THE ASSOCIATION (1983) - Live in Concert

My favorite is :) Windy.

Such a great band / vocals!

Yes, the Association was an amazing group. Loved their music as a 12 year old and still do going on 70. Going on 69 to be exact.

Is that a Hammond organ I'm hearing?? Huzzah! 🎶🎵🎶

My eldest sister especially loved these guys. For their time period, I can say they were Masters of the music they produced. They truly did have a unique sound that made them standout.

Geez-Requiem for the Masses is STILL chilling.

One of the best bands of all time

I was too young to appreciate them.
Now listening today's crap I wish I was!

What a voice Larry had. RIP.

Yes, Windy is​ my song​..... 🤩💖

Larry Ramos-my favorite. Saw them in concert in the 80's.

The writer of this song Tandyn Almer was a downstairs tennant. The best wordsmith I ever met. Look up the lyrics of this song. He went to write songs for the Beach Boys like Sail On, Sailor.

Thanks for posting. Is this available on dvd or blu ray ? How about on cd ?

Jim Yester sounds so great, as do all the guys harmonizing. Even a better version than their original, this sounds a little more grounded in their maturing over the years. Flawless harmonies, such unusual instruments for “rock” musicians. Golly, and no autotune!😆💕💕❤️💕

What a sexy man Larry Ramos was
No with God

Requiem for the masses just as touching 😢in 83 as it was in 67 on the Smothers Brothers. As it would be today.

Live ?

My first time hearing, and seeing, these guys other than via radio; they really were top notch musos and vocalists. Thanks, DOJOTONE.

What just happened?

No doubt about it, they were on top of their game in this performance! I never realized how versatile Terry was, and Larry Ramos was an underrated guitarist, and Ted’s vocals were surprisingly good. Jim Yester, Brian Cole (RIP), all those guys were top notch musicians.

I was watching TV with my dad and we saw the Association perform this song. My dad asked who was this group, and I told him it was the Association,, He said that they should disassociate I told my dad, who was a country music fan, that this was a number one song. Rest in Peace Dad.

A 60s kid when they had their heyday, " Along Comes Mary" is my favorite Association song, RIP Larry Ramos, the fact that this group is not in the RHOF is a travesty..

The Association: The most underrated Band of the late 60s, they were so good as good as Zappa.

That standing ovation was well deserved.

Just a 'stone cold original'----The Association! I have such affection for these Barefoot Gentlemen---Birthday being their album of greatest achievement! The song 'Under Branches' from another remarkable work of art, simply entitled: Association or sometimes referred to as 'The Stonehedge' album is a forever classic! Sadly, so little if any airtime devoted to these GREAT works!

WINDY" WAS MY 1ST DOG(SHELTY/SHEPARD MIX), DRIVING HOME IN MY "1963 BRITISH RACING GREEN THUNDERBIRD W/390 C.I.WINDSOR ENGINE, TAPPED CAR IN FRONT AT LIGHT WHILE TALKING TO " WINDY" IN BACK(JUST "ADOPTED " HER FROM " BIDA WEE ANIMAL SHELTER, IN WANTAGH, LONG ISLAND.OF COURSE,"WINDY" WAS PLAYING ON THE RADIO-HENCE, HER NAME.: " EVERY ONE KNEW IT WAS WINDY".

Terry & Larry

Played the song Cherish and Never my Love too fast... The first song and Wendy was cool

An unusual group for the times, but gave us many great songs. "Windy" is my favorite, but there are many others.

Love this music! 💚🎸

I believe "Along Comes Mary" was the VERY FIRST song played at the original Monterey Pop Festival - the FIRST rock festival! Brilliant band, especially vocally.

WOW! True musical geniuses!

my favorite group in years 70s a record created song famous & popular never my love 💖

Such wonderful harmonies.

The poor drummer doesn't the credit he deserves!!!

This live version of Along Comes Mary does not dissapoint by any means!

My ever first time to watch The Association Concert . It’s so sad that Larry Ramos left us so soon have a beautiful voice too &radiant smile . This Rock group is timeless really beautiful Thank you for putting up !

Ever time I have a conversation with anyone about the best groups of the sixties, I always mention the association and the turtles!

Wow! This was getting close to 20 years after the original recording and they sound better than ever!!! Just fabulous.

WOW WOW!! They floored me.

Tremendous group who else has seven singers,any way it's a disgrace they aren't in the hall of fame maybe they were too good!

BOOMERS RULE! PERIOD! OUR GENERATION had the music and innovations, that set up the future that will be squandered by a greedy generation of layabouts that ride our coattails!

the first time i saw them was April 13, 1968...westbury music fair, westbury, long island/ny...before the concert started i saw larry checking out the crowd and went up to him to ask if he might sign the leather guitar strap i'd brought with me. it was my gf and mine 6 month anniversary and i wanted to give it to her...after he signed it he said, 'why don't you come with me and i'll introduce you to the rest of the band and they'll sign it, as well...'. as others have said here, amazingly congenial. i saw them a number of times after that.
just before he died i found an email address for him somewhere and wrote and told him this story...he sent me a signed cd of his AND the association's greatest hits(which i didn't need, since i have all the original material...and i'm not crazy about the remakes on that album. but still...he just sent it to me). wonderful person...it was fun seeing them backstage...crazy bunch of guys...
and, somehow, seeing them that day...i got how to do harmony...magical communication...i DID harmonize before that, but...AFter that i was soooo much better at it...
some of my favorite concerts...and i've seen many...great musicians and vocalists...
i remember when i saw them at Fordham University in the Bronx...they were supposed to play Ed Sullivan the previous Sunday...but Ed's people wanted them to do one of their hits. and THEY wanted to do a new song off of the eponymous, Association(as someone else here called it, 'stonehenge'. might be my favorite of theirs) album...Under Branches...so they said they wanted to play it for us that night. a capella...amazing. it was a real shame that America didn't get to hear it on the Sullivan show. big mistake, that...
thanks for posting this video...a few songs here i'd never heard before...

Larry looks like manny pacquiao

Played at my high school in 1966 right before they hit it big...Wow was I lucky and so were all the kids at my school......incredible band...!!

And you gotta love Larry wearing a pith helmet for that last interview clip before Windy. lol. Love it!!

Great posting friend! Do you by chance have the uncut version of this show that has all the interview segments as well?

Not the best rendition of "along comes mary" but this was the coked out 80s still the 60s wouldn't have been the 60s without the association ✌️
