Re: I Can't Keep From Crying

It is not all TYA, got my money back.

Peace,
DLM

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"..

I didn't know you were at Woodstock! It would be so fun to hear any stories from being there
