A month before (around July 20, 1969) I saw Jimi Hendrix appear on the Tonight Show as Flip Wilson sat in for Johnny. Don't really recall what he played but he brought the house down. This was a precursor of his Woodstock appearance. In retrospect, the sound system for the bands was pretty weak in light of today' technology. But there was lots of heart and passion. The performances I recall from the movie documentary and LPs were CS&amp;N, Joe Cocker, Santana, and Ten Years After. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/it-was-40-years-ago-today#post-12 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 07:34:07 +0000 Joe 12@http://babyboomersus.net/ Just a little taste of what it was like at the Greatest Gathering of our Generation.<br /> For your enjoyment, a clip from 40 years ago today. Joe Cocker sings "What would you do if I sang out of tune" to listen to while you watch.<br /> <br /> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GWpjLzKV1ZI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GWpjLzKV1ZI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object>
