I just heard a Clear Light song on another radio station. I understand their drummer worked on the "Deja Vu" album.

Clear Light also featuring future actor Cliff De Young
Avatar 🥁 3:25pm

Though interestingly, said actor does not appear with the rest of the group in "The President's Analyst" (Barry McGuire appears in his place). I guess he hadn't joined yet.

Guessing the CSN&Y cover owed something to the Band's second album.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:45pm
Funky16Corners:

There was certainly a lot of that going around at the time
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:46pm
Funky16Corners:

Though the old-timey cowboy look goes back to the very first San Francisco psychedelic bands like the Charlatans
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:46pm

And to actual old timey cowboys, of course

This Fareed Haque album was itself a complete cover of Deja Vu (the album). It was part of a short lived Blue Note series of whole cover albums
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:50pm
Funky16Corners:

The others were Everett Harp covering 'What's Going On' and Charlie Hunter covering a Bob Marley and the Wailers album (I can't remember which one)

I haven't been able to find any info on Stilroc, but their singer was clearly a big James Gang fan

Another memorable "asshole at a rock festival" interrupts Joni Mitchell's performance in "Message to Love: The Isle of Wight Festival" (a 1996 documentary about the 1970 concert).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:16pm

Yeah, she gets really unnerved by that. That fest was a shitshow

The same. Most of Hookfoot played as Elton John's band on his early albums
Avatar 🥁 4:20pm

Nothing that Isle of Wight maniac said made any sense, and he looked rather old to be a "hippie"!

Hookfoot = John Kongos album too , methinks...

I'm not 100% sure, but most rock festivals after Monterey Pop were just an awful attempt to stuff 10 pounds of shit into a five pound bag, bad attempts to cash in by bad businessmen

Brian in UK:

I read Graham Nash's book a while back and he was tired of Hollies singing about girls & bus stops. When the three of them first harmonised must have been a great moment. Being SO popular was not necessarily the best thing for them as a unit in the long run.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:41pm

Must have been hard to make choices with some of these. This has been great.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:42pm

@drowsy - Thanks, and true. So many great versions to choose from
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:42pm

@Brian - I think that CSNY was a collision of egos that was ultimately unsustainable

The Angry Samoans covered Ming Tea's "BBC" both times I saw them play the Jersey Shore in recent years, But I don't think they put that out on record either!

It's not on the Austin Powers soundtrack?
