He's got the feeling in his toe-toe.
Speaker 2:He's got the feeling and it's out there growing. Hey everybody, this is Jim Boge and you're listening to Music In my Shoes. That was Vic Thrill kicking off episode 40. As always, I'm thrilled to be here with you. Let's learn something new new or remember something old. 1969 is a pivotal year in music history, us history and world history. Events that we still talk about today happened in August 1969. While just one month of the year, it was filled with many of these events. This episode is about 10 days in August 1969. August 8th 1969, on a Friday. The photograph for the front cover of the Beatles' Abbey Road was taken outside of the EMI Studios on Abbey Road. The picture of the band walking across the crosswalk is as iconic as any album cover Of course.
Speaker 2:People want to go, they want to walk it. People have shirts. I mean, you see people that you don't even think that they know who the Beatles are and they have the shirts on that. Have that. Paul McCartney put an album out, a live album, where he's walking, you know, I think he's actually holding his dog or something and his feet are off the ground. The police stopped the traffic so that the photographer could stand on a stepladder and take the picture, and they only had a limited amount of time that they could actually do it. If you remember, there's a Volkswagen Beetle on the left that's just as important as John, paul, george and Ringo, or as they were walking John, ringo, paul and George.
Speaker 2:In 1976, the name was changed from EMI Studios to Abbey Road Studios. Everybody thinks it's always been Abbey Road. It was originally EMI, oh, and it was that way for many years until they changed it. What's kind of cool is Paul's late wife, linda McCartney, took photos before the famous walk and while they were waiting in between the shots. And it's kind of cool because you see them pre-walk, you see them hanging out, you see them kind of talking. I like behind-the-scenes type stuff. So if you get a chance, look up Abbey Road Linda McCartney photos and you can see it in a whole different way than just that album cover.
Speaker 2:Also, on August 8th, after dinner with friends, sharon Tate, an actress and the wife of film director Roman Polanski, and her friends went back to her home on 10050 Cielo Drive in Los Angeles, california. Her friends were Jay Sebring. He was the hairstylist to the stars including Frank Sinatra, marlon Brando, warren Beatty, steve McQueen, bruce Lee, sammy Davis Jr. And he was the guy that came up with the famous Alexander the Great hairstyle that Jim Morrison was wearing in the early days of the Doors oh yeah, early days of the Doors. He also had the JC Bring international company that taught people how to do hair and he franchised them out and they were all over the place and so he really made a ton of money. So back in the day, when people were, you know, getting haircuts for a dollar, a couple of dollars, this guy was charging 50 bucks, 75 bucks for hair, just doing it totally different. And, like I said, he was there for the stars Abigail Folger, the heiress to the Folger's Coffee Company, the number one US coffee brand. Her boyfriend Wojciech Frykowski, an inspiring writer and a close friend of Roman Polanski's since their days in Poland.
Speaker 2:Shortly after midnight on Saturday, august 9th 1969, all four were murdered by the Manson family. Sharon was eight and a half months pregnant and her unborn baby was murdered as well. Stephen Parent, an 18-year-old, was visiting the caretaker in a cottage behind the house. As he was leaving he came across members of the Manson family who murdered him first. The murders were gruesome and I choose not to go into detail about them, but I will say the word pig was written on the front door in Sharon's blood. Pure evil was definitely present that night.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the next night, on Sunday, august 10th 1969, leno and his wife Rosemary LaBianca were murdered at their home by members of the Manson family. Again a gruesome scene, with rise and death to pigs written on the walls and hell to skelter on the refrigerator door with Rosemary's blood. Why did they go to these houses? Why did they do these horrific things? You know we don't know why they did the horrific things, what the true meaning was, but Terry Melcher, who was Doris Day's son, was introduced to Charles Manson by Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys in 1968. Manson and some of the Manson family were living at Dennis's house and basically he picked up some hitchhikers. They came and stayed with Dennis and they wouldn't leave and they brought more and more of the Manson family and, as a matter of fact, when Dennis Wilson's lease expired and he left, the landlord had to evict the rest of Manson's family that was living there. They just wouldn't go. Manson showed Dennis some of his words, his lyrics, some of his music, and the Beach Boys recorded a Manson song in late 68.
