WOODSTOCK BANGER!!.. | FIRST TIME HEARING Canned Heat - Going up The Country REACTION 

Which Woodstock? lol Oh dear hearts, there was only ONE Woodstock. Three days of music in New York. Although it was the culmination of a summer of music festivals across the country - including the Denver Pop Festival (which I was at). But it all ended at Max Yasgur's farm in New York. You know - that period is tough to explain. I guess you had to have been there. Some people romanticize about it - others tear it all down. But here is my suggestion - if you are going to react to music from that era and especially acts from Woodstock and other live acts of 1969 - then you need to invest the time and watch the movie, "Woodstock". There was a ton of problems going on back then - but the music seemed to bring us all together... even if for a short time.

The only "real" Woodstock occurred on Max Yasgur's farm in 1969.

Aug 1969 -- I was there!!! there will NEVER be another Woodstock!!! EVER!!!! the best music!!!

As someone else said, there is really only one Woodstock in 1969. Follow her suggestion and watch the extended version of the film. That will give you the vibe you are looking for and you won’t forget it! Enjoy and keep up the great reactions.

"Going Up the Country", "Let's Work Together", and "On the Road Again" are the three Canned Heat songs on my playlist...

Woodstock was a 3 day event in farmer's field in mid August of 1969. There was an estimated 450,000 people in attendance, most of whom camped out in tents or just open air. Janis performed on day 2 right after CCR and Jimi Hendrix closed out the show. A lot of big artists declined invitations to perform and then realized afterwards it was a mistake on their part not to have participated.

I was too young for Woodstock, but what made it special was almost 1/2 million people in one place, drinking, doing drugs, listening to music, and all in peace. No violence. No guns. At this time in the 60’s we all honestly believed in love, peace and equality for everyone. And, we really thought we would see it in our lifetime. We were so naive, optimistic, and hopeful. Woodstock was a big symbol for us that it was possible. Maybe it still is, but not in my lifetime. I think my cynicism now believes we will see the depths that greed, hate, and intolerance can bring us to before we see the world as one that we dreamed of in the 60’s. I hope your babies see that wonderful world in their lifetimes.

What a legendary band, Canned Heat. The great and incredible Alan Blind Owl Wilson, what an incredible blues player and part of the 27 club. Also Bob The Bear Hite wow! ❤️❤️❤️

Only one Woodstock. If you get the chance watch the movie of the concert, you really get to hear incredible musicians , many that you’ve done reactions to. ✨💐🎸

Woodstock was a one time event that occurred in 1969. There was a 25th anniversary concert in 1994 and a 30th anniversary concert at the original location in 1999 that ended in a riot. All the songs you’ve seen performed at Woodstock were from the original Woodstock in 1969.

This is your grandparents' generation. They loved fun. Particularly happy music is timeless, or you wouldn't be rocking now.

That’s exactly the way we were back then, we were free spirits then.✌️🌼🌼🌼🌼

The original Woodstock concert, which you're seeing images from in this video, was in 1969. I think you guys would really benefit from watching the "Woodstock" movie. It puts all this music, and the images that you've been seeing into perspective. It's a real journey I think you guys will really enjoy.

Canned Heat, OMG!!!!! You guys are killing me, this is amazing. You just keep pulling ACES out of the air. This channel is blowing all the rest out of the water!

The best way to get a feel for Woodstock is to watch the film by the same name. Woodstock was an amazing event that will never happen again. As Max Yeagar said.. "it was three days of peace and love and nothing but peace and love.

Finally someone who reacts to Canned Heat. Such a great but underrated band. Great reaction. Thank you 🙏

Joni Mitchell wrote the definitive song about Woodstock. It was a slow song and when Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young heard it, they asked Joni if they could record it. Of course she said yes because she was dating Graham Nash at the time so they took the song and made it a rocker. For Female Friday you should do Joni’s version and then on Monday to CSNY’s version

Lets Work Together is another Canned Heat big hit.

Woodstock was 3 days of love. Peace and rock and roll. We needed this during Viet nam 1969

I wasn't there, but Woodstock is my generation. The selection of Going Up to the Country by Canned Heat was genius.

This song was emblematic of the age, which y'all also reflect with your spirits and values. Hippies never grow old, we just become Willie Nelson. We need a renaissance of those times. A re-engroovenation. Peace, Love & Music y'all. db

"On The Road Again" is another fabulous song!! You are going to love Blind Owl's harmonica!!!

