This video begins with Alan Wilson captivating almost half a million people for two whole minutes using nothing but his guitar. Of course the lack of crowd noise on the recording means nothing but it's hard not to believe the whole place was absolutely pin-drop quiet until the boogie started.
one of the things I love about these videos is seeing how these guys were not performers, they just played the music and shared it with us. They felt the music like we did. This was authentic stuff, not orchestrated entertainment.
So late in life...at age 64 I'm just now finding out how magnificent this band really is. Without Alan Wilson, there is no comparison. Wilson was among the greatest and so few knew who he was. Fascinating performer, grossly underrated, sorely missed and taken WAY too soon. When I find myself having a bad day, turning on Canned Heat performing live is medicine for the soul. How can you NOT be happy after watching this video! Thank you very much for posting this video.
And Bear had the moves! Still love Canned Heat!! And so did my Mom she was in her late 30s and loved Canned Heat! I can still see her dancing to them! MY MOM COULD BOOGIE!!
Certainly not forgotten by me and many others. He was the first of those to die at 27. Within about a month of him passing both Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix were gone also. I remember one time seeing them at the Fillmore and the Allman Brothers with Duane Allman opened for Canned Heat. Shows how big they were in concert.
This is proper music. Everyone just jamming the fuck out of their instruments. It's a seriously beautiful. This is when music was so fucking good. 👌👌👌👌
I’m 71 and still have their COOKBOOK album I bought at a grocery store in 1969 for $1.00. In fact, I’m playing it right now. And don’t forget to boogie….
I'm born in 1985 and I'm loving to hear old music. One night i woke up in a dream and canned Heat were playing on the radio "meet me in The bottom" with John Lee Hooker and I was so excited about that song. The next day I was searching for this band and what I found was that Video, what makes me more excited. Then I found another Song from them and I remebered hearing it, at the age of maybe 8, with my best friend in that days from his fathers record collection and it was our favorite song. How wonderful music is : D
A majority of it was actually not filmed. This entire boogie went on for about 28 minutes, that’s why it randomly cuts to darkness at some points. They often ran out of film at some points during Woodstock because they weren’t expecting so many people to be there. Would have loved to see fito de la parra’s drum solo filmed.
These performances have gave me so much nostalgia to when I would watch them with my uncle, they never get old. I gotta see a band perform just like this before im gone!
wilson's style of play is so awesome in the fact it's not hitting a bunch of notes, but hitting each one perfect. a truly magnificent guitar player and highly underrated.
Had small Woodstock here in Seneca,S.C 70's Charlie B's outside concert about 3 of them if I'm not mistaken ZZ Top Foghat Goose Creek Symphony James Gang Etc
I saw Canned Heat two weeks before Woodstock sitting in the second row at the Fillmore East as well as at Woodstock. One of the greatest concert bands of the era. Between Alan Wilson on rhythm guitar and Larry Taylor on bass with Bob the bear Hite singing they were just amazing.
Still one of my favourite bands. I never tire of listening to Canned Heat. I wish I could time travel back in time to witness this magical moment in music history. It is fantastic that it available to watch in my life time.

I was genuinely wondering if that was Janis there! (It was a bit hard to see but the clothing and hair was making me think it was) no idea why but its so strange seeing all these greats in one place hanging out like actual people, not something you see too often with modern musicians at least!
What a fantastic blues group, one of the best to come out of the USA, to say they were underrated would be an understatement and there will NEVER be another Woodstock.
Watching this for the 30th time or so and I can't help but wonder how much wonderful music never got made for our pleasure. This genius virtuoso Alan Wilson left us way too soon. Another one at 27.
Woodstock really was a blues festival more than anything. With one or two exceptions, and the blues acts were the best, the tightest and the smoothest. These guys don't get enough credit, they were one kickass blues act.
@@andrefecteau What does culture have to do with soul and musical abilities? I have no clue what garbage you're trying to spew but I listen to what I like, not what's "mainstream" or "counter culture".

