The Woodstock movie has been on VH1 Classic all weekend. There re-running it all night tonight too. Any one watch it? I never saw the whole thing straight through so I'm going to.

I'd like to watch it but I don't have VH1 Classic, but I have seen the Woodstock movie before.

Everytime I see it I smoke so much weed I forget what the plot was.  |

I've seen it a few times over the years. My favorite performance is by Santana.

I hadn’t seen the Woodstock movie in AGES. I had VH-1 Classic on most of the time all weekend! I guess it’s been so long that a lot of performances that escaped my notice the last time around really got my attention this time plus being a little better versed on and more appreciative of the performers.
Of course I liked The Who since that’s classic rock which is so dear to my heart.
I thought Alvin Lee was smoking! (And I don’t mean the m.j. which was probably the order of the day.) I was like, who is this guy, and then when they said Ten Years After I looked them up. Really need to look into that band some more now.
Then Michael Shrieve playing drums for Santana. I’ve heard he was the youngest performer at Woodstock at 20. He looks about 15 but he sure doesn’t play drums like a 15 year old! I’m not the biggest drum person but that performance really got my attention and blew me away.
Later I saw a comment on IMDB about how through “skillful film editing” Michael Shrieve comes off looking like the musical genius behind Santana on the basis of his drum solo LOL. Still, I think that was quite a performance.
I kind of wondered what happened to the guy since I’d never really heard of him until recently. Which I did find out a few things including something in my record collection but I have to save that for later ...

Which I did find out a few things including something in my record collection but I have to save that for later ... I really liked Ten Years After too they rocked! I thought Joan Biaz and Sha Na Na didn't quite fit. Here's some info on Michael Schrieve: Shrieve has had a long and interesting career as a rock drummer, percussionist, and progressive electronic composer. Gaining early recognition as the powerhouse drummer for Santana, the teenage Shrieve was launched into the popular culture maelstrom when he performed an extended drum solo during Santana's appearance at the legendary Woodstock festival. Over the years, Shrieve has continued to strive for innovative approaches to percussion-based music. His numerous collaborations include work with Stomu Yamash'ta, Klaus Schulze, Steve Roach, David Beal, David Torn, and Andy Summers, to name a few.

Ok, I'm back ... When I was reading up on Michael Shrieve I found he'd been involved with HSAS (Sammy Hagar, Neil Schon, Kenny Aaronson, Michael Shrieve). A couple years ago I found this album at a thrift shop:  I bought it because I knew Hagar and Schon but had no idea who the heck the other two guys were. I was told it was a good album but never got around to listening to it until Sunday. Only played it once so far. I've never been one to give a definitive opinion after one listen but it sounded all right. It was interesting to find out what Michael Shrieve went on to do and happen to find it in my record collection! |

Mike Shrieve also played in a band called "Automatic Man" which was a kind of jazz/fusion/progressive thing. I think I might've heard that album about 25 years ago. Haven't got a clue what it sounded like, but I haven't read too many positive reports about it.

It is interesting to note that the album was recorded at various concerts throughout the US & then for most of the songs the crowd was removed. If you can find it, there is an amazing bootleg concert recorded by Westwood One featuring at least a dozen songs which never made the album. Also did anyone ever catch the MTV concert (when it was still a music station) by HSAS? Incredible. |