I was at the original Woodstock in 1969. We saw that traffic was building up as we got nearer and I got off the Turnpike at the next exit. I was looking for a way to get in and saw a farmer close to the road and stoped and asked him if there was another way in. He said that there was a road up ahead and sure enough, we came across a road going off to the left. We didn't know it, but this was the band entrance and we drove right up to the stage and set up our tent close by. It was an incredible three days of music and comraderie. Everyone was so NICE to each other. Some guys on motorcycles came by our tent and said they were making a garbage run and asked if we had anything we wanted to throw out. Others were collecting food for people who didn't bring enough and we contributed a few things. We walked around in the mud and found friendly people wherever we went. Half a million people living together in harmony for three days without a police force or any real authority.

Look, no one was worried about getting shot, or getting busted for smoking a joint, or the women about getting assaulted, or for children getting taken. No. Just tunes, fellowship, joy. I am afraid we will never see such a time again. Love you both. ✌️

Had the privilege to party with Canned Heat back then. I was in the music business is why and went backstage all the time at concerts to meet talk and learn from musicians. These guys were so down-to-earth and so so sweet. I really love them. As far as Woodstock goes I was always a bit for The Dramatics, so I had it set up to parachute over Woodstock. I cancelled a day before when I found out the pilot that would be flying me, was known to trip on acid all the time. At that point I had to cancel LOL. Sure wish I had gotten to do it though. I was all about peace and love and the flowers in the hair. To me it was a time of love and peace & I loved my fellow man so much...I am now a 72 year ole hippie lol

Videos from Woodstock that are a must see: Want To Take You Higher - Sly and the Family Stone, and Soul Sacrifice - Santana. Just stupendous and will leave you slack jawed!! Please please!!!

Canned Heat preformed at Woodstock and 2 weeks later at Texas International Pop Festival in Lewisville. I was at TIPF and saw Canned Heat and Janis Joplin the same night. An experience never to be forgotten!

I love that you listen to so much music from my generation (I'm 69) but it wasn't all rainbows, unicorns and free love. Our young men, our friends, were dying in Vietnam. There were war protests happening and the civil rights movement in full swing. Those years were some of the best of my life but they were also filled with a great deal of turmoil and sadness.

Fantastic tune, Canned Heat has a sound all their own and this one does take ya on a trip. *"On The Road Again"* has as similar sound but *"Amphetamine Annie*" is very different in vocals and tone... There is only one "Woodstock" all of those bands were there basically at the same time, well over the several days Woodstock lasted ; the later "Woodstock" festivals were...not connected to the original... Oh, Bachman Turner Overdrive has a song along the same sound as this one, *"Takin' Care Of Business"*.. Ob, and if you're really interested in Rock History, Google "The Fillmore" in San Francisco, you will be glad you did... Oh, and Amber had asked for Disco tunes, so... *"Every 1's A Winner"* by Hot Chocolate Thanks S.W.

You both need to watch the movie. It's over two hours of some of the best music being made in 1969 in all styles, genres and types. It was also a "snapshot" of rock culture at the end of the 60s/beginning of the 70s. Until you've seen it you will not completely understand. I dug the movie so much that when it first came out and I went to see it at the theatre, I then proceeded to go to the theatre for four more nights in a row to watch it again, if that tells you anything. It blew my mind.

I loved Canned Heat!. They were basically a blues band. They had a big hit with, " let's work together " . Love you guys.

On The Road Again is another Woodstock era gem!

The first performance at Woodstock: Richie Havens "Freedom." That's a great one to hear. Jimi Hendrix was amazing at Woodstock too. The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival was in upstate New York in August of 1969. They expected 100,000 people in the audience but attendance easily topped 400-450,000. It was one of the most important events of the Baby Boomer generation. Look up more Woodstock performances. You can probably find a boxed DVD set. Oh, and another name from Woodstock you might look up, "Evening Raga," by Ravi Shankar. Cheers.

Canned Heat covered this tune, originally done by Henry Thomas in the 1920's. Sometimes called Bull Doze Blues.

Woodstock was in August 1969. A three-day phenomenon! Some of the many artists that played there: Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Canned Heat, Country Joe McDonald, Joan Baez, Jefferson Airplane, Richie Havens, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grateful Dead and so many more!

WOODSTOCK 1969: Often imitated, never duplicated!

Yes that's what Woodstock looked like a hippy gathering of the clans 😁 beautiful vibes , try Santana soul Sacrifice at Woodstock to get an even better idea of the atmosphere ❤️ peace and love brothers and sisters.

