Funny you should mention this song. It's still good, and "Rubber Soul," the album this song was on, was the only Beatles album I liked enough to own. Here's another few minutes of nostalgia (for some of us).
I'm Looking Through You by The Beatles

As soon as I could scrape some money together... still at school... I bought a record player and "Beatles for sale" album... bought them all from then as they came out.. and all the 45's..... and Paul McCartney, Wings etc.... also later bought them all on CD
I still play all the albums.. or at least songs off them... different music as they progressed.. but all good.

I liked all the "British Invasion" groups.... but not enough to buy albums or even 45's... I did buy a few.
As I mentioned in the thread I did while on vacation "Rumpole at Large" one of the highlights of tourist stuff in London.. was a Rock Music walking tour... sites significant to several of the groups back then. It was great for me to see stuff like that... the building in Savile Row where Beatles did roof top Concert ( their last performance all together as it happened) etc....

Cream... I was big on... and of course Eric Clapton after that
"Blind Faith" (Wikepedia)
Quote:
Blind Faith were an English blues rock band that comprised Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech. The band, which was one of the first "super-groups", released their only album, Blind Faith, in August 1969. They were stylistically similar to the bands in which Winwood, Baker, and Clapton had most recently participated, Traffic and Cream. They helped to pioneer the genre of blues/rock fusion.

That must have been a blast doing that walking tour! I had no idea this was their last concert together. Looks like an awful lot of bobbies for comfort

Small Faces were an English rock band from London. The group was founded in 1965 by members Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, and Jimmy Winston, although by 1966 Winston was replaced by Ian McLagan as the band's keyboardist.
The band is remembered as one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s. With memorable hit songs such as "Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday", "All or Nothing", "Tin Soldier", and their concept album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, they later evolved into one of the UK's most successful psychedelic acts before disbanding in 1969. After the Small Faces disbanded, with Marriott leaving to form Humble Pie, the remaining three members were joined by Ronnie Wood as guitarist, and Rod Stewart as their lead vocalist, both from The Jeff Beck Group, and the new line-up was renamed Faces. A revived version of the original Small Faces existed from 1975 to 1978.
Small Faces are also acknowledged as being one of the biggest original influences on the Britpop movement of the 1990s.Despite the fact the band were together just four years in their original incarnation, the Small Faces' music output from the mid to late sixties remains among the most acclaimed British mod and psychedelic music of that era.
