I wasn't ever going to publish this live recording because unfortunately, the sound quality lacks Stevie's voice (a mike got turned around during performance) so I apologize for that, but isn't it better to hear her at this time than not at all? (Please refer to the lyrics below.) Lindsey Buckingham (bass) does background vocals as well as Javier Pacheco (B-3 organ), with Brian Kane (guitar) and Bob Aguirre (drums). Recorded live at Aragon High School, San Mateo, CA 1969.
Slide Show, Pachecure
PRODUCT OF THE TIMES
(Javier Pacheco)
We're making the same mistakes,
we're not the leaders of a line
we've only made outside changes,
we've hardly even moved the time.
And now it might sound real crazy,
but we're a product of the times.
It's hard to rearrange, so hard to change a frame of mind. But nothing stays the same.
And it doesn't take much to be blind.
Those who stay the same, become a product of the time
I'm not trying to make you love me.
Not trying to fit you to my style.
If you'd only understand me,
I'd feel better all the while.
We can explore each other,
and find the meaning of the child.
People are starving, oh, can't you hear the baby cry,
People are dying, oh, . . can't you hear the baby crying.
Doesn't matter where you came from,
doesn't matter who you are.
if you can't find love around you,
you haven't traveled very far.
Oh, the last thing we can sing about,
is where, oh where, ...do you start?
Product of the times, ... Product of the times.