I was born in 1969. My mother was a true free spirit and introduced me to all types of music. My favorite performance from Woodstock is Santana Soul Sacrifice.

The garden was just far out time in my life I was 18 then and I'm 71 now. I watch it on all the time, Woodstock in 1969 was great and was just missing the both of you. Peace out and enjoy all the great music of the 60s and 70s.

Wish I could have attended Woodstock. I was born in '68, but love the music from then and up to the 80's.

This is a cover, BTW. The original is from back in the 1920s. Which - interestingly - was closer to the time this song was recorded by Canned Heat than we are to this recording now.

There was only one “Woodstock”. Born on 1957 and will be rocking until the day I die! A little to young to do Woodstock. However, looking forward to up coming retirement and going back to an enlightened mental status and rocking out!

Canned Heat's version of "Rollin' and Tumblin'" from the Monterey Pop festival is an absolute must!!!👍🏻✌🏼💯

Woodstock was a 3 day music festival held at Yasgers Dairy farm in 1967. It was the only one and nearly 400,000 people were there. Later, there was another festival in the early 2000's featuring contemporary musicians.

"Lay Down" by Melanie and the Edwin Hawkins Singers would be a great follow up to listen to - a song she wrote in response to Woodstock

A MUST SEE/HEAR/EXPERIENCE PERFORMANCE BY AN ICON ON DAY 1,, RICHIE HAVENS - "FREEDOM" AT WOODSTOCK 1969 (HD) VIDEO...AN ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE PERFORMER..R.I.P. RICHIE 🙏 ❤

The original Woodstock Festival was 3 days in August, 1969. But there were others. On the 20th anniversary in 1989 me and the guys in my band decided to drive from Boston to Bethel, NY to visit the original festival site on Yasgur's farm. There wasn't anything "official" going on, we just decided to go. When we arrived in the morning there were about 500 other people already there, camping out, with the same idea we had. By that afternoon TV crews started showing up (and more people)... original festival producer Mike Lang showed up as did Wavy Gravy (the unofficial MC of Woodstock). Wavy Gravy came right over to me and my friends, sat down on our blanket and listened to us jam on our acoustic guitars. He declined to share some of our weed. Later, a local musician showed up with all his sound equipment. We helped a bunch of people build a stage on the original stage site, set up the gear and had an "open mic" and jam session. By that evening there were thousands of people there. I have managed to find video of that day here on youtube....even saw some footage of my band performing! In 1994 there was an official 25th anniversary concert at Woodstock but it was...not good. There was another attempt in 1999 that was also a disaster. Years later...2005, in Thailand, I helped organize a music festival and got to play with both Canned Heat and Big Brother And The Holding Company (Janis's band). Both bands were still great and Big Brother remains one of the best live bands I have ever seen. If you want to see Janis and Jimi real iconic performances you need to watch them on a film called "Monterey Pop" from 1967. Monterey was the first big rock music festival and helped launch the careers of Jimi, Janis, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Canned Heat and Otis Redding... giving them their first national/international exposure.

Thanks for playing this , it was THE best time ever ❤

The Woodstock Music Festival happened once, in 1969. There were a few anniversary concerts, but they happened many years later. All the legendary acts from Woodstock took the stage during that 3 day timeframe.

The film, "Woodstock," is a must-watch, especially for anyone who's fascinated by that period of music. You have just got to experience Richie Havens' performance. Fun fact about the film: Martin Scorsese & his long-term editor, Thelma Schoonmaker, were credited as Assistant Directors and Editors on the film. It's a big part of why Robbie Robertson chose Scorsese to direct the film of The Band's final concert, "The Last Waltz."

There was so many people driving to Woodstock festival that for the first & last time ever they CLOSED THE NYS THRUWAY!!! can you imagine that! Tickets were $6.00 but eventually because of so many people who arrived Woodstock became a FREE MUSIC FESTIVAL!

Woodstock Festival, Bethel, New York, on Max Yaegur's dairy farm, August 1969, half a million people in attendance were exposed to heat, thunderstorms, mud, and chilly nights, the names you mentioned were there and many more,... you saw the video of people who arrived early, in some cases weeks in advance... you can find a lot of youtube footage of the bands that played and the people who went to the event... I will always remember August 1969, Woodstock, Ted Kennedy drives off a bridge, on Chappaquiddick Island, and Apollo11 lands on the moon...

