Speaking of WOODSTOCK....

[Heel n Toe]

Ladies and gentlemen, as a longtime fan of Creedence Clearwater Revival, I'm very pleased to announce that a small dream of mine is finally coming true.

A lot of people don't even know they performed at Woodstock, thanks to the sick, demented, perfectionism of John Fogerty; due to some technical/sound problems, he wouldn't allow the producers of the original film to include any of their set.

But that's all gonna change this summer. I ran across this just now on IMDb.com. Some of you may already know this, but it is the first I have heard about it. Click the link at the end for more info:

WHV Press Release: Woodstock 40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition

Burbank, CA, March 11, 2009 – Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music – the four-hour director's cut of the 1970 Oscar®-winning documentary about the landmark music event that featured some of the greatest rock 'n' roll performers in history -- will be released June 9 in a spectacular new limited, numbered Blu-ray and DVD Ultimate Collector's Edition (UCE). With two extra hours of rare performance footage -- some of it newly-discovered, some only seen in part and some never seen at all -- the UCE is destined to make its own history.

Today, four decades later, Woodstock still resonates deeply with those that attended and those that wished they had. Director Michael Wadleigh notes, "Based on the vast e-mails and calls I've received, many from young people, it's very evident that people still relate so much to the film and view the '60s as an age when anything and everything was possible, mostly good. Many hope for a new Woodstock generation since what people loved back then was spontaneity, originality, innocence and honesty - even in superstars; that's why Woodstock, with its open and natural philosophy, has become timeless."

The two extra hours of rare performance footage features 18 new performances as never before seen from 13 groups, including Joan Baez, Country Joe McDonald, Santana, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Canned Heat, Joe Cocker and five (Paul Butterfield, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Grateful Dead, Johnny Winter and Mountain) who played at Woodstock but never appeared in any film version.

FULL DESCRIPTION OF 18 BONUS PERFORMANCES
· Joan Baez "One Day at a Time"
· Country Joe McDonald "Flying High"
· Santana "Evil Ways"
· Canned Heat "I'm Her Man" and "On the Road Again"
· Mountain "Beside the Sea" and "Southbound Train"
· Grateful Dead "Turn On Your Love Light"
· Creedence Clearwater Revival "Born on the Bayou", "I've Put a Spell on You" and "Keep on Chooglin'"

I've seen those three songs on some pirated film another fan got ahold of somehow and transferred to video and sent to me in the late 90's... and it's classic Creedence.

I'm excited that the Butterfield Blues Band is being included, too.

A P-Car at Woodstock!

[911pcars]

The first band to play at Woodstock was Sweetwater - formed by some of my buds from high school. In fact, I could claim I was an original member of the teen group that was to eventually form Sweetwater, but that was in jr. high so I don't think that counts.