Speaker 1:That's crazy. It is, I mean. Obviously they liked it. They weren't just doing it to be nice to the hitchhiker.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, I think that one of the things is they got to know Manson. I believe that Dennis got a little scared of him. You know everything that I've seen, everything that I've read Never Learn Not to Love, which Manson had originally titled Cease to Exist. They changed the title, they changed the music and they changed some of the words, and that was actually an A-side single that came out in 1968. Wow.
Speaker 2:So Terry Melcher he was a producer who had produced bands such as the Birds and Paul Revere and the Raiders, and Melcher and Manson met together so Manson could audition but declined to sign him and they met at 10050 Cielo Drive and that's where Terry Melcher and his girlfriend Candice Bergen lived. Oh, they moved down in January 1969 because Melcher's mother, doris Day, feared for him, thought something was not right with Charles Manson, who kept kind of saying you said you were going to sign me. You know it got a little crazy and so he moved out in January 69. Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate moved in in February 1969. While supposedly Manson knew Melcher no longer lived there. He had the murders committed to send a message to Melcher and that was the evil. That was Charles Manson.
Speaker 1:That's pretty weird, though, Like why not find out where he lives now? And just he's the guy you're mad at, right he is, I mean.
Speaker 2:But that's the way Charles Manson thought.
Speaker 1:I don't think like a psycho killer is the problem.
Speaker 2:There you go. The LaBianca home was chosen because Charles Manson and some of the family members had been to a party next door to it in 1968. And he knew the address and had them go there Again. That's the evil. That's Charles Manson. On Wednesday, august 13, 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts who landed on the moon in July rode in a ticker tape parade in New York City and then another parade in their honor in Chicago. That night, neil Armstrong, buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were honored at a state dinner in Los Angeles hosted by President Richard Nixon. That's a lot for one day. No matter who you are, you start in New York City for a ticker tape parade, you go to Chicago and then you end the night at a state dinner in Los Angeles. I mean, that has got to be some of the most royal treatment anyone's ever received in the US.
Speaker 1:Right, it sounds exhausting too, though you know.
Speaker 2:Oh, I think so, without a doubt. I think one plane trip to New York or Chicago is exhausting, never mind going all the way out to Los Angeles. Right, you know? According to Rolling Stone magazine, the number 19 event of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock and roll is the Woodstock Music and Art Fair Three Days of Peace, of Music, or simply just known as Woodstock.
Speaker 2:After struggling to find a place to stage the music festival, max Yazger let it take place at his dairy farm in Bethel, new York. They told town officials no more than 50,000 people were expected, but behind the scenes they sold. More than 50,000 people were expected, but behind the scenes they sold more than 180,000 tickets beforehand and they were hoping for a crowd of about 200,000. So the festival organizers, michael Lang I think most people have heard of him or seen him, he was kind of like the face of the Woodstock Festival John P Roberts, artie Kornfeld and Joel Rosenman were far behind in getting the festival site ready due to having to change the venue once or twice, and so, a few days before the festivals, the stage isn't ready, the fences aren't ready, there's no ticket booths and they have to make a decision.
Speaker 2:What are we going to do and they said there's only one thing we can. We got to finish the stage, we got to have a place for people to perform, so they do that. And while they're finishing the stage, thousands of people just start showing up. No fences, no ticket booths, nothing.
Speaker 1:If they didn't have tickets.
Speaker 2:They just walked on in. So at one point it was estimated that between 400 and 500,000 people were on site at the Woodstock Festival. Festival was scheduled for August 15th through the 17th. Festival was scheduled for August 15th through the 17th, but due to the traffic on the New York State Thruway, rainstorms, it stretched into a four-day event. Supposed to end on Sunday night, it ended on Monday morning. 32 performers played over the four days. I'm not going to go through the list of performers and I can tell you I can see Jimmy's face. He's glad that I'm not going to go through the list of performers. And I can tell you I can see Jimmy's face. He's glad that I'm not going through every single.