This song never fails to fill me with absolute joy. I'm a musician myself, and yet I can't explain just how special this song is. Like others, I recommend watching the Woodstock documentary. There are a couple of different versions of the movie, including some rather long "director's cut" type versions. If you watch the long version, feel free to break it up over a day or two. It's too much to take it all in during one sitting. (The concert took 3 days, after all.) For anyone who doesn't know, the concert was intended to take place in Woodstock, NY. That town is worth visiting to this day for its hippie vibe. (The last time I visited, there was a drumming circle in the center of town that must have been at least 100 people strong.) Back in 1969, though, the Woodstock authorities pulled the plug on the concert, worried about what drug-fueled, protesting youth would do to their town. The organizers of the concert were left to scramble and find a new place to host the concert. A dairy farmer named Max Yasgur said, "You can use my farmland." He wasn't a young guy or a hippie, he just wanted to help out, and his name is remembered to this day. The result is that Woodstock didn't take place in Woodstock, but instead over in Bethel, NY. That's a place worth visiting if you want to see where Woodstock took place. They've done a great job commemorating the area. They've also kept it mostly non-commercial; there's no fast-food anywhere nearby, no convenience stores. It's really very, very remote. So remote you wonder how everyone managed to get there. (The documentary shows how jammed the roads were; hundreds of cars were abandoned on the roadside so folks could walk the last few miles to get there.) Today, the Woodstock concert area is remarkably well-preserved. You can see exactly where the stage was, where the skinny dipping happened in the lake behind the staging area, and so on. You are free to walk around and take your time. They've built a museum and concert area near the top of the hill called the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. It's all worth visiting if you are interested in Woodstock and are ever near that area. Is it worth going out of your way for? If you've got the spirit of Woodstock in you, absolutely.

Woodstock...one slept on whatever was available...the ground, car hoods, anything. The air was filled with the smell of pot. it was a lovefest. There was only one real Woodstock...never repeated.

Oh my gosh guys, Woodstock was the reason we have festivals now, but there was one. All the best artists of the time, all in the same muddy field, over the course of 3 days. Wish I could time travel, that's where I would go.

I was going to go with my cousins and their friends then my Grandma heard it was getting traffic jammed for MILES MILES AND MILES around so I sat in my grandma's sun porch, was hooking a hand made rug while I listened to the live broadcasting of the weekend on a local radio from Sre. Catherine's, near Niagara Falls, Canada. The original - the truly one and only - Woodstock. Janis, Richie Havens, Paul Butterfield, Canned Heat, Jimi Hendrix, 10 Years After, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby Stills & Nash, and the list goes on!!! So many amazing artists

Should do WOODSTOCK WEDNESDAY… so many great preferences… Santana , Hendrix, Ten Years After , Crosby Stills and Nash just to name a few .!!

Yes, finally some Canned Heat!!!! How about Country Joe McDonald or Arlo Guthrie appearance at Woodstock 69 next? lol You guys are great. Thanks for reactions.

My parents took all 4 kids to a folk/rock concert at the Hamilton Forum in 1972. My little sister was only 4. They took us specifically to see Melanie (Safka) because we loved her. We grew up listening to the Woodstock soundtrack, CCR, Rolling Stones, Sly & The Family Stone (you should def check them out) and my mum took us to see the Woodstock movie around 1973. I was the oldest at 11. My parents were too old to be hippies, but they loved music and never stopped listening to new music. My 83 year old mum still vacuums to AC/DC Thunderstruck. ✌️❤️🇨🇦

Woodstock Music and Art Fair, commonly referred to simply as Woodstock, was a music festival held August 15-18, 1969, on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, Janis Joplin, Country, Joe, Jimmy Hendrix, The Who, and MANY MANY MORE were there. It was the first. As many as three babies were born at Woodstock. Singer John Sebastian, who says he was tripping during his performance, told the crowd, “That kid is going to be far out.”

Great scenes from Woodstock but I'd like to have seen some shots of the band tool I went to a couple of other Rock Festivals in Florida and even played at one before 20,000 people. It was a magical time. Those bands you mentioned played at Woodstock - there was only 1 which lasted 3 days & nights. I almost got to go but I was too broke. My friend went and had stories to tell and was actually in the movie. The festivals I went to were very much like Woodstock in the vibes and atmosphere of love and peace and celebration of free-spiritedness. Never did I see anyone in conflict with anyone else or perpetrating violence. It was love your brothers and sisters without judgement. It really was like that.

Always a good listen. Dig it! Have you listened to America "A Horse With No Name" "Sister Golden Hair" "Tin Man" "You Can Do Magic" and others. Good stuff.

The late great Allan Wilson and his strangely perfect voice. He was the voice of Canned Heat. R.I.P. Allan.

