The Inventors of Psychedelic Blues. Rest in Peace to Big Fat/The Bear, Blind Owl, The Mole, The Sunflower, The Snake (I believe he has cancer right now), and the only surviving member in good health, Fito!!
I know you dig Bob "Bear" Hite's vocals on Let's Work Together, Biz. That song appeared on the album Future Blues. Two more great Bob Hite vocal performances from that album are on "Sugar Bee" and the title song "Future Blues."
One of my favorite moments of Woodstock is the dude that comes on stage. You can read his lips, "This is the BEAR.....This is the BEAR!!!" We need to strive to return to a society that can trust one another like this. Peace.
I read the kid who jumped up on stage had been at a previous concert for canned heat and the lead singer Bob The Bear Hite left his jacket. That kid brought it and gave it back on stage ! According to the drummers book.
One of the all time great blues bands. Alan Wilson was so unbelievably talented and its such a shame that he passed away so young. So many of the great bluesmen of old including Skip James, Son House, John Lee Hooker, Sleepy John Estes, Mississippi John Hurt, and Robert Pete. Dude was the real deal
I think you're reading the situation wrong. I think it was an amazing moment of trust. Your attitude today is a reflection of the society of mistrust and suspicion we live in now. That's why Woodstock hasn't lost any importance.
You also should dig the 1967 Monterey Pop film. Jefferson Airplane, Jimi, The Who, Janis, Ravi Shankar, Otis Redding, Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel...I think it's magical
Canned Heat is an epic blues band! I cannot find this song on any of their albums but it's heavy rockin' blues. I highly recommend you check out some Thin Lizzy, they're the greatest rock band Ireland ever produced in my opinion.
