Start The Week | CANNED HEAT : Rollin' And Tumblin’ | Monterey Pop '67

 Years ago now but certainly since this memorable early appearance,  I went to my first rock festival (Glastonbury?) and experienced Canned Heat amongst many others

I woke that morning at about three a.m. (night? still dark) in the early hours anyway and way before dawn and this is what I heard!

Its a fine way to start your day and hope it starts yours too with jump leads!

COUNTRY JOE AND THE FISH - SECTION 43

Barry Melton on his SG

Country Joe and The Fish at Monterey

It’s something about that shriek—the way it piercingly cuts through the otherwise bird-chirping and cawing dewy morning tranquility of what’s on screen. What is on screen is D.A. Pennebaker’s footage of Country Joe & the Fish performing “Section 43” at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival in California. Although it’s one scene in the larger sequence of a concert film that features monumentally historic performances of Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, The Mamas & the Papas, Janis Joplin and so many more—a document that seems to wholly embody the ’60s counter-culture—these five-and-a-half-minutes feel like something, just, a little different.

I think they may have been on something . . . . . . 

 Now I LOVED the Fish and learned The F-I-S-H. Cheer by rote and played it segued into Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag with Johnny Marter (yes that Johnny Marter - drummer per excellence and drummer with various bands including Mr Big - no, the REAL one, the British one!) 'til out fingers bled! I loved the Fish and bought the first two albums and by the time I got to art school was following Country Joe's every move and enjoyed his soundtrack to Henry Miller's Quiet Days In Clichy (check it out - its FILTH!) So this is why I post this from the Aquarium this morning and it takes me right back. Section 43 wasn't my favourite piece but I wholeheartedly agree with the author of the article here by c depasquale
