Canned Heat - Rollin' and Tumblin' (1967)

Larry Taylor on bass... killing it

[@MR-in8bl]

Larry "The Mole" Taylor. So many musicians after him copied his style or "inspired" them, whichever way you look at it.

[@grahamsmith6210]

I just found out that he died 5 years ago, that made me sad. He was an excellent basis and very underappreciated

[@hamburgerdan101]

he’s probably the best musician besides Alan. listen to “time was”. very few bassist could hold it down like larry.

[@nitaipadadas6129]

He is in my top 3 favorite bass player with Jaco Pastorius and Donald "duck" Dunn

Sad, Blind Owl was one of the best blues guitarists I ever heard and he's almost unknown today

Blind Owl looks like a kid that used to let me copy off his homework when I was in 9th grade! That haircut and those glasses wouldn't let a person see his true persona as a FANTASTIC Blues Guitarsman. Kind of like "Clark Kent" of Superman fame. What a fantastic group of guys. Canned Heat was one of the truly great bands with NO glitz or glammer. They just went on stage and "Got It Done"!!

[@MR-in8bl]

Hes so young here. Eventually he'd ditch the glasses and play practically blind. It's crazy how much times have changed when it comes to glasses and style. My dad, who's born in '46 always said when u were a kid growing up in the 50s and 60s, if u wore glasses u really got made fun of and were a nerd. Nowadays ppl use glasses as a fashion piece let alone for seeing.

[@Mat_Gomez23]

Larry Taylor playing a Slab Body P Bass here! What a bassist!

[@Amhlair]

One of the great forgotten bands of the time! I saw them at the Texas International Pop Festival two weeks after they played at Woodstock - just great!

[@PsychedelicFerret]

That sounds incredible man!! As a 32 year old man, i cannot even begin to imagine how peoples mindset were back then. I bet it was beautiful :). Considering i'm from Norway, i doubt i would've got to see them anyway :). But, ahh...Dreams.

[@Amhlair]

Dreams are good! It was great back then, everyone seemed so, well, less pissed off and hostile than they seem today. At least the youth who showed up at these festivals and concerts. I got to see Jimi, the Doors, Stones, Led Zep several times, Steppenwolf, a bunch more.

[@green323turbo]

saw Canned Heat last year at ottawa blues fest.. different members, but they were great.

[@PsychedelicFerret]

That's so cool :). Steppenwolf was my fathers favorite band, he practically shoved the "For ladies only" and "7" records down my throat as a kid. Snowblind friend (a cover, i know) remains as my favorite song of all time. I would give my left arm to live your memories for a day :). I would like nothing more than to sit down with you, smoke a joint and listen to your stories of those days :).

[@Amhlair]

Glad to hear that, green. I have mixed feelings about these really old bands going back on tour. Not sure why exactly but good to hear that they were enjoyable.

the video quality for a hippie era concert is about as good as ive ever seen

[@dutchgoing]

***** What Pennebaker was talking about was that if you mix film stock, fast and slow speed stock as required then the look of the film is going to change from shot to shot. Seeing as you are going to have to shoot with fast stock at night under tungsten light, you might as well use fast stock for everything. It's got nothing to do with it being a hippie-era film as there were definite professionals involved in the making of it. People who think that you shot a documentary on location using video equipment in 1967 are just ignorant. Colour video equipment weighed an absolute ton, was very very expensive and you just would not use it outside of a studio.

I was in junior high school when Monterey Pop "happened". I only live about 40 miles away and even though I was too young to attend it was still a BIG DEAL for us in coastal Central California. A local TV station teamed up with a local FM station and did nightly showing so we could watch it on TV and sync up our stereos. Show was simulcast at midnight and between local TV and our local favorite Rock Station on Stereo it was frigging GREAT. Just us kids rocking out at midnight. It still feels like I was there!
