The Sonics - The Witch (Live on KEXP)

They sound just as great now as they did then..from the seattle area.

1965

Though at this time this is not The Sonics, apart from Rob Lind, this line up still knocks it out of the park. Sounds good for a band with one 1 original member.

first hardcore

Can't believe they still exist...with the same energy!

fucking love this song

Coulda seen Cobain covering this song if he lived long enough to divorce Courtney Love.

With Chris Benoit on Guitar

Lucky Reykjavik!

Still sounds great after all of these years!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this rules! They still kill it

Foooooking brilliant

these guys were probably like the Cannibal Corpse of 1965

The Rob Lind's New Sonics still sound great

Sick song for the 60s

L7 brought me here

sweet jesus, they are fabulous! love them then and now :) greetings from Poland

Is that Dwight schrute

Such a trip hearing this played at the Olympics.

godfathers of punkrock

The drummer has it going on!

This was the hardest rocking song in the entire country when it came out. This song is why I am a hard rock fan. This song is about a gal from Banbridge Island.

REAL ROCK AND ROLL!!!

Opening for I don't remember in Portland around 65 . Might have been Herman's Hermits.

I love seeing old rockers perform and still destroy. It's like muscle memory. They just get up there and it all comes out whether they like it or not.

PUNK !

They are killin’ it!!!

This is unbelievable for a live performance, and it isn't even most of the original band members.

Perfect example of how saxophone "works" in a hard rock/punk/metal setting

how can I like this 110x times?

Is that Aaron Roeder on drums?

One of my favorites!!

Attitude!

The Godfathers of Hardrock!

That guy singing and playing the bass is absolutely the real deal.

CARALHO! FUCKING AWESOME!

Not the real sonics. Guy does a good job on Roslies vocals. I know because I played with Jerry. Biggest voice I ever heard .

this is fucking sick oh my god i feel like vomiting over how cool this sounds for 1965

Love🎶🤘🤘

This would have melted my brains if i was back then, without knowledge of metal or harsh noise

Rawer than in the 60s. Impressive.

GOALS

The beginning of Punk right there

60 years after release this song still slaps hard af!

hell yeah, guys still sound awesome!

ya le gustaria a Mick Jagger estar asi de hermoso...

See you soon in Mexico, guys. 🔥🤛🏾

Proper old skool. :)

these guys were wayyy to ahead of their time for 1965/6
