Santana's Black Magic Woman live from  '70 at Tanglewood..

 

 

Nights in White Satin , a classic from 1967   

 

 

 

So many favourites from the Moody Blues it's difficult to pick something.  Live in Paris in .70.

 

 

Jenny Jenny from the Live At The Boston Tea Party concert series from '70.  Beautiful guitar picking by Peter Green.

 

 

I think this was a big hit in 1970

Yes it was.  I remember it well.  Here's a recently released (Nov. 2017) live segment from '68.

 

 

 

I have to admit I did not grew up with The Moody Blues , a bit too early for me , I was a teenager in the late 70's. 

But Justin Hayward, who wrote most of their hits,  made some songs back then that are looked upon as timeless today .  

 

Another one I forgot completely  

 

 

 

 

 

Awesome live Woodstock performance by Canned Heat on (Fried Hockey) Boogie.  Don't accept the shortened versions on YT.  Demand the full 28:34 jam!

 

 

 

 

The Letter written by Wayne Carson , here's the original by The Box Tops 1967 

 

 

But it became more famous when Joe Cocker and Leon Russell made this cover in 1970:

Loved this. His voice sounded even better on a tinny transistor which was all we had at boarding school to pick up the latest sounds back then. 

 

It's been up before but it's just so damn good. Shame youtube doesn't have the original video though anymore. Magic.

 

I remember when Janis Joplin died and Jerry Garcia took a lot of stick for his comments of along the lines of ' Whatever happens, happens.' Some thought he should have been more proactive and protected her from herself.

 Whatever, he didn't take much better care of himself later on!  But Robert Hunter wrote the lyrics and Garcia this tune for her.

 

 

A man possessed, thank God.

That was great jvs and thanks for posting it but I was thinking of the one with Leon Russell on the Mad Dogs tour with the back-up girls. The end is fantastic as they refuse to end the song, trading the refrain between each other.

Here's a version from 69. I remember when some folks took the mick out of Joe because of his unusual arm movements when singing.

Llike a spastic they used to say before that word became non p.c.. But looking at him now I wonder if he was an early proponent of the air guitarist/ come drummer. sometimes he seems to be imitating hitting cymbals, other times his left hand seems to be flaying imaginary strings ( left handed).

 

Normally I can't handle the Captain but this song and Further Than We've Gone from the same album just knock me out.

 

Mesmerizing video. Lead singer Rudy Martinez is the coolest cat ever. The bip-bip-bip-bip organ is intended to evoke the sound of falling tears. 

 

 

 

Getting closer to my home-  for the American soldiers going home from the Vietnam War.

Wonderful foot tapping, head shaking rock

Shin stompin rock
