i FIRST WAS EXPOSED TO TIM HARDEN BY AN OREGON LADY NAMED PENNY GORDON, I BECAME A FAN IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE SUNG HIS PRAISES FAR AND WIDE, PARDON THE PUN BUT HE WAS A MASTER CARPENTER WHEN IT CAME TO WRITING AND PERFORMING. GOD BLESS YOU PENNY GORDON WHEREVER YOU ARE FROM NICK AT THE KMART IN WESTMINSTER/.CORONA CALIFORNIA
Oh the Miss Tea Rose...too lovely to leave alone even when I knew I should have. I only hope to find another!!! Thanks Tim for saying what I couldn't.
The rhythm section includes Eddie Gomez and Warren Bernhardt. Gomez is one of the great jazz bassists of all time, best known for his lengthy association with the great Bill Evans. Bernhardt, a highly regarded and incredible pianist, is one of Evans' most notable disciples. This was a great era for music, where jazz and other musicians would co-mingle (witness Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, which included Richard Davis on bass). Sadly, rock/folk players aren't that hip anymore.
It was available on The Woodstock Chronicles DVD (I think that's the title). I have it at home but don't have tech to help you out there.There's not much footage o Tim, and I don't have any other moving footage
What a lovely version by the song's writer. I know and love it from the wistful Astrud Gilberto reading, but Hardin's has a rawness I like too... a privilege to be able to hear it. thanX fpr posting.
thank you kindly for posting this stunning live version, different from recorded one. exquisite. can't find his woodstock performance of "if i were a carpenter" -which is controversial in itself, so many think it's his worst performance ever because he was so stoned, and passing out, i thought it was just incredible to watch. he's passing out but does the song with so much soul, it's mind wrenching. have any idea where i can find it online? the video.. of that performance.
Im not sure, but I suspect they copyrighted the woodstock version so youtube blocks it, because I too have been looking all over for that particular recording.
@reeblite helloo there,....i totally agree with you, in fact iv signed up just so i can write this to you. and everyone else i guess..i kept watching this over and over, even his playing is so soft and elequant ....iv got a fantastic version of woodstock,(bit of a collector really)(i sit and watch the whole 3-4 hours of it and get completely emersed in the beautifull atmosphere of the festival, for those days are sadly lost forever now , far far far away from these even more lost times) ...

@reeblite huhuh anyway, its called "woodstock diary 1969" with a picture of John Sebastian on the front cover, its a rare piece of Tim Hardin footage, of "If i were a carpenter"..i dont think its on the original film tho. .. But stoned or not, the feeling, is there..and its my favourite peice from the film.....what a genius
@reeblite Tim LOOKS like a mess in that clip, and in a few places he obviously zones out and loses focus . . . but overall his voice and his guitar work are both sure, and that gritty soulfulness of his vocal tone comes through wonderfully. And despite his condition, he's together enough to improvise what sounds like a new verse at the end.
It is good to back to the day when I hard this Tim Hardin song. I'm still there back in the day. TK YOU
