Review by Dennis Hilgers

The album Battle Of The Bands 1967 National Finals by Various is a nostalgic journey back to the golden era of rock and roll. The third-person review of the album reveals that it features some of the most iconic bands of the 60s, as they compete in a battle of the bands competition. The album is a compilation of live performances recorded during the 1967 National Finals, and it captures the raw energy and passion of these young musicians.

The album kicks off with a bang as The Doors take the stage with their classic hit "Light My Fire." Jim Morrison's hypnotic vocals and Ray Manzarek's mesmerizing keyboard playing create a hauntingly beautiful rendition of the song. The competition heats up as The Who deliver an electrifying performance of "My Generation," complete with Pete Townshend's signature windmill guitar strumming.

Other standout performances on the album include The Byrds' jangly guitar-driven "Mr. Tambourine Man," The Jimi Hendrix Experience's psychedelic "Purple Haze," and The Animals' bluesy "House of the Rising Sun." The album also features lesser-known bands like The Seeds and The Electric Prunes, who prove themselves to be just as talented and deserving of recognition as their more famous counterparts.
