Texas International Pop Festival - 1969

The Texas International Pop Festival was held in 1969, Aug. 30-Sept. 1, two weeks after Woodstock, in Lewisville, Texas. This is footage I took as a teenager with my Super 8mm film camera. It has Nazz, Rotary Connection, James Cotton, Canned Heat, Johny Winters and Janis Joplin in the footage. Hippies

Correction to previous post: The guitarist that I thought was Terry Kath of CTA, was not, and I can only guess that it was John Till, who replaced Sam Andrew in Janis' Kozmic Blues Band as guitarist.

Harvey Mandell played guitar for Canned Heat, but did not appear in this film. Canned Heat came on about 3:00am, and I constructed a lounge chair out of bags of empty cans and got a great spot about 50 ft in front of the stage for their set.

Fito de la Parra played a black double set of Slingrlnd

continuing artists in order of appearance:(from Grand Funk Railroad), Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, playing his red 335; I'm guessing the big glasses in the dark might be Cynthia from Sly & the Family Stone, but I remember the stage being pretty well lit when they played, Johnny Winter closes, obviously. Later, he & BB went over to the Free Stage to jam and I managed to get onstage because I had a drum key in my pocket. BB passed me a quart of Coors that they were drinking. I said, "Sure, Man."

I had this all documented in a little notebook, that I lost some time in the early 70s, stage setups, drumsets, songlists. Man, I hated losing that. Anyway, as near as I can trell: Cast= Kunulini Yoga Guru "Align yer chakras and pleasure will RUSH up yer spine"; Herbie Mann's bassist(?); James Cotton; Minnie Ripperton w/Rotary Connection;Santana conga; Sly(?);Sam&Dave; Janis& her saxist; Terry Kath of CTA; Canned Heat(Bob, Blind Al, Larry the Mole);TonyJoe White;Stewkey of Nazz;WavyGravy;GFR;TBC
