On the Road Again Canned Heat | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION! 

I think they did it on a livestream.

Yes Going Up the Country next! 🌷💙

And time was!

It has to be the obvious next choice.

@@loosilu It's hard to keep track of everything they've done on livestreams. There's no way to look things up.

That sad period of tragic deaths reminded me in some ways of the mood after RFK and MLK, Jr. were slaughtered two years earlier. There is so much great music that came from the angst and turbulence of the Civil Rights Movement and the Viet Nam War era. Sadly, these were all significant artists whose contributions to music and culture can only be imagined. Now my music heroes are aged and we get a sad obituary every week.

I blame Nixon.

@@theactualbajmahal833 I blame Obama. 🤣🤣🤣

Such a waste.

🖖

How Kool is that

Wearing a Canned Heat t shirt at this very moment...no lie. What a song. I could listen to it for hours.

Oh too funny, same with me, hanging out with friends older brothers and sisters, going to their parties, I got introduced to a lot of stuff as a young teen. What awesome times and so happy to have been able to experience all that!

Truth

I was just glad they played it. But I agree- they need the non radio version.

You mean having played and/or recorded with Son House and John Lee Hooker (only to name two) wasn't a close enough connection to blues for you???? They met collecting the actual 78s, then went on meeting as many of those artists as they could.

@@djhrecordhound4391 I deleted my comment. They did give full credit on their album( unlike Zep & others) which I was not aware of. I Also now recall thr John Lee Hooker recording I have a pet peeve with the general public not having a clue of the original versions much less care.

No doubt about it. Much like "Celebrate" by Rare Earth.....the radio version is doesn't cut it after you hear the full length version.

yes!!!!

Think I'd have to be very hard up for alcohol to do that.

Sent me to listen to RJ. Thanks for that!

Seeing "Hellhound On My Trail" on the track listing for Fleetwood Mac's first album while in a record store in 1968 prompted me to take a chance and buy the album, even though I had no idea who they were. What a wonderful surprise when I brought that album home and put it on the turntable!

@@ptournas Peter Green!!

Owl's voice is reminiscent of Skip James and Tommy Johnson.

I prefer the original Wilbert Harrison version of "Let's Work Together."

Many of their songs were covers of old blues songs, especially their most popular ones. That's not a bad thing, they were great covers, like "Going Up Country", a cover of the 1928 "Bull Doze Blues" by Henry Thomas that stays very close to the original.

Sterno (also called "canned heat") is a semi-solid flammable gel inside a small metal case. Placed under chafing dishes.

Was coming here to post this. Canned Heat, taking a Sterno can and placing a cotton ball over the lid and straining out the alcohol to drink. Great band name :)

YES! It was my first time hearing them on the soundtrack...so unique it became a favorite

@@kimmycook2698 5 min after watching this I ended up listening to their set at Woodstock again. What can ya do?

At Woodstock they were on LSD trip - the guys were wasted

@@AlexSilva-zu3te Might have been required to get on the stage 😉

@Mark G. Like a dress code or something?

Still am.

Still smokin' after all these years...🤘✌️

​@Terrie Martinez Just picked it back up after a 40 year hiatus...for medicinal purposes only...😉

@@emilyflotilla931 Welcome Back. Puff Puff Pass.. ✌️☺️🤘♥️

@@emilyflotilla931 my use has always been been *medicinal* 🤫 I've only had cancer 4 times.. 👏☺️🤘

They did, but it was mastered really badly. There's an awesome 2CD set from 1994 called "Uncanned! The Best Of Canned Heat". The whole thing was remixed off the session tapes, and it'll blow your mind how great it sounds. It kicks off with a 7-minute version of "On The Road Again" that they recorded for their first LP. I think it has the only true stereo mix of "Let's Work Together" too. Sorry long-winded, but unless it's streamable, you might need to find a physical copy of that set online somewhere.

@@djhrecordhound4391 Agreed, the production sucked, but it was miles above what the old blues men had access to. I’ll look for the box set!

with the black and white video of the hot 1970s girls dancing to that song 😊😊

@@dadmateryn8092 That video was reuploaded by someone and it's in color if you're interested 😂😂😂😂

Just FYI It's a cover. All their hits are covers but major props for crediting all the original artsts and recording with John Lee Hooker.

