Banda norte-americana formada em 1965 em San Francisco - capital do movimento hippie - que ficou famosa pelo seu estilo único porém, eclético. Suas composições envolviam elementos do rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, country, psicodélico e jazz.
A banda se apresentava em longos shows repletos de improvisação. 'A música deles alcança níveis que a maioria dos outros grupos sequer sabiam da existência.', escreveu Lenny Kaye, guitarrista de Patti Smith.

G Thing A7D7G GCG Once upon a time there was an engineer A7D7 Drove a locomotive both far and near GC Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on his stool GA7D7G Watching everything the engineer would move GCG One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat A7D7 He left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat GC The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun GA7D7G And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run GCG Big locomotive right on time A7D7 Big locomotive comin' down the line GC Big locomotive number ninety-nine GA7D7G Left the engineer with a worried mind
G Thing A7D7G
The Engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone
Tell him all about his locomotive was gone
Get on the wire, switch operator to write
Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight
Switch operator got the message on time
Said, there's a northbound livin' on the same main line
Open up the switch, I'm gonna let her through the hole
Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control
Big locomotive right on time
Big locomotive comin' down the line
Big locomotive number ninety-nine
Left the engineer with a worried mind *Solo* (verse (x2))
Big locomotive right on time
Big locomotive comin' down the line
Big locomotive number ninety-nine
Left the engineer with a worried mind
GA7D7G Left the engineer with a worried mind
Left the engineer with a worried mind...
