I was there watching just as the sun was rising over the back of the stage behind the steel towers Paul Butterfield’s Blues Band marched on stage, the electric guitar crying, a harmonica wailing, horns blasting. They played some of the best blue I have ever heard. They finished at around 8:30 Monday morning. I was suppose to be at work at my summer job, but I had other plans..
I've always loved Paul Butterfield Blues Band because they were so blues-y. One of the best blues bands ever! This band should have been in the Woodstock movie.
I wasn't quite 9 during Woodstock. I have two brothers 8 & 9 years older then me so I heard a lot of this kind. I became a big fan of David Sanborn 10 years after this around '79/80. His sax sound is so unique I could pick it out of a line up. I'm amazed at his chops on this video when he was only 24 & sounding like a sax master twice his age. You could tell he was something special even then & looks like he's the break out star of this group going strong, putting out great music to this day.
I missed Woodstock (my brother went) but I was at the Atlantic Pop Festival 1969 and saw Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Amazing! On August 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 1969 an estimated 100,000 people attended the Atlantic City Pop Festival at the race course. The overwhelming turn out was an unexpected and controversial state of affairs, as local government agencies and police departments strained to respond to the harbinger of the Woodstock Festival in upstate New York just a few weeks later. Roads approaching the race course were clogged with young people who spontaneously arrived to attend, forming an ad-hoc hippy hollow in the surrounding forest areas in the vicinity.
Absolutely sensational. In My Own Dream has long been one of my favourite records of all time and tonight is the first time I've seen the BBBand of that era. Buzzy Feiten eh? Sensational musical control for a kid who looks as young as he did. Thank you.
Soulful man. RIP Paul B--one of the greatest harp players/singers of our (geezer) generation (the Who?). Paul B and his band are responsible for introducing the Blues to whit America--along with a few other bands--Blues Project et al. Thanks for posing this cool vid.
Paul Butterfield, Michael Bloomfield, Nick Gravenites: Three white guys who brought Chicago-style blues to a huge white audience. Glad they did! Janis knew all of these guys really well and loved their music. This is why. They were friends in those heady times. Nothing like this today ... not even close. Thanks for posting. Peace.
Look up the Joplin CD 'Farewell Song' and a track called 'One Night Stand'. Has her on vocals with the Butterfield Blues Band backing her. Very up tempo, classic track.
@dannyman60001 thamks to paul i picked up the harp at age 16 and i am still playing it 42 years later, always do a couple of butterfield tunes when i perform at jam sessions, and hope to put a band together in near future that loves the blues as much as i do
Paul Butterfield - harmonica and vocals, Howard "Buzzy" Feiten - guitar, Rod Hicks - bass, Ted Harris - keyboards, Phillip Wilson - drums, Steve Mudaio - trumpet and percussion, Keith Johnson - trumpet and percussion, David Sanborn - alto saxophone and percussion, Trevor Lawrence - baritone saxophone and percussion, Gene Dinwiddie - tenor saxophone, percussion and vocals.
this is from the second movie that came out about woodstock. i love this clip. this is the song that made me go out and buy a harmonica. i use an e flat harp for this tune.
BBB as the sun comes up on Monday morning at Woodstock. Sha Na Na thinking they were going to get bumped chomping at the bit waiting to go on before Hendrix.
I may have gotten the players list from Wiki (re: Hicks) or wik may have said that the same lineup from the "Keep On Moving" album played Woodstock, but I'm sure about Buzz, Yes? Followed him my whole life.
When the film was released in '70, Joplin, Butterfield, Winter, Canned Heat, Mountain, were deleted from the final cut. It was beyond fucked up. What was included was what Warner's and record industry shit asses wanted you to hear, and promote. Disgraceful we had to wait 40 years to hear the real deal !!!
@NoSeasHuev0n Aw, fucking tell me about it, man! Have you caught the stuff on the 40th anniversary DVD set? Bliss, man, pure bliss... And they've got a nice crisp print of Morning Sunrise, to boot!
The Butterfield Blues Band was the greatest live band I've ever seen. A little bit disappointed with their song selection for Woodstock. They were loaded for bear with Buzzy, all five horn players and the great Philip Wilson on drums. Butterfield was just too good on harp.

