Downs unless youve been living in a sealed cave, youve probably noticed that americas latest craze is disco dancin. This is punk rock, and its purpose is to promote violence, sex, and destruction, in that order. Pure rock n roll energy, pure guts, pure stamina. Rock singer jimi hendrix died today in london, according to a police source, from an overdose of drugs. Reynolds janis joplin was found dead last night. The cause of death was said to be an overdose of drugs. Jim morrison, the lead singer for the doors, a rock music group, is dead. He was 27. Naftali The Early Years of the 70s are sad in music because you lose people. And you lose the beatles. Simon this small gathering on savile row is only the beginning. The event is so momentous that historians may one day view it as a landmark in the decline of the british empire. The beatles are breaking up. Heilemann it was like a death for a lot of people. Rock n roll, as we understood it in the 1960s, was no longer with us. There could never be another beatles, never. [ sniffles ] you know, i wonder what im doing here with no drummers and no nothing like that. Well, as you might know, i lost my old band, or i left it. Imagine theres no heaven [ applause ] its easy if you try asher for so long you kind of waited for the next beatles album to see where music was going. And we just hoped that the music they would come up with individually would be that good. You know, i no longer have to, oh the beatles need an album, you and paul better go and Write 20 Songs Tomorrow kind of thing. I just write when i feel like it. Imagine all the people cavett you know, yoko, youve even been called The Dragon Lady who brought the beatles apart or took them all apart. I have trouble with english, so. Could we please give her the credit for all the nice music that george made and ringo made and paul made and ive made since they broke up. [ applause ] if she did it hanks the fact is, yoko ono did not break up the beatles. Time broke up the beatles, money broke up the beatles, business broke up the beatles, the desire to go off and do their own stuff broke up the beatles. Man hes a fleshier, heavier beatle these days, respectably married. And when the kids come to his concerts, they dont scream any more, they listen. The significant thing is that both john lennon and Paul Mccartney made music in their own particular ways that was focused on the fact that they were deeply in love with a woman. But im not the only one mccartney went home, made that record where he plays all of the instruments on his own, this kind of cozy domesticity. Beautiful, wonderful, warm music. Its gonna look roughly like this. This is our First Showing of it. So this is just the mockup, folks. Man the new album with atlantic and its gonna be called ringos rotogravure. I sell records, and it doesnt matter if ive been in the beatles or not, if they dont like the record out there, they wont buy it, you know . Ringo, who, to this day, people dismiss way too much, has tremendous success in the 70s. And George Harrison, who had been stockpiling these amazing songs, explodes like a supernova on an album called all things must pass, maybe The Greatest Beatles Solo Album of all. You dont need no passport and you dont need no visa over the years, you know, i had such a lot of songs mounting up that i really wanted to do, but i only got my quota of one or two tunes per album. Were you held down by the other fellas . Uh. Well, very subtly, yes. By chanting the name of the lord and youll be free the lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see id just like to thank you all for coming here. As you all know, its a special Benefit Concert. The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see connelly ravi shankar went to George Harrison and said, this terrible thing is happening in bangladesh, what can we do . And that created the first major superstar Benefit Concert ever done. Hanks The Concert For Bangladesh was the granddaddy of all issuethemed concerts. And not only did you get George Harrison, man, you got eric clapton. Connelly it got dylan out of hiding. It put two beatles back on the stage again. It was unparalleled at the time and it may still be unparalleled. [ cheers and applause ] a great deal of music of the 70s was people who had succeeded in the 60s finding new ways to express themselves in the 70s. Man have you got any idea why your group particularly has lasted as long as it has . Because we stay together, i suppose. Wolcott you know, for a few years, the Rolling Stones had taken a lot of casualties. Richards even brian felt that he wasnt gonna be around that long. Not everybody makes it, you know . Wolcott they were fighting for like, where do we secure our foothold now . Babe, you think im crazy but theyre always tryin to waste me make me burn n the candle right down questlove in 1971, the Rolling Stones leave their home, for tax purposes, to go live in france and record this record Exile On Main Street in a very hot, uncomfortable, muddysounding studio. Baby, baby you got to roll me they call me the Tumblin Dice Wild that record is the embodiment of a band making masterpieces on a daily basis. And i remember reading a Review Saying that this was like a debauched album. I was like, i dont even know what debauched means, but i got to get some of this debauchery stuff. Baby, i cant stay they call me the tumblin dice they call me the tumblin wilson having come out of the 60s, which was its own animal, the 70s had to show a new skin. It had to shed the old one. Ooh, yeah i was never very confident of my voice, you see, as a singer. So i thought, rather than just sing them, which would probably bore the pants off of everybody, id like to kind of portray the songs. Then i turned myself to face me but i never caught a glimpse wild david bowie has always been a game changer. He really has taken the promise of rock that the beatles kicked off, and hes taking it all sorts of interesting places for others to follow. Chchchchchanges turn and face the strange chchchanges pretty soon, now, youre gonna get older time may change me but i cant trace time i said that time may change me but i cant trace time its ihops 65th Anniversary and kids eat free from 410pm.

