ON THIS DATE (45 YEARS AGO) October 15, 1969 - MC5: Tonight b/w Looking At You (Atlantic 45-2678) 45 single is released in the US. From their second album LP Back in the USA. Matthew Greenwald, allmusic The beginning of MC5s brief reinvention as a down and dirty rock/boogie band, Tonight is one of the ultimate teenage anthems. Delivering all of the excitement and anticipation of going to a rock concert, the song, for one has inspired countless spin-offs, possibly the most obvious is Spinal Taps Tonight Were Gonna Rock It Tonight. Musically, its a straight rockin boogie, featuring some devastating guitar duets, and even a relatively polished harmony arrangement. A seemingly ready-to-order hit single; it never charted, which is one of the biggest crimes of the late 60s. MC5
