Canned Heat, Montreux 1970 (part II)

[kalberthy]

I was there .. I grew up in Switzerland and was eighteen years old when I was in Montreux for Canned Heat, Deep Purple, Brian Auger & Julie Driscol etc. Thanks for the memory ... +

[jazmaan]

The Bear, The Mole, The Sunflower, The Blind Owl and Fito! (And ok, The Snake as a guest). Gotta Love a band full of nicknames!

[alainwalker]

So many Souvenirs ! That concert was great !

[ISB]

Hi, I see from your profile that you're from Switzerland and that you're 57 years old, so I guess you were there? Looks like it was a great concert, judging from these 3 songs, I wonder if the Swiss TV still has the rest of the footage...

[alainwalker]

Yes, I saw a lot of concerts in the Casino before "the Smoke on the Water (Ten Years After, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Taste, Canned Heat, ...) Thank you Mr Claude Nobs !

[ISB]

Yes, Claude Nobs - a cult figure for sure. I love all those bands you've mentioned, but seeing Taste live, now that was rare! Rory performed 5 times later on his own at the Montreux festival, though... he also performed in my hometown, Novi Sad (Serbia) in 1985, not so many bands performed at that time in Eastern Europe...

@alainwalker I guess you've seen Frank Zappa and the mothers of invention as well!

So many Canned Heat fans out there......Love to you all and "Don't forget to boogie"

Alal vera, ISB

[GUISUMS]

The great Alan Wilson. Too bad Larry Taylor and Henry Vestine could not get along. The band was the real boogie deal. They should be in the Hall of Fame. It just doesn't make scense that they are not. The hall admits too much crap and leaves of the Heat and the Moody Blues. The Hall of Fame is a shame.

[JimSBand]

@GUISUMS - They're in OUR Hall of Fame, I guess that's what matters ;-)

[jazmaan]

@GUISUMS Rock 'n Roll Hall of Shame until they induct Canned Heat and Love!

[putdownan8dude]

@jazmaan the rock and roll hall of shame is just a tourist trap to fund corporate fat cats. it has nothing to do with music. or music history. its an amusement park. thats why i dont get pissed when a lot of my favorite artists aren't included for not being media exploited enough. the whole things a joke.

God Bless The Bear and Blind Owl

[atbglenn]

@dobson1202 and don't forget Henry Vestine

ISB than you so much for this video...

Like a lot Bob and Al and all canned heat members. You're great man ISB! Respect for you.

Sorry for my English, I'm from Poland

[ISB]

Heh, thanks...

Poland, eh? That's ok, I'm from Serbia. ;-)

@raptusx

Dobrze, że w Polsce o starym dobrym Canned Heat ('kened hicie') ktoś poza mną pamięta:D Pozdrawiam

[g5uk]

39 years revisited....I can't tell my future....but I sure can tell my past.......It's the Canned Heat.........beautiful.

[g5uk]

OK ISB,,,,,,now let's have a DVD.....you....Beautiful person

[sysmch]

Fantastic these are great - where did you find this! Harvey Mandel is kickin it!

[ISB]

Glad you're diggin' it. I got this footage years ago in a trading with a friend - turned out the DVD was full of rare vids from the Alan Wilson era.

What I want to know though is if there's more footage from this gig, as it was professionally filmed, and of course is there a better quality... but for now, this is it.

Cheers.

[DiamondSoul]

It'd be so great to hunt down the rest of this footage. It would kind of be like Alan and Bob searching for rare blues records for their collection back in the day :)

[ISB]

I like your analogy. :)

[lalielalo]

Awesome footage! As with part I, I only had the audio for this. I can't thank you enough :)

Were there any more gems like these Montreux vids on that DVD?

[ISB]

Yup...
