“Jimi Hendrix…gave a once in a life time performance that separated himself from everyone else. His guitar solo based on the “star spangled banner” could be the most memorable musical event of the festival, as well as being one of the most popular guitar solos in rock history.”(Remember a day: Woodstock) He basically took the national anthem and made it so everyone could hear the bombs being dropped in Vietnam and people screaming for their lives. It showed how our country really isn’t as great as we make it seem. Within all this music being played it wasn’t just a free concert, it was a festival of love and art but people still had to eat. “Woodstock included a self-contained market, in which fans sold food, art work, jewelry and clothing to one another.” (Woodstock) They basically shared each other’s self made culture.
Barriers were broken, people were brought together and prejudices were forgotten at this event that would soon be talked about worldwide as that music festival that changed the world for the better. Woodstock was put together by 4 men: Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld, Mike Lang, and John Roberts in order to raise enough money to build a recording studio. The men had a venue, musicians, food and security and were selling tickets for $7 for one day, $13 for two days, and $18 for three days. The original
Although Dave Matthews led an incredibly spirited and musical life history with four platinum albums, an independent gold album and several successful tours, it is still rather low. It does not rejoice like many other successful artists, and most of its new book, especially his live albums, has not been announced at all, but rely on word of mouth from its incredibly large fan-basis. Dave Matthews probably wants to be recalled by his fans for the remarkable musician, he is and for the remarkable group of people he worked with. If this occurs at death must be composed, it would probably be a list of all of a Matthews achievements lot about animation, its diverse cultural settings, and most memorable, whose unique style Matthews played and talked. His singular style of play brought joy to millions, and has likewise led to the spread of cultural acceptance mentality that is present in his songs.
Two years later, while playing onstage at a small regional show, he caught the ear of bandleader Ben Pollack and was given a spot in Pollack’s band. Goodman made his first recordings with the band in Chicago in 1926, but began his band leader career in 1928 when he produced his first recordings as the lead of Pollack’s ensemble (Vitale, 2009). When major musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Jimmy Dorsey joined the emigration of artists away from Chicago to New York, Goodman followed (Stockdale, 1995). In New York, Goodman’s career soared. He put together his first band in 1934 and was given a spot at Billy Rose’s new theater restaurant The Music Hall (Stockdale, 1995).
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.
The smell of the water and the warmth that touched my skin, when the sun peeked through the clouds, took me back in time to the campground. I could see it so clearly in my mind, I felt like I was there. I sat still, just enjoying the moment. Visiting Halifax was a whole new experience. One second I felt like I went back in time to the 50’s, and the next second I felt like I was back 10 years, camping with my family.
A Day of Jazz in the park Observation Essay 7/23/13 Over the weekend I went to the 18 annual Jazz Fest West concert at Bonelli Park in San Dimas. We parked our cars at the Pomona Fairplex and transported by charter buses to the venue. When we arrived at the park the whole east shore side of the park was gated off for the venue. We traded our paper tickets for wristbands to get in the park. I’m excited about the concert because this will be my first time seeing Fantasia in concert live.

“All of a sudden the things that the old line law firms didn’t want to do-hostile takeovers and litigations- were the things that every firm wanted to do” (Gladwell 128). In Schuldiners case, he played music many didn’t want to hear; most of his time was spent playing in small gigs or even his garage with a limited audience being able to listen, but soon enough, the same bands who had criticized Chuck soon started to play his brand of metal. All of a sudden, just like the Jewish law firms, Schuldiner had started to find fame and
At one time you would see families all together on the weekend, neighbors having a community picnic, and nobody was concerned with who would split the bill. Today, we are truly corporate America, and everything is about the bottom line. Many of the services we have now came about from helping others, now we charge for them. Not often does someone come home with a new item and say look what we got today, now we almost always
