On Wednesday It’s the Sounds of Woodstock ’69, and the Full Performances of Tim Hardin & Jimi Hendrix, May 7, 2025

We’re at Midweek and ‘Festival Week’ is back! Today it’s the sound of the only real Woodstock, the big kahuna of festivals. Then it’s the full performances of folk legend Tim Hardin and rock legend Jimi Hendrix at that festival.

Here’s your midweek lineup:

9:00 a.m. Woodstock ’69 Festival, Max Yasgur’s Dairy Farm, Bethel, NY, August 15-18, 1969

Three days of peace, love and music along with plenty of drugs, mud and rain. To this day, it remains the big kahuna of festivals, the stuff of legends and it stands the test of time. This is, of cours, just a smattering of what went on there, but we are working on the full magilla. There are files available that reconstruct the entire experience the way it was presented (in 38 full discs) and we are in the process of putting that all together for an airing in the future. In the meantime, we give you over four hours here today.

4:00 p.m. Tim Hardin Live at Woodstock ’69, Max Yasgur’s Farm, Bethel, NY, August 15, 1969

This afternoon we give you folk legend Tim Hardin’s full Woodstock ’69 performance, a man who succumbed to his heroin addiction and left us far too soon. We celebrate his music today.

8:00 p.m. Jimi Hendrix Live at Woodstock ’69, Max Yasgur’s Farm, Bethel, NY, August 18, 1969

Hendrix’s set at Woodstock was on the final day and ran for nearly two hours, one of the longest performances of his storied career. We close the festivities with that performance today.

The biggest and the best here today. We’re on 24/7 and we’re totally free. It goes without saying that we give you our big, wide Open Stream before, in between, and after all this great Woodstock stuff. The button is below.

8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of J. J. Cale

One of the best right here. A pioneer of the “Tulsa Sound” which blended blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz. His bluesy guitar, whispery vocals, and shuffling beat defined the genre. He also wrote some of the best: Cocaine, After Midnight, The Old Man and Me, 13 Days, and Crazy Mama are among his compositions.

Friday Brings a New ‘Great Beginnings’ EP, Live Allman Brothers and a New Dave Clark Five ‘Spotlight’, March 28, 2025

Good morning, music lovers and welcome to the cusp of the weekend once again. We’ve got not one, but two, new pieces of programming today! Read on for details!

Here’s your Friday musical lineup:

9:00 a.m. Great Beginnings: Various Artists NEW!

From a playlist to the big kahuna. We’ve expanded our library of songs with great openings to a full-blown EP featuring The Beatles, Elton John, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, the J. Geils Band, Aretha Franklin, Yes, Chicago, The Who, Johnny Rivers, Electric Light Orchestra, The Kinks, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, The Temptations, The Allman Brothers Band, CSNY, Bonnie Raitt, ZZ Top, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Badfinger, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steely Dan, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Paul Simon, The Chambers Brothers and more!

4:00 p.m. The Allman Brothers Band Live at Woodstock ’94, Winston Farm, Saugerties, NY, August 14, 1994

Nope. It was decidedly not anything like Woodstock ’69, but The Allman Brothers Band, as always, gave a great performance.

8:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Dave Clark Five NEW!

Another great British Invasion band gets its due. Tom Petty used to say that it should be called The Mike Smith Five because he was their great lead vocalist. (Dave Clark was the drummer, of course.) It’s kind of parallel to the J. Geils Band here in the U.S. with the great Peter Wolf on vocals and J. Geils on guitar. But I digress. The Dave Clark Five was the second British Invasion band to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show. The first, of course, was The Beatles.

We’re here. We’re rarin’ to go. And we’re on 24/7 for your listening pleasure. We never charge you to listen to our music, and we never indulge in commercial interruptions because we’re not in it for the money. So, enjoy. The button is below.
