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 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!

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.