Speaker 1:Well, he's 32.
Speaker 2:But I'm going to highlight some of them from each day. The first, on Friday, august 15th 1969, was Richie Havens. He comes on at 5.07. And the last song that he played was Freedom and it had some improvised lyrics and it is fantastic. It's really cool from the standpoint of knowing he was stalling. He was only supposed to play a few songs. He did a couple of enc encores. He didn't know a whole lot of songs at that point in time. And he does this song and he stretches it out and at one point in the song he sings over and over clap your hands. And if you ever seen the movie, just thousands and thousands of people just start standing and they're clapping their hands to the song and and it was this it was.
Speaker 1:He was making the whole song up on the spot yeah, it was just crazy song.
Speaker 2:It was just.
Speaker 1:If you listen to it you're like that's a great song right, I know he just started playing a chord and started singing freedom and then let it happen.
Speaker 2:I mean that's amazing and you know the chords that he plays in the beginning. He, you know, it's just, he just keeps playing and playing, and playing, and playing. I think one to stall, two to think of some words that he's going to say you know.
Speaker 2:So as he finishes the song, he walks towards the back of the stage. I believe, if I remember correctly, he's walking towards the back. He's still strumming his guitar and then he gets to the point of the back of the stage where he stops and he's done. He can't do any more but that song. If you get a chance, watch the video on YouTube from Woodstock. It's unbelievable, it's really, really cool. And that's how you know they kicked off Woodstock.
Speaker 2:Tim Harden, a folk singer, was the last performer on Friday. Now, I never heard of Tim Harden before until the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. I was actually driving up to New York and on Sirius XM they had a station that was playing all of the songs from Woodstock in order. That it happened and at some point I got to hear Tim Harden and you know he was a folky guy. He finished up about 9.35, and then Rain pushed back some of the performances. But it was kind of cool to hear somebody that I didn't know one thing about. I thought I knew a lot about. You know Woodstock, but that day, just hearing all of these different performers and hearing songs I had never heard, I just thought that was a really cool thing. And five years later, you know, I still listen to Tim Harden.
Speaker 1:Oh cool.
Speaker 2:You know, just a cool thing to do Midnight, Saturday, august 16th 1969. Ravi Shankar, an Indian satirist. You're familiar with Ravi Shankar, right? So he takes the stage and he just plays through the rain. He's just like I'm going to play, all right, now, I just said he took the stage at midnight. That's where this festival is headed, okay, he's followed by Melanie, arlo Guthrie and Joan Baez.
Speaker 2:She played from 3 o'clock in the morning till 4 o'clock in the morning, and then they're like okay, that's it, we've gone far enough. I mean, that's just what. You know. The times were so much different. You know, times were so much different. You know, things were very, very different back in 1969 as compared to the way that they work today.
Speaker 2:You go to a show today and you know it's ending by this certain time and you can kind of get the feel by the songs artists are playing. You know, later in the show, like, oh, the show is probably going to end because they got these hard. You know, know, stop times. So eight hours later, the music started again. At noon, santana takes the stage at 2 o'clock. Evil Ways and Soul Sacrifice are just classic versions of the songs. I can't remember the name of the drummer, but he is out of his mind playing on Soul Sacrifice. It is fantastic. Santana was supposed to start a little bit earlier, but supposedly, you know, carlos had indulged in some things and was not able to go on earlier and finally was able to hit the stage at 2 o'clock. It was Woodstock.
Speaker 1:I mean, give the guy a break.
Speaker 2:Yes, times are different. It's really good, you know. I will tell you that Santana's released his Woodstock performances. If you get a chance, listen to that. A lot of the bands and the groups, the artists, have released their own things, but you could find, I think Rhino puts out, you know, big packages where they have more and more of all the groups that played John Sebastian from the Love and Spoonful.
Speaker 1:Also from Welcome Back, Cotter.
Speaker 2:Yes, we've talked about that and I still can't say Welcome Back, cotter. Like I can't say so. It's a struggle for me. So, john Sebastian, he lives close by and he shows up at the festival because he just wants to watch it and he's asked to do a short set at 3.30 because so many of the performers still couldn't get there. As a matter of fact, a lot of them were getting pulled over by the New York State Police. You know long-haired hippie freaks you know they're getting pulled over.
