I just now found out that Built To Spill was still signed to Warner Bros Records. They've been on there for a really long time for a band that's extremely obscure. Usually bands like that who got signed to a major label would put out one or two albums, then get dropped because they weren't selling anything.

I might have to check out Superchunk if they come through the area! Glad you a had good time!

 

Vintage (pre-1969) surf shirt - 0:32 & 0:38 (Cocoa Beach)

 

Jimmy is wearing a "puffy shirt".....

 

We all know you wore a shirt like that back in the day, Barry, with a big mood ring on your pinky finger...you probably had a hat with a feather in it too...



The first Hendrix vid was not the actual Miami Pop Festival of Dec. '68. It was the smaller 1968 Miami Pop and Underground Festival earlier that year in May. Go to youtube, expand and pause at 0:32 and 0:38. The presumed surfer leaning on-stage directly below Hendrix is wearing a vintage "World Small Wave Surf Champs Annual Jaycee Surf Festival" t-shirt, "Cocoa Beach...". Unsure, but think Jaycee's began sponsoring in '65.

 

Groovy, baby.

I wonder if that is Corky Carroll in the Hendrix vid. He did win in '68:

Wow, never heard this before. Sounds like part of the "Endless Summer" soundtrack.

 

That is from years wayyyyyyy before coke head Stevie Nicks and Linsey Buckingham, when they were a real great band. Peter Green was lead guitar; he also started out with John Mayall, as did Clapton, Page, Jeff Beck, etc.

 

True, Greenie was the best. Had a bad trip in Germany...left FM high in dry, because he felt all the money was corrupting them. Was later arrested for threatening his accountant, after he kept sending royalty checks...



Created some great music afterwards...

 

And ole Carlos didn't write "Black Magic Woman", only Latinized it...
Green wrote it in 68, put it out on a single.
No good videos...this one is from '70.

 

Santana added bongos and a donkey jaw

 

"On the road" to the gym in a minute...good driving music.
