 Seen them was i was way younger, in the 7 ties.

Some of the band members are still playing and the band in name still exist!

 

Marvelous blues band in the 7ties. With drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk who changed to Golden Earring

 

In this line is also , the BIntangs, with Jan Akkerman on guitar, once said to be worlds best guitar player at that time. Dont know as there were many guitar players, so who is the best?

Played also in Brainbox and Focus..

 

 

Some time later, 8 ties , harder playing band Vengeance

 

 

Well known number Venus by shocking blue, later covered by bananarama.

shocking blue did 2 million copies, gold , in USA. Not bad for a Dutch band at that time.

 

  

Or this one from the past, song used in movie "reservoir dogs", worldwide known.

 

He made another song and also worldwide known, I prefer "little green bag"

BUt here it is, you will know it.

The American Breed were a one hit wonder pop band, but a good tune with a great beat.  This song was a standard on AM radio in '67 and '68.  A must for your 45 RPM record collection back in the day.

The Grass Roots were probably best known for their '68 single, Midnight Confessions.  Another pop band that featured brass, and another AM radio standard in '68.  Found on their '68 Golden Grass: Their Greatest Hits LP.

Can't think of what to play next?  Need some inspiration?  Here's a gold mine for folks.

Bill Graham Show Archive

When Bill Graham decided to close the doors to the Fillmore West for the final time in 1971, he knew there was only one band worthy of accomplishing the task of headlining the final show: Santana. The group was long a pet-project of Graham’s — he got them onto the bill at Woodstock before they even had a record out — and Carlos Santana himself viewed the promoter’s various venues as sonic laboratories. “We learned to create different experiments with sounds and rhythms and songs and moods at the Fillmore West,” he once told Rock Cellar. Other folks noticed too. “After a while I realized even Jimi Hendrix was listening to us,” Santana added. “All of a sudden Jimi Hendrix has congas and timbales too.” Despite the fact that the band was embroiled in personal conflicts, they played a hot set that night, filled with tracks from their soon-to-be-No. 1 album Santana III. The fact they had to go on after Creedence Clearwater Revival combined with the overwhelming sense of finality in the air certainly helped spur them to give it their best. The show finally ended in the wee hours of the morning with a lengthy jam on the song that helped make them stars “Soul Sacrifice.” As send-offs go, it doesn’t get much more impassioned or emotional as that.

A splendid bit of rock 'n' roll history.  Apropos that Hendrix' dedication song was Machine Gun.  Excellent audio quality, which wasn't always the case for Fillmore concerts.

 

Tune in and drop out with Jimi Hendrix live at Fillmore East 1970 | Requiem for Fred Hampton and Mark Clark | Full Concert

A musical and video interpretation of the December 4th, 1969 shooting of Illinois Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and by members of the Chicago Police and agents the office of state attorney Edward Hanrahan, an event that proved seminal in postwar American race relations social history.

 

It is recounted through interwoven sound and film footage of the January 1st, 1970 concert performance by Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles, and Billy Cox (under the impromptu name, "A Band of Gypsys") at the Fillmore East theater in New York City's East Village and archival video of the Vietnam era.

 

The short film features a vivid split-screen montage (evocative of Canadian director Norman Jewison's 1968 "The Thomas Crown Affair') of the turmoil, violence and pyrotechnical chaos that engulfed U.S. domestic and international politics in that epoch.