Speaker 2:The weather caused plane delays at LaGuardia Airport. The thruway I'm not going to say it was shut down, but it was quite impassable. You know there was cars. They just left them anywhere that they possibly could. My aunt actually attempted to go to Woodstock. It was in one of those cars that you know. They only made it so far and that was it. You know you would have had to walk for miles and miles and miles and at that point she chose to abandon. You know the trek. Wow.
Speaker 2:So he plays one song, and again I heard this on the Sirius XM for the 50th anniversary Rainbows All Over your Blues. It's on one of his albums. I think it came out in maybe 1970. But this song that he played at Woodstock, it is fantastic. Guy's not planning to play, he borrows somebody's guitar and just goes up and plays this song. I've been listening to it for five years again Again, I love discovering new music and I love that moment as I'm driving and hearing it. So if you get a chance, john Sebastian, rainbows All Over your Blues Can Heat started at 7.30 and it included the song Going Up the Country. You know that's that song that starts with the flute and he sings in that super high-pitched voice, right. It's a feel-good song that I can't get enough of. I listen to that song quite a lot. Does he always sing that way? I don't know. I only listen to that song. I don't know the answer to that. Grateful Dead hits the stage. They played from 10.30 to 12.05 am and they end the night with a 36-minute version of Turn On your Love Light.
Speaker 2:Saturday, sunday, august 17th 1969, at 1230 am. Credence Clearwater Revival hits the stage, plays an 11-song set with what I think is the highlight for them, an amazing version of Keep on Chuglin' Again. I never heard the song before until that SiriusXM 50th anniversary special. Until that Sirius XM 50th anniversary special and Credence had recently released their Woodstock performance in 2019. So I downloaded that, I listened to it and listening to John Fogerty when he's on the harmonica and then the guitar. It is really, really good Long, but it's so cool. If you get a chance, try and listen to it.
Speaker 1:Keep On. Chugaling is one of those songs that, like I had all the Credence albums and I didn't get that song, though you know it's like okay, but it's really a live song. It's like made for him to jam on 100%.
Speaker 2:You're correct about that, because I've listened to it non-live and it doesn't have the same effect. No, janis Joplin and the Cosmic Blues Band went on and they played from 2 to 3 am To me not as good as the 1967 Big Brother and the holding company show at the monterey international pop festival. So she had changed the musicians, changed who she was with. I just don't think it had the same feel, the same groove at monterey. It was like she was hitting on all cylinders here in 69. You could see the effects of the alcohol and the drugs, kind of what it was doing to her.
Speaker 2:And on a side note, terry Melcher was one of the producers for the Monterey International Pop Festival. Oh, sly and the Family Stone. They hit the stage at 3.30 in the morning. Again, this would have been cool. Like there's no sleep. You're not sleeping because great band after great band just keeps coming on the who 5 am. Listen to the Kids Are Alright soundtrack and it had some of the songs from Tommy and I would listen to that because to me that was putting me in touch and closer to Woodstock and absolutely loved it because I thought it was just the coolest thing ever. Thought it was just the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 2:Jefferson Airplane takes the stage at eight o'clock in the morning and they play for an hour and 40 minutes. And again, I think they sound much better at the 67 Monterey Pop Festival. Now I know it's eight o'clock in the morning and Grace Slick has been up all night and I'm sure, I'm sure, indulging in a lot of stuff, but it just seems like that energy, that passion, that excitement, it's not there at all when you watch it, listen to it and go back to 67 and listen to the Monterey. Monterey Pop Festival is definitely one of my favorite pop festivals, music festivals. Out there, music starts up again with Joe Cocker at two o'clock. Thunderstorms hit the festival, create issues with mud, country Joe and the Fish.
