Loved Canned Heat then and always will. Al Wilson and Bob Hite especially. Greatly missed, gone far, far too soon but never, ever forgotten! Still as relevent and as soul lifting today as it was way back then. We miss you Blind Owl and Bear but we will always have your brilliant blues music. Canned Heat for ever!
They were tuning up.....as I walked up to them,set up on the basketball court .No one else was around it was early ....approx 9am. They played......when they finished one of them asked" what do you think ?" .....I gave them thumbs up.....then I warned them." The Brothers are going to be coming out and they are not going to like you being on the court "....as I walked away towards Lou James...they started packing up...Wells Park,Savannah Ga....a year or more later I heard about them ....Canned Heat..... Wood Stock....I was right,"thumbs up". 🎉
Thankfully got to see Canned Heat with the BEAR at Mulwala on the Murray River in Australia. 1971. Just fantastic!! They pissed off a lot of Australian bands as they played 3 hours instead of their One hour slot! I didn't give a shit!! 😂😂
Blind Owl Wilson frkn dead at 27 what tragedy...the Bear at 38 😢 The media always talk about Hendrix, Morrison, Janis, Brian Jones as the great musicians untimely deaths, Wilson's, Pigpen McKernans, Curt Cobains deaths should be mentioned as great losses to rock music in the same breath...RIP all who died too soon.
~~ so many groups from England at the time with their interpretation of American blues - and obviously they had most of the truly virtuoso guitar players - but Alan Wilson was on a different level - he was like the spirit of all the old original blues legends rolled into one, enigmatic, somewhat awkward white guy from Massachusetts ..
Never get tired of great blues bands, and Canned Heat was one of the best! I just watch my Woodstock DVD a couple of days ago 👍 50+ years of listening to this performance, and never it never gets old...
I lived through this era without drugs because you could get high and totally zen on out on a wonderful winding meandering trip with just the music!! It was so uplifting. No glitz, no glam, just being real. Wow, how I miss it. Especially the being real part. Just be.
Larry Taylor one great bass player rarely mentioned in context of greatests. His contributions were numerous, also stints with John Mayall, Pure Food and Drug, played and produced for the Monkees, thVentures, Tom Waits, Pine Top Perkins and sessions with many more great talents!
HELL YEAH THE ONLY WAY TO BOOGIE THE BEST TUNES CAME FROM BACK THEN THEY REALLY KNEW HOW TO HAVE GOOD GREAT DOWN HOME FUN AND JAM OUT HELL YEAH!!!! ❤❤❤
They practiced a few doors down from 'Bills Canyon Country Store' several of us kids used to sit on the retaining wall outside the garage and dig it as they worked things out. Laurel Canyon early seventies. We heard lots of great music at 8, 9, 10, 11 years old. in fact, we kind of took it for granted I guess, didn't understand how lucky we were, because there was all kinds of great music happening in the canyon that we were exposed to early. Now, we are all older and don't know anything, don't 'get it'. O.K. but Iv'e been lucky to have led a pretty interesting life.
@@scttbull Yeah as I said not fully appreciated at the time, bit of an art renaissance up in the canyon John Mayall, Cass Elliot,Mickey Dolenze of the Monkee's (I kid you not, girls used to run up to the fence en masse when he drove by in front of the school, 'Wonderland Ave. Elementary) Jackson Brown (a little later), Joni Mitchell, an obscure band called 'Peanut Butter Conspiracy' several more , music all around us really. Bob Denver star of Gilligan's Island T.V. show lived directly behind our house! Had great music coming from his house regularly too. Weird to think about it all now.
Woodstock The most fun you ever had for 8 hours Then days of misery When you realize you’re out in a muddy field without your bed or any comforts at all. Lol. Hey kudos to them
Its still great music NOW and sad some died early But Will Never be Forgotten and i was Privileged To be Alive when they were Around. Chris Tredwell Birmingham UK Now Aged 77 Years Old Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!
i'm thinking that's a Harvey Mandel(the Snake) guitar solo at 8:00,he was picked up at the last minute to play. He was Charlie Musselwhite blues band guitarist, a great player, loud & in yer face tone!
