Thanks for that, Geoff -- awesome!  I want to hear anything from Richie Havens other than the oft-played "Freedom"

I'd like tickets to Day Two please... and Day Three.

I read "Bert Sommer" and of course thought I had read "Bret Somers."

not sure what Melanie and CCR songs you're referring to, but I wouldn't mind hearing Eva Cassidy's version of Woodstock.

Probably at least one of them--I'd guess the first, but not sure which version. And I'm hoping she plays Goin' Home by 10 Years After--it's been a long while since I last heard that one. Also Arlo Guthrie's ode to smuggling pot would be nice, as I missed it on the Sound earlier this month. However, since the Carlos Santana Commemorative Birthday Set was just a couple weeks ago, I think I can live without Soul Sacrifice.

103.7 The Band has a Woodstock page on their website and they've posted that same song list.

http://www.1037theband.com/pages/woodstock.html

If we don't hear JA's "Volunteers" I'll be most disappointed. "All right, friends, you have seen the heavy groups. Now you will see morning maniac music. Believe me, yeah. It's a new dawn!"

I think it would be hilarious if Annalisa played nothing but Woodstock '94 and/or Woodstock '99. That would be a good 4/1 joke.

Melanie's "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" -- we were so close/there was no room/we bled inside/each other's wounds -- and CCR's "Who'll Stop The Rain" are both about Woodstock.

BTW, The Sound in LA are dedicating tomorrow's Album Sides Wednesday to Woodstock artists and they're also doing a Woodstock 10@10 on Friday. Wonder if Rob and Bob will follow suit.

I didn't know that about the two songs.  I always thought the CCR track was an anti-war tune.  Googling it brings mixed results.

Also of interest, particularly to Geoff, is the item about WNEW broadcasting the Dead's concert at the Felt Forum in December of '71, and the memo from Scott Muni that accompanies it:

indeed, Wiki seems to indicate that the CCR is about the Moratorium Day march on DC in Nov of '69.  I don't remember it raining that day, but it's possible.

I was probably there, but don't recall either.  We lived in Falls Church VA then, and my folks took us to a number of those marches & gatherings on the Mall.

for me, the rain was always a poetic image; I never thought it was about water falling from the sky.

I've probably said this before, but another fave m'green involves "I dreamed I saw the bombers, riding shotgun in the sky" -- I heard "bombers" as "barbers", which made perfect sense to me, since barbers hated hippies.

AL's trying to mix it up, I guess, and as Rob played 10 live-at-W'stock cuts this morning, it's fine with me. The interviews are more interesting than hearing "Soul Sacrifice" for the billionth time.

BTW, amazingly the lyric is "telephone in my bosom", which Sistah Havens is pronouncing as "bah-SAHM" for some reason.

Too bad she didn't play the clip where Crosby (I think) says onstage, "This is our second gig ever, we're scared shitless, man!"

That line got the Woodstock album banned from my sixth-grade classroom. You should have seen the teacher's face when that was played.

Save for the Richie Havens tune, sounds like AL is trying to select lesser played songs from those recorded at the concert itself.

Btw, according to that setlist that Geoff posted the link to earlier in the thread, Santana didn't play Jingo at Woodstock. Minor thing, particularly since Soul Sacrifice got played in the Carlos b-day set a few weeks back.