Speaker 2:10 Years After. Follow After the Rain, the band who also lived nearby. They were actually one of the first bands that they wanted to bring. They wanted to get Bob Dylan and they wanted to get the band that was like the two big people that they wanted to have at the festival. Dylan turned them down because he was going to be doing the Isle of Wight Festival, which I think was about two weeks later or so, but the band played and then the band flew over to back up Dylan at the Isle of Wight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so Dylan could have done it if he wanted to.
Speaker 2:He could have. Yes, he chose not to. Monday, august 18th 1969, johnny Winter performs at midnight. Blood Sweat Tears is next on stage the day before. Their album of the same name is number one on the Billboard Top 200 albums for the seventh straight week. So that must have been really cool Seven straight weeks Blood Sweat and Tears. You know they're playing knowing that they've got the number one album in the country, and you know they're on at some god-awful time. It's insane. You know Crosby, stills, nash Young they play from 3 to 4 am. It's only their second live performance together. Wow, yes. And then Sha Na Na, 7.30 to 8 am.
Speaker 1:That's such a weird transition it is. It's such a weird transition, it is.
Speaker 2:It's an extremely weird transition. And then you know they were a 50s, 60s retro group. For those that you know don't know who they were, in the late 60s I would say probably 69, 50s music was kind of making a comeback and it was popular in the early 70s. I remember listening to it a lot, you know, growing up as a kid. They ended up having their own variety show I think it was just called Shauna and I it was yeah, Bowser.
Speaker 2:Bowser that's the first name that I can and the only name I can remember To close out the festival, jimi Hendrix.
Speaker 2:From 9 to 11 am on a Monday morning and at this point they say the majority of the crowd is gone because they had to go on to live their life and do what they're supposed to do In this he played his famous version of the Star Spangled Banner, which, again, most people should know that song because it's been played so many times for so many different things. Many performers declined to play at Woodstock because they thought it was going to be like every other festival In 1969, you had Atlanta, you had Seattle, you had Atlantic City, you had Woodstock, you had one in Texas, I believe it was in Dallas. You know. You had the Isle of Wight that came up at the end of August over in England and it just became one of those things People just didn't want to keep doing festivals, and more because it being in Bethel, it's really kind of like one way in and one way out. It is really in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 1:So, with all those other festivals in 1969, why is Woodstock the only one that anybody's ever heard of?
Speaker 2:That's a good question. The organizers were smart enough to envision having a movie made and all of the bands were filmed and they recorded everything. And because they did that, you know the film came out spring of 1970, I'm going to say and I want to say that you know they made like $50 million off of this movie. I mean, this was something that it won an Academy Award for something I don't remember for what. But because there's all that documentation, you can go look up everything that about Woodstock. I think there's only one song of the entire weekend that there's nothing recorded for that song, one song of the whole weekend. There's one other song that I think only half. They only have half of it, but other than that, everything's documented.
Speaker 2:And because people thought it was going to fail, the news crews were there and the news was able to document what was happening. And at first it wasn't good, it wasn't positive at all for Woodstock, because they knew they didn't have the gates, they knew that the stage wasn't built and that's the thing that the news would talk about. Stage wasn't built and that's the thing that the news would talk about. But what ended up happening with all the mud and the four to five hundred thousand people. You know they ended up. You know too many people, not enough food, not enough water, not enough medical supplies, lack of bathrooms and security was 12 policemen for four to 500,000 people? But the concert, you know, you know the concert goes. They come together, the town comes together, the town starts making sandwiches and any kind of food or whatever they can give, and they start taking it and bringing it to the concert goers and it becomes a feel-good story of a town that didn't want to have the festival in the first place. But now, when they see that the kids because all they are are young kids, they're teenagers, they're young adults, and that they need help because they don't have you know the necessary things that they should. Right, and the town comes through. And that, I think, is what makes Woodstock so much different than everything else. You can barely find pictures of most of these other festivals you can—there's not much video on them and, most of all, that human spirit coming to help each other out, that really is the heart of everything that happened there at Woodstock, in my opinion. There you go.
