Three Dog Night had an amazingly bright 70s sound, with tenor harmonies, incredible energy (better living through chemistry perhaps?), great songwriting and arranging, rich Hammond organ and those wonderful Leslie Speaker Systems, musical, polished wood carpentry which spun sounds all over the place in a three-dimensional, full-immersion, heaven-like experience. Plain guitar, horse-kickin' drums, and memorable sing-along party songs.
This live performance of "Mama Told Me Not To Come" is a true classic, replete with spooky guitar sound effects and video fog...the verses are dreamlike, but the refrain pops out like a fast left-hook, in a solid, tight wall of wailing harmony.
Enjoy it. The video's every superb, and is truly representative of this prolific group of performers who graced a fabulously rich and revolutionary musical era. Then again, they also performed "Joy to the World," but we won't talk about that here...