Buzz Feiten here, one of the best guitar blues solos ever.

Howard Buzz's guitar solo is absolutely inspiring
LOVE the way that David Sanborn plays off of Paul in this video! Simply KILLIN'!!!!
Had chills by the time Buzzy got to his 5th bar. What a nice build. Dang.
Look up the Joplin CD 'Farewell Song' and a track called 'One Night Stand'. Has her on vocals with the Butterfield Blues Band backing her. Very up tempo, classic track.
Finally a version in sync. If this is on the new DVD it's worth it!
What a band of monsters.
Great guitar work by "Buzzy" Feiten!

By far the most interesting guitarist at Woodstock - Buzzy Feiten .
It's a shame that this wasn't in the movie.
Thanks for making this available
Dave Sanborn on sax
THIS IS FROM A FOLLOW-UP FILM CALLED "WOODSTOCK TWO". IT IS AVAILABLE ON-LINE.
spectacular....damn shame they were left out of the film like Monterey
THIS IS FROM "WOODSTOCK TWO", A FOLLOW-UP FILM. GOOD STUFF. LOOK FOR IT, IT'S AVAILABLE.
all the musicians knew...
Love Paul.
BBB as the sun comes up on Monday morning at Woodstock. Sha Na Na thinking they were going to get bumped chomping at the bit waiting to go on before Hendrix.
Seems this was the third of seven tracks Butter performed here.The whole band played very well, Butter, Sanborn and Feiten in particular.
THE AMAZING BUZZ FEITEN !
whar abour gene dinwiddie, dave sanborn, a lot of great musicians played with butterfield
.......From the Original BBBB!
oh man, I'm 24 but I'm so sure I was there, maybe in other kind o life. It's weird but this songs bring me memories, from a better time...
I may have gotten the players list from Wiki (re: Hicks) or wik may have said that the same lineup from the "Keep On Moving" album played Woodstock, but I'm sure about Buzz, Yes? Followed him my whole life.
Correction.....Bugsy Maugh-Bass
You can even hear them calling for Bugsy to get to the stage on the Woodstock album.
i remember the first time i watched this, starting at 3:39 it gave me chills
My mistake he was at Monterey
parabens!
Woodstock S2
Ainda vou pegar a máquina do tempo e assisti os 3 dias de Festival.
Neat.
David Sanborn sounded like David Sanborn before anyone knew how David Sanborn sounded
hey, are you guys sure it's Elvin Bishop on the guitar? I read somewhere that he and Bloomfied had left before this show. Amazing performance, my god
Go Mr. Bloomfield
This is not Bloomfield unfortunately

Disgraceful we had to wait 40 years to hear the real deal !!!
@teetosh No it's not the sound is slightly behind the film.
@NoSeasHuev0n Aw, fucking tell me about it, man! Have you caught the stuff on the 40th anniversary DVD set? Bliss, man, pure bliss... And they've got a nice crisp print of Morning Sunrise, to boot!
Sorry it's Howard Feiten on guitar not Bloomfield. Buzzy did a great job!
yea, and canned heat's performance was so fuckin awesome! a real shame
@KeepinBuzzy Seconded!!
but do you think he sounded like a younger Sanborn, a maturing Sanborn or an older Sanborn?
The Butterfield Blues Band was the greatest live band I've ever seen. A little bit disappointed with their song selection for Woodstock. They were loaded for bear with Buzzy, all five horn players and the great Philip Wilson on drums. Butterfield was just too good on harp.
@stanjarin he was 19 at the time
@noyna9 I meant Buzzy was 19.
This might be the blusiest fuckin' thing I ever heard.
Again, another performance not in the Woodstock movie. What?
@ManyGodz Take me with you, man, for God's sake!!!
4:15-4:27
What happened to the solos?
@TheAcoustics23 Elvin Bishop
Doh!!...Newport sorry
Mike Bloomfield...duh.
While that guitarist was really good, it wasn't Bloomfield.
lol...no
Woodstock movie is shit,for lack of many performances
