The Doors' LA Woman


I forgot just how much I loved LA Woman by The Doors until last weekend when it came up in the dance music at the Hokit-Roberts annual blowout, and we danced our asses off! It's my favorite LA song of all time--I also like it because I can sing along perfectly with Jim Morrison on this last record. We had the same register but I could never confidently sing along until he'd ravaged his voice.

Get Together Music Video by the Youngbloods (with Stephen Stills and Jackson Brown)

Here's a vid of the great 69ish Get Together by The Youngbloods. I went to a few rock festivals, and the best by far was the Sky River Rock Festival, where I saw the Youngbloods, Wishbone Ash, Delaney and Bonnie (w/ Eric Clapton as a guitar sideman), Jimmy Witherspoon (I remember vividly his smoldering "Soledad"), and The Buoys. This really is a tired hippie anthem, but I still have a soft spot for it. I've never heard a better version than the one they released as a single.
