Canned Heat - Turpentine Moan & On The Road Again

[frokkelprokkel]

fuck man! thats the most awesome bass - player in the world!!!!!!!

[jakandjakesjams]

LARRY FUCKING TAYLOR

[luckypenny212]

check out fito at 6:10!! greatness

[michaudd61]

The Bear seemed really smart about music.  Too bad he let his drug habit take him out so young.

[putdownan8dude]

flattest playboy chick ever

[cordedpoodle]

Kids, don't forget the Mole (Larry Taylor bass) who is still around playing in Tom Waits band. Henry Vestine also made some records with the great Albert Ayler. Yes I saw the original line up. Wonderful band. Henry and the Mole ripped it up that night.

[pretorious700]

My band opened for Canned Heat in a club in Raleigh, NC in 1974. They were all so wasted the crowd booed them off and the club owner asked us to play another set. I don't think Bob Hite was even in the band then. I felt really bad for them. I have always been a big fan.

[joycejnn]

@pretorious700 Yes they went to rack and ruin after Alan died.Alan was the musical genius who sourced all the material and did all the arrangements.It was Alan who gave them their 2 hits and who was Canned Heat.

[PolarSkua]

@joycejnn I do agree with you. I think Hite et al. were aware of Wilson's special musical attributes but were deluding themselves with regard to their own contributions to the band's success. I understand the post-Wilson lineups felt entitled to Wilson's share of royalties as well.

[apataye]

@joycejnn Not quite right. Alan was the biggest genius in the band, but NOT THE ONLY ONE. And, about post-wilson Canned Heat: right after his death they recorded 2 excellent LP´s, one of which is AS GOOD AS ANY of their best (seriously). Check it out, please: "Historical Figures" 1971.

[themindsound]

Is Canned Heat featured on either Playboy After Dark DVD releases?

[spikew10]

@themindsound If you type in layboy after dark canned heat on youtube. there are new uploaded videos about 1 month old now. And yes there are dvd's but they cost a bomb. Type in cannned heat playboy after dark and I recall it comming up.

[alijav091]

My favourite canned heat lineup, they sure got things shaking when they were together..

[ebecenti]

F*ckin' Amazing Talent!!

[spikew10]

Where is the ending of on the road again?

[twoslices]

What happened to Henry Vestine?

[jezmundberserker]

@twoslices: Died in 97 in France after a tour.

[TheOjeda2008]

already tried, but no way. Anyway, thank you

[rustyoltimer]

@TheOjeda2008 just Google "Turpentine Moan Lyrics"

[rustyoltimer]

I had the privilege of seeing this incarnation of "CH" twice, as I lived near L.A. Tremendous musicians!

[TheOjeda2008]

@rustyoltimer

I am searching the lyrics for Turpentine moan (of course, English is not my mother tongue). I love this song.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much indeed

[stomp919]

Dont ya feel good now that you,ve listened to all that boogying? I sho am glad!

[Mazraf]

Henry Vestine!

[thestrtingline48]

just heard of this band recently, and as happens way too often with people of my generation (1990) who find out about great old bands, i was so angry to find out both bear and blind owl died young.

[spikew10]

@thestrtingline48 Tragic. Same, I nearly cried.

[olddavid4]

Take a mouth full of sugar drink a bottle of turpentine- They're all gone! Bear, Blind Owl.............isn't that Harvey Mandel on lead? I apologize he says its Henry Vestine. Look behind on the wall at the Marantz and Fisher tube equipment.

[zelenious]

Alan IS the reigning "kang" of tone !!! He can say more in one note than John poppe will in his whole career !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CherrySlush1]

That was great. I saw Canned Heat that year just days after they played at Woodstock. It's weird seeing them play in front of that audience and Henry in a suit! Really cool to hear the Bear talking about his famous record collection.

[bahe2010utube]

where did all whores go to kill yourself.?

[ferrovelhorock]

This Really KICK ASS! One of the best sound i heard!

[willruddock]

Hey, chicks from the 60s, I bet you're all real sorry you didn't ignore his hygiene so you could fuck him huh?

[sorcerer666]

Poor Alan Wilson commited suicide over depression of never being able to get girls.

[31wst]

Oh really? That's why he committed suicide?

[1994g0]

A truly great band.Hite was a mighty on stage presence.Vestine a pyrotechnic lead guitar.And Wilson........Of Wilson, I will do nothing more than refer to Schopenhauer`s immortal dictum: "Genius and madness are sure near allied-and thin is the partition that their walls do divide."

