RICHIE HAVENS Tupelo Honey_Just Like A Woman

[@keithstevens7317]

First act at Woodstock I was right in front of stage to see him

[@susannec659]

Whenever I'm down or upset, I listen to Richie, and he soothes my soul. Restores my faith.

[@John-zl1dd]

Amen

[@SorenRingholm]

Stumbled upon this.. and boy am I glad I did. Wow!

[@lungstib]

Had the privilege to see Richie live on stage in North London. The crowd called for an encore, the band had unplugged and left, the mic was off. He sang solo, unaccompanied just to show what a master he was.

[@luv4allmusik]

Richie's ashes were dropped by airplane over Woodstock. All that amazing soul is home now.

[@RetreatfarmFarmvilleVirginia]

Well he said it best...His career was struggling at the time but to open the show at Woodstock and making a grand entrance by helicopter in style proved he had finally "Made it". I'm glad i was there less than 40 feet from him. He played long and hard and even left the stage playing right down to the elevated walkway from the back of the stage. When he had stopped playing mid way down the ramp and my cousin and myself ran around there to reach thru and shake his sweaty hand. It was wonderful. The day that he passed away i woke up sweating from a dream...he was in the dream smiling....then he was gone and i woke up. Later towards lunch i heard on the radio that he had passed away and i spent the rest of the day crying and listening to youtube videos of him. I Was only ten at Woodstock but by the time it was over...i was 30 in what i learned there.

It really doesn't get much better than Richie Havens. I've probably seen almost 1000 concerts. Dozens and dozens of different incredible artists. Rock and jazz greats. I'd would have to put Richie in the top 3 people I've ever seen. Not to mention he is one of the best human beings I've ever met. A truly great performer with an even greater soul - Peace and Love just flowed from this man.......RIP Richie, you greatly missed.

The authentic spirit of the 1960's, thanks for being yourself Richie, we need you more now than ever! RIP

[@SandySandifer]

I saw Richie Havens live while a soldier in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany in 1971. After the concert and the encores...a few dozen of us G.I.s stay on and begged for an encore and Richie Havens came back out and played a few tunes just for us. Unforgetable.

[@peterf.updike352]

I was blessed to see Richie at the Earlville Opera House. There might have 20 people there. He was late driving up from the city and was so incredibly apologetic. He did nothing but requests for us and his lateness. It was like, having him play In your living room. May God Bless You Richie. R.I.P.

[@maralynfarber2068]

This gives me chills. Richie sings with such feeling.

One of the most passionate performers we will ever hear.

[@okgdngirl5110]

I was fortunate to see Richie Havens in concert at a small venue called The Prairie Lady in Oklahoma City sometime in the 1970’s. It was so special to see him in such an intimate setting.

[@voicegirl555]

Happy Happy 80th Birthday Richie Havens! You were a terrific talent! One of the best of the folk singers. You are so very very missed!!!!

[@HeatherFaraMS]

My grandmother had a stroke this week and is not likely to make it through and Richie havens came to mind. We went to see him play the tiniest of shows in a store many years ago....I was young and over come by his voice. It carries so much depth and love all at once.

[@elident7828]

What a beautiful , emotional performance… this song is sad and heartbreaking but also beautiful all at one.

[@ligialewis2182]

I've always loved Richie , dating way back to the 60's . I'm really proud that I had the opportunity to take my young son , some time in the 90's to see Richie in concert in Sarasota, FL . My son is a musician , guitarist/singer/songwriter/arranger/composer/poet now . Somehow I know that that concert played some part in inspiring him . Power to George Lewis, Jr. . . . from George Lewis, SR.

I hope God gives you the Highest Angel Love award❤

I just appreciate his deep authentic artistry. I’ve had Sandy on repeat more than I care to admit.

[@genej8828]

His voice gives me the goosebumps!

[@gonzoexpress9885]

Deeply affecting. This beautiful segue of tunes with Richie's unique take on them, brought me to tears. Richie was an incredible musician and interpreter, may his legend live on so that others may celebrate and learn.

