob Tyner fill-in out there!

You can tell kramer is one of tom morelos heroes. Tom uses some of the techniques used here

They were the true "godfathers"of punk

Not only a helluva good guitarist, Wayne had some serious footwork skills for a rocker!

What were the crowd expecting to see here?? MC5 gave a flawless performance and killed it in the good way. I would have been floored.

They were!

looking at you on lively spot is a studio recording? equally great to live

Kramer at 03:40. Bye bye Hendrix bye bye Townsend

LOL! You got that right!

Rock and Roll

Never has a band had such a heavy hard rock sound that could make you dance your ass off at the same time! Motown meets Metal! Mc5 forever!

At the drive in! Lol!🤟🤟

There's an album version of this that in no way captures the excitement of this live version.

wow,i can see my 14 yr old self in this !,I still remember this concert like it was yesterday

God damn the MC5 were so fucking cool

Notice the college crowd not rocking at all. Strange. Repressed?

Gobsmacked!

too good and powerful for words really...

Fred Smith . . . cool without trying

WE ARE THE MC5!!!!!!

Bass player has got the Romone thing going.

No, the Ramones got the Mike Davis thing going!
