Late Night: 40 Years Ago This Week

By Jeralyn

It's been 40 years since the summer of '69. The year of the Charles Manson and the Sharon Tate/LaBianca Murders.

The summer of Woodstock: Check out The Woodstock Memories Project, a gallery of photos, memories, news articles and more by the Poughkeepsie Journal and Footnote.com. Some previously unreleased performances are here.

A few more favorites below:

• Country Joe and the Fish: The Feel-like-I'm- Fixing to- Die- Rag
• Arlo Guthrie: Coming Into Los Angeles
• The Who: My Generation and Pinball Wizard
• Jimmy Hendrix: Purple Haze

Still looking for a good version of Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" and Jefferson Airplane's "Volunteers."

What were your favorite Woodstock performances? Does anyone else remember the summer of '69? (Bryan Adams here.)

And if you'd rather talk about something else, feel free, this is an open thread.
