50 years ago.........

what happened to the baby that was born at Woodstock? the one John Sebastian said was going to be "far out"?

She grew up far out ... in the country!

Only one band that was booked was a no-show.

IRON BUTTERFLY!

I was home on leave that weekend and saw some hitch-hikers looking for a ride to some place upstate that I had never heard of. I had no idea what was going on. They didn't publicize it much on base. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

They told him don't worry we know your situation.

1. "Born on the Bayou" – 5:34

Creedence Clearwater Revival -----Looks like a great set...wasn't in the film or Soundtrack...they were on top of their game then...so probably pretty good. "Fortunate Son" reminds me of our current fearless leader.




Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no Originally Posted by matchingmole

And the youth vote put Richard Nixon in the White House.

John Fogarty is a genius and a fine guitar player. Originally Posted by bambino

This isn’t related to Woodstock. But a great jam at Austin City Limits. Buddy Holly tune with the Bo Didley beat.

I thought he had "permission", but didn't want to sing the songs, because they put a sour taste in his mouth.. because he didn't own the CCR name. then finally decided those were HIS songs, fuck the rest of them.

Agreed.....those acid guitar leads on Suzie Q Part Two are fantastic. He doesn't get the respect he deserves. Born on The Bayou is another prime example of some of his best work.

"Lodi" and "Commotion" were non-hits that were big hit material.. CCR was unstoppable in 1969-70 alone. those 2 years are better than 10 years from most other good bands.

My all time favorite CCR, Better run thru the jungle....

I’m partial to “down on the corner” It’s a happy tune.

With an orchestra:

I think his best riff is “Around the bend”

I'll be damned.. the non-singing/writing faction sued the fucking band leader, about HIS song that they owned!

un-grateful Bastards!

slightly off topic but seeing the OP's story about Woodstock reminds me of something I read not long ago about a young couple from Middletown New York, Bobbi Kelley age 19, and Nick Ercoline, age 20 they'd been dating a few months and when they heard reports on the local radio that all the roads into Bethel, where Woodstock was being held, were hopelessly blocked with stalled traffic and they were advising people to stay away ..... well these two figured this was something they didn't want to miss and since they knew the backroads pretty well they grabbed a couple of friends they jumped in Nick's mom's station wagon and they took off ..... well they ended up having to park at the side of the road like thousands of other vehicles and they walked in, and on the way they found this old quilt that someone had discarded and they decided to pick it up so they'd have something to sit on ..... and on saturday the monsoon happened,but on sunday morning as the sun is coming up Bobbi and Nick stand up and hug each other, with her head leaning into his shoulder, and they are wrapped in this now very muddy quilt ..... both of them say they never noticed the photographer who happened by and took their picture .....the picture which ended up being on the cover of the Woodstock soundtrack album ..... Nick and Bobbi stayed together and got married in August of 1971 and had 2 children ..... and they are still together today, getting ready to celebrate their 48th wedding anniversary and both of them excited about the 50th anniversary of the festival .....
