Today in counterculture history (03/28) * 4

  • 1970:  Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young release the single for "Woodstock"




Quote:

Today in Oldies Music History: March 28

Releases


1970: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, "Woodstock"




"Woodstock" is a song about the Woodstock Music and Art Festival of 1969.

Joni Mitchell wrote the song from what she had heard from then-boyfriend, Graham Nash, about the festival. She had not been there herself, since she was told it would be more advantageous to appear on The Dick Cavett Show by a manager. She wrote this song in a hotel room in New York City, watching the reports of the festival on television. "The deprivation of not being able to go provided me with an intense angle on Woodstock," she told an interviewer shortly after the event.  It was later released on her third album, Ladies of the Canyon in 1970, on her Shadows and Light album, and again in 1996 on her Hits album.

Mitchell's original version featured a stark and haunting arrangement - solo vocal, multi-tracked backing vocals and tremoloed Wurlitzer electric piano all performed by Mitchell herself. All subsequent recordings featured a fuller backing band sound.

Prior to release on any album, Mitchell performed "Woodstock" at the 1969 Big Sur Folk Festival, one month after Woodstock. The solo performance can be seen in the festival concert film Celebration at Big Sur (released in 1971). The performance was an exception to Mitchell's mounting distaste for large festival gigs.

The song later went on to be hits for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and Matthews Southern Comfort, the latter reaching #1 on the UK singles chart for three weeks in October 1970, and the former reaching #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. David Crosby in an interview in the documentary Joni Mitchell: Woman of Heart and Mind said that Mitchell had captured the feeling and importance of the Woodstock festival better than anyone who had been there.

Led Zeppelin incorporated Woodstock's lyrics and structure into live renditions of their song "Dazed and Confused" between 1973 and 1975. It can be heard on the currently unreleased "Dazed and Confused" section of the video from one of the 1975 Earl's Court concerts.

A 40th anniversary version of "Woodstock" was released in 2009 by Nick Vernier Band featuring Iain Matthews (formerly of Matthews Southern Comfort).
In popular culture

A line from the chorus, "We are billion year old carbon," was used by Corey Mesler as the title of a novel about the 1960s.

The song was also used in an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 where the characters act out the story of a girl from the 1960s whose diary is found by Brenda.

The song was used in a Six Feet Under episode entitled "Back to the Garden" (named after a lyric in the song) in 2002, but the song isn't featured on the official soundtrack.

  • 1973:  Jerry Garcia is arrested for possession of marijuana, cocaine and other drugs




Quote:

Leader of Grateful Dead Arrested by State police

  MOUNT LAUREL UP) --Jerome "Jerry" Garcia, leader of the Grateful Dead rock group, has been arrested and charged with possession of dangerous drugs, state police say.
  Garcia was initially stopped Wednesday [March 28, 1973] for speeding oil Interstate 295, the spokesman said. But police said further investigation showed that Garcia had a suitcase full of a variety of drugs, including marijuana, a small quantity of cocaine and other drugs.
  Garcia was released on $2,000 bail after being jailed briefly, a state police spokes-man said.
  The group had completed a concert date in Philadelphia and was reportedly on its way to a Massachusetts concert.

Quote:

Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "tell me, where are you going?"
This he told me

Said, "I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land
And set my soul free"

We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
In somethin' turning

And maybe it's the time of year
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning

We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song
And a celebration

And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust, we are golden
We are caught in the devil's bargain
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
