Music In My Shoes
E93 Isle of Wight 1970, HORDE Festival 1995, Blotto, and This Beat Goes On
Journey back to the summer of 1970 as we explore the legendary Isle of Wight Festival, where music lovers converged on a small island off England's southern coast for five days of extraordinary performances. What makes this festival particularly special is how well it was documented – allowing us to experience these historic performances through recordings and film footage decades later.
From Chicago's early hits to The Who's powerful performance of "Tommy," the festival showcased artists at pivotal moments in their careers. Jim Morrison's haunting performance with The Doors stands as one of his final shows. Meanwhile, Miles Davis demonstrated how jazz could captivate rock audiences, and Jimi Hendrix delivered unforgettable performances just weeks before his death.
We'll also transport you to the 1995 HORDE Festival in Atlanta, a touring concert series that helped bands like The Black Crowes and Blues Traveler reach larger audiences by combining their fan bases.
Along the way, we explore summer hits that defined their eras – from KC and the Sunshine Band's disco anthem "Get Down Tonight" to The Kings' double-hit "This Beat Goes On/Switching to Glide." We'll also examine how The Cure's 1985 album "Head on the Door" marked their transition to mainstream success with its distinctive sound.
These weren't just concerts – they were cultural touchstones that helped define musical movements and create the shared experiences that bind music fans together. Join us as we celebrate the festivals, songs, and albums that shaped rock history and continue to influence how we experience music today.

He's got the feeling in his toe-toe.
Speaker 1: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 93. As always, I'm thrilled to be here with you. Let's learn something new or remember something old. On episode 40, 10 days in August 69, I spoke about Woodstock. Well, here we are a year later with the Isle of Wight Festival that took place August 26th to the 30th, 1970.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, isle of Wight is an island located just a few miles off the coast of mainland England. It's south of England, for those of you who don't know where it is. And I got to be honest, I had no idea until I looked it up. I didn't know where it was.
Speaker 2:I didn't know either.
Speaker 1:But I wanted to kind of get a geographical location so that I could, in my mind, picture where all these fine artists were going to be playing. Some say as many as 600,000 to 700,000 people were there, wow. Some say it was less than that. And it's kind of funny that you can never tell how many people are really at a show. Like, what do they do? Do they look at pictures? And they're like, oh, let me count.
Speaker 2:I mean, did they take attendance, did they have tickets?
Speaker 1:They had tickets. But it's just kind of like, you know, all of a sudden people just start showing up and it's just kind of bizarre that they just don't know how many. Right, it's true, you know, it's very, very strange. It's an island, so you had to get on a ferry to go across the water.
Speaker 2:Well, they could probably tell from the ferry logs then.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but for some reason there's no like official. This is what it was.
Speaker 2:How far off are the numbers?
Speaker 1:Some say six to 700,000. The promoters say only half of that.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a big difference.
Speaker 1:But it's actually in the Guinness Book of Records, so it's kind of bizarre when you look at it that way. So day one, august 26th. So even before I get into that, let me just say there are some festivals, music things that to me are just super cool things. We've talked about Woodstock. We've talked about Live Aid. There is the Us Festival at some point we'll talk about.
Speaker 1:There is the concert for Bangladesh that we'll talk about, you know, in the near future and that was put on by George Harrison with his friends and that was probably the first big you know festival where they were trying to do something for charity. I think the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 is amazing A lot of fantastic artists, but you can also watch and listen to it, so it's something that is easily accessible to people to be able to see what it was all about, and that's what I think is super cool. There's a lot of other great festivals that have happened, but there's barely any pictures, there's barely any recordings, and it's tough to tell about those. So I get excited when you have something that you can listen to or see and get a feel for what it was like that August 1970. All right, On the Isle of Wight.
Speaker 1:So day one, August 26, included a set by Chris Christopherson. It didn't go well. He got booed off the stage. Oh wow, that's horrible. The sound wasn't working. They did have some sound issues. Sound wasn't working well. And then he had a song Blame it on the Stones, and the crowd thought he was talking about the Rolling Stones. And he wasn't and it was was just it got out of control and anyway he gets booed off the stage. Day two, August 27th, had Supertramp touring for their debut album and Terry Reed was among the performers. Terry Reed just died recently, on August 4th 2025. And Jimmy Page actually wanted him to be the lead singer of Led Zeppelin. They didn't have a name yet, but they were coming together with this band and that was his first choice to be in the band.