Speaker 2:So, jimmy, I mentioned I was driving up when it was the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. I actually went to the Woodstock site for the 50th anniversary because Ringo Starr and his all-star band were playing on site and they had Edgar Winter Band and Blood Sweat and Tears were opening up. Now in Ringo's band Greg Rowley was in Santana when Santana played at Woodstock and to have him sing what he sang when he was there and playing the keyboards, it was just really cool. It was awesome to be able to see that 50 years later. Now Blood Sweat, tears and I'm not making this up they've had close to 200 people in the band. That's how many people they have cycled through. So you know David Clayton Thomas wasn't in the band or you know they cycled through, but it was still cool to hear the music and songs that they were playing at Woodstock 50 years later.
Speaker 2:I mentioned Edgar Winter. He played with his brother, johnny, probably three or four songs. So for him it was kind of cool to be able to come back to a place that he had been part of 50 years earlier and we got our pictures. I went with my kids and my brother and we got our pictures taken. You know by where the stage was and you know the slope of the field going down and you know just all over the place. We got our pictures taken because to us it was really cool to be at a place that 50 years earlier made such an impact that in 2024, we're all still talking about that's awesome. August 20th 1969, a Wednesday, where the four Beatles John, paul, george and Ringo were in the EMI studios together, they finished up work on the song I Want you she's so Heavy last time that they were all together in the studios for a music-related function. During this, john Lennon made the decision to end the song at 7 minutes and 47 seconds. Now, are you familiar with the song?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it's like and then all of a sudden he told the guy cut and that's why the song just ends the way it does, because that's what John Lennon wanted and that was decided on August 20th 1969.
Speaker 1:Was there some significance to seven minutes 47 seconds?
Speaker 2:Nothing that I know of. I tried to research that to find out, but nothing at all. Nothing. No fade out, just an abrupt ending. Friday August 22nd 1969, and abrupt ending Friday August 22nd 1969, was the Beatles' final photo shoot, taking place at John and Yoko's house called Tittenhurst Park. The photos were used for the front and back covers of the hey Jude album, which is made up of assorted singles and B-sides. It came out in 1970. Do you remember that album?
Speaker 2:Vaguely, it went out of print pretty quickly and B-sides that came out in 1970. Do you remember that album Vaguely? It, you know, went out of print pretty quickly but the photo session again came from John and Yoko's home. On a side note, okay, john Lennon sold the house to Ringo Starr in 73. John had built a studio in there and some of the songs that made the Imagine album were recorded in that studio. Ringo buys the house in 73. He records there. This British band shows up to record there and then they go in the house and they say we don't want to record in the studio, we want to record in the house, we want to set everything up in the house. And they say we don't want to record in the studio, we want to record in the house, we want to set everything up in the house. And they set up in the house and they released an album in 1980. And that was Judas Priest.
Speaker 1:British Steel.
Speaker 2:I mean, is that crazy? I just find things like that just so crazy.
Speaker 1:Did you ever watch Heavy Metal? Parking Lot.
Speaker 2:No, you need to watch it. I will have to do that. But to me just crazy, crazy. In 1992, trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails moved into 10050 Cielo Drive, the same house that Sharon Tate and four others were murdered on August 9th 1969. He set up a recording studio and recorded the broken EP and the downward spiral there. When he moved out in December 1993, he took the front door with him and he used it at his new recording studio down in New Orleans in Louisiana. New recording studio down in New Orleans, in Louisiana. After he sold the studio, an artist picked up the door and then auctioned it off. The door sold for $127,000. This door that had been the door of the Tate home that's nuts, it is. Door of the Tate home, that's nuts it is. The house was demolished in 1994 by its owner and replaced with a brand new home. It didn't resemble the original Tate house in any way and the guy even had the number of the house changed to a different number.
Speaker 1:I would do the same.
Speaker 2:Yeah, beginnings, endings, the worst of humanity, the best of humanity all taking place during 10 days in August 1969. That's it for episode 40 of Music in my Shoes. I'd like to thank Jimmy Guthrie, show producer and owner of Arcade 160 Studios located here in Atlanta, georgia, and Vic Thrill for our podcast music. This is Jim Boge, and I hope you learned something new or remembered something old. We'll meet again on our next episode. Until then, live life and keep the music playing. I'll be your light.
