I don't see how these bands can use the original band name when there are no original members. Both Starship and Quicksilver had the same band members!. country Joe should have hung up his guitar after Woodstock. Not at all what I expected for the ticket price.
It was really great to see the "old" rockers on stage. And some of the fill-ins, like Kathy Richardson, were really terrific. The music was rockin' - but the overall feel of the program was "yeah, we're disorganized, but who cares." Really sad. The idea to project footage from Woodstock on the back wall was brilliant...but it wasn't lined up correctly. The picture was at the bottom of the back wall and covered by drum sets and amps. We could hardly see anything. It was like that all night - no one seemed to want to fix it. Then what was projected seemed to be just a trailer of some sort, so the same footage kept repeating. Not cool. There was so much that could have been done with that - like having footage of Canned Heat projected while the current band was on stage, etc. Having Country Joe out front while band set-ups changed was a good idea, but again, the disorganization of that was distracting. Then the set itself had no thought put into it. Music stands were set around in front of keyboards so while Tom Constanten was playing, we couldn't see him. Overall feel - good sound but visually disappointing.
Loved the concert. I loved that it was informal and went on for hours. Well worth the money. Canned heat rocked, big brrother and the holding co were great. Their Janis replacement was unbelievable. I was a little dissapointed with jefferson starship because there so many good songs they could have played but didn't. Overrall I loved it . would do again in a heartbeat.
Can you imagin seeing the same bands that made history at Woodstock in 69 playing in 2009! Canned Heat was great, the first band I've ever seen with 2 drum sets playing at the same time, the sound was great! BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING COMPANY ROCKED!! Their singer( Sonya I believe) sounds almost just like Janis Joplin, she brought CHILL bumps to my skin and tears to my eyes , with her voice. Janis was with us in spirt last night. Quicksilver had alittle sound issues, but I can finially put a face to their songs over the years. Jefferson Starship also had a young lady singer who did them proud AND CAN ROCK!! She was incredible. COUNTRY JOE I still remembered the words to your " F- - k" song.You still sound good man. What memories and good times we had back then. Peace, Barbara
concert was excellent all the bands were great. the female singers were outstanding really great voices they had. Would recomend to any one who really likes that time of music to go and see.