Woodstock wasn't the only giant fest. Regional festivals preceded and followed Woodstock, including Atlanta International Pop Festival, a month prior. They all had the same vibe. Hundreds of thousands of young people getting along and having a great time experiencing great music.

"Let's Work Together" and "On The Road Again" are also great songs by Canned Heat.

You guys should definitely listen to Jimi Hendrix perform the "Star Spangled Banner" live at Woodstock in 1969. He absolutely kills his guitar on that one. It was a very controversial performance at the time. A lot of people considered it disrespectful to do a hard rock version of the national anthem, but Hendrix fans loved it. I guess the critics did not know that the "Star Spangled Banner" was set to the tune of an old English drinking song.

I could totally imagine Amber with flowers in her hair dancing around in the mud at Woodstock. Her eyes would have stars in them.

I wore grooves in that Woodstock album! It was a special time in my life!!!

"Taking Woodstock" is another great film that touches on the festival that became connected to the '60s. It wasn't intended to be as big as it was, but the crowds flowed in from everywhere.

This is a cover of Henry Thomas's 'Bull Doze Blues'. In his original recording he accompanies himself on guitar and pan pipes.

There was only ONE Woodstock, lol. I don’t have to imagine it. It wasn’t just the flute, listen to that bass run, and drumming. Be careful, watch out for that brown ACID hahahaha. That guy in the silhouette dancing with that wavy curly hair, his name was Fantoosie.

THE Woodstock was in 1969. That's the one where Janis and Joe Cocker performed. There was a Woodstock 1994 (25th anniversary) and a Woodstock 1999 (30th anniversary), and maybe there were others, but they never recaptured the magic. You should see the Woodstock movie, as others have mentioned here. Not only does it show (some of) the performances, but it also gives you a sense of what was going on around the festival. I am always moved by the part where Max Yasgur addresses the crowd. It was his farm that ultimately served as the venue (and a home for 400,000+ people for 3 days). You guys will love it. -JR in Miami

There was only ONE Woodstock! I know they tried to replicate it in the 90's. But it was a one-time concert. They didnt expect that many people to show up and when they just kept coming, they gave up charging and let everyone in for free. Its hard to pick a favorite Janis Joplin performance, but her performance of "Work Me Lord" at Woodstock is my favorite performance of hers. I know you guys will love it, its super soulful and she just tears that song up! This is the song and the right version of it at Woodstock: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cd-To3CraUc.html

Canned Heat is my favorite band right now. They had so much energy and presence on stage. Need to watch some of the Woodstock footage of them on stage. The other lead singer Bob “The Bear” Hite had such a big powerful voice. So many great songs.

The image I really appreciated was the three nuns checking everything out!

This definitely how we felt in the summer back in them days . Yes that is how Woodstock looked even though I was to young for it

Woodstock was a magical moment, never repeated...The movie "Taking Woodstock" shows what it took to make this amazing 3 day event happen, great movie...Or Just the film "Woodstock" gives you everything...Thanks, Peace

Woodstock wasn't a reoccurring festival. It was held August 15-18, 1969. All that talent was their mingling together. There were a few attempts to recreate it, like Woodstock 99, but they are not the same. I was 8 years old at the time.

Yes this is what it looked like. I was about 80 feet from the stage when Canned Heat played on that Saturday night. They didn't make it into the movie but there is video somewhere on RU-vid of their performance. One thing that sticks in my mind about Canned Heat was the singer Bob "The Bear" Hite picked up one of the cameramen in one arm in the middle of a song. Bands played all through the night.

The original version of this song was recorded in 1928 by a bluesman named Henry Thomas. Alan Wilson who sings here was the group historian and had heard that recording. The flute played on the original recording was a sort of folk panpipe called Quills. Wilson had come out to California to work with guitarist John Fahey doing music research. As far as Woodstock at that time 1969 there was only one. The festival where Janis Joplin came into prominance was the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. I was there and saw her afternoon performance. She blew everyone away and was given a spot at the primetime evening performance where she further blew everyone away.

I was only a year old during Woodstock. Missed that one. And my parents were into 50's music. Not hippies at all. But when I was working at the casino in Las Vegas in the 90's and The Great full Dead came through, it was totally the same vibe. And a lot of fun watching people of all ages dressed as hippies and dancing in the hallways of the hotel. You should probably check out The Greatful Dead.

Woodstock was 4 days in August of 1969. Janis performed on day 2 right after Creedence Clearwater Revival.