@@jgsrhythm100 I don't know if they paid royalties, but the original artists are credited and the idea was to pay homage to their influences. Let's Work Together by Wilbert Harrison, Going Up the Country, (Bulldoze Blues by Henry Thomas) and Rollin' and Tumblin' by Muddy Waters. And they did a whole album with John Lee Hooker, called Hooker n Heat. Unlike Zeppelin, Canned Heat gave credit where credit was due.

@@cs-7 OK that's a very good point. Don't mind me, for whatever reason It urks me that the majorty have no clue of the original black artists and wouldn't give them the time of day. Just a Pet Peave. 😆 Your right about credit. Respect to the Stones for actually promoting and recording with their influences and come to think of it I do recall Canned Heat .backing up John Lee Hooker.

Maxwell Street Moonshine!

... and just to connect the dots, Tommy Johnson is the guy who told Robert Johnson (no relations) about dealings with "Old Scratch" (the devil) and what crossroad to be at midnight for a parle.

yes!!!

Still heard in commercials today.

In the uk together we stand was a big hit .

@@raymondbonington9355 yes, reached #2 in the UK. I should have specified in the US.

Psychedelic is an understatement

Pearl jam played this at Wrigley Field.

This was my drive around the back roads after a few puffs😂 until the song ended, sometimes seemed like hours😮😅❤

Too bad that both lead singers died young.

@@biggriz2211 That's part of the classic blues story. Framed by the Denver police they have to sell off their future publishing rights just to make bail. Few months later they have a worldwide top-10 hit and crush in 1968 and 1969 and get only their gate receipts, essentially, meaning they have to constantly tour even as their singles and album make millions for others. Two founders and key early addition all die pretty young of drug overdoses, most notably Wilson, the resident genius. House band of Hell's Angles in the 70s. Ultimate boogie band. Pony Blues. Parthenogensis. My Crime. Amphetamine Annie. The various Fried Hockey/Hookie Boogie. Vestine and Wilson are in contention, seriously, for the most powerful double bill on guitar, with Vestine's raging solos, the solos that attracted Zappa before he kicked Henry out for smoking pot, and the impeccable rhythm and slide work of Wilson - impeccable - and then his harmonica work. Hooker called him the best harmonica player ever and I don't disagree. Three band members - Al, Bob, and Henry - were all world class collectors of blues singles, with thousands each, perhaps collectively the largest collection of blues 45s and 78s the world has ever seen. And, apparently, Al had them to memory and could slice and dice on command. Likely autistic, Al was a blues savant, truly. Al wrote scholarly treatises about the blues. Played nearly every 60s festival and headlined many times over other name bands in the era. Unique and beautiful.

I have to add Taste - with Rory Gallagher - to that statement. Both were the best of the best "white" blues of the time.

It's a different vocalist, Bob Hite.

I might quibble about “hippiest “….. thinking Country Joe and the Fish, Grateful Dead….. it for sure they were a huge part of that time and vibe

I’m

Well I wouldn't say they weren't very hippie bands too!

@@peterstilla8733 😁✌️

Did they pay Royaties to the original black bluesman that wrote it?

I saw them open up Saturday afternoon at the Monterey Pop Festival two years before Woodstock. They were pretty well known then.

Both covers originals black blues artsts. They are basically a blues cover band

@@jgsrhythm100 Your point? They were a great white blues band.

My point is 95% have no idea these are covers. They were great but can't stand thiose that are down with the artsts thst covered black blues but don't give the actual black blues artists the time of day. Just a pet peave. Especially not down if no royalties were given to the originsl artsts. Even Zeppelin is guilty of this. I respect those that went out of their way to honor their influences like the Stones, ZZ Top. Canned Heat might very well have done the same, just not sure.

Alan also used to file his reeds to attain certain pitches.

Would certainly agree and Highway Star by Deep Purple as well. I would also add Driver's Seat by Sniff n' the Tears.

How was blind owl like?

Amazing, incredible harp player! A true bluesman.
