Canned Heat. They played at Woodstock in 1969. That was when The Blind Owl (Alan Wilson) was with them. By the time I saw them in 1972 at Clemson, Alan had died. The Bear (Bob Hite) was still with them. They did an impromptu show at Clemson along with Mountain. There was one problem though. Canned Heat came in two vans, and one of the vans got lost on the Blue Ridge Parkway, so only half of the band showed up. Bob Hite was there, along with their drummer and a guitarist. It really didn't matter. There was enough Boone's Farm Wine circulating through the crowd. Mountain was good, too. Leslie West and company played very loud. They had been at Woodstock, too. As some know about me, my hippie name was The Woodstock Kid. We had a fine, old time that night.
