Today is International Louie Louie Day<\/strong> and we\u2019re sharing some special treats to celebrate the day!<\/p>\n

The plan was to start off with the first three hours of the original KFJC Maximum LOUIE LOUIE<\/strong> marathon, which was the pivotal event that led to the LOUIE documentary project.\u2028\u2028 This is the first time we\u2019ve ever shared anything longer than 30 minutes from the original air check tape recordings. These recordings include commentary by disc jockeys Jeff “Stretch” Riedle<\/strong> and Phil Dirt<\/strong>, who are joined by special guest Richard Berry<\/strong>, the author of this legendary song. <\/p>\n

\"KFJC<\/p>\n

For many of us, this was truly a life-changing experience.\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n

The first 3 hours were originally broken up into 3 sections, available individually or as a continuous YouTube playlist<\/a>. Unfortunately, the first hour was blocked worldwide for copyright reasons, and I’m currently trying out some different methods to reconfigure these particular archival recordings, which I’ll be updating throughout the day.<\/p>\n

The continuous YouTube playlist<\/a>, your best option for listening, will also include other recordings from that very LOUIE LOUIE weekend at KFJC Radio, which includes an abbreviated video edit of the once-in-a-lifetime performance of Richard Berry performing with original Kingsmen<\/strong> singer Jack Ely<\/strong> for the first and only time, backed by the Lady Bo Trio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This playlist<\/a> won\u2019t be the full 63 hour \/ 800+ version experience, but it will provide a nice condensed sampling of that unique marathon.<\/p>\n

Each of the individual KFJC Maximum LOUIE LOUIE archival clips have a playlist in the description with clickable time marks for every LOUIE performance.<\/p>\n
