Beyond the Sound Barrier!!!

From tv's Hullabaloo, in late 1965, it's the original incarnation of The Rolling Stones and their don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-it version of "She Said Yeah!".



Apart from the fact that the band just looks so cool it's frightening, I would like to note here, and for the record, that the entire performance clocks in at 1:38.

Let me repeat -- 1:38.

Hey -- if there's a more exciting one minute and thirty-eight seconds of anything anywhere else in all of recorded human history then I, for one, am unaware of it.

    Not live but a different version then the album track. Great find.

    Mick has still not worked out all of his Tina Turner dance moves yet.

    ROTP(lumber)

    lip-synched? Keith also has a broken guitar string and wasn't Hullabaloo in color?

    This however exciting doesn't pass the smell test.

    The only contender that comes up in my iTunes library is "Ready Teddy" by Buddy Holly at 1:33 ("She Said Yeah" clocks in at 1:35 there).(Little Richards version is over 2 minutes).

    "Stay" by Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs. Shortest #1 song in U.S. history. I'll take it over "She Said Yeah" any time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Z_hskvz1M

    It's interesting that the photographers of the show didn't get one tight shot of Brian Jones.

    undoubtedly the loudest thing heard in Brooklyn that year. LR

    Fortunately my loss of virginity wasn't recorded.
