Richie Havens is an almost unheard of performer in today's music, which is bogus as this guy is amazing, just tearing those strings up, being the first performer at Woodstock and being an overall badass. He deserves more from today's youth, and this is coming from a 19 year old, I salute you Richie.
I stood next to Richie Havens as he performed this song solo on the gymnasium floor among the audience in the fall of 1973 at the University of Pittsburgh, at Johnstown, PA campus. Best version is in my memory.
the chick as you choose to say happens to be uschi nercke. she was the person responsible for "beat club" on german tv, THE major rock channel on the continent for about ten years.
if it weren`t for that chick nercke, you wouldn`t even be watching this, my friend.
as for beat club, there are dozens of great vids on youtube, most if not all live (as this was beat club policy! examples? blue cheer, alice cooper, MC5, new york dolls, stevie wonder, roxy music...
@typestter Screwing the video is the idea of that technique. It's called "cutting a track" and obviously someone has complained about Copyright Violations. That is why it was done.

@typestter That chick was part of the show that this performance orginally broadcasted on. Maybe she was the host of the show.
