Its probably the most important cultural event in the history of america. And a whole new generation of freaks. What guys seem to get off on. They like these highenergy sort of events. Sight and sound and soul are your pleasure, you can bet your Bottom Dollar we got them, baby. Unless youve been living in a sealed cave, you probably noticed that americas latest craze is disco dancing. This is punk rock, and its purpose is to promote violence, sex and destruction in that order. Rock and roll is pure stamina rock singer jimi hendrix died today in london from an overdose of drugs. Janice 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. The early years of the 70s in music was sad because you lose people and you lose the beatles. This small gathering 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. It was like a death for a lot of people. Rock and roll as we understood in the 1960s was no longer with us. There will never be another beatles, never. I wonder what im doing here with no drummers or nothing like that. You might know i lost my old band, or i left it. Imagine theres no heaven its easy if you try for so long you waited for the next beatles album to see where music was going. And we just hoped the music they came up with individually would be that good. I dont no longer have, oh, the beatles need an album. You and paul better go write 20 songs tomorrow kind of thing. I just write when i feel like it. Imagine all the people yoko, you have been called the dragon lady who took the beatles apart. Please give her credit for all the nice music that george made and ringo made and paul made and ive made since we broke up. She did it. The fact is that 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. Hes a fleshier and heavier beatle these days, respectfully married. When the kids come to his concerts, they dont scream any more, they listen. The significant thing is both john lennon and Paul Mccartney made music in their own particular ways that was focused on the fact they were deeply in love with a woman. But im not the only one mccartney went home and made the record where he plays all the instruments on his own. This kind of cozy domesticity, beautiful, wonderful, warm music. Its going to look roughly like this. This is our First Showing of it. This is just the mockup, folks. The new album. Its going to be called ringos reviewer. I sell records. It doesnt matter if theyve got the beatles or not. If they dont like the record they wont buy it. 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 you dont need no visas over the years i had such a lot of stockpile of songs i wanted to do. But i only got a quota of one or two tunes per album. Were you held down by the other fellows . Well very subtly, yes. I would just like to thank you all for coming here. As you all know, its a special Benefit Concert. Ravi shankhar went to George Harrison and said a terrible thing is happening in bangladesh what can we do . That created the first major superstar Benefit Concert ever done. The concert for bangladesh was the grandaddy of all issuethemed concerts. Not only did you get George Harrison, you got eric clapton. It got dylan out of hiding. It put two beatles on the stage again. It was unparalleled at the time and may still be unparalleled. 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. Have you any idea why your group particularly has lasted as long as it had . Because we Stay Together i suppose. For a few years, the Rolling Stones had taken a lot of casualties. Even brian felt he wasnt going to be around that long. Not everybody makes it. They were fighting for like where do we secure our foothold now . 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, muddy sounding studio. Baby, i cant stay yu got to roll me and call me the Tumbling Dice that record is the embodiment of a band making masterpieces on a daily basis. And i remember reading the review saying this is like a debauched album. I didnt know what debauched means but i got to get me some of this debauchery stuff. Baby, i cant stay you got to roll me and call me the tumbling roll me and call me the Tumbling Dice 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 as a singer. I thought rather than just sing, which would probably bore the pants off everybody, i would like to kind of portray the songs. David bowie has always been a gamechanger. He has taken the promise of rock that the beatles kicked off and taken it all sorts of interesting places for others to follow. Changes, changes changes time to face the change pretty soon now youre going to get older time may change me but i cant trace time i said that time may change me i cant trace time i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. Those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. Uhhhh. Here, ill take that. [woo hoo ] ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein, one gram of sugar and nutrients for immune health.

Aveeno® this year i took some time off from touring and went off on some adventures of my own. And this is kind of a a letter back home. Ooh, california, oh, california, im coming home oh, make me feel good Rock N Roll Band im your biggest fan california, im coming home you look to the horizon that you want to move toward. And that horizon was here in l. A. Thats where the Record Companies were. And theres lots of sun. The way i got to california was just really simple. I got there in a 57 chevy by skipping my finals that year in college. Virtually nobody was from southern california. Theyre all drawn to the light. And the light is the Troubadour Club. Things happened gradually until we played the Troubadour Club in los angeles. It holds 250 people. Happened on the first night. Every great songwriter, came through the troubadour, jackson brown, j. D. , henley and frey, linda ronstadt, joni mitchell, james taylor. The Big Sea Change was people writing their own songs and expressing themselves. Is it difficult to reveal it constantly to so many people . Why do you 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 all the ways to get there ooh so on and on i go the seconds tick the time out theres so much left to know while im on the road to find out everyone was just trying to do whatever came into their head. In the early days paul and i we wanted to be the king of england from england. They were very big those days. We had no idea who the people were, the mysterious mr. King was. Who had written all these songs, chains the beatles did, im into something good, which is part of the british invasion. We did discover this remarkable woman, carole king. Carole king made the transition from being behindthescenes woman to a star in her own right. I feel the earth move under my feet, i feel the sky tumbling down i feel my heart start to tremble whenever youre around carole king is the embodiment of what happens. Because in the 60s she is trying to write hit songs for other people. 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 you are listening to . Tapestry. There were a lot of very important women who were some of the most significant writers and contributors to music at the time. We are going to do a song written by my friend, john david sausser, 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 became a professional song writer because of the best voice of my generation was doing my songs. Faithless love like a river flows raindrops falling on a broken rose 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 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. Were starting to get stale. She rings like a bell through the night but you love to love her the original Fleetwood Mac was a fourpiece fullon blues band. They were an english band that became a dual citizenship band. They were as american as they were british. Ever know taken by the wind we had an album out, two years to joining Fleetwood Mac years previous called buckingham nicks. Nick really liked the music. They asked us to join. Fleetwood mac, first, stevie and lindsey album for sure changed our lives. We had arrived. Freedom describe being Rich And Famous in california. This is it, kid. Freedom Freedom Forever ever hit records sometimes bore an audience. Theyre not going to have another hit. Or this one isnt as good as that. Record companies, like frothing at the mouth, the imaging of the band was becoming a whole thing. So we were getting ready to make rumors, with everyone falling apart. If loving you isnt the right to do how can i ever change things that i feel the band is five people, five very independent, quite strong minded, quite stubborn individuals. If i could, baby, id give you my world 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 rumors became the church.

