This song by one of the British invasion’s most unusual bands is often cited as the beginning of punk rock. Here Once again I am showing footage from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. I distinctly remember watching this episode with it’s smoke bombs, falling drums and guitar destruction by Pete Townsend. Don’t worry, that’s a prop and not Tommy Smothers’ Guild acoustic guitar. You will hear the first bass solo in the history of rock and roll as played by John Entwhistle.
