VIDEO: The Allman Brothers Live at the Atlanta International Pop Festival on 5 July 1970

Hi Readers,

This is absolutely brilliant. It's the first time I've heard this! It's the full concert audio recording of The ALLMAN BROTHERS Band live @ The 'Atlanta International Pop Festival' in Byron, Georgia (GA) on July 5th 1970. This is some of the best Duane Allman I have ever heard! If this doesn't convince anyone of his genius, I don't know what will!

VIDEO: Joe Cocker - A Little Help From My Friends - Woodstock 1969

Hi all, Here's a great bit of nostalgia. This is a neat little video I picked up on YouTube. Here's the blurb by the poster, patokaman: There was two shows at the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival. One was on stage. One was the people off stage. This is my montage of the people and face's of Woodstock, and yes I realize after I posted this, there are a couple of blooper's.

EVENT: Rock Legends Cruise II - Book Now!


ROCK LEGENDS CRUISE II
SAILS JANUARY 2013
WITH MORE THAN 15 BANDS AND 50 SETS OF MUSIC
ALL IN FOUR DAYS

MONIES RAISED FROM THE TRIP
TO BENEFIT
THE NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE ASSOCIATION
BY PROVIDING BASIC NEEDS
TO MORE THAN 90,000 LAKOTA SIOUX
THROUGHOUT SOUTH DAKOTA


If the idea of Foreigner, Paul Rodgers, Credence Clearwater Revisited, Bachman & Turner and 38 Special all performing together on the high seas sounds like the perfect way to kick off 2013, it’s time to book your passage now on ROCK LEGENDS CRUISE II.

And the monies raised will go to an important organization: the Native American Heritage Association.

Following last year’s inaugural ROCK LEGENDS CRUISE, the January 2013 ROCK LEGENDS CRUISE II will feature more than 15 bands performing multiple sets, collaborating musically, meeting and greeting and relaxing alongside fans throughout the four-day excursion. 

The ROCK LEGENDS CRUISE II departs Fort Lauderdale, FL Thursday, January 10 and docks Saturday, January 12 in Labadee, Haiti before returning to Fort Lauderdale Monday, January 14.

The weekend long musical journey will feature three easily accessible performance venues on the ship: The Deck, The Platinum Theater and Studio B/Ice Rink. 

The line-up as of (3-27) includes: Foreigner, Paul Rodgers, Credence Clearwater Revisited, Bachman & Turner, 38 Special, The Marshall Tucker Band, Blue Oyster Cult, Foghat, Molly Hatchet, Kentucky Headhunters, Pat Travers, The Artimus Pyle Band, Black Oak Arkansas, Royal Southern Brotherhood, Devon Allman’s Honeytribe, SwampDaWamp and Whiskey Myers, with acts still to be confirmed (exact set times will be released closer to the launch date). 

Beyond the musical performances and onboard auction, sailors can also enjoy traditional ship board activities including on-board surfing (thanks to its FlowRider wave generator), a boxing ring, a full-sized volleyball/basketball court, cantilevered whirlpools and variety of gourmet restaurants. 

In addition, while docked at the private secured Labadee resort - situated on the north coast of Hispaniola which averages a high of 84.9 degrees in January - passengers can enjoy Kayaking, Snorkeling, Parasailing and Wave Runners at the resort’s stunning beaches, surrounded by beautiful mountain slopes and exotic foliage.

The Liberty of the Seas from Royal Caribbean is one of the biggest, fastest and most luxurious passenger vessels in service today; it is served by a crew of 1300 on 18 decks.

The Native American Heritage Association has been working on reservations in South Dakota for more than 18 years and is a 4-star charity with www.charitynavigator.org for seven consecutive years. 

Native American Heritage Association tractor trailers are on the road daily with supplies to the various far flung communities and 94% of the organizations total revenue goes towards program services which provide basic life necessities, including fuel assistance and medical transportation to 90,000 people.

Many of these residents face an 80% rate of unemployment; 70% don’t have transportation and many of those who do, don’t have the means to purchase gas. 

These Lakota Sioux live in abandoned school buses, shacks or government housing with no insulation, some live without indoor plumbing, in homes with dirt floors, no beds or furniture. More information can be found at:  http://www.naha-inc.org/.

To book passage on ROCK LEGENDS CRUISE II, go to www.rocklegendscruise.com or call 888-666-1499 with any questions.

WOMADELAIDE - Coming to Adelaide from 9 to 12 March

Natalie Pa'apa'a performs with Blue King Brown...Natalie Pa'apa'a from Blue King Brown - Image via WikipediaHi everyone,

For my Australian readers, get ready for the biggest explosion of World, Rock and Fusion music you have heard since ... well, Womadelaide last year!

Just some of the great acts this year include:

Baaba Mal (Senegal)

Since the eighties, Baaba Maal has been an icon of African music. His distinctive voice, exhilarating live shows and willingness to experiment with different sounds, while always retaining the beauty of the Senegalese traditions he grew up with, have seen him headline events from the BBC Proms to Damon Albarn’s Africa Express.

Blue King Brown (Australia)

Hailed by Carlos Santana as “The voice of the street and the band of the future”, Blue King Brown defines urban roots music empowered with fiery social messages. Built on a rock-steady foundation of reggae, their distinctly original sound unites Afrobeat, world and Latin influences with Natalie Pa’apa’a’s fiery vocals and political lyrics.

Chris Finnen (Australia - Adelaide boy!)

The raw honesty of the blues courses through Chris Finnen’s music. A guitar virtuoso, Chris has been an icon of Adelaide’s music scene for 40 years. His original blues songwriting always exhibits a wry humour and embraces a startling tapestry of cultural influences, from Indian and Celtic traditions to African flavours.

Johnny Clegg (South Africa)

Long before Paul Simon went to Graceland, Johnny Clegg flouted apartheid laws in South Africa by forming seminal mixed-race band Juluka in the 1970s. Establishing the template for fusing Western pop and English vocals with Zulu rhythms, Johnny has sold more than five million albums through 30 years of performing.

And heaps more! Go to: http://www.womadelaide.com.au/artists to view the line-up and schedule.

If you've never been to Womadelaide before, prepare to be blown away! See you there!
