Just the other day, as I was having dinner at some friends place, we started listening to some golden oldies. And I said "Next time I'm home, I'm gonna make a playlist on Spotify with tunes from the Woodstock-era". I actually said it in Norwegian, but that's not the point. And so I did. Or at least, I made a list with songs that have that feel to it. Maybe it's because some of those songs really just makes me wanna sit around in a big park with friends, drinking a beer, enjoying the sun and some of the amazing music that were created before I was.
Anyway, here is a little selection of some of those songs. Enjoy!
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit ( Live from Woodstock 1969 )
The Mamas & The Papas - California Dreamin'
The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin
The Beach Boys - God Only Knows
Melanie - Ruby Tuesday ( Rolling Stones cover )
Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower

ReplyDeleteWell, this is 1971, a bit late for Woodstock, but check this song out (you might recognise it from the helicopter paranoia scene in Goodfellas) . . . . play loud!

I'm planning to go to Woodstock in September to see Levon Helm, the drummer from The Band - he lives there and puts on concerts in his house/studio. If you don't know "The Night The Drove Old Dixie Down check out this version from The Last Waltz" - a concert film directed by Martin Scorsese. Levon hates the film but he admits that this is the best they ever played this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMHyovwX7JM
ReplyDeleteCheck out Patti Smith's White Rabbit version, love it too! (in fact, check out her 'twelve' album, her versions of Gimme shelter and Smells Like Teen spirits are fantastic!!)
