JA on Woodstock Diaries

[Rüdi]

OK,
I see what you mean.
First the spoken words of Grace, than a few seconds of "Other side"
and than
- Saturday on the woodstock directors cut
- Somebody to love on the Woodstock diaries.
D´acord.

But now:
The few seconds of "Other side" are great. Where do I found this version complete?

[psychhead]

Other side isn't on a Woodstock DVD, i think...

You can find it on Gimme Shelter,
The Airplane did start it... after some minutes
some Hells Angels start to fight. Marty Balin jumps
into the crowd he gets knocked out for helping
somebody against The Angels.........

Altamont... The Beginning Of The End...
The End Of Something Beautiful... The 60s...

I think you're right there.

According to Craing there is no full recording of "The Other Side Of This Life", which is the song in question.

But from JA the first song after Grace announced "morning maniac music" I think was "Volunteers"?

All that stuff from Grace and "Volunteers" is how it's heard on the original Woodstock album(s). But they all ocurred at different times and was all cut and spliced together.

As Dave correctly quotes from Craig's book, the Airplane's opening song was actually "The Other Side of This Life," not Volunteers.

The (primarily) solo bass intro (off of the notes G and F) was the common way to open the song at that time and yes it is similar to the version at Altamont.

DO NOT FORGET that the great MARTIN SCORSESE ("MEAN STREETS"... "TAXI DRIVER"... "RAGING BULL"... "GOODFELLAS"... "CASINO"... "GANGS OF NEW YORK"... + a BUNCH of other GREAT films {i.e. "THE LAST WALTZ"})...

.. He WAS one of the camera-guys at the WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL!!!

Has anyone heard Eskimo Blue Day at Woodstock I have heard that it is the best version of the song, and have been on a quest to find it for a long time. Does anyone know where I can get that song?

[miketouhy]

I saw the moive one when it aired on MTV in 1989 durring its 20th aniversary and didn't see any JA footage along with not seeing various of others artists who were there.

I know CCR for whatever reasons wouldn't give their consent to use their footage for the film or fro the alBum so what's the story on JA?

I've heard it and I think it's the best version.

I found it on Lime Wire back in 2003-2004 ...I'm not sure if I still have the cd I put it on though : (

No CCR footage, or performances by Grateful Dead, or Janis Joplin or MANY other groups from Woodstock exists anywhere that I know of, and JA was NOT in the original theatrical movie either.

BUTT a few years ago, a "Director's Cut" was issued that does contain one or two JA songs... Pretty cool stuff...


GRACE: "OK... You have heard all the heavy groups, now it is time for Morning Maniac Music"...

Then they proceeded to rip some ear-drums and eye-balls...

... Especially if you can imagine that they played at sunrise Saturday a.m. after still tripping from Friday night...

Beautiful.

Janis is on the directors cut as well, and there is footage of the Dead's show out there on the various file-sharing sites. I've got about 20 minutes worth of the Dead. It's poor quality because the lights were out while they were playing. Songs include Mama Tried, St. Stephen, and Love Light.
