Van (the Man) has many songs that seem to have been relegated to the dustbin of rock history. Here's one:

“St Domenic’s Preview” is a favorite album of mine.
 
Not too long ago but perhaps forgotten...love Mona on the box...(clean version) You Did It!

Way too many great songs in my rear view mirror. Here's one from the Steve Miller Band:

quote from Miles Davis about Steve Miller............

I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-axx cat named Steve Miller. Steve Miller didn't have his sxxt going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing motherfxxxer just because he had one or two sorry-axx records out. So I would come late and he would have to go on first and then we got there we smoked the motherfxxxxking place, everybody dug it.”​

A little nostalgia. Back in my UConn days ( or daze), there was a great local band that played frat parties. From South Windsor, led by guitarist big Al Anderson, who later played with NRBQ, this was their biggest hit. Brings back memories every time I hear it.

Good call @Aluminny69 simply a great song and not a typical 3 / 4 chord song of those days, very well done. If I may add to nostalgia along with yours, I saw The Wild Weeds In Middletown on Main St on the upper level parking garage behind Sears in 1967. My early teens and they were simply astounding to myself and a few friends. They covered The Letter by The Box Tops which was all over the radio that summer so well and being young I thought it was their song.
Box Tops number 1 for four weeks. That and covered well by Joe Cocker and others down the road.

 
I didn't realize Pete Seeger had a TV show till I came across an episode with Richard and Mimi Farina several years ago. Here's one set of tunes from that show, Dopico and Celebration for a Grey Day, which they played in Newport around the same time.

 
Oscar Peterson in 1974.
Perhaps the greatest solo played in the 20th century.
 
Bad Motor Scooter.
Ronnie Montrose and Sammy Hagar.
1973.
