| Post subject: | Woodstock 41 years on |
Well, it was 41 years ago this week. Anyone in attendance? You would have to be about 60 now, as it was in August 1969. One of the three greatest rock festivals ever, along with the Monterey Pop festival in '67 and Altamont in '69. I missed going to Woodstock by one year ( I was only 16 at the time). What a lineup...The Who, Hendrix, CCR, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Ten Years After, Sly & the Family Stone, et al. Check out these videos. The quality is amazing. Jefferson Airplane performed at about 8:00 Saturday morning! They all look really stoned. Damn, Grace Slick was pretty hot back then. She was only 29 (she's 70 now!). Hendrix closed the show on Monday morning. Jefferson Airplane... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ljxpyH4dnA Santana... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiGSsP60BLA Hendrix... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1mjERXLx24 Sly & the Family Stone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYrz5y1mW5U |

Check this out from 1970 (this was his last live performance, as he died three weeks later!)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-LEpfZi9VM |

The tradition of multi-day all-genre big concert events may have started with Woodstock, but Charlie Daniels Band has kept this flame alive. Starting in 1974 with a 1-day event, the Volunteer Jams continued over the next 3 decades: http://www.tennesseeconcerts.com/volunteerjam In this century, hard to go wrong with Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festivals. The first was in 2004 in Dallas, the other 2 in 2007 and 2010 in Illinois. For list of performers and DVD track listings, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads_Guitar_Festival << an essential for guitar fans |

Cocker and Belushi http://www.livevideo.com/video/9B019B8F ... lushi.aspx I saw Joe Cocker in Jacksonville, FL in 1975. He was already loaded when he came out and proceeded to drink 4 more Heinekens while he sang. At the end of each song he would start to talk and the band would go into the next song. He knocked the mic stand over twice and a roadie had to run out and stand it back up for him. Still a good concert though. Wit |

Brothers GringoTim, El Silencioso and others inspired by JT's wizardry might want to check out a DVD recorded in recent years. It features the earlier music including some rarely played material. The venue: I can't speak on this one but a Solomon Burke DVD from the same outfit was outstanding and in near-HD quality. Her's the Amazon.com listing with a track listing and inspired commentary: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WN ... B002WNU0VC If somebody prompts me, I'll scout up the Moodies doin's too. |
