@26 seconds, that dark haired guy in the audience, the one with the beard…he looked familiar but I knew he was not familiar at all because he was from New Zealand, but then I realized that he really looks like George Lutz of the Amityville Horror.
If they only knew back then that we would be watching this 40 years later and them just as popular now…Good music does not go out of style and whatever problems they had with each other, the music has not died. I hope 1,000 years from now people will still be listening to Kenny Rogers and the First Edition.
Your wrong. What launched him was a mega hot psycho hit in 1968 called "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition was In). Check it out. Top 10 Billboard.
This concert took place in New Zealand, and it is a part of a 1974 documentary film called Rollin in New Zealand with Kenny Rogers And The First Edition. If you go to the website nzonscreen you can find it! It's really a very good documentary, and Kenny and the band talk and travel with the local citizens. Songs from, "The Ballad of Calico" are also played in the film! If you liked that era of Kenny Rogers then be ready to be entertained as I believe that you are going to enjoy it.
Where was this performance of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition recorded? Does anybody perhaps know because I think I was at this concert. I think I see myself in the audience. Was it at the John Wayne Theatre at Knott's Berry Farm in Orange county near LA.?
:27 " black guys,help the white guys"
Everything about this is just fantastic!
When did Kenny stop using glasses?
❤
RIP Kenny
In heaven.
A rock version – cool!

Mickey Jones looked nothing like a drummer with those big arms, but he was good.
I think the camera person didn't know which one was Kenny.
amazing

The song, "Something's Burning" in the winter of 1969 really launched Kenny Rogers career in the right musical direction.
