I stand corrected, by myself - they were probably not part of the Canterbury Scene group of groups, but I have to do more research...Brah wrote:Wow, what was that....not the Renaissance I grew up with. The post-Keith Relf / pre-Annie Haslam version, very interesting.JR8 wrote:Alt. but lovely

Curious how one 'connects' to music. This album also made a permanent connection with me; still does. Even today I feel I have some kind of 'tiny ownership' over it...
Is it time and place? But this is arguably prairie-rock, and I was living in London. So how?
The lyrics or concepts? Sharing the values? Maybe.
Remember hearing this music during a chase scene in a Shaw Brothers kung-fu movie set in late 60's Hong Kong. Somehow it fit so well.Mi Amigo wrote:Talking about old stuff, I heard this on the radio today - reminded how utterly fab and far out the Piper at the Gates of Dawn album was (is). RIP Syd...
Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive
Here's another one with a Chinese connection (borrowed lyrics):
"Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun"

They played a shorter version for Bouton Rouge - stripped down, but still interesting to see:

Time was a part of it, though they were a generation before mine, we just looked like them, with our long hair, suede fringe jackets, flares (bellbottoms were already passe then), and, by the time I was old enough, the war was well past over, so we had nothing to protest against like they did. I think we were a kind of lost generation. But great music.JR8 wrote:Brah wrote: For me Deja Vu is one of those few albums of Desert Island caliber., along with about 20 or 30 others.

Sorry, couldn't find a live performance.

LOL.... we were sort of protesting Cambodia. But didn't understand why.
Still as a back-stop, the Who and Deep Purple were cool.
Are you referring to Country Joe McDonald?JR8 wrote:They played Woodstock....
Yes, he did play at Woodstock, with the modified "Fish Cheer" and "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixing-To-Die-Rag" making the movie and the 1st record.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dATyZBEeDJ4
He got a lot of people up on their feet.
The movie even encouraged the audience to sing-along with the bouncing ball.
IIRC they're listed Country Joe and the fish, on the CD, DVD, and even in the clip you linked.maneo wrote:Are you referring to Country Joe McDonald?JR8 wrote:They played Woodstock....

Wikipedia states that the band at that time was a second version of a line up... '[i]The 1967 lineup lasted only two years, and by the 1969 Woodstock Festival, the lineup included Greg 'Duke' Dewey (drums), Mark Kapner (keyboards) and Doug Metzler (bass).[/i]' ...
He performed twice, first as "Country Joe McDonald" at 1 PM, Sat 16 Aug, then again as "Country Joe and the Fish" at 6:30 PM Sun, 17 Aug.JR8 wrote:IIRC they're listed Country Joe and the fish, on the CD, DVD, and even in the clip you linked.

He did "The 'Fish' Cheer" and "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixing-To-Die-Rag" both times, but from the lighting (and the solo acoustic guitar) it looks like the film showed the earlier performance.
Now, one of the really amazing performances immediately followed Country Joe on Sat - the relatively unknown Santana doing "Soul Sacrifice" with a young 20 year old Michael Shrieve having a great time on the drums:

Next week will be the 45th "anniversary."
Enjoy.

--- Lesser known. Yeah like a funky jamming session, before the time of funk. Nice.