Speaker 2:I wonder, how that would have been.
Speaker 1:Very different, I think.
Speaker 2:Very different.
Speaker 1:He turned it down. And then Richie Blackmore wanted him to front Deep Purple oh, and he turned that down also. I mean, those are some pretty good bands there that people want you to come be part of.
Speaker 2:But they probably were just starting at the time right know about Deep Purple.
Speaker 1:I know that you know. For Led Zeppelin it was before they had a name. It was when Jimmy Page was just starting to put together a band that would become Led Zeppelin. So yeah, it's kind of crazy. Day three August 28th found bands such as Procol, Harum and Chicago playing and Chicago did Beginnings. Does Anybody Really Know what Time it Is? Make Me Smile, color my World 25 or 624. I mean those are some really really good songs. I mean I love that early Chicago sound that they had. Man, they were some really good songs.
Speaker 2:I didn't realize they were that old either 1970, they already had those songs out, huh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it? It's really crazy when you think about it. Day four, August 29th 1970, opened up with John Sebastian, formerly of the Love and Spoonful, and he did some songs like Do you Believe in Magic, which was the big Love and Spoonful song. His guitarist from the Love and Spoonful just shows up and sends a note to the stage. It's like, hey, I want to come up and play. And he played a few songs with John Sebastian. It was kind of crazy, Like how do you just end up at the Isle of Wight? I'm like, yeah, I got my guitar with me.
Speaker 2:I'm ready to play. I guess he figured John would be amenable to it, huh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he was. He also did Daydream Rainbows All Over you Blues. I love that song. I talked about it when we talked about Woodstock. It's a song I had never heard of until I heard the recordings of Woodstock. Just a fantastic song. I really like it. It there was Joni Mitchell and Tiny Tim. Do you remember Tiny Tim? Yeah the guy with I don't know what kind of voice you would call it, you know it was very affected, right yeah?
Speaker 1:I mean, it wasn't like it was a good voice. It's not like I don't want to say he was singing falsetto when it was, it was kind of was, though, right.
Speaker 2:It was kind of, but it's like a novelty act.
Speaker 1:Yes, a novelty act. That would be a great way to put it. The jazz trumpeter, or is it trumpeteer, Jimmy? I?
Speaker 2:say trumpeter.
Speaker 1:All right. So you know what we're going to stay with. The jazz trumpeter. I kind of like that. I think I want to write a movie now. Jazz trumpeter, I like it. So the jazz trumpeter, miles Davis, surprised people by playing the festival. Oh cool. Earlier in the year he was actually on some bills, did some shows with Neil Young, steve Miller, the Grateful Dead and the audiences.
Speaker 2:You know they kind of dug it.
Speaker 1:It was something that was different. Different and here he was at the Isle of Wight and kind of what his thought process was is to take the audience far but to know when, to not go too far, where they were going to lose their interest, okay, and then bring it back, and so the audience loved it. It was great. If you get a chance, check it out, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I want to.
Speaker 1:Back to the other bands. 10 years after Emerson Lake and Palmer played their second show ever at the Isle of Wight, kind of like Crosby, stills, nash and Young played their second show ever at Woodstock.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Festival was being filmed for a movie. So by this time they're like, hey, we got to have, you know, filming. You know we're going to make documentaries, we're going to make films. You know Woodstock they released a triple album. They released the Woodstock movie, you know. They came out in 1970. So everyone was prepared. This is how you make money forever, because as long as people buy, the money comes in. So they had spotlights that were on the bands so that when they were filming you could see more clearly than being in the dark. That was until the Doors took the stage around 2 am. Jim Morrison refused to have the spotlights on and wouldn't play if the spotlights were going to be on. They compromised by having one red spotlight.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1:Which, if you watch it, comes out more orangey. It's like a reddish-orange, I guess, kind of like the sun. Maybe that would be a good explanation of it.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And it's really cool if you watch some of the other acts and then you watch the doors. At times you're listening to Jim R, the stage is dark, there's some flash photography going off and and you'll see, like these, you know, oh, like strobes.
