Camper Van Beethoven - Pictures of Matchstick Men, live in Lexington, KY.For those who cannot see the obvious, this is a cover version of the 1967-era psychedelic classic by Status Quo, who continued on past the (1960s) psychedelic era and evolved into a popular arena-rock band. Camper Van Beethoven were a popular alt-rock band during the 1980s through early 1990s, and reformed (after a brief hiatus during which time singer Dave Lowry formed Cracker) and toured during the mid-2000s, and may even still be touring when they want to.Live at The Dame, Lexington, Kentucky, June 11, 2005. More details here: http://www.archive.org/details... be sure and check out the original version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... by Ehric Weiss & Opium Ed of Artifact Attic, with blessings from Jonathan Segel and David Lowry.Incidentally, Jonathan Segel was especially interested in us editing a video of their performance of Pink Floyd's Interstellar Overdrive -- which I've been meaning to get back to editing but other things keep coming my way and it gets pushed to the back burner. (Plus, I need to edit & post some of CvB's own songs as well.)

Just been reading the blurb about this video - was there really someone called Lowry in this band. Any relation to Laurence S Lowry who was famous for painting 'Pictures of Matchstick Men'. Obvious choice of a covering track by someone called Lowry?Thank God Dave Lowry hadn't discovered Brian and Michaels Matchstick Men and Matchstick cats and dogs released mid-70's.

My friend Gee SpotThe band in question is called Flock from 1969 and last I heard they did a tour in Europe 2004.Check out their videos on Youtube.Jerry Goodman was their violinist in their early years and what a flamboyant guy he was.Others bands you may find interest in:-It's A Beautiful DayBrian Auger TrinityCamper Van B were around in the 80's. Around 2004 recorded New Roman Times that you may like. Plenty of references to the hippy culture.Check them out.

I've just been reading the comments and Oh MistaEks the vitriol you write. If you had your way would you be banning covers, tribute bands and live versions of songs.A great song will always be remembered; no matter who covered it. I'm a great fan of the Kinks, but would have never heard of them if I hadn't stumbled across a cover song.
