Rain Clouds, Ravi Shankar at Woodstock, 1969

Images of clouds taken by me in June 2008 at Jammu winter capital of Jammu And Kashmir. Music thanks to Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Alla Rakha at Woodstock 1969. An interesting footnote: George Harrison visited Kashmir in 1966 along with Ravi Shankar to learn Sitar.

Good shit man. I preferred Shankar at Monterey, but this is still great. What the fuck the editors were thinking by not putting Ravi in the movie is beyond me...

What's the name of the instrument at 1:30?? I love it

@GingerGarlicOnion Ravi Shankar was very disappointed in his Woodstock performance due to the rain, the photographers, and the stoned audience. Even his Live At The Woodstock festival was largely overdubbed. As psychedelic as his music was, Shankar himself did not approve of psychedelics.

why did i not here of this, why does nobody talk about ravi shankar at woodstock, everybody knows the who was there and jimi hendrix n stuff, i've never heard of ravi being there until now, i feel ........stupid

@Lynx1525 I thought of a very simple reason for this, but I prefer not to evoke it here and I might be wrong... though, they had black people on this show! I guess it was too "exotic" for western people at the time.
