One of them that they are known for was the largest rock festival ever the wood stock festival, on the weekend of august 15th -17th in 1969 in upstate New York. There was an estimated 450,000 people that attended the event according to the rock hall of fame. The festival was scheduled to end with The Jimi Hendrix Experience performance on the 16th but was delayed, fans waited all night for Jimi to take the stage. Finally at 7:30 in morning The Jimi Hendrix Experience takes the stage wowing their fans with an hour of play time. Jimi Hendrix’s version of the “Star Spangled Banner” became the highlight of the festival.
Dave Matthews was adamant grass roots methods of tourism, and his audacity, he was successful and spread his message of self-affirmation anti-racial millions. Many individual successes have been achieved that are the legacy of the Dave Matthews Band. Dave Matthews in collaboration with the local jazz guru John D'earth picked up some exceptional players from the local jazz scene to tape some songs Matthews Band. The "Dave Matthews Band" newly formed frequently played concerts and has become progressively popular in the local celebrations college frat house. From the origin until now the Dave Matthews Band maintains a mental basis, earning their fan base through visits, and using their independent label "Bama Rags" to assist others struggling
Next was Eddie Perfect, who received quite a lot of applause upon entering the stage. He was young, charming and had a very nice rich quality to his voice, as well as a great range. But what specifically reminded me very much of a young Michael Buble was his style. “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Waltz for Debby” and “Ancient Memories” are my favorite out of all the song at that night. Jazz music sound soft and mellow as playing on however like all music, it tells a story and here are the stories of “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Waltz for Debby” and “Ancient Memories”.
A major opportunity is that the area is seemingly going through a renaissance, with many young people moving in and many small businesses opening up. This resurgence of the local economy could potentially be huge for a small team as they could position themselves as partners of the local business community and offer up their facilities for events in the community such as the chamber of commerce. There is also a local college, which presents a huge opportunity to the Nor’easters. College students love cheap things to do, and a $10 ticket to a baseball game (where beer is served, unlike college games) is major motivation for a night out. If the Nor’easters can get a reputation as a fun place for college students to go out for a game, they will have great success.
The style of the concert was smooth jazz which have different elements from R&B, pop, jazz fusion and jazz. I enjoyed the live performance all performers were highly skilled, some of the songs had slow and fast tempo. The brass section were seating in three rolls the position of the front line, first seated was four young men playing saxophone some played tenor sax and alto sax, second roll were five men of four played trombone, and one played tuba. The last roll standing was the trumpet players. Rhythm section comprises of a guitarist, a pianist, a drummer and a music director.
In recent years Oklahoma has begun to take a new approach to the way music is presented by producing more opportunities for live shows and allowing a larger variety of genres. In 2008 Norman Music Festival was born, thus developing one of the first of many new venues and festivals that would eventually spread through the entire state. Norman Music Festival was originally one day but has since grown to spread out over 2 full days and three nights, popularity has generated an increasing number of attendees each year. News Ok did a review of the festival and had this to say, “Main stage act Horse Thief entertained a crowd of at least 250 patrons. The band’s pastoral pop performance was breezy, beautiful and only a taste of what the festival had to offer.” The most recent addition to the Oklahoma music scene was Mystic Sanctuary, a two day EDM (Electronic Dance Music) rave where 25,000 people from across Oklahoma and neighboring states came to join in the festivities.
His jazz – rock fusion completely changed the image of rock. His unique sound led the way for psychedelic rock, which was played throughout the wood stock music festival. The way he uses different rhythms and pitches in his songs makes his sound so unique. When I heard his outdoor performance I was amazed at his influential swagger on the stage. Hendrix’s voice and guitar unite together to reel in his fans with his intense playing.
I really love listening to Boney James he’s a favorite of mine. When he plays his saxophone my body and mind goes into an instant relaxation. His music is like candy to my ears, it sound so sweet. Boney James came off the stage into the crowd and everyone is on their feet standing, shouting, and whistling trying to crowd him but he’s surrounded by
With a predominantly African American cast, infused with other ethnicities, “Down Around Brown Town” demonstrates how Mr. James Brown’s music helped lift up the black community. At the same time, his music provided a bridge across the race divide, allowing a shared experience through dance and music. His music has touched generation upon generation with his soulful and entertaining style. It's running thru January 6 but my friend Miriam is seeing it on this