Yeah, from what I understand this was Harvey’s 1st gig with Canned Heat…. could you imagine?? “Hey, we got some little gig in upstate NY somewhere…thatʻd be a great place for you to sit in while you soak in the material!” Btw, Mandel nearly replaced Mick Taylor in theStones! Imagine the Stones without Ronnie Wood!
He joined them at the Filmore in sf, then at Filmore east, according to the drummer Fitto de la Parra, they didn't have time to practice with Harvey before Woodstock, but you know great musician's adapt to any situation 😅
This is, I guess, a nice film makers"s homage to "Canned Heat" or "Woodstock.' but this is a montage of different performances by the band. Seek out their late night performance--available on the "Woodstock II " album to get the full feeling of what it was like there as they performed "a lovely evening for a boogie."
Yes, there are bits of Canned Heat and crowd shots at Woodstock as there is no full video available for this song. This is the actual song they played (see Back To The Garden 50th Anniversary 38 CD set) which is 28:29 minutes long. The version on Woodstock Two is 13:48 minutes (an edit of the performance). Bob Hite actually said "I do believe it's a lovely evening for a boogie" after playing "Going Up The Country" and before "A Change Is Gonna Come", not before Woodstock Boogie. That was edited into the Woodstock Two version.
@@zeeisaman1Thank you. My experience of that side of the Woodstock II album started in 1973 when, for the first time, I made love to the woman who is still in my life. I would have noticed such editing were it not for my emotional investment in that performance--the mashup of Canned Heat. Thanks again.
Born 1958 keep this music alive at all cost. It's not fair that the lives of these greats are mostly gone. Rock at me on the other side banging my head still.
Bons músicos que sabiam o que tocavam grande simplicidade a actuar em palco é nesta postura que eu admiro estas grandes bandas e bons músicos da decada de 60 grande década inesquecível em memória a todos os que já partiram e os que ainda continuam cá a fazer boa música muito obrigado a eles todos que fizeram e continuam a fazer o bom do Blues rock a não esquecer .Obrigado
I grew up in a small town in Ohio . And believe it or not A few friends and myself saw them at the armory. I figure i was 16 at that time . Yeah I’m older dude now but that was incredible for sure
Can you feel the heat ? Canned heat that is 🔥🔥🔥 rockin to this all the way to the spirit world 🌎 my kind of vibe ✨️ 🎶 peace ☮️ ✌️ love ❤and 🤝 unity 🙏❤️🏴🇬🇧 Sept twenty four ✨️
The cook book is a great album, still have on vinyl from years ago, we have some great blues bands here in the UK, however America has or had the best, this band proves it
1.- Harvey Mandel played with the Stones in their “Black & Blue” album, specifically in “Hot Stuff” and “Memory Motel” 2.- I swear I saw Janis Joplin and Grace Slick chatting in the backstage!
Uno de mis grupos preferidos es Aire Enlatado, han pasado tantos años que los sigo escuchando. Gracias por subir tremenda joya, todos se lucen. Felicitaciones.
A solid video of the song being played in its entirety is what I was hoping for. Instead, it's a collage of footage from the entire Canned Heat set, from day to twilight to evening. Still, it is nice to relive the moments way back then. A different time, and a different way of being. Now it's just crap music.
Somewhere hidden in the depths of Warner Bros. archives is a complete version ( as well as more of the other artists that performed at Woodstock). We'll never see it. In the meantime this is all we have....just trying to recreate a memory with what's available.
True performers. Left handed drummers are such a rarity. Check out their song "Poor Moon". Should have been a very haunting hit...maybe next time in the next phase
One of the high points of that festival but unfortunately they didn't include a lot of the best stuff on the record or lousy film. The producers had another narrative. Legendary performance by Canned Heat finally available.
Loved Canned Heat then and always will. Al Wilson and Bob Hite especially. Greatly missed, gone far, far too soon but never, ever forgotten! Still as relevent and as soul lifting today as it was way back then. We miss you Blind Owl and Bear but we will always have your brilliant blues music. Canned Heat for ever!