[lonelyboylv]

@stonerbudkap Naw... he banged Lindsay Wagner that night. Yeah, that Lindsay Wagner

[MisterBCbudman]

@stonerbudkap ... ithink you would l have let the bear fuck you if you could only have been born earlier.

[stonerbudkap]

@MisterBCbudman It would have been more ass than you ever got.

[MisterBCbudman]

@stonerbudkap okay then you are validating you were a prison bitch for 7 years. all that for sealing canned heat cds from walmarts loading dock and selling them on ebay...

[MisterBCbudman]

@stonerbudkap is this an auto reply email ,,is this your best ? how many people want to beat your ass on u tube now? so run and hide and block people who reply to your racist, insane , meth addict comments!!!!!

[stonerbudkap]

[MisterBCbudman]

[stonerbudkap]

[MisterBCbudman]

@stonerbudkap ,,yes of course i love you..please phone me my number is 555-6669

i love your house ,it was built in 1922 very solid , maybe i can move into the basement xoxoxxox

[salforddude]

I saw Canned Heat at the Rock and Blues years ago. Sunflower played. The best gig ever at the Rock and Blues

[snubbs741]

damn owl plays that song different every time he's abusing that harp haha

[pawnee55]

Hollywood scene-sters dancing feverishly to blues music ... you'd never see that these days. It would have to be JayZ now. Different times.

[allman21]

that in itself is terribly depressing. they say history is cyclical so hopefully we can see a repeat of this music.

[zilla4069]

True,but now music is getting worse.Rock is horrible today 3 strings at the most badly written crap.

[turnbs]

What awesome footage of a truly great band. How lucky the audience just to be there!

[Mazraf]

Henry Vestine is the man!

[willruddock]

They'd better get them into the Hall of Fame while Fito and Mole are still alive.

[GUISUMS]

Read his biography. He was a tortured genious. Henry Vestine was phenominal, but abused drugs. Larry was on the road since he was 17, a true professional, a great bass player who still performs and the Bear was the Bear. They belong in the Hall of Fame. They belong in the Hall of Fame. But what does the hall know. The admit popular crap and leave the Heat and Moody Blues out. The Hall of Shame.

[DoctorOboogie]

The BEAR and Al Wilson were GENUIS!!!

[trench]

ALAN!

[MrSokoloffs]

Классное видео))) Really awesome!

[trabazoss]

GROSSO

[rabbitshirt]

I love the bopping heads, man!!!

[rocknrolla81]

man this rocks. I wish Alan, Bob and henry where still alive so I could see them perform. damn what a band. They sure as hell dont make music like this anymore.

[xojbabyxo]

really like this...great performance..awesome!!

[educassiano]

The second one has some nice harmonica going on.

[SavantSvant]

That's Allan Wilson, one great man for the blues! One of the greatest (if not the greatest) white blues players in the history. You should read more about him, you wont regret it! :)

RIP

Blind Owl!

[downhill240]

On the Road Again, one of my all-time faves!

[ohiosevere]

Wow great video, one of just a few with Al in it. Thanks for posting.

[bethnalgreeen]

staggeringly good! It's like they're channelling the great bluesmen from the past and just pouring it out in their own way. But Alan is the true medium to the blues. I mean the guy was just blessed with an unreal talent. Until this video, I'd never heard Bob interviewed --articulate guy. His well-spoken, polite demeanour doesn't match his stage persona but it's real nice to see .... absolutely no sign of any that star ego bullshit or snide coolness that afflicts so many front men.

[danslatente]

haha, stage persona? Contrast Jimi Hendrix on stage and during interviews...

[beschermengel]

You're so true about Alan and Bob.

He wasn't as big as I recall him being, later on. and kinda handsome too.

with his 15,000 78s..

And Alan.. Shy boy..

Beautiful footage.

More! MORE!!

[glexke]

Man , who says white men can't play the blues?????? grtz from Belgium

[gittahfiend]

check out the "deadly" drum fill at 6:10

[juventus0830]

Nixon's inauguration day.  1/20/69

[reissue]

Alan Wilson, you were great. RIP all the passed over Heat guys.

[hermanitostandil]

Blind Owl, you're on the road for ever!!!!

[DiamondSoul]

Blind Owl... no words to describe. ARGH, too bad it cuts off though that was brilliant.

[DiamondSoul]

tune in about 5:00min and u'll understand... I hope!

[vampireblues23]

i love canned heat. No one does this anymore.

[rocknrolla81]

Larry Taylor is always rockin out. I wonder if he still head bangs.

[microtechg7]

Larry's brain had to be mush by the time he was 30.

[dolina64]

WOW. Good times.

[Judge85]

Alan Wilson is an amazing guitarist, and harmonica player.

