"The Final Solution 1966" refers to a pivotal live recording of the San Francisco garage/psychedelic rock band, The Final Solution, performing at The Matrix club in July 1966, capturing their raw, folk-punk sound before their official disbandment, with this historic set released decades later as the album Just Like Gold: Live At The Matrix 1966. The band, part of the early SF scene with members like Ernie Fosselius, John Yager, and Bob Knickerbocker, played unique, moody original songs, but this tape became their enduring legacy, showcasing their untapped potential.
Key Aspects of The Final Solution in 1966:
Early SF Scene: They were an integral part of the burgeoning San Francisco music scene, alongside bands like The Great Society and The Warlocks.
The Matrix Gig: They stepped in as a last-minute replacement for The Great Society at The Matrix, a famous venue, and recorded a dynamic set.
Unique Sound: Their music featured Eastern influences, raga-like textures, and melancholic lyrics, differing from typical psychedelic rock.
The Recording: The performance was captured by Peter Abram and later released as Just Like Gold, revealing their musical depth.
Band Lineup: Key members included Ernie Fosselius (lead guitar, vocals), Bob Knickerbocker (bass), John Yager (guitar, vocals), and John Chance (drums)