Yeah. The full version of this live performance clocks in at 29 minutes and has absolutely killer bass and drum solos! Explains why it was pitch black when they finished!
Never knew this until today but blind owl Wilson was from the town right next to mine, never knew these blues legends came from the northeast, always figured the blues were a southern thing but canned heat proved it didn’t matter where you came from the blues is a feeling that anyone can feel and god damn did they feel the blues in their soul these boys
They listened to the Mississippi Delta blues masters. Same thing for the British Invasion; they loved our blues forefathers, thank goodness for them all!🔷
qué forma tan chingona de expresar tu sentimiento hacia esta musica hermosa, felicidades hermano, saludos desde la Ciudad de Mexico hermanados por el Blues Booguie...
This video is witness to the durability of Larry Taylor, the bassist getting into it. 53 years later, he is still performing, playing stand up bass in Kim Wilson's band!
In the day , I didn’t appreciate most of the music of the time. I knew it was great, but I thought that it would get only better. Now we have singers who can’t sing that are promoted by the INDUSTRY. There are many musicians out here with just as much talent as those of the sixties, but they will not be promoted unless they bow to the Industry. SAADDD.
People sometimes forget how unique you had to be if you were playing music like that in America when they did. Noboby played like that - except old black guitar players, and a few really hip white guys like Johnny Winter, Alan Wilson, and Ry Cooder. These guys are legends.
When I look at Woodstock footage, it reminds me of what we all left behind when we needed to get jobs to earn a living. We didn't realize what we had.....
Has that ZZ Top La Grange vibe. You know, back in the day I ignored this band since I was more into the harder rock music. I have now come to appreciate the Blues and also these original rock/blues based bands that came out of that era including this band, plus Janis, Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter, etc. Genius musicianship.
I was 16 working at a burger restaurant along route 7 Danbury Ct "Val's Hamburgers" summer 69. I remember a VW bus pulled into the parking lot. Sprayed on the side was "Woodstock or Bust". Side note. Its unreal what those old VW buses are worth now.
@@andrefecteau it was the shit back in the day. I remember making the sad mistake of putting it on my bicycle chain (Stingray, of course). I might as well have put honey on it. Snake oil? Maybe. I never used it again! LOL!
The biggest unification of loving beautiful people , smoking weed 'a natural herb' and loving each other ..... is what YOUTH WANTS not to be used for gun fodder by corrupt egotistic politicians ........thousands innocents died during that stinking War in Vietnam.......These musicians the cream of the crop showed the World what REAL LIVING MEANS .... Talent like we have never seen since WHY? sad .....
Can still change ! look at Social Enterprise and how it is challenging greedy capitalism - never lose hope I am 65 and still hold same principles of be kind to people and animals , respect mother nature ❤️
We love you Dr. Funkenstein, your funk is the best! Haha Pfunk is my favorite of all time. Especially Funkadelic's first 4 albums. If only we had footage or bootleg live recordings of the original lineup, with Eddie, Billy, Tawl, and Tiki on drums. Shame we dont have much of anything from the Eddie Hazel acid era.
Awesome era of the best original musicians ever. stayin' alive in those times with no parameters on anything wickedly good was really something else. The 27 Club.
28 years old, grew up in Belgium, 100% Rap listener. And yet, these nerds have been giving me a crazy vibe since I was 16 when I discovered them with "On the road again". Fucking hell, you guys must have lived the best years of your life back then. #TooMuchBoogie
Canned Heat used to play at our local club on a fairly regular basis when I was in high school in the late 70’s. All the local kids would go and dance and groove to the boogie jams of Canned Heat at the Topanga Corral. I had no idea what what a lucky little fucker I was not get to listen to this timeless music by legends!
Amazing footage ...Al Wilson playing a 50's Gold Top Les Paul , new guy Harvey Mandel playing a cool black Stratocaster ..BTW , I was at this "gig" , 8/15 /69 or 8/16/69..
The way this starts up at the magical Blue Hour.... the lone guitarist...just so tranquil...everyone takes up their positions,&.........here we go!!!!! This actually makes me so happy, my heart hurts! 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
I can't get enough of this, when the music dies down and he goes into the slide at 5:12, then it cuts to the silhouettes dancing at dusk...I would give anything to have been there!
In 1971 I was lucky enough that Canned Heat were playing in my local ballroom unfortunately Al was gone by then but it was one of the best concerts I have had the pleasure of being at, by the way the support band was Stone the Crows what a night. All for one pound and fifty pence.
Dear William, Sounds a great venue, I used to go to the 'Redcar Jazz Club' under the Coatam Hotel on sea front, not sure if Canned heat went to Redcar, but I saw T.Rex there and Hawkwind. That was 1971 I think, I was only 15, but went with my older brother Dennis, it was truly amazing.
The Heat were the real thing. I remember listening to "Collage" in my basement bedroom around 1970 and my mom coming in the room saying "Big Fat, why do you always sing a sad, sad song". I played that record so much even she knew it by heart.
My grandpa died last couple months and I showed him a couple songs from canned heat he was born in 1951 it brought him brought him back good memories that’s why I’ll always will listen to canned heat till I die
Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson!! He died too young, at least he played in the BEST era... Monterey Pop festival & Woodstock!! That's something I would pay to have on my music resume! Lol 🎸🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵✌️😁