[1994g0]

True.And he was a musical genius.And he had a hypotnic vocal delivery.

Alan was a phenomenal talent.R.I.P. Alan Christie Wilson

[doobiesz]

Alan Wilson... that harping hes doing before the song cuts off is pretty much the best ive ever heard.

His talents as a vocalist and musician are simply amazing. Its safe to say we will never see another quite like the Blind Owl.

[rottengrundle]

thanks for posting this! don't forget to boogie!

[genericgeorge]

Blind Owl could make that thing speak.

[send2meez]

for the Heat to get the key to the Playboy mansion had to be a mind blower for them

[adamg709]

This line up was really something - they make a lot of the 'white blues' guys sound like chicken in the basket music. Check out Al Wilson's acoustic stuff on 'The Boogie House tapes.' There is also some stuff on those Cds that sound like the blueprint for Led Zep, although I have never heard any of them refer to Canned Heat.

[TragicCanyon]

Sunshine Vestine rips!Bob the Bear Hite is the shite!The Blind Owl howls!

[twangman5]

Wow thats hot stuff, shame it finished...

[snuffaluffagass]

The Bestjam ever.

[Raymantico]

For a few minutes of Al Wilson playing harp=OW!

[TDKIII]

what album did you buy? is it new or used?

[songliter]

"The Mole" has been playing bass with Tom Waits for a long time now...

[wellsrams]

Bob RIP, Top Geezer!

[gary52car]

fried hockey boogie dude was talented!!

[ORELUR]

I've always had a soft spot for this band.Unbeatable spirit and a joyous blues feeling even when they sounded a bit wobbly. I hope some young people coming up turn on to these guys.

[Belerovor]

just happened i'm 17 ;) i hope my first vinyl of them arrives this week ;)

[tariksba]

i don't understand why the audience is dancing on the 2nd song,it's a tune to listen not for dancing.

[Tigerpaw10]

I believe this is a clip from a TV show and the dancing is what the "TV stage" audience was instructed to do-it wasn't spontaneous.

[tariksba]

ah,ok ,i understand now.thanx.

[kharmabum]

Why would you NOT dance to boogie music?

[ToferMc]

RIP Bob 'Bear' Hite and Alan 'Owl' Wilson

[fuefedahoidda]

and henry vestine

[tabilosky]

yeeeah

[pecne]

Heeey!! Dont forget to boogie!!!!!

[rotyoung]

hmm this one time I would go to the mansion for the music alone ;-)

[rotyoung]

:-) Reading the magazine for the articles and visiting the mansion for the music....

They'll believe you :-)

[hagusmcfeeble]

bobk > hugh

[jaydreamer03]

wheres the rest of the video?

[slothiegachoo]

I agree! What tha fuck?

I luv this. Hugh Hefner invented Hot Chix and Rock and Roll on TV!

Hugh is a GOD! Reuben Steurman rocks too!

HOT CHIX AND ROCK AND ROLL RULE!

taxiboysdrummer

[ray0952]

[nutopianman]

Fabulous!!!

Don't forget to BOOGIE!!!!!

[IndigoBlu736]

whats with all the instrumentation and meters behind the band?? they look like there in kennedy space center or somthing

[canadianstudmuffin]

Great band..."Hallelujah" is one of my all time favorite records.

[Shibatabomberman]

Thanks for posting!!

[1994g0]

Alan Wilson at The Playboy Club?Like Beethoven at a German brothel.

Both these geniuses had trouble getting women."London Fog" is a blues riff by Alan bewailing his failure with an English girl. Alan looks better -that`s a fine shirt he`s wearing-than usual.I hope Hefner set Alan up with one of the hot girls at the party.

Henry "Sunflower" Vestine -rather than Harvey Mandel- plays lead guitar here. Henry was more talented than Mandel.

But Alan Wilson was the key to Canned Heat

Glen

[MusicDude86]

me and the Blind Owl make the same faces when playing the guitar....Crazy!!!!!

[slothiegachoo]

PLAYBOY after Dark RULES!

taxiboysdrummer

[luangu]

long haired freaky people. YEAH!!

[DasSparschwein]

BLUEEEEES!! nothing is cooler

[enforcer4444]

Kick ASS BLUES!!!!!!!!!!

[Ledvolta]

never seen this before :)

[fasaninstan]

Does anyone know what kind of amp Henry is using? Is that a Fender Twin?

[drewdman]

I used to hang out with Henry in Eugene, Or. I always thought he was just a local guy who could play a mean guitar. Years later I found out I'd been drinking beer and telling jokes with one of the greatest guitarists of all time!!!! He was a great guy!

