These guys deserve a well produced biopic

[@JaneDoe-ql7sc]

Love this interview! Sha na na was a true highlight of Woodstock, so unique, so lively & super nice sound!

[@stlrockn]

I am friends with Jimi's bass player Billy Cox. He did tell me once that they saw Sha Na Na at The Scene and that Jimi was standing on a table shouting how good they were.

[@jabbahursty]

it's only recently when i've started to appreciate how good a group sha na na was. better late than never, y'know?

[@seanclark2531]

I'm a life-long Hendrix fan and didn't know he recommended Sha-Na-Na until recently...I couldn't love Jimi more!

[@reinesjogren150]

He recomended among others Arthur Brown to be played by radio stations. Jimi was a good person !

[@nuwavedave]

JOCKO! Sha Na Na was the most-revolutionary band at Woodstock. Nothing else like 'em!

[@LisaKoffler]

You're right about that!

[@dashriproch]

"Tempos were a little too fast." Love ya Jocko!! Understatement of the century!!

[@stevendimmock4791]

Jocko, don't worry about if the crowd liked you at the time. I've been listening to the album since 1973 and still love sha na na's performance. The gods of music will never let us forget.

[@petegobeckli1386]

Sha Na Na at WOODSTOCK! pointed the way for 50's revival TV shows & movies like: GREASE! LORDS IF FLATBUSH & of course HAPPY DAYS. How'd yall miss that?

[@RastaSaiyaman]

People forget that Hendrix cut his teeth backing Doo-Wop bands and artists such as The Isley Brothers. Sha-na-na is a Doo-wop band but not a watered down Doo-wop band, they brought in the energy. Hendrix really was into that.

Also played with "The Famous Flames" James Brown's band! 😎 💯 😎

[@dagnabbit6187]

I agree with Jock . Zoned out hippies . They didn’t know what to think . Some weren’t having it . Some knew the material and started singing . Some were laughing as if they were on Candid Camera. ( the first “punked “ show ) but in the end most were won over as evident in their success through the 70s .

[@jay-boy7102]

Lyndsey Parker is a dope interviewer! she’s asking all the right questions!

[@derekllewellyn6663]

[@jessiejames7492]

Loved his moves when he was dancing and singing

[@LisaKoffler]

Me, too!

[@danicegewiss862]

I was soooo in love with this man.

[@michaeljordan6008]

Loved that band and their tv show. “Good night sweetheart, it’s time to go.”

[@_Peremalfait]

I credit Sha Na Na for reminding everyone what had been left behind in rock and roll, and perhaps playing a role in spurring the new wave/punk scene of the late seventies which, especially with the rockabilly revival, had looked to the roots of rock and roll for inspiration.

[@Pashasmom1]

I loved Sha Na Na. All very talented men. Jocko and Santini were my dream men.

[@colyhope6467]

I love the story he tells about the festival organizers asking Jim Hendrix to go on Sunday night to finish off the festival and he refused because it wouldn't be fair to the other bands who hadn't gone on yet.

[@samsmith4216]

Very good interview! Right on guy...and sober ! Lucky as well...right place right time!

[@OofusTwillip]

That fast tempo on "At the Hop" reminds me of some of the Ramones' stuff.

[@Owyourhurtingme]

Jimmy Hendrix was actually a teenager during the height of the 50’s music scene. Probably his nostalgia that made him fall for Sha na na.

[@jimwiater2867]

Hendrix played bass for James brown and for the starliters

[@Mark.G475]

A great band! Great music! Thanks from Milwaukee Wisconsin 🧀🍻

[@LisaKoffler]

Great interview, Jocko!

[@guyincogneto8979]

Abe Simpson must have got to Woodstock late! Yelling out, "Bring on Sha Na Na!" During Hendrixes performance.😂

[@donnapasquarello3058]

I loved him in the pilgrims.great music. .

[@Sally-lm1fd]

[@joseywales7930]

I'd like to be alone... ahahahahaha

[@cavewaller]

Always thought At the Hop was the best track on the album 👍

[@narta11]

Good interviewer

[@duckbrew]

Who would've imagined Jimi was in some weird way responsible for the 70's music revival!

[@user-ut7cm7gj1e]

At the hop! ウッドストックのパフォーマンスは面白かった。 大学生の集団だったらしいけど、いきなりオールディーズをノリノリでやりだして観客が面食らってるのが印象的だった

[@mvmv-pn8zt]

Shawna an inspired punk rock😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-cn8wo8go7x]

Jocko almost has the story right, but it is close to what happened. We owed a great debt to Jimi Hendrix.

[@surrealfarm]

I would love to hear your version of the event, since you were there, too.

[@ninjanana8730]

My maiden name is Marcellino....could we be related? Father Manuel Mother Phillamena from the east coast (New England area) Many on my mothers side still around.

[@edwardbliss8931]

I wonder if Sha Na Na ever got groupies. They weren't a novelty act, they were legitimate celebrities.

[@LisaKoffler]

Anything's possible. They were a cover band.

[@MetalWarrior-jb5cq]

Jocko looks like he stepped off the set of The Sopranos for the way he's dressed. Didn't Tony Soprano wear the shirt Jocko is wearing?

[@LisaKoffler]

Possibly. There is a comment on another video saying that when Jocko talked, he sounded like Tony Soprano, except he's from Massachusetts, just like Johnny Contardo.

[@clamshell6863]

Oh my God! Jocko lost so much weight. He looks kind of beat up here. I am glad he did, and hope all is well with him. He was always pudgy. This is the thinnest, I've ever seen him.

[@LisaKoffler]

Have you seen Donny York? After all these years, he's STILL skinny!

[@derekllewellyn6663]

[@madogblue]

Great story. Hiw can she speak with all that lip filler?

[@RICHBLACKCOCK]

Hopi INDIANS????

[@jamesgretsch4894]

No, I disagree with her, those hippies were bummed. They wanted the contemporary hippie folkie or psych music of the time, not an amazing flashback band like Sha.

[@chrisdaniel5004]

Enough with Woodstock. Sooo overrated!!! There were other festivals that were by far better.

[@fuzzybutkus3951]

Ok brainiac. I’m guessing you were made there. What world changing thing did you do??

[@jefflapointe5251]

No Woodstock is the greatest festival that ever happen nothing Else like this Will happen again sadly

[@dagnabbit6187]

@@jefflapointe5251 The 94 one was a good one too. Not the groundbreaking one of 69 but it was good . This time they knew what to do and the stage was better . Woodstock 69 was not overrated . The 3rd one ? . Unfortunately wasn’t the charm and showed where society was heading . You are right in your assessment .

[@jamespfitz]

Woodstock wasn't a concert, it was a unique cultural happening. There is no comparison.
