Apropos of Nothing in Baja, Except Me, Pt. III


A friend was recently recalling the Montery Pop Festival of '67.

Janis Joplin became famous there: http://www.openculture.com/2017/03/watch-janis-joplins-break...

I was privileged to see her live a week or so before Woodstock at the three day long Atlantic City NJ pop festival held at the old racetrack.

The stage was revolving so the next group to play could set up without delay between acts.

Janis left nothing in reserve. She gave all she had and it showed. What a girl!

One of my enduring memories was when Santana was about to play and we started to hear these jungle drums beginning to beat behind the stage. For a good ten minutes or more the beating of the drums kept rising and rising and rising until the stage turned around and Carlos ripped into his guitar for Soul Sacrifice and brought the house down. It still gives me the chills fifty years later just thinking of it. Ok, 49 years later.

Those three days were my college girlfriend and I our own personal Woodstock. I have often wished it had been filmed like Woodstock was. Most of the acts that played at Woodstock were there. There was no mud, except maybe in some temporarily expanded minds. It was wonderful and relatively innocent.

Making it back to class on Monday morning in NC, well, I missed a few. I had to pullover and sleep on the way home late that night in the VW transporter and was didn't care a bit. The cost was far outweighed by who we got to see play live.

Thanks to all music lovers here.