God I didn't think of that the silences, even Bob was patient, I love everything this video captures, the sun gone down almost ect
Wish I had been there. Not born at the right time.
One of my all time favorite bands .
Probably not even a quarter of that people heard anything lol
Was still at school at the time of this whole weekend

Exactly no gimmicks just into their music a great example of less is more when heart & soul is in it
Just a little cooler than watching the garbage “ entertainers “ today
Well said and exactly!!
Thanks, you said so well, the magic, the soul connection, never rehearsed just shared.
Once upon a time in a magical place the Bear loved the Owl and they played together beautifully.
Don’t forget the Mole
Yeahhhhh, pure magic!!!!
You got that right brother!🤟
Ain't that it that's something heavenly hallelujah
Well said brother !!😲👍😉
How can you not love a guy that has an STP sticker on his guitar .....
I said the same thing.
I remember those stickers as a child lol. Laying around. Probably my older Brothers lol.
62 here. 🇨🇦 Definitely recognize STP
Still wear my original 80s’ STP cap thanks grand pap RIP
That's a 50s Les Paul goldtop with p90 pickups... rare and expensive to get nowadays, I'd take one even with the STP sticker on it.
Right time, right place, right look, right style, and many have spent the last 50 years trying hard to copy it, but will never succeed
Of course you’re talking about John Lee Hooker
But canned heat copied him…they did great
😊

Wilson was a killer harp player. It's a shame Henry Vestine missed this one. I really dug his ratty style of lead guitar.
Boogie has curative properties!
I couldn't say it better...

RIP Alan Wilson, forgotten member of the 27 Club. And The Bear, hugely underrated singer. Great performance
So true

My 11 month old can’t get enough of this song. He will stop everything he’s doing to rush towards the TV & watch Alan Wilson slide away
That’s a wonderful story..in this day and time..
Your raising him well.
Nothing flashy , no gimmicks , just great music
Just the way it should be! 👍
Amen!
It's great to respond the accessibility is mind candy

I am Alan Wilson I had to go undercover ThankYou so much for appreciating me🤗😍

Raw and in your face, nothing pretentious about Canned Heat....
Easily one of the best performances at Woodstock!
No Sly and the Family Stone!

Ever
For sure.

Lucky you!✌

Still one of my favourite bands. I never tire of listening to Canned Heat. I wish I could time travel back in time to witness this magical moment in music history. It is fantastic that it available to watch in my life time.
I saw them numerous times in Miami Beach at a place called THEE IMAGE, $1.00 admission, back in ‘68-‘69
Tell me why at 80 yrs. old I'm still over the top in love with their .. ❤️🎶🎵🎶❤️💥👌
Because great music is great forever 🎶☮💜
Because you are awesome and love great music!
That's the boogie my brother!!! I'm 33 an LOVE IT!!!
Because it is still the best music around. It is real music and not digital.
83 here and still lovin’ Canned Heat!
Old videos like this, is what makes TH-cam great 🔥
Alan's opening speaks volumes, that guitar is communicating better than words.
Sometimes that’s all it takes
I understand guitar far better than words it seems. My generation had the best music (70 in 2 weeks).

Absolute fucking classic. I’m back in ‘69. This is how you time travel dudes.

He was the real deal
Aaaaaa man..... So flippin wonderful..... Classic and wonderful and just beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

