He also switched some of the lyrics around, or added a few more notes. So, whenever Bob Dylan would perform a song of his for his audience, the song would never be the same. This gave his fans a little more curiosity for his music and caught a couple more peoples attention. Knowing that you will not listen to the same song everyday, people were more attracted to his music. He always knew how to spice up his concerts and public appearances.

They deliver a powerful group of soulful, melodic tunes that will leave you with a contagious sense of optimism for the future and welcomed reminiscence for American rock ‘n’ roll.
I never knew that so many bands were formed during this era and that each one had very talented musicians from all walks of life. I enjoyed reading about Lester Young whose father was a minstrel-show musician. Lester Young played with Walter Page’s “Blue Devils” and “The Bennie Moten-George Lee Band”. Some of Young’s idols growing up were Frankie Trumbauer and Bix Beiderbecke. Lester Young joined the Fletcher Henderson orchestra to replace Coleman Hawkins but didn’t stay very long due to his lack of loud, resonant, and vibrato-laden tone that Hawkins displayed as referred to on (p.265).
First, he joined semi-professional bands such as “The Castiles” and “Steel Mill,” but he wanted to start his own band and write his own songs. That’s where the “E-Street Band” came into the rock scene. Bruce started up this band which consisted of his friends, and he made it his own. In 1972, Bruce signed with Columbia Records, which started his career (Marzi). This is the same record company that recorded ultimately one of the best ever rock records, “Greatest Hits.” On February, 27th 1995, Springsteen introduced his first ever compilation album called his “Greatest Hits.” This record is a collection of Springsteen's greatest hits through the years and four extra tracks at the end
It is a way to send a message to millions around the world and have each recipient interpret it uniquely. All music seems to relate to a feeling or chord within one's own person. Personally going to a concert and seeing a new band or performer helps me get an idea of who they are and just a single performance can change my whole perspective on someone. Can one simply change an audience’s perspective on issues through a single song? My initial Jimi Hendrix quote exemplifies exactly what he set

2 February 2012 Woodstock Woodstock was the largest music and art festival ever recorded in history. Over a half a million people from all around the country organized on a small dairy farm in New York to support their favorite artists and stand against the mainstream. These three days changed the lives of the concert goers and society forever. Woodstock was an outlet for counter culture, a group whose ideals rivaled those of the mainstream. Woodstock was the most influential music festival of its time; it was three days of peace and music that represented the counter culture as it stood against the mainstream and its political views.
The Who has sold over one hundred million records (Rolling Stone Magazine). While seen as the weakest link of the big three in the British Invasion, the hard edge guitar, wild shows, and extraordinarily loud sound, gave birth to a whole new group of music, called heavy metal. In the end, the British Invasion is indelibly tied to a time and a place. In reality, though, the British invasion has never stopped. Artists from the British Isles continue to invade the American audience at a rapid
Suddenly, in a blare of drums and guitars the stage became the center of attention as Uncle Kracker took the stage. Running through a set list of his most popular songs, the audience parroted back the lyrics as he moved around the stage in an obvious show of his years of experience as a performer. I am not a fan of Uncle Kracker’s music and his performance did not change my opinion. Uncle Kracker and
