In August 1970, 600,000 fans flocked to the Isle of Wight to witness the third and final festival to be held on the island. Besides the music, they also got a look at the greed, cynicism and corruption that would plague the music industry for years to come. They also witnessed the final, drugged out performance of Jimi Hendrix in England just two weeks before he would meet a tragic death. When it all was over, the fans view of rock and roll was never the same.

After Alvin Lee’s death in March of 2013, Rainman Records released The Last Show, a fine recording of Lee’s final on stage performance in May of 2012. Due to the excellence of that recording, I looked forward to hearing the recent Rainman release, British Live Performance Series. It captures Ten Years After (TYA) recorded live in 1990 at “Studio 8” television in Nottingham, England. 1 Let’s Shake It Up 2 Good Morning Little Schoolgirl 3 Slow Blues in C 4 Hobbit 5 Love Like A Man 6 Johnny B.

人類が初めて月を歩いた。ニューヨーク・メッツがワールドシリーズで奇跡の優勝を果たした。そしてニューヨーク郊外のベセルでは、3日間にわたり50万人もの若者が、彼らの世代を何よりも象徴するイベントに参加した――それは規模においても影響力においても前代未聞のコンサート、平和と音楽という旗印の下にあらゆる階層の人々が集い、一つとなった瞬間だった。彼らはそれをウッドストックと呼んだ。それから1年後、その音楽のエッセンスやしびれるようなパフォーマンス、それらを生で味わった人々の感動が、オスカーを獲得した記念碑的ドキュメンタリーの中で甦る。
