Happy 50th Woodstock – Day 3

Happy 50th Woodstock – Day 3

August 17-18, 2019
As it turns out, I am getting to relive Woodstock for the first time.  Rhino Records has released a 38 CD set, documenting nearly 100 percent of what happened on the stage.  University of Pennsylvania’s radio station WXPN is doing one of the greatest things (for my money) ever.  They are broadcasting the entire weekend to the minute.  The whole shebang – not only that, they are synchronizing start times, so right now I’m getting ready for “morning maniac music” – as Jefferson Airplane starts their set at 8:00 this morning.  Almost every band played incredible sets of music – most of which we have never heard before.  I have also enjoyed much of the stage banter and announcements.  Tune in for some freaky flashback fun.
Jimi Hendrix closing the show. You can leave if you want, he’s just jammin’.

Here are few more choice tunes from 50 years ago today and tomorrow. 
Butterfield Blues Band – Love March

The Who – See Me, Feel Me

Jimi Hendrix – Villanova Junction
