Woodstock 1969 Canned Heat Woodstock Boogie Full Video in HD!

[@joustwave6541]

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.

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.

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've seen lots of Woodstock performances before but not this one. Great work!

[@BeNards33]

iirc the band’s management had a beef with the director or producer of the film, thus leaving their performance out of theaters. this is likely from the Director’s Cut, as is their performance of “A Change Is Gonna Come”

My father was at Woodstock and he had Woodstock recorded and always would watch him sliding down the hill on Rain mudslide 😉✌🏻RIP PEACE POP I Always have you and Joey close to my heart ❤💙💯❤💯❤👍✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@pieterstaelens4138]

He is playing "Guitar Blues" from Sylvester Weaver, arguably one of the first recorded blues songs, from 1923

[@parsareshite1]

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.

[@billwinship3734]

Which ballroom was it William?

[@parsareshite1]

@@billwinship3734 It was the Raith Ballroom in Kirkcaldy. Which is no longer there.

[@billwinship3734]

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.

[@hamesmck5061]

@@parsareshite1 Canned Heat in Kirkaldy? That's brilliant. I wonder if Hite got Chips n Cheese after the gig.

[@parsareshite1]

@@hamesmck5061 I don't think chips and cheese were around in 1971 maybe got a Lorne sausage roll on butter or three.

R.I.P. The Bear and The Owl. You guys were just too good.
