Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

OMG. It's so short it's Cruel. But at least it exists.

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

I bought this for $150.00
It cannot be edited, copied, played on a computer, or put on youtube. It is only for home viewing.
and by the way this is

Peace,
DLM

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

Wow...never thought I would see that..it's short but it exists all right! Seeing is believing!

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

What a find! What an expensive and revealing find!

Do you realise that if 1 hour of footage suddenly surfaced, at the rate of $10.81 p/s, it would cost nearly 40 grand?

Thanks for sharing D!

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

Cool. Expensive but cool. I just don't know that it puts an end to the Woodstock question, though. Unless there is a heck of a lot more of this, we still are left with the film's producers telling us that the only song they filmed in entirety is Woodstock. Makes ya wonder, though.

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

40 grand is not expensive if that means you have the exclusive and only right to one hour historic footage of TYA at Woodstock ( one hour )!!!

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

the NBC guy called me, this is from a TV newscast.
It is not all TYA, got my money back.

Peace,
DLM

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

It would still be worth it! (wonder what Alvin thinks..?)

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

Meaning they have part's of other TYA songs at Woodstock ..maybe?

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

Well, they actually didn't even have "I'm going home". As I recall it, the drum tracks failed completely and was overdubbed aftwards by a studio drummer called Larry Bunker. Also, high humidity made the guitars go out of tune so quickly and badly, they had to stop in the middle of "Good morning little schoolgirl" to re-tune.

For collectors, anything of course is worth having, but for fans it may be not be what we want to hear.. and I guess Alvin doesn't want that either.

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

I think it was Corky Laing who overdubbed the drums, Borje - at least he's the one who usually gets credit.

As for them having to stop to re-tune - totally true. But what's funny is that Alvin says that no one he asks (including me - I was there) remembers it!

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

I was a little misleading there, Niall, sorry - I believe the Woodstock promoters when they say only one TYA song was filmed.

Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

Thank you, Toni - yes, when Ric wasn't available for it, Corky Laing sounds like a more sensible choice.

Haha yeah, like they say - "if you remember the 60's, you weren't there"..