Rest in peace big Bob Hite your energy will change the world forever
Massive fan still, first saw them in 1970,Birmingham, UK absolutely brilliant, still grieving for the best boogie/blues band ever!!
Watching with eyes, heads that will never forgot, the " no bloody mobiles" era......good 'ol days
Blind Owl Wilson frkn dead at 27 what tragedy...the Bear at 38 😢 The media always talk about Hendrix, Morrison, Janis, Brian Jones as the great musicians untimely deaths, Wilson's, Pigpen McKernans, Curt Cobains deaths should be mentioned as great losses to rock music in the same breath...RIP all who died too soon.
Curt Cobain hardly fits in with these guys or any others that you mentioned
@@bolivingston1400 sure he does, he's forever a rock and roller dead at 27 whether you like it or not.
The Blind Owl was the real deal !!!
The Bear, proper Rock/Blues voice😎
And yet Kissinger lived to be 100. This ain’t no holy universe, no gods are looking after us. We’re all we got. Stay free, feed your head.
~~ so many groups from England at the time with their interpretation of American blues - and obviously they had most of the truly virtuoso guitar players - but Alan Wilson was on a different level - he was like the spirit of all the old original blues legends rolled into one, enigmatic, somewhat awkward white guy from Massachusetts ..
Blind Owl brought forth the original sound of the old slide guitar guys better than anyone else...
He was a weapon autistic pride lol
@@edgarcook9607wow listen to "in memory of Elizabeth Reed" Duane Allman and Dickie Beets. All slide almost 7 mins fabulous 🤩
Blind Owl was a student of the Blues that's why he's a legend
Canned Heat the best boggie band ever to have lived.
Except for the J- Giles Band.
ZZ Top.
Saw them live many times
Royal trux
Have had a truncated audio of this for 48 years,found this today! One of the all time great live performances? Turn up the Heat!!!
Never get tired of great blues bands, and Canned Heat was one of the best! I just watch my Woodstock DVD a couple of days ago 👍 50+ years of listening to this performance, and never it never gets old...
From 1969 until today-great music for us!
The modern day equivalent to Canned Heat today is Canned Heat back then, never since and never will be any thing like them again …..
Absolutely, Masterpiece,
I see Grace back there 'boogiein', all ready to take off with Airplane's "Morning Mania Music"!!!
I lived through this era without drugs because you could get high and totally zen on out on a wonderful winding meandering trip with just the music!! It was so uplifting. No glitz, no glam, just being real. Wow, how I miss it. Especially the being real part. Just be.
Wow... you got so stoned, you don't even remember getting sky high..... nice....
My drug was the great music
Every weekend back in the 80s for 2 year I dropped an acid with friends....beautiful and easy times
5:55 First time I see the two greatest singers of the time together, JJ and Grace Slick, to the sound of Canned Heat. Fantastic!!
THEY NEED TO BE IN THE MUSIC HALL OF FAME!!! THEM JAMMING LIKE THAT IS ABOUT TO MAKE ME BUST A ....... HELL YEAH ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome as always. I didn't know they had a snippet of Larry "The Mole" Taylor boogeying out. Definitely one of the original headbangers.
Larry Taylor one great bass player rarely mentioned in context of greatests. His contributions were numerous, also stints with John Mayall, Pure Food and Drug, played and produced for the Monkees, thVentures, Tom Waits, Pine Top Perkins and sessions with many more great talents!
Crazy moment °°)
Thanks for that piece of a boogie
A master piece for a master day
**LOVE it**
Canned Heat, what a great stuff.
Gonna Boogie all night long. Canned Heat had half a million people rockin', groovin' and movin' !
28 minutes and 44 seconds of awesome physedelic blues rock. The guitars were so 'wicked'...so edgy with deep mean tones...loved it then and today
Bring this music back,. Now.
Da wurde die Musik noch von Hand gemacht.....Was waren das für schöne und wilden Zeiten......
Ja, Canned Heat war meine Lieblingsband, als ich noch zur Schule ging!! Sah dann 1971 in Australien lebend. Leider war Blind Owl bereits gestorben.
DAS stimmt !!!!!!
Good solo by Fito de la Parra, Harvey Mandel , alan, Bob great sound great boogie!! Canned heat!!
I was there !!! What I remember is Lots of mud and great weed. And lots of it !!!
HELL YES THE ARE ONE OF THE BEST OF THE BESTEST #1#1#1❤❤❤❤❤
Never ever forgotten only getting better and will always live in my heart mind ALWAYS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That may well have been the peak of human civilisation.
Went to the moon and boogied. All night long.
I can't argue with that. The guitars had alot more bite. That Gold Top and the Strat were absolutely 'wicked' edgy. Feedback....omg...
Western at least.
Really great music part of jamming for hours on. Like hot tuna play 5to 6 hrs strait thru non stop kick ass music does were da days outstanding
@@MrPhotodocwhat else is there ? 😂😂
Miss it
One of the first Blues albam I ever purchased. The Heat!
This is very best!!!, Canned Heat, in Woodstock 1969!!❤💙🍷🦉🤘‼️
Alan Wilson sang that way like the old country blues men like Leadbelly.
Boogie is all that matters.
Cool to see a fully version of this. Was an amazing performance in a amazing atmosphere.
Woodstock was Harvey Mandel's third show with the band. Pretty amazing.
He dropped right in
Right on time
You’re peaking at Woodstock and it’s starting to hit too hard and then Canned Heat comes on stage: 🫨
If I’m not mistaken they took the stage first at Woodstock
Ritchie Havens was the first to perform -on day one- day two Canned Heat played
HELL YEAH THE ONLY WAY TO BOOGIE THE BEST TUNES CAME FROM BACK THEN THEY REALLY KNEW HOW TO HAVE GOOD GREAT DOWN HOME FUN AND JAM OUT HELL YEAH!!!! ❤❤❤
Phantastisch, Blues and Boogie can never die!

