as tight a band as was possible.... guitar leads insane! and the bass runs all over... I was 15 when this came out and they blew everyone else out of the water when it came to rockin it
I was there when this was filmed. I moved into the upstairs apartment above the Whiskey in 1964, and kept the crib until around 1974 or '75, too old to remember anymore. Matter of fact I helped hang up one of the cages. Good daze back then.
I was twenty years old back then. They were breifly the number one blue eyed soul group at that time. Their record company and the group ended up having to pay Little Richard a fortune.
riding around in a 55 chevy with 6 pack Coors dragging the streets in AC kansas when this song was on WKY or KOMA OKlahoma city . GREAT TIMES 1964/1965 . would love to live them times again .
Saw them live in '67 at my first outdoor concert, if you could call it that, in Oak Lawn, Illinois. Was just a small fenced in field. The sound was rock'n and I've never stopped rock'n to them!
@@user-xc2ss4pg7b UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ..... NOT TRYING TO BE NEGATIVE OR EVEN CONTRARY WITH YOU..... BUT BOB CREWE WAS A DEFINITE DETRIMENT TO MITCH RYDER. IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!!!!! IT DID NOT TAKE LONG FOR MITCH TO REGRET HIS DECISION TO GO WITH OLE' BOB CREWE! HE HAD TALKED MITCH INTO DROPPING THE DETROIT WHEELS..... FIRST OF ALL. BAD IDEA. THEN.... HE BEGAN TO " REARRANGE " MITCH'S CAREER. HAVING HIM SING SONGS THAT WERE MORE SUITED FOR A CABARET SINGER. NOW..... DO NOT GET ME WRONG. MITCH COULD DEFINITELY PUT OUT SOME GREAT-SOUNDING SONGS THAT MAYBE WERE BETTER SUITED FOR A CABARET OR A NIGHTCLUB SINGER. HIS VOICE WAS THAT GOOD! BUT..... CREWE'S IDEAS WERE NOT GOOD FOR MITCH. TO WRAP IT UP ( I BET YOU ARE GLAD!!! )..... MITCH ENDED UP SUING BOB CREWE. UNFORTUNATELY..... MITCH LOST
@@user-xc2ss4pg7b Oh.... but.....by the way.....I DO believe that Bob Crewe WAS a good record producer. However...... He JUST WAS NOT GOOD FOR MITCH RYDER
Yeah a decent bass line. But the real stars on this tune are lead guitarist Jim McCarty and drummer Johnny B. And of course Mitch. Huge talent in this band mostly wasted on covers. Probably the best song that came out in 1965, a great year for rock and roll.
@@dsparkman6315 Y 2:15 es. This is my FAVORITE song 😂 of Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels!!!! I was absolutely GA-GA when I saw Mitch Ryder for the first time!!!!!! WOW. I was only 14 years old..... probably going on 15 years old. Mitch just simply CAUGHT MY ATTENTION!!!!! And, yes..... I know that the one guitarist was Jim McCarty (spell?). He was a really REALLY good musician. AND I have come to recognize John Batanjek ( I do believe that I MAY HAVE misspelled HIS last name.... but.... certainly NOT ON PURPOSE! ). I have heard only GOOD praises about BOTH of those musicians! Yes! Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels!!!!! One of the " kickin-est " bands EVER!!!! To me they were!!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
@@carlloud1187 HEY! I am in my 70's!!!!!! 71 to be exact! But... I can STILL remember this!!! Mitch Ryder simply CAUGHT MY ATTENTION with this!!!! One of the best-looking and one of the best soul/rock singers EVER!!!!!
I was one of the dancers. After that they recruited me to be an astronaut in ‘68. Consequently, Mao Tse Tung hired me as operations manager for the cultural revolution’s 3rd phase.
Where is the BASS PLAYER?? And yes, they were lip synching. Where is the keyboardist? Nevertheless, one of the hottest videos ever to appear on CZcams.

VIGOROUS go-go dancing during the “Hullabaloo A Go-Go” portion of the national TV show “Hullabaloo”. I approve wholeheartedly.
Mitch made Jagger look like he was sleepwalking!
Truly a rockin band back then, always hot & fast!! 💥❤️
This song has so much energy. Popped into my head today and I just had to take a walk down memory lane.

WOW!!!