This year i took some time off from touring and went off on some adventures of my own, and this is kind of a letter back home. Mm, california oh, california im coming home oh, make me feel good, rock n roll band im your biggest fan california, im coming home de passe you look to the horizon that you want to move toward, and that horizon was here in l. A. Fleetwood thats where the Record Companies were, and theres lots of sun. [ chuckles ] the way i got to california is just really simple. I got there in a 57 chevy by skipping my finals that year in college. Wild virtually no one was from southern california. Theyre all drawn to the light, and the light is the Troubadour Club. John things happened gradually until we played the Troubadour Club in los angeles, which holds 250 people. It just happened on the first night. Every great songwriter i can think of came through the troubadour. Jackson browne, j. D. , henley, and frey. Linda ronstadt, kristofferson, joni mitchell, james taylor. The Big Sea Change was people writing their own songs and expressing themselves. Is it difficult to reveal yourself constantly to so many people . Why do you have to do this . I feel an obligation to myself and to people to try and share myself, maybe as honestly as i can. I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out well, i hit the rowdy road and many kinds i met there many stories told me of the way to get there ooh, ooh so on and on i go the seconds tick the time out theres so much left to know and im on the road to find out everyone is just trying to do whatever came into their head. In the early days, paul and i, we wanted to be the goffin and king of england, you know . Goffin and king were very big those days. We had no idea who these people were, who the mysterious mr. King was whod written all these songs you know, chains that the beatles did, and im into something good, which was part of the british invasion. We did discover that it was this remarkable woman, carole king. Carole king made the transition from basically being behindthescenes woman to a star in her own right. I feel the earth move under my feet i feel the Sky Tumblin Down i feel my heart start to tremblin whenever youre around wild carole king is the embodiment of what happens because, in the 60s, she is trying to write hit songs for other people. And then in the 70s, with tapestry, its the definition of an album of selfexpression let me go into my house in Laurel Canyon and tell you about my life. After church, you always went out for pancakes. If you were lucky enough to ride in one of the girls cars, you know what youre listening to . Tapestry. [ applause ] asher there were a lot of very important women who were some of the most significant writers and contributors to music at the time. Were gonna do a song thats written by my friend john david souther who is my favorite california songwriter and one of my favorite singers. Its called faithless love. She was, in many ways, my greatest collaborator. I mean, i became a professional songwriter because the best voice of my generation was doing my songs. Faithless love like a river flows raindrops falling on a Broken Rose Asher for my money linda is still underrated just for sheer singing power and style and emotion. And the night blows in like a cold, Dark Wind Faithless love like a river flows there have been a lot of articles and things that identify me with the l. A. Sound, me and Jackson Browne and the eagles. We need some new blood in this town, you know . Were starting to get stale. Nicks this is a song about a welsh witch. She rings like a bell through the night and wouldnt you love to love her the original Fleetwood Mac was a fourpiece fullon blues band. Asher they were an english band that became a dualcitizenship band. They were as american as they were british. All your life youve never known a woman taken by the wind we had had an album out about two years previous to joining Fleetwood Mac called Buckingham Nicks and mick really liked the music and they asked us to join. Rhiannon fleetwood Fleetwood Mac, first stevie and lindsey album, for sure changed our lives. We had arrived. Got a fever fever man describe being rich and famous in california. This is it, kid. Got a fever fever fever yeah yeah taken by the wind by the Sky Fleetwood hit records sometimes bore an audience, oh, well, theyre not gonna have another hit. Or, this one isnt as good as that. Record Companies Start frothing at the mouth, and the imaging of the band was becoming a whole thing. So we were getting ready to make rumours with everyone falling apart. Lovin you isnt the right thing to do how can i ever change things that i feel mcvie the structure of the band is five people, five very independent, quite strongminded, quite stubborn individuals. If i could, baby, id give you My World Fleetwood two lovely couples. John and chris married. Their marriage was on the rocks. And stevie and lindsey might as well have been married. That all was falling apart. You can go your own way go your own way you can call it another lonely day we were testifying, and rumours became the church.

The jackson five. Thats us. Thats us. Thats us. Thats u. And thats no jive. Questlove the jacksons were the last act from the classic motown hitsville system. Robinson motown was a very unique place because a lot of Record Companies were being run by businessmen. We had a music man at the helm. Berry gordy was a songwriter. He said, were gonna make music for the world. Ironically, here he was trying his best to make black music that would cross over to the white world. He ended up making the greatest black music ever. George He Created A Machine Wherein you take the artist and polish him up and make them a great package that they can play the Ed Sullivan Show and kill. Back in the 60s, marvin gaye wanted to be frank sinatra. Questlove he was svelte, cleanshaven, debonair. And all of that changed in the 70s. George marvin wanted to compete on a high level. Why cant i make a record like the beatles . Im selling records like they sell. Why cant i have that artistic expression . Picket signs dont punish me with brutality talk to me, honey, so you can see oh, whats goin on whats goin on hey, whats goin on tell me whats goin on ooh graham marvin gaye was very much affected by the vietnam war. His brother was in vietnam, so hes hearing all these stories about whats going on over there. Hes seeing the protest here, and its changing him. He holds up a mirror to america. Look at yourselves, america. Graham hes talking about the war, hes talking about poverty, changing him as an artist in a way that berry gordy is not super happy about. Mother, mother everybody thinks were wrong they do initially berry gordy did not want marvin to do whats goin on. Questlove motown was supposed to be nonthreatening. Here you now have Marvin Gaye Making A Protest