Wow! As a 51 yr old lover of the classic rock/blues bands I envy this story. Most didn't tour or were dead before I found them.
@@scttbull Yeah as I said not fully appreciated at the time, bit of an art renaissance up in the canyon John Mayall, Cass Elliot,Mickey Dolenze of the Monkee's (I kid you not, girls used to run up to the fence en masse when he drove by in front of the school, 'Wonderland Ave. Elementary) Jackson Brown (a little later), Joni Mitchell, an obscure band called 'Peanut Butter Conspiracy' several more , music all around us really.

@@nicolasrossi5978
Don’t forget, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Strange but Frank Zappa was up there too, haha!😂
One them groups that never ages... rip to the owl and bear
Canned Heat…live…at dusk….amazing atmospherics..!!

I was there. They opened the evening session.
@@Gnofg That is so fricken cool..chills…
Electrifying
Peace and love ☮️✌️
-What did you do for lunch?
-Had me some Canned Heat Woodstock Boogie.

Saw them in Wichita falls TX. 1973 or 74.
canned heat = one of the very best blues bands ever. bob hite = one of the very best blues singers of all time.
Woodstock
The most fun you ever had for 8 hours
Then days of misery
When you realize you’re out in a muddy field without your bed or any comforts at all. Lol.
Hey kudos to them
I'm 58 and have only just discovered them...what good music
Sweet. I'm just rediscovering them.
Welcome to The Tribe.
I first heard them in in 68 when I was 12 years old that was the first time I got drunk on wine
Canned heat is one of the best bands I have heard in 68 I still listen to them and I am 68 years old that that is very interesting
Today
Brutales, los sigo de los 15 y tengo 66.Toda su discografia me encanta.
thanks a lot for uploading!
Amazing concert.
Its still great music NOW and sad some died early But Will Never be

10:33 this is one of the best moments in canned heat history. Just listen to the drums.
esto es realmente musica se puede sentiren el cuerpo y eeleva el espiritu nos pone en contacto con la naturaleza y el cosmos

Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. My time.
This is awsome man.
Thanks
One heck of a jam.
I don’t know anything about this band, but u can’t dismiss that guitarists, they know the blues and more. They really made it their own.
Que profundos, que versión, wahoo
True performers. Left handed drummers are such a rarity. Check out their song "Poor Moon". Should have been a very haunting hit...maybe next time in the next phase
