    I saw him perform in a little basement club in Toronto in 1999, maybe 40 people in the audience. I've never seen a performer like him before or since. He didn't need a band. He WAS the band. We were lucky to have him. RIP Brother

    Goosebumps, a tear in my eye, and a lump in my throat every time I watch this. This man had passion. He stole the show at Woodstock and made me want to pick up a guitar and play my soul thru it.

    Truly one of the best songs ever written and Richie Havens does a wonderful cover of this Quicksilver song. Always reminds me of my husband , brings tears to my eyes because he passed away almost nine years ago

    Love this man. Gave him a hug and told him that once. Great moment for me I like to brag about. I asked him "What happened to the hippies" He said' they got jobs and had children and are carrying it on in other ways...' Richie has the uncompromising message . Most hippies sold out.

    what's interesting is, he always plays this speedy nervous guitar accompanied with slow lyrics and voice ..

  • @derguteton
    @derguteton 12 лет назад

    it is written by dino valenti and first released by quicksilver messenger service - and the original version is pretty cool - and the lyrics are still pretty actual today - don't know too many songs that do that up to now - anyway - richie first recorded a pretty version for his album the great blind degree - for me his best - but every version of this song i know is simply brilliant - by the way jesse otis farrow was an alias for dino valenti caused of legal reasons ...

    try Jesse Farrow,songwriter
    ...from the album of the same name,QSMS/quicksilver messenger service
    Havens does a great job as usual -
    the song however is not of his creation.

  • @unprofound

    What I wonder is how the 3 "dislike" people got here.
    Richie Havens should not come up when searching for "most recent crapfest music."
