I've been doing some research for a podcast thing I'm gonna launch soon (watch this space!), and happened upon this.
It's the New Riders of the Purple Sage (with Jerry Garcia on pedal steel) doing a short, but sincere (the singer knows all the words..) version of "Fun Fun Fun", the night AFTER the Beach Boys did it at the Fillmore East. I'd categorize it as a tribute, not a mock.
(For the record, though I like some eras of the Dead a lot, and I like Nesmith's and Parsons' brand of country rock, I really can't stomach New Riders of the Purple Sage. Totally lifeless. Still, scroll down to Fun Fun Fun and enjoy the next minute and 10 seconds. They even get the change right on the chorus!).

Oh man, I'm sorry--I got lost in other things and forgot to reply.

1) Gabor Szabo? I need to see what he's all about.
2) Here's the video I created to accompany Tork interrupting the Dead's Monterey set:

3) and here's the Dead doing Viola Lee Blues--literally at the last 2 seconds you can see Tork walking out on stage--I wish a better quality version of this would surface...

thanks, and I'll try to keep on top of stuff from now on....

I, too, used to cringe at "How She Boogalooed It", until it dawned on me:
Lindsey Buckingham owes a huge debt to that song. Think of some of his Tusk songs--"The Ledge", "That's Enough For Me" and his solo stuff like "That's How We Do It in L.A.".  They wouldn't exist without this song. That's my theory, anyway.
Not that Buckingham's seal of approval means a song is good (that'd be a strange world) but it gives some weight and context to the song's legacy.

On the other hand, I think "Country Air" is a great idea that doesn't go anywhere.

So, having said that, my top three from Wild Honey:

1) I'd Love Just Once to See You
2) Aren't You Glad (90's indie pop in one song. Papas Fritas etc)
3) Let the Wind Blow

Hello, and this is my first post. Good to be here. Apparently some here enjoyed a blog post I wrote about the BBs and Kinks parallel "golden era"s (best music, worst sales). Anyway...Monterey. A few thoughts:

1) I think a well-played Beach Boys set at Monterey would have been regarded similarly to The Association's set.
Nice, but not game-changing (me, I'd rather watch The Association's dorky "Association Machine" schtick than the Hendrix guitar burning.)
2) Who were the big noises at Monterey? The ones who broke stuff. The Dead were given a prime slot, but no one remembers them because they only played songs.
3) The video on You Tube of the Dead's "Viola Lee Blues" at Monterey (a poor quality outtake) ends with them all up against their amps, making pure feedback--their early love of noise isn't usually part of their legacy.
4) In the last 2 seconds of that clip, you see someone walking onstage. Who's that? PETER TORK!!
5) WHY OH WHY doesn't film exist of that awkward 2 minutes where Tork kind of tries to admonish the crowd for getting rowdy while Phil Lesh tells Tork that he's gotta chill out. I made a YouTube clip of the audio of that interlude, but I've never seen a photo or a clip.
6) The Monkees at Monterey would have kicked ass.
Ever hear I'm Not Your Stepping Stone from their summer '67 tour?
It's closer to the Velvet Underground or Syd-era Floyd. Unhinged!
7) Top 5 "wish they were there"s of Monterey:
1) Monkees 2) Kinks 3) Velvet Underground 4) Beach Boys 5) Pink Floyd
