In The Past: Garage Rock Podcast
99th Floor
Three versions of 99th Floor, all featuring Billy Gibbons of future ZZ Top fame! Two demos by The Coachmen V, his original band, and the more well-known Moving Sidewalks version. All different, all great - but that's not all! In the mid-70s, some weirdos from Pennsylvania called TNT recorded the tune and made it even more psych! Last but not least, The Chesterfield Kings filed a faithful but extra fuzzy version in 1982. Why didn't we do this song for Episode 99 instead of 189?!?!?!
