Special Woodstock edition, marking 44th anniversary of the famous fest. So, below, all from performers who performed, and all live, though not necessarily from Woodstock. (See, earlier today, my two cuts from The Band.) First up, Jimi, with "Hey Joe," about six years before Patti Smith recorded it as her first single. Then The Who, talking bout their/our/my generation. Next, Creedence (like The Band and Janis Joplin, they were cut of the film version) visit the bayou.
Then, Neil Young with three other guys goes "Down By the River" at Big Sur. Next, Janis at Monterey on the night that made her career. Many forget the opening day Woodstock was folkie-oriented, including the great Tim Hardin. Here he is a few years later in a live duet with...Twiggy.