3 glorious days and nights of love ❤️, peace ☮️ and rock n blues…never before never after…. Woodstock is legendary!!!!
Watch Alan's face on slide..feeling each and every note.
His voice. On the road again. Brilliant.
The record Canned Heat did with John Lee Hooker is just WOW!!
Yes, one of my favourite albums of all time
I've got to do myself a favor and pick up that one too! I've heard and/or owned all the albums up to that one.
28 years old, grew up in Belgium, 100% Rap listener. And yet, these nerds have been giving me a crazy vibe since I was 16 when I discovered them with "On the road again". Fucking hell, you guys must have lived the best years of your life back then. #TooMuchBoogie
Never too late to join the party, bro..
Yep!! We gotta keep on boogieing ☮️
Canned Heat used to play at our local club on a fairly regular basis when I was in high school in the late 70’s. All the local kids would go and dance and groove to the boogie jams of Canned Heat at the Topanga Corral. I had no idea what what a lucky little fucker I was not get to listen to this timeless music by legends!
I heard on the grapevine, that they liked a little bit of Speed, aka ((Amphetamine)) to go with there whisky,, 🙂
You know there are so many talented and great bands and singers! I don’t know how anyone could possibly keep up with them all!!!
I know i never even heard of this band until right now. This music is great
The more I listen to this song the more I'm thinking it's one best songs I've ever heard with the quitar opening maybe the best.
On vacation listening to this. Life is good.
All around the world Rock and Roll is hear to stay 🎶. Ladies and Gentlemen Canned Heat
Amazing footage ...Al Wilson playing a 50's Gold Top Les Paul , new guy Harvey Mandel playing a cool black Stratocaster ..BTW , I was at this "gig" , 8/15 /69 or 8/16/69..
***Believe it or Not ...these Hippies are in thier 80's and 90:s by now!! Groove on! Play on Good Children!!
More like late 60's and 70's.
ain't there yet ain't there yet
What a time to be alive. To all those who experienced this i just want to say I envy you
I was 19 and took place 100 miles from my hometown but I was stationed in Guantanamo Bay at the time and could not get leave!!!
@@jerryparrillo8770 did you feel it ? :-p
Larry "The Mole" Taylor was a major influence on me when I played bass in my younger days. So were Jack Bruce and Felix Pappalardi.
Yeah, I did my part in music back in the 60's. And then I decided to become defensive.
Me too! 👍 Larry and Jack 🙏🎸
Felix played at Woodstock too. Mountain’s set might be my most favorite.
The way this starts up at the magical Blue Hour.... the lone guitarist...just so tranquil...everyone takes up their positions,&.........here we go!!!!!
This actually makes me so happy, my heart hurts!
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
I can't get enough of this, when the music dies down and he goes into the slide at 5:12, then it cuts to the silhouettes dancing at dusk...I would give anything to have been there!
Bob's beard should be in the rock and roll hall of fame...
THE Best
The whole band should be in!!
And James Beard's beard from ZZ Top -oh, wait, he is the only one without a beard.
You got to love this guy with his pack of Marlboros in his pocket and stomping out the jams...
In 1971 I was lucky enough that Canned Heat were playing in my local ballroom unfortunately Al was gone by then but it was one of the best concerts I have had the pleasure of being at, by the way the support band was Stone the Crows what a night. All for one pound and fifty pence.
Which ballroom was it William?
@@billwinship3734 It was the Raith Ballroom in Kirkcaldy. Which is no longer there.
Dear William, Sounds a great venue, I used to go to the 'Redcar Jazz Club' under the Coatam Hotel on sea front, not sure if Canned heat went to Redcar, but I saw T.Rex there and Hawkwind. That was 1971 I think, I was only 15, but went with my older brother Dennis, it was truly amazing.
@@parsareshite1 Canned Heat in Kirkaldy? That's brilliant. I wonder if Hite got Chips n Cheese after the gig.
@@hamesmck5061 I don't think chips and cheese were around in 1971 maybe got a Lorne sausage roll on butter or three.
What an awesome riff 👍 what a groovy event Woodstock was 🌼✌️🌻 peace out ....
similar songs with identical riff: spirit in the sky, zz la grange top.
Wow that incredible man has pure essence and magic in his beautiful music that breaks me down to my core every time...
If someone told me I could go back in time and see this live, but they had to kill me after the set was over, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Lmao
what else is going on in your life??
Agreed
Get the dvd less fatal
@@margaretroberts8222 lol true
They were 1 of the very best psychedelic blues bands of all time!!
This is the BLUES,nothing psychedelic about these guys.
The Heat were the real thing. I remember listening to "Collage" in my basement bedroom around 1970 and my mom coming in the room saying "Big Fat, why do you always sing a sad, sad song". I played that record so much even she knew it by heart.
💖
I saw Canned Heat in 1967 at a place in Miami called 'Thee Image" Been hooked ever since.
Keep coming back to this ! So addictive ❤️ toes and leg tapping! Does it for me 👌
Bobs vocals almost add another layer of bass to the whole song. When his voice hits it makes me want to jump up and down.
M R yes agree such an addictive song ! 👌
Blind Owl slide guitar superb 👌
Back to this again ! just wonderful in every area of the band - love what they do❤️
Those p90s with that slide, is the sound right there
I think Alan was pretty ripped here......
My grandpa died last couple months and I showed him a couple songs from canned heat he was born in 1951 it brought him brought him back good memories that’s why I’ll always will listen to canned heat till I die
5:40 Janis Joplin and Grace Slick having an normal convo like Canned Heat isn't blowing everyone's minds
Fucking bullshit huh? They gotta Give up that boogie! Maybe they are figuring out where to sling that boogie to?
Fun fact: Janis and Bear were dating for quite a bit.
Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson!! He died too young, at least he played in the BEST era... Monterey Pop festival & Woodstock!! That's something I would pay to have on my music resume! Lol
🎸🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵✌️😁
