Canned Heat 2010: Woodstock Legends John Paulus, Fito de la Parra,
Harvey Mandel, and Dale Spalding
My own favorite blues-rock band comes to town. I’ve followed them since the early seventees and collected most of their record albums. One of the first movies i’ve put on my home-site was a clip from the German program “Beat Club” with a very young and high-energy Canned Heat. The footage of the song “So Sad” played live at the Kralingen Festival in 1970 was just as impressive…
And now the band is coming to the Lantaarn club at my home town. Expectations weren’t too high because original members Bob ‘the bear” Hite en Al “the blind owl” Wilson are long time gone.
But much to my surprise I saw a band that was as hot as hell! Original drummer man Fito has found some first class musicians that made this concert my favorite one of the year 2010. Never heard of John Paulus and Dale Spalding before but they fit in perfectly and Harvey “the snake’ Mandel has always been mine favorite guitar player. His albums, both lp’s and cd’s have a special place in my record album collection.
Here are five video-clips from that remarkable concert at De Lantaarn club in Hellendoorn, the Netherlands on the 16th october, 2010.
