      Yup isn’t that fantastic. A crowd who enjoyed music. They were into it so much. Unlike today’s concert goers who film on their phones and watch it through that instead of watching it with their EYES!! You don’t see that kind of stuff anymore. Neither do you see great rock bands like canned heat and many others.

    I was about 80 feet away when they played this. The cameraman who shot these closeups was picked up in one arm by Bob "The Bear" Hite in one arm and with the microphone in the other hand kept on singing. I wish there was video of that somewhere. This was Saturday night. Canned Heat brought a lot of energy to a fairly stoned crowd. A great memory.

I'm 71 now and living in France with a much younger wife and our twelve year old daughter who, sadly, simply doesn't understand why I like this music so much. At this age, all they're into is techno. Horrid techno to boot. And I totally disagree that children have always loathed their parents' music. I recall loving Sinatra and Count Basie as well as Joplin, Hendrix, Heat, and the rest.

The guy did some acting in one of Andy Warhol’s films. Very interesting if you can locate it. Yeah, Jim was damn interesting and the Doors were a transcendent band. A few years ago I was in LA and visited some of Jim’s old haunts including the motel and the place where they had admin offices and recorded LA Woman.

      When I was a kid, I got to watch this on television, some time in the early 1980’s. It was broadcast on Maryland Public Television, during one of their donation pledge drives. My parents invited a bunch of their close friends to our house, and had watch party for the broadcast. It’s a great memory from my childhood, and really kicked off my lifetime love of music. It came full circle when I attended the festival in 1994, and got to see some amazing performances at that one.

      No it didn't. They were high as kites. They weren't all that good. In fact they're solidly mediocre. I like their music because it is SO BOILERPLATE GENERIC. It's like going to a beginner's class "Blues 101" for Freshman. You listen to this old stuff and it is SO BASIC. Maybe it sounds impressive to non-musicians, but it isn't impressive music. I like simple. I admire bands that can make good music out of basic stuff, like McGyver, but with guitars n' stuff. But "good" they weren't.

On the last day of the Festival, Canned Heat played the last set and after an hour of boogie, the concert promoters took away the sound system and then the Hells Angels went out and brought back another sound system and Canned Heat continued to play boogie music for another 2 hours. It was beyond words...so grateful I got to see them play that day.

    As a young man well after the time of Woodstock and the music revival of the 60’s, and as a student of music, it’s always amazed me the art from this time period. One must be a student of history and the history of music to be influenced the way the men and women of the 60’s and early 70’s were. Early to mid century blues obviously had a profound impact, as well as bluegrass, and folk roots. It shines through in the many greats of the time period, even bringing the old blues men into the limelight to finally get their due and recognition. When the English joined in on the revival, you could see the influences heavy within their music as well. The writing, poetry, and singer-songwriting was absolutely out of this world.
