Renaissance - Live on French TV 1972

Wow, what was that....not the Renaissance I grew up with. The post-Keith Relf / pre-Annie Haslam version, very interesting.

Early days of the Canterbury Scene.

I stand corrected, by myself - they were probably not part of the Canterbury Scene group of groups, but I have to do more research...

For me Deja Vu is one of those few albums of Desert Island caliber., along with about 20 or 30 others.

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.

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

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.

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:

I'd like to see a 'pills list' regarding where there heads were at at that time...

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.

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.

They played Woodstock....

They played Woodstock....

Are you referring to Country Joe McDonald?

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.

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.

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.
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.

Yeah, I know.

It'd be cool for that to be your birthday ;;

Jimi Hendrix - Funky Jam




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