[IC2720]

You can see Henry looked real bad even here. I used to take Henry his mail, get him up off the floor and convince him to eat something. Booze was what killed him, and people who hung out with him just to be "near" him were only enabelers. There were just a few of us who tried to get him to clean up. It's rough to think of the times I held the hair out of his face while he vomited, and wiped up after him. Fucking alcohol, and hangers on, they even robbed his apartment on 3rd street after he died.

[drewdman]

He used to play at that bar on 3rd and Lawrence(?) called "The Blue Note." The place has gone through many name changes and transformations, all bad, except for that 1 year around 1990 when it was the Blues mecca! Henry played there all the time. I've seen hundreds of Dead shows and thousands of concerts, and I can honestly say that was some of the best music of my life!

[IC2720]

btw, drewdman, I'm not blameing you. There were a lot of people like you, who knew Henry, and thought he was a local icon. He was, and as you pointed out, he was a great guy. You, me and anyone else who kne him were blessed to know such a good guy.

[drewdman]

Thanks, IC. Like I said, I had know idea at the time who he was. I liked to hang out at Lucky's and he was always there. I also made sure to hear him play around town. I totally respect your efforts to help him kick booze. If he was someone I knew better, and knew how bad of an acloholic he was, I would have tried to help him, just like I'd do for any friend. That said, I remember him mostly for his sense of humor and all around fun loving spirit.

[mrbizzarro]

a true gem! great to see the owl take center stage. rip to all the greats from the heat.

[twoslices]

Where's Henry Vestine now?

[blahblahy0y0]

He died in 1997, I'm afraid.

[roscoe008]

Henry Vestine in a black suit, white shirt and black necktie---wow, never saw that before or since.

[sec101]

so amazing!

[dylanfan1969]

Such whiteness, haha!

[casebyron]

My new favorite Canned Heat video. Thanks for posting. Awesome to see them performing live. Truly laying it down.

[junkdrum]

Blind Owl, that was delightful.

[glennhmartin]

Back in the late 60's Canned heat turned all us young white kids onto the REAL blues. They were incredible especially live. RIP Alan (Blind Owl), Bob (The Bear), and Henry (Sunflower).

DON'T FORGET TO ...BOOGIE!

[supermaxitaly67]

Never seen this one before.... Alan Wilson RULES! Am reading his biography right now, he was really a genius.

[goatboy420]

Is that the Craven Lovelace book?

If so is it any good? If you haven't read Fito's book yet I strongly recommend that one, too!

And yeah, the Blind Owl completely fucking rules!!!

[goatboy420]

Fuck, scratch that! I meant the Blind Owl book by Rebecca Winters- sorry!

[belleray2]

Just too good!They don't make em like that anymore. Alan just blew me away.still spinning.Thanks.

[ioriorioriorio]

I saw this high and I thought it was the banana splits!!

[nerdelicious5]

LOL

[annieandmac]

I've waited years to see a video of Alan Wilson doing "On the Road Again" Can't thank you enough!! Long live the Canned Heat!!!!

[spekkyfox]

Thanks for posting this.

i was 10 yrs old in Scotland when i heard my firtst CH record in 1970 and I've waited till now to see the Blind Owl sing this. and what about The mole on bass? i didn't realise he was so animated.

Thanks again.

[jonnytbirdzback]

Did anyone else notice that someone accidentaly slapped Al Wilson at 6:32?

[bungletofantomas]

thank you soo much for the heat video. So difficult to find anything on this incredible band.

[LesbianVampireLover]

Is "Barbara" actually a very young Barbie Benton? Anyway, Canned Heat was a great band. Saw 'em in Atlanta in 1969. "The Bear" (Bob Hite) just kinda jumped onto the stage from the darkness at the Atlanta Pop Festival. So damned good.

[YRSAL]

Thanks for sharing ... cheers!

[ISB]

"thank you ISB for the info"

you're welcome. 20 january was the recording date, the show was first aired on 16 may though. they appeared one more time, on 20 november 1969 (recording date, first broadcasted in early 1970, too lazy to check the exact date now), and there they did "Future Blues" & Alan's sadly prophetic "My time ain't long".

[recordguy4321]

This is Priceless!! Great record collector banter between the expert(Bob the the Bear) and the casual (Hef). Geez they were smokin on this show and what can you say about Alan Wilson. He was so great!!

[panzerson2]

go blind owl!

[ryanzuk]

shine on, sunflower!

[joklajoepete]

Awesome video !

[ISB]

P.S. 20 january 1969.

[ISB]

great to see you and your videos back, man.