[@indigogal2010]

Two of my favorite songs in one. One of the first acts at Woodstock. I will never forget that summer, or Richie. RIP they don't make em like him anymore.

[@zenovice8240]

CORRECTION: Richie was the VERY FIRST ACT to perform at Woodstock. (I know, I was there!) He was not scheduled to perform first, but was requested to do so since - due to the traffic/confusion - the other acts that were scheduled to perform had not been able to get there in time to do so. As a result, Richie played - and vastly entertained the crowd - for THREE HOURS! A truly great and amazing man, as well as poet/lyricist, musician and singer. There will never be anyone else quite like Richie. They broke the mold after Richie was cast. He was a certified, real, true "original."

[@kiwimale1]

The night sky has an infinite number of lights ...... some shine brighter than others ....Richie Havens is a night light you see...it shines brighter than ...many many others .... !!!

Richie Havens is unique believe me the best interpreter of songs. Listen to his interpretation of Bob Dylan songs and his unique and exquisite guitar playing is without parallel. Watching this video brings back my university days and the great age that was the 70s with all its great music. I'm so sorry I never got a chance to see him live but have enjoyed and still enjoy his music-Rest in Peace Richie you've bought so much joy and love to so many people!

[@Insolation1]

You do know he actually wasn't a guitar player as he never attempted to learn the guitar; everything was tuned to open D where you can almost strum anything, it's almost like drumming the guitar rather than playing it

[@bassplayer8815]

@@Insolation1 did he play a guitar? Then he's a guitar player and a good one at that

[@Ravfunnye]

One of the most prolific performer's I have seen! such a spirited voice with command and commitment. I saw him at the Ivanhoe theater in Chicago in the 70's. and Indiana University each time he had a great band!

[@bocouch9420]

One of the richest, greatest and emotive voices of all time, really underrated and overlooked, not fair. Many great singers and players didn't write their own songs or were not great songwriters, Ella, Billy, Frank, Ben, Sonny, Roger etc.

[@alaneisenberg1438]

A spell binding performance from a true musical legend ... so sad he has gone

[@DrRodZen]

Awesome, sincere & honest performance. Kinda like hanging out in the living room with friends & family singing and playing acoustic instruments off the cuff. That's the "unplugged," organic element of artists from that era - they made you feel like an integral part of the music, even if you're just listening...

[@elident7828]

Beautifully said !

[@RADThird1]

I had the pleasure to see Richie in the early '70's at a college concert. Just an amazing talent...singing and playing. The world won't see his like again.

[@fdmg]

what a beautiful generation of artists..

[@santanaincubus]

So Underrated, this man should be up there with the ranks of Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Nick Drake etc. Those great folk musicians. Notice how he plays guitar with the use of his thumb, on the fretboard. That voice is masculinely powerful.

Richie Havens to me epitomized the most sincere musician of the era.

[@john9944]

I have a good friend who has been playing in bands since the mid 60s. He has played with Hendrix, Dave Mason, Taj Mahal, Dr. John, Crosby-Stills and Nash, Joe Cocker, Maria Muldar, Joe Cocker, Bonnie Raitt and Etta James. (If you are interested and research it this will tell you who he is. But, I hesitste to post his name on a public site) He loved this guy. I am not certain he ever played with him to any extent. But, he said that this guy had the sweetest spirit. Since my friend has a sweet spirit Richie must have been very special.

Richie is a major inspiration to me with his open tuning rendition of songs and his voice. I've been swtitching from electric to accoustic guitar due to him.

[@bobsteinzig]

my guess is Mike Finnigan

[@susannec659]

john9944 Richie was one of a kind. He had a unique way of playing the guitar. I heard him tell the story of how he went on first at Woodstock and how nervous he was. Started with here comes the sun I believe or could have been freedom. If you listen to the Woodstock album he says something about breakfast in bed for 500,000 or something.
