Sebastian, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Jefferson Airplane, The Who, Janis Joplin, Sly & The Family Stone, Joe Cocker, Sweetwatter, Melanie, Canned Heat, Leslie West & Mountain, Ten Years After, and of course Jimi Hendrix along with many many more to have come to play for that tremendously large crowd of people. Everyone who attended this festival should be commended for all of the conditions they survived for that weekend including food shortage, bathroom conditions, lack of drinking water and so much more. On the 50th anniversary of this legendary festival we won't have as big of a festival to go and celebrate but what they will have for us are three giant legends playing at Bethelwoods where the festival took place in August of 1969 starting on Friday August 16th with Ringo Starr and his All Star Band taking the stage at 7 p.m. but there will be other festivities going on that day at Bethelwoods including a book signing by rock journalist and author Mike Greenblatt who's book just came out in mid-july called "Woodstock 50: Back To Yasgur's Farm" Mike was an original attendee of the original festival and was practically right in the front row for the show and tells his experiences of being in that crowd of 500,000 people and he'll be there signing copies of his book and answering questions for anyone who has any for him as well, he will be there all three days . Along with Mike Greenblatt there will be some bands performing on an outdoor stage before Ringo goes on that night one band included on the outdoor stage is Grammy nominated band American Nomads who will be taking the stage at 5:00 p.m. and will perform until 6:30 in honor of the 50th anniversary of Woodstock American Nomads have a new single written to pay homage to the woodstock era and that song is entitled "1969" the link to their youtube video of this song will be at the end of this article. On August 17th at Bethelwoods you can catch Santana an original alumni member of the 1969 woodstock festival and he'll be joined that night by the Doobie Brothers as a supporting act , and to close out the weekend of festivities at bethelwoods will be another original woodstock alumni memebr none other than John Fogerty on sunday August 17th. There is so much you can do and see at Bethelwoods besides see the great weekend of shows there like you can check out the meuseum of the original woodstock festival. If for some reason you can't get to the festivities there is always some other options like the new 3-cd version of the complete woodstock music out to buy in stores or digitally right now or there is the big full and complete vrsion of all the performances that were at woodstock and that's called Woodstock 50: Back To The Garden and that is 38-cds along with the director's cut of the movie a book of the history of the festival, and much much more so be sure to go out and get into that hippie mode and play that woodstock memorable music. Link to the current single with over 20,000 views on youtube and counting and has also been just recently released to 2,000 radio stations please check out this song it will put you in the mood for some classic woodstock music for sure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAaU_d8OUxM If you want to learn more about Mike greenblatt's book Woodstock 50: Back To Yasgur's Farm you can check out our show we recently did with Mike and hear all about the book and some great stories about the festival by clicking the link below from our archived shows: https://archive.org/details/TalkingHendrixSpecial30GoingBackToYasgursFarmWithMikeGreenblatt5102019 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last Week's Talking Hendrix Show Link: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://archive.org/details/talkinghendrixshow190imsointoyou1969onaslowride892019 Talking Hendrix Show 190 I'm So Into You 1969 On A Slow Ride 8-9-2019 Medley: Slow Ride/Maybellen/I just Wanna Make Love To You/Honey Hush/I'm So Into You/Spooky.Beautiful Lady/A Revelation Is Gonna Come/1969 Foghat/Atlanta Rhythm Section/American Nomads Talking Hendrix Exclusive Mix 2019 Interview with Susan Darmiento from American Nomads was conducted on 8-6-2019 at 6:30 p.m. Interview with Bryan Bassett Of Foghat was Conducted on July 24, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. Interview Conducted with Rodney Justo of Atlanta Rhythm Section was Conducted on August 1, 2019 at 12 noon p.m. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guest Coming Soon... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Louis Walker James Montgomery Matt Kennon Brooks Forsyth Darrell Curly Jones Alley Colleen --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Mission Statement... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talking Hendrix is a journey through Jimi Hendrix's music catalog common and rare pieces of his musical diversity, along with interviews with artists who've played, worked or were inspired by Jimi's expertise styling of guitar playing.
