Since my earlier posting of videos of folks who played at Woodstock 44 years ago this weekend proved so popular (The Who, Jimi, Janis, Creedence, CSNY, Tim Hardin) here are some more! Again, these are all live from that era but not necessarily from Woodstock.
First up, the Airplane, with the wildly optimistic "Revolution." A few months later Marty leaped off the stage at Altamont, as "volunteer of America." when the bikers were beating up fans, and got clocked himself. Next: I suppose we can't do a Woodstock thing without Joe Cocker, even though, about seven years, he snotted on my leg in a NYC studio while I was trying to watch Lee Dorsey and Ronnie Spector sing with Southside Johnny. (Yes, the memoir of my Crawdaddy days will be out soon.) Then, off live TV, Sly gets everyone to dance to the music, but not half a million this time. Then, to mix things up, the most famous cancelled act, Joni Mitchell, did response with a little song about it a few weeks later.