Speaker 1:Yes, and it's really cool, jim Morrison. He basically kept his eyes closed and sang, but he didn't move that much. It wasn't like the old Jim Arson that was prancing around the stage and antics of all kinds. He sounded really good. It was a very, very different type of show for the band and they acknowledged it after the show that even they were kind of surprised by the way it went, but ultimately he sounded really good. It after the show that even they were kind of surprised by the the way it went, but ultimately he sounded really good.
Speaker 1:If you listen to, um, the recordings, they probably released them about seven years ago. It's short but it's good. And they put, you know, some classic songs backdoor man break on through when the music's over ship of fools Fools, roadhouse Blues, light my Fire and the End. That's a pretty good show there. That's a good set, you know. So, speaking of the End, the Doors only played three more shows with Jim Morrison on vocals and the last one was December 12, 1970 in New Orleans. Jim Morrison died seven months later in Paris, france. So a great show. I know the New Orleans show was not a good show. Oh, so it was the last good show.
Speaker 1:Yes, I don't know. I think he played a night in Dallas. I think he did an early show and a late show. I'm not really sure how those went, but I know the last show didn't go well. So, you know, the fact that they filmed this and they got the sound makes it kind of special. So the who performed the album Tommy and a bunch of other songs. So the who by this time had been playing, you know, the rock opera Tommy. You know, for close to two years they had been touring nonstop with it and they really were doing a fantastic job with it.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:This is one of the most listened to CD I say CD most streamed albums on my phone that I have. I listen to the who at the Isle of Wight all the time. It's just fantastic, great sound. You know just they came a long way from Woodstock and I love Woodstock. I talked about the who at Woodstock how you know impressionable it was on me, but by playing it nonstop at the Isle of Wight it's really cool to listen to. It really really is good. Day four ended with Sly and the Family Stone and then day five starts up, august 30th 1970. This is the final day. Chris Christopherson tried it again and this time it went well, without sound issues. The crowd clapped and they enjoyed it well, without sound issues. The crowd clapped and you know they enjoyed it did he play that uh stone song?
Speaker 1:I don't think he did. Uh, I'm not sure, but I don't think he did. So free did their classic song all right now with paul rogers on vocal. So talking about a band that you didn't realize was that old, I didn't realize you know like, it just didn't ring in my head that 1970,. You know they had a classic song, all right now?
Speaker 2:Yeah, because that song you were still hearing that song in the mid to late 70s. Yeah, it was, you know, all over. You know people would be playing it on the radio and on their boom boxes and stuff. It was very much a 70s song. You don't think of it as a 1970s song.
Speaker 1:I actually thought it was Bad Company for a long time when I was a kid, to be honest.
Speaker 1:Because it's got the same kind of sound you know. Yeah. So Donovan, the Moody Blues, jethro Tull, jimi Hendrix, joan Baez and Leonard Cohen followed. Leonard Cohen was someone that was not of the norm, that played a bunch of rock festivals or rock shows that again kind of like Miles Davis. He did things differently but audiences liked it. You know they didn't want too much of it, but it was just very interesting the whole Leonard Cohen thing. He actually hooked up with Janis Joplin at the Chelsea Hotel at one time. They were both staying there and it's kind of cool because you can actually read his interpretation of you know how the day and night went, you can read hers and it's funny putting them both together and you know that's the way it was.
Speaker 1:So Richie Havens, who opened up Woodstock, was the final performer at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. How cool is that Played a bunch of the same songs that he had played at Woodstock. So again, you can get this, you can stream it, you can buy the album, cds, whatever it is of most of this show Ritchie Havens. I don't think you can. I think you can find it on the Internet from an audience member that recorded it. But it's really cool to go back and listen to all the different things. The Moody Blues I listened to the Moody Blues, a bunch from Isle of Wight. I listened to the who that I mentioned. I have Jimi Hendrix, you know a bunch of them. And then there's also an album, message to Love.
Speaker 1:The Isle of Wight Festival.
