the clue, "year of the first mega music festival" = Monterey Pop, I assume. Woo Hoo!
-
TOTHK - Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want - 1969
-
Oh. '69. Monterey doesn't count as "mega" apparently. Whatever, NayNay.
-
TOTHK - Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want - 1969
this will get a good "re-CEP-shun" from the g-snipes. heh.

And about a 3 on the Necessary scale.

We're just lucky she didn't think it was the first "Banaroo" (or whatever the hell that thing is).
-
Sly and the Family Stone "Everyday People"

that would've been a lalapalooza of a mistake. ;)
scooby-dooby-dooby VHM Sly, but also pretty unnecessary. One from the Oldies 103.7 column.

I truly never tire of "Crystal Blue Persuasion". BOS1. This kind of Christianity -- the drug-addled kind -- I can definitely get behind.
-
Tommy James and the Shondells "Crystal Blue Persuasion"
-
sweet Loretta was another man. Props to Macca for his consistent gender-bending (a doctoral thesis if ever there was), but "Get Back" is pretty unnecessary too.
-
The Beatles "Get Back"
For some California grass...
"Get Up And Go" by The Rutles, anyone?

oh my yes.

Had no idea this was a Jesus-freak song. Which just proves your point.
LN#2, the Beatles (and you have no idea how it pains me to say that).
-
Isley Brothers "It's Your Thing"
-
it's yo' thang, bro'. VHM Isleys.
-
Donovan "Atlantis"
-

well, I was a Catholic schoolboy at the time. The god references (see also "Sweet Cherry Wine") were pretty apparent to me. And to the nuns. And Mr James found Jeebus around this time.
uber-BOS2 "Atlantis", which the Peak played in their (May) 1969 set yesterday. Another one I never tire of. Sing & dance & ring in the new, my antedeluvian bay-bee!

But why did she play a clip from 1966's "Wild Angels"? Maybe she thought it was from "Easy Rider"? (Naturally, I had to look this stuff up to write this...)
-
OTOH, I really didn't need Zho Co-KAIR fondling himself when he turns out the light.
-
Joe Cocker "(Theme From The Wonder Years) With A Little Help From My Friends"
-

ha! I was thinking that exact same thing.
-
don't take the brown acid!
and we remain in Woodstock for some Santana. Carlos is the hose!
-
Santana "Jingo"
I assume Renee won't be mentioning how short the songs were on the backsell today. ;D
-

Haha, yes he is. I love that characterization as "not specifically too good". And what is the effect on the brain of poorly manufactured acid?
-
Edwin Starr "25 Miles"
"Come on, feet!"
-
Come AWN, feets! VHM Edwin Starr. He gots to walk AWN!
-

None, or very little.
"Hey, it's your own trip."
-
BOS3 Zep, but of course. "WI&WSNB". I got LedZep II for Xmas that year.
-
Led Zeppelin "What Is And What Should Never Be"
-
BOS, the Might Zep, "What Is and What Should Never Be." My old stereo installation test song.
-

more superficial hallucinations, and the jangles!
-
uh, we had LONG hair in '69. not BIG hair. (well, unless you were black)

It's got a lot of speed in it, so you get anxious and wired instead of getting high.
-
aaack: let me off this Train.
-
"...as we were...uh...enjoying some time in 1969. (Yeah, that's it: enjoying.)
Why do I not believe her?

Double plus ungood.
-
Renee sez Zeppelin gets BOS; Donovan and Sly VHM.
-

My thoughts exactly!
-
1. The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want
2. Sly and the Family Stone - Everyday People
(News: The Eagle has landed, bitches.)
3. Tommy James - Crystal Blue Persuasion
4. The Beatles - Get Back
(Movie: The Wild Angels; wrong year, '66)
5. Isley Brothers - It's Your Thing
6. Donovan - Atlantis
7. Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends
(News: Woodstock.)
8. Santana - Jingo
9. Edwin Starr - 25 Miles
10. Led Zeppelin - What Is And What Should Never Be
-

What about the Newport Jazz Festival? And that's just off the top of my head... surely
there are earlier folk music hootenanies, country music jamborees, etc. Just another
sign of the lack of musical perspective from those kids who are running the radio station
these days. Grumble, grumble.
-
TOTHK - Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want - 1969
Surprisingly this is its first appearance, according to my files.

I have no problem with Christianity; I think it's great. It's the so-called Christians that are the
problem. 99.9% of them either have no clue what their professed religion is about, don't
practice it, or both.
There was a period of the late '60s when people were very open to all religions, both Eastern and
Western, as part of a genuine spiritual exploration. Popular culture manifestations of that included
Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar. As with other pursuits, some people took it to excess ("Jesus
freaks, out in the streets"), some dropped it, some integrated it into their life and moved on.
-
well, I was a Catholic schoolboy at the time.
Since you said you went to Fordham, I gotta ask: did you go to a private (and presumably
Catholic) high school?
-

DM & AL have each played it once. I really liked hearing it again as well.
-

BOS from me. Another surprising first appearence, if I haven't overlooked anything.
-
But why did she play a clip from 1966's "Wild Angels"? Maybe she thought it was from "Easy Rider"?
ha! I was thinking that exact same thing.
It's not an RR set unless something from the wrong year is played!

I'm not intimately acquainted with the chemistry, but as I understand it, LSD and/or some of its
precursors are in the methamphetamine family. So if the proportions aren't sufficiently accurate
during manufacture one will have a higher percentage of speed and similar molecules in the
final product. If my memory is correct, a little arsenic is another contaminant, which wll result
in minor joint pain -- kind of like being mildly arthritic. These by-products can also appear when
old LSD breaks down if it is not stored properly, i.e., away from heat and light. A freezer or
refridgerator is the obvious choice, and doing so can extend the shelf-life for many years.
Not that I know anything about this personally, you understand. Er, um, a friend told me about it.
There's another great quote from Woodstock that I think is even better. It's from Grace Slick,
and I may not have the exact words correct, but she says:
"Sorry about the people that got the brown. We got a whole lot of the orange. And it was fine.
And it still is fine."

well, I was a Catholic schoolboy at the time.
Since you said you went to Fordham, I gotta ask: did you go to a private (and presumably
Catholic) high school?
I did the Papal Triple Crown: 9 years Catholic grammar school (includes kindergarten), 4 years Catholic high (taught by Marist Brothers) and 4 years Fordham (Jesuits). No wonder I'm an atheist!
As it happens I'm doing some writing about it at the moment so it's been much on my mind and any set from '69-to-'73 gets my creative juices flowing.

Given the endpoints I figured the middle of that arc was a given.
I went to public grade schools, but then attended a Catholic high school. Many of my classmates
went to parochial schools, and one of my buddies went to Fordham. I visited him there once, but
I don't remember much about the place other than the street scene in the Bronx walking from the
subway stop. I blame drugs. (grin)

ah, I loved the smell of Fordham Road in the morning. What year was that, if you don't mind saying? And if it was the mid-'70s, please message me with your friend's name -- it's a small world, quite often.

It was the '75-'76 school year... I know it wasn't in the winter. I'm pretty sure it was fall '75,
but there's a small chance it was spring '76.
It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.