Double WOW!
Meaning the cages in which the ladies done their moves ?
Just wow !
He beats them all what a singer.
YOU SAID IT!!!
Great group my teen years!! 💯🎵
Mitch and Johnny B TEARING It UP in 65'
One of the BEST backup bands EVER! That drummer and organ guy are the best!
Listen to that Bass line, OMG!!!!!
@@jurassicrock1950 yeah man the bass player is slaying it,earl elliot is his name and he rocks hard
what a powerhouse rhythm section in this band!! they are rockin' real hard!!
Yes Michael... totally agree!
I was twenty years old back then. They were breifly the number one blue eyed soul group at that time. Their record company and the group ended up having to pay Little Richard a fortune.
One of my favorite rock songs of all time , save Satisfaction, by Mick Jagger & the Rolling Stones 😊 !
Mitch's voice is pure Rock and Roll
pure blue-eyed soul is more like it

I woke up to this song on my radio just this morning. It's great
This song changed Rock and roll it upped the standard.
Great combination of musicianship, production skill and studio engineering!!
Mitch killed it, love that guy saw him in Saginaw, Michigan when I was in kindergarten 1966 it was at Delta college, thx Mitch!!!
Love how the backup is singing "C Mitch Ryder"in the first verse. Such a rockin' number....!
I noticed that!!!
Saw them live in '67 at my first outdoor concert, if you could call it that, in Oak Lawn, Illinois. Was just a small fenced in field. The sound was rock'n and I've never stopped rock'n to them!
Hey old timer, that must have been some party..
Mitch really brought the soul for a white boy! And the coming shredding greatness by Jim McCarty was already starting to show.
Here because i heard it in Once Upon a time in Hollywood 😎
CC Rider was a popular song even in the mid-seventies.
Remembering this blaring from my car radio.
Amazing Go-Go dancers.... 😊 safety at its 1960s fabulous worst.. Love it... 😍😻🙌🏻🙏🏻
some ones grandmother is hot....
best go-go dancers ever
What a blast participating in this recording!! Jimmy McCarty is soon talented!!
Watching you and everyone dancing at 120 BPM is awesome! 😎 Born too late...1964✌️
The bass line makes this song ...he "walks" it masterfully!
This bass is driving the tune very well.
He never stops, just keeps drivin'
The rhythm section is so killer on this song!
The bass playing is fantastic. Who is the bass player: Earl Elliot or Jim McCallister? Thanks.
Walkin the Dog is my favorite song of theirs.
I put uncountable quarters in jukeboxes for this group. Down & out Boogie ..
EVERYTHING.....was better then!...
I remember this from my last life 😆
Rock and Roll will always be in our lives.
I was your momma in your last life
THAT'S ROCK and ROLL!
the birth of motor city's high energy rock tradition.
WOW....what a workout !!!!!
Awesome 👌 jumping music 🎶 👌
Love this track 😎
The best - to dance to all night long !!!
Saw them in concert back in late sixties
those girls are ready to fly out of there
What a great name for a band !
You can credit Bob Crewe, the GENIUS!

Que bonita época
Gracias!♥️ Es mi época en el año 1965 tenía 15 años. Ahora tengo 73 y todavía me encanta mi música de esta época asta que muera.♥️🎵😘🇺🇸🇲🇽
you can't go wrong with this one
The band displays relentless, unbridled impetus, and even reaches a notch higher when it segues into Jenny, Jenny at 1:43
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH....... YOU SURE SAID IT!!!!!
It’s awesome!
@@kennethberger5864 Yes it is, and then some! 🙂
I can’t get over how good looking everyone was then.
I KNOW!!!
Especially Mitch!!!
Yeah...and they're all in their 70's now!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...... YEAH!!!!!!!

Unique voice.
Now watch his 2022 performance on The Lost Tamarack Stage. Incredible guy!
Jim McCarty
I was one of the dancers. After that they recruited me to be an astronaut in ‘68. Consequently, Mao Tse Tung hired me as operations manager for the cultural revolution’s 3rd phase.
Wow!
This Jenny song totally influenced Ted’s “Catscratch Fever”
At 1:18, Mitch scoping on Lada St Edmund..😎
You mean the brunette?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yup, me too.
Yes I am here after watching Ted Nugent on Joe Rogan.....
Same here. Just had to see the roots of his CC Rider Guitar lick.
Same
Yup
One more here 🙌
Me too
I'm here because of Ted Nugent on JRE
For the "Hot Violinist." Wink.
When the band chorus, they should sing "CC Rider" but actually change it to "See Mitch Ryder"
One word - YOWSA!
Jai sri Govinda
The joe rogan podcast featuring Ted Nugent brought me here
Ted Nugent sent me
So WHY are comments ok here but NOT on the other version with the actual audio
Hare Krishna
Wow. They had women in cages in my birth year.
But i thought it was Jimmy McCarty

How many people hate directors and choreographers for distracting from the Detroit Wheels lip syncing. Where was Johnny Bee on drums?
Where is the BASS PLAYER?? And yes, they were lip synching. Where is the keyboardist? Nevertheless, one of the hottest videos ever to appear on CZcams.
What are those dancers On
The Detroit Wheels!
What a perfect combination of vocals, band, songs & production!!
Great medley of two classic songs. The dancers in front of the band are a distraction.
Good song, video not so much.