Speaker 1:That's kind of got a bunch of the different bands that played and maybe one or two songs and you know you kind of get that feel for what was happening back then. One of those shows, the bands you know they were supposed to play that day and the bands played until they were done, which meant the last bands like Sly and the Family Stone, and you know other bands were playing as the sun was getting ready to come up or sometimes already up, and you don't find things like that today. It's a whole different. You know ball game as far as where concerts and festivals go, that must have been a cool time. So, jimmy, this past weekend I flew up to New York and at the Atlanta airport, for the first time ever, my flight was canceled. It was the last flight of the night. They rebooked me for the morning and when you get rebooked they're saying, hey, you can get a hotel voucher, or if you want a refund but you can't do it at the counter, you've got to go back to the front of the airport.
Speaker 2:And the trains don't run when it's that late, right.
Speaker 1:It's late, the trains don't run, they stop. It's far to walk. So we thought we were going to be boarding and they actually had the people that went in the wheelchairs that needed some extra assistance already lined up and ready to go. And when they made this announcement and said that if you want a refund or a hotel voucher, you've got to go to the front of the airport. We're at Terminal E. The airport, we're at Terminal E. We're really far away. Again, the trains don't run all the time. I could not believe it, but about six of the 12 people that were in the wheelchair things get up and start to run so that they can go get their voucher, their refund, whatever it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not joking. Seriously, some people did that. I actually saw one of them the next day walking around no assistance whatsoever. He sat two rows in front of me. Just, it was unbelievable. There are people that need the assistance and that's what it's there for. Yeah, there are people that don't need it. I met six of them.
Speaker 2:So you slept at the airport.
Speaker 1:I did sleep at the airport. It was very not fun.
Speaker 2:Did the flight go out in the morning?
Speaker 1:It did go out in the morning, but by the time I got to New York I was absolutely exhausted. But I promised my mother I would take her food shopping. So I did. You're a good son. Thanks, jimmy.
Speaker 1:August 27th 1995, the Horde Festival at the Lakewood Amphitheater here in Atlanta, georgia. Black Crows, blues Traveler, ziggy Marley there was a bunch of other bands, I just didn't make it in time Wilco played, morphine played, I think the urban shake dancers. Remember urban shake dancers. They played, I don't remember off the top of my head who else did so.
Speaker 1:Horde stands for horizons of rock developing everywhere and it started in 1992. John popper from Blues Traveler and the Blues Traveler guys came up with this idea that all these big shows happen in the summertime but bands like Blues Traveler you know they only have like 2,000 fans in a city this is their words and that they have to play indoors and they can't do stuff. So they decided why don't we get some of our friends together and if we all go on tour together and if we all bring 2,000 people, we can play outdoor amphitheaters. The first festival had Fish, blues Traveler, widespread Panic, spin Doctors and Colonel Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit and they brought a ton of fans together and it's kind of like the emergence of the next generation of jam bands, because people who didn't know Widespread Panic but like Phish all of a sudden got introduced to them.
Speaker 1:Widespread panic, but like fish all of a sudden got introduced to them. And people who like blues traveler but didn't know any of the others all of a sudden like oh wow, and you know colonel bruce hampton and the aquarium rescue unit, which most people didn't know but are legends here in atlanta. A lot of people got to experience them and what's cool about them is that band members Jimmy Herring went on in 2006 to become the guitarist for Widespread Panic and bassist Oteel Burbridge went on to play for the Allman Brothers band from 1997 to 2014. And the Allman Brothers they retired at that time. 2015, he joins Den and Company and he's been with them ever since.
Speaker 1:And he's done a bunch of other projects and stuff, but Oteel got his big break, his big start with Colonel Bruce Hampton here in Atlanta. So back to the 95 Horde Festival, the Black Crows I had seen about four and a half months earlier. I talked about seeing them open for the Grateful Dead in Tampa, florida. They played Could I have Been so Blind Seeing Things? Jealous Again, remedy. And they did a cover of the Allman Brothers band Statesboro Blues, which was really cool. I was really like when they started playing I was like, is this Statesboro Blues? It was really cool, did a great job. And they did Rolling Stones' Happy kind of a song that they've played, you know, throughout the years, very different from the Tampa show. The set list was very different, just a whole different vibe. Everything was just. And it's only four and a half months in between each of the shows.
