The Peak 8/14/09: Woodstock
« on: August 14, 2009, 07:12:53 AM »
we start with Richie Havens' Freedom -- which how the movie Woodstock starts, too, correct?  Oh well, it's a classic.





then John Sebastian does Darlin' Be Home Soon  -- a beautiful song, just him and his guitar, but JB does this exaggerated "phew" thing right before the last line that sort of sticks out like a sore hip(pie).

Canned Ham Heat yelps they they're Going Up The Country, to, uh get away from all the crowds?

Canned Hams Heat




the we get some announcements

The warning that I've received – you may take it with however many grains of salt you wish – is that the brown acid, that is circulating around us, is not, specifically, too good.
Eliot from Harvard: the hitchikers you picked up need those pills right away.
Louis Pitkin(?): your brother is at the Fallsburg police station.


we need Twitter! stat!

CCR Commotion: it mentions the word "brown," I notice.  No acid ref, though.  Nice quick one, will give us time to get in a longer song (Ten Years After, maybe? ) later on... we hope.

but then Janis Joplin unleashes Ball and Chain. great recording, the organ, the horns sound so good on this.  What a powerhouse!

CSNY's guitars sound a tad out of tune, maybe?

as do their voices -- they were notoriously bad live in those days.

as i've noted before, JB's solo stuff around this time is well worth seeking out.  I saw him the following year at the "Summer Festival For Peace" at Shea Stadium.  And his LP John B Sebastian is just lovely.
