Canned Heat - On The Road Again
April 26th, 2010 | by admin |
Die komplette Beat Club-Folge mit diesem Auftritt jetzt im iTunes Store erhältlich! itunes.apple.com Der (Playback-) Auftritt von “On The Road Again” stammt aus dem Beat Club vom 14.09.1968. In 1965, the blues- and boogie-rock band Canned Heat was formed in Los Angeles by guitar and harmonica player Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson and lead singer Bob “The Bear” Hite. They took the name for the band from an old delta blues song called Canned Heat Blues written by Tommy Johnson in 1928. The worldwide hit On The Road Again is best known for Wilsons unique high-pitched vocals and famous for its harmonica solo. Beside playing at all major festivals of the 60s Woodstock, Monterey Pop, Isle of Wight the band also travelled to Europe for concerts and TV appearances, eg the German Beat Club, where they performed the song in a lip-synched version. Tragically, on September 3, 1970 Alan Wilson died of a barbiturate overdose which led to numerous line-up changes in the following years. But the band still plays on today in the fifth decade of their existence.

On th woodstock DVD, that fan jumps up on the stage during canned heats set, security doesn’t screw with him, band dosn’t get pissed. He reaches in the pocket of the brother playing the harp and grabs one of his cigarettes. The dude in the band pulls a lighter out and lights it for him, without missing a beat. Chill mother effer, simpler time man.

I forget who it was that said Canned Heat is as successful as a band can get, when the lead singer sounds like kermit the frog.