Speaker 1:Blues Travelers, you know they did the crowd favorites, hook, run Around a bunch of songs. They did a cover of War's Lowrider. They did the Star Spangled Banner. You know, just make it cool. You know Ziggy Marley, the usual Tomorrow People Power to Move Ya, and of course you know, always doing his dad's covers of Get Up, stand Up and Could you Be Loved? You know, I think it was a cool concept at the right time that a bunch of people needed One. The musicians needed it, as John Popper said, about being able to play to a bigger audience and be able to expand their audiences, but I think that fans needed it. There was just something at that time that was kind of missing and you got to hear all these different bands and be part of something that you could then start to oh, let me buy this album, let me look into this, let me check this out. Oh, let me go see them now when they're doing their own show, and I think it was pretty cool.
Speaker 2:And Jerry Garcia died right, yes, so I mean a lot of dead fans were kind of looking for who to follow next and this was a great way to cross pollinate a lot of those people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it was because you know you have widespread panic. You have fish. You know those two bands, right there you have. They have a lot of followers and none of them are the Grateful Dead and none of them try to be the Grateful Dead. They all try and do their own thing, but they are jam bands. There's no question about that. And you're right, people were looking for something. You know, when the first one started in 92, jerry Garcia was still alive. But by the time I went in in 1995, jerry Garcia had just died. And you know it's like what are we going to do next?
Speaker 2:I remember that a lot of people were really kind of trying to figure out you know what's next.
Speaker 1:And the guy from Blues Traveler came up with a solution. Hey, let's revisit some more music in my shoes Now, going from jam bands to KC and the Sunshine Band Get Down Tonight peaked at number one on Billboard Hot 100, august 30th 1975. I love the opening of this song, the band's instruments playing one note bomb and then the dude on the guitar playing like super fast, almost like a guitar solo, at the beginning of the song. And baby, baby, let's get together, honey, honey, me and you and do the things. Ah, do the things that we like to do. Those are some true spoken words there, jimmy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's deep.
Speaker 1:It was a great beat and even if you didn't want to dance that's the one thing People that didn't like the song, they didn't want to dance, they didn't want to do it their foot was like tapping on the floor. You know, it always made me laugh that that would happen. It was the first number one for the band on the Hot 100. It was also number one on these charts the Billboard Hot Soul Singles, cashbox Top 100, record World Singles but it only made it to number six on the billboard hot disco singles and that just cracks me up. Oh weird, isn't it? I thought you would think the same casey never considered the band a disco band. He always considered it like a r&b band or a funk band, but never a disco band.
Speaker 2:Um, sorry casey, you're a disco band. Yes, hey, if we You're a disco band.
Speaker 1:Yes, hey, if we move a little bit here into the summer 80, blotto they had a song called I Want to Be a Lifeguard Selling shoes another loser working in a shopping mall. It's a novelty song. But not a novelty song. It's sung from the perspective of a guy selling shoes at the mall and dreaming of being a lifeguard. I want an ocean and some sunscreen lotion. Take me to the beach with a thousand pretty girls in reach. I mean, with words like that, you know, you want to be a lifeguard.
Speaker 1:It's really funny how a song that's just kind of a drop in the bucket of all the songs that have happened in the world and that have been created, you know it just stays with me. I mean, I think about this song and it's like, oh hey, and sometime in 2025, in the summer, I want to make sure I talk about this song and the video was actually on the first day of MTV in August of 1981. It actually made the first videos, but I don't think many people actually saw it. I want to be a lifeguard. I want to guard your life. I want to be a lifeguard. Hardly any clothes, sand between my toes, white stuff on my nose alright let's move on to the late summer of 1980.
