Canned Heat - Human Condition, live in Kralingen 1970

The very last filmed footage of the late great Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson; 28 june 1970, he's singing his composition "Human Condition", written about his experience with the psychiatrist after his second suicide attempt. Two months later he was dead. Rest in peace, Al.

P.S. check out the 'sharing stuff' bit at the end, heh...

Of course, there are images and sound of the performance of CH in Fehmarn Festival, 2 or 3 days after the death of Alan. I would like to see and hear them someday.

Greetings and keep up videos of this bunch of hairy, it makes me very happy.

@pornotool No problem, I don't speak English either, I'm Serbian. ;-)

Yes, that "Boston, 29 june 1970" bootleg's date is definitely wrong; on 28 june they played Kralingen, Holland; on 30 june Alan was in London, playing a session in one club, so of course they weren't in America for one day and back to Europe! Cheers.

Sorry ISB, but, Do not correspond the date of June 28 to Bath festival?

[ISB]

@pornotool Bath was at six o'clock in the morning (they were late, should've been 27 june in the evening); Kralingen was late afternoon. Pretty exhausting schedule!

Did Larry play bass on this recording? Because it seems to me that there is some other guy playing it. Also on the guitar is Vestine again...

[ISB]

@dobrotnik

Antonio de la Barreda played bass here, in april '70 Harvey & Larry left, Vestine returned and this fella joined the band. He died recently.

Drago mi je da ti se dopao moj video, imam jos gomilu sa Alanom, a ima tu jos jedan tvoj zemljak koji stalno visi na mojim snimcima, heh... pozdrav iz Novog Sada.

Even though I didn't know Alan personally, I still miss him every god damned day.

[DiamondSoul]

It's so nice to see others who realize Alan's greatness. The man was a genius. :)

"...with his Mississippi Saxophone!"

[luckypenny212]

ever notice that his voice in this song sounds similar to when he sang 'straight ahead' ? I love all of his singing. I wish there were more songs to listen to!

[JimiHendrixFeyenoord]

In my Hometown! me so happy :D going to see the remaining members today at the Bluesrock festival in Tegelen!

[luckypenny212]

i was looking at this video and wanted to know is so different about it..its not an obvious difference, but those of us who love Blind Owl will know..its all in the eyes.

@MsKimmerlimmer

Yes he was a "drugy" but so was Al. Perhaps even more than Bob.

[putdownan8dude]

@ISB la barreda was fito's friend and bandmate from mexico where they played together for four or five years. he replaced taylor who effed off to join a new blues baND john mayall was assembling. taylor and vestine never got along well.

@JA37SWE yeh it looks the same except it has a blue tie dye pattern on the front arms, so either bobs sweat has made it mouldy under the arms or its just a different shirt

[mitchellanthonydillo]

is it just me or is the neck on that bass really really thin
