Bet they were well pleased when the film came out and they realised that they really did see what they had kept quiet about over the past year-for fear of being laughed at&thought of as bonkers by thier mates,
GOT TO love Sha Na Na! The EXTREMELY rare example of a white band who did a full stage show ala black soul and r&b acts. Whose more fun than Sha Na Na?????????!!!!!!!!!
the original release dates on these songs are as follows: "wipe out" 1963, "teen angel" 1959, "book of love" 1958, "duke of earl" 1962. so in 1969, the oldest of the songs was 11 years old & the most recent was only 6 years old. it would be like if a band playing at the 2012 coachella festival did songs from 2001-2006, e.g. "clint eastwood" by gorillaz & "crazy" by gnarls barkley.
@wallofvideo 6 years meant a lot more back then. Music changed a lot more quickly and was forgotten a lot faster. Look at Lenny Kaye's Nuggets album. He was releasing obscure old music-hits from the mid 60s, in 1972. It's like the way a person changes more going from 13 to 19 than from 53 to 59.
Hard to believe this is over 41 years ago. It just does not feel like it was anywhere near that long ago. Remember being 15 years old for me feels like only 5 years ago not 41 years ago. Life goes so fast.
Born in 1954. Turned 15 when this was going on. Remember it clearly because my parents never allowed me to go to any concert until I was 18 years old with anyone.. This happened 3 years before I went to my first ever concert in the Spring 1972.
@bretoff You would be surprised to know half of the Village People are actually completely straight with only interest in Women. That was a shock to me when I found that out. Half of them are not even Bi-sexual.
@ITALOVER2 I would definitely rather be missing some teeth and have a big fat wife than be jewish.Kikes are worse than niggers and spics combined.Hitler also said,aside from their big noses,greedy behavier and sloped heads,jews have a really disgusting smelly body odor.Unfortunately I know what he was talking about.Living in the Poconos,I smelled quite a few NYC jews.It actually made me put my groceries back a couple times.Too bad the oven wasn't quite big enough for your grandparents.
@CHUCKYDAPILL Why do people spew such poison and ruin the enjoyment of the music. If they don't like it why are they listening? If they don't like it, just move on to something they do.
@CHUCKYDAPILL I read somewhere that Hendrix actually liked them... they're a good band, they only became more popular at Woodstock, you hear the crowd, they like them...
@99bluesboy.....Thank You..I left his comments up because I wanted everyone to see that people like him still exist.....I thought it was his idea of humor. Yes, Jimi Hendrix saw Sha Na Na at a NYC club. Also Bill Graham, and Keith Moon were big fans of the Sha Na Na...
Your ignorance is only exceeded by your stupidity and advertising it in print. Word has it Hendrix saw Sha Na Na perform and liked them so much he had the promoters bring them up to Woodstock. So, like or not they were there sharing the stage because of Hendrix. Do a bit more research and you'll find out the members were a cross section of students at Columbia University, so your anti-Semitic rant only demonstrates you swim at the bottom of the gene pool.
@99bluesboy If that's true I won't listen to Hendrix anymore.But I highly doubt it's true.You fucking jew lover.If I swam at the bottom of the gene pool I'd be swimming with the jews,which I certainly don't do so blow it out your ass.Kike.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Someone should've shot these asshole NYC jews for even thinking they were qualified to share a stage with Johnny Winter and Hendrix.What's with that rampant sense of entitlement with the NYC jews?This was Woodstock not a fucking SOCK HOP you weirdos
Odd how they played after Crosby, Stills & Nash, who played in the wee hours of the dark morning, then they play at the break of dawn and Jimi came on around 9:00 a.m. and played a 2 hour set. Three radically different bands in a row!
When I had first read about Woodstock many yrs ago, I remember thinking Sha Na Na was there? I knew who they were & their gold glitter outfits just didn't seem to fit the ambience. But they did a good set even though the crowd had dwindled by that time.
Fascinating...admittedly still a bit cartoonish, but wtf, they managed to keep the sound going at a time when too many (I personally never did and never have) had forgotten it or were moving on...shame the parody overshadowed their musical (and vocal) chops, but it worked...superfine post, thank you...
Wow I didn´t know that this song was played on Woodstock too, seems that every great song I know was played there (AND every song played on Woodstock is great ;) )
I used to go to all the Rockabilly concerts when I was in my teens and early 20's. I wish there were more bands like ShaNaNa and Flash Cadillac today.
@maahal Flash Cadillac was also a great band. I've seen some Good Rockabilly bands around. There is a very good band called "HOT ROD LINCOLN" From the west coast.
@MarieW521 Hi! Yes, Thats Henry! Before I saw this, the only thing I had seen him do was sing "REMEMBER THEN" without his guitar..........THIS IS REALLY COOL!!
if i'm not mistaken Henry Gross was only 18 at that time, which makes him the youngest performer at Woodstock, the rest of the guys on SNN are either 19 or 20. really cool indeed, Thanks for posting this CHUKYDAPILL.
I believe surreal drummer Michael Shrieve of Santana was the youngest at 17 and Buzzy Feiten (yes, THAT Buzz Feiten of the Tuning Systems) was 17 or 18 as well
I looked it up just now and found out that Michael Shrieve was 20 yrs old in Woodstock, which would still make him one of the youngest, but not the youngest.

I was a kid when this happened, my older brother bought the 'Woodstock' double album and the only song on it I liked was Sha Na Na's 'At The Hop'