Speaker 1:A Canadian band, the Kings, released the single. This beat goes on, switching to glide. It's actually two songs and it's one right into the other and they had released one of them at first and it didn't do so well and I remember hearing it. At first I didn't think anything about it, but when they put them together it was just like man, this is really good. I like this. You know, I have lots of friends that I can ding at any time, can mobilize some laughs with just one call. Like a bunch of lunatics, we'll act till way past dawn. Sure, we'll be rocking till our strength is gone. Yeah, this beat goes on With words like that man, that's fantastic. With words like that man, that's fantastic. Debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 August 23, 1980. Reached number 43 on December 13. Again, it's a fun song. I can't imagine it separated. It just didn't work. But when you put them both together it's just like this summer anthem where you're just like boom.
Speaker 2:It's like a Reese's peanut butter cup.
Speaker 1:Maybe that might be a good way to put it together. Nothing matters but the weekend from a Tuesday point of view. Like a kettle in the kitchen, I feel the steam begin to brew, switching to glide. Jimmy, I think every Tuesday I think of those words In my head. I'll be like it's Tuesday and I'm like nothing matters but the weekend from a Tuesday point of view. I think that all the time, 45 years later, I'm still thinking that I mean Loverboy was working for the weekend. Yes.
Speaker 2:That's better lyrics.
Speaker 1:There you go. You know, I think right now it's tick, tick, tick. Minute with Jimmy. It's time for Minute with Jimmy. Minute with Jimmy. Minute with Jimmy. It's time for Minute with Jimmy. Minute with Jimmy.
Speaker 2:Minute with Jimmy alright the Cure Head on the Door. The Head on the Door came out in August 1985. Do you like this record?
Speaker 1:I love this record.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it was a cool change for the Cure. I feel like the earlier albums were a little more organic and this one they were using more electronic sounds, more sequenced drums that kind of had a little more of that New Order kind of sound, more keyboards that just had unusual sounds. And of course it starts out with the hit song In Between Days, which I still love, that song.
Speaker 1:Me too.
Speaker 2:And it also has another hit among Cure fans close to me. But it has some other really great songs on it. A Kyoto song, the Baby Screams. A Night Like this, it's a great record.
Speaker 1:Isn't Push on that album.
Speaker 2:Push is on that album.
Speaker 1:yeah, Push is a fantastic song as well. A Night Like this. For a long time that was one of my favorite Cure songs. I just love that song. I like the way that they do the instrument part of the song. It seems like it's going up.
Speaker 2:I don't know all the words. Yeah, it's building.
Speaker 1:It's building and stuff. I just think it's super cool. I love the album. I agree with you. I think that that was the first album that people really got exposed to the Cure where they were comfortable with saying I like the Cure Because, again, the earlier stuff that was something people didn't like, I liked it. But this here really opened it up to a much bigger audience. But this here really opened it up to a much bigger audience. You know, most of those songs you just talked about were played on wlir, often a lot. But you know, some of the songs made it to other types of radio stations and got to be played so that people could hear it. After this album, standing on the beach, the singles, I think that came out in 86, if I'm not mistaken. That was the album that then exploded.
Speaker 1:The cure in my opinion it did because it had songs from this album, as well as songs prior, that people could now say, oh yeah, I like the cure yeah, like kind of curated ones from the earlier albums.
Speaker 2:It's's like okay, you guys will like these.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And they were singles, I guess. So it made sense that those were probably the most accessible songs for people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, good choice, jimmy. I agree with you on that. Minute with Jimmy Thanks. Minute with Jimmy Staying in 1985, the WLIR Screamer of the Week first week of September, screamin' Tribesmen Date with a Vampire. I don't know any other songs by this band, but this song is like do you know this song, jimmy?
Speaker 2:I don't think so.
Speaker 1:So it starts off with a piano playing like spooky Halloween type sound, and then all of a sudden it's bass, drums and like a heavy guitar and it's just a really cool song. It really is. I don't know where she comes from. She just wouldn't say but we're going down to the graveyard at the finish of the day with words like that and I know I say stuff like that but those words catch me.
Speaker 1:That makes me want to just like wow Australian band. It's just been in my head for 40 years. I mean, I like it. It's another song that's on my phone that I listen to. It's pretty cool. She dresses up in black and wears a red rose in her hair. I know she is a demon, but somehow I just don't care. I've got a date with a vampire girl tonight. It's a rocker, jimmy.
