The inaugural Woodstock Music and Art Fair will be understandably top of mind when Ten Years After returns to the U.S. in August.
The group -- whose lengthy version of "I'm Going Home" was immortalized in triptych screen during the 1970 documentary -- will play a Woodstock Experience show during its nine-date run, which also includes a stop at the Iridium in New York on Aug. 25. The last part of the show recreates TYA's six-song set from Woodstock, with current guitarist Marcus Bonfanti recreating the late Alvin Lee's epic solos.
If I remember right we didn't actually know about until we were on tour at the time. We were doing the Newport Festival on the road and we were with Nina Simone in St. Louie the night before . All along our manager had been saying to Frank Barsalona, our agent, "No, the money's not good enough. We're not gonna do it.
The first time we really got a sense of the enormity was when we flew in by helicopter, 'cause you couldn't get within six miles of the place since everybody had just dumped their cars on the side of the road and you couldn't get through. We'd left St. Louis at six that morning and had not really had that much sleep.
I spent most of my time backstage. We were supposed to go on in the afternoon but because of the storm and one thing or another it wasn't until at night. I spent most of my time backstage -- I was trying to find something to eat. I hadn't eaten since about 7 o'clock that morning on the plane. And trying to get a drink as well but that was impossible 'cause all the power had been knocked out by the storm so there was nothing cooking backstage at all.