It has been said ‘ if you remember Woodstock, then you weren’t there! ‘ 😊

I was 18 years old in 1969 and still consider myself a hippie. Woodstock was planned to be a much smaller music festival but when nearly a half million people showed up it turned into the biggest "happening" to date. Planned arrangements went out the window and many came together to help the mostly young people who had shown up. You need to know that unlike today, things were less organized and happened more organically. Drug use was a part of the culture but in my experiences it was recreational marijuana and alcohol and not harder, more addictive drugs that most of us kids were "experimenting with". Where I came from there wasn't a big problem with crime due to drugs. This was a time when many young men were dying in Vietnam and those at home were praying their draft lottery numbers would not be drawn. It was a time of protest of war, civil rights and women's issues. We sought a peaceful, more inclusive world and I still am seeking just that.

That's the great Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson on vocals and guitar.

You need to watch the documentary on Woodstock to get a better idea of what was going on. Plus, it’s just fun!!

You have those hippie souls! Welcome to my Era (I'm 68 and love your reactions). Welcome to the greatest musical Era ever ✌❤

CCR, who also played Woodstock 69, wrote their hit Up Around the Bend about playing at Woodstock! ❤️💙🎼✌️

As my husband used to joke "If you remember Woodstock, you weren’t there."😂☮️✌🏻🌸

This is from the Woodstock documentary, and based on your reaction, you absolutely must watch that movie. Fun fact: This isn't your first Woodstock reaction; you did the Woodstock version of Joe Cocker's "Little Help from My Friends!" Next Stops, Woodstock Edition: Janis Joplin, "Ball and Chain" live, Woodstock, 1969. The Who, "My Generation" live, Woodstock, 1969. Jimi Hendrix, "The Star Spangled Banner" live, Woodstock, 1969.

Guitar player/vocalist, Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson is one of the earlier members of club 27. He died of a heroin overdose at that age in 1970. The band was on a roll at the time, but that all ended.

Woodstock was 1969 on a farmer's land in Woodstock NY! Hundreds of thousands in attendance. Acts included nearly everyone. Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Canned Heat, Joan Baez. Etc.

Another great Canned Heat song is "On The Road Again"

People have really romanticized the hippy era, the music was absolutely amazing and creative, fresh and new. But the love that hippies were searching for and reached out for in one another was sadly short-lived. I think this was primarily due to the drug influence. But at the same time there was an innocence about those things that we know better about today. The tale of the hippies has a sad side too that left many of that generation scarred and unable to function well after the movement was over. You should do some research on this an what happened in the Summer of Love in San Fransisco. It was a heart breaking site, thousands of kids had caravanned across the country to get there, only to sleep on the streets, dirty, abandoned and starving. Crime of all kinds rose dramatically as it does when there is drugs and desperation. So while it is good to celebrate the intention of those sweet kids of long ago who wanted peace and love and flower power, it is also a cautionary tale. Its important to not forget that part of the story. You guys are doing a great job enjoyed the songs this week very much.

I heard this song on the radio today and instantly thought Amber would love this one.

Woodstock was only one year 1969 in New York ....Janis Joplin, C S N , Jefferson Airplane, Canned Heat, Jimmy Hendrix, Richie Havens, Joni Mitchell, Joe Cocker ....etc

A little trivia for ya. Canned Heat took their name from a song released in 1929 by Tommy Johnson, a delta blues singer, called “Canned Heat Blues.” Back during prohibition, people found many inventive and deadly ways to get high. One of them being ingesting “Canned Heat,” the nickname for Sterno. This had truly nasty physical effects on a body and hence, canned heat blues. Check out the dbl album with them and John Lee Hooker called “Hooker ‘N Heat 1971. A real classic.

You guys should do 10 Years After "Going Home". Performed at Woodstock. Alvin Lee and his brother Rick do an awesome job.

‘A Change is Gonna Come” is a great song, where a random fan jumps up on stage and Bob Hite, the singer lets him stay up there and jams with him for a few minutes.

There is only one Woodstock.Janis was on day 2.Saturday, August 16,1968.She was the 11th singer of the day.She sang Raise your hand, as good as you've been to this world, to love somebody ,summertime, try just a little bit harder ,cosmic blues, can't turn You loose ,work Me Lord, piece of my heart and ball and chain.I wish I could have been there but I was 29 days old when she performed.lol.Joe Cocker opened on day 3.Sunday, August 17th,1969.He sang Delta Lady, Some Things Going On,Let's Get Stoned,I Shall Be Released,and With A Little Help From My Friends.