When i had you to myself i didnt want you around those pretty faces always seem to stand out in a crowd how long you been singing . Three years. See you went to grab it right away. Snatch it right out of my hand. Michael was precocious. He knew he was cute. You would watch him go from that to commanding a stage in front of 15,000 people. Amazing. Ooh, baby give Me One More Chance show you that i love you one, wont you please let me back to you heart oh, darling i was trying to let you go not since i dont need you anymore the only American Group to have fourconsecutive number one records. Oh, oh, oh i want you back for the first time young black kids had their beatles. Hey, man. What has five handses . Ten legs. And 11 alphabet letters. You dont know . The jackson five. Thats us. And thats no jive. The jacksons were the last act from the classic motown hitsville system. Motown was a very unique place. A lot of Record Companies were being run by businessmen. Berry gordy was a music man at the helm. Berry gordy was a songwriter. He said im going to make music for the world. Ironically, here he was trying his best to make black music that would cross over to the white world. Ended up making the greatest black music ever. He created a machine, where you take the artist, polish them up. And make them a great package, they can play the Ed Sullivan Show and kill. Back in the 60s, marvin gaye wanted to be frank sinatra. He was svelte, cleanshaven, debonair and all that changed in the 70s. Marvin wanted to compete at 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 . Punish me with brutality talk to me when you can see whats going on whats going on yeah, whats going on tell me whats going on ooh marvin gaye was affected by the vietnam war. His brother was in vietnam. So hes hearing all these stories about what is going on over there. Hes seeing the protests here and its changing him. He holds up a mirror to america, look at yourself, america. He is talking about the war, hes talking about poverty. Changing 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 not want marvin to do whats going on. Motown was supposed to be nonthreatening and you have Marvin Gaye Making A Protest record about the war. That could potentially ruin good money. You dont lightly talk about the government. Yes, i want to know whats going on right now ultimately when he agrees to put out whats going on, berry tells marvin, okay, if youre right, ill learn something. And if im right, youll learn something. And of course, as barry will say, i learned something. Every artist at motown was suddenly also wanting to try their chance at freedom. When people say soul, they put you in one category. They say, he is a soul artist. Thats all they expect for you to sing. Thats all they want you to sing. Thats not true. Soul is being able to express yourself. Stevie wonder went to berry gordy and he negotiated his creative freedom and he used every bit of it. Very superstitious Writings On The WallStevie Wonder making some of the greatest records anyone has ever made in popular music in america, back to back to back. Letters about to fall its the equivalent of shooting a perfect shot from half court with your eyes closed. Music in my mind. He made it. He aint going to do it again. Talking book. Oh, my god he did it and then suddenly, songs in the key of life. When you believe in things you dont understand and you suffer superstition is the way what the beatles did in the 60s i feel Stevie Wonder was the person to do that for music in the 70s. [ cheers and applause ] hi, there. Welcome aboard. You are right on time for a beautiful trip on the soul train. If the Sight And Sound of soul is your pleasure, you bet your bottom, we got them, baby. Soul train finally offered america its first view of afrocentricity. It was a new idea to say black is beautiful. I would run home from church to get home to see soul train. It was the one reliable place to see the artists you loved. Theres no question that soul train broke a lot of artists and introduced a lot of artists to audiences they never performed for before. Shes a Dynamite Attraction ten years before he did the moonwalk, Michael Jackson debuted the robot in 1973 on soul train. People had done the robot before. But there was a way that it was faster. It was sharper. And it was street. I could just see his Afro Bouncing and there was so much precision to it. Dancing, dancing, dancing shes a Dancing Machine oh, baby to help actively repair acidweakened enamel. I recommend pronamel repair to my patients.
